Chapter 220: The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Might

After a whip of love, Lin Fan successfully subdued the chick. From now on, he would hold a lofty place in the chick's heart.

Although the chick looked somewhat miserable now, Lin Fan believed it would not let him down.

"Chick, come here." Lin Fan beckoned to the weak chick. The chick, as if drained dry by multiple lustful female creatures, floated its claws and wobbled over to Lin Fan.

The secondary profession of tamer was indeed powerful; there was nothing in heaven and earth that could not be tamed.

So what if it was the descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Phoenix? Under this whip of love, it submitted in body and mind, without a trace of rebellious thought.

Then Lin Fan roasted the poultry, ate it, rested for a while, placed the chick on his shoulder, and continued deeper inside.

This chick was just an unexpected gain; the treasure marked on the Seven Saints Treasure Map had yet to be found.

The Flame Hell was so vast that Lin Fan could not guarantee that the treasure marked on the Seven Saints Treasure Map was in this Blazing River. But if there was the most dangerous place in the Flame Hell, it was this Blazing River.

According to common sense, good things are naturally placed in the most dangerous places.

One man and one chick moved forward. The bottom of the Blazing River was like another world. If not for the light curtain above, Lin Fan would have thought this was the ground.

At this moment, Lin Fan noticed a change ahead. The originally pitch-black ground gradually transformed.

Some towering ancient trees appeared before Lin Fan, and among them, birds were soaring.

"Roar..."

At that moment, a ferocious beast suddenly leaped out from the shadows and roared at Lin Fan. Its狰狞 face startled Lin Fan.

It was unbelievable that ferocious beasts could survive here.

The chick on Lin Fan's shoulder fluffed its wings, jumped down, and chirped at the beast.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

Though the sound was strange, the chick was a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast, and its bloodline carried a majesty that made all beasts submit.

The ferocious beast's expression shifted slightly. It seemed timid, stepping back as if wanting to flee.

"Chick, ask it if there's any strange place here." Lin Fan had been walking with the chick for who knows how long without seeing a thing, and he was getting anxious.

The chick was highly intelligent and understood Lin Fan's words. It nodded its tiny head and then chirped a few times at the beast.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

Though Lin Fan couldn't understand what the chick said, this might be the language of communication between beasts.

At that moment, the chick flapped its wings, leaped up, landed on the beast's head, and chirped at Lin Fan, as if saying, "Follow me."

Lin Fan was delighted; it seemed there was a lead.

Lin Fan was truly impressed by the Flame Hell. It was boundless, and finding something here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He wondered if the place they were going to was the one mentioned in the Seven Saints Treasure Map.

Lin Fan followed the beast for who knows how long. The scenery kept changing, and by his estimate, they had walked at least two days.

After an unknown time, the beast stopped, exchanged a few sounds with the chick, and then bolted away.

Lin Fan was puzzled, not knowing what the beast had said. But when he looked ahead, he was stunned by the scene.

It was a waterfall, but what flowed was not water, but the Blazing River. The Blazing River cascaded down endlessly.

Could this be the strange place?

To Lin Fan, it seemed ordinary enough—nothing special.

But at that moment, the chick's feathers stood on end. It spread its wings and chirped at the flame waterfall, as if something inside had put it on alert.

Lin Fan focused his mind. Inside the waterfall, it seemed a pair of eyes was watching them.

"Chick, come back." Lin Fan took out the Eternal Axe and stared ahead with full concentration.

"Roar..."

At that moment, a powerful roar came from within the flame waterfall. The roars, like sound waves, made Lin Fan's clothes flutter.

Under Lin Fan's gaze, a huge claw extended from the flame waterfall. Its red, sharp nails pressed into the ground, seemingly blocking the flow of the Blazing River.

Lin Fan's expression tightened. The aura was very strong, and the beast was massive. Just one claw was like a small mountain.

Then a giant head emerged from the Blazing River waterfall, completely cutting off the flow. The red flames poured over the giant head, splashing waves of fiery water.

The head was covered in pitch-black scales, and its eyes burned with fierce flames. As the head emerged, it roared at Lin Fan again.

The roars, like sharp swords, shook Lin Fan, making him unsteady.

When the entire body was revealed, Lin Fan looked up, completely dumbfounded. It was huge.

Even its aura was suffocating.

So strong, truly too strong.

Lin Fan felt there must be some treasure behind the waterfall; otherwise, why would such a powerful beast be guarding it?

This aura was at least at the Great Heavenly Realm Grand Perfection level.

Lin Fan stepped back a few paces. This was beyond his ability; the treasure was not meant for him.

The giant beast bared its sharp teeth and snarled fiercely at Lin Fan.

What puzzled Lin Fan was why the beast didn't charge at him for a fight, but instead stood in front of the waterfall.

Could it be that his cultivation was too low to attract its attention?

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a great humiliation, as if he was being looked down upon by the beast.

"Fine, you win. I'll spare your life today. Next time I'm stronger, I'll come back and fight you to the death." Lin Fan pointed at the beast, made a bold threat, and prepared to retreat.

But as he retreated, Lin Fan activated the system to inspect it, and his expression turned strange.

"Small Heavenly Realm Initial Stage."

Lin Fan rubbed his eyes. Could he be mistaken? How could it be only Small Heavenly Realm Initial Stage?

The power it had just unleashed was something only a Great Heavenly Realm Grand Perfection cultivator could have.

But Lin Fan checked three times, and it still showed Small Heavenly Realm Initial Stage.

Could it be... At this moment, an idea struck Lin Fan. Was this beast just bluffing?

A smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. He patted the chick and said, "Get ready to fight..."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo..."
