Chapter 60 Fierce Battle, Phoenix Blood Vermilion Fruit Acquired
Chu Han aimed at a Fifth-tier Zhu Ha and fired.
The white laser instantly shot right through the Vermilion Toad, and its corpse sank beneath the magma.
"Ssh!"
With another shot, a nearby Fifth-tier Vermilion Toad was also killed.
Within a mere half-second, Chu Han took down two of them with his fast and accurate laser gun.
"This is a laser weapon! How did you get it?"
Luo Yue, being well-informed, recognized the laser gun in Chu Han's hand at a glance.
"I picked it up," Chu Han explained while taking out a lower-grade energy stone to recharge the laser gun.
"As if I'd believe that." Luo Yue's expression turned cold, and she stopped asking.
At that moment, the magma lake began to boil.
Immediately after, a world-shaking roar rang out, carrying a hint of shrillness.
A massive toad, shaped like a giant millstone, emerged from the magma; it was the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad.
It let out roars toward Chu Han and Luo Yue.
A large group of Vermilion Toads of various sizes appeared one after another in the surrounding magma, numbering thirty or forty.
Chu Han counted them: there were four more at the fifth tier, thirteen at the fourth tier, and twenty-two at the third tier.
"Looks like we've poked a toad's nest."
In the next instant, these Vermilion Toads simultaneously spat red saliva at the two of them.
Surging flames immediately erupted around Luo Yue, blocking the saliva.
Chu Han, meanwhile, relied on his flexible movement technique to dodge, successfully evading all the attacks.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Luo Yue's eyes when she saw Chu Han's movement technique.
She hadn't expected someone to train the Basic Movement Technique to such a Realm; even she couldn't compare.
She suddenly realized that Chu Han seemed to be hiding many secrets, and she couldn't help but become even more curious about him.
"Ang!"
At this point, the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad roared again.
The magma in the entire lake rose like a tsunami and flooded onto the ground.
Soon, the entire space turned into a sea of magma and fire.
There was immediately no place to stand on the ground.
Luo Yue was enveloped in flames and remained completely unaffected while stepping on the magma.
Chu Han activated his Lava Crystal Armor, relying on its defense to withstand the high temperature of the magma.
Seeing its attack had no effect, the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad immediately jumped out of the magma and pounced toward the two.
Behind it, the other lower-tier Vermilion Toads also launched their attacks, striking like clusters of red fireballs.
Both Chu Han and Luo Yue flickered away, dodging the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's pounce.
However, the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad suddenly opened its mouth, and its long tongue shot out, instantly piercing through the air barrier and reaching Chu Han.
Chu Han swung his blade to slash it, but he didn't expect the toad's tongue to be incredibly tough; he couldn't cut it through with one strike!
"Watch out! Don't let its tongue wrap around you!"
On the other side, Luo Yue was simultaneously attacked by four Fifth-tier Vermilion Toads and couldn't break away, so she could only warn Chu Han verbally.
But it was too late; Chu Han felt a powerful pressure all over his body as the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's massive tongue instantly coiled around him.
The tongue tightened continuously, squeezing his bones and armor; the immense constricting force caused his armor to emit "crackling" sounds.
"Such incredible strength, as expected of a sixth-tier Beasts," Chu Han exclaimed in amazement.
In the next moment, his body was hoisted into the air by the toad's tongue, and he was about to be swallowed.
Seeing this, Chu Han immediately erupted with all his strength.
The blood in his body boiled, his muscles bulged, and with a sudden surge of power from his arms, he violently forced open the tongue wrapped around him.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a momentary gap appeared around Chu Han.
Seizing the opportunity, he quickly broke free, darted out from the tongue's encirclement, and landed right on the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's body.
He immediately unleashed "Flame Burst Fist" onto the toad's head.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion, accompanied by a violent blast of flames, instantly engulfed the toad in a sea of fire.
But as Chu Han expected, the Flame Burst Fist hitting the toad caused limited damage.
This was because the opponent was also a fire attribute Beasts and had immunity to the fire attribute.
"Then try this move! Explosive Fist!"
