Chapter 492
Xiao Jinting tensed up. He had fought with the beast for a long time. Its strength was not exhausted much, but he got tired. If this continued, he would be defeated.
Xu Muan attacked the beast with fire. The beast rolled over and opened its mouth mockingly, swallowing up the fire.
It said with excitement, “Nice. One more.”
Xu Muan said, “Its bottom is injured.”
The beast dashed toward Xu Muan angrily, and Xiao Jinting stabbed at its bottom with his sword.
There was a mark on the bottom of the beast, and he stabbed at it right there.
The beast shrank like a deflated balloon.
It looked at Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan angrily and roared, “I’ll eat you up. I will. I will tear your flesh off one piece after one and let you groan in pain for forty-nine days.” It sounded weak. Perhaps it hadn’t eaten anything for a long time.
Xiao Jinting waved his sword and aimed at the mark again. The beast felt the danger and reluctantly dodged. They fought for a long while before Xiao Jinting stabbed the mark again.
The flaming beast grew smaller.
It was not ferocious anymore. It attempted to run away like a skinned cub in terror. Xiao Jinting wouldn’t let it go, and he chased it.
The ferocious beast got smaller and smaller, and it vanished.
It turned into a flame, in the center of which floated a demonic beast the size of a pea. Although it was tiny, the beast had an imposing manner. Perhaps it pretended to be ferocious because it had got weak.
…
The beast roared in a childish voice, “Bastard, you hit me when I was weak. I will kill you. You will regret it. I’ll mince you and swallow you up.”
Xiao Jinting put the flame in his space ring indifferently.
Xu Muan asked, “How is it?”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “My luck is incredible. The flame is called Sky Swallowing Flame. After it got the sense, it wandered around and swallowed countless creatures.”
“One day, he killed a Tao Tie from a dignified family, and the family was enraged, confining it with a mark.”
“Sky Swallowing Flame was so unruly that the Tao Tie family couldn’t tame it, so they confined him with an array. They thought of taming it after it got obedient, but something happened, and the flame stayed in confinement. Its spiritual power had been consumed by the array, and it got weaker.”
Xu Muan asked, “The confining array?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “There’s an array on the tenth floor, and it weakens the flame, which has been staying here for tens of thousands of years according to its memory.”
The Tao Tie family was greedy. If the flame had been a Tao Tie, it had died of hunger.
They arrived at the right time. Tens of thousands of years ago, the flame was much stronger than now.
Xu Muan asked in confusion, “He got imprisoned by the Tao Tie family. Why does he transform into a Tao Tie?”
Xiao Jinting thought for a while and said, “Perhaps it wanted to stand up from where it fell. Perhaps it thought it was powerful, but the Tao Tie family was stronger than him. Or perhaps it tried to remember how its enemies look like.”
Xu Muan asked, “Have you tamed the flame?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not obedient.”
Xu Muan said, “Take your time.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yeah. By the way, it comes from the Immortal World.”
Xu Muan said, “I guess so. What does the Immortal World look like in the flame’s memory?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head ruefully. “It cares about food only. It has a messy memory.”
Although he managed to tame the flame, it would take time to make Flame do things for him. However, he had stamped Flame with his soul mark, and it would bow to him sooner or later.
“Where are Long Xue and Fu Li?”
Xiao Jinting said, “They escaped. The beast guarded the entrance with an attempt to swallow them once they show up.”
Xu Muan was speechless.
