Chapter 24: Furious Explosion of the Flame Beast

  ……

  Xuan Gui Xiao Ba also took off, running wildly with his feet. As for how a turtle could run so fast, it can probably only be explained by the divine beast bloodline.

  What is called a spiritual field is a place with relatively rich innate spiritual energy. People will search for spiritual land everywhere, and once found, they will start to cultivate the land, lay out the array, build a farm, recruit tenants, and form an industry.

  Some spirit fields can have hundreds or even thousands of acres, forming a huge farm, and even building castles, usually held in the hands of large forces.

  The spiritual fields also vary in quality, some excellent spiritual fields produce spiritual rice with extremely high yield and quality, which are called medium-grade or high-grade spiritual fields. But the small spiritual field of Chen Miao's family is only low-grade.

  Linggu non-ordinary rice, it is planted sparsely, with thick and sturdy roots. On each large ear of rice, only seven or eight Linggu grains are formed. But each grain of Linggu is several times larger than ordinary rice, slender and spindle-shaped. At this time, the Linggu has already begun to fill with milk, gradually becoming plump and swollen.

  This is one of the most critical moments for Lingguo to mature. The quality of fertilizer during irrigation and the pros and cons of Lingtian's quality will affect the final quality of Lingguo. After removing the rice bran, it becomes a grain of beautiful and spiritual rice.

  No wonder Chen Mo was worried, that farm was the only asset that could be taken out of the small family.

  Among them, in addition to the ordinary farmland of more than 100 mu, there is also a precious spiritual field. That mu of spiritual field, if planted properly, can produce 100 kilograms of spiritual rice per year.

  After deducting a portion for the ancestral family and some other expenses, there were still about thirty catties of Ling rice left at home.

  Long-term consumption of Lingmi can subtly refine tendons, bones and blood vessels, enhancing physical constitution. Cultivating it will yield twice the result with half the effort.

  At home, several children, the eldest Chen Huan's legs were disabled and he became a useless person. Chen Mo, due to his poor talent, was considered 'congenitally deficient' and had his monthly resource allowance reduced by the clan. The third child, He Lian Huo Wu, was only thirteen years old but showed amazing cultivation talent. Unfortunately, she was an adopted daughter of the family and not a biological descendant of the Chen clan, so she couldn't enter the ancestral hall and her monthly allowance could only be based on the standard for outsiders.

  If Lingtian significantly reduces production, it will add insult to injury for those already in a predicament.

  A loud roar echoed within the farm, at the edge of the spiritual field in the center of the farm, a massive, crimson beast weighing around 300-400 kilograms was rampaging.

  That monster's fangs were bared, its entire body covered in a layer of dark red scales that seemed to be shrouded in flames, its aura fierce and menacing as it charged forward recklessly, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

  It's a giant panda, and its head is quite astonishing.

  Four or five sturdy tenant farmers, armed with long spears and bows and arrows, stood far off shouting loudly, forming a human wall to scare it away from the sacred field.

  A middle-aged man with a crippled leg, wearing armor and wielding a ring-headed knife, was fiercely battling the Flame Beast. Every time he slashed out, a faint flame would appear on the blade, its power not to be underestimated, as if even rocks could be split apart.

  The sword rose and fell, that one move was truly "stable, accurate, and ruthless". However, it could only cut through some of its skin. Blood gushed out, ferocity burst forth. The beast let out a loud roar, its sharp teeth fiercely stabbed, but it was forced back step by step.

  Even so, relying on agility, the man still managed to wound it several times at a low cost.

  The injured Flame Beast let out a furious roar. It circled around, suddenly lowering its head and charging at one of the farmers, moving so fast that they couldn't react in time.

  That Flame Beast, whether it's the level of flame energy or physical strength, is far beyond that of ordinary people. Let alone one person, even if two or three middle-aged men were to gang up on it with all their might, they would likely end up either dead or injured.

  "You beast! How dare you!" The middle-aged man was both shocked and furious, but unfortunately it was already too late, and he could only watch as the tenant farmer's intestines were about to spill out, dying on the spot.

  "Hmm." A cold hum was heard, and everyone's eyes lit up. Before they could even look, a loud crash was heard.

  As he looked again, he saw a young man standing proudly, withdrawing his hand, while the Flame Beast was forced to retreat three meters away.

  "Second Young Master!" The crowd erupted in delight, and this person was none other than Chen Mo who had just arrived.

  "Get back, all of you. Don't give him another chance." Hao Lianhuo Wǔ had wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Chen Mo on the pretext of testing his skills. She watched from the side, ready for any unexpected event, and also let the tenants disperse, so as not to affect Chen Mo.

  "Waaaah~" The Flame Beast was in a sorry state, shaking its body, swinging its head, and letting out a deafening roar that pierced the eardrums. Due to its rage, a thin layer of flames had already ignited all over its body, making it look even more ferocious.

  The Flame Beast stood on one leg, its eyes fixed tightly on Chen Mo, and under the anger, its whole body's aura became even more ferocious. Just by looking at it, it was clear that it was not to be underestimated. After a simple confrontation, it exerted force against its fierce fangs and charged towards Chen Mo.

  The momentum is fierce, and in the blink of an eye, it has already reached half a meter away. This distance, for close combat, is an irreversible victory or defeat.

  Suddenly, the Flame Beast lifted its head and kicked its leg, and its speed increased again. Its sharp teeth were like a spear, stabbing straight at Chen Mo's throat. If he was stabbed, Chen Mo would definitely die on the spot.

  The fierce air was compressed into wind, Chen Mo's hair was forced back and lifted, and an invisible pressure was generated.

  "Second Brother!"

  "Master, get out of the way quickly!"

