Chapter 457

Red light shone from below. When Guo Shier's group passed through the thick mist, the scene below came into view. The magma flowed and steam rose. The endless magma undulated like the waves of the sea. The three were dumbfounded. Was this the Golden Flame Yuan Well?

As the three approached, the sound of surging lava could be heard clearly. This was a sea of boiling fire that stretched as far as the eye could see. They didn't know where the lava was coming from, and whether this was the Golden Flame Yuan Well or not. Guo Shier was a little confused. "What is this?"

Falconer and Luo Zhan were also puzzled. This place shouldn't be the Golden Flame Yuan Well. Could it be that this was only a part of the entrance?

This place was extremely hot. Guo Shier sat on the altar. Gusirius's tentacles danced in the air, forming layers of defensive runes. The Soul Suppressing Cauldron above his head emitted countless fine runes, blocking the heat outside. Otherwise, even if he was about to reach the eighth level, he still wouldn't be able to withstand the heat.

Guo Shier took Falconer and Luo Zhan around the sea of lava, but they didn't find anything. Falconer said, "Damn, do we have to go into the lava to find a way out?"

Guo Shier shook his head. "Impossible. I don't even know if I can withstand such a terrifying lava if I go into the lava. There must be another entrance."

Falconer said, "Let's look again … Huh, what's that?"

Luo Zhan shouted, "It's a golden-shelled insect! There are golden-shelled insects here too! "

A buzzing sound could be heard. They saw a flash of golden light in the distance. Guo Shier looked up and saw golden-shelled insects. Back in the Fire School, they had seen the power of these things. But they were weak back then, so they weren't afraid of these mutated talisman insects now. Guo Shier said, "There are a lot of them. I wonder if there are big golden-shelled insects."

Big golden-shelled insects might be a threat to them, but their strength was much higher than before, so they didn't care. Guo Shier said, "Let's go take a look. Maybe we can find a way into the Golden Flame Yuan Well." The three altars rushed over like a whirlwind.

This was a swarm of more than one hundred thousand golden-shelled insects hovering above the lava sea. As soon as Guo Shier's group got close, the swarm of golden-shelled insects immediately attacked.

These golden-shelled insects weren't high-level. Most were level seven or eight mutated talisman insects, but they could bring up streams of lava. Each golden-shelled insect could bring up a stream of lava. It was as if the golden-shelled insects were dragging a red thread on their buttocks. More than a hundred thousand golden-shelled insects could set off waves of lava, like a wall of lava.

Guo Shi 'er grinned. He wasn't worried at all. He didn't even need to use his artifact to attack. He just let out a roar and rushed into the swarm of golden-shelled insects.

The Soul Suppressing Cauldron suddenly grew to a few meters tall. Layers of colorful light rolled out. As soon as the golden-shelled insects touched the colorful light, their souls would be extracted and their bodies would fall into the lava. Guo Shier had lost interest in collecting the golden-shelled insects' bodies. Their levels were too low, and they were useless to him. In an instant, thousands of golden-shelled insects died.

The three of them moved back and forth. In just a short while, more than half of the hundred thousand golden-shelled insects were dead. A series of screeching sounds rang out, and the magma began to churn violently amidst the rumbling sounds. "A high-level golden-shelled insect is coming out!" Guo Shier shouted. When he was in the Fire School, he knew that the golden-shelled insects were controlled by high-level golden-shelled insects. After killing so many golden-shelled insects, the golden-shelled insect would definitely appear.

As expected, the lava churned violently. Whirlpools appeared one after another. As the whirlpool spun rapidly, layers of golden-shelled insects floated up from the magma. There were so many of them that it was hard to tell how many of them there were. Immediately after, a sharp squeaking sound was heard, and a few huge golden backs emerged from the magma. Then, a huge golden-shelled insect emerged from the magma.

