A ray of red light flew out, and the panting fire grand magus Marceau finally managed to escape with great difficulty. Her wrinkled face was filled with dejection as she looked around with flickering eyes, wanting to get a clear picture of Tanai's current situation.
After being tormented by the four behemoths, the beautiful scenery and flower-filled valley was completely destroyed. The ground was filled with ravines and streams of magma flowed everywhere. Inside the holes that were full of potholes, raging flames were burning, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
Marceau looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the golden dragon, cyclops, and silver ape weren't there. When she discovered that Han Shuo and Sophie were coldly looking at her from afar, she forced out an ugly smile and explained apologetically, "Congratulations on regaining a new life. The situation just now was special. I hope you can understand. I had no choice!"
Sophie's pretty face was full of disdain and disdain. She snorted and didn't look at Marceau again. She said to Han Shuo, who was hovering in the air, "Let's go. There's nothing to say to this kind of person!"
"Yes, I think so too!" Han Shuo agreed with Sophie's suggestion and looked coldly at Marceau from afar. A fiendish aura naturally overflowed, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he took the lead and flew out of the valley.
Sophie chanted a strange summoning incantation, and the white and beautiful pegasus once again appeared in the scorching hot valley, naturally carrying Sophie on its back.
The fiery clouds in the sky above the valley gradually dissipated after losing the control of the Lord of the Flames' terrifying power. The mountain wind blew down from above, and the raging flames were slowly extinguished.
The formation of the fire elite zombie definitely didn't take a day or two. It would be a slow process. From the yin demon's observation, not only did the Lord of the Flames not have the slightest bit of malice towards the life within the fire lotus, it even carefully protected him like a child. The fire elite zombie's safety was definitely not an issue.
Once the fire elite zombie had absorbed enough energy, it would certainly emerge from the fire lotus. At that time, this place of extreme fire would also become the fire elite zombie's kingdom of fire. Using his connection with the fire elite zombie, Han Shuo could use the fire elite zombie to sweep away all the fire attribute spiritual stones that had been bred in the surrounding place of extreme fire. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to collect them.
As Han Shuo flew out of the valley, Sophie rode on her beautiful pegasus and followed behind Han Shuo unhurriedly, disappearing into the valley with Han Shuo.
Fire grand magus Marceau watched as Han Shuo and Sophie left. Her expression was uncertain, but she didn't make any moves. She only looked at the sky where the burning clouds had receded after Han Shuo and Sophie had disappeared for a while. She then used the levitation spell to quickly rise into the sky.
As soon as they left the valley, Han Shuo immediately communicated with dark dragon Gilbert through his mind. Little Skull had already been sent back to the other dimension. A yin demon that had stayed in the fire lake also flew out of the crack in the ground and converged on Han Shuo's side.
When the yin demon returned to Han Shuo's side, Han Shuo also sensed dark dragon Gilbert's position. Behind him, female knight Sophie rode on a pegasus and followed Han Shuo unhurriedly. A pair of beautiful eyes focused on Han Shuo's body and shone with a faint luster. No one knew what she was thinking.
Han Shuo had a very good impression of this female knight named Sophie. When Han Shuo had flown up from the fire lotus and pretended to be injured, it was Sophie who had persuaded the hesitant Marceau to let him enter the boundary. When Han Shuo walked into the boundary, Sophie didn't mind the horrible and unpleasant smell on Han Shuo's feet and helped Han Shuo to sit up.
Sophie's kind behavior won Han Shuo's favor. So much so that when Marceau let go, Han Shuo immediately enveloped Sophie in his protective barrier and expended even more magical yuan to protect Sophie.
"I think we should split up!" Sophie, who had been following Han Shuo silently, finally spoke faintly after they were a distance away from the valley.
Turning around, Han Shuo looked deeply at Sophie and revealed a radiant smile, saying, "You are a kind and righteous knight. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Their separation was imminent. Sophie also stared deeply at Han Shuo with interest, as though she wanted to memorize Han Shuo's appearance in her heart. After a while, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brian, if you have time to visit Kasi Empire, I can be your guide!"
"Oh!" Han Shuo was delighted. He then asked with interest, "Then how should I find you?"
Sophie glared at Han Shuo reproachfully and said strangely, "Could it be that you've really just made your debut? You don't even know who I am?"
Shaking his head, Han Shuo said amusedly, "Are you very famous?"
"Kasi Empire's sacred knight Solo is my father. I'm the only earth knight in Kasi Empire who rides a pegasus. As long as you come to Kasi Empire and want to find me, you will definitely be able to find me. Goodbye, interesting scoundrel!" Sophie left behind a string of bell-like giggles and left in another direction on her pegasus. She flew into the horizon like a little fairy and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She was actually the daughter of a sacred knight! Han Shuo was greatly shocked. Only now did he truly care about Sophie's identity. He didn't expect her to be born into a wealthy family and have such a terrifyingly powerful father.
In the current Profound Continent, only the strongest experts would add the word "sacred" to their professions. Regardless of whether it was a sacred magus, sacred swordmaster, or sacred knight, they were all publicly recognized as the most powerful figures on the continent. No matter which country they were in, these people would have an illustrious position and be revered by all citizens.
Such a figure possessed terrifying strength. Such a figure could even reverse the outcome of a war. They existed as the protector of a country and possessed strength that even the king had no choice but to treat with caution. Sophie's father was actually a sacred knight. No wonder she was so confident. When Han Shuo expressed that he had never heard of her, she rolled her eyes fiercely at Han Shuo.
However, in the legends, there was another kind of existence that surpassed the boundary of "sacred" and possessed the title of "god". They were an existence closest to the gods and were known as demigods in the secular world!
