Chapter 29: Flame Dragon Fire Symbol

  After killing three undead, the three of them continued on for another five kilometers, still without seeing a road out of the dense forest. Zhao Xue and Zhao Ba's faces were gloomy, while Guo Fei occasionally checked the growth rings of the withered trees, continuing to rush in one direction.

  "Hsss, hsss, hsss!" A faint rustling sound, ten wolf-like undead creatures silently formed a semi-encirclement and blocked the path in front of the three people, closing in on them.

  "Release the Flame Dragon Seal!" Zhao Ba shouted, while hastily finding a piece of dry wood on the ground as a weapon. The miserable Zhao Ba, his usual axe was also lost with the horse being torn apart by the undead, and he had discarded it. His valuable knight sword was lost at the top of the cliff, and now he actually had to use a piece of dry wood to defend against the enemy.

  Zhao Xue's eyes revealed deep disappointment. A person who can lose their own weapon is no different from going to an exam only to find they didn't bring a pen. It's in difficult and trying circumstances that one's overall quality can be tested, but Zhao Ba was all show and no substance, claiming to be the most cultivated among the young people of Blackstone County - it seems he was just a fake.

  Guo Fei ignored Zhao Ba, his hands wielding the Xuan Tie sword as he moved forward. Any Dead Spirit Wolves that charged towards him were instantly killed, with one death every ten steps, and he didn't forget to pick up the Soul Crystals.

  "Hiss!" The Dead Spirit Wolf found Guo Fei to be a tough opponent, and quietly changed its attack strategy, circling around from the side and pouncing towards Zhao Xue. Guo Fei's figure lightly flickered, his head not turning back, as he swung out with one sword, the blade piercing through Zhao Xue's shoulder and slicing the Dead Spirit Wolf's skull in two.

  "Pick up the Soul Crystal!" Guo Fei shouted back.

  "Never mind, never mind!" Zhao Xue looked around at the wolf pack with a bit of fear and said, she didn't dare to bend down to pick it up, and Zhao Ba was even more afraid, he held onto the dead branch, wishing he could stick closer to Guo Fei.

  "What a pity!" Guo Fei sighed, knowing that in this situation, he was still picking up soul crystals, and it was clear that he wanted money but not his life. He didn't want to lose his life for something external.

  Guo Fei protected the two and charged forward, striking down any undead that got close. These undead were not brainless fools; they no longer charged forward but instead surrounded them with a fierce gaze.

  After a while, the three of them still hadn't found a way out, and by now over a hundred vengeful spirits had gathered. Zhao Ba's lips were trembling with fear; if he didn't know that Guo Fei had an Inflammation Dragon Symbol, he would have probably fainted from fright already.

  Zhao Xue was not much better, closely following Guo Fei, her staff emitting a pale blue glow, which was the yuanqi she had condensed in the cave after recovering from her injuries. At this time, she couldn't care about being gentle anymore and tried to use it to stop the approaching dead spirits.

  With the arrival of a group of tall and powerful undead apes, the undead began to stir and the attack started.

  "Release the Blazing Dragon Seal!" Zhao Ba shouted loudly.

  "Release Flame Dragon Symbol!" Zhao Xue also anxiously shouted.

  "Get closer, get closer, and even closer!" Guo Fei counted silently in his heart, his running speed not decreasing as he charged towards the group of undead in front of him.

  Guo Fei had a number in his heart, and after using the "Fireball Symbol" once, he roughly judged the symbol's power. The Flame Dragon Symbol's might was terrifying, and when he focused his mind, it felt like facing a sea of flames, with a fiery red dragon-shaped beast roaring towards the sky.

  Zhao Xuesheng feared that Guo Fei did not understand the characteristics of the Flame Dragon Symbol, so he explained it clearly to him. For sixth-level or higher talismans, most of them seal "beast spirits" inside. Controlling the beast spirit can control the length of time the talisman attacks. Those without sealed beast spirits are released instantly.

  Yao beasts and Yao tribes also have three souls and seven spirits. They absorb the essence of the sun and moon to evolve, their attack methods are different from those of humans, and the Yao tribe mainly cultivates beastly spirits as a means of driving yuanqi. The "soul" of the Yao tribe is extremely powerful and can easily be cultivated into a tangible form.

  The seven souls are energy fields distributed throughout the human and animal bodies. The Tian Chong soul is located at the crown chakra, the Ling Hui soul at the third eye chakra, the Qi soul at the throat chakra, and the Li soul above the heart chakra, connecting to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The Zhong Shu soul is located at the navel chakra, the Jing soul at the reproductive chakra, and the Ying soul at the root chakra. The Tian Chong and Ling Hui souls are yin and belong to the heavenly soul; the Qi, Li, and Zhong Shu souls are yang and belong to the human soul; the Jing and Ying souls are yang and belong to the earthly soul.

