"Run!" When he saw the red shadow flash, Lin Li knew that he was in trouble. He immediately cast a Delaying Spell, hoping that this low-level spell would be able to delay the beast for a while.
"What the hell …" Argus was held in Sean's hand. The moment the red shadow flashed past, his blank expression was swept away, and it was replaced by a deathly pale expression.
He could not understand why he was so unlucky. He could have killed the enemy easily, but with the help of an inexplicable earthquake, he became a cripple. After a round of devastation, he managed to save his life, but then he encountered an Ore Devouring Beast …
Oh my God, that's a magical beast at least level-15!
Even if his strength was not damaged and he was at his peak, he would not dare to provoke it. What's more, he could not even lift a hand now, and was no different from a cripple.
I'm done for …
Argus thought to himself, I'm really done for this time.
Although he was now in the hands of someone, Argus could still see the strength of these two clearly. One was a level-13 Magic Shooter, and the other was a Warrior who had just broken through level-10. No matter how fierce they were, they were definitely not a match for an Ore Devouring Beast that was at least level-15. The difference in strength was there, and no amount of ferocity could make up for it.
Argus felt that he was really wronged …
Lin Li felt even more wronged!
This damn Ore Devouring Beast, why did it have to choose such a terrible time to come out? The surrounding mountains were shaking, and the cave was about to collapse. He could not even escape in time, so how could he be in the mood to be entangled with it? Even if he could kill it, he would not have the chance to collect the Fiery Magic Iron from the magma. This was a business that could not be more profitable.
After casting a Delaying Spell, both of them turned around and ran.
"Roar!" At the same time, the Ore Devouring Beast roared angrily. It shook hard, and the magma on its body was shaken off. In an instant, there were sparks flying all over the sky.
Lin Li and Sean were still fine. After all, they were wearing Fire Salamandrid leather armor. However, Argus, who was being carried by Sean, suffered. He had nothing on his body except for a body full of scars. Now that the magma splashed, he was instantly scalded to death. That was no joke. A little bit of magma splashed on his body, and it was like being branded by a soldering iron.
"Put me down, damn it! Put me down, I don't want to die! " Along the way, Argus' screams could be heard incessantly. However, how could Lin Li be in the mood to care about him at this critical juncture? If not for the fact that he still had some value, he would have asked Sean to throw him out long ago.
After shaking off the magma on its body, the Ore Devouring Beast revealed its hideous head.
Lin Li turned back to take a look, and was even more certain of his guess. There was indeed a Fiery Magic Iron vein buried under the magma, and it was likely to be a rich one. This was because only Ore Devouring Beasts that grew up on rich ores would have a strange metallic luster all over their bodies like this one.
The slender body of a lizard was frighteningly agile in the chase. Like a red stream of light, it swept across a long distance in an instant. The Delaying Spell did not seem to have any effect on it. The pale yellow light flashed by, and a lingering flame rose up.
"Roar …" The deep roars came one after another. The rocks that fell from the sky did not pose any threat to it at all. Its slender body was like a swimming fish, shuttling through the rocks quickly. Its two extremely sharp front claws were like a steel knife cutting through tofu, and it instantly tore the rocks that fell on its head into pieces …
Seeing that the Ore Devouring Beast was getting closer, Lin Li did not even dare to turn back. He could only run for his life now.
Only by escaping from this godforsaken cave would he have the chance to stop and cast spells.
With the help of the Hastening Spell, both of them were extremely fast. However, the Ore Devouring Beast was much faster than them. Initially, there was still a distance of tens of meters between them, but by the time both of them rushed into a narrow passage, the Ore Devouring Beast was already less than ten meters away from them.
The passage in front was getting narrower and narrower, but the Ore Devouring Beast was getting closer and closer. Lin Li could almost hear the deep panting of the Ore Devouring Beast from behind.
However, Lin Li did not dare to turn back. The only thing he could do now was to continue running forward. Only by running out of this cave would he have a chance to escape.
