"Rumble——!!

The huge red fire dragon roared and wreaked havoc in the cave, fueled by the dark purple electric light, the fluctuating energy instantly eroded the entire space, turning the place into scorched earth, and the "undead" who had turned into monsters had no time to flee before they vaporized in the flames, and even the leading giant monster collapsed powerlessly after a short struggle, and finally turned to ashes and dissipated.

Gradually, the shaking of the ground slowly subsided, and among the flame-filled ruins, Jiang Yao fell to his knees with half-open eyes, motionless in the scorching breath that came to his face.

The red Zhurong inscription slowly disappeared from between his eyebrows, and his consciousness sinked up and down in the fading red light around him. In his blurred vision, he seemed to see a hazy tall figure standing in front of him.

「…… How could it turn out like this...... What a mistake......

An ethereal and familiar sigh came from the faint front of him, and a red phantom appeared in the chaotic vision.

You...... Is it ......?

The sharp pain from the collarbone made Jiang Yao's consciousness awake instantly, he lowered his head in pain, and in the thunderous heartbeat, he "saw" a blood-colored point of light floated out of the ground, burrowing into the "death mark" that emitted black light on his body, and with the submerge of that point of light, the originally uncontrollable rushing power in his body began to gradually subside, and the roar that lingered in the depths of his soul slowly weakened, and finally silently.

What's there...... Got into my body?

Jiang Yao's heart tightened, but before he could think about it, he heard a calm male voice sound again, and this time the voice was no longer far away to Jiang Yao's ears.

"Hey...... I really didn't expect that this 'Seven Star Soul Binding Array' was accidentally involved in the 'amazing thing', and it was 'recalled' by your 'Zhurong Power'...... Is this providence?"

Jiang Yao raised his head tremblingly, and looked at the red-haired man in front of him in surprise, but saw that the other party was looking at him with a complicated look, and seemed to be muttering something to himself.

"Gluttony...... Gluttony?...... What did you just say?" In a state of near collapse, Jiang Yao no longer had the strength to delve into anything, although he had regained consciousness, his head was still a little trance, and violent tinnitus filled his ears.

"Nothing. But I didn't expect that only one ten-thousandth of the 'Zhurong Power' could exert such a destructive power in your body, and it would have caused such a big disaster, and I wouldn't have let you go to Baoyan Pavilion before I knew it......" Tao Tao smiled, looked around helplessly, and Jiang Yao, who had come back to his senses, followed and looked around, only to find that this mountain cave had been completely destroyed by the fire, leaving only devastation, like a lava hell.

"This, I did it......!" Jiang Yao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh no! what about the others?!"

Jiang Yao's face turned pale, he realized what a big mistake he had made before, he suddenly got up from the ground, turned around, but saw Mu Jianyun and Qingyu Zhou Wentao lying behind him on their backs, motionless.

"......!!" Jiang Yao was stunned, for a while his head seemed to be hit by five thunders, and he was almost about to kneel, but at this moment, he heard the untimely taunt of the gluttony float over from behind him again:

"Don't worry, it's just that I've fainted, and I can't die. ”

Tao Tao said, slowly approaching the three people who fell to the ground, and Jiang Yao only found out at this time that there were no traces of burning within a few meters of diameter around Mu Jianyun, as if there was an invisible protective shield surrounding them, so they escaped, and the only person who could do this at the moment seemed to be only one person.

"It's you...... Saved them?" Jiang Yao said as he looked at the red-haired man in front of him incredulously.

"Hehe......" Tao Tao snorted coldly, did not answer directly, but glanced in a certain direction in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned around again, took out a blue-green bead from his pocket, and put it into the pocket on Zhou Wentao's chest. As the blue light on the surface of the bead gradually brightened, the black mist around the three of them was also instantly dispersed.

"I didn't expect the 'air avoidance bead' I picked up to come in handy here. Tao Tao smiled and got up to look at Jiang Yao. "What are you still grinding around here? Without the protection of the 'Power of Zhurong', you will not survive in the miasma for ten minutes. ”

"Oh no!" Jiang Yao woke up suddenly, and hurriedly stumbled forward to check on everyone's situation.

As Tao Tao said, the three people on the ground still have breath, but among them, Zhou Wentao's situation seems to be extremely serious, the scratch on his chest that exudes black gas is deeply engraved into his body, and even his breathing has become weaker and weaker.

"Oh no, we need to get them out of here!"

Jiang Yao said anxiously, leaning over to pick up Zhou Wentao, but before he could make a move, his body suddenly shook violently, and at that moment, a strong uneasiness pierced his heart like ice, and the trembling and horror that penetrated deep into his soul instantly exploded in his head!

"Wow ——!!"