  The sudden change in circumstances was unexpected by others, and even Hao Lianhuo Wu didn't dare to face it head-on, causing everyone's hearts to tremble with fear.

  "Blazing a trail"

  Chen Mo let out a low growl, his aura surging violently, and in an instant he transformed into a furious Vajra.

  Fist meets forehead, two hard objects collide.

  "Boom"

  After the Flame Beast landed, it shook its head. The previous blow had indeed caused some harm to it. However, the Flame Beast was known for its thick skin and flesh, so it wasn't a big deal.

  Chen Mo retreated three steps, only then stabilizing his figure. The strength of this Flame Beast was indeed not to be underestimated. However, the force of the head-on collision had already caused him some internal injuries.

  If it were in the past, I would have been seriously injured by now.

  A thread of green intention under the bright mysterious energy flows inside the body, soothing the boiling blood and energy.

  Chen Mo's face was resolute and calm, with a fierce glint in his eyes. According to conventional wisdom, this Flame Ape Beast belonged to the second-tier demonic beast. Its combat strength was similar to that of a mid-ranking Spirit Master, but this one was even stronger by a notch.

  People can only make progress when forced, and they can only move up a level by constantly challenging themselves.

  The aura of light is circulating, thanks to the practice of the Diamond Fist. Unintentionally intimidating, compared to earlier, it's even more imposing.

  This fierce beast seemed to have some wisdom too, and did not launch another reckless attack. A pair of eyes full of offensive intent stared at Chen Mo.

  "Ahh......" A low growl, the Flame Beast suddenly charged forward, its sharp teeth bared at Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo just now, with a hard collision, has already suffered a loss and cannot help but remember. With leg strength, he suddenly shifted his body to the side and took a step back, the Flame Beast followed closely behind, pounced on empty air, and left a pit mark on the spot.

  The Flame Beast's body was enormous, and its speed was slower than Chen Mo's. But as soon as Chen Mo landed, the Flame Beast stopped with one foot, its four hooves stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground. It turned its head, revealing its sharp fangs, and suddenly sprang up to attack Chen Mo.

  Chen Mo's feet had just stabilized when a strong gust of wind suddenly came. But his will was firm, and he calmly made a move called "Evergreen", forming a defensive posture.

  He was knocked back three or four steps by the fierce and overbearing power of Yan Lie's punch, his throat sweet and almost vomiting blood.

  The monster is indeed a monster, with an overwhelming aura of savagery.

  "King Kong's roar."

  Chen Mo stopped in his tracks, then suddenly lunged forward, and in a flash, his body was like a golden armor, majestic and powerful, with shoulders as strong as a battering ram. This seemingly slow but actually fast movement caught the Flame Beast off guard, its sturdy body sent rolling to the ground, where it tumbled several times before finally coming to a stop.

  The whole body was covered with dust, looking disheveled. But Chen Mo was clear that the fighting ability of this Flame Lynx was far from enough to kill it.

  As expected, Yan Lie's body shook violently. Smoke and dust filled the air, churning and rolling, making it impossible to see clearly.

  Suddenly, a flame burst forth from within, growing larger and larger, the surrounding air transmitting a clear burning sensation, and amidst the dust was a withered, scorched smell. Chen Mo's heart sank, but his footsteps retreated not, instead advancing forward.

  "Roar!" Accompanied by the deafening beastly roar, the flames surged instantly, and the ferocious shape of the Flame Beast emerged.

  The monster was enraged, but Chen Mo did not dodge its sharp edges, showing no fear, and let out a loud roar, stirring up his surging battle intent.

  "Golden key opens the door."

  Chen Mo let out a loud roar, his footsteps striding forward in large steps as he charged forward. With the assistance of the radiant and profound energy's utmost yang power, he was like a golden Vajra descending into the world, his majestic aura spreading in all directions.

  He seized the moment, mobilized his whole body's strength, and concentrated all his power into one fist. He sprang up, charged forward with an unstoppable momentum, and struck with a force that was hard to resist.

  "Bang!" The fist was like an iron hammer, and the belly of the Flame Beast was a heavy drum. This punch came down, if it were a drumhead, it would definitely be shaken to pieces. Unfortunately, even if the beast was strong, it was still a living creature with blood and flesh, and the Flame Beast was no exception. Although its outer skin didn't break, it hit right at the heart.

  Almost all living things have weaknesses, just like the Flame Beast and humans are the same, if their head is blown up, they will definitely die.

  Chen Mo also knew, but Yan Lie's beast had a head as hard as fine iron. He could only hit its heart like shooting a cow over a mountain, and the Yan Lie beast let out a mournful howl in mid-air.

  Chen Mo's footsteps fell heavily on the ground at the same time, and a loud thud sounded from behind him. The crowd let out a long sigh of relief.

  The monster was just a monster, without enough wisdom, straightforward and no one was so flexible, the fire beast that was just so arrogant and violent, now can only lie on the ground, constantly wailing in its throat, spitting blood from its mouth, and convulsing all over its body.

  Chen Mo walked up and grasped its throat with his hand, exerting a burst of force.

  The Flame Beast kicked its legs twice and then completely lost its breath.

  "Second brother, so amazing." He Lian Huo Wu's clear eyes sparkled with excitement as she ran over: "Second brother worked hard, next I'll collect the spoils of war." She obediently went to help.

  Seeing her happy, Chen Mo also let her go. Such a big flame beast is actually a source of meat that can nourish blood and benefit qi.

  Everyone was delighted. The Fire Kirin had destroyed buildings and walls, but it hadn't trampled the spiritual fields. As long as the soon-to-mature Spiritual Grains weren't damaged, everything would be fine.
