Chapter 3597 Repeated Settlement

Zen let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the motionless shadow.

According to the Regal Jade Spirit, so long as the black flames on the lamp stands were extinguished, then the Hidden Beasts would remain motionless.

After making sure that the dog wasn't going to move anytime soon, Zen turned to Elvinia. "Follow me. I'll extinguish the flames one by one, so we can pass through."

Elvinia couldn't help but look at the motionless dog. "Are you sure this Hidden Beast won't move again?"

She had understood just now that the Hidden Beasts killed warriors relying on delayed settlement and accumulation.

If one got attacked by a Hidden Beast, the best course of action would be to leave the area to settle the damage. Consecutive, accumulated attacks were dangerous and could lead to a quick death.

How could Zen not understand this?

No matter how fast he moved, the Hidden Beasts would still land their attacks on him. If Zen could settle all their hits repeatedly, then it wouldn't be that hard for him and Elvinia to pass through this area.

He wanted to ask the Regal Jade Spirit for help but the latter was unable to give him any answers.

"The situation was critical when we encountered the Hidden Spirit Lamp. When the Wing King extinguished the flame, he took us deeper. I don't know if the Hidden Beast will move again," the Regal Jade Spirit told him.

"Forget it then. Let's just go inside," Zen said, giving Elvinia what he hoped was a reassuring smile.

Before them were three lamps and each one had a Hidden Beast tied to its post. The shadows' shapes told them these were wolves.

Zen confirmed the direction just now. Since the path before him was the shortest, he chose to challenge the lamp post directly in front of him.

As he stepped forward, the wolves began to get restless, dragging the wicks and trying their best to pounce.

Zen merely ignored the wolves on the left and right sides. They couldn't reach him and all he needed to focus

dangerous and the following grassland and round gobi area would be even more so. Zen wasn't going to put Elvinia in that sort of peril, so he grabbed her hand and prepared to take her away.

However, she wrenched herself away from his grip. "My body may not be as strong as yours but I can still take a couple of injuries!" she told him. "I can help you extinguish the lamps!"

So long as the damage they took was in the range of their endurance, then going through this area wasn't going to be so terrifying.

Elvinia had already made up her mind. If Zen was staying, then so was she.

The man looked on to the path they still needed to traverse. "We're going to have to be more careful from now on."

A huge, grey bite mark was on Zen's chest after he passed through two more lamp posts. The Hidden Beast that had bitten him was huge and had a mouth so big that it could swallow him in one gulp. One could only imagine how powerful this grey bite mark would be after it was settled.

As he pushed forward, Zen couldn't help but look back at the lamp posts he had once extinguished but were now all lit up again.

There was no settling this grey bite mark. All he could do was let it accumulate on his body.

Just as he thought about this, three green flames suddenly appeared at the entrance in the distance.