The speed of the Ore Devouring Beast was too fast. Before Lin Li could pass through the narrow passage, the Ore Devouring Beast behind him had already let out a low growl and pounced on him. Then, there was a crisp "hiss". The Fire Salamandrid's armor was like a piece of white paper under the sharp claws of the Ore Devouring Beast. In an instant, a large hole was torn open.
Lin Li felt a pain in his back, and a warm current gushed out from the wound.
"It's over …" Lin Li's heart tightened at the same time the intense pain came. There was no chance of escape if the Ore Devouring Beast caught up to him in this narrow passage.
However, it was too late to pull away. The Ore Devouring Beast tore open the armor with its claws. Then, there was a crisp "smack". The slender and long tail was like a whip as it whipped Lin Li's back. At this moment, Lin Li felt as if he was hit by a cannonball. His entire body flew up diagonally, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat when he was in mid-air. Then, he crashed heavily against the hard stone wall …
"Mr Felic, you go first!" Almost at the same time, Sean's feet stopped abruptly. He carried Argus with one hand and smashed a piece of gravel with the other.
The Ore Devouring Beast swatted Lin Li away with its tail. Just as it was about to pounce on Lin Li, it collided head-on with a piece of gravel that was about the size of a fist. With a loud cry, the gravel smashed into the Ore Devouring Beast's head.
"…" Argus could not cry even if he wanted to. Damn it, this blockhead must have taken the wrong medicine. In order to help that fella called Felic escape, he actually foolishly sent himself into the mouth of the Ore Devouring Beast.
At this moment, Argus really wanted to curse. "F * ck you, that's a level-15 magical beast. Even if you want to die, don't drag me along with you, alright?"
Unfortunately, Sean was not in the mood to care about the emotions of a bystander. His left hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping Argus' neck. Argus could not even move, let alone raise his head to curse …
At this moment, Sean was like an iron wall, firmly blocking the center of the passageway.
Even though it was an Ore Devouring Beast, it was still slightly injured after being hit by a piece of gravel. It shook its dizzy head and stared at Sean with its triangular eyes. The hatred and anger in its eyes were like that of a venomous snake that was about to devour someone. Just looking at it was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Under the blazing fire, the Ore Devouring Beast was emitting a blazing magical wave. This was the unique power of the fire element Ore Devouring Beast. Especially since it had absorbed the power of the Blazing Mineral Vein, its attainments in fire element magic were not inferior to that of an Archmage of the same level.
On the slender tail that was covered with scales, a little flame was flickering slightly. It looked like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time, but in Lin Li's eyes, it made his heart jump. This was a sign that the Ore Devouring Beast was about to go berserk. Once that little flame was ignited, what awaited Sean would be an earth-shattering fire element magic.
"Sean, run!"
At this juncture of life and death, Lin Li could no longer care about his injuries. It was as if he could already see a blazing fire coming out of the Ore Devouring Beast's mouth and burning Sean into ashes in an instant. He had no choice but to stand up and risk being hit by the falling rocks. He desperately controlled his mental strength and released the worst Mana Retroaction in history …
"Boom!"
Almost at the same time when the Mana Retroaction was released, another loud bang came from above the cave.
Compared to the previous two times, this loud bang was like an earthquake. In an instant, it pushed the disaster to the peak. Large chunks of rocks rolled down from the top of the cave with a series of loud rumbling sounds. Lin Li's feet stepped on the ground, but he felt as if he was standing on a deck, and the whole ground seemed to be shaking.
Even the Ore Devouring Magical Beast that was staring at Sean seemed to be shocked by the disaster. Its slender tail was still swaying back and forth, and the little flame that was like a candle in the wind was still faintly discernible. However, the expected blazing fire did not come out of its mouth …
"Roar —" After the continuous "boom", another earth-shattering roar came. The terrifying sound almost pierced through everyone's eardrums. It was as if a bomb had exploded beside their ears. Immediately, Lin Li felt that there was only a buzzing sound in his head. Apart from that, the whole world seemed to be silent.
