Chapter 381 Eight Wild Flame Matrix

“What? How can this be?”

The dwarf stiffened and exclaimed in shock.

The four of them looked at each other, feeling confused. Even a modified bulletproof sedan could not send two gigantic concrete mixer trucks flying away. The incredible scene had thoroughly changed their understanding of reality.

Demon of Fire contracted his pupils intensely, but then he showed a trace of greed and said excitedly, “It is the Treasure, and it must be the Treasure. The Treasure cannot only be used to fight with a higher level ability, but also serve as a defense.”

When Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist who had been keeping a cold complexion heard these words, he looked with his blazing eyes at the Phaeton that had ostentatiously left. “We must get the Treasure.”

“The Treasure’s power is so nature-defying. We must take it.”

Woebegone Monk swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists, and said excitedly.

“Impossible, and they have run away. Since he has the Treasure, how can we defeat him?”

The dwarf said as his eyes glinted.

But he felt so much regret. If he had known that the Treasure had such a nature-defying function, he would have joined hands with Demon of Fire to try to think of a way to trap Ding Ning and take the Treasure and would never have asked Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist and Woebegone Monk to share the profit.

After all, Demon of Fire was no rival to him. After their success, he could kill him, but now with Woebegone Monk and Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist present, the pair who committed all sorts of crimes, even if they could kill Ding Ning, he would not take the Treasure alone.

“Humph, he has only escaped temporarily, but he cannot escape forever. Since I have meddled in, how can he escape successfully?”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist stroked his snow-white eyebrows confidently.

“Oh, Long-Eyebrow Taoist, you have prepared other traps?”

Demon of Fire raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

“Don’t forget that the guy Long Eyebrow is a master of matrices. Since he has meddled in, that little guy will die for sure.”

Woebegone Monk took out a greasy trotter from his chest, and put it in his mouth to gnaw, and said indifferently.

“That’s good. It seems that the guy is bound to die today.”

The dwarf said, but his face was a little stiff.

And he put on alert silently. Just now, the Long Eyebrow had been showing an indifferent look, but he had set up a matrix without their knowledge. Did he want to deal with Ding Ning or kill them and take the Treasure after they got the Treasure?

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist and Woebegone Monk seemed to look at each other casually, swapped glances, and then gave a knowing smile.

Previously, when Ju Zhu and Demon of Fire asked them to help take the Treasure with a 1,000-year-old snow lotus as payment, they already had the idea to kill them and take the Treasure. When they found that the Treasure could be used as a defense and also a weapon to attack, they became more determined on killing them and taking the Treasure.

The two of them had a very good relationship, and they had been on the peak level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm for many years without a breakthrough. When they thought that if they could get the Treasure and the 1,000-year-old snow lotus this time, with one using the snow lotus to reach the next higher level and the other using the Treasure to gain a higher-level fighting ability, they felt so thrilled.

“Follow me. That little guy should be in my matrix now!”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist raised his robe and pushed it backward and then ran quickly forward.

Woebegone Monk stowed the half-finished trotter in his chest and ran silently forward after Long Eyebrow.

Ju Zhu fell behind tens of meters on purpose to walk shoulder to shoulder with Demon of Fire and whispered, “Demon of Fire, the two of them have an evil intention. In a while, we should join hands.”

Demon of Fire had a glint in his eyes and whispered, “Don’t worry. I know what I should do.”

“That’s good. We have been working on it for so long, so we should not finally make it become the profit of others.”

The dwarf said sullenly.

“As long as you keep your promise to give me the Fire Marrow Bead, I won’t compete with you for the Treasure.”

Demon of Fire knew that he was the weakest among the four of them. He also wanted the Treasure, but compared with the Fire Marrow Bead that could help him increase a 30% possibility of reaching the Sky Martial Arts Realm, the Treasure was not that attractive. This was also the reason why Ju Zhu felt no worry to ask him to cooperate. After all, no matter how good the Treasure was, it was not as important as making a breakthrough for his own practice.

“Don’t worry. I am cruel, but I always keep my promises.”

Ju Zhu took a devout oath to promise.

Demon of Fire nodded. Ju Zhu had a twisted character, but he always kept his promises. Otherwise, he would not risk his life to meddle in this trouble.

“Crunch!”

Phaeton stopped on a dirt road. Sullen-faced, Ding Ning stepped out of the car and looked at a red boulder. It should not be far from here to the place where Xiaoyao and Mosquito lost their way. That hill was just in front.

Yet, in his mind, he obviously had the light-spots of the pets with intelligence such as Luoxue’s pet and black panther as coordinates, but he had not shortened the distance between him and them after driving for 10 minutes, and he could not even summon Air Force Wing as if something invisible had blocked their connections.

He remembered that the red boulder in front appeared 10 minutes ago, but he had now met the red boulder again.

The reason why he chose to use 10 Vajra Charms to protect his car when he drove it to bump the concrete mixer truck away but did not stay to see who wanted to kill him was that his Soul had not recovered and his fighting ability was not half of his normal level. From the place where Ju Zhu and his accomplices stayed, he vaguely perceived the danger, so he ran away without a fight.

“Is this a wall built by ghosts or a matrix?” The current strange situation made him feel a little inexplicably panicky.

“I can’t be panicky. I must keep calm. I should deal with every event calmly.” He forced him to calm down. As he tried to look for solutions in the Inheritance of Matrices, he took out the red coral and began to constantly make charms in case of unexpected situations.

