137: Setting up the game, Xiong Lu joins

“System, how much longer until she wakes up?”

“Estimated ten minutes!”

After a moment of thought, Lu Ze had Zhele leave a trace of the Ice Dragon Flame's strange fire aura on Xiong Lu, then he walked past Xiong Lu and left.

Returning to the mountain peak entrance, Fu Liang and his group were gathered, looking at the depression between the peaks.

At this moment, much of the magma in the depression had dissipated, leaving only a thin layer, and the Fire Dragon that had been rolling in the magma was also gone.

The ground temperature had also dropped considerably!

“Oh? Young Master Lu, you're back?”

Fu Liang was the first to see Lu Ze and greeted him, “Where did you go? You said you were going to pee, but I looked around several times and couldn't find you.”

Lu Ze's expression didn't change, “After peeing, I suddenly felt like I needed to poop, so I found a more secluded spot to do my business.”

Fu Liang nodded, believing him, and even thought to himself, next time, don't rush to look for Young Master Lu, otherwise, if he saw him pooping, wouldn't both of them be embarrassed?

“What are you all looking at?”

Lu Ze suddenly spoke.

Everyone made a small opening for Lu Ze to walk closer and see.

Seeing everything below, Lu Ze said, “How has the power of this strange fire weakened so much? Did the strange fire go into hiding, or has someone already gotten to it first?”

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

They didn't know much about strange fires, but the appearance of such an anomaly naturally indicated the weakening of the strange fire's power.

This strange fire had been here for so long, even forming such a volcano, so its power wouldn't diminish easily.

That could only mean it had been taken by someone!

Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Ze; he was the only one who had been away for such a long time, and after he left, the strange fire's power began to weaken.

Several people whose cultivation was stronger than Lu Ze's fell into thought; this was a strange fire!

If only they had cultivated a Strange Fire Skill, they could have completely seized the strange fire and cultivated it themselves!

Suddenly!

The Qin Family members exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning!

The Qin Family possessed a Strange Fire Skill!

And one of them remembered the entire content of that Cultivation Technique!

If they were to cultivate it, they could do so immediately!

However, the Family Head had said that they absolutely could not fall out with Lu Ze unless it was absolutely necessary.

So, did this kind of fortune count as absolutely necessary?

The expressions of these people had long been seen by Lu Ze.

He chuckled inwardly; at any time, human greed would outweigh everything.

Especially for these people who were outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile to him. However, he was already prepared.

“Where is Xiong Lu?”

Lu Ze suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

Several people looked around and indeed did not see Xiong Lu's figure!

They seemed to have not noticed where Xiong Lu had gone!

Lu Ze had finished everything he needed to do, so he took out food and water and began to eat and drink.

Xiong Lu was, after all, the granddaughter of the Chief of Shennong City's Demon Subduing Division. She came in with them; if she was alive, they needed to see her, and if she was dead, they needed to see her body. She couldn't just disappear so mysteriously.

Just as they were planning to look for her, they heard a faint sound in the distance.

Everyone looked in that direction, only to see Xiong Lu staggering towards them!

Xiong Lu's clothes were soaked, and some areas had a bit of frost.

Most importantly, almost everyone sensed the strange fire power on her, which was different from her original power!

This strange fire, was it obtained by Xiong Lu?!

Xiong Lu already possessed a strange fire and had a Strange Fire Skill, so it was quite normal for her to subdue this strange fire now.

No one doubted it; they all thought Xiong Lu had obtained the strange fire!

The Qin Family members secretly exchanged glances, each one very hesitant.

The granddaughter of the Chief of Shennong City's Demon Subduing Division, should they try to snatch it?

The strongest cultivator in the Qin Family gently shook his head, signaling the others not to act rashly.

Only then were their intentions completely suppressed!

Song Wushuang was the first to ask, “Xiong Lu, where did you go? Why are you only just coming back now?”

Xiong Lu looked a bit dazed. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly thought of something and forced a smile, saying, “It was too stuffy here, so I went for a walk further away.”

This appearance, in the eyes of others, seemed to be hiding something even more.

But no one said anything.

Lu Ze, seeing that it was about time, then said, “Let's rest and reorganize, then head to our destination for this trip.”

Everyone nodded, then dispersed and rested.

Xiong Lu frowned, found a place to sit, and took out water and food from her Storage Ring.

She could still feel a powerful strange fire power on her, a power that completely surpassed her own Devouring Flame!

However, after she entered that cave, she immediately fainted, not even seeing clearly what was inside.

After she woke up and entered the cave, there was nothing but water and some ice shards inside.

Could it be that after she fainted, this powerful strange fire recognized her as its Master on its own?

Otherwise, why would she have a powerful strange fire aura on her?

But why couldn't she summon this strange fire?

Could it be that this strange fire was dormant within her, and therefore didn't respond to her call?!

Xiong Lu took a bite of bread.

What the reason was, perhaps she could only find out after leaving here, returning to Shennong City, and having her grandfather examine it.

Suppressing her thoughts, Xiong Lu then looked at the others.

She noticed that several people's gazes occasionally fell on her, but when she looked back, they quickly averted their eyes.

Xiong Lu was suddenly startled!

An innocent man is guilty because of his treasure!

These people must have sensed the strange fire aura on her and had thoughts of snatching it!

These people were all much higher in cultivation than her. If one came, Xiong Lu might be able to achieve a mutually destructive outcome, but if they attacked her as a group, Xiong Lu would definitely be finished!

Xiong Lu immediately looked at Lu Ze, who was sitting in the corner chatting with Fu Liang!

Find Lu Ze!

Xiong Lu seemed to have found a Breakthrough.

In this operation, they all took Lu Ze as their leader. As long as Lu Ze protected her, she would certainly be fine!

Xiong Lu stood up, taking swift strides towards Lu Ze.

“Master~”

Xiong Lu smiled, her voice sweet and cloying.

Upon hearing it, Fu Liang shivered.

That voice was simply deadly!

Xiong Lu glanced at Fu Liang, her voice immediately turning cold, “I have something to say to my Master, please leave!”

Fu Liang rolled his eyes, pinched his voice, and impertinently mimicked Xiong Lu's earlier sweet voice, saying, “I have something to say to my~ Master~”

Xiong Lu made to hit him, and Fu Liang immediately took his small stool and jumped over to Qin Wan's side.

Lu Ze still had his eyes closed, resting, his voice flat, “What nonsense, spit it out.”

“Can't you speak more nicely?”

Xiong Lu mumbled, then looked around, lowering her voice, “Can you protect me?”

“Protect you?”

Lu Ze chuckled, “You, Young Miss Xiong, are exceptionally talented, the esteemed granddaughter of the Chief of the Demon Subduing Division, and you possess a strange fire. Do you still need others to protect you?”

Xiong Lu gritted her teeth, “What do you want, you can say it directly, any price is acceptable! As long as you can protect me to leave this place!”

Lu Ze's eyes slowly opened, a sneer in his heart.

Today's situation had finally reached its crucial moment.
