The moment the black crystal exploded, a huge black wall appeared in front of them. It was as if it had isolated the world from the outside world. All the energy in the world seemed to be absorbed by the black wall, converging and transforming into its energy source. The 'wall' instantly grew to a height of several hundred meters, and its length and width were so long that they could not see it. Moreover, it felt like it was still growing.
The huge barrier instantly isolated all the dangers outside. Through the black energy wall, countless faint ripples could be seen spreading on the wall, but they couldn't shake the wall at all.
'Funny Black Wall' was a defensive array created by Master Zhuo Li 'er. This was the product of a famous wards master in the Holy Land. The amazing thing about it was that it only required a small amount of Soul Power to activate, and it was especially effective against energy-type attacks. It cost 6,900 Holy Coins, and it could withstand attacks below the Heavenly Soul Stage for at least a minute as long as it wasn't insanely powerful. At that moment, Oscar felt like he was going crazy. He didn't even earn a cent from the entire mission.
While the barrier isolated the space, it also blocked the rich fire elemental energy outside the wall. However, the color of the Pioneering Order in his hand had returned to normal, and he could leave at any time.
Oscar heaved a sigh of relief. He finally made it in time, but then he felt a deep pain in his balls.
"Let's go now. We can only hold it for a few seconds!" Oscar took action immediately. If it was an ordinary attack, he might be able to hold it for a few minutes. However, looking at the storm-like attacks of the Lava Monster Leader, it would be a miracle if he could hold it for even a minute.
Grai and the others reacted quickly. After all, they came out of the CHF and had actual combat experience. They followed Oscar and ran away. As long as they were away from the core area, there wouldn't be a big problem. After all, although the Lava Monster Leader was ferocious, it wasn't a mobile type. It seemed to rely on its surroundings.
(Two-in-one. Friends, please get a monthly ticket. Thank you!)
"Eh, where's Wang Zhong?" Sharmie suddenly asked in surprise.
Grai turned his head and looked into the distance, only to see Wang Zhong's back. Wang Zhong waved his hand from afar. At that moment, the barrier collapsed, and the place where everyone was just now was completely engulfed in flames.
Grai and the others felt their throats burning. "Is this guy crazy?"
Was he trying to be a hero???
That was a Lava Monster Leader at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage. Furthermore, it was in a favorable environment. How could an Initial Phase Heroic Soul Stage fight it alone? Oscar knew that Wang Zhong was definitely very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been valued by those two terrifying experts from the Empire. But frankly speaking, he had discussed this with Feng, and they both agreed that Wang Zhong probably had some special abilities that they valued. Perhaps such abilities would be very terrifying and beneficial to a team, but in terms of individual strength, Wang Zhong was still a Initial Phase Heroic Soul. How could he challenge a Peak Heroic Soul?
Such an idea was too bold, too risky, or in other words, overestimating one's capabilities.
Oscar's first reaction was to stop them, but how? If he was at his peak, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if he went in now, he would only be sending himself to death.
The six of them looked at each other. What should they do?
"Shall we go there too?" Napier was already eager to give it a try. Recently, under the influence of the Wanderlust Team, he had regained some of his playful nature. He was indifferent to life and death, and if he was unhappy, he would fight.
"Going there to die? Not everyone is a lunatic like Wang Zhong! " Said Sharmie. Obviously, everyone knew that Wang Zhong was eager to fight. "This guy's Dharma Idol is of the fire attribute. Maybe he has a way."
"What can we do? This is a Peak Heroic Soul and is equivalent to a small feudal lord. Even if we tie him up, we won't be able to do anything." Mo Ling smiled bitterly. He thought that Wang Zhong had matured after coming to the Holy Land, but now it seemed that he was too naive. Wang Zhong was even crazier than when he was in the CHF. The difference between them was too great.
"Don't be impulsive." Grai didn't look nervous at all, and he even looked a little indifferent. If there was anyone in this group who knew Wang Zhong the best, it would be Grai.
It wasn't all because they were familiar with each other. Even when Wang Zhong first arrived in the Holy City, Grai could feel a trace of mystery from Wang Zhong. He didn't know where that sense of mystery came from, but he knew that it really existed. Just like the Holy Disciple who beat up Wang Zhong in the past, Grai had secretly 'visited' that guy at night. Obviously, things didn't seem to be what the other party said. As for Wang Zhong's low-profile, he could understand very well. Such rumors could save him a lot of trouble, so why not?
