Chapter 381: Lure the Snake from it’s Hole

It was not only Xue Wei who was intrigued and tempted, but even the Vermilion Birds also wanted to get access to another element.

The Vermilion Birds had an elemental affinity with Fire, but that was the only elemental affinity they had access to due to their bloodline.

Currently, Xue Wei had an elemental affinity with Wood and Fire, but he was aware that it'd be beneficial for him to get the thunder attribute too.

The more elemental affinities that one had access to, the better one's fighting ability would be. Although the affinities could not be merged, one could change between them in a flash, causing problems for their opponents if that was what one wished.

Elemental affinities were unlike Qi. Where Qi was what determined one's strength, elemental affinity was split into initiate, mediate, and advanced layers as to where one's control over the element existed.

Currently, although Xue Wei had consumed many rare treasures to raise the flame of his, and the wood element, both of them were present in the initiate domain.

He had not managed even to reach the threshold for the Mediate domain.

But he was not in a hurry. The more he used the elements and got used to the elements and the more he consumed treasures. Eventually, it would reach the mediate and even the advanced domain.

If he gained the Qilin Horn, he would be able to get a thunder elemental affinity, but that one would also be at the initiating domain.

While Xue Wei was deep in thought, they were advancing through the forest. Luoluo was leading the way, and everyone was silent as they understood the seriousness of the situation.

Usually, Qilins were not flocking animals. However, Luoluo had said that there was more than one of them. Could it be that they had all grouped up for the sake of mating, or was something happening that they did not understand?

Xue Wei was also slightly worried and on high alert, but risk and rewards went hand in hand. If he wanted a chance to gain the elemental affinity, it was worth it. Even if he couldn't get it, if he could help his friends to get it, it would be worth it.

"Someone else has been here," Xue Wei suddenly said. "It looks like the Qilins has attracted more than just us."

The others were anxious to hurry to the side of the Qilins, but Luoluo and Xue Wei continued forward in the same careful manner as before.

They were even more careful now as they knew that an ambush could be waiting for them.

When they finally reached the battleground, all of them were stunned. They had thought that they would encounter a handful of Qilins, but it turned out to be a full thirty-seven of them! This was simply unbelievable!

Fighting them was a group of experts that were not foreign to Xue Wei. It was the same experts that had teamed up with them when they were fighting the Scarlet Queen Bee.

The situation was very similar to back then, just right now, it was their group that was struggling to hold on.

"Do you need help?" Xue Wei asked as he looked at them, and they quickly nodded their heads, their leader yelling out, "We will split the horns fifty-fifty!"

He had already worked with Xue Wei before, so he did not doubt his ability, and he knew that things would be much safer with his help.

Xue Wei looked around and paused. It seemed that they were not the only two groups who had found the qilins. It was clear that another group was observing them, waiting for them to be drained of all fighting power.

"Guys, go attack the qilins!" Xue Wei ordered before he too threw himself into the battle.

Scale Shield!

Devouring Azure Dragon!

He instantly created an azure dragon from his qi, which had a will of its own. It could devour others' strength and convert it into its own, and thus it could fight for a long time.

Xue Wei had used a lot of Qi to create this devouring Azure Dragon, and the sheer size of it was overwhelming as it started attacking the Qilins.

Xue Wei also looked around before he took on the shape of an Azure Dragon.

His claws were brandished, and he was attacking with all he had, but at the same time, he continued to keep an eye on the group who did not participate in the fight.

After teaming up, the Qilins held no advantage and were slowly being killed one after another. Although there was a bit of casualty on the other side too, it was nothing compared to the Qilins.

The Chang'an Group lost one member, while the Vermilion Bird Clan had two who were severely wounded.

The people quickly removed the qilins horns, the carcasses of the beasts were also treasures, so they too were gathered by the people.

Splitting the goods fifty-fifty was easy. There were enough for everyone to get a Qilin Horn, and even have a few in reserve in both groups.

Just as the other group was about to leave, Xue Wei gestured for them to come closer.

"There is a group who is currently eying us," he said with a low voice. "I think they are trying to take our treasures from us, but they will not act as long as we are togheter. If you leave now, we will follow in half an hour.

"We got to lure the snake up from its hole, and then deal with it in one swift move."

The group leader contemplated for some time, but he ended up nodding his head. If they left alone, they were likely to be wiped out, and working with Xue Wei was quite a fortunate thing so far.

"We share the loot fifty-fifty again," Xue Wei said, a bloodthirsty grin on his face.