Falconer laughed. "Ha! A big golden armor! A mutated big golden armor! At least level 13! "

Luo Zhan said, "No! This is a level 14 mutated big golden armor! "

Guo Shier was elated. "It really is a level 14 mutated big golden armor! Hehe, this thing should be worth collecting! "

"Buzz …"

Countless golden-shelled insects rose into the air. Countless thin threads of lava appeared in the air. They madly pounced towards Guo Shier and the other two. As colorful lights flashed, countless golden-shelled insects fell from the lava. The Soul Suppressing Cauldron was too powerful. The golden-shelled insects couldn't resist it at all.

Falconer's weapon turned into layers of blade shadows. All the golden-shelled insects that got close to him were minced into pieces. His and Luo Zhan's combat power was many times stronger than before. These golden-shelled insects couldn't threaten them at all.

The mutated big golden armor let out an ear-piercing screech. Its whole body floated out of the lava. This thing was a few hundred meters long. It had an oval body and runes were flashing on its back. It was different from the mutated big golden armor in the Fire Faction. This one seemed to be more powerful. There was a layer of fire lingering around its body. As soon as it came out of the lava, it attacked Guo Shier.

Guo Shi 'er called out, "This Big Golden Armor is mine!" He immediately took a fancy to the Big Golden Armor's soul and the layer of fiery aura. "Uncle Falconer, Uncle Luo, step back. I'll deal with this mutated big golden armor." He opened his mouth and spat out a crescent blade.

The Crescent Blade had been refined by the handsome old man again, and its entire shape had changed. It was not a complete crescent, but three crescent moons stacked on top of each other. Its shape was extremely strange, and its color had also turned into a deep black. From time to time, streaks of black light would flash across it, making it appear even thicker and more sinister. A baleful aura surged, and as soon as it flew out, a gloomy and cold feeling spread out.

The mutated big golden armor's attack was less than ten meters away from Guo Shier's sacrificial altar. It was dispersed by the Soul Suppressing Cauldron's colorful light. Guo Shier realized that with his current abilities, he did not need to worry about the mutated big golden armor's attack. He could not help but feel surprised. In the past, he might not have been able to deal with a level-11 or level-12 mutated big golden armor, let alone a level-14 mutated big golden armor. After all, he was now an advanced altar professional.

As the mutated big golden armor attacked, the lava churned even more violently. A few more mutated big golden armors floated out of the lava. At the same time, there were tens of mutated big golden armors. They were all level-10. They were clearly the mutated big golden armor's followers and guards. The sea of lava suddenly became turbulent like boiling water. Countless bubbles gushed out and popped. Waves of fiery aura gradually appeared on the surface of the sea of lava along with the bursting of the bubbles.

Guo Shier flew to the side of the mutated big golden armor. Compared to the big golden armor, he was like an ant compared to a sea turtle. The big golden armor's red eyes widened. After searching for a while, it finally found Guo Shier. It angrily chirped twice and spat out another stream of fire. Guo Shier silently teleported and appeared above the back of the big golden armor.

The crescent blade suddenly grew in size. The hundred-meter-long crescent blade turned into three. Guo Shier gave a light shout. The crescent blade buzzed and trembled. It turned into three black lights that broke through the air and slashed down.

The mutated big golden armor hissed. Countless runes appeared on its back and merged with the fire. In an instant, it formed a layer of protection.

With three thunderous sounds, the protective barrier formed by the Fire Fiend was shattered. The fire was swept up by the Soul Suppressing Cauldron's colorful light and absorbed into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. Guo Shier felt the fiend soul beast in the Soul Suppressing Cauldron give an excited roar. It swallowed the fire in one gulp. It anxiously swam around the Soul Suppressing Cauldron and sent out a thought, wanting to come out and fight.

Guo Shier's mind shifted slightly and the fiend soul beast flew out of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

The crescent blade broke through the fire fiend's protection and landed heavily on the mutated big golden armor's back. With a boom, the mutated big golden armor was forcefully thrown into the lava.

The mutated big golden armor was instantly enraged. Before it could attack, it was thrown back into the lava. Following the chirping, the mutated big golden armor once again flew out of the lava. The two enormous golden plates on its back stood up. The wings hidden in the armor suddenly flapped quickly and created a large flow of lava.

