Chapter 93: Flame Beast Forest

  In Xiao Wu's perception, Hu Gao rushed in the direction where the warriors gathered.

  "There are really many people!"

  Hú Gāo stood atop a mountain peak, gazing out at the sea of people below, marveling in wonder. There were at least two to three thousand people gathered here, and even the weakest among them had reached the Seventh Stage of the Condensing Shadow Realm.

  In front of these people, there was a vast expanse of dense forest, the forest covering an extremely wide area, with no end in sight. Above, it seemed as if flames resembling ferocious beasts were gathering, roaring and howling towards the ground below.

  At the end of the dense forest, a lone peak can be faintly seen, with a delicate shadow, yet towering like a spring bamboo shoot, it must be the destination Huo Zhi Peak.

  "It seems that the Fire Beast King in the Fire Beast Forest has not left yet, and no one dares to enter the Fire Beast Forest." Hu Gao looked towards the Fire Beast Forest, muttering to himself.

  The Fire Beast King in the Fire Beast Forest is not weak, all of them are equivalent to second-order demon beasts. One or two may not be feared, but when the number increases, even if there are tens of thousands of human warriors, they do not dare to enter easily. Moreover, the fire cloud envelops everything, and even Xiao Wu's perception is disturbed, making it somewhat vague, only faintly sensing some ordinary demon beasts, without detecting any Fire Beast Kings.

  As for the human side, there are not a few martial artists who have reached the Unity Realm, and the highest ones have even reached the third stage of the Unity Realm. However, for those martial artists with hidden strength methods or treasures, even Xiao Wu cannot detect them.

  After roughly understanding the situation, Xiao Wu quickly brought Hu Gao to find Yun Feng and Han Chong's location.

  "Are the Hu brothers coming?"

  Yun Feng and Han Chong saw Hu Gao approaching, both with a look of joy on their faces, but immediately furrowed their brows. They clearly remembered that Hu Gao had been seriously injured before, and it would take at least two or three months to fully recover. But now, only three days had passed, and he didn't look like someone who was injured, neither in terms of his complexion nor his spirit.

  "Hu Gao brothers, how's your injury?"

  The two of them quickly stepped forward, their faces full of surprise.

  "Injuries? Haha, I've fully recovered now. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. By the way, where's your guard?" Hu Gao smiled and said.

  "Now Flame Valley is getting more and more dangerous, I let my elder brother go back, Yun Feng also let his four guards leave." Han Chong said with a thick tone of doubt in his eyes.

  Hu Gao naturally noticed the change in their expressions, but he didn't plan on explaining either. He chuckled and swept his gaze over the two of them, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. "I was wondering how you two could be so bold and carefree. It turns out that both of you have broken through to the Unity Realm! How about we exchange blows again?"

  "Haha, no need to spar anymore. For the past three days, we've been sparring non-stop and were almost exhausted. Fortunately, in the end, both of us found a breakthrough opportunity and broke through to the Unity Realm's first layer."

  Yun Feng patted Hu Gao's shoulder, also believing that his injuries were recovering, and laughed very loudly. "Brother Hu Gao, you must work hard to cultivate too, don't let the two of us be left far behind."

  "Yes, for these three days, we have been honing our skills day and night, each time engaging in a fierce battle of over 300 rounds. Finally, we broke through the last barrier, opened up the aperture, and stepped onto the path of solidifying our cultivation." Han Chong said with a smile, if it weren't for Yun Feng being such a strong opponent and practicing with him, he wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly even with all his resources.

  "Day and night, sharpening? Every time, a fierce battle of three hundred rounds?"

  Hu Gao's expression was extremely strange, wanting to laugh but holding back, his mouth twitched several times, fantasizing about one evil scene after another in his mind, finally unable to hold back and loudly praising: "Good, great breakthrough, the power of a base friend is indeed strong."

  "What's a base friend?" Yun Feng and Han Chong obviously didn't react, but seeing Hu Gao's expression, they had a bad feeling in their hearts, knowing it wouldn't be good.

  "Do you really want to know?"

  Seeing the evil and lustful smile on Hu Gao's mouth, Yun Feng and Han Chong's faces were very unsightly, they were so angry that they wanted to rush up and beat Hu Gao up.

  "Of course we're good friends, what were you thinking?"

  Yun Feng and Han Chong both rolled their eyes, not expecting to be fooled by Hu Gao, but they didn't get angry. This kind of joke actually brought their relationship closer together.

  "Hu Gao, your cultivation should have also made a breakthrough, I feel that you are stronger than before."

  Yun Feng looked at Hu Gao with a surprised expression and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that not only would you recover from such severe injuries in just three days, but your cultivation has also made new progress." Han Chong on the side was also amazed.

  Although they broke through to the level of Tongti, Hu Gao gave them a feeling that he was even stronger than them.

  You should know, they are not ordinary early-stage warriors who have just entered the Unity Realm. Both of them are the top geniuses in Longhua Country, and although they have only recently broken through to the first stage of the Unity Realm, their combat strength is absolutely not weaker than that of a late-stage warrior.

  "I just got lucky, and my cultivation hasn't improved that much either. Sigh, I don't know how long it'll take to catch up with you guys."

  Hu Gao shook his head, he thought that if he practiced normally, it would probably take a month to break through to the state of Tongti, which was really too long for him. He didn't like the style of just closing up and practicing either.

  "Hu Ge brothers, come on! I believe it won't take more than a year for you to catch up with us two."

