Chapter 1257: Chapter 1267: Flame Demon Cave! If all these poisonous beasts could be taken under my control, they would undoubtedly be an incredible trump card! No wonder the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers were laughing; at this moment, the caterpillar in the Evil Eye had already been roasted by the Flame, turning into a Corpse Beast, completely controlled by Tang Zhong. In that case, all the Corpse Beasts here were his to command! Soon, countless poisonous beasts emerged around the surrounding cliffs, and it seemed that Shi Tou had no ability to resist against these poisonous beasts. Then, they began attacking the members of the Earth Guard. “Fight back!” someone shouted. Everyone was ready to draw their weapons. Though these poisonous beasts were formidable, there were ways to deal with them, with sulfur being the most effective counter. Someone took out a bottle of sulfur and applied it directly onto their weapon. The poisonous beasts initially charged forward, but after smelling the sulfur, they hesitated, not daring to approach! The brief intimidation didn’t mean these beasts wouldn’t launch an attack, as the group pressed forward! More and more poisonous beasts emerged from the surrounding rocky cliffs, all eyeing the five individuals. “Be careful, stay vigilant! With sulfur, they might not dare to come close!” “You go ahead; I’ll cover you!” Tang Zhong said. “How can that be allowed!” someone immediately retorted. “I am the Commander this time; what I say goes. Move out now; leave everything here to me!” Tang Zhong demanded. The others heard the order and dared not oppose; they had no choice but to leave. They came to participate in the so-called Inner Guard assessment, having done nothing, as if they were on a leisurely walk! Due to this, they had already placed their trust in Tang Zhong! If they stayed behind, it might greatly impede Tang Zhong’s efforts! They quickly moved ahead, disappearing into the mist. The poisonous beasts, after losing the bothersome smell, focused all their attention on Tang Zhong, then rushed at him violently! This suited Tang Zhong perfectly. Seeing the sky filled with poisonous beasts, he directly took out the Evil Eye. This Inner Guard assessment was a walk in the park for him! It seemed that becoming an Inner Guard required more than just strength; the challenges of Weak Fire Bridge and Myriad Poison Valley tested various aspects! At this moment, the Evil Eye was brought out, unleashing a powerful devouring force. The poisonous beasts charged forward, only to be sucked in one after the other, eventually all entering the Evil Eye. The devouring force was powerful, consuming everything like a hurricane, leaving the poisonous beasts with no chance to resist as they were all absorbed. The poisonous beasts, possessing some intelligence, turned to flee upon seeing their companions being sucked in, but due to their small size, they had no means to resist and were all thoroughly absorbed by Tang Zhong. Inside the Evil Eye, they were directly seared by the Evil Fire. The Evil Eye and Tang Zhong were of one mind; once these beasts entered, they were completely controlled by Tang Zhong. The currently emerging poisonous beasts had all been absorbed by Tang Zhong, while those still hiding dared not move a muscle within the rock crevices. Having absorbed enough, Tang Zhong retracted the Evil Eye, having absorbed nearly a thousand poisonous beasts, all crackling under the Evil Fire, transformed anew! Tang Zhong didn’t care about any of this and quickly followed behind the Earth Guard group, keeping a discreet distance to avoid arousing suspicion! The path ahead was clear, with no poisonous beasts daring to emerge. Soon, light appeared ahead, signaling that Tang Zhong was about to exit the valley. “Senior Brother Tang, you’re out! We were so worried about you!” someone shouted. “I’m fine. What about you?” Tang Zhong asked. “We’re all fine too. Strangely, just when we couldn’t hold on, a gust of wind seemed to carry all the poisonous beasts away, and we were saved!” Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong said nothing more: “As long as you’re safe, let’s go!” “Yes, the mountain summit is just ahead!” At this moment, Tang Zhong looked up; the summit was right in front. Looking around, he noticed five cave entrances. They had exited from one of the caves, suggesting it might have been the exit of the previous Myriad Poison Valley, and since their respective Guards had not encountered each other in the valley, it indicated that they had been separated. Most likely, the five caves represented the five Guard Corps! Indeed, at this time, members of the Fire Guard rushed out from a nearby cave, each panting heavily, looking incredibly disheveled—clearly having just experienced a fierce battle! Following closely, the Water Guard rushed out, then the Wood Guard, and finally, from the Gold Guard’s cave, Ren Yong and his group emerged, looking somewhat scruffy, though only with three members! “One of our Fire Guard members was bitten by a poisonous beast; quickly call the Flame Demon Guard!” someone from the Fire Guard shouted. In any place on Flame Demon Mountain, there was always a rescue available, and soon, a Flame Demon Guard appeared to take the injured Fire Guard member away for treatment. Being infected by a poisonous beast wasn’t an hour-long affair! Meanwhile, Tang Zhong looked at Ren Yong ahead, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Ren Yong also cast his gaze on Tang Zhong, then walked over and said, “I thought the Earth Guard would be annihilated, but didn’t expect to encounter you here!” “So, it’s still just the five of you; haven’t you had enough fun at the Weak Fire Bridge?” Ren Yong said disdainfully. The Earth Guard members, upon hearing this, wanted to rush out and fight, but Tang Zhong stopped them. He simply smiled at Ren Yong and said, “Why is your Gold Guard only three persons?” Ren Yong’s face changed slightly—the two he sent to deal with Tang Zhong hadn’t returned: “That’s none of your business! Three of us are enough to deal with you.” Google seaʀᴄh novel·fiɾe·net “It’s none of my business!” Tang Zhong laughed. “I just let them stay at the back; is that not allowed?” Ren Yong said. “Sure it is!” Tang Zhong laughed. “What arrogance for a mere Earth Guard! I initially just wanted to teach you a lesson, thinking you’d retreat in fear. I didn’t expect you to come here. See the Flame Demon Cave at the summit? I’ll be waiting for you there, where I plan to kill you myself!” Ren Yong declared. “Fine!” Tang Zhong exclaimed, “Come and kill me then!” The previous actions of the two Gold Guard members were certainly orchestrated by Ren Yong. If not for Tang Zhong having the protection of the Evil Eye, he would likely be dead. Since the arena inside the Flame Demon Cave allowed for a duel to the death, Ren Yong must die!
