C17 Heart Protecting Fire Bead

"Thank you for your reminder, Great Elder. I know what to do. "

Zhang Heng nodded his head gratefully.

In fact, he was not afraid of Zhang Chuan and Zhang Liufeng since he had the system.

However, the system was his secret. It was not convenient for him to tell Zhang Maosen, but he was grateful for what Zhang Maosen said.

"In less than a month, the competition of the three families will begin. How confident are you?"

Zhang Maosen took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Heng with anticipation.

"Great Elder, don't worry. I will definitely be able to get rid of my previous shame in this competition. I will take the lead and win glory for the Zhang family!"

"Good, good job!"

Zhang Maosen nodded his head and smiled. He took out a box from his pocket and opened it. A palm-sized fiery-red bead appeared in front of Zhang Heng.

At the same time, a scorching heat wave hit his face.

"This is?"

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up. He could tell that this was a treasure with just one look, but he quickly raised his head and looked at Zhang Maosen with a puzzled expression.

"This is the Heart Protecting Fire Pearl. It's a first-grade treasure. I want to give it to you as a gift to protect yourself. When you are in danger, the Heart Protecting Fire Pearl will automatically release a protective barrier to protect your life. "

Zhang Maosen said solemnly.

"What!? Great Elder, you want to give this treasure to me?"

Zhang Heng widened his eyes in shock.

A first-grade treasure was worth a thousand gold coins. Even Big Old Zhang, Zhang Maosen, cherished it. But now, he was willing to part with it and gave it to Zhang Heng.

"Before your father left, he told me to take good care of you. I will do my best. . . "

Zhang Maosen looked at Zhang Heng with a smile and handed the pearl to Zhang Maosen.

"My father?"

Zhang Heng scratched his head and asked, "Great Elder, can you tell me where my dad and mom went?"

Zhang Maosen sighed and gently shook his head, "Child, the time is ripe. I will naturally tell you. Now is not the time. "

As he spoke, he coughed a few times in pain.

"Great Elder, what happened to you?"

Zhang Heng looked concerned and went forward to support him.

"Sigh, I am old now. My illness is like a landslide, but a small cold has tortured me for several months. . . "

Zhang Maosen's face showed sadness, and his eyes suddenly became firm. "But don't worry, as long as I still have a breath left in me, I won't allow Zhang Chuan to harm you!"

"Great Elder. . . "

Zhang Heng was filled with gratitude. He looked at Zhang Maosen as if he was looking at his own grandfather.

"Oh right, Great Elder, I have a hundred-year-old Lingzhi that has a miraculous effect in repelling the cold. You can use it to make tea and drink it. I think you will recover in a few days! "

Zhang Heng suddenly thought of the hundred-year-old Lingzhi. He immediately took out the Lingzhi and handed it to Zhang Maosen.

"This is. . . The hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum?"

Zhang Maosen was stunned. He looked at Zhang Heng in surprise. "Where did you get it from?"

"I was lucky today and dug it out at the foot of a mountain in the hunting grounds. "

Zhang Heng randomly made up an excuse and laughed foolishly.

"Good boy, you really have good fortune. "

Zhang Maosen smiled with relief. He reached out and tore off a small piece of Lingzhi meat from the Lingzhi. Then he stood up and said, "I don't need much Lingzhi for my cold. You have just recovered from your serious illness and need to nourish your body. This Lingzhi is a great supplement. You can keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave. "

"Grand Elder, I. . . "

Zhang Heng picked up the hundred-year-old Lingzhi from the table. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Maosen lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Looking at the departing figure of the Great Elder, Zhang Heng couldn't help but become absent-minded.

The person who truly cared about him in this huge family. . . There was only Zhang Maosen left.

The wind was blowing. Zhang Heng shrunk his neck, turned around, and walked into the room. He picked up the Heart-Protecting Orb on the table and carefully examined it.

"Ding! Detected a Heart-Protecting Orb. It can be fused with Red Sun Longsword. Do you wish to merge with it?"

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"What!? This Heart Protecting Orb can be fused with Red Sun Longswords?"

Zhang Heng opened his mouth wide in shock and repeatedly called out to the Goddess, "Goddess! Goddess! What the hell is this?!"

"The Heart Protecting Orb contains a rich fire element. It's similar to the Red Sun Longsword, so it's very normal for it to be able to fuse with the Red Sun Longsword. "

The Goddess said faintly. "The Red Sun Longsword is only a second-grade treasure now. If it's fused with the Heart Protecting Orb, it should be able to transform into a third-grade treasure!"

"A third-grade treasure?"

Zhang Heng instantly beamed with joy, and he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.

What kind of concept was a grade three treasure?

One should know that in the entire Zhang family, only Zhang Shouchuan had a second-grade treasure. A third-grade treasure was extremely precious, and no one in the Zhang family had ever seen it before.

Generally speaking, only the higher ups of powerful sects, who possessed experts of the seventh or eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, could possess a Third Grade treasure.

A small family like the Zhang family wouldn't dare to ask for a treasure of the third rank.

But now, the Red Sun Longsword in Zhang Heng's hand had the chance to transform into a treasure of the third rank!

"System, immediately fuse the Red Sun Longsword and the Heart Protecting Orb!"

Zhang Heng ordered without hesitation.

The Red Sun Longsword was a second-grade treasure, and the Heart Protecting Orb was only a first-grade treasure. After fusing with it, one would be able to obtain a third-grade treasure's Red Sun Longsword. To Zhang Heng, this was definitely a huge profit.

"Ding! The Red Sun Longsword and the Heart Protecting Orb are starting to fuse. . . "

The system notification rang in his ears.

