The days within the Secret Realm were extremely peaceful. Out of this group of people that had temporarily settled down here, everyone was able to find what they wanted to do.

Whether it was picking herbs, refining pills, or recuperating from injuries, everyone's work was different.

What was similar was that they couldn't help but look at the hill behind the thatched cottage every day.

A strange and slightly fearful expression was revealed on his face.

It was all because of two terrifying monsters occupying that spot.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze blew down from the sky, and the throbbing of the nether flames within the deep pit instantly increased in intensity. Ye Dongfeng immediately felt a strong wave of heat pouncing toward his face.

Ye Dongfeng immediately took a deep breath, and temporarily activated the Spiritual Energy in his body to block this annoying heat wave.

This was already the third day that he was staying in the deep pit. However, he was currently only sitting at the edge of the pit, a little farther in, not daring to sit too close.

The fire dancing in the center of the deep pit was simply too astonishing. Even before he was injured, Ye Dongfeng didn't dare to go near it completely.

Not to mention, he was still injured.

However, after three days of continuous absorption, he could clearly feel that the Hellfire in his body had grown much stronger.

As the Hellfire grew stronger in his body, the injuries on his body also quickly recovered.

He hadn't thought that he would be able to recover from his injuries without the use of healing medicine. Ye Dongfeng thought with a little sigh. However, after thinking about it seriously, he also understood the principle behind it.

This was all because his overall strength had increased.

Knowing that absorbing the Hellfire could not only strengthen the Hellfire in his body, but also increase his overall strength and speed of recovery, Ye Dongfeng no longer hesitated. He immediately closed his eyes and greedily absorbed it.

Little by little, the power of the Hellfire was absorbed by Ye Dongfeng through his breathing, breathing, breathing, breathing, skin, meridians, etc.

The cluster of Netherworld Flame in the middle of the deep pit also slowly shrank at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Beside the deep pit, Small Animal was lying down quietly. At this moment, his injured claw had already been wrapped with a piece of cloth by Xiao Ya.

As for this piece of cloth, although it had tried its best to resist at the beginning, it was too lazy to bother with it after getting used to it.

Black eyeballs glanced over his shoulder from time to time, as the herb pickers around the thatched cottage sorted out all kinds of spiritual medicines.

It didn't have the slightest interest in the actions of these people. The precious treasures of the herb pickers were like weeds in its eyes. It could eat as much as it wanted in the past.

Only the ball of flame in the deep pit could cause it to lose interest.

After a long while, Ye Dongfeng slowly exhaled a mouthful of impure air and opened his eyes to look at the Small Animal at the edge of the deep pit.

Seeing that it had woken up and had a look of joy, Ye Dongfeng immediately revealed a smile on his face, his right hand gently snapped his fingers, and a small wisp of black flame flickered on his fingertips.

Seeing Ye Dongfeng's actions, Small Animal who was originally lying lazily on the ground, immediately stood up, his eyes staring straight at the flame in Ye Dongfeng's hand.

Swoosh!

With a light flick of his finger, the flame immediately separated itself from Ye Dongfeng's finger and flew straight towards Small Animal.

When the Small Animal saw the flames that were charging towards him, not only did he not dodge, he even cried out loudly. He opened his mouth, and swallowed them all in one gulp.

Stand up, open your mouth, swallow, enjoy!

This was not the first time he had swallowed the Hellfire in one go.

Ye Dongfeng couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw Small Animal smack his lips and lie down again, waiting for his next meal.

This little thing truly did not have any good intentions when it brought him to this place. It really treated him as a breeder … Ye Dongfeng muttered.

Previously, he did not know that this Small Animal could swallow the Hellfire as food.

In the beginning, it had been surrounding the deep pit, constantly crying out to him and occasionally opening its mouth.

Ye Dongfeng was also at a loss on what to do, but after that, under the little fellow's various hints, Ye Dongfeng finally knew that it was going to eat the Hellfire.

At that time, this gave Ye Dongfeng a big shock, but when he thought back to the first time he met the Small Animal, when he directly swallowed the Ice-fire Lotus, Ye Dongfeng immediately understood.

This was a fire-type beast that relied on swallowing fire to survive!

However, normal fire attribute Demonic Beast could only consume some fire attribute spirit medicines at most. It was Ye Dongfeng's first time seeing it live by directly consuming fire.

The fire within the Netherworld Flame could be several tens of thousands of times more violent than normal spiritual medicines. Just what kind of origins do you have?!

Ye Dongfeng thought back to everything that had happened since he met this Small Animal, and he was unable to answer this question in his mind.

Inside the thatched hut, there was no introduction whatsoever regarding this Small Animal.

And none of the people in the herb collecting team recognized this Small Animal.

If only he had known earlier, he would have interrogated those people at Sky Demon Kingdom. Perhaps, they would have known some clues.

After thinking randomly for a while, Ye Dongfeng finally shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes to once again absorb the Hellfire.

Finally, half a month later, at noon, everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

This was because they suddenly felt that the last bit of heat in the air had completely disappeared within the forest.

Did I succeed?

Some people could not help but stretch their heads and look towards the top of the hill.

Old Wu, if you're so curious, why don't you go up and take a look yourself … Someone teased.

The one called Old Wu looked at the Small Animal crawling on the hill and after a moment of hesitation, he shook his head.

Whoosh!

Just as everyone was puzzled, the sound of heavy breathing suddenly came from the top of the hill.

Following that, a shout came out, and Ye Dongfeng's tall and straight figure jumped out.

Haha … He succeeded!

A joyous voice could not help but come out from the figure's mouth. That voice no longer contained the exhaustion from the time when he was injured.

Roar!

Small Animal, who had been crawling on the ground all this time, could not help but let out a roar of laughter after hearing the figure. His roar resounded through the entire forest and instantly alarmed the Demonic Beast s in the entire forest.

In an instant, the Secret Realm that was usually unusually quiet started to become restless at this moment.
