Chapter 89: The Ice and Fire Bird

  Huo Hai's current lineup and strength are completely superior to a team composed of well-trained Lingzhu Boundary experts, with even more combat power. Moreover, their methods are extremely special, and the Gu insects are also very secretive.

  After finding no more danger, Huo Hai began to rampage across the entire Miga Mountain. Along the river, he moved upstream at the fastest speed. All the spiritual beasts that met his conditions on the way were caught and turned into materials in his hands. Unfortunately, some materials were not convenient to carry and had to be thrown away.

  For example, the tortoise shell of a dry land turtle is not cheap, but Hao Hai can only carry one at most, and it will become a burden. The most dangerous spiritual beast in Miga Mountain is also the most numerous spiritual beast.

  Four common spiritual beasts were the main targets of Huo Hai. As he went deeper into the Miga Mountains, his gains grew greater. The second time he encountered the Blood Red Dragonfly, Huo Hai had learned his lesson and did not immediately take action.

  Instead, he let the Star Gu worms sneak in quietly and hide among the Blood Red Dragonflies to eliminate their vigilance. It took a whole half day until dusk before Ho Hai could release the pressure of the Gu worms.

  This time, the harvest was indeed much greater than before. However, Hao Hai was still very depressed: "Blood Red Dragonfly is really troublesome, ordinary people can't catch it unless it's weak." Looking at the Blood Red Dragonfly on the ground, Hao Hai could only sigh in frustration. He had used a lot of methods, and even waited until the Blood Red Dragonfly fell to the ground before choosing to take action.

  But even so, nearly half of the Blood-red Dragonflies escaped. When Huo Hai started collecting spoils of war, his mood improved a lot. Each and every one of these Blood-red Dragonflies were points and contributions to the Academy.

  After all the blood-red dragonflies were stored in the box, Huo Hai knew that his purpose this time had been achieved. With so many blood-red dragonflies, combined with what he had collected earlier, the academy's contribution would probably reach around a thousand. The two hundred academy contributions needed to buy the Bone Refining Pill were naturally sufficient. However, Huo Hai still didn't leave.

  "I don't know what Miga Shan has, but the academy's contribution seems to be still not enough." The Bone Refining Pill was indeed sufficient, but Hao Hai knew that this was far from enough. Hao Hai had many more things he needed, and these things also required the academy's contribution.

  Without contributing, you can't get these things from the college. Now that there's such a good opportunity, you must make the most of it once and for all. When you go back and hand in your task, your gains will definitely be exposed.

  At that time, for a very long period of time, the number of students visiting Miga Mountain would be extremely high. If he didn't want to expose himself, then Huo Hai wouldn't be able to come to Miga Mountain at that time. Besides, this time when he returned, he had to prepare for cultivating the Ling Bone Array. For a very long period of time, he could only rely on his old savings; now earning more was naturally not a problem.

  Then Huo Hai continued to venture deeper inside. Inside Miga Mountain, there was indeed nothing that could affect Huo Hai. Especially after Huo Hai fully entered Miga Mountain and used the sneak attack method to take down two Lingzhu Boundary spirit beasts.

  This idea is even more unstoppable. The low-level spiritual beast, in Huo Hai's eyes, has become an experience gift package and a resource gift package. As long as it passes through its own territory, it can hunt and kill at will.

  "Chirp......" Suddenly, a bird's cry echoed through the air. Huo Hai looked up and saw a large bird with a completely blue body, looking very beautiful. At this time, the big bird was lowering its head to look for something, probably out to find food.

  Wait, this big bird, why does it look so familiar? Huo Hai furrowed his brow and thought carefully, then took out the Miga Mountain Spirit Beast Atlas he had prepared from his backpack. "It's actually this one, the Ice Fire Bird. Is my luck that good?" The atlas had an introduction on it. The Ice Fire Bird had appeared in Miga Mountain before, but its numbers were extremely rare.

  Moreover, as the Ice Fire Bird that can at least reach the pinnacle of the Spiritual Realm, its body produces a very special ice fire crystal. This crystal, if given to those high-ranking experts who need to break through to the Spiritual Realm, is probably something worth a city.

  The spiritual beast that reaches the spiritual realm often produces some special crystals in its body. Because the spiritual realm is still relatively low-level, generally only those spiritual beasts with strong characteristics can produce such crystals.

  Some crystallizations are a kind of crystal nucleus, which can help with cultivation and is similar to spiritual stones but easier to absorb. Some may be inner elixirs, which are better for refining pills. There are also some that are extremely special crystallizations. Just like the Ice Fire Bird, the ice fire crystallization in its body is this type. The value of ice fire crystallization is simply immeasurable.

  Unfortunately, the number of ice and fire birds has always been very small. Although there are records of ice and fire birds on the picture book, few people have seen them. Some people even doubt whether Miga Mountain still has ice and fire birds, or if they have left or died early.

  "Hmph, Icefire Bird of the Spiritual Realm, I'll take your Crystal Core." Huo Hai's eyes narrowed. Since he had hunted and killed several spiritual beasts from the Spiritual Realm, Huo Hai no longer felt any fear towards them.

