Tang Zhong thought it wouldn’t hurt to follow and take a look, so he immediately followed. Only to find out there were quite a few people heading to Thunderflame Valley. It seems the Thunderflame Stone is quite attractive after all. If one can absorb it, they’d surely take a huge leap forward, so naturally, many want to give it a try. Tang Zhong felt a surge of power, a wave of heat flowing around him. Looking ahead, it was a valley! On the giant mountain to the left, flames were burning, while the right mountain was shrouded in thunder! Below in the valley, countless people were drawn to watch, evidently, this was Thunderflame Valley. Tang Zhong quickly mingled into the crowd. He saw many things resembling crystals in the center of the valley; those things were Thunderflame Stones, which Tang Zhong had devoured before, so he recognized them at a glance. Looking above those crystals again. There were fascinating changes! Flames erupted from the mountain on the left, while thunder crackled and flickered on the right. If the thunder struck the flames, the two would react directly, forming a drop of liquid that fell from the sky onto those crystals, covering them! That must be the process of Thunderflame Stone formation! "This valley’s terrain is indeed superb!" spoke the voice of ten Flame Dragon Soldiers. "What I want to know is how to absorb this Thunderflame Stone without anyone noticing!" said Tang Zhong. "Why do it unnoticed? Just go ahead, play around; you’re masked anyway, who’s going to recognize you? Besides, you’re new here, not many can recognize you by your build. As the old saying goes, as long as you don’t lift your head, you’re surrounded by toilets!" joked the Flame Dragon Soldiers. Tang Zhong was surprisingly at a loss for words; it made so much sense! Wait a bit, absorb the Thunderflame Stone, then leave. Now was clearly not the right moment to enter! "Ah, such precious Thunderflame Stones, too bad I can’t absorb too many!" Someone rushed in, ready to absorb the Thunderflame Stone. It was a bear-headed person, who looked quite tall. Though that’s not the key point, the key point was this person’s strength. To enter the valley, one needed to endure surrounding flames and thunder strikes; the reason common people wouldn’t dare approach was they might get electrocuted without even reaching the Thunderflame Stone! Now that the bear person entered, it seemed he cast some shield, surrounded by a green veil, ignoring flames and thunder, he rushed in. People in the crowd cheered for the bear person. "Brother, go on, devour the Thunderflame Stone, success will be yours soon!" The bear person finally reached the crystal, grabbed a piece of Thunderflame Stone. It started glowing, and he immediately began absorbing it. Once the Thunderflame Stone melted away, the bear person howled in pain, his entire body in agony, ultimately falling to his knees, veins bulging all over. Earlier when the bear person easily reached the Thunderflame Stone, quite a few were eager to try. But witnessing this scene, their expressions turned sour; indeed, absorbing Thunderflame Stone wasn’t easy! Just at that moment, a loud boom occurred, the bear person got blasted away by a formidable force, plowing a gully into the ground. When he stopped, he was grievously burnt, covered in scars, fainted directly. Quite a few people glanced and were terrified, daring not to go; indeed, absorbing Thunderflame Stone was laborious! The bear person’s companions daren’t hesitate either, hurriedly went to apply cell fluid, hoping to save his life. Many eager ones dared not go now. Tang Zhong stood among the crowd, deciding to wait a bit longer to proceed. Previously, he absorbed ten stones, then his human form couldn’t handle it. Later, he used the Giant Dragon Avatar to devour so many stones, though the ground held many, how much his human form could absorb was still uncertain! The situation suddenly plunged into silence. No one was going to absorb the Lei Yan Stone, definitely a problem. "Should we give it a try?" Everyone wanted to try, yet was afraid! Qin Hu was also in the crowd, eyeing the distant Thunderflame Stone with a burning gaze. Truth be told, he feared too, but he had to absorb it because Tiger Demon Elder insisted to cultivate the Five Lightning Steps, absorbing the Thunderflame Stone, even if it’s just one! "I’m going!" Qin Hu stepped forward. The entire Demon Palace, with countless disciples, Qin Hu was initially of average level, but due to supporting the Tiger Demon Elder, he was recognized by many. "It’s Senior Brother Qin Hu!" "He’s stepping forward, heard he’s secretly trained by Tiger Demon Elder, might become the third key disciple under Tiger Demon Elder someday!" Qin Hu heard the surrounding words; the title of the third disciple under Tiger Demon Elder was one he fancied greatly. Tiger Demon Elder originally had two disciples; both were away cultivating, and their strength was formidable. Luckily, they weren’t here; otherwise, it would probably not be his chance. For him, it was a massive opportunity that he must seize tightly! This moment, Qin Hu approached, becoming everyone’s focal point! Tang Zhong also saw Qin Hu, smirking slightly, if this guy went up, so should he, just wait a bit! Qin Hu walked to the junction between thunder and flames, with a wave, a veil covered him, blocking thunder and flames, finally reaching beside the Thunderflame Stone, extending a hand to grab a stone, also started merging. He had never been here before; previously, it was out of fear, but this time, the Tiger Demon Elder instructed him. He must absorb it, so he definitely would. The Thunderflame Stone in Qin Hu’s palm completely turned into liquid, started merging into his body, pain set in. "Guess how many this time Senior Brother Qin can merge!" A few beast-headed men gathered and started discussing. "Afraid two or three, I recall the first disciple Mo Yun of Tiger Demon Elder once absorbed three pieces, the second absorbed two and a half, how could Qin Hu absorb less than two?" Two and a half? Tang Zhong chuckled; even one and a half might cost Qin Hu his life. Tang Zhong checked up on Qin Hu’s body, the opponent was at such level. "One piece!" People watching outside exclaimed. It had been a long time since anyone absorbed one piece. Qin Hu absorbed one piece, feeling exhausted, but wanting to strike while the iron was hot, picked up the second stone, yet reconsidered and placed it down, picked a half piece! Over two, he was really straining. Suddenly with merging, lightning crackled, flames scorched. At that moment, a boom sounded from Thunderflame Valley, blasting Qin Hu out. He was bruised and battered; anyone absorbing Thunderflame Stone faced this same suffering! Companions hurried to spray cell fluid aiding Qin Hu’s recovery. Qin Hu was initially faint, slowly starting to recover. "Senior Brother Qin Hu is truly formidable!" "Indeed, a dark horse this time!" Others couldn’t help but praise. Note, it had been long since someone absorbed a whole Thunderflame Stone! Qin Hu gradually got up and said, "Thank you, fellow junior brothers. One and a half is my limit!" "It’s alright, it’s already great!" said someone nearby. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet "Senior Brother Qin Hu, that Tang Tiansha supposedly cursed Tiger Demon Elder, make sure to thrash that guy!" Qin Hu grinned, "Rest assured everyone, with as much Thunderflame Stone as I’ve absorbed today, I shall display it on the Heavenly Demon Platform soon, and will surely defeat Tang Tiansha!" As soon as he spoke, everyone roared with laughter. This talk reached Tang Zhong’s ears, making him chuckle. Absorbing one and a half stones, being so smug already? Guess it’s time to step up; besides, no one recognizes him, took a step forward.
