Chapter 985The flame pillarʼs heat became stronger as he subconsciously took a few steps back. It was so intense to the point he felt his skin was burnt by the heat. Rodin retreated to a bearable distance, ten meters away from the flame pillar. At this distance, he was far enough to see the travelerʼs party, which was still next to the pit.        

The traveler managed to shock him once more. It was as if the traveler was not affected by the extreme heat from the fire pillar at all. He even saw the Emperor put his hand into the fire pillar. It took him a while to collect his composure and realize something.    

The Guild Master gazed at the fire pillar, ʼI did not recall the Blazing Horn Minotaur having such skill before. Does that mean this fire pillar belongs to the red-haired woman?ʼ He frowned his brow, ʼI donʼt think the fire will work on the Blazing Horn Minotaur?ʼ    

It was common knowledge that the fire would do minimal damage to the elemental fire being unless the red-haired womanʼs fire was much stronger than the minotaurʼs. Rodin gulped a mouthful of saliva as he stared at the fire pillar nervously. The minotaur that had been haunting the town for months, giving him and the other adventurers a traumatizing experience, would meet its demise. At least, that was what he hoped for. He wanted to trust the traveler to remove the threat to the town.    

The Guild Master glanced to the side, staring at the travelerʼs party intensely. He tried to see the travelerʼs expression, intending to read them through their visage. He became less nervous after noticing the travelers were calm and collected. That meant they trusted the red-haired girl would kill the Elemental Minotaur.    

”Arghhhh…” Rodin heard a pained grunt from behind. He looked back and saw Vina curled up into a ball, covering her face from the heat. He quickly realized that his captain could not endure the heat from the fire pillar. The Guild Master did not hesitate, rushing toward Vina and getting her out of the fire pillar range.    

”What was that, Guild Master?” Vina asked after she reached a safe distance from the fire pillar. Her face reddened from the heat, ”I donʼt remember the Blazing Horn Minotaur has such a skill.” She thought the fire pillar was the Elemental Minotaurʼs skill.    

”Thatʼs not the minotaurʼs skill. I think that is Lady Liangʼs skill,” Rodin furrowed his brow as he sensed the heat diminished. In the next ten seconds, the fire pillar disappeared. That was the signal that the battle was over.    

”Stay here. I will check what happens there,” After saying that, the Guild Master rushed toward the pit. He could still feel the heat permeating from the ground.    

Whoosh!    

Liang Suyin came out of the pit before Rodin could arrive. The Guild Master halted his rush and gazed at the thing on Liang Suyinʼs hand. He immediately recognized the thing in her hand. It was the Blazing Horn Minotaurʼs horn. The horn was still blazing red, looking like steel that had picked up from the furnace.    

”The bullhead leaves one of his horns after I killed it,” Liang Suyin handed the horn to the Emperor, ”It might be a precious material for the smithing. We can give it to the dwarf.”    

Tang Shaoyang received the horn. The heat from the horn was nothing for him. He furrowed his brow after observing the horn in his hand. The detection did not work on the horn, and there no was no information popped upon touching it, ”Or maybe a junkie, but I will save it for the dwarf.”    

He stored the horn in the inventory and then looked toward the shocked Guild Master. He approached the leader of the adventurers in Murika Town with a slow step, ”How is it? Will you entrust the remaining Epic and Myth Rank quest to us?”    

Rodin snapped out of his thoughts as he met with the Emperorʼs eyes. For some reason, the figure in front of him became like an insurmountable mountain. Too high for him to reach, and his heartbeat suddenly raced up as he realized something.    

If Liang Suyin was so strong as to be able to kill the Elemental Minotaur, the monster he and his people could not kill within five minutes, ʼThen how strong would the Emperor be?ʼ He would never find out the answer unless the man himself showed the window status to him. At the same time, he was greatly relieved that he did not offend the traveler, or else the town might disappear for real.    

”Ah… Ahh… Yes…” Rodin nodded his head repeatedly. For the first time, he lost his composure in front of the traveler. The thought of antagonizing or even displeasing the travelers caused his spine to shiver. He had reached one conclusion, as long as it was not unreasonable, he would comply with everything the traveler requested, ”This should be enough proof to convince The four captains.”    

ʼI hope Vina does not do something stupid.ʼ With the thoughts, he glanced to the back. Vina herself shook with how quick the Elemental Minotaur was killed. She ran to the edge of the pit, looking into the pit.    

The bottom and the wall were scorched red. The gush of heat hit her face, but she did not care. She tried to locate the Elemental Minotaur, but she failed to find a single monster inside the pit. The pit was supposed to be the minotaurʼs nest. The guild estimated around two hundred and fifty minotaurs dwelt in this pit, yet she could not find a single minotaur alive. The bone throne at the center of the pit also disappeared.    

After a while, Captain Vina reached the same conclusion as her Guild Master. Her body shuddered a little bit as she remembered how she had treated the traveler in the last few days.    

Tang Shaoyang noticed the fear of these two people. He merely shrugged. Even though he could sense the fear of these two people, he could not tell what they thought. He was not going to bother to find out either. Nothing is more important than the hundred quests.    

”Then letʼs head back. We will take and finish the remaining Epic and Myth Rank quest,” Tang Shaoyang paused for a moment, ”If we complete those two quests, it should not be an issue for the guild to rank me up to Myth Rank Adventurer, right?”    

He asked the rank up, so he did not need to make a name for himself in the next city. With the Myth Rank badge, they could skip taking the Epic and Myth Rank Quest in the next city. He did not want to go through the same trouble to take the Epic or higher rank quest.    

”Of course,” Guild Master Rodin agreed with no hesitation, ”In fact, I will rank up your party rank to Myth Rank and your individual rank to Myth Rank once we are back in the town. After your party completes the remaining high-rank quests, the guild will rank Lady Ava, Lady Liang Suyin, and Sir Goldien up to Myth Rank too. Your remaining party members will be ranked up to Epic Rank.”
