Chapter 359: Chapter 229 Jie Luo Will Definitely Be Very Happy (1)

The members of the former Hero Team established the Ronald Rescue Squad.

Aileen and Aili, the most outstanding thieves, excelled in hiding, ambush, assassination, and cracking mechanisms. Silf was the best archer, possessing exceptional vision and hearing, as well as a decent mastery of magic, allowing her to break various magic barriers and detect magic traps. Although her magic skills were somewhat inferior to Asina’s, Silf was more suitable for this kind of rescue operation.

They knew it was a trap.

Ronald had been their companion for many years, and if it were just that, perhaps they would be deeply saddened but would ultimately have to abandon Ronald. The Hero Team had already suffered severe losses, and it would be too heavy a blow to lose another one or two members in the attempt to save Ronald.

However, it was very likely that Lord Jie Luo’s residual soul still lingered on Ronald, at least Ronald should know who had it in the end.

As such, the importance of Ronald suddenly increased dramatically.

To save, they must save, Ronald was their good comrade and battle companion, how could they not save him?

By the way, Ronald wouldn’t have foreseen this situation, hoping someone would come to save him, and that’s why he hadn’t handed over Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment to Aileen, would he?

It’s very likely, Ronald was meticulous, and he couldn’t possibly forget something so important. It could only mean that all this was intentional on Ronald’s part, what a scheming and cunning guy.

Of course, these women didn’t know that the ashes of the man they thought cunning and scheming had already been scattered.

Under the eloquent speech of Rose Vesper, on the surface, everyone seemed filled with hope.

Then there was Muse.

"Muse has found the location, but a powerful magic seal is keeping him out. He’s a typical Berserker, knowing nothing about magic, and though he thought about using brute force to break the seal, he was worried that Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragments also inside could be damaged," Rose Vesper said quickly.

"Therefore, we need an expert in magic to go and support Muse."

Rose Vesper’s gaze turned to Asina!

Among the remaining three, Catherine had no understanding of magic at all. That left only Rose Vesper and Asina, and Rose Vesper, considering herself the core of the Hero Team... the former Hero Team, played the role of staying in command. Running errands was not within her job scope.

Asina was very astute; she could see through Rose Vesper’s little schemes in a glance and sneered at this Holy Daughter.

Hmph, foolish people.

You have no idea that the real Lord Jie Luo has already started to revive within Qin Chu’s body. Although it is only a Residual Soul at present, one day it can be fully restored. By that time, there will be no place for you by Lord Jie Luo’s side.

Gathering soul fragments would help accelerate Lord Jie Luo’s recovery, so this time Asina didn’t quibble with Rose Vesper, agreeing quickly. Meanwhile, she was calculating how to fool Muse’s eyes and get the fragment to her hands.

If she could present the soul fragment before Lord Jie Luo, he would surely be very pleased, wouldn’t he?

Rose Vesper had a hint of satisfaction on her face. Although her status in the whole Hero Team had been replaced by Violet, at least the members of the former Hero Team still regarded her as their core.

Catherine, on the other hand, said nothing. Her strength was suited for charging and combat, not for rescue or magic. The Crimson Valkyrie silently recorded everyone’s movements.

This was her most important task.

The meeting of the former Hero Team ended, with everyone harboring their own secret agendas.

...

In the tent next door.

Onions, with tears and snot running down his face, was communicating with his mother, telling her every humiliation and grievance he had suffered, exaggerating the details to his doting mother.

He believed his mother would certainly take his side.

Indeed, on the other end of the message, Onions heard his mother’s angry screeches and curses.

A smug smile spread uncontrollably across his face.

Qin Chu, Violet, you two despicable pieces of trash.

Wait and pay the price for humiliating this Saint Heir.

Onions was unaware that outside the tent there was a figure eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside: Inas.

Her brows furrowed slightly. Seeing how Onions went to seek his mother’s help after a slight setback, Inas wasn’t sure how to judge him, feeling somewhat disdainful deep inside...

But quickly, Inas shook her head. No, that’s not right, how could she feel disdain for Lord Onions? It was extremely inappropriate of her.

...

On the other side.

As the Acting Death God, who controlled the authority of Death, Ireta’s life was very busy as lives were extinguished almost every moment in this world.

Managing those Wandering Souls was Ireta’s duty.

Perhaps because the Death Aura within her had been purified by the influx of Holy Light, the girl who once seemed extremely indifferent, nearly merged with darkness, now showed a trace more vitality.

