Chapter 8: “Hua Che was so startled, he even dropped his water bag!”
Wen Yuan was just about to use an open flame spell when Zuo Qi stopped him.
“It’s still early ah? Already butting in for a mere Soul Sucking Bat, are the standards of Ling Xiao Temple this low?”
Unlike Zuo Qi, Wen Yuan was a good person. He replied frankly, “If we wait any more, someone will die!”
But Zuo Qi disapproved with contempt. He said with a sneer, “Seeking immortality and pursuing the Dao is an arduous path to undertake. If they can’t even pass a small trial like this, how can they face demons in the future? How would they confront their own heart demons, or survive their heavenly calamities?”
Hearing this, Wen Yuan was at a loss for words. “But……”
Lu Yao hurried over to explain, “Young Lord Wen, please be at ease. When night fell, I deliberately made the flames of the bonfire burn exuberantly. As long as they are clever and quick-witted, they will understand what my foreshadowing actions meant.”
Wen Yuan still didn’t feel very reassured.
Zuo Qi snorted disdainfully, “Hah, even the Sect Leader’s eldest disciple is this stupid and cowardly. It’s no wonder Ling Xiao Temple is now in such a slump.”
Meanwhile, Chu Binghuan flew over before landing in front of Hua Che.
“Stand in front of the bonfire and don’t move.”
“Come stand around the bonfire.”
The two of them spoke practically at the same time.
When their gazes met, the atmosphere surrounding them became somewhat stagnant.
It wasn’t strange for Chu Binghuan, who had grown up in a famous sect, to know common sense about the cultivation world. But Hua Che had not yet worshipped a sect or formally began training, so how could he……
Chu Binghuan asked, “You know that the Soul Sucking Bat is afraid of fire?”
“These things are called Soul Sucking Bats?”
Looking as though he was scared witless, Hua Che pointed at the “moths” that were randomly flying around. He trembled once before saying:
“They really look so scary ah! But, uh, I saw Immortal Master Lu let the flames of our bonfire burn pretty prosperously. He even prepared a lot of firewood, and just this amount will be enough to keep the fire burning for at least two days. I thought, maybe something afraid of fire would approach us, so that’s why he made these preparations in advance.”
Needless to say, Chu Binghuan knew Hua Che was clever and quick-witted. It was natural for the youth to discover these clues.
After everyone who had originally been panicking saw how Hua Che and his companions were safe and sound, they all caught on to what was happening. One after another, the people drew closer to the bonfire.
The Soul Sucking Bats didn’t dare to approach the flames. They could only hover around them with reluctance.
When Wen Yuan saw how everyone had discovered this trick, he finally let out a sigh of relief. Throwing out an open flame spell, he instantly annihilated more than twenty or so Soul Sucking Bats.
Wen Yuan said, “Remember, fire is the weakness of Soul Sucking Bats. This can somewhat be considered as one of your first classes before you enter the sect!”
Zuo Qi sneered, “To be scared into this state for something as small as this. What a group of trash.”
Elbowing Lu Yao, Zuo Qi said, “The only people who can barely meet the standards is that person wearing red, the one wearing white, and Mu Rongsa ah!”
