By the time the two of them returned to the spring, the place had changed dramatically.

"This ......"

Looking at the mirror-like red crystalline ground, Chen Ming was a little speechless, the entire lake shore was full of crystals re-condensed from melted sand grains, and the terrifying heat filled their surroundings.

"The Flame Demon has a violent temperament, and if you blow up his lake, he will definitely be angry. ”

One of the initiators of the incident, Shakiro raised her little head, looked at the still burning lake, and said unconsciously at all, "Their flames can melt steel into liquid in an instant, so you should be careful when you come into contact with them." ”

"Who did it?"

Chen Ming was speechless, but it was true that even standing on the edge of the lakeshore, Chen Ming felt an unbearable heat, and if he approached, I was afraid that the magic in his body would burn with it.

"Why don't you wait here for me?"

Retracting his gaze, Chen Ming said, "That Flame Demon is too strong, and if he fights, he may not show mercy to his subordinates......"

"Can you beat him?"

Glancing at Chenming, Shaqiluo said, "Take the black rabbit with you, I'll wait for you here." ”

"Good. ”

Shaqiluo agreed, which also made Chen Ming breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the girl would stubbornly follow him like before, the flame demon was not the angel Chloe, Chloe deliberately released water to them because of him, and they left safely, and the flame demon did not have the slightest possibility of releasing water, once there was a battle, it would be a real battle.

"Black Rabbit, come back. ”

Chen Ming beckoned, and a strange black liquid emerged from the shadow at Shaqiluo's feet and jumped onto Chen Ming's body.

"Uncle, it's not good to follow you every time!"

After scolding, the black rabbit went down Chenming's neck and drilled into his body.

Everything was ready, Chen Ming took a deep breath, enveloped his whole body with magic power, and no longer hesitated, stepping on the red crystal.

"Phew!"

The rich white qi enveloped Chen Ming's whole person, and the extreme heat made the magic used for his body's external defense directly burn, although he was mentally prepared, but when he really felt the blazing here, it still made him a little unbearable.

"I'm afraid that if you throw a piece of steel in, the temperature here will turn red directly, right?"

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Chen Ming slowly advanced against the infinite high temperature.

In order to ensure that his body was not ignited by this terrible temperature, Chen Ming endlessly released the magic of the ice attribute, but even so, his skin was still sickly red.

Walking slowly forward, Tatsunato felt that the closer he got to the spring, the higher the temperature became.

As time passed, the clothes on Chenming's body began to burn violently, and his footsteps stopped at the edge of the lake.

As far as the eye could see, the faint green lake had been covered in magma, and in the center, a scarlet flame was jumping wildly.

"That's you! You're the one who did the magic just now!"

The moment Chen Ming arrived, the flames in the center of the lake also began to jump wildly, roaring with extreme anger, "If you dare to invade the territory of the Flame Demon, let you taste this anger from hell!"

"Boom!"

The entire lake was instantly covered with flames, and tongues of fire swallowed out, like a giant dragon pounced on Chenming.

"Elemental magic, ice enchantment!"

Chenming's pupils constricted, and in an instant, he activated three magic enchantments, defending himself tightly.

"The thing I hate the most is ice!"

The flames roared and rushed out of the lake, breaking through the three barriers in an instant, like a huge wave crashing down to Chenming below.

"Fire Demon Charles, do you still want to go back to Hell?"

Looking at the menacing and fierce fire, Chen Ming hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "I can take you and your people out of the world!"

The effect of his words seemed to be excellent, as if it were frozen, and the flames that had originally rushed towards Chenming just hovered in midair.

"Are you...... Demons in Hell?"

In the midst of the flames, there was a voice of disbelief and doubt, "Why should I believe you!"

"That's it!"

Chen Ming took out the Abyss of Pain, a green flame, and burned on the surface of the scarlet crystal ball out of thin air, "You are a demon in the flames, I think you should be extremely familiar with this, right?"

"It's ...... Desperate fire?!"

The flames shook violently, as if they were extremely afraid of the green flames, "You are a high-level demon of the Despair Camp?!"

"I am the successor of despair, and An Mixiu is my mentor. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that this flame demon would be desperate to burn him.

"When did the Monarch of Despair find a successor?"

Charles still didn't believe it, but the fire of despair in Chenming's hand was ironclad evidence, except for the descendants of despair, other demons could not have this kind of flame at all, not to mention whether Chenming was the successor of despair, but judging from the flames, this human youth had an extraordinary status in the despair camp.