Ireta left a message, "Call my name when you need me." Then, she disappeared without a trace.

Qin Chu did not return directly to the camp either.

Just as Ireta had warned, it was unclear how effective Qin Chu’s power, which could restore Violet to normal and cleanse Ireta of the Death Aura, would be against the Fiery Flame Witch, who had gone completely mad and had been reduced to nothing but a Fire Spirit.

It was possible that Qin Chu would become a target of the Fiery Flame Witch’s indiscriminate attacks.

Nonetheless, Qin Chu had to go to Flame Mountain, and the Fiery Flame Witch had to be saved.

Even if she could not be saved, he must disrupt the Demon Prince’s plan to control the Fiery Flame Witch.

If the Demon Prince truly sealed the Fire Spirit of the Fiery Flame Witch within his body, he would become a very terrifying opponent.

As he had already conducted some investigations before, Qin Chu knew the approximate direction of Flame Mountain. Using the Space Transfer Magic Scroll, which he had prepared in advance, Qin Chu’s figure vanished from the spot and reappeared with a desert underfoot.

The ability of the Space Transmission Magic Array is really too handy.

Every time it is used, one simply needs to pray in one’s mind to a deity that is as fragile as a Bubble, and it will activate immediately.

Antia’s figure emerged from within Qin Chu, her petite and pale delicate feet treading lightly on the fine quicksand. Perhaps because of her Ghost nature, not even a single footprint was left on the ground.

In her hand, as always, she held a dark red Long Spear, with black chains wrapped around her.

On normal days, Antia almost always stayed inside Qin Chu’s body, treating his abdomen as her bedroom and seldom appearing, unless some powerful enemy emerged...

However, Qin Chu glanced around and saw only a violent sandstorm in the sky, with sand filling the air and blocking out the sun.

On the ground was an endless desert, with monotonous dull yellow in sight and no other color to be seen.

Rolling waves of heat came from below and from mid-air, making the world seem like a giant steamer.

The air in front of him was somewhat distorted and blurred.

The temperature felt to be at least fifty or sixty degrees Celsius...

For ordinary humans, this would undoubtedly be a fatal temperature, but for an entity like Qin Chu, it would cause hardly any discomfort.

Apart from this extremely harsh and terrible environment, Qin Chu did not sense any danger, so he was puzzled by Antia’s sudden appearance.

Antia, however, furrowed her brows and stood silently on the ground, a delicate little hand propping her sharp chin.

She glanced at Qin Chu from the corner of her eye and murmured softly, "Perhaps, I should also get a body?"

Antia had always existed in the state of a Ghost, but her way of existence was different from Violet’s, and she couldn’t consolidate a body that had almost no difference from that of a real person, as Violet could.

Antia had never minded this situation before, but now, looking at Antasia, Norma, Ireta around Qin Chu...

She was just a Ghost, as long as she stayed inside Qin Chu’s body, she didn’t care about other things, but she didn’t know when it started... Antia began to feel an inexplicable irritation.

This irritation peaked after the appearance of Ireta.

Antia could not understand what this irritation was, only feeling increasingly uncomfortable inside.

Shaye, who was also a guest in Qin Chu’s body, took the initiative to contact Antia and offered that they could forge a temporary alliance to deal with those shameless women getting close to Qin Chu.

Though Antia was not quite clear on why this was necessary, she still agreed to it.

And Shaye’s first suggestion was to frequently appear before Qin Chu and initiate contact with him.

Antia had just been mumbling quietly to herself, and with the raging noise of the sandstorm, even Qin Chu, who was not far away, could not hear her clearly.

"Antia, what did you just say?" Qin Chu moved closer to Antia and asked.

Oh-oh...

The sudden voice next to her ear startled Antia, who was deep in thought. She let out a cute sound from her cherry lips and, like a rabbit, bounced a good distance backwards.

Upon realizing it was Qin Chu, she placed her hand on her chest, and her mood gradually calmed. She shook her head, "No, I didn’t say anything."

Then, her azure blue eyes looked at Qin Chu with a hint of surprise, "You seem to look a little better than before."

Receiving such earnest praise from Antia, even someone as thick-skinned as Qin Chu felt a bit embarrassed. He coughed forcefully and turned his gaze towards the distance on the right.

The heat wave was coming from that direction.

Under the cover of the pervasive sand, the sky in that area was still a fiery red, with rich flames churning violently and leaping in midair.

There lay Flame Mountain.

That was where the Fiery Flame Witch resided.
