The flaming humanoids gathered from all directions, and left a trail of smoking footprints beneath their feet, and around them, the temperature rose rapidly, and even the plants a few meters away withered at a visible rate.
After receiving Nolan's report on the monsters, this was the first time Hao Ren saw these "unknown lifeforms" with his own eyes.
They were not much different from a normal human, and they had clear limbs and torsos, but other than the layer of flames, the insides of these monsters were empty, as if an invisible person had draped a layer of flame over their body. But the MDT's scan showed that there were no invisible people, and the flames were indeed hollow.
"Hollow humanoids huh …" As he saw the monsters, Hao Ren had a thoughtful look on his face, as if what he saw had confirmed a bold guess, and beside him, Rheia gripped her iron staff tightly. "What are these monsters!"
The great scholar cum mage cum martial arts master Rheia swore to the heavens that she had never seen such strange monsters in her books!
"A monster that suddenly came out of the ground, its target is most likely to destroy the world," Hao Ren said quickly. "The one in front of us is probably a small fry wandering around the periphery. Most of the monsters have gone to besiege White Maple Leaf City."
"How do you know?" Rheia looked at Hao Ren in surprise, but the flaming monsters that were charging at her soon made her forget about the details. "Whoa — They're coming!"
"Boom!!"
Along with a loud bang, a fireball the size of a washbasin was thrown out by Y'lisabet with all her might. The fireball exploded in mid-air, and three burning monsters that were pouncing over were instantly torn into pieces by the shockwave, turning into ashes that filled the sky.
Even though the monsters looked like they were burning, but there was no such thing as "fire creatures are immune to fire damage".
But to be honest, even if these guys were immune to fire damage, it was useless. The little demon loli's Fireball did not rely solely on high temperature to kill her enemies. That thing had a stone core filled with demonic energy, and 60% of the damage it dealt was physical …
Hao Ren swung his Gungnir and plasma warblade to cut a charging monster into pieces, and at the same time shouted, "Don't just stand there, kill these guys first!"
The group fought as they retreated, and while the scary looking flaming monsters were lethal to normal humans, but for the experienced Hao Ren's team and Rheia who could kill a cow with a single punch, they were not too difficult to deal with, but the Dark Forest that was slowly burning was not a place to linger, and they managed to break through the monster's encirclement and rush to the plains outside the forest.
And the plains were beyond recognition.
The ground suddenly tore apart, and a horrifying fissure that was hundreds of kilometers long appeared out of thin air, and smaller fissures spread out like a spider web, cutting the entire plains into pieces, and what Hao Ren saw before him was a shattered land, and the once vibrant vegetation of the plains had turned into ashes under the scorching flames, and the roaming wildfire had replaced the stampede of beasts on the plains, and flames spewed out from the fissures everywhere, and it reminded one of the inferno of the legends.
Y 'zaks saw this and could not help but think of his home, but seeing the terrible expression on Rheia's face, he could not bring himself to smile.
Not only were there fissures and wildfire everywhere on the plains, but there were also flaming humanoid monsters, and compared to the few that ran into the Dark Forest, the number of monsters roaming the plains was much higher.
Hao Ren and his team quickly attracted the attention of a few groups of monsters, and the flaming humanoids let out a soundless roar as they charged at them from all directions.
While Rheia was still full of questions, she was not one to dwell on the details, especially in a situation like this. The mage lady immediately threw all the questions in her mind aside and gripped her staff tightly, ready to deal with the problem in front of her.
But before she could activate her Charge + Leap Slash combo, Hao Ren stopped her. "There will be no end to this, let's just charge in."
Rheia was stunned, and just as she was about to ask how they were going to charge through the burning fissures and hordes of monsters, she saw Hao Ren's gaze turned towards the werewolf greatswordsman named Lily.
"What?" Lily was stunned by Hao Ren's gaze, and could not react for a moment, and looked down at her tail. "Is there something on my tail?"
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison, "Eat spicy sticks!"
Lily was stunned for a moment, and only then did she remember that the alloy giant X1024 sword in her hand was just a decoration, and she also remembered the steel Garuru suit that she had just made before they set off, and instantly smiled. She then took out a pack of spicy sticks from her pocket, tore open the packaging and stuffed it into her mouth. "Watch me!!"
As Lily stuffed the spicy sticks into her mouth, Nangong Sanba could not help but whisper to Hao Ren, "Mr. Landlord, is it really okay to let Lily transform? What if the werewolves in this world don't … "
"First of all, in a disaster like this, there's no need to care so much about the details, and secondly …" Hao Ren saw a gust of air around Lily, and the corner of his mouth curled up. "If I'm not wrong, soon we won't have to worry about the 'setting' of this world."
