So often, although the two races are in conflict, if a third party interferes, unless there is a vendetta, they usually choose to eliminate the third party first.
Of course, if they really get into a heated fight, that's a different story.
But Shi Ji didn't say much more.
A little caution wouldn't hurt.
"How about sending another Bone Spirit to scout ahead?" Jiang Yuan turned his head and asked Shi Ji.
"Alright."
Shi Ji nodded, and then a petite Bone Spirit appeared and stealthily made its way forward.
"It seems we haven't been noticed; let's move forward."
After a moment, Shi Ji spoke to Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan.
"Nezha, keep a low profile, don't be hasty."
"Don't worry!"
Nezha patted his chest and assured Jiang Yuan.
"I'm not the impulsive and reckless type."
Jiang Yuan and Shi Ji both rolled their eyes, and Mu Qianshan struggled to hold back his laughter.
"Yeah, yeah, that's right."
Jiang Yuan replied perfunctorily and then walked forward.
The reason he didn't ride the Unihorn Smoke Beast was twofold.
First, the Linglong Tower above his head provided enough protection; there was no need to flee.
Second, riding on the Unihorn Smoke Beast would make him too conspicuous and not conducive to hiding.
The group advanced quietly and soon saw the two races engaged in battle.
Compared to the Giant Troll Clan, the Fire Element Spirit Clan looked like enlarged versions of the little flame characters from a game called Forest Ice & Fire Man that Jiang Yuan once played.
However, their faces were clearer, not just a few dots and lines.
In the field, the Fire Element Spirit Clan was using Skill Cards that were Fire Attribute.
Because their innate talent was simply to brutishly enhance the power of Fire Element Skill Cards.
The innate talents of other Elemental Spirit Clans were similar, with some having stronger boosts and others, weaker boosts.
After all, individual Elemental Spirits differ from one another.
Jiang Yuan and his party had just arrived when they saw the Giant Troll Clan, with flames all over the ground, charging at three Fire Element Spirits.
But the coordination between the three Fire Element Spirits was impeccable.
Every time the Giant Troll Clan nearly reached them, they would take turns using a resistance ring of fire to push the Giant Troll Clan back.
The Giant Troll Clan wasn't stupid either, they had tried to break through in turns.
But if one charged alone, they would be concentrated on by the three Fire Element Spirits.
The giant troll lying on the ground was killed directly because of this.
"They don't seem to have any giant trolls wielding magic wands, do they?" Mu Qianshan, seeing this scene, also whispered to Jiang Yuan nearby.
The giant troll with the magic wand was a huge threat to them.
A rare giant troll in the Giant Troll Clan capable of using spell-based attacks.
The most important thing was that he could not only use energy attacks, based on the Giant Troll Clan's innate body talent, but also have very strong close combat abilities.
A true battle mage, skilled both at ranged and melee combat.
Yet, among the four giant trolls currently battling the Fire Element Spirits, not one held a magic wand.
This lack of ranged attack abilities against the Fire Element Spirits meant they were constantly being outmaneuvered and kited.
Had it not been for their strong body talent and high defensive power, they might have already been toyed to death by the Fire Element Spirits.
However, given the situation, if the Giant Troll Clan didn't retreat, it seemed only a matter of time before they would be finished off by the Fire Element Spirits.
"Retreat!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to speak, a giant troll wielding a Wolf Fang Club shouted loudly.
"Retreat?"
But why would the Fire Element Spirits let them retreat so easily?
The three Fire Element Spirits moved in unison, and after three Blue Quality Cards shone, three walls of flames surrounded the remaining four giant trolls.
The raging walls of fire would cause significant damage even to the giant trolls if they tried to force their way through.
The Giant Troll Clan hesitated, and this hesitation gave the Fire Element Spirits an opportunity.
Three Blue Quality Cards shimmered into existence, projecting three streaks of flame that quickly entwined around the three members of the Giant Troll Clan.
Flame Binding!
Jiang Yuan recognized this skill, as it was one of the more commonly used restraining skills in the Fire Element Skill Cards.
Once trapped by the Flame Binding, the three giants from the Giant Troll Clan were ensnared, leaving only the leader who had just called for a retreat.
A smile spread across the face of the Fire Element Spirit Clan member.
They clearly knew that the Giant Troll Clan chief who had just yelled to retreat wouldn't leave by himself.
"The foolish loyalty of the Giant Troll Clan!"
The three members of the Fire Element Spirit Clan burst into laughter, as if victory was already within their grasp.
"Die now!"
The Giant Troll Clan leader's eyes reddened as he charged at the three Fire Element Spirit Clan members once more.
But once again, a ring of resisting flames repelled the Giant Troll Clan leader.
The Giant Troll Clan leader roared in helpless fury, but it changed nothing.
Even as his subordinates urgently screamed at him to run.
He still couldn't abandon his underlings and flee alone.
In just a short moment, four trolls were trapped within a wall of fire, burning away to nothing.
"Ugly Giant Troll Clan, their physical strength is truly enviable."
After seeing that all four trolls had been killed, one of the Fire Element Spirit Clan members revealed a mocking smile and spoke.
"Indeed, we expended so much effort just to kill them all."
"If it weren't for the trees in the Dark Forest being impossible to ignite, we wouldn't have had to use so much energy," another Fire Element Spirit Clan member added.
"Let's go, search the corpses, we must also continue onward. The Jasmine is still waiting for us," said the third member of the Fire Element Spirit Clan with a laugh. "With that, our natural talents can advance even further."
"Jasmine?"
Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, who were about to engage their opponent, were intrigued by the Fire Element Spirit Clan's mention of the flower.
"Hold on a moment."
They hastily stopped Nezha and waited for further information about the Jasmine.
Like the Purple Ancient Ginseng, Jasmine is also a Purple Quality natural treasure.
When used by other races, it can enhance some of their natural abilities.
For races without inherent abilities, it can improve their physical attributes and spiritual energy.
Unlike the Purple Ancient Ginseng, however, there are no restrictions on using the Jasmine.
Unfortunately, as they arrived at the corpses of the Giant Trolls, they didn't mention anything further.
"It seems they won't say any more."
Jiang Yuan shook his head in slight disappointment and then signaled Nezha with a gesture.
"Capture one alive."
Nezha nodded, and the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill was activated, with the Fire-tipped Spear being charged.
The next second, the Fire-tipped Spear shot out fiercely, aiming directly at the Fire Element Spirit Clan member who was searching the corpses.
The Qiankun Ring was also hurled at the one who had mentioned the Dark Forest trees not being flammable.
At the same time, the Sky-covering Silk flew out, ensnaring the Fire Element Spirit Clan member who had brought up the Jasmine.
The Fire-tipped Spear hit its mark, but it was blocked by the Flame Armor worn by the Fire Element Spirit Clan member.
The Flame Armor activated its skill, creating a ring of fire similar to the resisting ring of flames that spread out.
However, it didn't affect the incoming Fire-tipped Spear at all.
This was a skill from the defense equipment, not an effect of a Skill Card used by the Fire Element Spirit Clan.
But the Autumn Frost completely ignored the defense equipment skill of equivalent quality and power.
In just an instant, the small fire person was pierced through the chest.
Although their bodies were composed of Fire Element, before reaching the Sixth Realm, physical attacks still damaged them as they would anyone else.
There was no immunity to physical damage.
Even after reaching the Sixth Realm and their elemental bodies advanced, they still couldn't completely resist physical damage.
They could only reduce some of the damage from physical attacks.