"It seems that the name of An Mixiu is really easy to use. ”

Feeling that the temperature around him was much lower, Chen Ming was secretly proud, and continued, "You have left hell for three hundred years, and it is normal that you don't know a lot of things, and it is only a matter of the past few years that I have become his successor, if you don't believe it, you can just grab a human who hosts a demon and ask, and then the truth will naturally be known." ”

The flames began to slowly converge, and in an instant, the magma covering the entire lake disappeared and turned into a dark green again, and the flame in the center of the lake also turned into a young man in red clothes and red hair, and his cold eyes contained a strong desire to destroy.

"Is this the Fire Demon Charles......"

Freely retract the flames, even the demon king can't do this, only the demon born from the flames can do it.

Chen Ming smiled and saluted, "Mr. Charles, I would like to formally introduce myself, my name is Chen Ming, and I am a human who has been chosen by the desperate monarch to be his successor. ”

"Your identity still needs to be verified. ”

Scratching his red hair impatiently, Charles walked up to the shore of the lake, sat down directly on the ground, and said, "What do you want to do if you blow up my lake? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will surely burn your soul no matter what your successor is!"

"That's right. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly, and sat opposite Charles with him, and said, "I came to this desert to find a force called the Demon Tower, I wonder if Mr. Charles can tell me one or two?"

"The Magic Tower?"

Charles raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, "What are you looking for this force?"

"The Desert of Esgol isn't far from Hestif, and I think you should know something about what's going on in that country. ”

Chen Ming said, "For some reason, I have concluded a contract with the three princes of the kingdom to help him and the demon clan take the throne of emperor, the demon has been weak for a long time, and we need the magic tower to help us achieve our goal." ”

"Since you're looking for the Magic Tower, what are you doing in this desert?"

Charles sneered, "There's no magic tower you're looking for. ”

"Hmmm......"

Chen Ming looked around, then retracted his gaze and said, "The Esgol Desert is a good place, the fire element here is strong, and it is indeed suitable for the residence of the Flame Demon, but I always feel that the magic here has a familiar taste. ”

He looked at Charles with a hint of banter in his smile, "For the sake of your people, Mr. Charles has spent magic to maintain the environment of the desert, which is really a bit hard. ”

"What do you say...... What does that mean?"

Charles's face changed, and he looked away, "This is the natural living environment of my Flame Demon, I don't have the heart to maintain the desert!"

"We know what the facts are. ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly, "I said that I came to cooperate with the Magic Tower, of course, with our sincerity, if Mr. is willing to connect us, we will definitely pay you a satisfactory reward." ”

"Remuneration?"

Charles looked at Chen Ming indifferently and frowned, "We don't have any interest in the so-called money. ”

"If you don't have an interest in money, what about land?"

Chen Ming's eyes flashed inexplicably with strangeness, "As long as you can help us, when we succeed, I will let the third prince carve out an area in Hestifo for you to live in, Hestifo is one of the very few places in the world where magic gathers, I think the living environment there will be much better than here." ”

"What can you guarantee?"

Charles was obviously a little moved, but it had been more than 300 years since he had escaped from Hell and about 200 years since he had settled here, but he had never been given the right to use Hestile.

In fact, with his strength, even if he stays in the world for thousands of years, his level and magic power will not decline, but he can persevere, but the clansmen he carries can only wait for him to age faster, if it weren't for Charles's magic, three hundred years is enough to send all his clansmen to the River Styx.

"But at least I can guarantee that your situation will not be any worse. ”

Chen Ming smiled and said, "If Sir doesn't believe me, I can sign a contract with you, and add one more, if you fail to fight for the throne, I will take you back to hell, and ask An Mixiu to stop the destruction of the monarch for you, with him, I don't think even if Igril is there in person, he won't do anything to you." ”

"Okay, I've released my sincerity to you, you can think about it, but for the sake of time, I still hope to get a quick reply. ”

After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the crystallization field, but as soon as he took two steps, the voice behind him made him smile a little triumphantly.

"Wait!"

Charles's voice behind him made Chen Ming stop, and the young man turned around and said, "Think about it so quickly?"

"I've never liked to procrastinate, and you guessed it, we're on the verge of extinction. ”

As he spoke, Charles got up and turned to the lake, "Come with me." ”

"Wait a minute, I have a companion nearby. ”

Chen Ming smiled and said, "I want to pick her up." ”

"Companion?"

Charles frowned, since just now, his magic power has been in a state of expulsion, with his eighth order, it is impossible for anything to escape his perception, but except for Chen Ming, he did not feel the existence of any person, but since Chen Ming said it, he didn't care about this time, and waved his hand casually, "Hurry up." ”

"Good. ”

Chen Ming smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.

After a while, he came with Shakira with him.

"This is the companion you were talking about?"

