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. The wizard and sprite in Heltzburg had fainted from the poison. If it was dark, he might not be able to control the direction of the incident.
There was a faint red light in the gray fog. Scarlet sparks danced in the air. They were pieces of paper, wood chips, and dust that had not been 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 towards the direction of 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 to 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 shaped like a lion's head. It stood in the eerie 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 starving. It opened its mouth and picked up a few unconscious sprites on the ground. It raised its dragon's mouth and swallowed them.
Its sharp teeth cut the sprites in half. The burnt smell filled the air. The scene made people's feet curl up and their hair stand on end.
"Damn sprites, they got caught in their own trap!"
Huo Fa muttered to himself in an inaudible voice.
The fireball had half a sprite 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.
Hoffa saw that he had successfully attracted its attention. He did not dare to act rashly and quickly retreated to a corner.
It was not like last year when he was being taught by the four great founders. In his current state, facing this dangerous, violent and hungry fire dragon was completely suicidal.
When the fireball moved forward, Hoffa retreated.
When the fireball went left, Hoffa went right.
He always kept it at a distance.
The man and the dragon went back and forth like a seesaw. Both of them looked extremely patient.
............. He slowly stepped back to the wooden suspension bridge, hoping to keep the distance and fly out as a thunderbird when Aglaea returned. Fireball's wings were so short that it didn't seem to be good at flying.
But at that moment, a drop of liquid fell from the sky and landed on the back of Huo Fa's hand.
His expression froze. Why were there body fluids that hadn't evaporated under the high temperature of the fireball?
...
.........................
He looked up.
There was a slender creature clinging to the wooden bridge above his head.
It was small in size, about the size of an adult. It should not be an adult among the dragon species. Its color was quite bright. Its pearl-like scales were iridescent. Sparkle glowed. But its eyes were quite strange. It did not have pupils, only the whites of its eyes.
It was it that was looking at him and drooling.
Hoffa's heart sank little by little. Looking at its appearance, it must be the egg white eye that disappeared. It was the main culprit behind the fall of the sprites and wizards here.
"Hiss!!"
The egg white eye looked at the young man below. It opened its wings and let out a sharp hiss.
It seemed to be reminding the fireball in the distance. The fireball in the distance let out a roar and smashed the boxes at an extremely fast speed. 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.
A heat wave came from the other side!
Not good, behind!
The fireball cunningly turned and launched a sneak attack from the right.
Hoffa raised his right arm without thinking. A hemispherical shield immediately emerged from his left arm and covered his body.
The claw and the shield collided. The ground shattered.
Hoffa stepped back three meters, leaving two plough marks on the volcanic ground. Hydrostatics made him cough up a mouthful of blood. His left forearm was instantly bent.
The next second, the tremendous force completely shattered the magic shield.
Hoffa was smacked 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 pressed its wings to the ground. The rolling smoke rose. A pair of burning eyes the size of bowls appeared in the thick smoke.
It opened its mouth. 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. They grabbed the neck of the fire-breathing creature and forcibly changed the direction of the flames to 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 thirty degrees outward. He held the broken bone of his left arm with his right arm. Biting his lips, he forced 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 almost exhausted his magic power. Now he could only hope that Aglaia would bring him the potion soon.
Boom!!
The fireball twisted wildly, trying to break free from the stone hands that bound it.
It didn't have enough strength to break free.
It raised its head and roared. The temperature in the air rose again. All the combustible materials around it were all burned. The stone hands turned into red-hot 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 came alone. Just then, two more Eggeyes came out from the other side. These two were even bigger than the previous one.
Aglaia still hadn't returned. Hoffa looked at his watch and complained in his heart. 'What should I do?'
The Eggeyes maintained a distance from the fireball. They flanked him like wingmen. Although they weren't big, they were more than enough to tear him apart.
He clenched his teeth and pulled out a large iron rod from the wooden box beside him. He was prepared to use it to defend himself.
But at this moment, he heard a loud sound behind him.
Boom!!
Hoffa was shocked. He thought that the fireball had caught up. But upon closer look, it wasn't the fireball …
A six-meter-tall Mountain Troll pounded its chest, smashing the mountain wall and pouncing at Huo Fa with its hands and feet, smashing away an Egg-White Eye that was pouncing at him from the air.
The Eggeye let out a wail and flew backwards, crashing into the fireball's head. The fireball was shocked. It immediately stopped its pursuit and observed from afar.
The troll, as tall as four grown men, stood before Hoffa and thumped its chest twice, while its ugly, potato-like face split open to reveal a mouthful of jagged incisors, as if to demonstrate its prowess to him.
Looking at that mountain troll, Hoffa was in despair. First it was a China fireball, then an Eggeye and now a gigantic mountain troll …. Even a god wouldn't 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 to ride on the mountain troll's body.
He didn't dare to hesitate. He stepped on the mountain troll's knee and jumped onto the mountain troll's shoulder, grabbing onto Aglaia's arm.
Behind the mountain troll was a circular protruding saddle. 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 the medicine is fake and can't be used."
"Dogshit!"
Hoffa rubbed his brows. "These crazy demons!"
Aglaia didn't reply. She pursed her lips and flung the reins.
That mountain troll nimbly sprinted. As it ran, it waved its arms that were as thick as Hoffa's waist. The boxes and buildings that obstructed them were all smashed into smithereens.
That fireball who was observing from the sidelines immediately became arrogant when it saw the mountain troll running away. The mountain troll was panting in front while the fireball behind it wasn't slow at all. 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. "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. He could command the mountain troll like his own arm. No wonder it could run blindfolded as though it was on flat ground.
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 a glance. He saw that fireball was following behind them and 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. Boom! The suspension bridge broke apart.
Hoffa controlled the mountain troll to grab onto the crack in the suspension bridge. Under the immense inertia, it was like a swing and smashed against the mountain wall.
Fireball missed his footing and fell to the ground with his back facing down.
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 had seen 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 force 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 descend.
Hoffa heaved a sigh of relief. It was indeed not 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 a protruding rock. Like Tarzan, it carried Hoffa and Aglaia and rapidly climbed up the mountain wall.
Aglaia looked at the fireball that was 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 …"
Thinking of the man's words before he left, Hoffa asked, "Do you know him?"
"Why should I know such a thug?" Aglaia asked back. "He wants to kill us!"
