Su Ming rushed into the cave abode like the wind and charged towards the place where He Feng and the Wings of the Moon had fused together. The moment he closed in on the stone chamber, a ferocious presence instantly crashed into his face. Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. Before his eyes was He Feng's body floating in the stone chamber. There was a gigantic pair of wings on his back, and those wings looked like the wings of the Wings of the Moon!
There was a picture of a ball of fire at the center of He Feng's brows. At that moment, it looked as if it was burning fiercely, caught in a state between illusion and reality. The moment Su Ming saw the picture of the ball of fire, he sucked in a deep breath.
He was not unfamiliar with that picture. It was the symbol of the Fire Berserker Tribe!
The entire stone chamber was replaced by a sea of fire. That sea of fire filled the area, and a powerful heat spread in all directions. Yet Su Ming did not move under that heat, as if the heat had no effect on him. He Feng was the same. However, he continued letting out roars from his mouth. There was pain on his face, as if he was struggling.
Every single time the picture of the ball of fire shone, it would increase He Feng's pain. Veins popped up on his face. His eyes were shut as he continued withstanding the pain.
The fusion between the Wings of the Moon and He Feng was just an attempt. Su Ming did not know what would happen, but the previous few fusions had been successful. Based on the final fusion, He Feng's body and the Wings of the Moon were already close to perfection.
'By the looks of it, the final fusion isn't about the body, but … the memories!' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He looked at He Feng and prepared himself to attack at any moment.
Time passed by slowly. He Feng's roars became increasingly distant. The picture of the ball of fire could not be completely branded at the center of his brows. It was as if something was missing.
As time passed by, veins popped up on He Feng's face. His newly born body and head swelled up as if they were about to explode at any moment.
The roars in his eyes turned into howls of pain. As his body trembled, the wings on his back looked as if they were about to be separated from his body. The sea of fire in the stone chamber also became much dimmer, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment.
Once the sea of fire was extinguished and He Feng's wings were separated from his body, it would mean that the final fusion had failed. He Feng would die, and the souls of the Wings of the Moon would also disappear.
Su Ming would not allow this sort of thing to happen, especially before Sky Mist Shaman Hunt was about to begin. He could not accept this.
Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and swiftly stepped into the stone chamber. At the instant his foot landed on the sea of fire on the ground, the dull sea of fire instantly looked as if it had been filled with boiling oil. It burned fiercely once again, and a large amount of the sea of fire surrounded Su Ming as if he was their king. His appearance could make them even stronger.
Su Ming stepped on the burning sea of fire and walked towards He Feng. He lifted his right hand, and the moment He Feng's head swelled up to the point of exploding, Su Ming tapped the picture of the flame at the center of He Feng's brows.
The instant Su Ming did so, a shocking rebounding force shot towards him and bounced his finger off, causing him to take a few steps back against his will.
Su Ming lifted his head swiftly. He could feel that the rebounding force did not come from the Wings of the Moon, but from He Feng's consciousness rejecting him!
That rejection could be said to be a form of rejection. That rejection seemed to be telling him that He Feng did not want Su Ming to attack. He wanted to break free from Su Ming's control the instant he succeeded in the final fusion!
There was no way Su Ming would not be prepared for this sort of thing. He had helped He Feng fuse several times previously because he was observing this. Through the fusion, he could continuously strengthen his control over He Feng. After all, once He Feng succeeded, Su Ming might be looking forward to it, but he did not know what sort of changes would happen.
When he saw He Feng rejecting him for the first time, Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. A fiery red light appeared in his eyes, and a moon appeared faintly in his pupils! It was a burning moon, a fiery red moon!
The moment the blood red moon appeared, He Feng lifted his head and let out a roar. Immediately, numerous Wings of the Moon appeared on his skin, and as if they were worshipping Su Ming, they let out submissive screeches.
"Is it you who doesn't want to follow me, or is it the souls of the Wings of the Moon …?" Su Ming stood in the sea of fire and stared at He Feng, who looked like he was in pain. The blood red moon in his eyes gave off an enchanting air.
"You're the one who willingly fused with the Wings of the Moon. Are you regretting it now … If you regret it, then I'll free you from it!" Su Ming's voice echoed in the air. The moment his voice traveled out, the sea of fire around them roared and became stronger once again. The flames burned the entire area and filled every inch of the stone chamber.
The Wings of the Moon on He Feng's body also roared, as if they wanted to rush out of his body.
He Feng trembled even more violently. He wanted to open his eyes, but he did not have the strength to do so. His lips trembled, and a few words tumbled out of his mouth.
"Lord … please … calm … down …"
Su Ming lifted his right hand. This time, he did not touch the center of He Feng's brows. Instead, he bit the tip of his finger, and when a drop of blood flowed out, he lifted his finger and touched the center of He Feng's brows.
