Chapter 272 Fire-Breathing Wolf Camel
Mo Ming leaned against the tree trunk, his mouth agape at the sight that caught his eye, and his mind remained unsettled for a long time.
The four people were scattered in different directions, attacking a giant beast. Although it was dark, Mo Ming could see clearly through his binoculars, illuminated by the towering flames.
The behemoth was as agile as a wolf, but enormous in size, with a hump on its back like that of a camel—made of a shell of reddish rock, as if solidified from volcanic embers.
Its head resembles that of a giant wolf, with sharp facial features but deep-set eye sockets surrounded by two eerie red flames. Its sharp teeth gleam with a metallic edge, and sparks often fly when it bites.
Its muscles were strong and well-defined, its body covered in obsidian-like scales, the gaps reflecting a golden, lava-like sheen. Its limbs were thick yet agile, with extended claws like white-hot blades.
Its entire body radiated bright orange-red flames, and high-temperature steam rose from its surface.
Especially during battle, the flames in its two humps intensify, and its tail becomes like a naturally formed flaming whip, creating a scorching fire whip wind with each attack or roar.
"This giant beast looks very peculiar; it resembles a wolf but is not a wolf, and it looks like a camel but is not a camel."
Moreover, he didn't seem very fast; although his explosive power was strong, he was constantly being pulled and tugged by those people.
Mo Ming, who initially just wanted to watch the show, suddenly realized something was wrong. The secret realm was open for a limited time, and under normal circumstances, no one would actively provoke a Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast.
Aside from the danger, it's also a waste of time. Judging from the situation, the giant beast isn't very fast, so it shouldn't be difficult for those people to escape. Judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be from the same country; they must have been a hastily assembled team.
So there's only one reason why they didn't leave and instead kept attacking the giant beast—there's treasure!
Thinking of this, Mo Ming's lips curled up slightly. After assessing his methods, he made a bold decision: "I like the fisherman's game the most."
Then, it nimbly jumped down from the tree and, under the cover of night, cautiously made its way towards the back of the giant beast.
……
"Gu Sang, this fire-breathing wolf camel is already at its last gasp. Aren't you going to use your full strength?"
The white-clad man, who was frantically maneuvering and remotely controlling the enemy, frowned upon hearing this and cursed at the source of the voice, "You little devils, stop calling me by your damn names!"
The kimono-clad man, displeased at being rebuked, gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Liuyun, I urge you to use your full strength to behead the giant beast."
The others also turned their gazes to the man in white, seemingly dissatisfied with his lack of effort.
"Cut off my mud horse, try cutting one yourself." Gu Liuyun's sword energy slashed off course, almost hitting the little guy who was shouting.
"Baka yarou! What are you doing?" Xiao Rizi, who was dodging the flames spewed by the fire-breathing wolf camel, was almost hit by this sword energy and immediately became furious.
"Damn it, can't you understand human language, Kameda? If you keep babbling, I might not be able to hit the giant beast with this sword, but it will definitely hit you without any problem."
"hateful……"
"Gu Liuyun, everyone is putting in the effort, do you want to get something for nothing?" the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed man said coldly to Gu Liuyun.
"Exactly! We're all working together to fight monsters. You want a piece of the pie without putting in any effort? What kind of dream are you having?"
In an instant, six or seven people were all criticizing him.
"Hmph! Have you guys eaten too much gutter oil and lost your minds? When did I ever say I would cooperate with you?"
"You guys fight your way, I'll fight mine, why the hell are you all talking so much! You chatterboxes!" Gu Liuyun didn't hold back at all, directly transforming into Zhuge Liang, engaging in a verbal battle with the crowd.
"Horse riding!"
"Fack!"
"..."
The other three not only had to deal with the fire-breathing wolf camel, but also had to deal with the local strategist Gu Liuyun secretly causing trouble.
Unfortunately, we are at a critical juncture. The fire-breathing wolf camel has already suffered considerable injuries. If we release it back into the mountains, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
Otherwise, they would definitely kill that shameless Gu Liuyun first.
Although the three were united in their attitude towards Gu Liuyun, they each had their own plans and wanted to maximize their own interests, but they couldn't find any weaknesses in the others.
Unsurprisingly, Gu Liuyun had already begun conserving his spiritual energy, thinking about how to snatch this piece of meat from the other three. His actions were undisguised, basically consisting of blocking, dodging, and gesturing at the air!
Anyway, I came later and didn't contribute much. At worst, we can just part ways and nobody can have a piece of the pie.
However, while the group was "focused" on studying each other, none of them noticed that a figure had already taken advantage of the darkness to quietly circle around to the other side of the battlefield.
This is still a plain, without complex terrain or lava fields, so it is not suitable for its survival. Why then did the fire-breathing wolf camel appear here?
This is what Mo Ming is focused on; he firmly believes there must be something here that attracts him.
"What's so special about it?" Mo Ming muttered as he walked.
"Nothing strange at all... Oh my god!"
Mo Ming lost his footing and fell into a large pit, letting out a cry.
Fortunately, he was some distance from the battlefield, and with the roar of the explosions, his voice couldn't reach the others' ears.
"Thank goodness it wasn't a spike trap, or we would have really been in trouble today!"
He sniffed the air. "Hmm? A burnt smell?"
Brushing the mud off his body, Mo Ming took out a piece of luminous jade from his spatial ring.
To prevent the light from shining outside the pit, Mo Ming deliberately covered the luminous jade with his hand, leaving only half of it exposed for illumination.
Charred earth and rocks, flowers and grass, and...
"what is this?"
Mo Ming pinched a small pinch of it; it was warm.
I rubbed it again, and it seemed to be slag?
Looking around, the size matched the giant beast's physique, and Mo Ming was certain that this was the huge pit created by the fire-breathing wolf camel.
If the treasure wasn't swallowed by it, meaning it's still in the pit, or... underground?
Not daring to waste any time, Mo Ming flicked his finger, and a Luoyang shovel appeared in his hand. While digging, he couldn't help but gloat, "I really had foresight!"
Time passed slowly, the pit grew deeper and deeper, but Mo Ming's movements did not stop at all.
Suddenly, his tool made a crisp clanging sound, and his arm felt a strong recoil.
He had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and looking down, he discovered a hard object protruding from under the tool.
"Stone?"
Mo Ming frowned, squatted down, and carefully brushed away the surrounding soil with his hands. The light from the luminous jade shone on the object, gradually revealing its full form.
Mo Ming's eyes narrowed—this was not a stone, but a huge beast bone!
The surface of the bones gleamed with a faint orange-red luster, and a faint aura of intense heat emanated from them.
"What kind of ferocious beast's bones are these, that they exude such spiritual energy?"
Mo Ming was startled and quickly took out the analyzer from his pocket, pointing it at the beast bone. Data rapidly flashed on the analyzer's screen, and after a moment, a line of text appeared.
