In the long history of human development, there are countless legends of demons, gods and ghosts, some of which are made up, but some are real.

Although hell, heaven, and the human world exist in different dimensional worlds, there are always some passages in these worlds, and these passages are extremely secret, and few lives will be discovered.

But there are some beings who will always stumble through these passages and reach another world.

Compared with weak humans, it is obviously easier for life to survive in the human world by mistake, and these are the prototypes of those monsters in human legends.

However, these strayed beings have no way to find their way back, and the passage connecting the world will not always exist in one place, so they can't return the same way at all, plus they don't go to other worlds through regular channels, so most of them are equivalent to exile.

Most of the people who can't go back to hell or heaven will have a reduced lifespan due to the lack of magic in the world, and although they will definitely live longer than humans who go to hell by mistake, they will still die in a few years or decades.

But there are also a small number of people who not only survive, but also adapted to the human environment and began to reproduce, although these offspring are basically unable to possess magical powers.

Hestifo is a strange country that can give birth to demons, of course, there will be a high concentration of magic here, and the Esgol Desert is close to Hestif, so it naturally has a certain amount of magic content, so the hell life here is relatively slow to degenerate.

"Since there are earthly flame lizards here, it means that those demons who have stayed in the world for a long time may also be here. ”

Looking at the huge group of red lizards blocking his door, Chen Ming pondered, "The power of the Magic Tower is no less than that of the church, and if it has not been operated for a long time, it will never be able to develop to this point. ”

"In Hell, there are demons who deliberately seek these unconstrained passages to other worlds. ”

Shaqiluo said lightly, "If the power of the Demon Tower really exists, then this is the most likely place where they are. ”

"There's still a long way to go, because we have to be hidden this time, so we can't fly at high altitudes. ”

Chen Ming touched his chin and said with a wicked smile, "It's better to catch two lizards as a means of transportation, so that you can not only hide your footsteps, but also speed up your travel!"

"Whatever you want. ”

Compared to Chenming's enthusiasm, Shaqiluo was obviously not interested in these things, and casually glanced around, then turned back to the house.

Even though the number of lizards was extremely large, their opponent was a high-level demon Chen Ming, who just casually released a magic power to suppress it, and these earth flame lizards, who were generally less than the fourth order, wailed in fear for a while, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

After picking a sixth-order lizard queen, Chen Ming released the other Earth Flame Lizards, his main purpose was just to travel secretly, and he was not the kind of demon who loved to kill, as long as he achieved his goal, he would not harm more lives.

At noon, the two of them rode on the mighty Earth Flame Lizard King, and set off for the deeper hinterland of the desert under the scorching sun in the sky.

As the road deepened, Chen Ming felt the rise in the surrounding temperature, and even the air in some places even spontaneously combusted.

"The closer you get to the center, the higher the concentration of mana, and the more powerful the curse becomes. ”

Feeling the high temperature around him, which was close to Baidu, Chen Ming squinted slightly, and the vast magic power rippled, covering the surrounding area of more than ten kilometers.

"There's still no breath of life here......

The speed of the ground fire lizards was fast, and their travel speed was also extremely fast, but even when they were close to the center, they did not find any other traces of life activity except for the group of ground fire lizards in the morning.

"Further ahead, there's the Eye of Hell in the center. ”

Retracting his gaze, Chen Ming lowered his head and thought, "The soil under your feet is starting to turn red, which is also related to the power of the curse there. ”

The curse that can envelop the entire desert, in addition to the eighth-order magic, Chen Ming really can't think of other possibilities, he is a seventh-order magic, and after going deeper, he may be able to resist the invasion of the curse, the only thing he is worried about is Shaqiluo behind him, her magic power has been sealed by An Mixiu, even with the protection of the black rabbit, Chen Ming is still a little uneasy.

"Although I don't have magic in my body, the curse can't eat away at me, so you don't have to worry. ”

As if seeing Chenming's concern, Shaqiro spoke.

"I can't hide anything from you. ”

With a wry smile, Chen Ming once again harnessed the Earth Flame Lizard to move forward quickly.

The Eye of Hell is the name of a strange spring in the center of the Esgol Desert, and the reason for this name is that when you look down from the spring, this area formed by terracotta extends in the shape of a whirlpool, and the spring in the center is a dark green like a pool, and when you look down, it looks like a huge demon's eye, watching something, so that Hestifo and Nicos and other countries on the edge of the desert named this spring the Eye of Hell, or the Fountain of Damnation.

The extreme high temperature baking made the ground flame lizard under his feet unbearable, crawling on the sand, no matter how Ren Chenming drove it, he was unwilling to move forward for another half a minute.

In desperation, the two had to jump off the lizard and start walking.

The place where the firelizard was released was very close to the Eye of Hell, and after walking for about two hours, they also saw the green in front of them.