As soon as his voice trailed off, Lily was surrounded by a tornado. Everyone quickly retreated and put up all kinds of protection. From the blinding airflow and dust, there was a loud howl. "Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot —"
Aside from Rheia, the rest of the party had a dumbfounded look on their faces. They had seen Lily transform more than once, and every time they heard her signature howl, it was just a woof, and this was the first time they heard a human speak, and they did not expect it to be something like this.
Vivian could not help but look at Hao Ren, and the latter slapped himself on the head. "Doggy communicator … So that's what she yells every time she transforms."
Only then did everyone understand, and they all lamented that she might as well have yelled black magic transformation. Either way, the level of embarrassment was the same, and the second slogan was more or less similar to a pretty girl …
Rheia, on the other hand, had no time to lament anything, and she could only gape at the mighty figure that appeared in the wind. A five-meter-tall husky covered in advanced armor, armed to the teeth and the tip of its tail.
The flaming monsters that came from all directions were slowed down by the sudden gust of wind. Now that her transformation was complete, the fearless monsters immediately let out hollow roars and charged at her in a chaotic and violent manner.

And like most qualified warriors, they would die on the way.
Lily swung her head coolly, and the four-lens composite tactical eyepiece transformed and covered her face, and her imposing voice came from the doggy communicator. "Activate the Titan Armor! Activate the fire-control platform, lock on all enemy targets, beam weapons … Hey hey hey, I haven't even finished, why did you fire already! "
Halfway through the husky's sentence, the high-energy beam platform installed on her back and side had completed its activation and targeting process, and under the control of the tactical AI, countless destructive lasers swept towards the charging monsters.
It could not be helped, these were all fast reaction weapons, and the time between activation and firing was just that short. After Lily gave the order to fire, the weapons started to operate on their own, and her whole set of chuunibyou lines was enough for the laser cannons to fire twice …
Furthermore, with the speed of the monsters, by the time she was done with her chuunibyou, the enemies would have already arrived …
As Lily was vexed that her cool entrance was ruined, Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry as he kicked her … paw (It could not be helped, the five-meter-tall husky was too big, and kicking her knee had her bouncing). "Don't be stupid! Bring us to White Maple Leaf City! "
As he said that, he pulled out a remote control from his Dimensional Pocket, and with a press, a beep came from within Lily's armor. With another press, the armor on Lily's back opened up, and the cockpit and passenger shields rose up from within.
As Hao Ren and the rest dragged the dizzy Rheia onto his back, Lily could not help but shake her head as she mumbled, "Mr. Landlord, to be honest, I still think this thing is a little weird …"
"I'll stew ten pounds of pork ribs for you later."
"Alright! All of you, sit tight! My hundred-kilometer acceleration is half a second! "
As Lily said that, she stepped forward, twisted her waist, and with a kick of her hind legs, she … leapt out like a dog out of leash. A few of the flaming monsters stood in front of her, and she did not even bother with the close-range cannons as she stomped on them, turning them into sparks and ashes.
The normal flaming monsters were no match for Lily in her current state, and not to mention the powerful cannons, even the fireballs thrown by the monsters could not break through even the weakest part of Lily's armor.
But that was in a one-on-one situation.
The entire Great Plain was filled with cracks, and scorching flames were constantly rising from those cracks. Along with the flames were those hollow humanoid monsters. Wherever the flames reached, they would spread. This could only mean one thing.
A huge number.
So after showing off for a while, Lily entered the area with the densest monsters, and when ten thousand of them threw fireballs at her, even the werehusky with the advanced armor could not help but exclaim. Her cowardly side was about to come online.
"Turn on breakout mode, and use the navigation radar to lead the way." Hao Ren sat on the seat on Lily's back and taught the werehusky how to use the advanced armor. "That way, we can avoid the areas with the most monsters."
As Lily used the close-range cannons to destroy the flaming monsters nearby, she followed Hao Ren's instructions and turned on the navigation system, but after running for a while, she exclaimed again, "Mr. Landlord! Why do the monsters seem to know where I'm going?! "
Hao Ren was stunned as he craned his neck to take a look, and saw a blinking light on Lily's shoulder, and immediately yelled, "Turn off the turn signal!"
"So why did you design a turn signal for me, Mr. Landlord!" Lily yelled as she clumsily switched the system, and the next second, the wipers on her radar screen started moving …
Hao Ren could not see what was happening on the radar screen, and he only answered Lily's question loudly, "Because you stepped on me six times when you were testing the armor! It's too damn dangerous not to install a turn signal for you! "
Rheia was so stunned that she lost her expression, and she just sat in her seat and mumbled to herself, "So can someone tell me … what happened?"
No matter what, the armored husky still managed to carve a path of fire and monsters, and White Maple Leaf City was right in front of it.
