Chapter 979 - 557: Flame Demon: Free Online Ion Perm [Subscription Request] [5K]_2

They were right on the outer edge, beyond the reach of the magma attacks.

They took out the items they each wanted to Trade and exchanged them on the spot face-to-face.

With that, the atmosphere at the boss subjugation site changed.

According to Zong Shen’s earlier predictions.

When the Flame Demon Boss’s Life Value dropped to the two thresholds of 40% and 10%.

That would be when it entered its Fury and Berserk states.

Besides its attack intent growing increasingly violent, the Flame Demon Boss’s attack frequency and attack strength would also steadily rise.

In other words, with him intervening in this region, that situation wouldn’t occur.

Otherwise, these Lords really wouldn’t be able to calmly hold an on-site trading fair right now.

Zong Shen glanced at the Lords around him.

He calmly ordered his team to continue holding position on the spot.

Then he mounted the Flying Tiger and circled around nearby.

Yesterday, when the Lords were Trading, he had Jiang Yi help him buy up some valuable items.

The result went without saying—he had naturally gained nothing.

Setting aside whether the other Lords even had any good stuff on hand.

Even if they did have some decent Tier items in their hands.

Nine times out of ten, they would choose to keep them as their trump cards.

Only idiots would take good things out to exchange.

Even if they really wanted to Trade, the prices wouldn’t be cheap.

It would only be an equal-value Trade; there was no way to get any bargain out of it.

Unless it was some flashy item like the [Tainted Heart of the Holy Spirit].

Something your average Lord wouldn’t see through.

At that point, Zong Shen could use the Guide Module to pick up a steal.

As for Jiang Yi?

She didn’t have that kind of ability!

The current situation was different from the early days of their descent.

Zong Shen still remembered how, back then, he had traded [Moon God Spring] for quite a lot of good stuff.

And now?

Almost every Lord had become extremely shrewd!

Zong Shen circled in the sky on his Flying Tiger, landing several times in between.

He noticed that most of what the Lords were Trading were all kinds of Equipment.

But the Tiers weren’t high, basically all below Rare Level.

Mainly Whiteboard Equipment, with a small amount of Refined Level and Excellent-level Equipment.

Only occasionally could you see one or two pieces of Rare-level Equipment.

Every piece of those Rare-level Equipment had a hefty asking price.

Basically on par with the going rates in the [Market] Trade.

There was no way to get a bargain.

So after making a round, Zong Shen lost interest.

He returned to his original position.

It was about time for him to make another move.

Once they finished this round, they’d wait a bit longer.

The Flame Demon Boss’s Life Value would drop below 40%.

That would mean Zong Shen could deploy the Blood-Burning Arrows.

To save Durability.

This time, for using the Blood-Burning Arrows, he still had the Shooters help.

So earlier, Zong Shen had specifically handed the Blood-Burning Arrows to Tier Four Strong Strike Ranger Mapple.

In a bit, she would use the Battle Bow to unleash a [Blood Burning] attack.

To land that crucial hit!

As for recovering them afterward, Zong Shen wasn’t worried.

The main material of the [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow (Purple)] was quite peculiar.

Its texture was like Obsidian.

It probably wouldn’t be easily melted by high temperatures.

Once the Flame Demon Boss was eliminated, they could retrieve them.

Zong Shen had long since worked out the Strategy for this round of the subjugation battle.

One link connected to the next.

He took advantage of the current moment to issue attack orders to Wenresa and the others.

Right as the Flame Demon Boss had just launched a counterattack.

He led the Warriors to quickly march into the Attack Range.

By the time three minutes passed and the Flame Demon Boss unleashed its next magma offensive.

They would have just reached their designated attack positions.

The nearly 300-meter Range around the Flame Demon Boss had almost all been baptized by magma rain.

The ground was littered with large amounts of already solidified, cooled lava.

These black chunks of lava were about the size of a fist, all embedded in the soil.

Like black Crystals scattered across the grassland, reflecting a frosted matte sheen in the sunlight.

In addition, due to the spread of magma.

The grassland between 150 and 300 meters from the Flame Demon Boss’s body was also ignited.

Creating a prairie fire unique to the steppe.

But as before, the Flame was firmly contained along the 300-meter boundary line.

An invisible wall of air blocked the Flame’s spread.

Not even a single speck of Mars on the grassland could cross over.

Since the number of Lords participating in the subjugation battle on site had increased quite a bit.

When the Flame Burning started, quite a few Lords immediately took out their prepared methods.

Trying to quickly extinguish the Flame and restore their attack rhythm.

During the period when Zong Shen was resting.

The high-power Magic that the Mages had mastered had just about all come off cooldown.

Those few Tier Three Water Mages huddled together.

They all began chanting group attack Water Skills like [Tide of Turbulence].

During the Heat Wave Challenge period, the Damage of Water Magic would be somewhat affected.

But their corresponding Skill Traits still existed.

They could still serve to extinguish the fire.

At the very least, opening up a path through the fire zone was no problem.

Under the path opened by Water Magic, Zong Shen and the others entered the field smoothly.

Only then did the other Mages start to show their might

Wind God’s Favored Canisia chanted [Wind Assault Calamity].

Twenty Tornadoes, carrying Wind Blades, spun around the Flame Demon Boss, almost encircling it as they sliced and shredded.

The Arcane Mages chanted [Multiple Arcane Missiles].

These Arcane Missiles shone with a faint Purple glow, trailing arcs as they scattered outward.

Because the Flame Demon’s body was massive, these [Multiple Arcane Missiles] could hit it with ease.
