Chapter 94 Driving Away Wolves to Devour Tigers
Huang Hong neither agreed nor refused outright, but said, "I can help you, but I need to confirm the strength of the Flame Core Colossus first."
Andy nodded and said, "Of course."
He thought for a moment, then continued, "I've got a plan, let's go."
Huang Hong didn't ask any more questions and followed behind Andy.
This underground world is quite peculiar, with each level seemingly having its own independent ecosystem. For example, the fifth level is centered around a lava rift valley, from which lava rivers extend outward, forming a world of lava.
In this lava world, the Fiery Core Colossus is undoubtedly among the highest-ranking beings, but it has been dormant in the lava rifts for many years, making its presence extremely faint.
Aside from the Flame Core Colossus, the most active monster on this level is the Sulfur Firehawk, a social elemental monster that possesses the essence of conventional life but also exhibits some characteristics of elemental life.
"Rage!~"
A sulfur fire eagle, as tall as a person, swooped down from the sky and attacked the two.
Its claws seemed to emanate sulfur, and any prey touched by these claws would first suffer from burning and corrosion.
The sulfur firehawk likes to throw its prey into lava and then eat it along with the lava.
Of course, this little hobby only applies to adult Brimstone Hawks; young Brimstone Hawks cannot directly eat lava.
Perhaps because the target was already close at hand, Andy no longer concealed his strength. He slid his hands, and huge wind blades flew out, directly severing the wings of the Sulfur Firehawk.
Without its wings, the Brimstone Firehawk cried out in despair and fell to the ground. Andy had already reached its landing spot and, with a swift stroke, severed its head.
After cleanly and efficiently completing the kill, Andy hurriedly said to Huang Hong, "Let's go quickly. The Sulfur Firehawk clan is quite united. This Sulfur Firehawk has already made a cry, and it won't be long before the nearby Sulfur Firehawks arrive."
"Of course, they usually come here not to fight or hunt, but to share the prey. However, once they discover that their kin have died, they will definitely launch a frantic search."
Huang Hong nodded slightly. He went to the corpse of the Sulfur Firehawk, put the body fragments into his spatial capsule, and then quickly left with Andy.
The Omnipotent Ability directly entered the spatial capsule, decomposed the corpse of the Sulfur Firehawk, and obtained 430 points of Source Energy, which is quite good.
The two traveled quickly, mostly avoiding the Brimstone Firehawks they encountered. However, Huang Hong was able to keenly sense that Andy would occasionally deliberately expose an opening to lure the Brimstone Firehawks into attacking, and then turn the tables and kill them.
Huang Hong seemed thoughtful, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he silently followed behind, picking up the corpses.
As more and more sulfur fire hawks died, the entire fifth level gradually descended into chaos.
Flocks of sulfur fire hawks flew through the sky, emitting cries that were sometimes angry and sometimes sad.
How many years! How many years has it been since the Brimstone Firehawk was provoked?!
Even the most reckless adventurers, when entering the fifth level, would be wary of the Sulfur Firehawks' relentless attacks and would therefore avoid a direct confrontation.
But it was precisely because of this that Brimstone Firehawk developed an arrogant and disdainful personality.
While the Brimstone Firehawks were busy searching for the culprit, Andy and Huang Hong had already arrived in front of a huge obsidian pillar.
Andy said, "The plan is simple. We'll climb the stone pillar, kill all the remaining Brimstone Hawks, then pack up all the Brimstone Hawk eggs and take them away. Finally, we'll dump these eggs into the lair of the Fiery Core Colossus."
"These brainless Brimstone Firehawks will definitely go after the Flame Core Colossus."
"Unfortunately, what I'm looking for is in the lair of the Flame Core Colossus. I need to find a way to lure it out, and the farther away the better. Otherwise, I could just incite a war between the Flame Core Colossus and the Sulfur Firehawk, and you wouldn't need to take this risk."
Huang Hong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He had no objection to this simple and straightforward plan, but he still had some questions.
"Brother Andy, there are already epic-level monsters on the fifth floor. If we continue downwards, will the monsters become even stronger?"
Andy smiled and said, "Don't worry, reality isn't a game. It doesn't follow the rules of going from top to bottom and from weak to strong. To be honest, the Flame Core Colossus is just an accidental product, and it's not very common in the entire underground world."
After thinking for a moment, Andy added, "Of course, they are just rare. The further down you go, the more monsters like these will appear. However, these monsters are basically created by environmental factors. They usually stay in fixed areas and don't wander around."
Huang Hong nodded slightly, understanding Andy's meaning.
The two were extremely fast, but when they were halfway up the mountain, they were spotted by sulfur firehawks, and more than a dozen sulfur firehawks attacked them.
Furthermore, their calls travel far and wide, their extraordinary power contained within the sound, causing the calls to travel at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound in the conventional sense.
Immediately, the distant calls of sulfur fire hawks echoed in response.
Andy shouted, "Let's finish this quickly!"
He was surrounded by fierce winds, twisting and turning in mid-air, his agility and burst of speed in a short time even surpassing that of the Sulfur Firehawk.
Huang Hong was not to be outdone. Although he still did not know how to fly, he could easily perform aerial maneuvers by relying on the burst of "qi" and his superb martial arts skills.
And so, the two charged upwards while battling the sulfur fire hawks.
The fierce winds turned into gales and hurricanes, shredding the sulfur fire hawks to pieces; from time to time, a golden tiger phantom would burst out in the air, tearing or biting at the sulfur fire hawks.
During the battle, Huang Hong even had time to collect some of the Sulfur Firehawk corpses, which were all source energy points!
When the two reached the top of the obsidian pillar, a huge sulfur fire hawk blocked their way.
Unfortunately, despite its formidable presence, the giant sulfur fire hawk was annihilated in a single exchange by the combined power of Huang Hong and Andy.
The giant sulfur fire eagle fell, its corpse appearing as if slashed by a sharp blade on one side and torn apart by a ferocious beast on the other.
Above the obsidian pillar was a huge space containing several nests, one of which contained hundreds of sulfur firehawk eggs arranged in a dense array.
Andy said, "Some powerful beast tamers have tried it before. Because these sulfur fire hawks have certain elemental life characteristics, they can inherit some memories innately, making them almost impossible to tame. Therefore, sulfur fire hawk eggs are of very low value."
"How about it? Do you want to keep some and try it out?"
Even a master of beast taming couldn't tame it, so Huang Hong, an amateur, was even less capable. He shook his head and said, "Since it's worthless, then forget it."
Andy nodded slightly, and then the two of them took action, storing 80% of the sulfur fire hawk eggs into their storage space, and ruthlessly destroying the rest.
Leaving none alive was also intended to enrage the Sulphurfirehawks to the greatest extent possible.
