"Haha, happy!"

The two fought fiercely above the abyss for more than ten minutes, and the strong man laughed, his golden eyes flashing with a hint of essence.

"I'm going to make a bigger move, be careful. He reminded as he raised his long black knife high in the air and took a stance.

"Come on. Chongyang also smiled. Although he didn't know who this person was, this period of fighting made him probably understand the other party's temperament - a straightforward and heroic man.

"Drink!" the strong man roared, and the blue glow around him was highly condensed on the blade. Immediately, the words came out of his mouth, causing the vibration of the wind elemental to be even more turbulent, and even converged into a huge vortex in front of the tip of the sword!

"Huh, this is ......," Chongyang heard clearly this time. The spell that the other person is reciting is not the type of spell he is familiar with—another magic language!?

Chongyang was shocked, but on the surface, he remained silent, focusing on the moves that the strong man was about to use.

"Wind Whirlwind!"

After concentrating his strength, the strong man swung his black knife and slashed down, and suddenly a huge vortex and glow intertwined into countless rotating wind blade impacts, impacting in the direction of Chongyang!

Melee magic comparable to long-range bombardment?

Chongyang sensed the extraordinaryness of this knife. Judging by the speed and manner at which the opponent casts the spell, this is melee magic. However, in terms of power and effect, it is enough to compare to the magic of long-range bombardment.

Never heard of such magic!

Chongyang's eyes flashed, and in the face of the huge whirlwind blade, he waved his staff, and suddenly-

"Atmospheric Explosion!"

Rumble......

Violent green fireworks blew up the whirlwind entirely, making it disappear into nothingness.

"Good!" the strong man's eyes lit up and he praised.

The whirlwind dissipated, and Chongyang saw the face of the strong man opposite again, but he couldn't help but be surprised!

Horn!?

On the forehead of the strong blond man, between the thick and messy hair, two golden-red sharp horns suddenly grew! one left and one right, stabbing into the void.

Chongyang's eyes widened, and he looked stunned. When the strong man saw his expression, a smile stiffened on his face, and he touched the top of his head.

"With a little bit of force, it was exposed. He looked a little helpless.

"What the hell are you ......" Chongyang wondered.

"Let's go down and talk. The strong man said, putting the black broadsword back behind his back, turning around, and leaping towards the opposite cliff.

......

Falling on the face of the cliff, Chongyang disarmed the elementals, the blood lines on his body faded, and the entangled fire elemental disappeared with it.

"It's a lot of magic, but it seems to be hard. The strong man looked at Chongyang, who was panting and sweating at the same time, and said.

"Yes...... But compared to me, Your Excellency, you ......" Chongyang looked at the strong man, and his gaze swept over the extremely striking sharp corners of the other party's head.

"I'm an orc. The strong man smiled slightly bitterly at Chongyang, "Dragon orc, the name is Gaiasis." You can call me Gaia. ”

Orcs!?

Chongyang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "I'm Chongyang @ Bright, you can call me Chongyang." ”

Gaiasis, the orc of Phoenix Mountain, is the leader of the fire demon. And when Gaiasis led through the mountains and forests towards the deepest part of Phoenix Mountain, Chongyang learned a bizarre life story from the other party's mouth.

Ten years ago, Gaiasis, who was still a child, and an elder were hunted down and killed, and they were at the end of their rope in Phoenix Mountain. At the last moment, the elder single-handedly led away his pursuers, allowing Gaiasis to escape into the depths of Phoenix Mountain.

But then, even though Gaiasis managed to survive in the wild forest, he was still hunted down by his pursuers. Just as little Gaia was about to die, an extremely powerful human mage appeared out of thin air and burned all his pursuers to death with a single fire.

Little Gaia thought that he would also be burned to death by the magician, but the magician unexpectedly spared his life...... Until now.

Chongyang found this story incredible.

First of all, although Gaiahis's image is very different from ordinary people (with horns on his head), it is completely different from the half-beast and half-human monster that Chongyang has seen in Sun City since he was a child! Orcs, in Chongyang's cognition, are a bloodthirsty and murderous humanoid beast, not a magical, talking, and friendly beast like Gaia.

