Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Valley of the Flame Demon
"This is the Valley of the Flame Demons......"
A pure and sweet female voice sounded from the entrance, followed by the extremely familiar silver-white armor......
"Three, we've met again......"
In the team, Kai Yin, who was the leader, was naturally the first to see Murong Yuan and the others, and he greeted him lightly, but also to remind his companions behind him.
Since Kain, the original six-member ring protection team has a beautiful and lovely little Lori at this time, wearing a puffy skirt with exquisite Western workmanship, with a sweet and simple smile, and it is estimated that the height should not exceed one and a half meters.
"yes, see you again. β
Murong Yuan turned around slowly when he heard the voice, and it was rare to take the initiative to respond to Kai Yin, who was in full armor.
After a brief greeting, both sides were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was strange and tense.
"Mr. Kain, do you know these three brothers and sisters?"
The sweet little Lori was the first to interrupt the strange atmosphere, blinking at her companion with wide eyes.
"Yes, Miss Lucy, and not only Mr. Cain......"
Faragon the Human Ranger stepped forward from behind the group and continued, "...... We all had an unforgettable experience with these three. β
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Little Lori, who is called "Lucy", touched her head and proposed-
"Since everyone knows each other, I think these three brothers and sisters are also going through the Flame Demon Valley, so it's better to be together, so we can take care of each other. β
Kain, who was at the front of the team, chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said slowly-
"I think Miss Lucy has a point, but I wonder what the three of you think?"
"I can't ask for it. β
Murong Yuan responded lightly, and after the two sides briefly introduced each other, the two groups of people began to look for the key mechanism that opened the stone wall at the entrance of the Flame Demon Valley.
It's just that between them, who can say that they are not wary of each other at all?
......
The moss-covered stone wall slowly rose, and the interior of the Flame Demon Valley opened, and it was a bottomless pitch blackness.
Although these things are not worth mentioning to the three Murong Yuan who have night vision, they are different for human rangers such as Faragon.
Dax and Farragon held torches and lit the way at the front of the line.
Frodo, a hobbit carrying the One Ring, was protected by Golden Bolt and others in the center of the procession.
Kain was at the back of the line, surrounded by Lucy and Murong Yuan, who had just joined them.
As far as we know, from the previous exchange when looking for the key.
Lucy is the sixth main god player, in the previous main god world, she had a relationship with Dax, who was also a player, and now she is working with Kain and others to protect Frodo to go to Mordor and destroy the One Ring.
Despite this, Kain still had a trace of caution in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not put her, like Murong Yuan and the others, by his side.
......
"Everyone be careful......
Faragon, at the front of the line, guarded the surroundings and continued in a low voice, "...... Although the fire demon has been asleep, no one can say when it will wake up......"
The crowd nodded slightly in response, and then moved on.
"Earl Murong, Miss Lucy, ......"
At the end of the group, Kain whispered to the two in front of him, and the two stopped and broke away from the team.
Kain slowly stepped forward, came between the two, and continuedβ
β...... I'm not entirely sure, but I'm still very wary of you both......"
Kain's voice was low, his hands around his chest, and his expressionless covered helmet, which made people stunned.
Murong Yuan looked back at Kai Yin coldly, and didn't seem to have any idea of trying to win the favor of the other party.
"Uh......"
Lucy blinked her big watery eyes and made a somewhat embarrassed sound, the appearance of an eleven or twelve-year-old cute girl is really protective.
It's just a pity that Kai Yin and Murong Yuan are not Lolitacon, and of course, they are not rookie players who will be easily confused by appearance.
"If it's just a vigilance, it's okay......"
Lucy chuckled and replied softly to Cain's words.
There was obviously a safe distance between the three of them, and Murong Yuan followed Lucy and said-
"I can tell Mr. Cain unequivocally that my main quest has nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings. β
Kai Yin didn't make any moves, silently listening to what Lucy and Murong Yuan were saying beside her.
Seeing that Murong Yuan and Kai Yin didn't seem to have anything to add, Lucy interjected-
"Me too, my main quest is the same as Mr. Cain, and Dax can prove that I'm not a bad person. β
Looking at Lucy's slightly innocent words and gestures, Cain remained unmoved.
In this game, the relationship between players is never simply cooperative or hostile......
"Hopefully ......"
Cain whispered, and then took a step to chase after Faragon and the others who were walking in front, not worrying at all about a sudden attack that might come from behind.
Murong Yuan and Lucy, who were left behind, stood in place.
"Kain is a serious guy......"
While fiddling with Lucy, who was fiddling with her golden curly hair, she said lightly, and suddenly, Lucy looked at Murong Yuan's side with her big eyes.
Murong Yuan sensed the gaze coming to his side, and unconsciously looked at the source of this gaze.
The two looked at each other, and Lucy immediately smiled-
β...... So, you still look more pleasing to the eye, albeit a lot colder......"
Before she could finish speaking, Lucy, who was smiling all over her face, stepped forward briskly.
Murong Yuan was left alone at the back, silently looking at the back of the person in front of him, he would never believe that Lucy was a simple player.
......
And observing the conversation between Lucy and Murong Yuan just now, it seems that it is not the first time they have met.
......
The interior of the Flame Demon Valley is like a huge labyrinth composed of countless underground mines.
It is said that thousands of years ago, this was originally a place for dwarves to mine treasures, but unfortunately, the dwarves were later expelled by the fire demons and forcibly occupied this place.
Faragon and the others walked silently in this tunnel where they couldn't see their fingers, and only the dwarf Golden Thunderbolt was in the procession and talked endlessly about the glory of their ancestors.
Suddenly, the originally dark tunnel began to glow red.
The earth shook, and a terrifying roar came from the depths of the tunnel......
"It's awake ......"
Kai Yin's words were low and calm, as if he had expected them, and among the crowd, except for Murong Yuan, Lucy and other main god players, the others had shocked expressions on their faces.
β...... Get out of here!"
Seeing that everyone was a little at a loss, Kain calmly commanded, and everyone immediately quickened their pace.
"The Flame Demon's body is huge, although it will not enter these narrow tunnels, but with the release of the Flame Demon's demonic flame, the entire Flame Demon Valley will be burned into a volcano in the end!"
Faragon cleared the way at the front of the line as he reminded his companions behind him.