"Where there is water in other deserts, there must be oases, and this is a good place, the closer you get to the water, the higher the temperature rises. ”

Looking at the spring in front of him, which looked like a huge lake, Chen Ming said solemnly, "The temperature here, even I feel a little stuffy. ”

"It's an elemental curse magic called the Curse of Fire. ”

Shaqiluo's blood pupils flickered slightly, and she said, "The closer you get to the center of the magic, the higher the temperature, and the root of this magic will not be affected by the temperature. ”

"You mean to say. ”

Chen Ming pointed to the vast lake and said, "The root of magic may be underwater?"

"I don't rule it out. ”

Shaqiro nodded, "In addition to being a curse magic, the Curse of Fire is also an excellent hidden magic, and as for the specific usage, it varies from person to person. ”

"Say, are there any fish down there?"

Looking at the clear water in front of him, Chen Ming suddenly asked, "Shall we eat fish tonight?"

"This spring is filled with the power of the curse, it's good that it hasn't been ingested into the body, once it is ingested into the body, it is equivalent to devouring the eighth-order magic into the body. ”

"With your magical powers, you won't be killed by the curse, but you'll definitely be seriously injured. ”

"So horrible?"

Chen Ming's eyes were terrifying, he didn't expect the curse magic of the eighth order to be so terrifying, he shrunk his neck, and he spoke, "According to what Miller said, there should be people here, but until now, we still can't see anyone." ”

"Maybe it's because your magic is too strong, and they're afraid of you, so they're hiding?"

Shakiro said. "To develop evil forces under Hestifford's nose, a cautious style is also necessary. ”

"That's the truth. ”

Chen Ming nodded in agreement, and frowned again, "But in this way, isn't our hope of finding the magic tower even more slim?"

"Actually, there is another way. ”

Shakiro pointed to the surface of the lake and said, "Blow up the lake, and they will come out naturally." ”

"Are you serious?"

Chen Ming looked at Sha Qiluo in astonishment, "I don't know what the situation is in this deep pool, if I blow up the mountain rashly, I'm afraid ......."

"Do you have any other way?"

With a casual question, Shakira stepped aside, crouched on the ground and looked motionless at the red sand on the ground.

"Okay, okay. ”

Shrugged helplessly, Chen Ming had long been accustomed to Shaqiluo's own behavior, but he didn't say anything more, drumming up the magic power in his body, and opened the magic guide book in his hand.

"Eternal frozen ice spirit, please borrow my infinite ice meaning to cover everything in front of you with eternal zero!"

"Elemental magic, the realm of ice!"

The huge purple magic array enveloped the entire sky, unleashing his magic power unscrupulously, and Chen Ming completely unleashed the seventh-order magic for the first time.

The seventh-order magic that is claimed to be enough to destroy a city is not a nonsense statement, in a city where people are there, when fighting, whether it is Chen Ming or those angels, they will deliberately suppress their magic power, which has a reason to prevent the city from being destroyed in a large area, but the most important thing is that the larger the scope of magic, the smaller the power of magic.

Just like the Curse of Fire in the Eye of Hell, it is obviously an eighth-order magic, but because the power of the curse covers the entire desert, it can only kill demonic beasts below the sixth order in a short period of time, but it can't have much impact on the seventh-order Chenming.

In the huge magic array, infinite ice mist was released, instantly suppressing the high temperature here, and the originally sparkling water surface began to form a thin layer of ice.

Although Shaqiluo said to blow up the lake, the cautious Chen Ming still chose the magic of the ice attribute, because God knows what will be blown up if this explosion continues?

The rich ice attribute magic spread rapidly, and although the main power was concentrated on the surface of the lake, the overflowing magic still covered the surrounding boulder sand with frost.

As the temperature drops, the ice on the lake becomes thicker and thicker, and in just two minutes, the ice on the lake is already two meters thick, but that's about it.

"Are you starting to resist?"

Chenming's eyes narrowed, and after the ice stopped expanding, he felt a terrifying fiery magic surging beneath the lake, preventing his own magic from penetrating.

Not only that, but through the ice, Chen Ming even saw that the water below began to boil violently, quickly melting the originally strong frozen ice.

In less than a minute, only half a meter of ice remained.

"It's worthy of an eighth-order magic, even if it spreads its power over such a large area, it's still not comparable to seventh-order magic. ”

Opening his eyes, Chen Ming sneered, and another magic array appeared, the same magic overlapped with the cold ice realm where the magic power was about to be exhausted, and an even more terrifying coldness erupted.

"Phew!"

The extremely thick white mist was like a huge white pillar of light, which penetrated through the boiling lake water, and in an instant, even the agitated blisters were frozen before they could burst.

The ice pressed down five meters again, completely killing the boiling momentum, but before Chen Ming could relax, a terrible fire suddenly appeared in the lake, melting the ice again with lightning speed.

"It's going to blow up, it's going to blow up!"

Chen Ming's pupils constricted, and he immediately turned around and picked up Shaqiluo, and disappeared in place in an instant.