Looking at the beautiful girl beside the young man, Charles was a little amazed in his heart, but that's all, the only thing that puzzled him was that he couldn't sense any breath on Shakiro's body, or even capture her presence.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Ming nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

"Good. ”

Putting aside the confusion and confusion in his heart, Charles stretched out his palm, and a brilliant flame appeared out of thin air and fell lightly on the surface of the lake.

"Phew!"

The surface of the lake boiled instantly, and a huge wind and wave swept the shore, and the whole spring was flat and cracked in the middle, and a bottomless tunnel appeared.

Yongdao appeared, Charles didn't stop any longer, and walked directly towards the lake, Chen Ming saw this, and also took Shaqiro to follow him.

The long corridor was not gloomy, and the ghostly flames floated in the flat water of the lake, illuminating the corridor, and the three of them walked for a long time until they reached the bottom of the lake before stopping.

In front of them was a high wall of black volcanic rock, and beneath the high wall, there was a vermilion gate painted with flame totems.

"This is the gathering place of my Flame Demon in the human world, and at the same time, it is also one of the strongholds of the Demon Tower in the Western Continent. ”

Charles introduced, he reached out and pressed lightly on the door panel, and then pushed hard.

"Crunch!"

The huge vermilion door opened a crack, and as Charles became more powerful, the crack began to grow larger.

"What a strong breath of fire!"

The moment the door opened, Chen Ming immediately felt the fire element rushing to his face, but it was not hot and violent, but gave people an extremely reassuring sense of comfort.

Following Charles inside, Chen Ming looked around, this is a huge underground space, all made of black volcanic rock, and in the center of the vast ground, there is an extremely large magma pool, exuding a seeping high temperature.

The walls of the space were full of small flames, which were sealed in small grids, and Chen Ming felt a special soul fluctuation in the flames, "These are your clansmen?"

"Yes. ”

Charles didn't hide it, and said, "Originally, there were not only these, but there were many people of the same clan, but unfortunately the magic environment in the world was too poor, even if it was nourished by my magic power, it was still not enough to save them." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

Retracting his gaze, Chen Ming asked, "What did you mean when you said that this is a stronghold of the Magic Tower?

"If that's all there is to it, I don't need to join this force. ”

Charles laughed at himself and said, "The Magic Tower is an extremely evil force organized by pure demons, and most of their members are demons like me, who have come to the world through those natural world passages, these demons have different strengths and weaknesses, but their purpose has always been one, that is, the desire to plunder the world, and to find a magical place like Hestifo that is suitable for the survival of demons." ”

"Three hundred years ago, my people and I had just escaped from the hands of destruction and were brought to the world by a passage under their control, but at that time, their people did not appear immediately, but when we were about to be destroyed, let us join the magic tower. ”

"After joining, I became a cadre of the Magic Tower, because the strength was quite acceptable there, so they arranged for me and my people to launch a strategy against Hestifo until today, two hundred years later. ”

"I have to say that the demon clan of Hestifu is the most powerful human race I have ever encountered, and even I think that they are no longer human, because of their protection, my people and I have never been able to take it down, and the magic tower, because of this, has cut off the supply of magic to us, and as a last resort, I can only use my magic power to maintain the lives of these sleeping clansmen. ”

He looked up at the flickering flames on the wall, and said, "I'm beginning to regret that I've come to earth. ”

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Chen Ming, "All in all, the power of the Demon Tower is all over the world, and the demons in it are powerful and ferocious, although there are many who are just trying to survive like me, but most of the demons have other purposes. ”

"Does that gentleman know who is actually in control of the magic tower?"

Chen Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he had a hunch that his mission this time might be directly related to this so-called magic tower.

"I don't know. ”

Charles shook his head and said, "Two hundred years ago, it was a transcendent who led us, and from my conversation with him, I can see that his status in the magic tower is not much higher than mine, so I guess that the actual controller of the magic tower should be someone in hell, or a few demon kings, and only such an existence can rule this kind of behemoth." ”

"What are the conditions for Raiding Hestifo?"

Chen Ming frowned and asked, "Take Hestifu for yourself?"

"What is the order of heaven for you? It's almost as good to take a human kingdom as your own and replace it with a demon king. ”

Charles shook his head and smiled, and said, "You only need to let Hestifo be contaminated with desire, and insert the eyeliner of the magic tower into the power center of the royal capital, but it is simple to say, but the actual operation is a little difficult, thirty years ago we almost succeeded, but in the end we were intervened by heaven, and now if we want to implement it again, the difficulty has increased a lot." ”

"Thirty Years Ago......"

Chen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, "It turns out that you are the mysterious force that attacked Hestifo thirty years ago......"

"Although the attack was not my intention, it was our doing. ”
