Chapter 416: Chapter 412: Entering the Elemental World by Mistake
The Fire Element Realm.
The intense heat of the flames quickly brought Bai Qi back to his senses, interrupting Alpha and the others’ hatching and summoning them directly to his side.
Arwoo! Arwoo!
(This place is scorching! Why are you here in a volcano, human!)
Scarcely did Beta land when the high temperature beneath his feet made him hop up. Bai Qi, too unbothered to explain to Beta, immediately pulled Gamma over himself, transforming it into a protective suit that insulated him from the high external temperature.
Cackle cackle.
(Boss, where are we? Is this some sort of trial?)
Inspecting their location, Alpha took in the sight of a world entirely composed of flames, promtply gripping the Sword of Retributive Karma in his hand.
“This isn’t a trial. If nothing unexpected occurs, this place should be the Fire Element Realm.”
Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He had only been complaining about how troublesome it was to choose outside when the Element Gate directly tossed him in.
Such a considerate door truly gave him a headache.
He took a look around, but couldn’t locate the entrance. Clearly, he was randomly dumped somewhere within the Elemental World.
“Beta, can you try locating the exit?”
Arwoo! Arwoo!
(It’s so hot here, I don’t want to move…)
With an entirely dispirited look, Beta stuck out his tongue, wanting to find a place to lay down but was unable to until Schuck encased him in Etherium Liquid Gold, alleviating the heat somewhat.
“Boss, should I go and reconnoiter?”
Shrouded by Sun Wheel, Bug Grass was rather well adapted to the environment of the Fire Element Realm and took the initiative to volunteer to investigate the situation.
“Don’t wander off yet, who knows what sorts of odd things are out here.”
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, “Let’s have Nicholas try to find the exit… Wait, where is Nicholas?”
Blurb blurb.
(Probably still in the mess hall.)
Bai Qi: “…”
Really, what’s the point of having Nicholas as a bodyguard when he’s nowhere to be found when trouble arises?
“Too bad, if Cowskin Snake were here, we could have it scout ahead.”
Bai Qi sighed, planning to throw Nicholas into his own secret realm next time. If not, hiring a Legendary bodyguard would prove more useful.
Boom!
At that moment, a ball of flame not far from Bai Qi exploded, revealing an infant-sized fire elemental creature.
Unlike the peculiar pets of the outside world, the strength of elemental creatures was judged crudely by two words.
Size.
Elemental creatures, being energy bodies, grew larger the stronger they were. Conversely, the weaker they were, the smaller they became.
Like the tiny flame in front of Bai Qi, which was barely newborn, there was virtually no hunting value.
“Well, since we’re here, might as well take a good look around.”
Bai Qi stretched languidly. After ensuring his Gamma suit was functioning properly, he hopped onto Delta and picked an arbitrary direction, thus commencing his exploration of the Fire Element Realm.
…
Six Tower.
“Alright, I got it.”
Zhao Futu’s expression was somber as he slowly put down the phone.
“Chairman, what happened?”
Puzzled, Luo Xiang looked at Zhao Futu and asked.
“Bai Qi accidentally entered the Elemental Realm in Eden, his whereabouts are unknown.”
“He went into the Elemental Realm? That guy really knows how to stir up trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiang couldn’t help but chuckle, saying, “I’m starting to worry for Eden. Right now, the gate to the Elemental Realm is only available there. Let’s hope Bai Qi doesn’t damage it.”
“You really have a lot of faith in Bai Qi.”
Seeing Luo Xiang in such a state, Zhao Futu couldn’t help but feel exasperated, “That place, the Elemental Realm, even a Legend might not be able to make it out safely. Where do you get this confidence from?”
“I’m not confident, I just believe that the Thirteenth Bureau isn’t that stupid,”
Luo Xiang shrugged, “Sure, I don’t like Yi Yu, but his talent really is extraordinary. If Bai Qi were in danger, don’t you think he would react?”
Zhao Futu remained silent for a while before saying, “Yi Yu’s time-based talent is indeed special, but all predictive abilities have a margin of error. Should an accident occur, the loss could be great.”
“Don’t worry Chairman, disasters last a thousand years, but have you ever seen a Breaking the Void talent user die in a secret realm?”
Luo Xiang waved his hand nonchalantly, “Also, you even arranged for that Legendary Giant Dragon to be Bai Qi’s bodyguard, with it there, nothing can go wrong.”
“Before the incident, that Green Dragon was not with Bai Qi.”
Luo Xiang: “…”
Zhao Futu massaged his temples and said, “Master Aleta has already entered the Elemental Realm to search for Bai Qi. We can’t just sit and do nothing. We might have to bother Old Lady Fan.”
“Cough cough… I truly advise against this, Mr. President. If you let Old Lady Fan and Master Aleta meet, the chances of Bai Qi dying prematurely may increase.”
Luo Xiang shook his head, saying, “Because of the time constraints, I might as well go first.”
