Snyder walked to the foot of Tower Grant's mountain step by step, and counted them down, this was the fourth time he had set foot on this path to the temple on the snowy peak after inheriting the title of Flame Walker.

"Snyder, from this moment on, you will fully inherit the power of the Fire Emblem, the fire spirit element of the world will be under your control, and the scorching flame of passion will guide you in the path of life until you return to the stars!"

On the stage, an old man in a white robe engraved a mantra in the Biling language, and Snyder responded to the old man's words, piercing his fingers and pressing the spilled blood on the giant stone tablet in front of him.

"I swear by my real name, and with the heraldic and my body, I will protect the dignity and glory of the Fire Spirit Wheel with the spiritual source, and lead me to fight until the last moment of my life!"

Suddenly, the huge stone tablet responded to the oath made with blood as a medium, and Snyder's name appeared on the bright red side.

Snyder looked at the Fire Emblem on his arm, still fresh in his memory of the moment he made his vow. Over the years, the coat of arms has spread from the arm to the heart of the chest, indicating the growth of Snyder's power of fire and the countdown to death.

Snyder walked into the foothills of Tagrant Peak, a snow-covered forest that was the only way to Tagrant Peak. And the tree species here is the famous native species of the ice field, the silver Xiao paulownia. Although the tree is hard, it is very lightweight, and it has a silver-blue color, and it takes about a year to grow to 10 meters. The tree is also hardy and drought-tolerant, with a high burning point, and local nomads generally cut down old trees to build wooden houses and boats. And the merchants who are far away in Middle-earth are selling to the long-inherited military family Chijin. Every year, Chijin buys a large number of silver tung wood in order to make military weapons, especially floating ships that can soar in the sky, and the main body is made of this wood.

Snyder gently stroked a silver paulownia tree beside him, feeling the rhythm of nature. Suddenly, there was a commotion from not far away, and the light of a burning fire lit up the sky, out of place with the hues of the forest.

"Quick, escape to the mine, leave the things outside!"

It was Gans's voice, who was panicking and directing his workers to flee into the mine.

"It's the beast, it's definitely over!" Zoffer looked at Gans helplessly, tears and snot covering his emaciated face.

"Calm down, isn't there still that little brother, hurry up and get in!"

Gans grabbed Zoffer by the collar and dragged him hard to the entrance to the mine behind him.

Just a few hours earlier, Gans had pulled Zoff out, saying that he had found a possible mineral. Zoff, who was in a half-asleep state, suddenly bounced up from the bed when he heard it, this is shocking news, you must know that it has been many years since he has not found the natural mineral species of the Ice Mine.

Seeing that the situation of the blizzard had not abated, and that there was a fierce beast infesting the foot of Tower Grant, which had been discussed in the tavern, the two of them were apprehensive about the matter after all, so after discussing it, they still called the burly man to go with them.

The burly man did not hesitate unexpectedly, and followed their mining team, braving a frenzied snowstorm to dig the mine under Targrant.

Coming to the forest, the blizzard was much weaker by the natural barrier formed by the tall silver paulownia wood, but the mouth of the mine that Gans and his men had dug was still covered with a thick layer of snow, and the remaining workers' town cleared the passage little by little.

Gans asked the burly man to do the trick for them, for no one wanted the rumored terrible beast to emerge at this time. But the more they feared, the more they were about to clear the mine entrance, a terrifying roar came from the depths of the forest, and Gans and Zoffer hurriedly ordered their workers to clear it as soon as possible.

But the sound of the beast's footsteps came clearly, and it was getting closer and closer, and the crowd panicked. The only man in the room was the burly man, who clenched his knife and looked in the direction from which the roar came.

A fierce beast covered in snow-white fluff and with a slender golden horn on the top of its head, with a body similar to that of a snow bear, was walking towards them step by step, its eyes glowing with a strange royal green light. When he felt the man's hostility, the beast's strong arms stretched out its transparent claws, and its legs supported its heavy body towards him.

Behind him, Gans and the others were already frightened, and they rushed to the narrow mouth of the mine, and the torches planted around were hurriedly kicked away, and the wooden tools of the camp were burned.

