Fire Beetle (Fire Beetle).

Chapters 37. Beetle Fire.

As he was about to enter the border region of the Five Fingers Mountain Range, Fang Yin took out a map, he looked for the first destination to get what he needed. Cao Tian Jun and the team circled around Fang Yin's body to join the map.

"We are heading to the inner region, the distance from where we are is 445 meters," Fang Yin said as he pointed to the location on the map.

Fang Yin needed a Mandrake type spirit plant, this type was like ginseng. There are three parts that can be used in this type of spirit plant, namely Mandrake, Mandrake Berry and Mandrake Flower.

Except for Cao Tian Jun, all the teams also took out maps, where they had marked every possible place for rare spirit plants.

"You are more complete than ours," said Chu Sying who matched his map with a different Fang Yin's.

Xue Yue and her team nodded as the map belonging to Fang Yin detailed the mapping of the Five Fingers Mountain region, there were even images of rare plants and also what kind of mystical beasts were guarding it.

"The place was guarded by a Golden Feather Hou-type mystical beast... The first task is quite difficult for us," Xue Yue said after looking at Fang Yin's map.

Hou Golden Feather a type of dog beast that was notoriously agile and ferocious, its tail forked three that let out flames. Which would make it difficult for Team Phoenix, the Golden Feather Hou was always in groups, they were very strict guarding his territory from anyone.

Not to mention Mandrake spirit plants that are over 100 years old that have intelligence, usually able to avoid humans to hide. But if he is over 250 years old, then the Mandrake spirit plant can control its roots to attack people who intend to take it.

"We'll see the situation there first, we'll make a plan" Fang Yin said, remaining calm despite the danger.

Due to the presence of Cao Tian Jun and Fang Yin, Team Phoenix was not worried. They immediately headed to the first location. Xue Yue and Fang Yin led the way, and Cao Tian Jun was behind to protect his team.

Before walking, Cao Tian Jun looked back, he sensed that someone was following.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Jiancheng.

"There's nothing." Cao Tian Jun replied and walked following his team.

After walking with Chu Sying Cao Tian Jun inwardly, "you still want to look for trouble outside the scope of the academy, it means that you guys are looking for death!"

Cao Tian Jun who had Heavenly Eyes saw Ling Dong's hideout with his group, they could not hide from the Heavenly Eyes. Cao Tian Jun deliberately did not tell his team if it was being stalked by Ling Dong, thinking he would clear them up by himself.

Ling Dong and his team also followed, but they kept their distance from being noticed.

"You guys walk first, I want to pee!" the reason Cao Tian Jun wanted to take care of Ling Dong and his team as soon as possible.

"You're a freak... Cultivators could resist not urinating for days!" sahut Chu Sying and laughed afterwards.

"Yes already, we're going slow. You already know the direction if it is left far behind," said Xue Yue who did not feel suspicious.

"Good." Cao Tian Jun immediately walked into the dense grove of trees after saying goodbye.

Fang Yin and his team resumed their journey without waiting, they thought Cao Tian Jun did not take long. After their visibility was quite far away, Cao Tian Jun changed his appearance to that of a brown-skinned young man, the same disguise he had when he killed Tan Wong.

"Be careful! The Five Fingers Mountain Range had many spies from the Bat Kingdom!" yan Yan's warning to Cao Tian Jun was not careless.

The Five Fingers Mountain Range was indeed not a territory belonging to the Bat Kingdom, but it was still close together. And, what Yan Yan said was indeed true, that the Five Fingers Mountain Range had countless bats that had become spies.

"Don't worry!" cao Tian Jun replied and immediately headed towards Ling Dong to head towards them before approaching Team Phoenix.

Cao Tian Jun jumped onto the tree trunk, then waited for Ling Dong to pass by. Then, he took out a fruit that was like a Dragon Fruit, yet it was still green in color. The Dragon Fruit is split into two parts, and mixes them with the aphrodisiac pheromone scent favored by animals.

Not long after, Ling Dong and his team were finally seen, they had not realized that it had been contaminated by the scent of a special aphrodisiac animal. The smell was on their clothes.

"Stop!"