  The demon clan refines the primordial energy of a certain beast, and the beast gradually transforms into a pure primordial energy body. Once the beast's energy drives the primordial energy to attack, the demon beast becomes extremely overbearing. Generally, ordinary demon hunters do not dare to provoke such a demon beast easily.

  The beast soul sealed in the Flame Dragon Symbol should be the force of a fire-attribute Yao Beast, belonging to Yang, condensed from flames and good at controlling fire. Moreover, the beast soul is extremely violent and has very strong attacking power.

  Ten meters

  Five meters

  Zhao Xue and Zhao Ba's minds were both torn apart, they hated that they couldn't grab onto Guo Fei's wrist and snatch the Flame Dragon Symbol away.

  "Almost done!" Guo Fei thought to himself. Guo Fei had his own plan, with such a massive number of vengeful spirits, he must first intimidate them. By unleashing the Flame Dragon Symbol, he would give these vengeful spirits a severe blow, making them not dare to get too close, otherwise they would fearlessly charge forward, and even with the Flame Dragon Symbol, it would be impossible to hold out for long.

  "Out!" When the dead spirit was less than three meters away from the three of them, Guo Fei let out a loud shout, raised his hand, and the Flame Dragon Symbol shot out.

  "Boom!" A three-zhang-long, entirely flame-composed dragon-shaped beast emerged out of thin air. Its body shook, and the surrounding hundreds of vengeful spirits were suddenly enveloped by its scorching flames, wailing as they turned into a heap of ashes.

  "Boom!" Guo Fei felt a vast and powerful airflow rushing into his body, the sword shadow heat flow inside him suddenly becoming even more majestic and pure.

  "Fourth-level Sword Soldier!" Guo Fei was excited.

  Guo Fei discovered that this dragon corpse was not a real dragon, but rather a Jiaolong. It was likely a fire-type Jiaolong before its death, or perhaps it was a demon beast, or had already transformed into a human.

  According to Zhao Xue, the higher and more ferocious a demon beast's bloodline is, the less likely it is to transform into human form. However, such demon beasts should not be underestimated, as they are even more formidable than ordinary low-level demon tribes that can transform. For example, such a Jiaolong (a type of dragon) has stronger attacking power than a fox demon in human form, even if it doesn't transform into human form.

  Guo Fei's mind controlled the fire dragon, rapidly charging forward. The undead who failed to dodge were burned into ashes wherever it passed. After all, these low-level undead didn't have the ability to walk in the sunlit area, how could they withstand this scorching flame?

  However, Yan Long's body gradually dimmed under the harassment of the gray mist. So Guo Fei did not dare to slack off and finding a way out of the dense forest was the best strategy.

  Racing away, after half an hour, the Flame Dragon's body gradually dimmed and shrunk. The dense forest was still as vast as before. The path ahead was still shrouded by withered woods, and it was impossible to see its edges.

  "You've killed us!" Zhao Ba shouted in a rage.

  "Guo Fei, are you leading us down the right path or not!" Zhao Xue also became anxious.

  "Boom!" The air flow between heaven and earth poured into Guo Fei's body.

  "Level 5 Swordsmanship!" After burning several thousand undead along the Flame Dragon Road, Guo Fei leveled up once again.

  However, the more the dead spirits gathered, the more they surrounded the Flame Dragon with a fierce gaze. Guo Fei was also getting anxious, could it be that this world's climate and geography were not like Earth's, had he gotten his directions wrong?

  As they crested a ridge, Guo Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and they finally approached the edge of the dense forest. A thousand meters away, there were no more shadowy trees. Zhao Ba and Zhao Xue also saw it, and the layered sand dunes appeared in the distance under the dark curtain, looking unusually familiar to the three of them.

  The eyes of the two people looking at Guo Fei showed delight.

  The Flame Dragon's body had dimmed and shrunk a lot, but passing through this kilometer dense forest was still more than enough.

  "Boom!" A surge in his mind, as if his spiritual power and will had greatly increased. Guo Fei hesitated for a moment, and suddenly a message flowed into his mind: "Commander 37. The commander's badge has leveled up, bringing the number of troops under his command to a new level. What surprised Guo Fei was that this upgrade not only increased the number of troops he could command, but also slightly enhanced his own spiritual power on top of its original level.

  However, what made Guo Fei puzzled was that in the game, the number of troops was easy to upgrade, but here it was very difficult. However, Guo Fei also found that after upgrading the number of troops, the space of the military emblem increased a bit, and the small grid in the sword hall actually expanded a lot, with signs of developing into a room. The other barracks were also like this, making Guo Fei both astonished and delighted.
