Chapter 312: Chapter 0308: Pitfall ƒ
In the midst of the yellow sand and dust, Chen Yu patted the dust off his body and stood up.
His True Copper Statue had made a breakthrough to minor completion, and with its massive enlargement, his defensive power had reached a terrifying level.
The Fiery Fire Demon Lizard’s tail had only grazed him, and the damage was not as high as he had imagined.
However, had it been an ordinary Early Innate, they would have been dead beyond doubt.
"Chen, are you alright?” Jin Zhuo Peak asked with an urgent expression.
"It’s just a scratch, nothing serious,” Chen Yu replied calmly.
His intuition told him that Jin Zhuo Peak seemed to have intentionally moved closer to him, attempting to use the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard to kill him.
Last time, in the poison mist forest, Jin Zhuo Peak took the initiative to capture the female assassin, leaving Chen Yu with a rather positive impression of this senior brother.
"Kid, this guy obviously wants to harm you,” the Red Flame King transmitted from afar.
Since the battle approached the Guiyuan Realm level, Chen Yu hadn’t allowed the Red Flame King to join the fight, because on the surface the Fire Scale Beast was only Postnatal Peak.
This was still under the circumstance where Chen Yu hadn’t given the Red Flame King any resources for cultivation. If the Red Flame King had plentiful resources, it would likely surpass Chen Yu in no time.
As an observer, the Red Flame King had a more comprehensive view of the situation, coupled with the fact that it was an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years.
With the Red Flame King also saying this, he was certain that Jin Zhuo Peak’s actions were deliberate.
But there was no need to bring this up now, after all, he had no definitive evidence to prove it.
The battle continued, and at this moment Chen Yu became a little more cautious.
"It’s good that you’re fine, let’s continue, and wear the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard down to death,” Jin Zhuo Peak declared seriously, leading the entire group.
"Senior Brother Jin, why don’t we just make a move and kill this fellow?” the long-haired youth transmitted to Jin Zhuo Peak secretly.
"No, this fellow has strong defensive power and his own strength is not weak, and he might have a life-saving trump card given by the vice dean. If we are not careful, we might be the ones to die,” Jin Zhuo Peak immediately denied.
"Heh!” The long-haired youth sneered, thinking Jin Zhuo Peak was too timid.
"Don’t worry, I have promised Luo Haotian, and I will do my best,” Jin Zhuo Peak transmitted again.
In the institute, he had a good relationship with Luo Haotian.
The Luo Family was among the more prominent in the Ancient Clan, while his own Jin Family was only a second-rate family. His family had encountered some troubles recently, and if the Luo Family was willing to help, they could overcome the difficulties.
When he had sought Luo Haotian before, Luo Haotian had tasked him with dealing with a member of the Blood Slaughter Institute.
At that time, Jin Zhuo Peak didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was a trivial matter. But after the news spread that Chen Yu was taken as a disciple by the vice dean, he realized the difficulty of the task.
Although Jin Zhuo Peak said so at this moment, how could he risk his life to do something for Luo Haotian?
If Chen Yu had some sort of trump card, or if the murder of Chen Yu was exposed, he would also be in a life-threatening situation.
"I hope Senior Brother Jin can handle this matter well,” the long-haired youth said with a smile.
"Of course. If this matter isn’t handled well, both of us will be in grave danger,” Jin Zhuo Peak said with a hint of warning.
The long-haired youth was Luo Haotian’s man, who took the initiative to assist him against Chen Yu.
But in Jin Zhuo Peak’s view, this person was sent by Luo Haotian to keep an eye on him.
Jin Zhuo Peak didn’t care about that much, if there wasn’t a full certainty, he would rather fail in this matter.
"Chen, it’s good that you’re safe,” the slender woman said from the other side.
With its massive body and strong defensive power, it was a bit unrealistic for the four of them to join forces to kill the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard. They could only wait for its bloodline to exhaust and fall into weakness, only then was there a possibility of killing it.
If they were one person short, namely without Chen Yu, it would only be more troublesome for the three of them.
The four of them continued to besiege the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard.
The Fiery Fire Demon Lizard was incredibly angry, launching frenzied attacks.
However, Jin Zhuo Peak avoided head-on confrontations, so he handled it quite easily.
Chen Yu, the slender woman, and the long-haired youth were quite a distance from the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard, and as long as it wasn’t attacking any one of them with its full strength, they all had time to react and retreat in time.
"Blood Drawing Skill!” Jin Zhuo Peak waved his other hand and suddenly slapped out a palm.
A red ethereal palm shadow struck out and exploded next to the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard’s right side.
Instantly, the rate of blood loss from the wound on the right side of the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard increased several times.
The Fiery Fire Demon Lizard had extremely strong defensive and recovery abilities, and any non-severe injuries could be healed quickly. But at this moment, Jin Zhuo Peak had executed the “Blood Drawing Skill,” countering the lizard’s ability to recover and forcibly drawing out more blood.
The Fiery Fire Demon Lizard roared in anger, its intelligence was not low, aware that it probably wasn’t a match for these humans.
Patterns on its scales spread out tendrils of crimson flames, forming a flow of fire, converging in the mouth of the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard.
At that moment, within an area tens of yards wide, a wild, fiery aura was released.
"Not good, this beast is going mad!” Jin Zhuo Peak shouted immediately.
Aside from the strongest Jin Zhuo Peak, the other three sensed a strong crisis.
Under the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard’s fury, it was brewing its strongest area attack, powerful enough to kill any ordinary Innate Strong People nearby.
Chen Yu noticed that Jin Zhuo Peak seemed to be getting closer to him again.
During this hunt of the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard, Jin Zhuo Peak was the main force, the one the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard detested and saw as its archenemy.
Therefore, the primary target of the Fiery Fire Demon Lizard’s attacks would definitely be Jin Zhuo Peak.
