The Vermillion Bird Fire tried to escape from the gap, but collided head-on with the Meteorite Heart Flame that had been accumulating for a long time.
The vermilion Suzaku Fire and the orange-yellow Meteorite Heart Flame were fiercely entangled with each other, and the high temperatures emitted by the two caused the surrounding space to distort.
Even the walls on all four sides began to emit black smoke, and even the formation could not withstand the high temperature.
The flames collided, making silent roars, each trying to devour the other.
The Meteorite Heart Flame is of a higher grade, but it is incomplete, as the little walnut had absorbed a lot of its fire essence.
Otherwise, with Xu Chunniang's strength, she would not be able to absorb it.
The quality of the Vermillion Bird Fire was slightly inferior. In the flames, a faint shadow of a Vermillion Bird flashed by, and a faint chirping sound was heard, like a flame that would never go out.
Xu Chunniang quickly controlled the heavy water to spread around the surroundings, thus protecting the house from being destroyed by the conflict between the two fires.
The battle between the two fires lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, the Meteorite Heart Flame, which had a suppressed level, prevailed.
The Vermillion Bird Fire started as a ball the size of a baby's fist, and was swallowed up smaller and smaller, until only a soybean-sized dot remained, stubbornly emitting a dazzling red light.
The mournful cry of the Vermilion Bird could be heard from within.
As one grows stronger, the other decreases. Compared to three days ago, the flame of the Meteorite Heart Flame is much brighter and more powerful.
It pounced on the Suzaku Fire for the last time, swallowing up the last bit of vermilion light.
After swallowing the Vermillion Bird Fire, the Meteorite Heart Flame seemed to have taken a tonic, and became much brighter overall, recovering to its mid-level fourth grade.
It touched Xu Chunniang's fingertips intimately and silently sank into her body.
Feeling the Meteorite Heart Flame which was much more powerful than before, Xu Chunniang couldn't help but sigh that the Vermillion Bird Fire was indeed a good thing, no wonder so many people wanted it.
The young master of the Zhu family can give this thing away at will, he is really rich and powerful.
After swallowing the Vermillion Bird Fire, Xu Chunniang did not delay any longer. She called Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai from the next room and prepared to go to the Hall of Merit to accept the mission.
However, as soon as she went out, she found that the atmosphere on the island was unusual, more solemn than usual, as if something bad had happened.
As she stepped into the Hall of Merit, a striking message above the light curtain in the hall confirmed her guess.
The east, south and west sides of Fenglei Island have been surrounded by millions of sea monsters, with only the north side remaining unencircled.
The island issued an urgent mission to kill the sea monster and required all monks to be on high alert and participate in this life-and-death battle.
Xu Chunniang felt a little depressed, as the excitement she had felt from swallowing the Vermillion Bird Fire quietly faded away.
A few months ago, there were rumors that the sea monster would attack Fenglei Island.
Since the news broke, Fenglei Island has strengthened its guard and patrol forces.
Unexpectedly, this day has finally come.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the battle report that was sent back not long ago. Since yesterday, Fenglei Island has been surrounded by sea monsters on the east, south and west sides, but so far, these sea monsters have not launched an attack.
The sea monster surrounded the east, south and west sides, leaving only the north. Was it a deliberate trap, or did they abandon the north because of lack of strength
In just a few breaths, many thoughts flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind.
Fenglei Island is a large island with hundreds of teleportation arrays of various sizes. It is not easy for the sea monster to capture Fenglei Island in a short period of time.
However, facing the three-sided siege by millions of sea monsters, it is not an easy task for Fenglei Island to win in a short period of time.
If the two sides are evenly matched, this will be a protracted battle.
Xu Chunniang suppressed her worries, received the meritorious mission, and walked outside.
After leaving the Hall of Merit, the Teleportation Hall is next door.
As I passed by, I could faintly hear noises of quarreling and argument coming from inside.
"Why don't you let me leave Fenglei Island? I have spirit stones, I want to leave here!"
"The sea monsters are surrounding the island on three sides. We are facing a powerful enemy. All the monks on the island are forbidden to leave the island and fight against the sea monsters in an all-out manner!"
"Dealing with sea monsters is a job for high-level cultivators. I am only a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. I can't play any role in a battle of this level. Staying here will only lead to death!"
"The survival of Fenglei Island concerns every cultivator on the island! Among the sea monsters that come to invade our island, in addition to those in the Nascent Soul and Golden Core realms, there are more sea monsters in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages.
Even the sea monsters can fight bravely on the front lines, how can our human cultivators escape in the face of battle?"
"They are just some low-level sea monsters. How can they be compared with human cultivators? Anyway, I don't care. I must leave Fenglei Island today!"
Hearing several quarrels coming from the teleportation hall, Xu Chunniang frowned slightly and an idea flashed through her mind.
A war is about to begin, and all monks on the island are forbidden to leave.
The sea monster deliberately did not surround the north. Could it be that it was intentionally leaving an escape route for these cowards to flee in the face of a battle, so as to weaken the power on the island
With a thought in mind, Xu Chunniang headed towards the north.
Sure enough, in the northern waters, several figures were seen fleeing in a hurry.
These cultivators are mostly in the Foundation Establishment Stage, mixed with some Golden Core Stage cultivators and Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
After running a few steps, they were blocked. A cold female cultivator in a white dress and without any makeup stood in front of these people.
The two Jindan cultivators recognized the identity of the visitor, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly bowed and saluted.
"Greetings to Master Leng Yu!"
When the other cultivators learned that the female cultivator in front of them was a Yuanying Zhenjun, they were horrified and hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings to Master Leng Yu!"
True Lord Leng Yu swept his eyes over these people, and his voice was as cold and pleasant as the collision of jade and stone, "Where are you going?"
When Yuanying Zhenjun glanced at them, they felt that all their thoughts were revealed, and they subconsciously lowered their heads.
"We are coming to the north... to survey the enemy."
"Yes, we heard that sea monsters have surrounded the east, south and west sides, so we thought of going to the north to see if there are any sea monsters."
"lie!"
True Lord Leng Yu glanced coldly at the dozen people in front of him and spoke bluntly.
The expressions of the two Jindan monks changed slightly, and they were suddenly speechless.
Several low-level monks thought that they would most likely die if they stayed, but they still spoke with gritted teeth.
"True Lord, I did lie, but I had no choice! If Fenglei Island could be stayed, or the teleportation array was not sealed, who would be willing to risk their lives to escape from the sea?"
"We are just some small cultivators in the foundation-building stage. We don't have any great abilities. If we really go to the front line to kill the enemy, we won't even make a splash and will become cannon fodder."
"Please give us a chance to live, Master. We are just some Qi training cultivators. It won't make any difference whether we are there or not."
Listening to the pleas of several people, True Lord Leng Yu remained unmoved. He opened his thin lips and said something that made the faces of those present change drastically.
"He who flees in fear of battle shall die!"
