After his partner left, Hoffa looked up at the sky. The sky above was gradually turning from light red to dark red. The sun was about to set. It would not be easy to leave this volcanic basin under the last rays of sunlight.
The motive and purpose of the strange man was still a mystery, but Hoffa did not have time to think about it now. The wizards and fairies in Heltzburg were poisoned and fainted. If it was dark, he might not be able to control the direction of the incident.
There was a faint red light in the thick gray fog. Scarlet sparks danced in the air. They were pieces of paper, wood shavings, and dust that were not completely burned. The colorful ores on the mountain wall were now left with only one color.
Red.
He slowly walked out of his hiding place and crawled toward the fireball dragon. At the same time, his Mental Energy Field spread out on the ground like a spider web. He wanted to attract the attention of the fire dragon to buy time for his companions to find the magic potion.
The fireball had its back facing Hoffa. It was rummaging in the middle of the box.
Huo Fa gradually closed in on it. Thirty meters … twenty meters …
The fireball snorted and turned around abruptly. A burnt smell floated in the air.
At that moment, Hoffa saw the creature clearly. It was about nineteen feet long, with a long and sharp tail and a head that was shaped like a lion's head. It stood in the eerie thick fog. Its whole body was shining with red scales. There was a hot orange light in the gaps between the scales.
Compared to the green dragon and the black dragon he saw last time, its body was much smaller. Its wings were also much smaller, as if they had degenerated. However, the extremely high temperature that was everywhere was almost roasting Hoffa.
It was probably very hungry. It opened its mouth and picked up a few unconscious fairies on the ground. It raised its dragon's mouth and swallowed them whole.
Its sharp teeth cut the fairies in half. The burnt smell filled the air. The scene made people's feet curl up and their hair stand on end.
"Damn fairies, they got caught in their own trap!"
Huo Fa muttered to himself in an inaudible voice.
The fireball had half a fairy in its mouth. It shook its head and looked for him. It seemed that because of Hoffa's presence, it could not eat in peace.
Seeing that he had successfully attracted its attention, Hoffa did not dare to be reckless and quickly retreated to a corner.
Now was not the same as last year when he was being taught by the four great founders. In his current state, directly facing this dangerous, violent, and hungry fire dragon was completely suicidal.
As the fireball advanced, Hoffa retreated.
When the fireball moved to the left, Hoffa moved to the right.
It was always hanging from a certain distance.
The man and the dragon went back and forth like a seesaw. Both of them looked very patient.
'It's effective. I just need to maintain this distance!' He slowly retreated to the wooden suspension bridge. He wanted to maintain this distance and wait for Aglaia to return before transforming into a Thunderbird and flying away. Fireball's wings were so short that it didn't seem to be good at flying.
But at this moment, a drop of liquid fell from the sky and landed on the back of Hoffa's hand.
His expression froze. Why were there body fluids that hadn't evaporated under the high temperature of the fireball?
Drip.
Another drop of liquid dripped onto his hand. Then it was followed by two drops, three drops.
He looked up.
It turned out that on the wooden suspension bridge above his head, there was a slender creature clinging to it.
It was small in size, about the size of an adult. It should have not yet reached adulthood among the dragon species. Its color was quite bright, its pearl-like scales were iridescent. Sparkle shone, but its eyes were quite strange. It didn't have pupils, only the whites of its eyes.
It was looking at him, drooling drop by drop.
Hoffa's heart sank little by little. Looking at its appearance, it must be the egg white eye that disappeared, the culprit behind the fall of the sprites and wizards here.
"Hiss!!"
The egg white eye looked at the young man below, opened its wings, and let out a sharp hiss.
It seemed to be warning the fireball in the distance. The fireball in the distance let out a roar and quickly smashed the boxes. Hoffa exerted force on his heel and suddenly turned around. The smoke and dust scattered. There was nothing.
He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. The social nature of these dangerous creatures was far beyond his expectations.
