Chen Tian then slowly opened his own panel, and at the same time, Huo Mie's interface lit up. Players need an interface to trade items with each other.
It was similar to a game. To give a friend something, you had to add them as a friend first, then send or request items. In the end, they would appear in the player's mailbox via email.
Chen Tian then tapped on his interface, and soon Huo Mie received a notification. When Huo Mie opened it, he was stunned.
He exclaimed in shock, "You actually have exclusive elf race equipment. Are you really going to give it to me?"
Huo Mie couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was exclusive equipment! Was he really giving it away like this?
This, this gift was too substantial!
Chen Tian waved it off, "It's fine. Just take it. I have a duplicate of it myself!"
"Ah!"
Huo Mie was dumbfounded at Chen Tian's words. He had a duplicate. Wait, wasn't there only one of these exclusive weapons? For a single class, where did a second one come from?
Seeing Huo Mie's expression, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh. He then pulled out a badge from his waist with both hands. It was clearly the exclusive elf race badge.
Identical in stats and appearance, Huo Mie was speechless. How monstrous was this guy?
Chen Tian then retracted his shapeshifting ball and said, "Now you can accept it, right? I have one of these myself, and this is an extra one. I'm giving it to you as a welcome gift for joining the team. Furthermore, its stats can help you grow."
"Thank you! I promise, I'll join your team. I, Huo Mie, value righteousness above all else. I will remember this favor. If you need any help, just say the word! I won't hesitate!"
Huo Mie patted his chest, speaking with great generosity. Chen Tian then walked up to Huo Mie and said, "Let's leave here now! The Fire Spirit race here will be wiped out soon. Don't die!"
"Okay!"
Chen Tian's words enlightened Huo Mie. He knew the purpose of Chen Tian and his companions' arrival. Huo Mie then ran towards the outskirts of the city. Since he had agreed to Chen Tian's terms and accepted his guidance and gift, he naturally wouldn't interfere. They were friends now, and friends didn't fight their own brethren.
Chen Tian watched Huo Mie leave, while simultaneously observing beams of light shooting out from four directions. Chen Tian then took out a fragment, a silver mechanical fragment. The mechanical fragment looked like shards of a broken mirror.
Chen Tian gently tossed it, and it landed on the edge of the eastern city wall. A beam of light then shot straight into the sky.
Inside the City Lord's mansion in the center of the city, two beams of light shot into the sky, and an enraged roar echoed, "Who dares to run amok in Huo Longyun's territory! Come out!"
Two figures appeared in the sky above the City Lord's mansion. Huo Longyun and another elf youth sensed the powerful energy fluctuations in the surroundings, which prompted them to investigate.
Shuili and his group also appeared before Huo Longyun. Shuili said calmly, "Huo Longyun, today is the day you die!"
"Shuili, do you think the four of you can defeat us? Delusional. Tribesmen, full combat!"
Huo Longyun roared at Shuili and his group. He was already angry from his previous defeat, and now they were attacking him, it was suicidal!
He would bury them here.
However, as Huo Longyun's roar subsided, the surroundings remained silent. Xue Yuanlong said calmly, "This place is already shrouded by a barrier. No one will know what happens here, and no sound can get out."
"Your tribesmen will soon join you!"
A slight smile played on Xue Yuanlong's lips, and numbers flowed in his eyes. Four beams of light descended into the ground from the east, west, north, and south, disappearing.
At the same time, a massive magic array appeared throughout the city. A silver six-pointed star array materialized, and horrific explosions began to echo.
The entire city was engulfed as if by a nuclear blast. Then, as the dust and debris settled, Shuili and his group stood in the sky above the city, looking west.
The entire city had turned into a scorched, broken ruin, with no intact structures. There was no sign of life. Chen Tian opened his divine eyes and looked at the city. This strike had annihilated the entire Fire Spirit race in the city.
Chen Tian then opened his left hand in the air, and a mechanical gear door appeared. Xue Yuanlong knew his mission was complete and stepped through it.
Huo Longyun looked at the scene before him, enraged like a wild beast. "Good, very good, Shuili. Since you're seeking death, I'll grant it to you!"
The deaths of hundreds of thousands of his tribesmen were enough to ignite a towering inferno of hatred. Huo Longyun's fury was directed even more towards Chen Tian, as Chen Tian was the one who controlled the war machine earlier.
Chen Tian was stared at intently by Huo Longyun. Shuili blocked Huo Longyun's path, a smile on his face. "Huo Longyun, your opponent is me!"
"Huo Po, are you still going to watch? Help me take them down, and I'll agree to your terms!"
Huo Longyun turned to the youth beside him. It was then that Chen Tian and Shuili noticed the youth's presence, as they hadn't noticed him at all before.
The youth then appeared in Shuili's sight. Shuili exclaimed, "How are you here? Where is Shui Tianlong? Huo Po!"
"Oh, that good-for-nothing? I killed him, and after taking over the city, I had nothing better to do so I came to see. What's wrong, Shuili? You still care about that loser?"
Huo Po's tone was mocking. Shuili's eyes instantly turned a sapphire blue, with blood-red lines appearing. He charged straight at Huo Po. "I will avenge my brother!"
"Hmph, do you have the strength for that?"
Huo Po didn't take Shuili seriously and spoke with disdain.
The two then clashed, and the battlefield shifted. Chen Tian looked at Huo Longyun before him with no expression.
Huo Longyun, filled with rage, roared, "Kid, die!"
Huo Longyun then threw a punch. Terrifying flames appeared before Chen Tian, revealing the power of a Monarch-level boss.
The sky turned fiery red, like a sunset and sunrise. A massive palm of flame then converged and rushed towards Chen Tian, engulfing him. Chen Tian remained motionless, standing still.
Huo Longyun's lips curled. In his eyes, Chen Tian had given up resisting.
How could someone of his status and level possibly contend with him? In his eyes, Chen Tian was just waiting to die.
But was that truly the case?
Suddenly, an explosion rang out. With a deafening boom, Chen Tian's figure appeared unharmed before Huo Longyun.
Huo Longyun rubbed his eyes. "God! Am I seeing things correctly? Someone actually withstood his full power attack. How is this possible?"
"His tier is lower than mine!"
Chen Tian said calmly, "Is that all? You want revenge? Delusional! Huo Longyun, I advise you to go all out, otherwise, it would be a shame to die by my hand."
"Hmph! Kid, I don't believe it. You must have used some trick just now. Come again!"
Huo Longyun's mind was already filled with rage, and now Chen Tian's taunts only intensified his anger.
The elves of the Fire Spirit race mastered fire elements, but they were also influenced by them. Their tempers were difficult to control, and they could be easily angered. However, once their anger erupted, it was the most terrifying.
Chen Tian looked at Huo Longyun. Originally, Shuili was supposed to deal with him, but Shuili had also been consumed by rage. It seemed Chen Tian had to handle it himself.
Chen Tian felt a headache coming on. Fortunately, he had copied the abilities, characteristics, and stats of the exclusive equipment he gave to Huo Mie using his shapeshifting ball.
Otherwise, facing Huo Longyun himself would have been quite difficult.
Ah! You might ask when Chen Tian's shapeshifting ball gained copying abilities. This was thanks to a boss reward Chen Tian found while organizing his inventory earlier.
It directly granted the shapeshifting ball a random ability. Copying abilities was one of them. The shapeshifting ball could copy weapon abilities without damaging the weapon, but the copied weapons could only be used once a day.
The copying limit was only one use. When Chen Tian gave away the badge, the elf badge was copied by the shapeshifting ball. This was why Chen Tian had two elf badges.
