Chapter 217: Searching for the Holy Dragon (6)
Under normal circumstances, the maximum temperature that the human body can endure is around 50 degrees Celsius. If we consider localized temperatures, it could reach about 100 degrees Celsius. However, after hundreds of Fire Hounds pressed against the surface of the Type 99 main battle tank, combined with the fact that steel is a good conductor of heat, the internal temperature of the tank rose sharply in a short period. The heat made Ye Huan and Ye Luo remove their Tactical Suit jackets, and even the air inside the tank felt suffocating.
To prevent the various Grenades and the Type 99 main battle tank's shells from exploding due to the extreme heat, Ye Huan had no choice but to convert them back into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and store them in the Summoning Book. After wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he wanted to observe what was happening outside. If this heat continued, they would likely be cooked alive before the Fire Hounds even launched their attack.
Feeling a mix of frustration and confusion, Ye Huan plopped down onto the observation seat behind the panoramic observation mirror designed for monitoring outside conditions. The next moment, he felt a searing pain in his backside as if it were about to be scorched.
"Could it be that the tank was dragged into lava?"
After rubbing his sore rear with his right hand and confirming that he hadn't burned any blisters on his skin from the scorching seat, Ye Huan finally turned his gaze back to the observation mirror. He leaned in cautiously, afraid to touch the surface of the Type 99 main battle tank.
It was important to note that Fire Hounds were named for their bodies being covered in a layer of continuously burning flames. Unlike Fire Armored Dragons, this flame resembled that produced by burning wood, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Thus, when Ye Huan looked through the observation mirror at the environment surrounding the tank, he almost believed he had spoken too soon. However, upon further reflection, he realized they were in the Northern Liang Mountain Range, not near any volcanic crater; there was no reason for flames to suddenly erupt.
A memory flashed through his mind of being chased by Fire Hounds alongside Ye Luo. Summoning an Infrared Sensor, Ye Huan conducted a scan and saw numerous red dots displayed near the Type 99 main battle tank. He immediately understood where the high temperature inside was coming from and frowned. Meanwhile, due to rising temperatures, Ye Luo stood frozen in place and said to Ye Huan, "Young Master, if this keeps up, we might end up as roasted ducks!"
"What do you suggest we do?" Ye Huan replied irritably. Utilizing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from his Dantian along with techniques belonging to Cultivators, he uttered four words: "Universal Rain!"
Universal Rain was a spell developed long ago in Eastern State by powerful beings who united to address frequent droughts in certain areas of the world. This spell allowed them to generate rainwater by sending out large amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from their center outward—a truly remarkable spell.
Under Ye Luo's watchful gaze, droplets began forming in Ye Huan's hands before turning into a continuous stream of water that poured down onto the base of the tank.
Sizzle...
As rainwater met the hot steel plates, both Ye Huan and Ye Luo initially felt a wave of coolness. However, after three seconds passed, they noticed puddles forming on the ground evaporating entirely due to contact with the heated steel plates, creating large amounts of steam.
This was merely a temporary solution; with those Fire Hounds outside still present, unless Ye Huan could turn everything upside down, cooling down their hiding place—the Type 99 main battle tank—was nothing but a pipe dream. Moreover, with all that steam resembling a sauna experience, it seemed like they wouldn't be able to stay inside much longer...
Wiping the increasing sweat from his forehead, at that moment, Ye Luo could no longer hold back. He turned to Ye Huan and said, "Young Master, let's get out of here! Even if it means fighting those Fire Hounds, I don't want to become a roasted duck here!"
"Fight? With what?"
Also wiping the sweat from his brow, Ye Huan took out the Summoning Book and searched through it. After realizing that the Apache Attack Helicopter and Dongfeng III might be able to inflict some damage on the Fire Hounds, he made up his mind. He looked up at Ye Luo and asked, "Ye Butler, if we leave this place, do you have confidence in pushing all the Fire Hounds back at least five meters in an instant?"
"Well..."
Showing a hesitant expression, Ye Luo understood that injuring the tough and flame-protected dogs was indeed impossible. However, while it would be difficult to push them back, it was still worth a try. He nodded.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll count to three, and we move immediately! One, two... three!"
In an instant, he transformed the Type 99 main battle tank into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and stored it in the Summoning Book. The next second, both Ye Huan and Ye Luo shouted simultaneously: "Come forth, Apache Attack Helicopter!" and "Sword Fire Burning the Sky!"
