Chapter 3598 The Second Way For Settlement

Although the green-colored flames were quite a distance away, Zen was still able to see them clearly.

The flames took human shapes and wore sturdy armors. Green flames spurted out from all the parts that weren't covered by their armors.

Noticing Zen's unusual behavior, Elvinia also turned and saw the three human-shaped flames. Her face turned pale in an instant as she caught sight of them.

They weren't certain about the origins of the human-shaped flames, but even with their distance, they could still feel the tremendous power emanating from these creatures. Elvinia couldn't help but take a few steps back because of fear.

"Grrr!"

A dragon-shaped Hidden Beast roared somewhere behind them.

Extremely surprised, Elvinia lost her balance as she tried to quickly turn. Before she fell, Zen immediately held her waist and helped her regain her balance. "Don't be afraid," Zen said softly as he tried to calm her.

Elvinia nodded, though it was obvious that she was still in a state of shock.

She actually had complete trust in Zen, but she just couldn't shake off her fear and anxiousness of being trapped between the Hidden Spirit Lamps and the three unknown creatures.

After calming Elvinia, Zen asked the Regal Jade Spirit and No. 9527 about the origin of the human-shaped flames.

This time, both of them seemed to know the answer. They had enough knowledge about the human-shaped flames.

"These creatures are born in the flames. They belong to the Element Spirit race," the Regal Jade Spirit answered.

"They are called the Moon Fire Slaves. Among the members of the Element Spirit race, these creatures are very powerful warriors," No. 9527 added.

"What's strange is that they usually appear in the higher stages. What are they doing here in Stage Seventeen?"

After listening to No. 9527 and the Regal Jade Spirit, Zen concluded, "There's only one thing that could explain this: the Element Spirit race must have been informed of our arrival."

"You're right. It was the Elephant Man race," No. 9527 replied.

Back on the grassland, Zen surmised that the Elephant Man race was probably a group of spies for some large race. It seemed that his guess was indeed correct.

"Fortunately, though the Moon Fire Slaves are very powerful, their strength has been greatly suppressed after they entered this stage. However…" No. 9527 paused abruptly.

"What is it?" Zen quickly asked.

"Their strength migh

apsed and his flames were extinguished. The broken armor scattered all over the ground.

"Is he dead?" Zen was a little confused and stunned.

As the scorching waves disappeared, Elvinia was finally able to breathe properly. There was a sigh of relief as she fixed her charred hair. "How could he die all of a sudden?" Elvinia asked as she caught her breath.

"His injuries must have been settled!" Zen's face brightened up as he realized what happened.

According to the Regal Jade Spirit, if they were attacked by the Hidden Beasts, the injuries accumulated would only be settled after they retreated a certain distance.

However, it seemed that there was more than one way for the injuries to be settled.

No. 14's framework was huge and he didn't bother dodging any attack made by the Hidden Beasts.

As he rushed to Zen's location, several attacks from the Hidden Beasts accumulated on his body.

"I guess when the power of the Hidden Beasts' attacks reaches a fatal limit, it will be automatically settled," Zen told the Regal Jade Spirit.

"That should be it."

"I agree!"

No. 9527 and the Regal Jade Spirit affirmed Zen's deduction.

In the distance, No. 12 and No. 13 were standing still. Their angry faces were outlined by the flames in their helmets.

"Really? Only half the distance, and No. 14 was killed," No. 12 uttered in surprise.

"We can't take any more chances. We need to extinguish the lamps first before we chase them," No. 13 urged.

It was true that the Moon Fire Slaves were tough creatures. For now, No. 14 had died, but they still had a way to bring him back to life later.
