Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 3008

As he charged up the mountain, Fade immediately felt a special kind of energy pressing down on him.

It felt like a scorching and unpleasant smelling blanket that weighed on the crowd who were on the mountain. It slowed everyone down.

In fact, the higher they went, the greater the pressure. This resulted in the climbers' pacing to decrease in speed.

"It seems like this elixir core is stronger than I expected!"

Fade, who also felt the brunt of the energy, was not worried. Instead, there was a smile on his face.

After all, this weight meant nothing to him. On the contrary, the greater the pressure, the better the quality the elixir core was.

With a slight stir inside him, he picked up his speed. He quickly advanced up the mountain as he braved through the blazing force and raining molten lava. Compared to his speed, the other climbers were much sluggish.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

"Who is that guy? How is he so fast?"

"Can't he feel that oppressive force?"

"I can't believe it. It's only been a few minutes and he has already caught up with me."

Fade ignored the discussions that went on in the background and continued his climb.

It was also during this moment that Hexgon and the others who had followed after Fade also arrived at the foot of the mountain. They immediately began to climb up.

They barely made it up to the mountain and quickly felt the pressure. They instantly understood the gravity of the situation and hurriedly circulated the energy within their meridians to counter the burning pressure force. Boom! Boom!

The volcano continued to erupt. More and more lava appeared, to the point that it dyed the sky red.

The molten lava that sprayed into the sky scattered into countless tiny hot splatters. It descended from the sky and flame after flame began to ignite.

On the ridge, the people were like ants, struggling to climb up under the huge pressure and the rain of fire.

Huff! Huff!

Fade's movements were surprisingly agile. He surpassed one competitor after another and was the first to reach the top of the volcano.

As he stood at the top of the mountain, he looked down and saw a terrifying sea of billowing, scorching lava.

As soon as he took a closer look, he noticed that in the center of the volcano was a cluster of crimson molten lava that was brighter than the surrounding magma. "Is that the elixir core?"

Fade asked, sounding doubtful.

With another boom, the volcano exploded again.

That cluster of crimson lava was sprayed into the air. The surrounding lava gradually dispersed, revealing a fist-sized sphere.

Everyone's attention was focused on it at once.

"The elixir core!"

"The elixir core has appeared!"

"We have to fight for the elixir core!"

Everyone was excited at that very moment.

Ignoring the surging pressure and the rain of fire, everyone exerted every ounce of their strength and tried hard to rush up to the elixir core.

Fade, who was the nearest to it, moved the fastest. A layer of crimson vital energy enveloped his body. He then ignored the surrounding lava that filled the sky and dashed towards the core. The others were shocked and angry when they saw this.

"Lundie Chen! Stop!"

Of course, Fade didn't care about their screams. He rushed to the elixir core directly and reached out to grab it.

However, just as he was about to succeed.

The volcano suddenly erupted with a deafening bang again.

A surge of lava shot up into the sky like a geyser. The waves of energy that were swept into the air pushed the elixir core away. This pushed the core out of Fade's range.

He shifted his direction and tried to chase after it.

It was during this moment when an angry roar rang out.

Suddenly, a red lava snake burst out from the pool of lava and pounced on Fade while it snarled.

The others were also shocked by the sudden appearance of this huge snake.

Soon enough, someone recognized the python.

"This is the Lava Python, the vicious beast that guards the elixir core!"

"You cannot seize the elixir core unless you kill that huge python!"

"Hurry up and kill this Lava Python. It's a peak Rank 5 vicious beast. Its entire body will make good loot."

Fade didn't think too much of it. The moment he saw the python, he immediately took action. A red stream of light came down and sliced through the snake.

The python shuddered as a wound

that was half-a-meter long appeared on its red body. Lava-like blood oozed and sputtered out of it. Its huge body contorted in mid-air and half of its body plunged into the lava. The python opened its bloody mouth and roared furiously at Fade.

It then rushed towards Fade again.

This attack had taken everyone present by surprise.

This was a Lava Python after all, a peak Rank 5 vicious beast, and yet, Fade injured it, using only one move. Just how formidable was Lundie? Fade, on the other hand, was also slightly astonished.

He wasn't surprised that he'd been able to injure the Lava Python. Rather, he was bewildered by the fact that he hadn't killed it in one move.

Despite the fact that no matter how

strong this giant python was, it was only a Rank 5 vicious beast. To him, it was not a big deal at all. He had was no

killed several Rank 5 vicious beasts

along his travels previously.

He initially intended to split the Lava Python in half with that one move just now. It resulted in a flesh wound instead. This was what surprised him. However, after pondering about it for a while, he immediately understood the situation.

This Lava Python was the guardian beast of the elixir core, which meant that it had fire attributes. In Fade's case, he, who practiced The Kong Fu of Jiu Yang, also had fire att@butes in his positive energy.

Therefore, the damage from that blow just now was almost reduced in half, which resulted in him not killing the snake with one strike.

Of course, this was not a major issue to him. Since one move was not enough to kill it, he could always attack it a few more times.

The energy on his fingertips surged, and the long red sword was formed rapidly. He was ready to attack again.

However, just as he was about to make his move...

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. There was this unspeakable sense of danger, slithering up his back like a cold snake.

This sense of danger had Fade give up his attack on the Lava Python. He turned around and swung his long red sword in a downward motion. Sizzle, Sizzle!

The flames from the long red sword landed on a patch of bushes.

The green bushes immediately started burning and emitted a sizzling sound.

As the sizzling sound went on, strange fistsized insects contorted while they flew towards Fade. They spewed out streams of green liquid that threatened to engulf him.

"It's poisonous!"

He immediately determined that these bizarre looking insects were poisonous. He retreated, formed a ball of energy in his left hand, and instantly lit it mid-air. It transformed into a wall of fire.

The strange insects collided into the wall of fire and burned almost instantly. Their bodies twisted as they were incinerated into piles of ashes and fell from the sky.

Simultaneously, he kept on going as his right hand repeatedly pointed towards the bush. More than ten streams of energy instantly shot out and flew to where he had aimed just now.

Poof! Poof!

The sound of blood splashing could be heard twice before a short figure dashed out of the bushes. They were making a hasty retreat, putting as much distance between them and Fade as possible. On his left shoulder and arm, there were two wounds that were gushing blood.

The short figure pressed on his wound as he shouted to Fade, "Are you Lundie Chen? I am..."