Chu Han's Explosive Fist followed immediately after the Flame Burst Fist; this time it wasn't a fire attack, but pure, violent power!
The Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's head was smashed into the magma by Chu Han's punch, and it let out a miserable howl, clearly wounded.
In its pain, it whipped its head around, and its tongue instantly turned into a long whip, lashing out fiercely at Chu Han.
Chu Han felt a massive force on his chest; the crystal armor on his chest shattered instantly, and his blood surged.
The power of this lash was actually greater than the constricting force from before.
He stabilized his breath and immediately reached out to grab the opponent's tongue firmly.
"Get up!"
With a sudden pull from both arms, immense power traveled through the tongue to the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's body.
In the next instant, the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's massive body uncontrollably left the magma and flew into the air.
"Luo Yue!"
Chu Han shouted, continuing to exert force with his arms as he swung the airborne Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad toward Luo Yue nearby.
On the other side, Luo Yue had already slain two fifth-tier and three fourth-tier Vermilion Toads.
When she saw Chu Han swinging the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad into the air, she instantly understood his intention.
She immediately used a movement technique to break away from the other Vermilion Toads.
With a flicker, she arrived beneath the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad; at the same time, her aura surged, and red Yuan Power gathered around her into a massive Phoenix phantom.
In the next moment, the Phoenix phantom on Luo Yue's body materialized and turned into endless flames that merged into the longsword in her hand.
"Go!"
The longsword in Luo Yue's hand suddenly flew out, shooting toward the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad in the air like a Phoenix bathed in divine fire.
The Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad let out a roar full of terror as its body was instantly pierced by the longsword, leaving a massive bloody hole in its chest.
"Bang!"
The Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's corpse fell into the magma, its life instantly extinguished.
This sixth-tier Beasts was completely killed under the combined attack of Chu Han and Luo Yue.
"What a powerful attack! Is this an S-rank Martial Skill?" Chu Han watched with envy in his heart.
It had to be said that Luo Yue had far too many good things on her.
"Eh?"
He noticed that after Luo Yue unleashed this move, her aura instantly diminished, and the Yuan Power in her body was heavily consumed, causing her strength to decline.
"It seems this move takes a lot out of her."
At this moment, Luo Yue was once again besieged by the Vermilion Toads.
Seeing this, Chu Han immediately performed the Spirit Cat Steps and rushed forward, his Battle Saber gathering Yuan Power as he slashed down at one of the Fifth-tier Zhu Ha: "Seven Forms of Army Breaking, Fifth Form!"
With the empowerment of Yuan Power, this slash was incredibly powerful, instantly splitting the toad in two.
"Leave the rest to me."
Leaving those words behind, Chu Han's figure flickered as he charged toward another Fifth-tier Vermilion Toad.
He parried its saliva and tongue attack with his blade, and his left hand's Explosive Fist instantly slammed into its belly.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the internal organs of this Fifth-tier Vermilion Toad were pulverized, and it nearly exploded to death.
The remaining fourth and third-tier Vermilion Toads were quickly wiped out under the attacks of Chu Han and Luo Yue.
Suddenly, the entire magma space became deathly quiet, with only the red corpses floating on the magma.
"Whew, it's over."
The two looked at each other excitedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
If they hadn't both been immune to the Vermilion Toad's magma, this battle would never have ended so easily.
Without powerful fire energy like theirs, ordinary Martial Artists would have no choice but to flee when facing the Sixth-tier Vermilion Toad's sea of magma and fire.
This time, they had quite an advantage.
Then, both of their gazes fell upon the two vermilion fruits in the center of the magma lake.
"I'll go pick them."
Luo Yue spoke excitedly and immediately turned into a white shadow, arriving before the Phoenix Blood Grass and reaching out to pick the two phoenix blood vermilion fruits.
After picking them, Luo Yue returned immediately and handed one vermilion fruit to Chu Han.
"This one is for you, as we agreed."
Chu Han excitedly took the phoenix blood vermilion fruit; it felt warm in his hand.
He could feel the immense fire attribute Yuan Power contained within the fruit.
He couldn't help but want to absorb the fruit right then and there.