  Han Chong smiled and said that he did not feel the fluctuation of yuan force in Hu Gao's body, thinking that Hu Gao had just broken through to the eighth rank of the Condensation Shadow Realm, and it would take at least a year to break through to the Unity Realm.

  "Break through to the state of total understanding in just one year?"

  Yun Feng's mind was shocked, breaking through from the eighth stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm to the Whole Body Realm in just one year was truly too fast. He had spent three whole years to break through initially, but thinking about Hu Gao's terrifying talent and ability to create miracles, he fell silent. Han Chong also didn't speak again.

  "One year?"

  Hu Gao rubbed his nose and didn't answer, instead asking: "Do you know when the Fire Beast King in the Fire Beast Forest will leave?"

  When Hu Gao asked this question, Yun Feng and Han Chong couldn't help but look up at the fiery red clouds in the sky. At this moment, these clouds were slowly dissipating. Yun Feng said: "The clouds are starting to disperse, indicating that the Fire Beast King has begun to leave the Fire Beast Forest and head to the depths of the Dragon Armor Mountain Range to search for other fire-attribute treasures. I believe that in at most an hour, the Fire Beast King will have left by about 80% or 90%."

  "Eighty-nine percent? Didn't they all leave?"

  Hu Gao exclaimed in surprise, thinking that the Fire Beast King would have left the Fire Beast Forest entirely. "Since there is still a Fire Beast King in the Fire Beast Forest, how dare these Condensed Shadow Realm warriors enter?"

  After asking this question, Hu Gao felt a bit silly.

  Humans die for wealth, birds perish for food; these warriors of the Shadow Realm would have their fate rewritten if they were to obtain a Black Fire Lotus.

  In this way, even if there is a great danger in the Huoshou Forest, countless warriors of the Jingyuan Realm will rush in, risking their lives to find a chance to change their fate.

  Seeing Hu Gao's expression, both of them knew that Hu Gao had understood, and didn't say much. Yun Feng directly said: "Brother Hu Gao, after we enter the Fire Beast Forest later, the three of us must form a small team. I've already found out that many Tong Ti realm warriors have also pulled in people with similar strength to form teams. If we're short on people, we might be at a disadvantage."

  "Have they even formed small teams already?"

  Hu's eyebrows furrowed, if it were one or two cultivators of the Unity Realm, the three of them could still handle it, but once the number increased, he would have to play his trump card, which would be a bit troublesome. It seems that this trip to the Fire Beast Forest won't be so easy after all, but only then will it be fun.

  At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly sent a message to him, which made Hu Gao's heart move involuntarily.

  "It seems that Zhou Longqi's identity is indeed extraordinary, and in the Zhou family, he is not an ordinary direct descendant. There are actually five full-body boundary warriors with him. However, on the side of Zhou Ying, there are actually more than a dozen full-body boundary warriors forming a team. To be precise, they actually brought more than a dozen full-body boundary guards."

  A large family is indeed a large family. Sending some low-level cultivators who have just entered the Unity stage might be to keep a low profile, otherwise there might be even stronger masters serving as bodyguards.

  He didn't bother to take care of the family's affairs, although Zhou Longqi was more pleasing to the eye, but the latter had too many troubles, and Hu Gao was a person who disliked trouble and liked to be free, so he didn't plan to invite him to act together.

  "This time in Huo Shou Lin, I don't know how many treasures I will get. And what's inside the Fire Ignition Peak?"

  Hu looked up at the fiery red clouds in the sky with great anticipation.

  "Do you know the situation of Huo Zhi Peak?" After hesitating for a moment, Hu Gao still asked Yun Han and the other two. Since they had decided to act together, he should also let them know his destination. Moreover, understanding more things would make him not as clueless as before. That fat-headed guy gave him a map, but made it mysterious about what exactly they were looking for.

  "Huaguo Peak? Brother Huaguo, you want to go to Huaguo Peak?" Yunfeng was the first to be surprised.

  "Yes, I entered the Longjiashan mountain range with the destination of Huozuofeng. Someone asked me to find something, but didn't say what specifically, so I'm asking you guys for a lead." Hu Gaoren told them honestly.

  "This I'm not clear about." Yun Feng shook his head and said, "This time I came to Huoyan Valley, mainly for the Black Fire Lotus, as well as the Black Fire Peony. As for the situation with Huo Zhan Peak, I don't understand it."

  "I've heard a bit about it." Han Chong thought for a moment before responding. After all, he had a different status in the Han family and knew more than others.

  Before I entered the Dragon Scales Mountains, the elder of my clan told me that I could go and explore Huo Suo Peak first. After a period of time, I would also have to make a trip there. It seemed that at that time, Huo Suo Peak would produce some kind of treasure, but I didn't understand the specifics either.

  "Really?" Hu Gao muttered to himself, what kind of medicine was this fat-headed gourd selling? He suddenly missed that old man with the pipe, this mysterious old man seemed to know a lot of things, maybe he could ask him. Unfortunately, Xiao Wu did not sense the old man in the crowd.

  "When the time comes, we'll go with you and take a look, two more people, a bit more insurance." Yunfeng said.

  "Yeah, anyway, people at home also told me to go, and there's someone to take care of you." Han Chong nodded.

  "Hmm!" Hu Gao nodded in gratitude, his mind somewhat heavy. The fat boss was the most terrifying person he had ever seen so far. Fire Spark Peak must not be an ordinary existence. Having two brothers to accompany him would make things easier.

  For a moment, all three of them fell silent.
