Quan Yi gathered everyone together.
"For this hunting mission, I want Huo Wu to face this Undead Phoenix alone."
"No way! It's too dangerous!"
As soon as Quan Yi finished speaking, Quan Li refused his suggestion in an extremely serious tone.
Quan Li, his smile gone, exuded an imposing aura.
However, Quan Yi withstood this pressure, standing firmly in front of Quan Li. His eyes did not waver, but instead, calmly met Quan Li's gaze.
The confrontation between the two caused the atmosphere to drop to freezing point.
Seeing this scene, Huo Wu felt both regret and gratitude.
Quan Yi's actions clearly meant he was taking all the blame upon himself.
Huo Wu immediately wanted to explain, but saw Quan Yi stop her with a look.
Then, Quan Yi said, "I know Grandpa is worried about Xiao Wu's safety, but, on this point, I'm even more worried than Grandpa.
Secondly, I have a good understanding of Xiao Wu's strength, and I know she has the ability to hunt the Undead Phoenix.
Finally, although it's said that Huo Wu will face it alone, it doesn't mean we can't help Xiao Wu.
I have corresponding countermeasures."
Quan Yi withstood Quan Li's pressure and argued earnestly.
Although Quan Li was still dissatisfied with this, he could see that it was actually Huo Wu's own wish.
At this, Quan Li felt both annoyed and amused.
If it were a normal Soul Beast, he would never refute like this; on the contrary, he would actively support it.
Personally hunting the Soul Beast needed for a Soul Ring is a trial and a form of training.
Knowledgeable Soul Masters would not object, but if the difference in strength is too great, it's not training, but suicide.
Quan Li didn't know much about Huo Wu, so, subconsciously, he saw Huo Wu as someone who needed protection.
However, Quan Yi's explanation made him realize this.
At this moment, Yun Qiong interjected from the side, "Alright, Xiao Yi isn't reckless. Why don't we listen to Quan Yi's suggestion first, and then decide whether to agree or not?"
Quan Li sighed helplessly, and the imposing aura he had gathered dissipated with the wind.
"Speak."
Quan Yi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he began to explain his thoughts.
"The most troublesome part of this target is that it's a flying type Soul Beast.
Its speed is astonishing, and Huo Wu has no chance of winning in an open field.
Moreover, according to my observation, this Undead Phoenix's spiritual power level has reached the hundred thousand year level, so Xiao Wu's Peach Illusion Fire cannot have an absolute effect on it.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to choose a suitable battlefield for Huo Wu.
And the battlefield I've chosen is there."
As he spoke, Quan Yi pointed his finger towards the direction of the Volcano Crater.
The Volcano Crater had a bowl-like shape that caved downwards. Among all the open terrains, it was indeed the narrowest place.
However, at the same time, it was also a place where endless magma churned.
The steep mountain walls offered no flat foothold.
Not only that, but the magma-filled environment could greatly enhance the Undead Phoenix's strength.
Therefore, everyone subconsciously regarded the Volcano Crater as a place to stay away from.
"This"
Quan Li looked at the Volcano Crater with a grim expression, and just as a torrent of words was about to pour out.
A thought flashed through Quan Li's mind.
This made him swallow back the words that had reached his lips.
"Are you sure?" Quan Li looked at Quan Yi meaningfully.
Quan Yi nodded confidently.
Then, he revealed his plan in its entirety.
After listening to Quan Yi's plan, a smile bloomed on Quan Li's face again.
"Since that's possible, Xiao Yi, let's proceed according to your plan."
After listening to Quan Yi's detailed plan, everyone, including Quan Li, was filled with confidence.
Especially Huo Wu, who had been prepared for a fierce battle with the Undead Phoenix, but now, it seemed there was no need for that.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's prepare. We must be ready before the Undead Phoenix returns from its hunt."
Immediately, Quan Yi steered the Scarlet Dragon towards the Volcano Crater.
...
On the other side, the Undead Phoenix had already flown away from the islands and arrived at the vast sea.
On the dark sea, a fiery red flash sped past.
The phoenix's flame was noble and magnificent, and even as an undead, it perfectly inherited this.
The Undead Phoenix's flying movements were different from other birds.
When it flew, it rarely flapped its wings, mostly maintaining the same posture.
This was because its wings had no feathers.
It could only fly nimbly by ejecting flames and adjusting the direction of its bone wings.
Because it reduced unnecessary movements during flight and had no burden of flesh and blood, the Undead Phoenix's flying speed was actually faster than it was when it was alive.
After flying hundreds of miles in the high sky, it adjusted the direction of its bone wings and plunged towards the surface of the sea.
However, as the altitude decreased, the firelight on its body continued to weaken.
The firelight penetrated the surface of the water and shone into the bottom of the sea. This peculiar firelight, mixed with mental fluctuations, caused the fish in the seabed to swim frantically towards the surface.
The Undead Phoenix hovered on the surface of the sea, but it was like a large lamp, attracting sea fish to approach it.
However, before the sea fish could surface, they suddenly stopped moving and floated directly on the surface.
In the area illuminated by the firelight, patches of sea fish floated on the surface, emitting a strong fishy smell.
These sea fish were already dead.
And from the corpses of the sea fish, specks of red light emerged.
A loud phoenix cry rang out, and countless red lights were absorbed by it.
These red lights were the flames of spirit ignited by the Undead Phoenix. That's right, the Undead Phoenix's flames could burn the spiritual power and soul power of living beings.
After igniting the souls of living beings, it absorbed them into its body, allowing it to draw flame power and spiritual power from them.
This was the Undead Phoenix's special feeding method.
Under the illumination of the firelight, countless sea fish rushed towards the noble and sacred phoenix flames one after another.
In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of thousands of sea fish lost their lives.
The sea area where the Undead Phoenix was located had completely lost the aura of life.
The Undead Phoenix, having had its fill, directly discarded the countless corpses of sea fish and flew into the high sky.
...
Several hours passed, and the corpses of the sea fish drifted with the wind and currents, attracting the attention of countless carnivores.
Among them, there were many large Soul Beast groups of fish, with hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Beasts everywhere, and even ten-thousand-year-level Soul Beasts were not uncommon.
They were attracted by the fishy smell and poured into the dead fish swarm, frantically fighting for food.
When the number of Soul Beasts approached five thousand, a noble firelight descended from the sky.
Accompanied by the phoenix's loud cry, a scorching pillar of fire shot straight into the sea surface and spread around.
The noble phoenix flame was not for appreciation; at this moment, it showed its terrifying side.
The flames spread rapidly, and countless Sea Soul Beasts let out piercing screams the moment they touched the flames.
Once touched, this kind of flame would not only cause physical burns, but also directly damage the spirit.