"The kind of orcs you're talking about are slaves among the orcs. Gaiais explained, "The lowest of status, the lowliest of orcs without any wisdom or power. ”

It turns out that orcs also have class differences?

Chongyang thought about it for a while and accepted this statement.

Secondly, the geographical location of the continent where the orcs live should be the northern wilderness that is extremely far away from here. And this is the western part of the empire! The two sides are separated by more than a thousand miles. So who are Gaiasis, the elders, and those chasers who can stage a scene of hunting and killing within the orcs and even cross the Phoenix Mountain of the Human Empire!?

"I don't know about that, I was too young to know a lot of things. And after all these years, the memory is also a little blurry. "I just remember that I am a dragon orc, in the elite of the orc empire. My parents and brothers...... They are all orc powerhouses with extremely high status!"

The dispute between the orc powerhouse is also barely reasonable, after all, if it were not for the strong, it would not be possible to travel such a long distance to come to such a place.

Chongyang and Gaiasis talk all the way. From Gaia's words, he pieced together images that he had never imagined before. In those pictures, there is a country of orcs that is not inferior to the human empire, with a prosperous civilization and a cloud of powerful people!

Chongyang rubbed his temples and felt a little dizzy.

Another explanation that is actually more rational than believing Gaiahis's words is that Gaiais is not an orc, but a dark race with a particularly strange appearance, which was exiled to the central region for some reason, and finally fell into this wild and dangerous land.

But Chongyang felt that he could not doubt Gaiasis's sincerity. Unless the brawny man who calls himself an orc is a rare master of deception, or if he has been hypnotized by someone in some way since he was a child...... In short, Chongyang, despite his disbelief, basically agrees with Gaiasis's statement.

......

He followed Gaiasis without encountering any monsters or other dangers until he entered a deep cavern at the foot of the Jungle Mountain.

Gaia lit a torch ready in front of the cave and walked ahead to light the way. Chongyang followed behind and observed all the way, and found that this cave passage seemed to be artificially dug and was quite old.

The deep cavern resembles a long corridor, and when you finally reach the near exit, you will first see a soft red glow, and then you will see a cheerful vision.

"Here we are, this is the Valley of Fire. Gaiasis walked out of the cave and smiled back at Chongyang.

I saw a fiery red forest in front of me hazy in a gorgeous brilliance, like a dream. Looking up the towering trees, he saw a huge fiery red orb shining with red light, sprinkling crimson light throughout the forest.

"This is ......," Chongyang stared deeply.

The massive orboid was surrounded by a myriad of silky materials like spider webs, crisscrossing and stretching out in all directions, all the way to the solid stone wall beyond the edge of the forest. Beyond the spheroid, looking higher through the filamentous gaps, there is an open oval dome and layers of hazy clouds.

Huge Celestial Cave......

Chongyang glanced at the extremely spectacular scenery around him and finally realized.

This is at the bottom of the crater of Phoenix Mountain!

As an extinct volcano that has not erupted for a long time, dense and flourishing primeval forests naturally grow at the bottom of the mountain pass of Phoenix Mountain, forming a closed heaven and earth, that is, the "Fire Valley".

The valley of fire, which should have been very dark at the bottom of the abyss, was brightened by the glow of the massive fiery red sphere hanging in midair. And this huge sphere-like body, which is a small sun in a closed heaven and earth, exudes a soft and amazing aura, and obviously contains an extremely large amount of fire energy, it should be-

"Ancestral Phoenix!"

Chongyang couldn't help but marvel, staring at this legendary spirit beast created by heaven and earth for a long time. I don't understand why it's the way it is.

"You're a disciple of the Fire Demon?"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from the front. A man in a fur robe walked out of the forest, with red hair and purple eyes, a face like a knife, hard edges and corners, and a cold expression.

He squinted slightly and looked at Chongyang, and suddenly Chongyang felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he felt a chill in his heart and a cold sweat on his back.

What a heavy murderous aura!

"I'm ......," he hurriedly saluted, wondering what was the name of this magician?
