Chapter 1372 - 1371: Discovering the Qing Fire Sprite

As for flying over quickly, that would be pretty much the same as looking for death.

First, I might be spotted by the Black Phoenix; second, there are too many flames in the air.

Sticking close to the ground instead, there aren't many flames.

And having walked this far in, even Zhang Bin was starting to reach his limit.

His protective shield had been bombarded by high-level flames way too many times.

"Basketball, it's all up to you now."

Zhang Bin said, his face serious.

"Master, just relax. With me here, no flames will be able to bombard your body."

Basketball said arrogantly.

Although it wasn't the most top-tier Fire Spirit, it was only one level weaker than a Purple Fire Spirit.

And Purple Fire Spirits, in this world there were only three; right now it wasn't even clear whether they'd been eaten by the Black Phoenix.

You could say that Basketball used to be a hegemon-level existence in this world.

Of course it could control the flames of this world.

So, Zhang Bin put away his protective shield.

Once he found Mo Tunyu and You Jiuxuan, he would still need the shield for the fight to the death.

Borrowing Basketball's strength was obviously the best option.

However, letting Basketball reveal itself carried a certain risk.

Namely, it might be discovered by the Black Phoenix.

And then come chasing over.

So Zhang Bin became especially serious, his face written full of vigilance.

He quickly advanced in stealth.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Flames shot wildly, scorching hot to the extreme.

But any flame that shot over would suddenly change trajectory.

They couldn't touch Zhang Bin at all.

That was, of course, Basketball manipulating the flames.

"Hehehe… Having a Fire Spirit really is awesome. Entering the Phoenix Forbidden Zone becomes way more convenient and way safer. Without a Fire Spirit, You Jiu Xuan trying to pick Fire Spirit Fruits is probably not going to be so easy."

Zhang Bin grinned smugly.

After all, in the Flame Forbidden Zone you could only walk; you couldn't fly, and you couldn't burrow underground.

Because the soil here was special, containing terrifying flame energy; there might even be restrictions laid down.

Using Earth Escape was far too dangerous.

Gradually, Zhang Bin slipped into a dense forest.

He even jumped up from time to time, naturally to pick Fire Spirit Fruits off the trees.

Of course, if not for Basketball's defense, jumping up like this would be no different from committing suicide.

Because the flames in the air were dense as rain.

Even if he transformed into a True Dragon, he might not be able to avoid them all.

White Thunder Spirit Fruits, red Fire Spirit Fruits, orange, yellow, green Fire Spirit Fruits.

Zhang Bin unceremoniously picked a lot of them.

These fruits were all treasures, perfectly suited for Taiqing Sect Disciples to use for cultivation.

Finally, Zhang Bin slipped into the Blue Fire Spirit Fruit region.

He had just picked a few dozen fruits when Basketball said excitedly, "Master, I've sensed a Fire Spirit. But it's blue-coloured, still not as strong as me. It's female and calls itself Qingliang. That thing isn't pretty at all, but it once really wanted to pursue me, so I rejected it. Do you want to capture it?"

"Damn, a blue Fire Spirit? Of course we're catching it. Forget blue, even a green one, we'd capture it." Zhang Bin was so delighted he almost fainted. A blue Fire Spirit could completely serve as a Foundation Establishment Treasure, and not even a low-grade one. After all, blue flame already counted as Immortal Flame; a blue Fire Spirit already counted as a treasure you'd only see in the Immortal Realm.

It basically didn't exist in the Mundane Realm.

Besides, if they captured Qingliang and paired her with Basketball, they could breed more Fire Spirits.

Thus, under Basketball's guidance, Zhang Bin rapidly advanced in stealth.

Soon, they arrived at a very special place.

There was a high cliff here, its face covered in plants and Large Trees.

"Master, see it? That ugly thing is hiding under that blue-coloured rock on the cliff. That should be its new home, looks like there's a cave there." Basketball pointed as it spoke.

Zhang Bin looked left and right, carefully sensing, but still didn't discover any Fire Spirit hiding there.

"Master, stop looking. For you humans to discover us Fire Spirits is extremely difficult. But I can easily sense Fire Spirits that are lower-level than me." Basketball said smugly. "So, I can slip easily into the home of any beautiful Fire Spirit, and then I'll do that to them. So yeah, lots of beautiful Elves in here count as my lovers."

"You're badass…"

Zhang Bin was stunned, almost bursting out laughing.

Basketball really was damn hilarious.

However, Zhang Bin still didn't immediately fly up to capture that Fire Spirit.

He asked solemnly, "Can you sense You Jiuxuan and Mo Tunyu?"

"That's way too hard. They're both very strong, using Invisibility Ability and Space Dao Law; I basically can't detect them." Basketball said. "But it's not easy for them to capture Fire Spirits either. Back then I only got caught by You Jiuxuan because I was being chased by the Black Phoenix, and then he took me out of here. I was outside for many years. Otherwise, by now I might have cultivated up to Purple Fire Spirit level."

"This place is no good to linger in; I still shouldn't stay long. I have to find those two bastards as quickly as possible. Kill them and get out. Otherwise, if the Black Phoenix wakes up, I might end up in a fate worse than eternal damnation." Zhang Bin muttered in his heart as he slowly flew up, heading straight for that blue-coloured rock on the cliff.

Of course, he used his Invisibility Ability, plus Space Dao Law.

Thoroughly screening off the aura from his body.

Even when he reached the area near that blue-coloured rock.

Zhang Bin still couldn't see any Fire Spirit, nor could he sense anything abnormal.

"Damn, Fire Spirits are this good at hiding? Without Basketball pointing the way, finding one Fire Spirit would basically be impossible for me." Zhang Bin sighed inwardly.

"Whoosh…"

Before Zhang Bin could lift the rock, he heard a sound of something tearing through the air.

A streak of blue-coloured Light shot out from under the rock.

Rapidly fleeing into the distance.

It was exactly the Fire Spirit Qingliang.

Clearly, it wasn't simple; it sensed danger, or maybe it saw Zhang Bin.

And rushed out to escape.

"Where do you think you're going?"

There was no way Zhang Bin would let it go; naturally he used his fastest Speed to give chase.

Ever since cultivating the Xing Yue civilization's Spatial Attribute Technique, the Star-Moon Divine Technique, Zhang Bin's understanding of space had deepened again, and his comprehension of Space Dao Law had further improved.

His Speed had also increased; he actually stuck right to Qingliang's tail.

He wasn't getting shaken off.

Anyway, he wasn't afraid of the flames here.

After all, Basketball was helping him block the flames.

The only thing he had to worry about was the Black Phoenix.

However, Qingliang was just as afraid of the Black Phoenix, so it shouldn't dare flee toward more dangerous areas.

"Whoosh…"

As Qingliang flew at Rapid speed, she cursed loudly, "Lan-sha, you bastard, not only did you become a human's running dog, you even brought a human to capture me. Why don't you just drop dead?"

Clearly, everyone in here knew that Basketball had once been captured and taken away by You Jiuxuan.

So none of the Spirits had any goodwill toward Basketball.

Besides, back then Basketball had refused to do that with Qingliang, so how could Qingliang possibly have anything nice to say about Basketball?
