Chapter 12

The group continued to rush toward the coordinates of the next distress signal.

When a team enters the strange stone canyon, they will generally explore the path, and will only start hunting when they are sure that their target can be killed. 

If they are still trapped in this situation despite such measures, it means that they encountered a strange beast with special abilities or good at concealment.

Huo Yin is experienced and cautious, he cleared a lot of dangers along the way. When the team found the location of the second distress signal, they were a little worried.

It was in a long, narrow, and winding valley, about several hundred meters deep, with steep rock walls and surging undercurrents at the bottom of the valley. It was a terrain that was unsuitable for combat. 

There are mainly cloud-patterned python lizards, terrestrial dragons, Xuanji butterflies, fei bones, Zen spiders, and other exotic beasts living here. During the mating season, these exotic beasts are separated from each other.

Huo Yin and the others stood on the top of the valley and looked down, only to see a patch of vines spread all over the stone wall. Cold air swirled up, blowing everyone's hair to flutter.

The location where the signal was sent was in the middle of the stone wall, and Tully released a spirit ghost she had refined. It went down to investigate the situation. 

Who would have known that the spirit ghost that went down immediately ran back in tatters after dozens of seconds, and its spirit body was erratic as if it would disperse at any time? 

"Have it encountered a beast that can devour spirit ghosts?" Huo Yin's eyes narrowed.

"I'm not sure." Tully's spirit ghost was mutilated without even seeing the situation.

Huo Yin guessed that there might be a Divlong or Fei Bones down there, these two kinds of beasts are the nemesis of ghosts/spirit-type monsters. 

The former has scales attached to the outside, which are invulnerable to water and can also spray a poisonous mist that can paralyze people. The latter is extremely fast, can shoot through steel bars, and has mental interference in the form of sound waves.

At this moment, Huo Yin's handheld device suddenly vibrated. He took it out and took a look, and found the message from a familiar number. It was from the streamer, Hao Zi.

Huo Yin clicked it: [Boss Huo! Come and save us, we're just below!]

Huo Yinzheng wondered how he knew they were coming. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a light spot flickering on the opposite side. He took a closer look and found that it was Hao Zi's live camera.

[What's the situation on your side?] Huo Yin asked with a text message.

[There are 4 of us, and we're temporarily hiding in an excavated cave. There are at least a thousand fei bones outside.]

Huo Yin frowned. He would rather deal with terrestrial dragons than fei-bones beasts.

"Fei bones?" Feng Chenxiu whispered, "I'm afraid we can't deal with so many fei bones. It seems that they can last at least a few days, why don't they wait until the mating season is over?"

Fei bones are small in size, fast, and have mind interference sound waves when attacking.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to wait that long." 

There are at least ten days until the end of the mating season, and even if Hao Zi's team isn't discovered by the flash bones, hunger and thirst can lead them to death.

At this time, Hao Zi sent another message: [Big brother, you must save us! There are still hanging suspension vines growing in this stone wall cave, and according to their growth rate, there will be a  disaster in two days.]

Huo Yin was speechless. Suspension vines like to eat flesh and blood, and they can also be parasitic. In a normal area, these vines are not difficult to deal with, but in a narrow and closed space, they are the hunters.

There are fei bones in the front and hanging suspension vines in the back. How can they save them?

When Huo Yin was thinking hard for a strategy, Hao Zi's live broadcast room was also noisy.

[I think it's possible to dig a passage to the cave from above.]

[Impossible. There are a large number of hanging suspension vines growing on the stone wall, and those vines are carrying a large number of parasites. If the team became infected by parasites, it will be a disaster. What's more important is that when the parasites infected them, it is equivalent to being meals of Fei Bones. Fei Bones like to eat this kind of parasite the most.]

[How about leading the fei bones away?]

[Are you kidding me? There are thousands of fei bones, how do you lead them all away? Who will volunteer? Wouldn't they be shot in a sieve in minutes?]

[Is there no other good way?]

[Poor chaps, there seem to be more unfortunate things happening than good things.]



"Captain Huo, I think it's better to forget it." Gao Fei and Wen Te of the Full Moon Knights disagreed about taking risks.

Su Mo and the others didn't express their opinions, as everything was arranged by Huo Yin. Although they haven't been together for a long time, they have already developed enough trust in Huo Yin, not to mention that there is a hidden bigshot beside him.

Huo Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Fei Bones aren't aggressive beasts."

Crowd: So?

"As long as we restrain our breath and apply water stones on our bodies, we can pass through this group of fei bones."

Everyone: "!" Are you serious? Passing through the thousands of fei bones beasts?  

Water stone is the substance most similar to fei bones, and once it's applied to the body, it can easily blend into these beasts. 

This is the case in theory, but in practice, it will be difficult. In the face of thousands of alien beasts that can shoot themselves into sieves, no one can keep calm no matter how good their mental quality is.

Evolutionaries have been fighting all year round, and have long since exercised their instinctive responses to avoid danger. Even if you intellectually tell yourself it's okay, your subconscious will respond.

"This is just some people's inference, no one has verified it." Gao Fei shook his head in opposition.

Huo Yin calmly said, "I believe it."

This inference first came from one of his close friends, who was extremely intelligent and keen on studying the habits of various creatures. Unfortunately, he was not able to survive because of someone's jealousy of his talents. 

It is also thanks to this friend that Huo Yin has a wealth of biological knowledge today.

"So you intend to try this?" Gao Fei and the others looked at him in disbelief.