"Click, click......"

The thick ice obviously didn't melt so easily, but the fire was like an angry dragon, no longer boiling frogs in warm water like before, crashing into the ice frantically.

The endless collision caused the cracks in the incomparably hard ice to grow larger and larger, and wisps of white steam rose from the cracks.

"Bang!"

When the collision reached a certain critical point, the ice layer instantly collapsed, endless white gas rose into the air, and the scorching breath instantly dispersed the extremely low temperature caused by the cold and ice realm, and was replaced by a blazing heat that was several times stronger than before, and even because of the sudden cold and heat, cracks appeared on the boulder covered with sand and gravel.

On the surface of the lake, in the endless white air, a trace of fire rose into the sky, tearing apart the two huge magic arrays shrouded in the sky.

A thin red-clothed figure slowly stepped onto the shore of the lake from the white mist, and his handsome face was distorted by extreme anger, "Who is it! Get out of here! I promise not to kill you!"

A loud cold shout sounded in the sky above the desert, causing Chen Ming, who had already used spatial magic to teleport to a distance, to shake his body for no reason.

"It's not my fault, it's obviously you who blew up the lake. ”

Pursing his lips helplessly, Chen Ming rolled his eyes at the girl who didn't care about him, "And you, fortunately, I didn't listen to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to run today!"

"Why run?"

Puzzled, Shaqiro asked, "Aren't we here to find them?"

"That's right!"

Chen Ming then remembered that the purpose of his trip was to confirm the location of the magic tower, but he remembered the blazing breath he felt at the bottom of the lake just now, and he was a little glad that he ran fast, otherwise he would definitely not be able to run away once he was regarded as an enemy by the owner of that flame.

"The owner of that flame, what is the origin of the hell?"

Thinking of the flame that made his heart palpitate, Chen Ming frowned and muttered, "How do you feel that breath is much purer than the fire dragon?"

"Who told you that the flame has a master?"

Shaqiluo glanced at Chenming and said lightly, "That flame may be the person we are looking for, he is a flame demon, or a fire demon." ”

"Flame Demon?"

Chen Ming was stunned, and suddenly realized that he knew this kind of life.

Like the Fog Demons, the Flame Demons are demons born from flames, and they also have no body and use the flames as the body of their souls, also known as conscious magic.

But unlike the Fog Demon, the Flame Demon is extremely powerful, and from the moment they were born, they possessed at least sixth-order terrifying strength, and even in that ancient era, there was the birth of the Demon King.

Although the race of flame demons has now been deprived of the demon king's credentials due to the appearance of the fire dragon, there are still several transcendents in this race, as well as the existence of an uncrowned king.

The destructive monarch Igreil, because he was afraid of their power, forcibly incorporated them into his command, and integrated their demon king's certificate into his own monarch's certificate, although he promised to return it after a thousand years, but 1,300 years have passed since the fall of the previous Flame Demon King, and this promise has still not been fulfilled, which shows how cautious the monarch is about them.

The power of fire demons lies in their ability to endlessly receive fire elementals and control all flames, including special flames such as the Fire of Despair that are transformed into characteristic magic.

Half of the power of the fire dragon comes from the flames, and this perfect suppression makes them extremely jealous of the flame demons, even to the point of fear.

And this is also the sad thing about the Flame Demons, in the hell, there is the existence of the fire dragon, they have no way to raise their heads, even if they have great strength, they still can't defeat the Destruction Monarch, one of the three mountains of the King of Hell.

"I was suddenly certain that the location of the magic tower was in the middle of this desert. ”

Chen Ming smiled at the sky-high flame in the center and said, "The flame demon who can't get along in hell must find a way out for his race, and this Hestifo, who has strong magical power, is undoubtedly the best choice. ”

"Three hundred years ago, Igriel issued a wanted warrant for the Flame Demon. ”

Shaqiro said, "After the Flame Demon broke up with the destruction camp to negotiate the return of the Demon King's certificate, a Flame Demon named Charles, with twenty seventh-order clansmen, disappeared from their clan, and in the following decades, no matter how the destruction was found, there was no news, they never thought that these guys would escape to the human world and take root here. ”

"It is a wise but foolish act of the fire dragon to strangle in the cradle the factors that could lead to their destruction. ”

Chen Ming said with some sarcasm, "If they can form an alliance with the Flame Demon in a different way and in a more merciful way, maybe they don't have to worry about them betraying themselves, right?"

"Most of the lives in hell live in suspicion and conspiracy, and they don't even believe in their allies, so how can you make them believe in the power that is enough to devour them?"

Shakiro raised her eyes and said, "As much as I hate this feeling, if necessary, I will stifle the forces that will bring you destruction, whether you want it or not. ”

"The only one who can destroy me is myself, and your departure. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "As for the others, let's leave them for later, and now ......"

"It's time for us to talk to him. ”
