Capítulo 31: Flame Salamander

Seeing that they had no other options at all, the Inferno Swans suddenly released flames that covered their bodies, forming a protective flame barrier around themselves.

These flames were made from the flames of their feathers, which made them stronger than the normal flames that they released since these were flames that contained the essence of their body's flames. At the same time, they burned their life essence to provide these flames with as much energy as possible.

It was just too bad that all of that was useless since there was such a large disparity between Lin Fan and the Inferno Swans when it came to cultivation levels.

The icicles pierced right through the flame barriers around the Inferno Swans without any resistance and pierced through their bodies, not stopping until it flew out the other side.

The Inferno Swans fell to the ground like this with holes in their bodies.

There was one Inferno Swan that had been able to move in time, so it was able to avoid the icicles aimed at it enough that they only grazed it. So while it had been injured, it had only suffered minor injuries and could still run.

But before it could turn to run away, Lin Fan was already in the air swinging his sword at the neck of this Inferno Swan.

The icicle grazing it had been enough to knock it off balance, which forced it closer to the ground. This brought the Inferno Swan to a level that Lin Fan could jump to, so he was able to swing his sword right at its neck.

The last Inferno Swan's eyes were open wide as it watched Lin Fan's sword slash right across its neck. After Lin Fan's sword slash across its neck, the Inferno Swan's vision started to change as everything flipped around.

The last Inferno Swan's field of view continued to spin again and again until it finally saw something in the distance.

It was a swan's body that was still flapping its wings in the sky, but the only thing different about it from a normal swan was…that it was missing its head.

The Inferno Swan then realized what happened.

This was its body and its head had been cut off.

And that was the last thing that it comprehended before it died.

The body only flapped its wings for a few more seconds before the synapses disappeared and it dropped to the ground beside the fallen swan head.

When Lin Fan landed on the ground, he picked up the body and pulled it over to where the rest of the swans had fallen.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan threw the corpses of the six Inferno Swans into the Pet Storage Space since it wasn't a good choice to take care of them here. He would take care of them later when he had more time.

So after that, Lin Fan sent out the Gale Sparrow again.

The Gale Sparrow had only come back because it had been chased by these Inferno Swans, but now that they had been dealt with, it was time for the Gale Sparrow to go back to looking for the Flame Salamander.

Lin Fan on the other hand was looking over the one corpse that he hadn't put into the Pet Storage Space.

He wanted to see the effects of the new skills that he had just used.

These skills weren't his, so he wasn't really sure what the effects were, so seeing it for the first time really was helpful. It allowed him to understand the skills much better than just simply seeing their descriptions.

These skills were the skills that came from the Love Is Sharing skill that he had received from Aphrodite. To be more accurate, these skills were the skills that Lin Fan had borrowed from the Snow Rabbit.

The first attack with the icicles was the Ice Shot skill and the snow that fell afterwards that impaired the movements of the Inferno Swans was the Blizzard skill.

Lin Fan really had to admire the power of these two skills.

The Ice Shot was so powerful that it was able to pierce right through the flame balls and the blizzard was such a large area of effect slow attack.

After checking the corpse of the Inferno Swan to see just how big the holes were and how much frostbite the Inferno Swan had suffered, Lin Fan put it right back into the Pet Storage Space.

It was a good thing that he didn't have to wait long for the Gale Sparrow to return after that and this time, it came back with good news.

The Gale Sparrow had found the Flame Salamander.

It quickly led Lin Fan through the fields of magma pools until they came to a large lake of magma in the middle of all these smaller pools.

This lake of magma was more than ten times bigger than even the largest magma pool and it was so deep that Lin Fan couldn't see the bottom at all.

But this was where the Gale Sparrow said that the Flame Salamander was…

The problem now was how was he going to find it?

However, luckily for him, it wasn't him that found the Flame Salamander, but rather the Flame Salamander that found him.

While Lin Fan was walking around the magma lake looking for a way to search its depths, there was a giant lizard that suddenly crawled out onto the shore in front of him.

Lin Fan noticed it right away and immediately hid in the bushes on the side, watching this giant lizard crawl out of the lake of magma.

Since he moved quickly, the Flame Salamander hadn't seen him. It just crawled out of the magma lake and looked for a place to lounge around on the shore.

However, it was laying there for a different reason compared to normal lizards.

This Flame Salamander was lying on the shore to release heat rather than absorbing heat.

Normal lizards couldn't produce heat since they were cold blooded creatures, but this Flame Salamander was the opposite of this since it generated too much heat with its flame attribute. So when it laid there on the shore, it actually released waves of flames all around it.

These flames didn't reach the bush that Lin Fan was hiding behind, but they did obscure his view of the Flame Salamander. It was just a good thing that it was so big that he was still able to see it over the flames.

He had to admit, this thing was basically a dinosaur that had just crawled onto land, it was so big that it was impossible for him to look at without looking up.

While that was a good thing since this meant that this was a bigger target, the problem was, would he be able to cut all of it?

Not to mention, just from where he was standing, he could tell that this thing's skin was very thick. It would also be a question of if he could even penetrate this giant dinosaur's skin.

Still, he had to fight this thing since it was the mission that he had taken.

Of course, he wasn't going to go in without a plan and he felt much more assured when he saw the cultivation level of the Flame Salamander with his Appraisal Eye.

This Flame Salamander was only in the Second Qi Gathering Level, so at least he had the advantage when it came to the power of his spiritual energy.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan put the finishing touches on his plan and he raised his hand. After raising his hand, he swept it out from left to right in front of him.

When he did, there were small snowflakes that appeared at first around the Flame Salamander. But in just a few seconds, that snowfall suddenly started heavier and heavier until it was a complete blizzard that fell around the Flame Salamander.

The Flame Salamander was surprised to see snow suddenly falling around it. It was even a bit confused as to what this was since this was its first time seeing snow.

It had lived in this hot environment its entire life and it had never once snowed here since it had never been cold enough to snow here. So it was confused about what this white stuff that was falling from the sky was.

However, the Flame Salamander never let down its guard since it could feel as the snow fell onto it, it was inflicting damage to it. It was clear that this wasn't a good thing.

The Flame Salamander just stayed there for a few seconds as it looked around itself, trying to see where this white stuff was coming from. However, after it wasn't able to find the source of this white stuff, the Flame Salamander decided that it wasn't safe for it to stay here any longer.

The best thing that the Flame Salamander could do now was get back in the magma lake. At least in the magma lake, it would have the terrain advantage which would make it easier for it to fight if it came down to it.

So without any hesitation, the Flame Salamander stood up and started walking towards the magma lake.

However, before the Flame Salamander could even reach the magma lake, there was a wall of ice that had suddenly appeared in front of it.

Just like with the snow, the Flame Salamander didn't know what this was since it had never seen ice before. However, it knew that this wall of ice was blocking it from getting into the magma lake.

The Flame Salamander could have gone around the wall of ice, but it didn't know if there was anything waiting for it around the wall of ice, so it didn't want to take that risk.

After a slight pause, the Flame Salamander reared its head back to gather flames in its mouth. Once it had gathered enough flames, it shot out a breath of flames at the wall of ice.