The mutant red coral was very precious. Using it to make charms was a waste indeed, but compared with his life, it was only an object. No matter how he did not want to use it, he had to use it.

Thus, he felt a little regret that he had not prepared a few cheap jades to use as the charm-making material, but when he thought that the better the quality of the material that runes were put into was, the more powerful the created charm was, he would not feel regret anymore.

In the Inheritance of Matrices, there was a basic maze matrix, which was similar to the one in front of him, but according to the Inheritance, the one in front of him was somewhat not like that, making him confused. “Is this a higher-level matrix which he could not see through with his current basic knowledge of matrices?”

Ding Ning was quite confused. In theory, with the matrix inheritance of Xuan Ji, which was a great achievement of matrices, he should be able to see through the matrix in front of him.

What he did not know was that Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist had a talent in matrix-making. In his early years, he got an incomplete map of matrices, which he studied for decades. Then, he made a few simple matrices with the ideas he learned from it, so he won the title of Master of Matrices.

After all, that was only an incomplete map, and he had not studied matrices systematically, so the matrix he made was somewhat strange, so much different from the real one, but accidentally, it made Ding Ning misunderstand that this was a higher-level matrix.

Ding Ning did want to open the higher-level of the Inheritance of Matrices immediately. Unfortunately, he could not open it no matter how hard he tried.

Xuan Ji’s Inheritance of Matrices was used to look for the successor for the Xuan Nv Tribe, but they were afraid that their successor would reach for what was beyond his grasp, so they set the restriction that if a successor could not fully understand the principles of the basic matrices, he would not be able to open the next higher-level inheritance.

This led to the situation that although Ding Ning had got the basic inheritance of matrices, he could not open the next higher-level inheritance because he had not understood the principles of the basic matrices.

This is also like the situation that a person can drive a car skillfully and perhaps knows a car is made of an engine, a chassis, a body, and electrical equipment, but he has no idea about why the car can run when these components work together.

This meant that Ding Ning could copy the patterns and make the basic matrices, but he did not understand their principles. This was also the reason why he could not see through the matrix Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist had made.

Since he could not find the core of the matrix, Ding Ning focused all his attention on making charms. Since he was sure that he could not see through the matrix in front of him, this meant that the person who had made the matrix had a good knowledge of matrices, and what he could do was make as many charms that had relatively powerful attacking and defending powers as possible, getting ready to fight.

On a clearing not 100 meters away from him, Long Eyebrow and his accomplices looked at the red coral in his hands, their eyes glinting.

One needed to use lots of resources to practice martial arts. A warrior who wanted to raise his practice to a higher level must consume a sea of resources, and there was no exception for the Ancient Warriors.

Especially for the individual practitioners like them, they were only poor guys compared with those of great powers who used the resources of their families’ earthly industries to practice, and each and every piece of the resource they needed was got by risking their lives.

The red coral was useless for their practice, but they could sell it. With money, they could not only live more comfortably, but also participate in the auction or buy the resources they needed through other channels.

Even in the Ancient Martial World, no one thought their money was too much. After all, some great things that they were even jealous of would also appear in the earthly world occasionally.

“This little guy has so much highest-grade red coral! This is a wealthy man to loot.”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist muttered as his eyes glinted.

“Very wealthy, but what is he doing now?”

Compared with the red coral, Ju Zhu preferred the Treasure because it was not sure if they could buy the Treasure with money.

“Ghost Charm? Is this guy a warlock?”

Woebegone Monk narrowed his eyes and said with confusion. For the ordinary Ancient Warriors, the uncanny ways of the Spiritual Masters and Warlocks were really scaring.

“He can’t be a warlock. Even if he is, what’s the problem? In my matrix, he is only a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist said confidently.

“Long-Eyebrow Taoist, is there anything that your matrix can do apart from trapping him inside?”

Demon of Fire asked courteously because he was also awed by the mysterious matrices.

“Of course, if my matrix can only trap him but cannot do any other thing, I am not the Master of Matrices.”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist raised his head, showing an expression of looking down upon the entire world.

“Long-Eyebrow Taoist, please show your magical power and let us broaden our horizon.”

Showing a glint in his eyes, Ju Zhu flattered him deliberately. As for matrices, he had no idea. If he could learn something more about Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist’s ways, he could get prepared when they turned hostile to fight each other.

“Right, Long-Eyebrow Taoist, we all know that you are a master of matrices, but we have never witnessed the powers of your matrices. Now let us broaden our horizon.”

Demon of Fire rubbed his hands and entreated him with an anticipated expression.

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist’s vainglory was greatly satisfied, so he did not linger anymore, took out 8 small flags from his chest, and said proudly, “These are flags I refined. As long as I put these flags on the locations I designated, the Eight Wild Flame Matrix will be launched, and that little guy will be burned to death.”

“Will the Treasure be burned out?”

Ju Zhu asked worriedly.

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist looked at him dismissively. “Ju Zhu, it’s not a big deal that you are short, but is your brain also small? If the Treasure can be burned out, can it be called Treasure?”

“Taoist Brother, you are right. I think too much.”

Ju Zhu gave a shy and dry smile. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes gave an ice-cold light, and he made a venomous vow silently, “B*stard, you dare to insult me. When I get the Treasure, I will cut you into pieces.”

“You guys, give me a hand, put these flags on the designated locations I arranged, and then I will launch the great matrix to kill this man.”

Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist and Woebegone exchanged nearly undetectable glances, giving an ice-cold light. In their opinion, the Treasure was already the thing in their pocket, and now it was time to kill Ju Zhu and Demon of Fire.
