Heilong then made some fireballs and placed them around the ice prison.
The temperature, which was very cold, is now beginning to rise and return to normal.
“Come immediately we leave this place,” take Heilong.
“Wait! The fireball you put around your ice prison is actually for what?” mao Shizi asked curiously while pointing at one of the fireballs.
“The fireballs will melt the ice prison I have made within two hours and the two things will turn into steam. Didn't you ask me not to kill that Komodo Demon, if he continues to be in my ice prison then he will freeze to death,” Heilong replied.
“Two hours seems more than enough. Alright, let's get on with the journey.” immediately
Heilong immediately took back the wagon that Mao Shizi had stored in a Goa and resumed their journey towards the Fire Bull Kingdom.

The Fire Bull Kingdom.
King Hou Gongniu was sitting on his throne.
He had a body as red as fire and a pair of golden-colored horns.
King Hou also had an extremely large and gallant physique. His body size was twice as large as the Golden Feather Lion King's body size, perhaps this was what allowed him to defeat the Golden Feather Lion King in a wrestling match.
In front of King Hou had lined up neatly the palace officials.
“Prime minister, has the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom already sent tribute this month?” exclaim King Hou.
A young Demon Bull immediately walked forward slowly then saluted. “Report King, the envoy from the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom has not come here yet. But, the King of the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom had already sent a letter and informed him that the person who delivered the tribute had departed earlier this morning. They should still be around the border area.”
“Good. If the Golden Feather Lion King dares not to send tribute, then I will raze that Kingdom with earth,” King Hou grinned. “Prime minister, tell the King of the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom that from next month the tribute he has to pay will double because soon the Fire Bull Kingdom will enter the dry season.”
“Good your honor. Slave will soon write a letter and send it to Golden Feather Lion Kingdom.”
The Prime Minister immediately returned to his place.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps of a soldier who was walking hurriedly into the meeting room. He is General Han. The general in charge of guarding the border area of the Fire Bull Kingdom.
“General Han, is there a big problem so you have to run in a hurry to get into this meeting room? Are there any Demon attacking the border region?” asked King Hou staring intently at the newly arrived General.
“No one is noble. But, servant heard there was a sound of a fight inside the Sky Scraper Forest. It seems like there is a creature who is fighting with the Demon King Komodo,” replied General Han.
“Bod*h once the creature. Did he not know that the poison from the Komodo Demon was extremely deadly. If exposed to poison from the Komodo Demon, the affected body part will decay slowly and will explode once the poison reaches his heart,” said King Hou.
“General Han, you are tightening guard in the border area because there is a possibility that the Komodo Demon is moving here to vent his anger,” continued King Hou.
General Han immediately left the Palace and returned to the border region after getting an order from King Hou.

After passing through a river, Heilong and Mao Shizi finally reached the border gate of Fire Bull Kingdom.
They were a little surprised because the gate was guarded by hundreds of Demon Bulls with full weapons.
“Are the guards at the border gate of Fire Bull Kingdom indeed this tight?” heilong asked in a whisper.
“No. There were usually only dozens of soldiers guarding this gate. It looks like there will be someone who attacks this Kingdom therefore they strengthen the guard in the border region,” replied Mao Shizi.
Heilong then directed the eight Lions that pulled his wagon to slowly enter the gate.
“Stop!! Whoareyou? And for what purpose did you enter the Fire Bull Kingdom.”
Suddenly there was a voice that ordered Heilong to stop.
The soldiers who heard the voice, also directly pointed the weapons in their hands towards Heilong and prepared to attack him.
Heilong who felt threatened immediately took out the White Taring Sword in his right hand and descended from the wagon.
Mao Shizi immediately caught up with Heilong and stopped him by whispering something. “Save your sword back because it's not time for you to act. Remember our original plan. If our disguise is revealed, then the plan that we have neatly arranged will fail. Let me take care of this.”
Mao Shizi immediately took out the medal his father had given him and raised the medal to the top so that all the soldiers who surrounded them could see it.
“Let your weapons down and let them pass. They are both not enemies.”
General Han immediately ordered his men to give way after seeing the medal that was in Mao Shizi's hands because the medal was proof that they were both emissaries of the Golden Feather Lion Kingdom to deliver tribute requested by King Hou.
“It turns out the medal was very useful,” said Heilong riding back on the wagon along with Mao Shizi.
The two of them directly entered the territory of the Fire Bull Kingdom. General Han also asked ten soldiers to escort their way to the Palace's kitchen.
“Can you tell me the exact position of the place we're going to?” heilong asked while controlling the eight Lions.
“The place we are going to is actually a storehouse of groceries. The barn was located behind the Palace kitchen and the Chief Chef was the person in charge of the place. Around there are about five hundred soldiers guarding the warehouse for twenty-four hours,” replied Mao Shizi.
“Only for groceries, the King of Fire Bull Kingdom willingly put hundreds of soldiers. Though this Kingdom has absolutely no shortage of vegetable and fruit plantations,” said Heilong.
“Because he considers food higher than a gold. He already had everything because he was a King from a very rich Kingdom. But, he had a huge appetite. So there is nothing more meaningful to him in this world than food,” replied Mao Shizi.
Heilong just nodded his head while looking at the expanse of vegetable and fruit plantations on the left right side of the road.
The two of them finally arrived at a gate made of silver. But, since they were now accompanied by some of the soldiers of General Han's men, then there was nothing preventing them from passing through that gate.