They actually cooperated to hunt.
The heat wave came from the other side!
Not good, behind!
The fireball cunningly turned around and launched a sneak attack from the right.
Hoffa raised his right arm without thinking, and a hemispherical shield immediately appeared from his left arm and covered his body.
The claw and the shield collided, and the ground shattered.
Hoffa stepped back three meters, leaving two plough marks on the volcanic ground. The hydrostatics made his throat taste sweet, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His left forearm was instantly bent.
The next second, the tremendous force completely shattered the magic shield.
Hoffa was slapped away like a cannonball.
Boom!!
He flew back thirty meters and crashed into a pile of boxes. Hoffa was directly drowned by the gravel and wood.
The fireball's wings pressed on the ground, and rolling thick smoke rose up. A pair of burning eyes as big as bowls appeared in the thick smoke.
It opened its mouth, and the oxygen in the air was sucked dry. The light in the depths of its throat was almost comparable to the surface of the sun.
The dragon's breath was about to be triggered!
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the pile of gravel and clenched into a fist.
"Crushing Grasp!!"
Pa!!
Countless huge stone hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed the neck of the fire-spitting creature, forcibly changing the direction of the spitting flames and shooting them into the sky.
Then, the dense stone hands pressed down on the creature layer by layer.
Hoffa leaped out of the pile of stones with a pair of wings on his back. His entire left arm was bent at a thirty-degree angle. He held the broken bone in his left arm with his right arm, bit his lip, and forcefully twisted it. He, who had been ill for a long time, directly straightened the bone back to its original position.
In the activated state, magic power was transformed into life. Cells quickly divided, and his broken arm quickly healed. The wings on his back disappeared. Hoffa moved his arm and quickly retreated.
What he did just now had almost exhausted his magic power. Now he could only hope that Aglaia would bring him the magic potion soon.
Boom!!
The fireball twisted wildly, trying to break free from the stone hands that bound it.
It was not strong enough to break free.
It raised its head and roared. The temperature in the air rose, and all the combustible materials around it were all burned. The stone hands turned into hot red magma and flowed down from its body.
Amidst the billowing smoke, it broke free.
Hoffa felt that his head was about to be cooked.
I can't beat it, I can't beat it …
He looked around. Misfortune never comes alone. Just then, two more egg-like eyes came out from the other side. These two were even bigger than the previous one.
Aglaia had not returned yet. Hoffa looked at his watch and complained in his heart. What should he do?
The egg-like eyes and fireball maintained a distance and flanked him like wingmen. Although they were not big, it was more than enough to tear him apart.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out a large iron rod from the wooden box beside him, preparing to use it to defend himself.
But just then, he heard a loud sound from behind him.
Boom!!
Hoffa was shocked. He thought that fireball had caught up. But upon closer look, it was not fireball …
A six-meter-tall Mountain Troll pounded its chest and smashed the mountain wall. It pounced at Huo Fa with its hands and feet, smashing away an Egg-White Eye that was pouncing at Huo Fa.
The egg-like eye let out a wail and flew backwards, crashing into fireball's head. Fireball was shocked. He immediately stopped his pursuit and observed from afar.
The mountain troll was as tall as four grown men. It stood in front of Hoffa and pounded its chest twice. Its ugly, potato-like face cracked open, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, as if it was trying to intimidate Hoffa.
Looking at that mountain troll, Hoffa was in despair. First it was a China fireball, then an egg-like eye, and now a gigantic mountain troll … even a god would not be able to withstand it!
He took a step back and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand. He attempted to risk his life when the mountain troll attacked him.
But at this moment, a pair of rabbit ears peeked out from behind the mountain troll.
"Don't attack! Come up quickly! "
The girl anxiously shouted.
The situation flipped once again. Hoffa widened his eyes. This girl was actually so quick-witted, riding on top of the mountain troll.
He didn't dare to hesitate. He stepped on the mountain troll's knee and jumped onto its shoulder, grabbing onto Aglaia's arm.