  Huo Hai immediately ordered Xiao Jin to set off, and several star wasps also took off at the same time. The star wasps attracted firepower head-on, while Xiao Jin launched a sneak attack from behind. Both types of wasps were extremely fast and could fly. They had previously hunted down spiritual beasts together in coordination.

  Very soon, the Gu insects approached the Ice Fire Bird flying at low altitude. Just as Xiao Jin was about to take a bite, the corner of Huo Hai's mouth had already curled up into an arc. But in the next moment, Huo Hai's smile completely froze on his lips.

  The Ice Fire Bird flapped its wing, and Xiao Jin and the Star Beasts were blown away directly. They didn't have any resistance at all. This flap carried a powerful force on the Red Ridge, and this spiritual energy was icy to the bone. Xiao Jin fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and almost froze his entire body stiff. The Ice Fire Bird looked at Xiao Jin, seemingly uninterested.

  It's also possible that Xiao Jin didn't want to eat because it was poisonous. But Xing Huang wasn't so polite. With a light peck, Xing Huang was hung from the beak of Bing Huo Niao. Unfortunately, Bing Huo Niao didn't have teeth as good as Han Di Gui's.

  The mouth bit twice, and didn't hurt Xing Huang at all. Huo Hai let out a breath of relief, and immediately gave the order to attack.

  As soon as the order was received, Xing Huang didn't hesitate and bit down on the beak that was covering his mouth. "Crack" A small piece of Binghuo Niao's beak was bitten off. Although it wasn't very painful, Binghuo Niao immediately flew into a rage.

  Mouth agape, a blue flame of the combustion type engulfed its entire body. This was the Icefire Bird's unique special ability - Iceflame. Iceflame was a special ability produced when the attribute of ice reached an extreme level, and only a very small number of spiritual beasts possessed it. The Icefire Bird was already one of the lowest-level spiritual beasts to possess Iceflame. Huo Hai had underestimated the Icefire Bird's strength, or rather, he had overestimated himself.

  Every one who reaches the spiritual realm has their own strong points. At first, Huo Hai didn't encounter any, or rather, even if he did, they would be suppressed by him, so he didn't take the high-ranking spiritual practitioners seriously.

  But as soon as the frost flame appeared, Huo Hai knew he was wrong. Flames are what insects fear, and low temperatures are also what they fear. When low temperatures turn into flames, that's frost flames, with an abnormally terrifying lethal power to living organisms. Especially for insects, which have much weaker vitality and spiritual energy compared to large-scale organisms.

  The icy flames burned, and the few star wasps that were originally surrounding the Ice Fire Bird immediately caught on to the blue flames. The body's defense was completely ineffective, and the spiritual energy stored inside only resisted for a short while.

  A moment later, the Star Swallows fell down, and at this time, Huo Hai also learned from Xiao Xing that these few Star Swallows had died. This was the second time a Star Swallow had died since he entered Miga Mountain. Huo Hai's eyes widened in shock, never having thought that such beautiful and delicate birds could have such terrifying killing power.

  Looking at the Ice Fire Bird, with its entire body burning with flames, Huo Hai knew. With the protection of such flames, his own Star Gu and Xiao Jin would not be able to attack it. Even getting close would make it possible to be directly frozen to death by the blue flames.

  "What's going on here? Is Ice Flame's power really that strong, even Star Gu can't resist it?"

  Just as Huo Hai was thinking about this, he suddenly found that the situation seemed to have changed. Binghuo Bird, because it was bitten by Xing Huan, became completely enraged. With a thick ice flame, Binghuo Bird quickly flew up.

  Along the way, as long as they encountered a star worm, it was directly frozen to death by a mouthful of icy flames. Even some small insects that looked like star worms couldn't escape the Icefire Bird's pursuit and slaughter. With just one mouthful of icy flames, nothing could withstand it. Perhaps only the Dry Land Turtle had such terrifying defensive capabilities to resist the attack of the icy flames.

  "This is terrible, damn it, how could this be." While Hao Hai was still thinking about it, the Ice Fire Bird had already hunted and killed nearly a hundred Star Worms. Even though Hao Hai had more than five thousand Star Worms in his hands, losing a hundred of them still pained him.

  At first, when dealing with the Dry Land Turtle, there weren't such heavy losses. This is simply a huge failure, a huge shame. Dammit, what bad luck, how did I encounter something so dangerous? This Ice Fire Bird, is it really the natural enemy of the Star Worm?

  Huo Hai's reaction was swift, and he immediately judged the limitations of the Ice Fire Bird. With a stir in his heart, he commanded: "All Star Gu, enter the underground completely, do not come out." As soon as Huo Hai's command was given, the Star Gu sprang into action.

  Even Xiao Jin, who had just recovered, and his own Xiao Xing, were ordered by Huo Hai to enter the underground, hiding themselves completely to prevent Ice Fire Bird's pursuit. This thing was really too dangerous.