Huo Yin was silent, but a look of firmness flashed in his eyes. Outsiders think that the Fei's bones have no source cores, but according to the research of his close friend, the eggs of the Fei's bones are their source cores, and they are very rare all-powerful source cores, which can increase any attribute power.

The reason why Huo Yin decided to take the risk is not only to save people but more importantly, to verify the theory of his close friend. He, who was once regarded as a lunatic by the world, failed to get the glory he deserved until his death.

"Chu Chu, why don't you try persuading the boss?" Feng Chenxiu moved closer to Yuan Chu and rubbed her arm.

"No." Yuan Chu's eyes flashed with a little bit of starlight, sensing the fluctuation of luck on Huo Yin. 

When Huo Yin made this decision, the destiny arranged by the Heavenly Dao spawned several challenges, and whether he could break the shackles of fate depended on his courage and will, as well as the way of his luck.

Huo Yin turned to look at Yuan Chu.

"Go." These simple words represent unreserved trust.

The corners of Huo Yin's mouth slightly raised, and he no longer hesitated. He has someone else go nearby to collect water stones and apply them all over his body.

His actions shocked everyone in the live broadcast room.

[Fuck, Did I hear that right? He intends to pass through this group of fei bones???]

[His operation is too showy!]

[He's a real martyr, daring to face the end of death.]

[Big brother, if you succeed, I will sell myself to you at a low price.]

[Big brother, if you succeed, I will make six personal flying hovercars for you for free.]

[Boss, if you succeed, I will give you three years of free clothing for the entire team.]

[Big brother, if you succeed, I will kill my boss.]



Everyone in the live broadcast room erected a flag with great pride, eagerly waiting to see Huo Yin's fancy death.

After Huo Yin was ready, he came to the edge of the ravine, put his hands on the wheelchair handle, turned over, and jumped down.

Everyone immediately leaned over and looked around.

The earth elements under Huo Yin's hands condensed and set up a downward ladder for him.

After climbing dozens of meters, a few scattered fei bones gradually appeared. They passed by Huo Yin and did not attack him.

The further down he goes, the more the number of fei bones. Huo Yin has fei bones crawling across his body from time to time, and several of them landed on his head and face.

Everyone was terrified, they became more nervous than Huo Yin. What shocked them, even more, was the fact that applying water stones to the body could prevent the fei bones from attacking simply subverted everyone's cognition.

When Huo Yin arrived in front of the cave where Hao Zi and the others were, he was covered with fei bones, and his figure can be vaguely seen. The Fei bones were able to shoot through steel plates and were extremely fast, but they were crawling around him like tame pets.

[I won't accept anyone, I will only accept this big guy!]

[My intensive phobia has committed.]

[God, is he not afraid at all?]

[Do you want my knee? I'll give it to you, give it to you!]

[These fei bones are quite cute...]

[Sending the upstairs a "Haha".]



"The boss will be fine, right?" Feng Chenxiu's palms were coldly sweating.

Yuan Chu: "Mmhh..."  ehh... okay for now.

Huo Yin tried his best to relax without a trace of hostility, and let the Fei bones play on him.

With his palm on the stone wall, he used the earth element to carve out a channel the size of a bowl, leading directly to the cave where Hao Zi was, and then pushed a bottle of water stones that he carried with him into the channel and sent it to Hao Zi's hands.

His intention is obvious, let Hao Zi and the others also paint their bodies with water stones, dig a way out by themselves, and climb up with him.

While waiting for the response, Huo Yin quietly collected a lot of fei bones eggs.

Five or six minutes later, there was a muffled sound in the stone wall, and Huo Yin immediately knew that the people inside had started to act. He slowly moved and climbed up the way he came.

There was a sound of gravel falling from behind, Hao Zi and the others poked their heads out of the cave and saw the fei bones flying all over the sky, they turned pale with fright, and shrank their heads back.

Huo Yin stopped, turned, and looked down.

[Hao Zi, don't be cowardly, come on!]

[Don't worry, the big boss has already tested it himself, and it will be fine.]

[Brother, it's time to test your courage! All the beauties around the world are paying attention to you!]

Everyone in the live broadcast room kept cheering them on.

After a few minutes of psychological construction, Hao Zi finally climbed out of the cave, climbed the dirt ladder left by Huo Yin, and climbed up step by step with trembling legs.

One after another, fei bones landed on him, and the cold and smooth touch made him have layers of goosebumps, and subconsciously wanted to disperse them.

Instinctual resistance instantly made Fei's bones agitated, flying around him.

Hao Zi immediately froze, staying motionless on the stone wall. Just now, he saw Huo Yin pass easily, but when it was his turn, he realized how terrifying it was. As long as there is a slight hostility, the fei bones will notice it.

Hao Zi looked at the height of more than 100 meters and felt that he could not climb out alive at all.

When he was being pessimistic, a scream suddenly came from behind him. He looked down and saw that the buddy behind him was pierced by a few bones, and a few columns of blood spurted out, and then the whole person fell to the bottom of the valley. 

In the process of falling, countless fei bones shot back and forth, spraying blood and bones in the air.

Hao Zi: "…"

Everyone in the live broadcast room: "…"

Mom, this baby is scared to death!

The brother on the live stream who said that the fei bones were cute before almost urinated in fright.

As soon as that person died, the rest of the people following behind could no longer keep calm. The chaotic breathing stimulated the fei bones, making the originally quiet ones start to go crazy, and even put Huo Yin in danger.

Huo Yin: Every day, I am coquettishly moving between life and death.

Tiandao: I do not believe that you are immortal.
