"Damn it! I was too reckless."

Alice cursed herself and took out five Qi Pill. These weren't as high as Ken's Qi Pills, but they were enough to refill her Qi Reserve

But even that wasn't instant. So, she would need to run away from those rock creatures while recovering her Qi.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful stream of fire rushed towards her. It left a fiery trail over the ice before melting the surface while reaching her.

Alice gritted her teeth and jumped sideways.

She managed to dodge the attack with her instinct.

But she knew it hadn't ended there. These creatures could control the fire stream by just tilting their heads and moving it around.

The rock creature that was shooting a fire stream turned its head, and the flame moved towards Alice.

An idea flashed in her eyes.

'While they can figure out their target and attack accordingly, they are still far less intelligent creatures.'

'I can use this to my advantage. Otherwise, I will be besieged from all directions.'

Thinking about it, she turned around and rushed towards another rock creature.

Since all the rock creatures were chasing her, they were next to that rock creature.

And, when she turned around, it followed after her.

The fire stream kept moving towards the other rock creatures, but most importantly, it was roasting Alice.

Since she wasn't using her Qi to move, the attack was reaching her before she could escape.

And being burned by this flame was hellish.

She could only grit her teeth and follow her plan.

But when she reached closer to the rock creature, the flame suddenly disappeared.

She stopped.

With a look of shock and confusion on her face, she paused.

At this moment, the rock creature in front of her opened its mouth and a bright red Qi burst out of its mouth, turning into a massive stream of fire.

Boom!

The stream of fire struck her with so much force that it was enough to send her flying while burning her in this flame.

"Ahhhhh!"

Alice felt agonizing pain. Almost every part of her body was being burned by this flame.

Her scream was so loud that even Ken was disturbed for a moment. Just when he thought of helping her, he realized someone else had already done it for him.

[Fire Punch]

A massive fist made out of purple flame moved towards the rock creature that shot Alice in the face.

The flame was so hot that it started burning the body of the rock creature until turned its body into molten rock.

The fire stream also disappeared, and Julia shouted.

"Elaine, you go help Alice, I can hold these!"

"No!"

Just when Elaine was about to agree, she heard a loud voice from afar. It was none other than Alice who had landed on the ice.

Her entire body had turned into charcoal colored from burn, and some parts of her even showed red muscles from the scratches that tore apart her skin.

Despite that, she stood up.

Her legs were trembling, and her body was weak as a stick, but she didn't care.

She would rather kill herself than become a burden in this place.

First, she was saved by Ken. Then, she got saved by Elaine. Then, she was saved by Ken again.

She got stronger, but even now, she needed help from Elaine. If this continued, how could she be equal to Julia and Elaine?

"I can deal with them."

She gritted with her black lips, and a blue flame emerged from her body.

When this flame appeared, it started removing her burnt skin.

"Ugh!"

She clenched her fist, bearing the pain as the charred skin kept falling off, revealing red muscles all over her body.

It was bloody.

Seeing this, Elaine finally decided not to care about Alice and focus on her job.

Alice was loud, reckless, and short-tempered. But she was also brave, compassionate, and strong-willed.

She didn't need to use her flame to remove the charred skin. She could just let her flame heal the burnt skin.

But she did this to speed up her recovery. Her flame was the flame of resurrection.

It was a flame that could regenerate her from a drop of blood if she reached a certain level.

That's why removing the charred skin, she could recover faster. Although this method was painful, it would save some of her Qi.

There were still eight remaining rock creatures. They were targeting Eliane after her attack, but Alice's roar still caught their attention.

And since she was weak, they decided to focus on her.

One of them even released the fire stream towards her.

This time, she was facing them. She immediately dodged it.

But the other rock creatures followed after the first one and attacked her with their Fire Stream.

'Damn it! I can't dodge all of them. Wait! I have an idea.'

She gathered the recently absorbed Qi in her Dantian in her palm and released a mass wind blade towards the ground.

She released three more slashes and finally stomped on the ground and revealing a large cut on top of the ice.

She pulled it to one side and raised it in front of her.

Bang!

The fire stream struck the block of ice that was almost ten meters thick.

Even though the fire was strong, it didn't manage to melt the ice instantly. It was working, but it wasn't working fast.

Alice wasn't just blindly thinking this time. She knew this ice was gonna be tough since it could even freeze the magma.

Just the heat from this place was enough to burn Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators into ash.

Although Ken did use a part of Dragon Qi while creating this ice, it didn't change the fact that this ice was able to freeze fire and magma.

She had dug her fingers into the ice, holding it from the middle.

Because she had pressed her half-healed fingers inside the ice, she was feeling burning pain in her fingers.

Even though they were inside a block of ice.

She gritted her teeth, bearing the pain as she kept healing her wounds with the blue flame and recovering her Qi.

She could feel the ice melting. Although this process was slow, it was faster than she could recover her Qi.

Thinking about it, she decided to concoct a new plan.

'Wait a minute! I still have that martial art. Although I haven't mastered it yet, I do the basics.'

'If I use it, I can blind them enough to separate them. Then, I can take them out individually.'

She thought about it for a moment and waited until the ice was almost two meters thick.

Then, she rushed forward.

Yeah, she moved the block of ice towards those rock creatures.

At this moment, she could feel the ice melting faster than before. She also saw several of those fire streams disappearing from her sides.

Instead, they were just focused on this block of ice.

By the time she reached in front of it, the ice block was only a few inches thick. She threw the ice block towards them and raised her palm.

A lot of green Qi gathered in front of her palm, turning into a ball of wind.

She threw the ball of wind towards the front, and the moment it left her palm, it exploded on top of the ice, releasing mini slashes everywhere.

Boom!

The flame and wind turned ice into steam. As the steam covered the surroundings, Alice jumped to the side.

She could still feel those creatures releasing their fire streams in different directions, but due to the steam, they couldn't see her.

This gave her a new freedom to move around.

Dodging those fire streams, she moved towards her first target.

She released a similar wind ball on her palm and rushed in front of the rock creature.

It released the fire stream towards her direction a few times, but she managed to dodge it.

Of course, she didn't dodge every single one of them, but she didn't care.

She gritted her teeth, bore the pain, and moved forward.

[Wind Sphere]

She slammed the wind ball on the face of the creature, against its mouth, releasing a fire stream.

When it collided, the wind ball exploded. The mini wind blades merged with the flame and exploded everywhere.

It not only destroyed the body of the rock creature, but due to the explosion on top of the ice, it also released a lot of steam.

'Now is my chance!'

As soon as the new steam covered those rock creatures, Alice rushed in front of two rock creatures.

She extended her arms, conjuring two wind balls on both palms as she blasted them on the face of the rock creatures.

Boom! Boom! Bang!

At this exact moment, one of the rock creatures released a massive fire stream towards her direction, blasting her with the full force of its fire.
