After a while, Ou Shaotian and the others found a mine that the Earth Demon Clan was excavating. They were mining a very hard metal.
The Realm of Fire Spirit was a high-temperature Realm, so there were a lot of high-grade ores.
The reason why Sect Master Yang Yaori gave such a high reward was because the resources in the Realm of Fire Spirit were too important. There were a lot of high-grade ores here.
These high-grade ores were needed to forge Treasure Weapons and Treasure Boats of Level 8 and Level 9.
"There's a mine in front. Should we take a look?"
The Flying Rat said excitedly.
"What should we do? If our identities are exposed, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome!"
Kuang Shi said with a frown.
Their current mission was to investigate, so they could not expose their identities. Otherwise, the Earth Demon Clan would know about the existence of the Archaion Sect.
"Maybe we can shift the blame to the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
As he spoke, a dozen tokens appeared in his hand. They were all tokens of the Heavenly Fire Sect's true disciples.
"What should we do?"
Kuang Shi was also a little tempted.
"Simple. I'll let the rat treasure go in. It can pass through Restrictive Formations, so it shouldn't be difficult to steal a batch of ores. If we're discovered, we'll leave these tokens behind and escape."
The Flying Rat said excitedly.
As he spoke, he released his Spirit Soul, the Treasure-seeking Rat.
The Treasure-seeking Rat was very good at breaking Restrictive Formations. 99% of the defensive barriers could not stop it.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Kuang Shi nodded and decided to do it.
The Flying Rat then began to move. It controlled the Treasure-seeking Rat to enter the mine from underground and quickly found the warehouse where the ores were stored.
This was not difficult for the Treasure-seeking Rat. After all, it was good at finding treasures.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The Treasure-seeking Rat quickly ran out with a few pieces of storage equipment.
"Well done!"
The Flying Rat said excitedly.
However, Ou Shaotian frowned and said in a low voice, "They've found us and are following us!"
"Oh no, there's a positioning formation on the storage equipment. Get ready for battle!"
The Flying Rat quickly realized that something was wrong and quickly transferred the ores into its storage equipment.
Then it threw away the storage equipment stolen by the Treasure-seeking Rat.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of figures rushed over.
"Stop!"
The leader of the Earth Demon Clan shouted.
However, Ou Shaotian and the others naturally wouldn't foolishly wait there. They had long since turned and fled.
"Kill!"
The Earth Demon Clan's experts launched their attacks one after another. Sword Qi, arrows, flying swords, and so on bombarded Ou Shaotian and the others.
"Dodge!"
There were too many attacks. Ou Shaotian and the others had no choice but to dodge with all their might.
Whoosh!
Many attacks landed on the fiery red forest. Many of the red trees were knocked down, producing loud rumbling sounds.
Both parties, one chasing and the other fleeing, quickly ran for dozens of kilometers.
"Shaotian, can you hold on?"
Whoosh! Whoosh!! Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!!!!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!!!
I! Whoosh! I!!!
Whoosh! Whoosh!! Whoosh Whoosh!
Whoosh!!
Whoosh! Whoof Whoosh!! Whou!
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh! "
Xuanyuan Zhantian replied.
He had just advanced to Rank 9 and was already at his limit. He could not hold on for much longer and was worse off than Ou Shaotian.
"If we can't hold on, we'll fight them!"
Whoosh Whoosh said.
"I have an idea. Everyone, follow me. There's a group of fire beasts on the right. We should be able to escape with their help. Remember to restrain your aura!"
Ou Shaotian said as he quickened his pace and led the way.
"Hurry! Keep up! Remember to restrain your aura!"
Soon, the group entered the territory of a group of fire beasts. It was a group of Flame Leopards that were much stronger than the Flame Wolves.
After a while, Ou Shaotian and the others hid in the territory of the Flame Leopards.
"Find them! They should be in this area!"
What they did not expect was that there was a group of Flame Leopards here.
"Roar!"
With a roar, more than ten Flame Leopards charged out from a patch of fiery red grass, pouncing on a few Earth Demon Clan members.
"Be careful!"
The Earth Demon Clan members cried out in alarm. Although they were short, their combat power was not weak. They quickly launched a counterattack and fought with the Flame Leopards.
There were more than twenty Earth Demon Clan members who caught up with them, and there were many who fell behind.
"Wait a moment. I'll close the array. We'll attack them from the back with the Flame Leopards. We'll attack them from the front and back and run!"
Kuang Shi squinted his eyes.
The current situation was a very good opportunity for them. However, the Earth Demon Clan's reinforcements would arrive soon, so they could not stay for long.
They could only attack once and run.
"Understood!"
The others nodded.
"Kill!"
At this moment, they happened to be at the right rear of the Earth Demon Clan. Most of the Earth Demon Clan members' attention was attracted by the Flame Leopards in front.
They did not think that there would be people coming from the back.
"Boom! Boom!
Boom! "A few people on the right were sent flying.
Kuang Shi's attack was the most ferocious. With that slash, it was obvious that the Earth Demon Clan members would not survive.
"Retreat!"
After that attack, Kuang Shi immediately ordered a retreat.
"You're courting death!"
The Earth Demon Clan experts who were fighting with the Flame Leopards were furious. They immediately abandoned the Flame Leopards and rushed over in a flash.
They targeted Ou Shaotian, who had the weakest cultivation.
"Die, brat!"
A violent attack blasted towards Ou Shaotian. Ou Shaotian blocked it with his saber and was sent flying. A token fell from his body.
He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. However, he borrowed the force of the opponent's attack to quickly escape.
"Let's go. I'm fine!"
Ou Shaotian shouted after landing on the ground.
Soon, the group disappeared into the fiery red forest. The Earth Demon Clan wanted to give chase, but the Flame Leopards bit them fiercely.
Most importantly, Ou Shaotian and the rest's sneak attack had seriously injured at least a dozen people.
Those who were not injured could not give chase. Instead, they had to protect those who were injured and prevent them from being killed by the Flame Leopards. They could only watch as Ou Shaotian and the rest escaped.
More than half an hour later, the battle finally ended. A portion of the Flame Leopards were killed, and the rest fled when they saw that the situation was not good.
"Leader, it's the Divine Fire Religion!"
Soon, the token that Ou Shaotian deliberately dropped was found. It was the token of the Divine Fire Religion's True Disciple.
"Report it!"
The leader of the Earth Demon Clan said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, leader!"
Soon after, they returned in a sorry state with the injured.
After Ou Shaotian and the rest successfully escaped, they returned to the camp and reported the Earth Demon Clan to their superiors.
The area where the Earth Demon Clan was found was marked on the exploration map of the Archaic Denomination disciples.
