NOVEL NEXT Chapter 114: Magma Clan
Familiar pose! Familiar movement!
Once again, he was held in Liu Li's arms, heading towards the location of the Extreme Fire Domain.
The girl's soft body emitted a faint, subtle fragrance, carried by the breeze brushing against his cheek.
Gu Xing's ears involuntarily grew hot.
Although the sensation was definitely comfortable…
He still gritted his teeth inwardly:
I have to break through to Commander Level as soon as possible!
At the Commander Level, he'd be able to fly on his own, using Domain Power!
Being carried by his own Guardian Beast while flying…
It gave him a special kind of shame!
"Master, we've arrived."
Liu Li gently set him down, her snow-white wings folding elegantly.
Even though her tone was still calm, Gu Xing keenly noticed…
A blush flashed across the girl's porcelain cheeks, vanishing in an instant.
At the moment their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat.
Some unfamiliar stirring spread through his chest…
In the midst of this subtle atmosphere, a vibrant green figure suddenly bounced out from the Beast Taming Space.
"Master! You and Liu Li… you don't have something going on, do you?"
Vera tilted her little head, gazing suspiciously at Gu Xing and Liu Li.
Earlier, Liu Li had thrown her into the Beast Taming Space.
As soon as she got out, she immediately noticed something weird going on between her master and that Angel.
This Angel… she's not stealing snacks, is she!
As the possibility occurred to her, Vera's pupils shrank, and she doubled her efforts to search for any clues between the two.
Gu Xing coughed lightly and changed the subject. "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."
Liu Li cooperatively grabbed Vera by the back of her collar and set her aside. "Go play over there!"
As Liu Li put her aside, Vera dumbly pointed at herself.
She— a kid?!
At that moment, she really wanted to transform back into her true form, and tell Gu Xing:
"She's not small at all, on the contrary…"
"She's actually huge!"
But then, suddenly remembering something, she wilted instantly.
With her master's slow-on-the-uptake personality, if she turned back to her real form…
She'd probably be waiting for the rest of her life for him to take the initiative!
So honestly…
Staying in kid form was pretty nice.
Thinking that, she pounced towards Gu Xing at once.
"Master, Liu Li's bullying me~"
Liu Li intercepted her precisely, lifting her by the collar like a kitten.
"Behave."
After warning Vera, Liu Li looked around and reminded Gu Xing:
"Master, something's getting closer!"
Gu Xing looked ahead— before them stretched a world of fire.
And from within the flames, a group of defeated-looking figures walked out.
Their entire bodies were made of fire!
Upon seeing Gu Xing, they showed no signs of attacking.
Seeing this, Liu Li explained in a low voice:
"Master, that's the Magma Clan. They only obsess over devouring flames, they're not hostile to humans."
As if to confirm her words, a particularly fierce flaming Magma Clan Leader stepped forward from among the group.
"Lea-- leave this place."
"This place has already been taken over by an Angel! She doesn't allow anyone near it!"
As soon as he said this, the group behind him immediately looked crestfallen.
For the Magma Clan, not being able to devour the flames here was like having a banquet placed before them— but they're not allowed to eat!
Gu Xing casually checked the info on this little flame person.
[Magma Clan (Clan Leader)]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Ninth]
[Talent: Legendary Nine Stars]
[Power: 1]
[Constitution: 1]
[Spirit: 2500]
[Speed: 1]
[Skill: Flame Domain]
[Introduction: A special race, born relying on fire, spending their entire life pursuing flames (maximum King Level)]
Seeing the introduction for the little flame guy, Gu Xing stroked his chin.
No wonder they're not interested in Divine Patterns…
Turns out it's a race limited by their own racial cap!
They could only reach Monarch Level at best, even if they got Divine Patterns it'd be useless!
Still, this race… is really unique!
Aside from their shocking Spiritual Attributes, all their other stats were pathetically low.
What was even odder, the entire clan apparently shared only one skill.
[Flame Domain: All clan members linked as a single entity]
Seeing that description, Gu Xing pretty much wrapped his head around their mechanics.
So the stronger the individual, the stronger the entire clan gets.
Except right now…
Gu Xing gave them a once-over.
Other than this Clan Leader, it looked like not a single other Magma Clan member even reached Extraordinary Level.
No wonder they got kicked out by that War Angel!
But this kind of clan…
Could he lure them back to Longxia Country?
The thought suddenly popped into his mind!
This race had no conflict whatsoever with humans, and their desire was as simple as could be.
All they wanted was fire!
And fire…
Gu Xing's gaze swept over the Fire Domain ahead.
I definitely need to get the Ultimate Fire. If he used that as bait, could he lure this group of little flame guys back to Longxia?
If he managed to grow all of them to Monarch Level…
That'd be a huge boost to Longxia Country's strength!
Thinking that, Gu Xing tried asking tentatively:
"Magma Clan Leader, if I let you absorb all the Ultimate Fire you want here…"
He deliberately drew out the words, "Would you consider living somewhere else?"
"Li… live somewhere else?"
The Magma Clan Leader's flames flickered, clearly struggling to comprehend the proposal.
After half a minute, his face made of fire suddenly brightened:
"Absorb flame! Human, as long as you let us devour flames, we'll go with you!"
The little flame folk behind the leader kept bouncing in place, clearly all for the idea.
Hearing the clan leader agree, Gu Xing smiled at the corner of his mouth.
This was going even smoother than he'd hoped.
"Then it's settled! Wait here for me!"
"Liu Li, let's go."
Liu Li's wings opened, and in the blink of an eye, she whisked Gu Xing off into the scorching waves of heat.
The Magma Clan left behind began to get restless, their fiery bodies constantly shifting shapes.
"Chief… can that human really beat that six-winged monster?"
"Are we really supposed to follow that human?"
The Magma Clan Leader stared in the direction Gu Xing left, his flames trembling gently.
After a long pause, he issued an order that rippled among the clan:
"Wherever there is flame, that's where the Magma Clan will be."
Meanwhile—
The deeper they went into the Fire Domain, the wilder the heat wave in the air became.
Maybe it was because of being contracted with Liu Li, even though the temperature was high…
But he realized he felt totally comfortable.
As for Liu Li, it was as if she had returned to her comfort zone. She unconsciously spread her wings, greedily absorbing the fire elements around them.
Suddenly, Liu Li paused mid-air.
About a hundred meters ahead, the flames had shifted from scarlet to a profound, dark golden hue— and at the center of that boiling sea of fire…
A charred, blackened figure kneeled on one knee.
"Master, you should stay here!"
Liu Li gently set Gu Xing down, her eyes locked onto that charred silhouette.
The blackened figure seemed to sense something, and slowly turned around.
When she saw who it was, the black silhouette trembled violently:
"Liu Li?!"
Miffy's pupils contracted sharply, her gaze sweeping over Gu Xing and the six wings behind Liu Li.
Contracted human… Myth Level…
A flash of seriousness appeared in Miffy's eyes.
Even though she looked down on the Human Race, after forging a contract, the Guardian Beast's strength really did rise a notch thanks to human Talents.
And more than that, Liu Li was—
A Six-winged Blazing Angel!
But, seeing the fifth and sixth pair of wings slowly unfolding behind herself—
The gravity faded from her eyes.
Both being at Myth Level, she definitely wouldn't be any weaker than a Blazing Angel!
"Liu Li, you're too late!"
Miffy grinned viciously, spreading out the six wings behind her with a roar.
A wild aura erupted!