The mountain troll had a circular protruding saddle on its back. It wasn't big, but fortunately, both of them were rather skinny.
After sitting on the saddle, Hoffa immediately asked. "Where's the medicine?"
"I found the place you mentioned." Aglaia replied. "But those medicines are all fake, there's no way to use them."
"Dogshit!"
Hoffa rubbed his brows. "These crazy demons!"
Aglaia didn't reply. She pursed her lips and flung the reins.
That mountain troll was surprisingly nimble as it sprinted. As it ran, it waved its arms that were as thick as Hoffa's waist. The boxes and buildings that obstructed them were smashed into smithereens.
That fireball who was observing from the sidelines immediately became arrogant when it saw the mountain troll running away. While the mountain troll was running on all fours, the fireball behind wasn't slow either. In fact, it was even faster. After all, it only needed to run and didn't need to open a path.
Seeing that the fire dragon was getting closer and closer, Hoffa hugged onto Aglaia's waist. He tilted his head to look at the fireball baring its fangs and brandishing its claws on the suspension bridge. He thought to himself, I don't need to watch movies anymore …
The situation was getting more and more urgent. He surveyed the surroundings and said to Aglaia. "Let's go to the suspension bridge!"
"It's too heavy, what if it collapses?" Aglaia asked.
"Let's go up first." Hoffa snatched the reins from Aglaia's hands. "I'll ride, you break the suspension bridge!"
The two of them immediately swapped positions. The moment he grabbed the reins, Hoffa felt a numbing sensation on his spine.
It turns out that the reins were enchanted. When he grabbed onto it, it was as though he had an additional body, allowing him to command the mountain troll like his own arm. No wonder it could run like it was on flat ground even when it was blindfolded.
The two of them rode the mountain troll up the swaying suspension bridge. They were tens of metres off the ground.
Indeed, as Aglaia had said, this thing was too heavy. Once they stepped on it, the suspension bridge collapsed and emitted an ominous creaking sound.
Seeing that the suspension bridge was getting tighter, Aglaia pulled out her magic wand and asked loudly. "What do we do now?"
Hoffa turned his head and swept his gaze. He saw that fireball was following behind them, charging ferociously up the suspension bridge.
He immediately shouted. "Now, hurry!"
"Break into pieces!" Aglaia pointed her magic wand at the suspension bridge below them, the suspension bridge broke into pieces.
Hoffa controlled the mountain troll to grab onto the crack in the suspension bridge. Under the immense inertia, it was like a swing as it smashed against the mountain wall.
Fireball missed his footing and fell with his back facing the ground.
Just as it fell off the suspension bridge, it opened its mouth and spat out a high temperature breath. Its breath was different from the black dragon that Hoffa saw previously. The black dragon's breath was continuous, but this fireball's breath was like a fireball, blasting out from its throat one by one. When the fireball came into contact with the buildings and the mountain, it exploded like an explosive.
Under the high temperature and explosion, the magical stone pillars in the Haertz Castle were blown to smithereens and collapsed with a loud bang.
The two of them hid behind the mountain troll's head. Hoffa controlled the mountain troll to raise its arms to block the power of the explosion.
Three seconds later, the explosion subsided. Hoffa peeked his head out to take a look.
The fireball was clawing at the mountain wall, flapping its wings, but it still continued to fall.
Hoffa heaved a sigh of relief. It really wasn't good at flying.
Turning his head, he looked at the exit of the basin above them. The mountain troll used its magic to grab onto the protruding rocks. Like Tarzan, it carried Hoffa and Aglaia and rapidly climbed up the mountain wall.
Aglaia looked at the fireball charging around at the bottom of the valley. She said with lingering fear, "It's really crazy. There are so many people, but they just don't want to let us go …"
Recalling what the man said before he left, Hoffa asked, "Do you know him?"
"Why should I know that kind of thug?" Aglaia retorted. "He wants to kill us!"
