nThe baby-fire monkey momentarily froze in its tracks as it was panic-stricken by the sudden appearance of its enemy in front of it.

nMoreover, its body was completely covered in blood from the previous cuts from the outer sect disciple's sword.

n

"Little monkey, you have the potential to break through the limits of a normal fire monkey; however, I am going to kill you now,

"

nWhile saying that, he struck his sword at the baby fire monkey, which was frozen in its tracks and it closed its eyes as it was already tired from dodging the sword strikes from the outer sect disciple.

n'Boom'

nJust when the sword strike was able to land on the baby-fire monkey, a huge explosion came from the above.

n

"What is it? Am I discovered by some high-level outer sect disciple or an elder?

"

nWithout a second thought, he immediately moved away from the baby-fire monkey and ran away into a tunnel inside the small canyon.

nThe reason he thought like that was that only they were capable of breaking the barrier he had set in the small canopy.

nSo, without any hesitation, he immediately escaped from there.

n'Thud'

nAt the same time, the baby fire monkey fell onto the ground.

n....

nA few minutes before,

n'Slam'

nThe fire vine seed continued to slam against the barrier for the 10th time before it was bounced back at Henrick.

n'Huh? What happened?'

nAfter continuously slamming against the barrier for 10th, the fire vine seed no longer continued its slamming and hovered in front of Henrick as though it was saying something to him.

nHowever, Henrick was unable to understand it and asked for it.

nTo his reply, the fire vine seed in the mid-air emitted some heat waves.

n'Ding,

nMaster, the fire vine seed is requesting some of the pure internal fire energy from your dantian as it wants to increase its power to break the barrier in a single move.

n'Ding,

nDo you agree to its request?

nYes

/ No

nAlong with the heat waves from the fire vine seed, two system notifications came to Henrick's head which explained the reason for why the fire vine seed had suddenly stopped slamming against the barrier.

n

"Sure. I will agree to its request,

"

nEven though he was still short on one percent pure internal fire energy in his dantian to complete his daily missions, he agreed to supply some of his pure internal fire energy to the fire vine seed.

nAt the moment, all he cared about was the life of the baby fire monkey and as for the rewards for the daily missions, he could complete them tomorrow or day after tomorrow or anytime he wanted.

n'Ding,

nTransferring 0.5 percent of pure internal fire energy to the fire vine seed. Please wait.

n'Ding,

nTransfer complete,

nAs soon as he agreed to send some pure internal fire energy, he felt something was moving in his dantian; however, before he could feel any discomfort, it vanished without a trace.

n'Huh? Only 0.5 percent? Moreover, the transfer is already completed,'

nAt the same time, another two system notifications came to his head that made him understand that the transfer was already finished.

nThe reason the system transferred the internal fire from his dantian to the fire vine seed directly because his mastery over the internal fire energy was still not enough to transfer out of his body yet.

n'Now, go and break it,'

nHowever, Henrick didn't care about that and ordered the fire vine seed to destroy the barrier that was obstructing him from entering the small canopy.

nAfter receiving the 0.5 percent of the pure internal fire energy from Henrick, the small sprout on the fire vine seed increased a little bit.

nAs soon as the fire vine seed received Henrick's orders, it rushed at the barrier covering the small canopy.

n'Boom'

nUnlike before, this time, the fire vine seed was able to destroy the barrier and as soon as it did, a huge explosion came out as the barrier was destroyed.

n

"Good work,

"

nHenrick praised the fire vine seed for its work and immediately retrieved it back into his dantian because he could sense that the fire vine seed had become weak after the collision with the barrier.

n

"Spark, where are you?

"

nAfter storing the fire vine seed into his dantian, he immediately jumped into the canopy while shouting the name of the bay fire monkey.

nDue to the earlier explosion, the small canopy was completely covered with black smoke that hindered Henrick's sight. So, he was unable to see what was in front of him clearly and also unable to find the baby-fire monkey.

n'Where are you,'

nHenrick stopped shouting aimlessly and closed his eyes and tried to sense the location of the baby fire monkey.

n

"There it is,

"

nSince there was no obstruction between him and the baby fire monkey, he was able to sense it within a few seconds and immediately rushed towards it.

nWhen he was within 10 meters from the unconscious baby-fire monkey on the ground, Henrick increased his speed even more and picked it up from the ground.

n

"Spark, are you okay?

"

nHis heart turned anxious when he saw the many injuries on the baby fire monkey as he tried to wake it up.

n

"I will use it,

"

nAll of a sudden, he remembered something and despite the blood all over it, he immediately hugged the baby fire monkey and muttered in a low voice, 'Ancient fire surge.'

nAs soon as he muttered that, his body started glowing with a red-light.

nAlong with the red-coloured light from his body, the environment around his body changed from cold to warm.

nThe weather at night in the twin fire mountains was a little cold and with Henrick's skill 'Ancient fire surge', it became warm and the wounds on the baby-fire monkey also started healing slowly.

nWithin a couple of minutes, the smoke in the small canopy started disappearing and the small canopy returned to its previous state as though nothing had happened in it.

n