The violent vibration resounded throughout the space again, and this time the scale was far from comparable to the previous one, the remaining pillars around him continued to tilt and shatter in the vibration, but what made Jiang Yao even more frightened was that he found that the ground under his feet was beginning to crack rapidly, and with those cracks that kept opening, a heart-palpitating roar floated from the depths of the ground.

"This, this is ......!?" Jiang Yao was startled, and looked up at the glutton, but found that the other party's face had an expected expression.

"The 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' was destroyed by you, so the things that were originally suppressed under the formation have also woken up. Gluttony said helplessly, suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. "Yo, it's just in time, it's up to you to send them out. ”

“…… I can't imagine that our tribe has been guarding the battle for thousands of years, and it will be destroyed like this...... Is this providence?"

A calm male voice sounded from behind the glutton, Jiang Yao took a look, and suddenly found that a strange man with brown skin and black hair appeared not far away at some point, and was silently watching him.

"If it weren't for the destruction of the formation, you wouldn't be able to get here, would you? ”

Gluttony said, ignoring Jiang Yao's stunned expression, pointed at the strange man, and ordered Jiang Yao: "He knows the exit, you take the others to follow him, leave now!"

"What about you, don't you go together?" Jiang Yao suppressed the doubts in his heart and shouted to the glutton.

"I'll have to clean up the mess for you......" Gluttony sighed and looked at his feet.

"But, but your demonic power has not been ......"

"Don't you humans have a saying, 'A skinny camel is bigger than a horse', if I can't do anything without demonic power, Lu Jingyi will still send me?"

"This is Zhou Wenhai's remnant soul, summoned back by the 'Soul Gathering' effect of the 'Zhurong Power' you released earlier, put it away. Tao Tao said, and gave the crystal bottle to Jiang Yao. "Before, Zhou Wenhai may have inadvertently approached the 'Seven Star Beam Soul Array', so some of the souls were involved, but now that the magic circle has been broken, he is naturally not bound. ”

"That's what it is...... Brother Wen Hai's ......" Jiang Yao carefully took the 'Rong Soul Bottle' from the glutton's hand and put it in his arms.

"We can't afford to delay any longer...... Let's go. The black-haired man looked at the ground that was gradually shattering under his feet, his brows furrowed slightly, and then his hands quickly sealed, and a light blue translucent sphere quickly wrapped Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun and the others, and carried them away from the ground, and with the words in this person's mouth, the sphere rose higher and higher, and before Jiang Yao could say anything, he disappeared into the air with the sphere and everyone.

"I'll leave the rest to you. The black-haired man nodded to the glutton, then his figure moved, and then disappeared.

"Alas...... Look at the 'good deeds' this kid has done, it took so much effort to set up these 'evil arrays' back then, and it's all in vain......"

Gluttony looked around at the disintegrating grotto and the violently shaking cave, complained helplessly, and then turned around, looked directly at the shadow behind the pillar in the distance, and said with a smile:

"Speaking of which...... Your precious apprentice is gone, won't you catch up?"

"......" A pretty figure slowly walked out of the column, and in the faint orange-red light, the beautiful but expressionless face of the white pheasant gradually disappeared from the shadows.

"Hehe, if you have the ability to protect Mu Jianyun and them under the fire of Zhurong, you can only think about it. Gluttony looked at the calm face in front of him and continued. "I just didn't expect that a big man like you would be possessed by a little demon, and even I was almost blinded by you. ”

“…… It's just a trace of spiritual power lurking in her, and if she really wants to possess her, her body can't bear it. "The 'white pheasant' shook his head slightly, looked at the glutton, and said. "Having said that, you should have known that Jiang Yao was my apprentice, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have deliberately sent him to Zhu Rong. ”

"If it weren't for your relationship, where would you be able to borrow the power of Zhurong?" said with a gluttonous smile. "When I first saw the 'Thunder Stone' on Jiang Yao's body, I guessed that it was you, after all, this was originally your personal token. It's just that what I don't understand is why you suddenly appeared here after you disappeared for so many years, knowing that your side has become a mess after you disappeared......

"Removing some identity constraints gives you a better chance to get closer to the truth, isn't it the same for you?"

The 'white pheasant' looked at the gluttony and seemed to have something to say.

"As for this incident, according to my investigation, the mutation that occurred here was not a simple accident, those foreigners who were used as pawns back then should have used some means to break the corner of the magic circle, and guide the evil spirits to invade the bodies of the undead to turn them into demonic monsters, but they were unable to come out of the formation for a while because of the constraints of the 'Evil Array'. ”

"It's a pity that it wasn't released by a group of humans in the end?" said Gluttony with a shrug. "But those foreigners can guide evil spirits to invade the corpses of the undead, which is not normal in itself, as far as I know, there should be only one thing that can manipulate souls......"

"'Soul Stone'. ”

The 'white pheasant' looked at the gluttonous expression and gave the answer.

"That is, the ...... that you are tracking down Forbidden Magic Stone. ”