The man pulled out the slender scabbard, and the purple-red blade wrapped in it looked very strange under the light of the fire, and then gently swiped his finger over the blade, and the bright red color was immediately smeared on it. The dragon pattern hidden in the blade shone with a faint golden glow under the action of blood—and the man activated instantly.

The beast realized the strange aura of the long knife, and its body froze, and the power of the explosion poured into the transparent claws, accompanied by a crisp sonic boom, and the power that slapped down condensed into a substantial scratch like a sharp knife.

The scratch cut through the tree in the middle and cut it directly, but the power did not diminish at all, and the man seemed to be indifferent to this speed, and stepped lightly in the fallen tree trunk, cleverly avoiding the scratches that shot at him.

And the man also swept to the side of the fierce beast, and the long knife in his hand drew a perfect semicircular arc in front of him, and with the sound of tearing and breaking, the giant arm of the fierce beast immediately had a bright blood mark.

Gans, who was watching everything at the entrance of the mine, also secretly admired, and clenched his fists tightly as if he had bet on something.

The pain-eating beast let out a terrifying roar again, and the strange blue eyes stared at the man fiercely, this time it did not choose the attack method just now, but took a deep breath first, and suddenly its body shrank a lot, but it was still nearly twice the height of the man. began to use simple and rough hand-to-hand combat to fight against the man.

The beast is still tall after shrinking, but its speed is not inferior to that of a burly man, and it has an absolute advantage in strength, and it suppresses the burly man in hand-to-hand combat.

The man also realized that the fierce beast in front of him was definitely not simple, and even felt that it had human judgment, and from a few encounters, he found that the movements of the giant arm of the fierce beast were very similar to the fighting skills in the basic physical skills of the mainland martial artists.

The man suddenly lifted the thick snow under his feet with his long knife in an attempt to interfere with the beast's vision, and then stretched out a long knife with a dragon pattern and stabbed the beast's chest.

But the beast ignored the snowball that shot into its eyes, and its giant arm pressed forward to grab the man's long knife. The man was horrified in his heart, and under the suppression of the power of the fierce beast, he couldn't pull out the long knife for a while, only to see the fierce beast staring at him with its strange blue eyes, and suddenly the long braid stuck behind his back shot out at the man like a spear.

The man hurriedly let go of the long knife in his hand and dodged, but the speed was too fast, and the long braid was grazed across his arm, and the skin and flesh were instantly opened, revealing deep scars that could be seen in the bones. And the long knife was also thrown back to the man's side by the fierce beast, suggesting that he picked up the knife and continued!

The two sides confronted each other like this, the air around them seemed to solidify, and under the cold chill, seeing the heavy snort of the fierce beast open and close and spew out a thick white mist, the demonic blue pupils did not have the anger just now, but looked at him curiously, as if mocking the prey that fell into his hand.

Several blood marks on his arm made the man have a burning touch, and the blood that continued to ooze slowly dripped into the flawless white snow, and the blood that was instantly robbed of its temperature by the cold bloomed into bright red ice flowers on the ground.

The man took a deep breath, suddenly pulled out the long sword beside him, and stabbed towards the beast with one step. But the beast's instincts were strong, and before the man could fully gain momentum, the giant arm slammed into the ground, and the violent force splashed a wall of snow.

"Don't think!"

The long knife that stabbed out was infused with a large amount of spiritual energy, and the dragon pattern on the blade emitted a golden light, instantly evaporating all the snow walls, and with the power of this dragon, he wanted to kill the fierce beast with one sword.

But the beast also noticed the man's instantaneous change, and immediately returned his body to its original appearance, and the demonic blue pupils condensed a cold ray and slammed into the man's blade. The man was not afraid and directly met this force. The divine power emanating from the two forces turned the surrounding snow into snow in an instant, and the spreading air blade cut off the Yin Xiao Tong wood on the side.

Relying on its strong body and terrifying strength, the fierce beast directly grabbed the ground to meet the impact, and only then could it stand firmly. The man was not so lucky, he was directly shocked by the aftermath of the power and fell heavily on the tree.

"Poof—"

The pale-faced man spat out a mouthful of thick blood, feeling that several ribs had broken in his body, and his left shoulder had been dislocated from the impact just now.

