Chapter 169 Unexpected Turn of Events, Eight-Tailed Fire Fox

As the place where the Stone Forest Ghost Lord had cultivated in seclusion for many years, even though the Stone Forest Ghost Lord had escaped, it still retained an extremely strong yin energy.

Under Su Wuchen's careful search, they indeed discovered the items left behind by the Stone Forest Ghost Lord.

"weapon?"

"Pills?"

"Array base?"

When Su Wuchen examined the things Zhu Kui and the others had brought, he couldn't help but frown.

These things are obviously useless to the Stone Forest Ghost Lord, otherwise he would have used them during the battle, and he wouldn't have abandoned them.

"These things seem to be of no use to the Stone Forest Ghost Lord."

The Heavenly Prison Beast raised its paw and pointed at the thing on the ground, "However, it is quite useful to Zhu Kui."

Su Wuchen nodded.

Many of the pills here are for healing injuries and improving cultivation.

For the Stone Forest Ghost Lord, healing pills were completely unnecessary, and as for pills to improve cultivation, they were dispensable at his level.

Unless it's a diluted rare item, it's unlikely to have much effect on his cultivation.

Su Wuchen casually tossed the item to Zhu Kui and said, "Let's see if there's anything else. If not, let's continue deeper."

"good!"

Su Wuchen already possesses combat strength comparable to the mid-stage of the second rank, or even the Great Perfection, so continuing to delve deeper is naturally not a big problem.

Just as Su Wuchen and his companions were about to leave after their fruitless search, the Heavenly Prison Beast suddenly sensed that someone was secretly watching them.

"Don't leave any trace, let's leave first."

Upon learning of this situation, Su Wuchen immediately gave some instructions and then headed deeper into the area.

As Su Wuchen and the others left, a fire fox with eight tails quietly appeared in the territory of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Firefox wore a mocking expression.

Why has the Stone Forest Ghost Lord lingered here for so many years?

It's because a ten-thousand-year-old Flame Demon Flower grows inside the cave of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord!

The Stone Forest Ghost Lord settled here because of this ten-thousand-year-old Flame Demon Flower, in order to protect it.

Very few people knew about this, and he only learned about it by accidentally killing a third-grade demon beast.

only.

The Flame Demon Flower hasn't bloomed yet, so even if he really wanted it, he wouldn't be reckless enough to fight the Stone Forest Ghost Lord on his territory.

But it is different now.

Not long ago, he sensed the battle taking place on the territory of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord.

His first thought was that someone had their eyes on the Flame Demon Flower, which was why they had taken action against the Stone Forest Ghost Lord.

But when he actually infiltrated the area, he discovered that it was just three clueless young men who had stumbled into the territory of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord and started fighting with him.

Since Su Wuchen and the others did not know the location of the Flame Demon Flower and even forced the Stone Forest Ghost Lord to leave, wasn't this obviously giving him an opportunity?

but.

He was equally puzzled that three cultivators at the third rank had failed to discover the location of the Flame Demon Flower!

and so.

Where did the Stone Forest Ghost Lord hide the Flame Demon Flower?

The fox pressed its ears close to the ground, listening intently to the sounds underground. After changing locations several times, the fox was overjoyed.

He heard the sound of energy surging underground, a sign that the Flame Demon Flower was absorbing energy and was about to bloom!

After checking the surroundings and confirming that no one was secretly watching, Firefox immediately took action and dug towards the place where the source was gathered.

But soon, the smile on Firefox's face disappeared.

In front of him was a huge underground space, radiating heat.

In a huge pool of lava, a strange flower bud, about to bloom, stands quietly atop the lava.

But he found it difficult to get close!

"Damn it!"

"That damned thing actually set up an array around the Flame Demon Flower!"

"No wonder they didn't notice!"

Firefox couldn't help but curse repeatedly.

He now understood why the Stone Forest Ghost Lord hadn't taken the Flame Demon Flower with him immediately after being forced to leave.

Firstly, the Flame Demon Flower had not yet reached the blooming stage and needed several more hours. Secondly, the Stone Forest Ghost Lord had set up an array around the Flame Demon Flower.

Protected by the array, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to spot the Flame Demon Flower, let alone take it away.

But it's a good deal for me!

After examining the formation for a while, Fiery Fox frowned.

The Flame Demon Flower was right in front of him, but he couldn't easily enter the formation. The only way was to break through the formations one by one!

However, if he were to break the formation, the commotion would likely attract the attention of others.

In addition, the Flame Demon Flower needs several more hours to bloom successfully.

so----

"wait!"

Fire Fox made up his mind that the moment the Flame Demon Flower bloomed, he would break through the arrays surrounding it, capture the Flame Demon Flower as the source spread, and quickly escape.

By then, even if someone notices something is wrong, by the time they arrive, all that will be left is an empty lava pool.

"Why did that fox burrow underground?"

"He must know what treasures are here."

"9

Su Wuchen insisted that there must be more valuable items in the hands of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord.

This eight-tailed fire fox knew something about it, which is why it quietly came over, wanting to take the opportunity to steal it!

"Should we go in?"

"No need."

Su Wuchen smiled and shook his head. "He's underground. Now that we've located him, there's no way we can let him escape!"

The Heavenly Prison Beast nodded, a smile on its face, and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

"That's right!"

Time passed slowly, but the fire fox underground remained motionless, which aroused suspicion in Su Wuchen and his companions.

Since Fire Fox knew what good things Stone Forest Ghost Lord had, why didn't he take them immediately, but instead left them underground without showing himself?

Did they detect their location?

If that's the case, he should have fled immediately instead of staying down there.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

"No need."

Su Wuchen shook his head. "He hasn't discovered us yet. If we show ourselves rashly, he will definitely be on guard and run away in advance."

"We can't keep waiting like this, can we?"

Zhu Kui said softly, "We've been waiting for several hours already, we can't just keep wasting time like this, can we?"

Just then.

A strong tremor suddenly came from underground. Su Wuchen and the other two tensed up, clearly Fire Fox had begun to make its move.

but----

Su Wuchen actually sensed a hint of an array.

Is there a formation underground?

What are formations used to protect or hide?

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Su Wuchen made a quick decision and called the Heavenly Prison Beast and the others to go underground.

The fire fox shattered the arrays one by one, rushed to the Flame Demon Flower, and raised its paw to take it away.