They were the pinnacle of their professions. In hundreds and thousands of years, only a few characters had appeared. They were known as magic gods, sword gods, and divine knights. Such demigod existences possessed the destructive power to destroy the heavens and earth. They had strength comparable to the gods. If they could break through their limits and take another step forward, they would be able to break through the shackles and become true gods.
It was a pity that the current Profound Continent didn't have such legendary figures with the word "god". Those with the word "sacred" were already the pinnacle existences on the continent.
Sophie flew away on her pegasus. Han Shuo only gasped in surprise at Sophie's identity for a moment before flying in the direction of Gilbert's location.
Along the way, there were huge footprints and traces of an intense battle everywhere. The two meter wide footprints were obviously from the cyclops. The towering ancient trees in the surroundings were broken and toppled in rows, and some of the small hills were left with bombardment marks.
With just a few glances, Han Shuo was certain that the cyclops and the golden dragon must have left the valley from here while fighting. Gilbert must have secretly tailed the two enormous beings.
Even now, Gilbert was still following the two powerful beings. Han Shuo could sense his constantly shifting position. Without taking a closer look at his surroundings, Han Shuo followed his connection with Gilbert and activated the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens with all his might, chasing after Gilbert like a rainbow.
Previously, Tanai had been a sea of fire. Only after leaving the valley did he realize that it was already late at night. The stars shone brilliantly and the moonlight sprinkled down like flowing water. It was a pity that the scenery along the way wasn't as beautiful as it seemed due to the battle between the two powerful beings.
As Han Shuo flew at full speed for a great distance, he could already hear a tremendous rumble in the distance. It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting. The earth seemed to be trembling from the tremendous sound as the distance between him and Gilbert gradually decreased.
Just as Han Shuo was flying at high speed, thinking that he would be able to see Gilbert soon, the tremendous rumble in the distance suddenly disappeared. Even the connection between Han Shuo and Gilbert was severed at the same time. Han Shuo couldn't sense his existence no matter how hard he tried.
Greatly alarmed, Han Shuo didn't understand what had suddenly happened. He was bewildered by this sudden turn of events. He once again increased his speed and flew towards the location of the black dragon he'd just sensed.
The speed of a shooting star allowed Han Shuo to arrive at the scene in a matter of minutes. The traces of the battle between the two enormous beings were still there, and there was a wide area shrouded in black fog in front of him.
This area took up a large area. Han Shuo stopped in the air and gazed down. He discovered that the black fog covered an area of ten miles. The moonlight was completely obscured by the black fog and couldn't shine in at all. Han Shuo couldn't see anything with his eyes either.
Waves of fierce and thick evil aura filled the area shrouded in black fog. It seemed to contain some sort of terrifying danger. Han Shuo couldn't sense the existence of any living beings within, as if he was completely blocked by the thick black fog.
Hovering in the air for a while, Han Shuo released a yin demon and had it descend towards the area below. The shapeless yin demon slowly descended and dove into the area shrouded in black fog with a whoosh.
Suddenly, Han Shuo's connection with the yin demon was completely severed. The yin demon that entered the black fog disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Han Shuo couldn't sense the yin demon's location in the slightest.
By now, Han Shuo was truly shocked. His connection with Gilbert was due to the power of the contract, so it was understandable that it was blocked by that area. However, the three yin demons had been refined by Han Shuo through his blood essence, and had disappeared without a trace after entering that area. This was truly a bit frightening.
The area ten miles in radius below was completely covered by thick black fog. He couldn't see anything at all. Han Shuo could only feel that it was filled with an evil aura. He was certain that there was no simple existence within.
"The Dark Forest is full of wonders indeed. There's actually such a strange place. It looks like I have to go in and see what's going on if I want to understand what's going on!" Han Shuo looked at the area below and murmured to himself. He activated the magical yuan in his body and formed a protective shield around his body, slowly descending towards the area below.
When Han Shuo gradually approached the black fog, all sorts of negative emotions, such as fear, grief, rage, and madness, suddenly surged into Han Shuo's mind. It was as if a force was trying to invade Han Shuo and make him lose himself in an instant.
However, Han Shuo, in the bloodlust realm, had absorbed all sorts of negative emotions from the dead during his last two massacres. He was already used to the invasion of this kind of fear and madness. He wasn't affected in the slightest, and his expression remained calm and composed.
"This is really interesting!" Han Shuo couldn't help but murmur in surprise when he felt the negative emotions surge into his mind. His body suddenly sank and he landed directly in this area.
In an instant, the training he'd lost with Gilbert and the yin demon was instantly reestablished. It looked like the black fog only blocked the communication between the outside and the inside, and couldn't stop the people within from communicating with each other.
He didn't hurry to move through his connection with Gilbert. Instead, Han Shuo looked around with bright eyes, planning to first imprint the situation in this area into his mind so that he could make the right decision when danger arose.
Due to the presence of the thick black fog, Han Shuo's vision was affected. He could only see things ten meters away from him. In the Dark Forest that was densely covered with plants, this area shrouded in black mist seemed so unusual and unique. There wasn't a single plant within a ten meter radius, only barren rocks of all sorts of dark colors.
There was an oily green stream flowing beneath Han Shuo's feet. The stream flowed soundlessly without any fish. Looking up at the sky, the thick black fog covered everything. There wasn't a bit of light to be seen. The entire space was dark and gloomy, filled with the smell of desolation and death.
"Oh!" Han Shuo exclaimed. Through the yin demon's observation, he saw a strange stone tablet. There were even some words carved on the upright stone tablet. This made Han Shuo decide to immediately go over and take a look.