In fact, Grai had been looking forward to seeing the combat power of Wang Zhong's Dharma Idol a long time ago. He never believed in the saying that he was ordinary.
"We won't be of much help even if we go there. Instead, we'll be a burden to Senior. It's better to wait. Maybe we'll witness a miracle later," said Grai calmly. Obviously, Wang Zhong was still inside, and there was no possibility of them leaving. They had to observe the situation.
Grai's calmness also influenced everyone. Deep down, these people didn't believe that Wang Zhong would become useless. Since he stayed, he must have his own way.
Oscar calmed himself down. It was too careless to continue the mission at this time. It was obviously useless to go and help, but Oscar was really worried about leaving just like that.
"Let's stay here and wait for Wang Zhong." Oscar finally made a decision. Even a newcomer wasn't afraid, so what reason did he have to leave?
…
There was a reason why wards masters, alchemists, and gourmets were called the three major auxiliary professions in the Holy Land. Alchemists specialized in forging soul tools, gourmets specialized in pharmaceutics, and wards masters specialized in studying runes, wards, levels, and so on. Speaking of which, wards masters had a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries.
If there was anything they had in common, it would be that their items were all very expensive. They were all very popular products in the Holy City, and they could often save the entire team at critical moments.
Of course, the items in Oscar's hands were definitely good stuff. After all, they had been accumulating for so many years. These items might not be of much use in the Tree Demon Forest, but they would be very effective here. Before Wang Zhong could sigh with emotion, the ward was broken by the Lava Monster Leader's violent power.
However, the Lava Monster Leader didn't care about the group of people who escaped. It was awakened because of the creature in front of it. There seemed to be something in this fragile and small creature that was summoning it. It was something that could help it get rid of some of its shackles. As long as it swallowed the creature, it would be free. This was a kind of demand from its origin.
Its gaze instantly locked onto Wang Zhong, and a boundless and simple greed filled the entire space.
The moment the Lava Monster Leader locked onto its target, Wang Zhong could feel the temperature around him rising again. Other soldiers would need to expend a large amount of Soul Power to resist this, but Wang Zhong didn't need to do so.
The high temperature and flames didn't cause much harm to Wang Zhong. Excluding the fact that the flames could intimidate his soul, Wang Zhong's physical body was still much stronger than the average person's.
This was a trial. Tempering their Dharma Idol was something every Heroic Soul soldier had to do. Perhaps there were many gentler ways to do it, but Wang Zhong didn't have that much free time. In comparison, actual combat was more effective and comfortable for him. He immediately summoned the Flaming Spirit King.
"Your Majesty, Salamander is at your service." The Flaming Spirit King knelt on one knee. It could be seen that the flames on its body were much stronger than the last time he summoned it. Its body was also bigger, and the texture of the flames was more profound. It wasn't just because of the small improvement during this period of time, but more because of the environment in the Lava World. The surrounding temperature made the Flaming Spirit King feel like it had returned home. It was incomparably familiar with all the elements here, making it feel a sense of closeness and making it stronger.
"Kill it." Wang Zhong didn't waste any time. Both master and servant were connected. The moment he finished speaking, the Flaming Spirit King, Salamander, had already rushed towards the Lava Monster Leader like an arrow shot from a bow.
Although there was a difference in power, Salamander was still extremely arrogant. It wasn't afraid of the powerful Lava Monster Leader at all. It could absorb the rich fire elements in the surroundings at any time, making it feel as if its body had endless power. The sudden burst of flames was like a launcher attached to its legs, launching it like a rocket. It was only a few dozen meters away from the Lava Monster Leader, but it was already in front of the Lava Monster Leader in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
There was a loud crash, and the defensive barrier that had blocked all the attacks from Sharmie and the others suddenly flashed, forming a huge distortion in front of the Lava Monster Leader. Although it didn't break through the barrier completely, the barrier seemed to be one with the Lava Monster Leader, and the huge impact forced it to take a few steps back.
The Lava Monster Leader probably didn't expect this little thing that it didn't take seriously to be able to knock into it. It let out an angry roar as it swung its arm, and the human-shaped arm that was made of flames actually turned into a huge scythe as it swung towards Salamander. Unlike the clumsiness of ordinary Lava Monsters, the movement of the Lava Monster Leader's arm was extremely fast, probably because its arm wasn't made of cumbersome boulders. The flaming scythe drew a dazzling light in the air.