Guo Shier dodged slightly and hid to the side. At this time, the fiend soul beast had already appeared above the sea of lava. It gave an excited roar and suddenly leapt into the golden insect tide. In a flash, the golden insects fell down like rain. If they were touched by the fiend soul beast, not only would their souls be stolen, all of their blood essence would disappear.

The mutated big golden armor had originally been targeted at Guo Shier, but when the fiend soul beast appeared, it seemed to be facing a great enemy and felt a great threat. Because this fiend soul beast had also been born from the lava, its power was extraordinary. It had already consumed tens of thousands of soul beasts in the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, and its power had not just increased by a little.

The fiend soul beast quickly circled. It didn't just sweep away most of the golden insects, it even killed a few of the mutated big golden armor's guards. Because the fiend soul beast didn't just have the fire fiend inside its body, it also had the terrifying gold fiend. The two fiends combined, and adding on the large amounts of souls it had consumed, its power had reached a terrifying level. Even the mutated big golden armor felt a thread of threat.

Guo Shier's crescent blade turned and suddenly sliced down. What he was facing was not the mutated big golden armor, but the dozen or so golden armor guards. With a few cracking sounds, those golden-armored guards, although their levels were not low, could not resist the Moon Blade's slash at all. In an instant, their armors were split open, and they were caught by Gu Xiak's tentacles. Their souls were forcibly extracted, and their corpses fell into the sea of lava, turning into ashes.

Falconer and Luo Zhan rampaged and killed many golden insects.

The fiend soul beast's body was seven or eight hundred meters long. It roared as it stared at the mutated big golden armor. It very much desired the soul of the mutated big golden armor, and the fire fiend that the mutated big golden armor had formed. It suddenly leapt, and tightly entangled the mutated big golden armor.

Guo Shier retreated from the battle. With the fiend soul beast fighting, he did not need to continue fighting. Falconer and Luo Zhan flew back. The few thousand golden insects scattered across the sea of lava were no longer a threat. Falconer said with a smile, "Haha, the golden insects are not that great. In the past, they were terrifying, but now they are not a threat at all."

The sparse golden insects would still charge over. The rainbow light of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron did not pose any threat to the golden insects. If they touched the rainbow light, they would immediately fall into the sea of lava. Because they had lost their souls, the bodies of the golden insects could not stop the lava and immediately turned to ash.

The three of them floated in the air above the sea of lava and watched the fiend soul beast and the mutated big golden armor fight.

It was the first time Falconer and Luo Zhan had seen a fiend soul beast. Falconer asked, "What is this? Its fiendish energy is very different from the soul beasts I have seen before. "

Guo Shier said, "This is a fiend soul beast that I caught in the Pure Gold Mountain Range. It was at that time that we provoked Qi Wuzhen, when Zhen Jie appeared. Haha, it is fortunate that we escaped quickly, otherwise … …" He did not continue. Everyone understood that at that time, Qi Wuzhen's soul was in chaos, and he truly killed people and gods. If they hadn't escaped quickly, they would have all died in the Pure Gold Mountain Range.

Luo Zhan said, "Fiend soul beast?" He examined the inherited memories and immediately knew what it was. He said, "Our luck is really good to be able to catch such a vicious beast."

The fiend soul beast and the mutated big golden armor were facing off. The fiend soul beast continued to roar, but it was not in a hurry to charge. The mutated big golden armor was also wary of the other. It seemed to know the power of the fiend soul beast, and continued to give off sharp screeches that made Guo Shier's head swell. That sound was extremely unpleasant to hear.

Falconer said, "Let's go together and kill it. Listening to its cries … … it makes people go crazy!"

Luo Zhan nodded and said, "The power of this cry … … is great!" He also appeared slightly irritated.

Guo Shier said with a smile, "The fiend soul beast doesn't want me to interfere, haha, this little guy wants to kill it alone." He also felt it was strange. He could clearly feel the thoughts that the fiend soul beast continued to transmit.

The golden-shelled insect souls that were swept up by the rainbow light were all sucked into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron and quickly devoured by the Soul Beasts inside the cauldron. The fire-attribute Soul Beasts were especially ecstatic. They crazily pounced on the golden-shelled insect souls as if they were eating delicious snacks.
