Flint Vanguard
Background
Odd rocks with fiery streaks, from a fiery river they rise,
Forged in the blazing inferno, under the scorching skies.
With loyalty, they shape rivers and move mountains high,
Unmoved by the world's chaos, they stand firm and nigh.
Bodhisattva Guanyin was set to visit New Mount Sumeru to discuss important Buddhist matters with Bodhisattva Lingji. As Red Boy was always eager to serve Guanyin, he accompanied her on the journey.
Upon arriving at New Mount Sumeru, they learned that Bodhisattva Lingji was still away on a trip to Yellow Wind Ridge. Thus, Guanyin turned towards Yellow Wind Ridge. Given the urgency of the matter, she instructed Red Boy to wait for her by the river valley.
As Red Boy wandered alone by the river, he noticed a massive rock guai standing majestically by the water's edge like a giant guard hound. The rock guai diligently moved stones and piled dirt into foothills. Intrigued, Red Boy approached to get a closer look and, after careful contemplation, committed the sight to memory.
Several years later, due to the Bull King's return to Flaming Mountains, Guanyin suddenly summoned Red Boy and instructed him to fulfill his duties to his family, allowing him to return to his homeland.
As time passed, travelers passing by the base of Flaming Mountains saw a large flint rock guai, as big as a house, standing prominently by the fiery river. It tirelessly moved stones and dirt, its diligent demeanor resembling that of a giant guard hound, leaving people in awe and wonder.
Location
From [Field of Fire](/field-of-fire)'s Ashen Pass III, proceed forward. There will be a giant ball rolling back and forth. You will need to navigate between the small safe spaces on the side, while crossing the path. Around end, there will be a big fire on your right side. Eventually [Zhu Bajie](/zhu-bajie) will knock the ball and [Pingping](/pingping) will extinguish the fire. Now turn around and go back the same path. With the fire extinguished, you can go left. Proceed downhill and the Flint Vanguard will be on the main path.
Upon its defeat, the Flint Vanguard will drop [Samadhi Fire Crystal](/samadhi-fire-crystal), [Knot of Voidness](/knot-of-voidness) and [Refined Iron Sand](/refined-iron-sand). It will also drop its [Spirit](/flint-vanguard-spirit).