Watching the beast withstand the impact, it was still walking towards it intact, but its vicious eyes were firmly fixed on the entrance of the mine behind it.

"Get out of the mines!" The man shouted hard to Gans.

Gans and the others, who had just witnessed the battle, had been shocked by the violent force at this time, and their trembling feet seemed to be disobedient, and they sat motionless in place, and most of his subordinates behind him were in the same situation as him. When they heard the man shouting to them, they were stunned, and they and Zoffer helped each other up with their trembling bodies, grabbed the torches at the mouth of the mine, and crawled and rolled back to the outskirts of the forest.

The man pressed his chest, desperately trying to adjust his body, but the blow just now was too badly injured, and his body seemed to be filled with lead.

"It seems that you have to use it, otherwise you will die in this hellish place!"

The man closed his eyes in realization, and once again smeared the blood on the strange purple-red knife, and the dragon pattern that was originally glowing with a faint golden color gradually turned scarlet under the stimulation of the blood. Only then did the man's whole body become sharply congested and flushed, and the torn muscles were billowing with blood, and the snow around him melted into snow under the influence of this.

As the blood qi accumulated, a life-size red blood shadow formed in front of the man, and he pulled out the long knife inserted in front of him, and the dragon pattern engraved on it tightly wrapped around the right hand holding the knife. Suddenly, the eyes that suddenly opened spat out a dazzling golden light, and the blood shadow had already swept in front of the beast.

When the fierce beast saw the blood shadow attacking, its innate intuition made it prepare one step in advance, and the light condensed by the blue pupils directly locked onto the blood shadow, and the power faster and stronger than the blow just now shot out with unparalleled power.

The speed of the green light was so fast that it distorted the space, and even the blood shadow didn't have time to dodge, but the moment it was pierced by the green light, the man evoked a smile of victory.

The blood shadow had already swung dozens of crescent-shaped swords at an invisible speed, and although it was scattered a lot by the green light, the others had already hit the murderer's body.

Suddenly, the sword that burned on the body of the fierce beast turned into a purple-red chain, tightened it firmly, and finally nailed it to the spot, no matter how it struggled, it could not break the chains on its body, and could only reluctantly accept the fate of being captured.

"This is what they call a monster?"

The man limped to the beast, and saw that the beast was like a wounded kitten, with a compassionate begging in its eyes and a cooing cry.

Looking closely at the fur of the beast and the claws that were as transparent as crystal, it was a good material of great value from the outside. But seeing the golden tentacles on his head in the shape of a burning flame, the spirituality revealed made the man a little unbearable.

"If you hadn't come out and hurt people, you wouldn't be where you are today. I will only take your fur and claws, sell them for money, and return the innocent lives to your dead hands, and I will bury the rest. ”

The man sighed helplessly, and made a gesture after folding his hands, which is a ritual used for celestial burials that only the Dongfang clan understands. Then he raised his long purple knife, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the beast's head.

At the moment when the long knife fell, a tongue of fire with the thickness of an arm wrapped around the man's arm and directly knocked the long knife in his hand away. Look at the figure slowly walking out from under the tree.

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Snyder in a little surprise, how could he be alone in this forest so late?

Snyder had his usual kind smile, his robes burning like flames, and the powerful spirit that came out of him could let the man know that he was no match for this man. "I wonder if I can let go of my friend?"

"Friends?"

The man was afraid of Snyder's strength, and with his current state, he was afraid that he would not even be able to escape, so he could only agree to Snyder's request.

"Thank you!"

Snyder nodded slightly, and then walked to the side of the beast, which was looking at Snyder pitifully and gurgling.

"I'm naughty again, but no one else meant it."

With a wave of his hand, the chains that bound the beast turned into stars and dissipated into the air, and the beast quickly stood up and let out that terrifying roar. At this time, Gans and the others, who were about to step out of the forest, heard this sound, and immediately knelt on the ground weakly, thinking if the little brother was also eaten by the fierce beast? Snyder beckoned the beast to lie down, and gently tapped the flame-like golden tentacles above its head, and suddenly its huge body was wrapped in white light.
