The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2436

Carson Flores had encountered fire crocodiles before, and not just one.

These fire crocodiles weren’t particularly large, but they were thick-skinned and had powerful attacks. Even Carson Flores, being a Great Land Fairy, wouldn’t be able to withstand a bite from one.

Bred in extremely harsh environments, these fierce demonic beasts love hot places like magma pools and will proactively attack intruders entering their territory.

The first time Carson Flores encountered a fire crocodile, he casually struck with a slash, yet this blow, enough to shatter mountains and seas, left only a faint white mark on the fire crocodile.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Carson Flores summoned the Emperor Seal and hurled it at the fire crocodile, smashing a dozen times. But instead of killing the fire crocodile, the commotion attracted more fire crocodiles.

The fire crocodiles emerged from underground, leaping into the air, and surrounded Carson Flores in an attack.

Seeing this, Carson Flores directly used the Earth Escape technique to dive underground and was surprised to find these fire crocodiles looking confused, seemingly having no idea why he had suddenly disappeared.

Curious, Carson Flores conducted multiple experiments, eventually confirming that when he performed the Earth Escape, merging with the earth, the fire crocodiles would lose their sense of him.

These creatures were brutal and strong, but their perception abilities weren’t as formidable as their strength, which was largely related to the magic of Earth Escape.

When a cultivator uses Earth Escape to enter the ground, they essentially become part of the earth. In such circumstances, unless the opponent possesses exceptionally terrifying perception skills, they cannot detect Carson Flores’ location.

Faced with everyone’s questions, Carson Flores was quite puzzled.

With so many people here, are there really no cultivators who have mastered the Path of Earth and can perform Earth Escape?

Or maybe such individuals exist, but they are concealing this valuable information?

Carson Flores quickly pondered over this, while calmly responding, "I ran fast enough that they couldn’t catch me. I kept luring them away multiple times until they became too lazy to chase me."

Those surrounding him clicked their tongues in amazement.

"Running fast? Is that really possible?"

"It makes sense because someone indeed managed to lure away all the fire crocodiles, allowing their comrades to swiftly collect the crystal stones."

"Did he do it alone?"

"What’s wrong with doing it alone? As long as he runs fast enough and leads the fire crocodiles away, he can quickly return. There’s a time gap to exploit. If one attempt fails, multiple tries can succeed."

"For a lone person, there are plenty of strategies. As long as he runs fast enough and doesn’t fear being surrounded, he can try things like setting up a formation first to lure the fire crocodiles in, use the formation to hinder their return, and by the time they break through it and get back, the crystal stones will have been collected."

"This young fellow is quite fortunate."

Carson Flores ignored them and turned back to his residence.

He intended to study the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones.

Carson Flores sat cross-legged and took out a Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone, holding it with both hands, and began absorbing its fire essence using the Sun True Scripture.

The scorching flame instantly illuminated the entire cave.

Such pure fire essence!

Carson Flores was thrilled and found that training with the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone greatly accelerated his cultivation.

No matter whether he can leave here, this is an opportunity to collect a large number of Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, and even if there’s not enough time to train now, he will have more than enough time after leaving.

Though this place is the domain of the red-clothed woman, with a calculated plan and calling upon True Sage Grand Void for help, the chances of escaping should be high. The only problem is that the Ethereal Pagoda remains in her possession, posing a significant concern.

As Carson Flores was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed something and quickly turned his head.

Unsurprisingly, as if a ghost, the red-clothed woman silently emerged from the void, casually seating herself on a stone bench.

He no longer felt the initial alarm but couldn’t help muttering internally: you always appear so stealthily, aren’t you afraid of catching me unclothed?

"I heard you found six clusters of Phoenix Fire?"

Carson Flores nodded, "Yes."

The red-clothed woman smiled, "Quite lucky. Judging by how you’re absorbing the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, have you mastered the Way of Fire?"

Carson Flores candidly replied, "My innate divine ability is the Five Elements Great Escape."

The red-clothed woman showed a surprised expression, "Five Elements?"

Carson Flores nodded, "Yes, by practicing fire attribute techniques, I can absorb the fire essence from the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones to enhance my cultivation."

The red-clothed woman asked with interest, "What cultivation technique are you practicing?"

Carson Flores answered, "Sun True Scripture."

The red-clothed woman exclaimed in surprise, "The Sun True Scripture is the core cultivation technique of the Sun Divine Palace. Only inner disciples are permitted to practice it; how did you come to possess it?"

Carson Flores responded, "A thief stole the technique, fled to a Middle Immortal Realm, and feigned death to escape. He was severely injured and set a trap to lure adventurers hoping to absorb their essence blood. However, I disrupted his plans and killed him, so the Sun True Scripture fell into my hands."

The red-clothed woman chuckled lightly, "You are indeed fortunate, but you’d better hope that you don’t encounter people from the Sun Divine Palace, or they’ll surely trouble you..."