A loud voice stopped Ling Dong and his team's steps when he heard the voice of a man. They were immediately alarmed by searching for the source of the voice, but did not discover who it was. The voice belonged to Cao Tian Jun who wanted to buy time until the mystic beast smelled the scent of an aphrodisiac.

Not long after they stopped walking, the roar of the beast sounded. The sound of the beast roar drew closer and made Ling Dong and his team even more wary by taking out weapons.

"Who are you? Out!" ling Dong shouted for the person who stopped them to show themselves.

The guards of Ling Dong, Wang Lee and Tang Wei immediately circled around the master. But Cao Tian Jun deliberately did not reveal himself.

"It may just be the sound of people from a distance, and not aimed at us" Wang Lee said.

"That's possible. But, didn't you hear the buzzing sound that was moving towards us?" ling Dong Suhut.

Everyone heard the sound of something flying, like the sound of a bee. They looked around and waited for the sound.

Finally there are many Fire Beetles (Fire Beetle); red like fire, has three pairs of legs, a pair of wings, and uniquely has a pair of claws, the size of a one-year-old baby.

"Damn it! The Fire Beetle. Why did they get out of the nest!" ling Dong's frightened cry was half-dead as the Fire Beetles came from the direction within the Five Fingers forest.

Fire beetles have nests, usually occupying caves or holes in trees. But, if it has a lot of colonies, usually the cave becomes the main nest.

In the cave, generally stored honey Fire Beetles are very great benefits, especially for the Alchemists and healers. In addition, Fire Beetle honey can also be used to cure various diseases and healing processes.

Cao Tian Jun was also surprised to learn that the one who came was the Fire Beetle. His plan was to summon the forest Boar-type mystical beasts, Tigers Beetles and Eagle birds. But in reality, what comes is a very dangerous Fire Beetle.

Fire Beetle is able to tear its victims with its claws, even armor made of iron can be penetrated, let alone just meat. In addition, as the name implies Fire Beetles, resistant to fire, even fire is a nutrient for them to get the nectar that produces honey after they drink.

Fire Beetles were also very difficult for cultivators as they were able to fly quickly, while flying hunting their prey.

The bodyguards immediately unleashed a spiritual energy attack to kill the Fire Beetle. Ling Dong and his team also did not stay silent, they exerted all their strength.

While Cao Tian Jun immediately fled before he was sniffed by the smell of the Fire Beetle. He caught up with Team Phoenix who was already a long distance away.

As Cao Tian Jun jumped from the tree trunk to the other tree trunk, he heard the sound of a burst of spiritual energy. He paused for a moment, his intention to gather with his team was undone, then he changed the direction that led to the lair of the Fire Beetle.

Yes, Cao Tian Jun obviously would not waste the opportunity to obtain the notoriously expensive Flame Beetle honey, as well as the high commodities in the Eastern Continent. In addition, he was also an Alchemist expert who needed the Fire Beetle honey to be combined with various types of pills.

With Heavenly Eyes, Cao Tian Jun found the lair of the Fire Beetle located in the middle of the hill. The hill was not far from the location that Fang Yin was going to go to, only its location was higher.

"You want to get some Fire Beetle honey? It was dangerous, there was usually his queen who was always heavily guarded by the Fire Beetle warriors!" once again Yan Yan gave a warning, he understood very well the territory of the Five Fingers Mountain Range.

"Relax, there's your Change of Form Technique!" replied Cao Tian Jun who immediately turned into a Fire Beetle.

Yan Yan sighed heavily, he also changed his form into a Fire Beetle. The two of them immediately flew towards the lair of the Fire Beetle. Upon seeing the hunter-type Fire Beetle, Cao Tian Jun and Yan Yan immediately went into hiding, as they did not want to be known as it would be difficult when communicating...

While Fang Yin and his team did not immediately go to the Golden Feather Hou's lair, they were waiting for Cao Tian Jun. Since the old did not come soon enough, Fang Yin decided to enter the Golden Feather Hou region with his team.

Before that, Fang Yin and Xue Yue made a strategy to distract the Golden Feather Hou group. And the others will enter the nest to retrieve the Mandrake spirit plant.