Every Professional had their own life-saving moves, and Ye Luo was no exception. The Sword Fire Burning the Sky was something he had developed during his idle time at the Ye Family. It unleashed a powerful impact in an instant using thousands of sword energies infused with fire elements transformed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Although it couldn't effectively harm the Fire Hounds since they were also fire-type creatures, the immense force generated could still be quite useful.
Centered around Ye Luo, hundreds of crimson sword energies shot out from his body. Moreover, having just advanced from an Eighth-Level Warrior to Ninth Level himself, he didn't even expect that each sword energy would leave a long fiery tail behind it, making them look exceptionally dazzling as they struck the approaching Fire Hounds. They were all sent flying away, landing at least ten meters away from him and Ye Huan.
Caught off guard by Ye Luo's attack, the Fire Hounds were indeed surprised by how powerful these two were. However, due to their flame protection on their bodies, this level of damage was negligible. After rolling on the ground a couple of times, each Fire Hound shook its head and stood back up again, baring its teeth as they lunged once more at Ye Huan and Ye Luo.
Just as suddenly as the Type 99 main battle tank had appeared earlier, when Ye Luo saw one of the Fire Hounds lunging toward him with its gaping maw wide open, Ye Huan had completed summoning the Apache Attack Helicopter. Amidst flashes of electric Fire Stones, steel plates rapidly formed together into the shape of an Apache Attack Helicopter. The two of them found themselves right inside the cockpit of the armed helicopter!
Feeling the jolts from the Apache Attack Helicopter while hearing the sounds of Fire Hounds continuously crashing against it, suddenly—bang! A Fire Hound leaped onto the front of the helicopter and stared at them with its crimson eyes through the tempered plastic glass.
"Take this! Die!"
Having long felt annoyed by their situation, Ye Huan repeatedly pressed down on the missile launch buttons of the Apache Attack Helicopter. One by one, Hellfire Missiles locked onto several densely packed Fire Hounds near them before swiftly launching from the helicopter's missile racks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each explosion of Hellfire Missiles ringing out, four or five dozen Fire Hounds were sent flying into the air around the Apache Attack Helicopter. Even the helicopter itself sustained considerable damage; its tail section was completely blown apart.
He glanced to the left and right, noticing that the remaining Fire Hounds seemed to have retreated in fear to a distance from the Apache Attack Helicopter. He pressed the flight button, and as Ye Huan piloted the Apache Attack Helicopter to ascend about a meter above the ground, he also pressed the cannon button.
The scene was even more shocking than that caused by the Hellfire Missiles. Shells rained down on the ground, dirt flying everywhere and smoke billowing up. Many towering trees, caught in this unexpected disaster, collapsed one after another. If it were the Twenty-First Century, Ye Huan would likely be accused of destroying the natural environment. However, at this moment, he couldn't care less. As the cannon on the Apache Attack Helicopter claimed more than twenty lives of the Fire Hounds, the remaining ones finally scattered, fleeing into the dark depths of the forest without looking back, quickly disappearing from Ye Huan's sight.
"Are we saved?"
As he controlled the Apache Attack Helicopter to slowly land on the ground, he exchanged a glance with Ye Luo. Both of them saw a glimmer of relief in each other's eyes after surviving their ordeal. After resting for a while and not seeing any magical beasts pass through the area, Ye Huan finally stowed away the Apache Attack Helicopter. He and Ye Luo stood on the ground, looking somewhat disheveled. Not only were their arms bare, but their faces were also covered in sweat mixed with dirt, clearly indicating how close they had come to death in such a short time.
Fortunately, the remaining Fire Hounds had already left. After wandering around for a bit, Ye Huan collected a substantial number of Level Seven Fire Elemental Beast Cores from the fallen Fire Hounds—exactly sixty-six of them, which felt quite auspicious.
After washing his face with some water and changing into clean clothes, Ye Huan had to summon Military Rations for Ye Luo due to his exhaustion. The first time Ye Luo tasted this food made him particularly satisfied.
Once Ye Luo finished eating, Ye Huan carefully stored all sixty-six Beast Inner Pills into his Spatial Ring and then said to Ye Luo, "Ye Butler, once we’ve rested enough, let’s hurry on our way! I believe we must be close to the center of the Northern Liang Mountain Range."
"Okay."
Nodding in agreement, Ye Luo didn't dare to delay further for fear of attracting even stronger magical beasts. Together with Ye Huan, they continued into the dark thicket.
Five minutes after they had left, a man dressed in a snow-white robe appeared at their previous location. Upon seeing the corpses of numerous Fire Hounds scattered across the ground, a cold smile spread across his handsome face as he leisurely followed along the path that Ye Huan and Ye Luo had just taken…