After that, there was only silence …
That earth-shattering roar seemed to carry some kind of order. In an instant, everything quieted down.
The ground stopped shaking, and the boulders in the cave stopped rolling down. Even the flame on the Ore Devouring Magical Beast's tail was suddenly extinguished.
In its place, a rainbow-like ray of light flashed behind Lin Li.
The colorful light drew a perfect arc at the end of the narrow passage. On one side of the light were three humans and a magical beast, and on the other side was a magnificent palace that was surrounded by flames. The colorful light was like a door that separated the two ends of the passage into two different worlds.
"F * ck me …" Lin Li was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the colorful light. He even forgot about the Ore Devouring Magical Beast behind him, and stood there like a puppet. To make sure that he did not see wrongly, he stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard.
"Hiss …" The pain from his thigh made Lin Li suck in a breath of cold air.
This, this, this … Is this all real?
Lin Li suddenly felt that his brain was in a daze. He felt that he could not react in time. It was supposed to be an earth-shattering disaster. Why did it stop all of a sudden, and then this darn thing appeared out of nowhere? The place surrounded by flames was simply another world. Could it be a mirage? But no one seemed to have ever heard of a mirage appearing in a cave before …
"Roar!" The long confrontation seemed to have made the Ore Devouring Magical Beast lose its patience. Its sharp front claws dug into the sand and stones on the ground, and it let out a series of restless growls.
This growl made Lin Li's heart skip a beat. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he actually forgot about the existence of this fella …
"Charge!" Seeing that the Ore Devouring Magical Beast was about to pounce on him, Lin Li could no longer care so much. He hurriedly shouted to Sean, who was beside him, and rushed towards the colorful light like an arrow leaving the bow.
When the first ray of colorful light sprinkled on his body, Lin Li seemed to feel a trace of heat. This trace of heat rose from the ring finger of his right hand, and instantly flowed all over Lin Li's body. The feeling brought by this trace of heat was very wonderful. It was completely different from the suffocating temperature in the cave. Instead, it was warm. Although it was hot, it did not make people feel uncomfortable at all. It was like holding a small stove in his arms in the winter.
"What's going on?" Lin Li could not help but look back in surprise, but suddenly saw a dazzling red light emitting from the ring finger of his right hand. "Torrent of Elements Ring!"
The dazzling red light was as thick as fresh blood, and Lin Li could even clearly see that the red color was spreading at a rapid speed.
Almost at the same time, the Ore Devouring Magical Beast behind him also moved. When it pounced, it looked like a red stream of light. Lin Li's feet had just moved, and it had already crossed a long distance. The hideous head was raised, and a ball of fire was faintly discernible in its mouth …
"Sh * t!" At this time, Lin Li had already leaped, and his whole body was in mid-air. Even if he wanted to put up an Elemental Shield, it was too late. He could only watch as the ball of fire became brighter and brighter in the mouth of the Ore Devouring Magical Beast, and finally turned into a dazzling fireball that exploded with a bang …
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the huge fireball exploded violently.
Lin Li felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball, and every bone in his body was broken.
"It's over, it's really over this time …"
Being hit by a fireball with power comparable to that of an Archmage without any protection, even a fool knew what the consequences would be. Feeling the severe pain coming from his body, Lin Li closed his eyes in resignation. But in the next moment, he opened his eyes abruptly again.
No, I'm not done yet!
The place where he was lying now was clearly a piece of green grass. Sean and Argus were lying not far away, and they seemed to have fainted. There was still a colorful light in front of him, and through that colorful light, Lin Li could clearly see a hideous Ore Devouring Magical Beast pouncing at him at an alarming speed …
"F * ck!" Lin Li almost subconsciously raised his hands to protect his face, but then he suddenly saw that the Ore Devouring Magical Beast seemed to be ignited by something the moment it passed through the colorful light. He heard a shrill scream, and then it turned into a pile of ashes …
