Gu Ying closed her eyes when she heard Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua laughing. She had given up all hope. She was struggling to keep her eyes open under the assault of the drug.

Meanwhile, the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was howling weakly. She had no clue what he was doing, but he seemed to be communicating with the little mascot that resembled a lantern. The little creature was chirping and squeaking. She had no idea what they were discussing...

Gu Ying seriously did not understand. Why was the Flying Creek Snow Wolf so strong as a Summoned Beast, yet the little spirit that was supposed to be a Contracted Beast was like a little girl around the age of four. She was even making gestures since she could not speak properly!

As a matter of fact, despite Little Flame Belle's child-like voice, she was very angry!

She was not angry because of what Lu Zhuo had done, but because they were laughing at her!

Little Flame Belle could understand humans. Did they just call her a little lantern mascot?

Screw your mascot, I can be extremely fierce when I'm angry! ROAR!

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf cried out excitedly after seeing Little Flame Belle's reaction.

Little Flame Belle had been chasing after the Flying Creek Snow Wolf and burning him ever since she was only a little infant. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf had never won a fight against her, not to mention how weak these two humans were. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf sensibly carried Gu Ying away so she would not be caught by the flames of wrath from the little creature!

"We are running short on time. Let's do our things first. I'll explain to you in detail later," Lu Zhuo glanced after Gu Ying and grinned in anticipation.

"Sure… I'm feeling a little hot, too. Mm? It's so hot!" Jiang Hua subconsciously backed away.

The heat was spreading rapidly. Little Flame Belle had turned from a little lantern to a huge furnace. The blazing flames were driving the darkness away!

The heat was still growing. The entire lake had now turned red. The Salamander Demons floating on the surface had fled, scared of the heat!

The island was scorching. The flames around Little Flame Belle had lit up the entire island.

Little Flame Belle's petite figure had transformed amid the flames. She slowly grew and formed a slender silhouette.

Her eyes glittered among the flames. Her long hair was drifting elegantly. Her slender form displayed a noble and sacred aura as she floated above the flames!

Her body was made of transparent, sacred flames. Little Flame Belle liked to transform whenever she was angry, like a young empress born inside a burning magic swamp. Her imperious flames thoroughly highlighted the elegance of an Elemental Creature!

Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua were dumbfounded. The little mascot they were laughing at a moment ago had transformed into a dictator of flames in an instant. The flames were so strong that they could not even look at them directly!

The Flame Belle floated above the island. She slowly raised her hands. Two fiery roses blossomed on her palms.

One of the roses was brown-red, the other had the color of the sunset. The Flame Belle tossed the two fiery roses down from the sky.

The ordinary-looking roses fell lightly from the sky, but when they landed on the island, a huge shockwave of two different colors exploded and devoured the island in the blink of an eye!

The night was hazy and the lake was calm, but a brilliant sparkle suddenly appeared in the dark. One after another, ring of flames struck the darkness and lit up several kilometers across the Thousand Islands Lake as bright as day.

Sparkles scattered across the sky following the explosion. Some were spiraling in the air, while the others poured onto the lake like rain and lit it up. The Salamander Demons in the flames suddenly wished they had legs to sprint across the lake...

At the Minghu Outpost, Mo Fan was standing at the top of a sentry tower. He rubbed his jaw when he saw the blazing red sky in the distance.

"Did something happen?" Yang Ning asked worriedly, standing beside Mo Fan.

Yang Ning knew that the flames were quite a distance away from them, yet she could still sense a strong gust of heat sweeping at them. It clearly displayed how powerful the explosion was!

"Someone either stole her food or laughed at her," Mo Fan said.

Those were the only reasons Little Flame Belle would get so mad!

"What do you think about the incident that befell the Cangjin Hunter Squad?" Yang Ning asked.

Mo Fan had already received the message from the Foehn Hunter Squad, but he had no clue what had actually happened.

However, their leader was Lu Zhuo, a Three Stars Hunter Master. It did not make sense that his teammates would end up in the stomach of the Carnage Poisonous Salamander, unless he was a retard. Something did not feel right about this Lu Zhuo.

"It's fine, we'll soon find out what happened. Little Flame Belle is bringing them back," Mo Fan said.

"She's bringing them back?" Yang Ning was confused.

"Mm, hopefully, Little Flame Belle wasn't too serious. Otherwise, we will have to find a Healer to treat their injuries first." He sighed theatrically. "She is so hot-tempered at such a young age. I wonder who she learned that from?" Mo Fan shook his head helplessly.

The flames showed no sign of dissipating after a long time, even though there was water everywhere.

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf managed to freeze a spot to shield himself and Gu Ying from the explosion. Luckily, Little Flame Belle still kept an eye out for her friendlies when she was mad. She did not let the flames get close to them.

On the other hand, Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua were not so lucky. They were dumbstruck by the fierce flames. They looked like vagrants that had barely escaped a desert. Their skin was scorched black, their clothes were ragged, and they were even coughing out black smoke. They were floating on the lake, which was still covered in the remaining flames, like dead fish with their stomachs upward.

"Ling!~" The Flame Belle's eyes glittered. She used her Will to scoop them out of the lake.

Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua had totally lost any ability to fight. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and their hearts were filled with fear when they looked up at the Flame Belle while lying on the ground!

A mascot? She was no mascot!

She was a nuke with no countdown!

"She...she's a Contracted Beast..." Gu Ying's understanding was toppled once again, looking at the extremely powerful Flame Belle.

Lu Zhuo and Jiang Hua were both Advanced Mages, and a Three Star and a Two Star Hunter Master respectively, yet they could not even endure a single move from the Contracted Beast!
