With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 688: Phoenix flames

After a bit of silence, Mo Sha said, "Shouldn't we take care of the Fire Lotus Flower first? If we leave it be, it'll attract even more spirit beasts."

When Xiao Ming heard this, she slowly snapped out of her daze and gave a nod of agreement.

Though she was still looking at Mo Sha with a strange look.

Mo Sha didn't seem bothered at all as he started walking towards the Fire Lotus Flower that was being guarded by members of both of their groups.

Xiao Ming didn't let him go alone, so she went over to the Fire Lotus Flower with him.

Now came the hardest part, they had to decide how to split this Fire Lotus Flower.

There was only a single one and they couldn't just split it, so they had to decide who would get this Fire Lotus Flower. The group that didn't get the Fire Lotus Flower would have the ability to claim the next special item that they found, so it wasn't as if they were losing out.

The only problem was if they would even be able to find something that was one the same level as this Fire Lotus Flower.

So it was better to take what was in front of you than to wait for an uncertain future.

As Xiao Ming was hesitating over this, Mo Sha suddenly said, "You should take this Fire Lotus Flower."

Xiao Ming couldn't help looking at Mo Sha with a surprised and confused look.

After all, she had assumed that he would have tried to get this Fire Lotus Flower for them since it was a precious herb. Would anyone really give up a precious herb like this if they had the chance to obtain it?

Mo Sha went against Xiao Ming's expectations as he calmly said, "This Fire Lotus Flower doesn't have any use for us, so there's no reason for us to take it."

He then narrowed his eyes to look at Xiao Ming before saying, "This Fire Lotus Flower would benefit you greatly with your flame energy. It will help you unlock whatever is sealed inside of you."

Xiao Ming was taken aback when she heard this before narrowing her eyes to look at Mo Sha.

This was something that most of the other members of the Love Sect didn't know.

The only ones that knew this were her master, her junior brother, and some of the elders.

So how did Mo Sha find out about this?

Mo Sha just said with a calm smile, "I have my ways, you don't need to worry about them. Besides, it would be good for us if our allies were to become stronger, right?"

Xiao Ming just couldn't see through Mo Sha at this moment at all.

She had thought that she had a good idea of what Mo Sha was capable of and what kind of person he was, but it seemed like this wasn't the case. It seemed like there was still much about him that she wasn't able to see through yet.

Mo Sha didn't care about the way that Xiao Ming looked at him and walked around the edges of the area before bending down to pick something up.

He turned back and held this thing up before saying, "We'll just take these for now while you get the big item."

The thing that he was holding up was an herb, but it wasn't that rare of an herb.

It would still be counted for points, so there was some value to it.

They just watched over her as the flames kept gathering around her.

Even when Xiao Ming was completely surrounded in flames, no one seemed to care since they could see that she was perfectly fine. Even though the flames surrounded her, it didn't seem like they were able to touch her.

It was as if there was a fine line between her and the flames that kept her safe.

The flames even seemed to be protecting her with the way that they wrapped around her.

It seemed like everything was going fine until...

"Ying!"

Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden sound that came from Xiao Ming.

They didn't understand what was happening at first until the flames that were around her suddenly started to take a form. These flames that were wrapped around her morphed until they took the form of a bird, or at least that was what it seemed like.

Mo Sha narrowed his eyes when he saw this before saying, "Phoenix, these are the flames of the phoenix."

That was all that he got to say as there were roars that suddenly came from all around them.

As everyone turned away from Xiao Ming, they saw that there were a bunch of spirit beasts that suddenly came out of the forest around them. All of these spirit beasts were charging at them, as if there was something that they wanted.

Seeing them like this, it was easy for them to understand what these spirit beasts wanted.

They wanted Xiao Ming, or rather they wanted to take whatever was inside of Xiao Ming.

It seemed that her awakening and that bird cry just now had attracted all of these spirit beasts.

Though all of them revealed bitter smiles when they saw this, there wasn't a single person who had a trace of worry in their eyes. That was because these spirit beasts didn't pose any threat to them.

They were on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, so the spirit beasts that were here weren't that powerful in the first place. The only exception was the Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger that they had already killed.

No one knew why these two had been here other than for the Fire Lotus Flower, but they were the only strong ones here.

The rest of the spirit beasts that were here were all weaker than them.

It wasn't just a bit weaker, but they were all much weaker than the Sun Lion and the Steel Tiger.

So they wouldn't have any problems fighting these spirit beasts.

But...they had underestimated how attractive Xiao Ming was.

Half an hour later, the ground was covered in the blood of spirit beasts.

There were over five hundred spirit beasts that had been attracted during this time, so they had been fighting without stopping.

Everyone looked tired, but they weren't hurt at all.

Only when Xiao Ming opened her eyes and the flames scattered did the spirit beasts stop coming.

Seeing the scene in front of her, she just said with her tongue stuck out, "Sorry."
