Liu Jinglan waved goodbye to the four people and returned to Chen Yuan’s side, "There’s a bit of a situation ahead."

Chen Yuan watched the four who looked miserable gradually leave, then asked, "What’s going on?"

"They were attacked by a group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirit and got slightly injured. They’re looking for a place to recuperate." Liu Jinglan’s eyes flickered as she suddenly glanced up at the scorching heat waves in front and laughed, "They said there are many Wandering Fire Ash Spirit ahead, so we should be careful."

"How many are there?" Chen Yuan pursued.

"Hmm..." Liu Jinglan collected herself, her expression turning serious, "The specific number is unknown, but the area ahead is part of the core zone of Flame Mountain, where the quantity of Wandering Fire Ash Spirit multiplies, and they’re more aggressive."

"Even from a distance, if they spot us, they will attack."

"Moreover, many places have Wandering Fire Ash Spirit responsible for patrols."

Pausing slightly, Liu Jinglan’s eyes showed contemplation, "According to their description, the survival pattern of Wandering Fire Ash Spirit ahead seems to have changed."

Meeting the curious gazes of the three, Liu Jinglan patiently explained, "Wandering Fire Ash Spirit at the edge operate in groups of a few or dozens, whereas those ahead move in multiple groups."

After a moment of thought, Chen Yuan deliberated, "So, we can understand a single group as a tribe, while ahead multiple tribes form an alliance."

Chen Yuan hesitated to speak, "But....."

What causes multiple tribes to form an alliance?

If without outside factors, given the fiery temper of these Wandering Fire Ash Spirit, how could they coexist with other groups?

"Wait, there’s a possibility." Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, murmuring, "There’s one especially powerful Wandering Fire Ash Spirit forcefully ruling this region, controlling multiple tribes at once."

His mind wandering, Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Then this Wandering Fire Ash Spirit must be Tier Three strength."

But just being Tier Three is still nothing before Spark and Cola.

Having understood the situation ahead, Cola led the way as they moved forward.

Before long,

Chen Yuan and the others encountered a patrol group formed by several Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, led by a Tier Two and many Tier Ones, continuously patrolling a fixed area.

Glancing beyond this patrol group, one could see the vast mountain fire ahead, the waves surge upwards.

"Why don’t we take a detour?" From afar, seeing this group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirit, Chang Yuhuan suggested.

While eliminating these Wandering Fire Ash Spirit is easy, it inevitably alarm the others, leading to a siege.

And as a mature Beastmaster, one should avoid finding oneself in such an embarrassing situation.

Liu Jinglan shook her head, dismissing the idea, "We are here for the mountain fire and Wandering Fire Ash Spirit. If we detour, isn’t that defeating the purpose?"

"Moreover, even if we detour to avoid these Wandering Fire Ash Spirit, doesn’t mean other places don’t have patrols."

As his words landed, he held his chin, contemplating deeply, "But being besieged is indeed unwise; can we find a way to quietly dispose of this patrol group?"

At once, everyone fell silent.

"Hum, hum."

Suddenly, the Twin Flower Concubine poked her little head out of Chen Yuan’s pocket, smiling radiantly.

Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up, gently tapping Twin Flower Concubine’s little head, "Ah yes, there’s you."

When it comes to quietly disposing of opponents, Twin Flower Concubine certainly has a say.

The little one’s [Sweet Fragrance] perfectly meets this condition, but these Wandering Fire Ash Spirits are a bit far away, and the mist can’t drift over smoothly, so it needs a little external aid.

Chen Yuan glanced at Cola, smiling slightly, "Cola, it’s your turn."

Letting Twin Flower Concubine stand on his shoulder, the little one waved her hands, and a frail pink mist appeared, spreading in the air.

"Cola, take action." Chen Yuan reminded Cola.

"Owl!"

Cola whimpered softly, then stirred up a gentle breeze, cautiously directing the mist.

Cola was very careful this time; if too strong, it would scatter the mist,

but if too light, it wouldn’t precisely blow the mist towards the Wandering Fire Ash Spirit, hence greatly testing Cola’s meticulous control over Wind Energy.

Chen Yuan laughed, "Just the opportunity to train your fine control."

Focused on controlling the breeze, Cola didn’t have the luxury to respond to its master, its eyes staring firmly at the mist, all attention focused.

Fortunately, Cola wasn’t seeking speed; the mist slowly and steadily followed the airflow, unconsciously nearing the patrolling Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.

The next moment,

The mist fell silently, covering the group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.

In no time, the group of Wandering Fire Ash Spirits fell asleep on the ground.

"So impressive!" Liu Jingyi’s eyes lit up, applauding the perfect cooperation of the two little ones.

Liu Jinglan clicked his tongue in wonder, "Indeed impressive; this cooperation is unexpected and hard to guard against."

The influence range of Sweet Fragrance is large but difficult to move; however, the Gale Hunting Dog capable of stirring up wind perfectly resolves this issue.

With the two cooperating, not even wild Pet Beasts or Beastmasters can react in time.

Pausing briefly, he laughed, "Luckily, regular battles aren’t 2V2, no need to face such an annoying skill combo."

"Thank you." Chen Yuan gently tapped Twin Flower Concubine’s little head, then glanced ahead, "Let’s continue forward, and hurry to the foot of Flame Mountain."

"Okay." Liu Jinglan agreed, proactively taking the lead with the Red Flame Ox.

However, they hadn’t gone too far when vast and continuous mountain fires came into view, and more Wandering Fire Ash Spirit entered their sights.

Chen Yuan quickly noticed something strange, "These Wandering Fire Ash Spirit seem to be moving in the same direction?"