The moment Su Ming's index finger touched the center of He Feng's brows, his blood also touched the picture of the flame at the center of He Feng's brows. In an instant, a large amount of veins that looked like a spider web appeared at the center of He Feng's brows. Those veins were blood red, and they quickly covered He Feng's entire body. Even the flame at the center of his brows turned red.
Once the blood red veins covered He Feng's entire body, the souls of the Wings of the Moon in his body fused with him once again. He Feng's body trembled, and his eyes flew open.
The instant he opened his eyes, the pupils of the blood red moon appeared in He Feng's eyes. He stared at Su Ming, and a complicated look appeared on his face. Su Ming also stared back at him, and an awe-inspiring look appeared in his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other. After a moment, He Feng closed his eyes. When he opened them once again, he slowly knelt down on one knee on the ground. Right until the end, the center of his brows was still in contact with Su Ming's finger.
Once he knelt down, He Feng's body was no longer trembling. The sea of fire around them howled and surrounded him and Su Ming. The Wings of the Moon that were spread out behind He Feng slowly retracted their wings and scattered behind his back.
A powerful presence was contained within He Feng's body. The strength of that presence made Su Ming feel as if he was facing a powerful Berserker in the Bone Sacrifice Realm!
"I swear on the moon that I will accompany my Master … and I will take pride in the wings … I will make the Fire Berserker burn the sky once more … I, Fire Berserker He Feng, greet my king …" He Feng lowered his head.
"I can give you the power of the Fire Berserker … but I can also take it back!" Su Ming said calmly and lifted the finger that was placed at the center of He Feng's brows.
The moment Su Ming lifted his finger, the sea of fire around them immediately rose and fell as if it was cheering. As the layers of fire tumbled about, they charged towards He Feng and fused into his body. Eventually, they gathered at the center of his brows, causing the picture of the flame to become real!
However, its color was still blood red. That red was the color of Su Ming's blood, and within it was Su Ming's will!
"The Fire Berserker worships the moon and takes pride in the moon. From now on, you will become my shadow. The shadow under the moonlight will be your home." Su Ming turned around and walked out of the stone room. As he walked out, He Feng knelt down on one knee. His body gradually faded away and eventually turned into an illusion. Once he disappeared, the shadow under Su Ming's feet became slightly different.
When Su Ming walked out of the cave abode, Zi Che looked at him from not too far away. There was uncertainty in his eyes. Clearly, he had heard He Feng's roars more than once. He had some guesses as to the secret in Su Ming's cave abode.
Compared to him, the Fire Ape that was originally squatting outside the cave and combing its fur with its claws lifted its head swiftly the moment Su Ming walked out of the cave. It stared at Su Ming's feet and bared its teeth, letting out a low growl.
Wariness appeared on its face, as if the thing under Su Ming's feet had made all its fur stand up. It even took a few steps back and its roars became louder.
Zi Che immediately looked at Su Ming's feet, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not see anything different. There was nothing under Su Ming's feet, besides his shadow under the moonlight.
"Shadow …" Zi Che shuddered. His gaze turned towards Su Ming's shadow, and shock gradually appeared on his face. He saw that Su Ming's shadow did not look like a human, but had wings that had yet to spread out. The instant Zi Che looked at the shadow, he felt as if he saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him coldly.
Zi Che's heart trembled and he quickly moved away.
"Don't look at my shadow," Su Ming said slowly and sat down cross-legged on the platform outside the cave abode. He lifted his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
Zi Che quickly obeyed and took a few steps back. He lowered his head, but his heart could not calm down. He believed that he had not seen wrongly just now. There was something strange about Su Ming's shadow, especially the blood-red eyes that looked at him. It made Zi Che's heart tremble, and at the same time, he felt that the distance between him and Su Ming was increasing endlessly.
Once the distance between them reached a certain degree …
'Uncle master doesn't need me to protect his cave abode anymore …' Zi Che lowered his head quietly and sat there. A resolute look appeared in his eyes.
'It's been a long time since my power has increased. Could it be that I really can't break through the barrier of the Bone Sacrifice Realm?!'
Zi Che was immersed in his thoughts. Su Ming looked at the moon in the sky, and the Fire Ape stared at Su Ming's shadow with a hostile look on its face.
As the Fire Ape stared at Su Ming's shadow, Su Ming turned his head around to look at it and whispered softly, "Before we go to the land of the Shamans, stay by my side. Let's call you … Xiao Hong … Once we go to the land of the Shamans, I'll give you your freedom … Remember, don't let anyone capture you again."
The Fire Ape rolled its eyes and cast Su Ming a glance. There was a clear look of disbelief on its face.
There was a saying that went like this: Lonely people are different, but there is only one moon that they can look at. At that moment, under the moonlight on the seventh summit, there was a woman. She had untied the red string tied around her hair and let go of the braids by her ears. She was no longer dressed in white, and there was no longer any sparkling crystal on her forehead. The bone earrings on her ears had also been taken off. She sat on a mountain rock and rested her chin on her hands as she stared at the moon in the sky with a dumbfounded expression …
