Xika opened her eyes. Then look around him.

The walls were filled with formation patterns, cracked lands, ceilings were very high rooms, and round discs that Huo Bing had attacked earlier.

.............

He thought for a moment.

Later,

"Fucking Mature Half Birds! You haven't eaten yet?"

"Indeed yet! I spent quite a lot of energy just to save you know!"

"But you didn't do anything. I hurt him pretty badly and almost killed him."

"What's? I caught the damn snake to prevent it from attacking you!"

"It was just a coincidence. You came at the last moment."

The two creatures - the human and the bird - argue back. Usually Heiliao would also come to argue or at least side with one, but this time not.

He realized something.

Huo Bing did not completely fail.

He looked around him. His outlook was different from before. Before Huo Bing shot out the formation, he stared at the wall filled with formation patterns. But now he stared at the corpse of the huge snake that tried to eat Xika's soul before.

"Hey."

He called out to Huo Bing and Xika, but they did not seem to hear.

"Hey!"

This time with a louder voice. But the two are still arguing.

"HEY!"

".............."

It's succeeding. The two stopped arguing and looked at him. They had a questioning look in their eyes that seemed to say 'What? If it's not important we want to continue our debate again.'

"It seems Huo Bing didn't completely fail."

"Of course." Huo Bing replied proudly. "I never failed. Even if."

"What's? Looks like you have sudden amnesia huh? You Half-Red Bird!"

"What's? Try saying it again!"

"The half-grown Bird suffers from amnesia!"

"Ekh-ekhem!"

Heiliao sighed for a while then returned to talk after getting the attention of the two.

"It looks like Huo Bing isn't completely-"

"Not completely failed, we know. Can proceed?"

"Hush! Don't talk like that! He was old, so he used to repeat his words."

"GRPRRRR!!!!!"

Heiliao growled loudly warning the two to be quiet.

"At least listen to me talk until it's over. Didn't you realize? Your positions are different after the formation is activated."

Huo Bing and Xika looked around them. Then they realized it. Indeed, compared to before the formation was activated, their standing position was somewhat different. They were still in the room, but the direction they looked at was slightly different.

"Do you know the cause?"

"The reform did not completely fail. He moved us, even if only a very small distance."

"What's? So the formation moved us? But just a few meters?"

"Fuckin' reform! If only that, we could too. No need to use you."

"wait. There may be another cause. Try to remember how the three snakes activated this formation."

Xika and Huo Bing were silent for a while to think.

"Those three snakes activated it simultaneously."

Huo Bing tried to think what else the three damn snakes were doing, but it seemed like that was all they were doing. There is no other technique to activate it.

As Huo Bing thought, Xika walked towards the corpse of the huge snake.

"What's wrong?"

"No. I just want to make sure the damned formation is completely broken."

After saying that, Xika took out her homemade knife. He damaged the formation by doodling it with a knife. Then he replaced his knife with a knife given by Lian Minjie. He did the same thing. He changed weapons several times before the formation was completely destroyed. No one would even know that under the scratches made by Xika there was a very dangerous formation.

"Why did you change weapons like that?"

"Whimper it." he replied of origin.

"You said before that I could forge thousands of weapons from these bones, right?"

Heiliao nodded.

"Then, how about we just carry this bone?"

Huo Bing and Heiliao were silent for a moment.

"I doubt you can put it in your spatial ring. After all, the size of that damn thing is bigger than your spatial ring can accommodate."

"You're right but......."

Xika reached into her pocket then took out Bai Feng's ring.

"Jeng Jeng! If it's this ring, I'm sure it's coming in."

Then Xika moved the contents of Bai Feng's ring into her ring, as she had many rings even though they were all low-level. Bai Feng's ring was red. The second level after purple which is the highest. Actually without even moving the contents, Bai Feng's ring was still able to bear the bones, but Xika still moved it just in case. After all he never had a high-level ring, naturally he did not know how wide the room in the ring was.

Whush!

In one blink of an eye, the huge bones belonging to the 'Great Chief' disappeared.

Xika smiled in satisfaction for successfully moving the corpse into Bai Feng's spatial ring that now belonged to her. While Huo Bing was quite surprised to see the corpse could be moved. Usually the bodies of animals that have a high position in his clan are not easily moved or carried. There was some kind of barrier preventing him from being moved.

The goal was of course to keep the corpse intact and in place, so that other clan members could find it and could be further investigated the cause of their members' deaths. But of course Huo Bing did not show her shock on her face.

"alright. Looks like our business in this place is really done. Should we try that formation again?"

They discussed for a while then decided to eat first. After all, they were one step away from this place. So there's no harm in them eating for the last time.

Huo Bing dismembered the remaining Cobra meat. It burned everything. He said they should leave as much as possible without leaving a trace. But Xika was sure it was only her reason to eat more than usual.

While waiting for the meat to burn, Xika thought of something.

"What's possible, the reason the formation didn't work perfectly before was because Huo Bing was not enough?"

"What's? I know more than enough."

"Sad. I don't want to hear that from you after failing to activate the formation many times."

"Before, because there was still a snake, it didn't work."

"Then what about that one?"

"..........."

Huo Bing was silent. He had to admit Xika's guess was right. But he didn't give up that easily. He was about to speak again, but when he opened his mouth, Heiliao already threw the half-baked meat into his beak.

"Here you go, just eat."

Huo Bing desperately tried to swallow the half-cooked meat. Actually he pretended. It is a spirit, it has no physical form. So he should have no problem swallowing undercooked meat, even raw meat is fine.

"Damn it! It's still half-baked tofu!"

"Times?" reply Heiliao quiet. "Look at it the most ripe, so I give it to you. I'm sorry." continued with a face that had no guilt at all. On the contrary, Heiliao was quite satisfied successfully making Huo Bing eat half-cooked meat.

The bird and the wolf argued again. They stopped when the meat had started to ripen. They ate together, then joked with each other, and shared their stories.

They want to spend the last time well enough. Although being trapped in this place is quite bad, but they also benefit not a little. The pills they had obtained earlier were quite helpful in their cultivation. In addition, they also get a training place that is private enough so that they can practice freely without fear of being seen by others. Especially when Xika trained her wings.

After eating, the three of them walked up to the round disc and surrounded it.

"Well, let's try together!"

Huo Bing and Heiliao nodded.

Huo Bing's body shone, then his ice and fire clones appeared. Huo Bing along with his two clones opened his mouth and gathered qi preparing to attack.

Heiliao stood with his legs slightly bent, as if about to attack. He opened his mouth and then a black hole appeared that emitted a dangerous aura.

Xika herself looked at the dish with a smile on her face. Slowly, his right eye shone and all four element symbols that were in one circle came out of his eyes and shone gathering qi.

"Wait my aba-abaku!" said Xika.

He gathered the qi for a while until he was absolutely sure that the qi was enough, then said,

"Now!"

WHOOOSSHHHH!!!

Huo Bing and his two clones fired attacks from their mouths. A burst of fire, ice and the combination of the two headed for the round disc in the center.

BLARR!!!!!

Heiliao spewed out the qi he had sucked out with his black hole. A black ray with quite a gripping aura shot out from the black hole in his mouth.

YONGQGG!!!!

The circle contained all four element symbols that came out from Xika's eyes shooting out four element attacks at once.

And the three attacks hit the round disc in the middle at the same time. The disk began to shine followed by a pattern around it at a much faster pace than before.

WHOSHS!