However, no matter how fast it was, Salamander was even faster.
Ordinary Dharma Idols didn't have intelligence, but Salamander was obviously not like this. Most of the time, Wang Zhong felt that Salamander was like a projection of some kind of dimensional world, but he didn't know why it was projected to him. Wang Zhong's Soul Power level definitely limited his combat power and even his intelligence.
Right now, Salamander seemed to be responding to Wang Zhong's own combat skills. When Salamander's body hit the barrier, he had already changed the direction of his force. At this time, he suddenly turned around with the help of the force. His movements were elegant and dexterous, exactly the same as Wang Zhong's extremely beautiful combat style. At the same time, he had already thrown out a flaming chain, instantly wrapping it around the neck of the Lava Monster Leader and pulling it hard!
If there was something unique about Salamander, it would be that he especially liked to use flaming chains, but Wang Zhong didn't find any Dimensional lifeforms that matched this from the information he had in the Holy Land.
The flaming chain suddenly contracted, and the huge pulling force even affected the balance of space. Countless electric sparks could be seen bursting between the flaming chain, as if many small cracks in space were affected by the force and were forcefully pulled open. The Lava Monster Leader's neck was also instantly tightened by a small circle, and the friction between the flames and the magma actually produced a sharp and ear-piercing sound.
The Lava Monster Leader's body staggered slightly, but it was just a stagger. It could feel that this seemingly weak flame creature's control of flames was not inferior to its own, but its weak power was the other party's fatal weakness. The Lava Monster Leader's flaming scythe that missed its swing just now had already transformed back into the form of its arm, and it grabbed the flaming chain and pulled it hard.
A huge force burst forth from its arm, and Salamander could only feel an irresistible force pulling its body towards the Lava Monster Leader. Then, a flaming sword slash followed!
Whoosh!
The terrifying flaming sword aura was unstoppable and easily tore Salamander's body apart, splitting it into two halves. The force of the attack even had a violent vibration effect. Even the two halves of Salamander's body were shattered by the vibration, turning into countless sparks of fire.
However, in the blink of an eye, the scattered flames suddenly condensed together as if they had the help of God. Salamander's body reappeared, and he was still holding onto the flaming chains tightly, trying to strangle the Lava Monster Leader's neck.
Wang Zhong was observing the entire battle. He wanted to know Salamander's bottom line. Obviously, this guard of his was rather special as it retained some of the characteristics of a Dharma Idol. If it was a Dimensional lifeform, even if it didn't die from such a degree of tearing, its energy would be greatly damaged, but Salamander's energy was only slightly weakened.
"Roar roar roar roar!"
The Lava Monster Leader was furious, and a terrifying heatwave burst forth from its body, forming a terrifying heatwave that spread in all directions. Wang Zhong, who was rushing towards the Lava Monster Leader at high speed, only felt a strong gust of heatwave hit him head-on. His feet slipped, and he was almost blown away. He quickly channeled his Soul Power into his body, and his legs dug deep into the ground like iron nails to stabilize himself. On the other hand, Salamander, who was holding on to the flaming chain, was directly blown high into the air by the heatwave. The flaming chain in his hand had already been pulled straight.
Crack!
The flaming sword slashed down, and the chain was instantly cut off. Salamander was like a mosquito that was blown away, and he flew backward …
Boom!
Salamander's body was directly smashed into pieces, but as if he had an immortal body, his shattered body actually condensed again in an instant! Although he had recovered and his fighting spirit hadn't diminished, it could still be seen that his body was slightly smaller than before, and his Soul Power reaction also showed signs of weakening.
The difference in Soul Power was still too obvious …
The Lava Monster Leader had obviously seen through the weaknesses of the two ants opposite it. It continued to release waves of Soul Power, wreaking havoc in the entire space. The intense wind pressure directly made Wang Zhong and Salamander spend a lot of effort just to stand, and they couldn't move freely at all. The Fire Quartz on its head shone with a red light, and a terrifying wave of energy gathered there, pulling at the surrounding space and almost distorting it!
How terrifying was this power? If Wang Zhong really got hit by it, he felt that he could just go home and report himself.
