Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Division of Spoils
"Be careful, everyone, that’s the Red Flame Giant Troll!"
At the same time, Bai Shan had already recognized at a glance the owner who had just launched a sneak attack on Meng You, a mutated creature living here, the Red Flame Giant Troll!
Upon hearing Bai Shan’s warning, everyone present, regardless of who they were, immediately summoned their respective magical treasures, watching vigilantly at the place where the pillar of fire rose.
"Roar!"
A deep roar suddenly echoed from the underground where everyone originally stood.
Soon after, everyone saw that the previously relatively flat crimson ground suddenly developed cracks.
And within these cracks, huge fiery serpents were leaping, exuding an extremely violent and scorching aura.
"Boom!"
Finally, accompanied by a loud noise from underground, two massive hands, about twenty meters long and entirely composed of crimson flames, suddenly emerged from those cracks, breaking through the ground and instantly appearing before everyone!
"Kill it! Kill it before it fully emerges!"
A man with a slightly fierce appearance, an early-stage Profound Immortal, suddenly shouted.
And as his words fell, a steel fork glowing with golden light directly stabbed towards the two flaming hands!
"Pfft!"
The golden steel fork quickly pierced through the surface of the flaming hands, stabbing dozens of bloody holes in those arms instantly.
Zhu Fei clearly saw that from the holes pierced by the golden steel fork, countless torrents of flames suddenly erupted, falling to the ground, making a "sizzle" burning sound.
"Aargh!"
As if provoked by the fierce man’s attack, another roar erupted from deep underground.
And this time, without waiting for everyone present to react, the Red Flame Giant Troll suddenly launched a sky-soaring flame!
Along with this sky-soaring flame was indeed the true form of the Red Flame Giant Troll!
In the blazing flames, a giant humanoid monster, nearly a hundred meters tall, shrouded in flames, with black ghostly fires glowing in its eyes, thus presented itself before everyone!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Suddenly, five rotating Sword Qi mountains appeared above the Red Flame Giant Troll, descending with a momentum like Mount Tai falling!
"Roar!"
The Red Flame Giant Troll, suddenly aware of Zhu Fei’s attack, raised its flaming giant hands and directly slapped towards those five Sword Qi mountains!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The Sword Qi mountains cut into the Red Flame Giant Troll’s hands, instantly severing them cleanly!
However, to Zhu Fei’s slight surprise, the Red Flame Giant Troll’s hands, after being severed by his Great Five Elements Sword Energy, regrew in a short time!
"Attack its forehead, only by completely shattering the demon core in its forehead can we truly kill it!"
Bai Shan suddenly shouted to Zhu Fei and the other people present.
Upon hearing his shout, everyone seemed to react as if waking from a stupor, slightly shocking them.
Soon, various attacks and magical treasures launched towards the forehead of the Red Flame Giant Troll in the blink of an eye.
Despite the Red Flame Giant Troll possessing almost the strength of an early-stage Profound Immortal, under such a collaborative attack from many people, no matter how strong its defense and self-recovery abilities were, it had no more chances.
The reason everyone was initially intimidated by its presence was that it was their first time in the Divine Burning Tower, and they weren’t familiar with the various situations within.
Secondly, the Red Flame Giant Troll appeared rather suddenly. Except for a few like Zhu Fei and Bai Shan, almost no one else noticed, which is why Meng You was nearly hurt by it.
Now that everyone had come to their senses, it was naturally impossible to allow it to continue to exist.
In just a brief moment, the Red Flame Giant Troll was slain by everyone working together.
After being killed, the Red Flame Giant Troll’s body quickly turned into ashes, leaving behind only a completely red crystal core, emitting paths of flames.
"That’s a Flame Crystal!"
Seeing the Flame Crystal left behind by the Red Flame Giant Troll, the fierce-looking man named Kong Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Everyone knows that Flame Crystal is a prime material for refining fire-element immortal artifacts, valued at no less than a billion low-grade immortal crystals.
This wealth, even for a Profound Immortal cultivator, is impossible to ignore, not to mention Meng You and another Heavenly Immortal cultivator.
However, they also understood that with their financial capacity, acquiring this Flame Crystal wasn’t possible.
Especially Meng You, who just had a misunderstanding with Zhu Fei, had no intention to claim this Flame Crystal.
Instead, Kong Yuan showed great interest in the Flame Crystal.
He couldn’t help but look at Zhu Fei and, for the first time, addressed him:
"Mr. Ye, as the one who contributed the most in killing this Red Flame Giant Troll, you have the right to first refusal, but it holds great significance for me right now. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"
As he spoke, Kong Yuan looked towards Bai Shan and the others, clasping his hands in salute:
"Everyone, if possible, I wish to purchase this Flame Crystal. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing Kong Yuan’s words, the gaze of everyone present almost unanimously turned to Zhu Fei.
Bai Shan hesitated and said, "Since Brother Kong wants to purchase this Flame Crystal, I personally have no objection, but we agreed before coming here that Mr. Ye contributed the most, thus he has the first choice privilege."
Speaking, Bai Shan looked towards Zhu Fei and asked, "Brother Ye, what do you think?"
Zhu Fei thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "Personally, I don’t have much need for this Flame Crystal. If Brother Kong wants it, you can buy it. I have no objections."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s response, a trace of joy appeared on Kong Yuan’s face, and he quickly clasped his hands towards Zhu Fei, saying:
"In that case, let me thank Brother Ye in advance. If Brother Ye ever needs anything in the future, I, Kong Yuan, will certainly do my best to help."
After speaking, Kong Yuan turned to Bai Shan and asked, "Brother Bai, according to our prior agreement, how many immortal crystals should I pay to Brother Ye and everyone?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and quickly replied:
"Brother Kong contributed a lot earlier as well, so by calculation, Brother Kong could take 20% of the Flame Crystal’s proceeds, and Brother Ye, I believe, should receive 60%, with the remainder split among us. What do you all think of this allocation?"
"Hmm, I have no objections here."
Before anyone else could respond, Zhu Fei smiled and spoke first.
