Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1613 - 371: Battling the Giant Beast, Acquiring the Fire Essence (Part 3)

"Yes, yes, that's the kind of guy he is. Back when we first encountered him, I figured he was worthless, but now... it's just infuriatingly impressive."

"Infuriating, absolutely infuriating..."

The burly fellows from the Giant Wood Flag perfectly embodied their nature: brawny bodies, straightforward thoughts, yet brimming with heartfelt passion. Right now, Chen Jiusi’s bold deeds had them shedding tears in感動.

Snot and tears streaming down.

Han Ling’er steeled herself and declared, "Okay, Caidie’s spot on. Zhao Fu gave his life to rescue us; we can’t allow his sacrifice to go to waste. Let’s channel our sorrow into power. The only way to pay tribute to Zhao Fu’s soul is by locating the Qiankun Great Method and aiding the Ming King in elevating the Holy Sect."

Displaying her commanding presence, Han Ling’er seized the chance to connect Chen Jie’s situation with assisting the Ming King in obtaining the Qiankun Great Method.

Sure enough, the sturdy men perked up once more.

The guard Commander bellowed, "Right, brothers, the Saintess speaks true. Brother Zhao Fu’s death must not be meaningless. Everyone, clear the path! We’ll secure the Qiankun Great Method and return it to console Zhao Fu’s spirit. Move out!"

Saying so, the guard Commander spearheaded the team into probing deeper sections of the Ruins.

Observing the Commander buzzing like he’d popped some pills, Liu Caidie remarked, "Ling’er, didn’t I mention Zhao Fu could still be alive? Why’s everyone converting mourning into motivation?"

Hearing those words, Han Ling’er gently brushed off a tear and replied, "Caidie, I get it’s tough for you to face the truth, but the departed can’t return. Hold back your sorrow, please."

Liu Caidie was about to counter, yet Han Ling’er had already trailed after the Commander and the rest. As she watched their fired-up march, transforming loss into drive, Liu Caidie caught the fierce clash noises from the Molten Lava Cave. Moments later, she let out a sigh: "Chen Jiusi, you better be safe."

Then, she hurried to catch up with the leading pack.

Deep in the Molten Lava Hell, Chen Jiusi mopped the sweat beading on his forehead, gasping heavily from utter weariness.

The Fire Essence Beast trailing him was equally drained; pursuing these bipedal scorpions proved exhaustingly tough. Exhausted to the core, the Fire Essence Beast nearly quit and readied to depart.

Right at that instant, Chen Jiusi spun around abruptly, hoisted his spear high, and thrust it mercilessly into the Fire Essence Beast’s rear.

Oww...

Pain surged through the Fire Essence Beast as it whirled furiously, lunging once more at Chen Jiusi with snapping jaws.

Spotting this, Chen Jie’s lips curved into a sly grin.

He resumed dodging around the Fire Essence Beast; one more circuit later, the creature snapped entirely, opting to flee rather than tolerate the pesky two-legged scorpions any longer.

Explanation for the two-legged scorpion label: amid these surroundings, it solely identifies scorpions.

The Fire Essence Beast shook its frame, poised to slip into the lava for slumber, yet Chen Jie denied it respite. Charging forth anew, Chen Jie hurled his spear straight at the Fire Essence Beast’s backside once more.

Oww...

Thoroughly provoked by the impalement, the Fire Essence Beast pursued Chen Jie for yet another partial loop.

Exhaustion overwhelmed it this round, its actions noticeably sluggish.

Fatigue gripped Chen Jie too. Glancing back at the Fire Essence Beast, his gaze sparked upon noticing the creature teetering on collapse, slumped in place.

At that sight, Chen Jie’s eyes gleamed sharper; the instant the beast pivoted to escape, he struck anew, his spear slamming into its hind end squarely.

A wail of torment erupted from the Fire Essence Beast, and Chen Jie sensed a twinge of ruthlessness—its rear now punctured full of wounds.

After this latest jab, the beast reached its limit, resolving to disregard everything and plunge into the lava, vowing never to resurface.

Deep loathing filled the Fire Essence Beast toward Chen Jiusi, though powerless to act.

Much akin to an African buffalo hounded by hyenas—endlessly nipping at the tail, striking unexpectedly from behind, a nightmare to fend off.

The Fire Essence Beast now fully grasped that buffalo’s plight—utterly maddening.

Ignore him, and he jabs you.

Chase him, and he flees too fast to seize, pure aggravation.

This time, the Fire Essence Beast wheeled to confront Chen Jie, anticipating a standard rebuff before dismissing him, diving into the lava for recovery, eager to end the tussle with this bipedal pest.

Swiveling leisurely, it tossed a half-hearted chomp at Chen Jie per routine, expecting him to dodge and wrap things up.

But reality offers no such mercy; just as its bite lazily descended.

Abruptly, thunderous dragon roars resounded across the cavern.

Oww oww oww...

Hmm?

Stunned in disbelief, the Fire Essence Beast froze—what’s going on? Seizing the opening, Chen Jiusi unleashed: "Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

Precisely, Chen Jie had bided for this precise instant.

[Flying Dragon in the Sky!]

Chen Jie abruptly executed the Flying Dragon in the Sky technique, channeling Cross Training Kung Fu to power the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, dragon cries booming overhead while potent cross-training energy churned the lava beneath his soles.

In that instant, Chen Jie vaulted skyward, erupting with Half-step Dragon Realm might.