Zhao Futu fell silent upon hearing this, then after a long while, he finally spoke, “I guess we have no other choice. However, you just got promoted to Legend status, you should be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten used to it for half a month now, that’s enough.”
Luo Xiang waved to Zhao Futu, the seven Rune Marks on the back of his hand had already intertwined and connected, forming a complex Array.
Legendary Beast Master.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Please inform Bai Chuanqi as well, Mr. President.”
Luo Xiang summoned his North Eagle, and without waiting for Zhao Futu’s response, he immediately flew into the sky.
“These two guys, they’re really cut from the same mold, both love to make things happen.”
Zhao Futu sighed, hesitated for a moment, then finally dialed Bai Heguang’s telephone number.
…
The Fire Element World.
Bai Qi sat leisurely inside the dome formed by Divine Blessing, eating food stored in his sanctuary while watching several pets battle.
The size of the Fire Element World was far beyond Bai Qi’s estimation, and the terrifying heat had directly severed Schuck’s reconnaissance machine. Even Beta’s Insight into Everything couldn’t survey too far a distance.
However, the rich minerals in the Fire Element World greatly satisfied Bai Qi. Whenever he saw high-quality ores, Bai Qi would unhesitatingly mine them.
Since he was already here, he might as well bring back some specialties.
“Beta, haven’t you found an exit yet?”
Bai Qi patted the listless Beta beside him, asking.
Awoo awoo…
(It’s too hot here, I don’t have the energy…)
Beta moved a bit closer to the cooling fan created by Schuck, a flicker of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.Awoo awoo.
(Suddenly, I miss the old days when Stinky Bones had ice-based skills.)
“It’s rare to hear you say something useful.”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly at his words, ever since Alpha’s Withering Power had turned into the Power of Death, Alpha had lost his ice-based abilities.
If he had to say, the Power of Death did bring a cooling effect, but Bai Qi had no intention of chilling out at the moment, so he didn’t touch it.
“Why didn’t it throw me into the Water Element World instead? Or the Wind Element World is fine too.”
Bai Qi once again increased the power of the cooling fan, but it still couldn’t stop the sweat from continually dripping from his body.
“Let’s move, we can’t stay here any longer.”
Bai Qi wiped the sweat from his face and signaled to the pets to move.
Boom!
However, at this moment, the ground under Bai Qi’s feet suddenly exploded. Gamma was quick to react, immediately enveloping Bai Qi, ensuring that Bai Qi was not injured.
Grrr…
(Boss, keep your distance, a big one is coming.)
Alpha instantly appeared in front of Bai Qi, looking at the gigantic fire creature slowly emerging from the earth, a burning desire for battle flamed in his eyes.
What had ambushed Bai Qi and his group from beneath the ground was none other than the Fire Tyrant.
Only, the one Bai Qi had encountered through the Element Gate was still a cub, whereas the one in front of them had clearly been in existence for a very long time.
“Based on initial energy fluctuation estimations, this Fire Tyrant should be at the Six Stage.”
Schuck quickly determined the level of the Fire Tyrant, and without hesitation, mounted the Mechanical Lord, precisely sniping several fire elements that wanted to come out with the Fire Tyrant.
“Beast Master, I suggest you leave immediately. It appears that a large number of fire elements are assembling toward us.”
Bai Qi nodded, the Fire Element World was extremely old, given the high-grade King Fire Tyrant, it would be effortlessly simple to summon some fire element minions.
Roar!
The Fire Tyrant was worth its name. Before completely emerging from the ground, it attacked Bai Qi first. Like a beast, it swiped its claws forcefully, and a massive fireball formed in the air, charging straight at Bai Qi.
Seeing this, Alpha teleported instantly in front of the fireball, gently swung the Sword of Retributive Karma, and directly split the fireball in half.
The Fire Tyrant roared again in fury. It swiped its claws continuously, and a meteor shower of fireballs suddenly formed in the sky, hurtling toward Bai Qi. It felt like a fiery rain was falling in the Fire World.
In the Fire Element World, the Fire Tyrant’s energy was virtually inexhaustible, and the speed at which it used skills was incomparable to anywhere else. Alpha was fast, but he could not break all the fireballs.
Kaboom!
(Gamma, help too!)
Watching the increasingly closer meteor shower, Gamma immediately split out a clone to protect Bai Qi, then fluttered its little wings and flew up. Holy Light and Evil Power flashed on its body as its shape gradually elongated to form a fusion of holy and devil forms.
Subsequently, Gamma split again, one half took the shape of an angel, and the other half took the shape of a demon. Both exerted their respective energy fields and met the rain of fireballs head-on.
Caught in the conflicting energy fields, these fireballs disintegrated instantly, reducing to the most primitive fire energy. Before it could dissipate, it was immediately absorbed by Gamma’s Bloodsucking Aura.
For Gamma, who could absorb all sorts of energy, this Fire Element World was indeed a paradise!