Zhang Heng looked down and saw the Red Sun Longsword, which was emitting a hot aura, slowly floating up. An orange glow was emitted from the blade of the sword, and it instantly covered the Heart Protecting Orb.

Then, from the inside of the Heart Protecting Orb, countless fire elemental particles that could be seen by the naked eye crazily poured into the Red Sun Longsword.

After a quarter of an hour, the fire elemental particles within the Heart Protecting Orb were finally absorbed and shattered with a bang.

The Red Sun Longsword, on the other hand, was completely blood-red in color, and it emitted a scorching hot aura. It buzzed and trembled. . .

"Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully raising the quality of the Red Sun Longsword. The quality of the Red Sun Longsword has been raised to the third grade! '"

Very soon, a clear and melodious system notification sound rang in his ears, causing Zhang Heng to be overjoyed.

"Come!"

Zhang Heng grabbed the Red Sun Longsword and felt the warmth in his hand. He raised his hand and waved it a few times.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Red Sun Longsword carried a terrifying fire element energy and instantly cut through the sky, slashing out fire blades one after another.

Boom. . .

The blade of the blade carried a raging flame as it slammed out of the door, directly shattering a fake mountain in the courtyard.

"Young Family Head, what happened?"

Servant Girl Xiao Yaen stumbled into the room and asked with a pale face.

"Nothing. I am just practicing my sword. "

Zhang Heng smiled faintly.

"Practicing my sword?"

Xiao Yaen was stunned and looked up at the sky. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Who practiced the sword at night?

"By the way, Young Family Head. Zhang San from the horse farm requests an audience. "

Xiao Yaen bowed and reported.

"Zhang San?"

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up when he heard the name. He waved his hand and said, "Let him in. "

Zhang Heng had a good impression of Zhang San, the coachman. Although he was Young Family Head, he didn't have many friends in the Zhang family. Especially after he lost his cultivation base, everyone avoided him as if he was a plague.

Zhang San was the only one who kept looking for him to play with. The two of them drank to relieve their worries and addressed each other as brothers.

"Young Family Head, please save me!"

Under Xiao Yaen's lead, Zhang San entered the room and fell to his knees with a puff. He was so anxious that his face turned red. "My horse farm was attacked by wolves. The fence could not hold on for long and will be taken down. . . "

"Wolves?"

Zhang Heng went forward and helped Zhang San up. He raised his eyebrows. "How many wolves are there?"

"There are at least twenty or thirty wolves. "

Zhang San wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked at Zhang Heng with hope.

Facing the fierce wolf pack, Zhang San had no ability to resist. He could only hope that Zhang Heng would use Young Family Head's power to send a group of guards to guard the stable. Only then could the property of the stable be preserved without suffering any losses.

"San Er, bring me to take a look. "

Without saying anything, Zhang Heng put on his coat and strode towards the horse farm.

"Young Family Head, are you alone? Aren't you looking for the guards?"

Zhang San was overjoyed, but he quickly looked at Zhang Heng in surprise.

Guard team?

Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled.

The guards of the Zhang family were Zhang Chuan's personal guards. Although he was Young Family Head, he didn't have the authority to command them. Other than that, Zhang Heng also had his own selfish motives. In Zhang Heng's eyes, every wolf was a tempting experience bag! How could he give it to someone else?

The horse farm covered thousands of acres, and there were hundreds of horses. They were all tall and big horses.

When Zhang Heng and Zhang San arrived at the stables, the hundreds of horses were neighing crazily. The sound of horses galloping could be heard everywhere. It caused the ground to shake.

"Tsk tsk, such a big formation!"

Zhang Heng couldn't help but look up.

"Awoo. . . "

Suddenly, a wolf's howl was heard.

"Oh no, the wolf pack broke through the fence and started attacking the stable!"

Zhang San was shocked and rushed into the horse farm in a flurry. He picked up two big sticks and instinctively wanted to throw one to Zhang Heng, but he found that Zhang Heng had already rushed into the horse farm.

"Wolves? Hehe, these are all experience bags that came to me. . . "

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up. He directly summoned Red Sun Longswords from his inventory and impatiently rushed towards the wolves.

Normally, the pack of wolves would not attack the herd of horses in the stables. However, there were exceptions to everything. The pack of wolves that attacked tonight must be extremely hungry, so they focused their attention on the stables.

Fortunately, they were all grassland wolves. An adult grassland wolf only had the strength of Fighter 4-dan, and Zhang Heng was enough to deal with them.

By the time Zhang Heng arrived at the stable, the wolf pack had already bitten a hole in the fence of the stable. There were at least 20 to 30 wolves that rushed into the stable, crazily chasing after the group of horses.

Over a hundred tall and big horses fled in all directions in panic.

Soon, a relatively short horse fell behind and was isolated by the wolves.

The alpha wolf was as strong as a calf and took the lead to pounce forward. The rest of the wolves followed closely behind. Very quickly, the horse was pressed to the ground and bitten to death.

"Bastard, go to hell!"

Zhang Heng saw that he had lost a horse. He was so angry that he waved the Red Sun Longsword and directly plunged it into the stomach of a wolf.

With a 'Chi' sound, the Red Sun Longsword pierced through the wolf's body. Before the blood could flow out, it was burned into charcoal by the Red Sun Longsword.

"Ding! Congratulations to host for killing wild wolf. Obtained 200 experience points! '"

The system notification rang in his ears.

Zhang Heng had succeeded in his attack. Without stopping, the Red Sun Longsword in his hand stabbed towards Zhang Heng once again. Another wolf.

The Ash Wolf nimbly dodged the spear.
