Vol.1 The Burning Sun (1)
"Strength! Strength!! β
With a pop, the hard condensation rock on the surface was knocked open, and three huge heads protruded from the ground, greedily snorting the sulphur-smelling scorched air with their noses, and shouted excitedly:
"Chi Xiao, come out quickly! I smell the sweetness of my hometown! β
Another rock bulged upwards and cracked, then with a clatter it turned into fragments of different sizes and flew in all directions, and the red ray, which had been covered by delicate red lines throughout its body, crawled out of the hot lava, and as soon as it left the magma, the new red lines on the red pattern on the red red of the red ray dimmed a little, but you could still feel the huge energy flowing in it.
"Cerberus, let's go back and see what's going on."
In order to avoid the enemy's air raids, he hid underground inexplicably into a coma, and after waking up, he inexplicably advanced, and what is even more outrageous is that after waking up, he felt something very familiar to him in this world - the source of power that should not exist in this world! It is precisely because of the lack of this substance in this world that it and its companions will continue to weaken, and can only rely on the Juggernaut to make the necessary replenishment of itself from time to time in order to carry out some high-intensity activities.
"Actually......"
Reluctantly, Cerberus climbed from the ground to the ground, shaking his whole body and throwing all the magma out of his body. The large hole in the ground that had been destroyed by its massive size was quickly filled with magma pouring up from the ground, and after cooling, an unsightly black scar shell appeared.
"I miss those juicy mutant bighorn sheep even more now β after all, I haven't eaten in a while!"
"Are you going or not going? If you don't go, forget it!"
Seeing Cerberus talking about him left and right, Chi Xiao was furious! He didn't know what had happened to the Juggernaut, but the humans were attacking them before they fell unconscious, and the Juggernaut probably needed their help! Chi Xiao didn't wait for Cerberus to answer, his body had already fallen more than a hundred meters away, and it seemed that he was determined to go back and find out.
"Okay, okay! Anyway, I haven't tasted hometown food for a long time, so maybe there will be unexpected surprises on a trip......"
Cerberus was in awe and awe of his companion, the only honest man among them who recognized him as a companion and had repeatedly extended a helping hand to him, as was the outlier among his companions who only believed in pragmatism. (Cerberus himself is a fool and often deceived, and he ranks at the bottom of his peers and is everyone's royal punching bag and backstabber)
Seeing that Chi Xiao said to go, Cerberus spread his hooves and chased after him.
Hey~, who told us to be soft-hearted? (Actually, I have no idea, my dependents are not there, and I don't know anything about the situation outside)
Chi Xiao and Cerberus ran as they ran as fast as the terrain changed dramatically, and their hearts became more and more shocked. The environment they were in was not much different from that of the Sleeping Land, and the shock of the ancient landform suddenly appearing in front of them billions of years ago far outweighed the surprise of being raided by the Alliance.
There is no doubt that the creation of such an environment that is extremely contrary to nature must be supported by some kind of great power, a power that can change the world, for example, theocracy!
"Buzz ......"
The whole ground suddenly began to roar, and in the distance in front of Chi Xiao and Cerberus, a mountain peak shivered and threw a large amount of hot magma and gas into the sky, and after a violent eruption, the raging lava cooled down and piled up into small hills.
"Damn it!"
Cerberus, who had been slowed down by the eruption of the leyline, moved his nose and stopped cautiously, and the leyline that erupted violently just now not only lifted the sulfur-smelling dust into the sky and spread it in all directions, but also sent other smells that Cerberus cared about.
"Our 'great' captain of the guard has come into this world! And its dependents! β
"Behenmont? Are you not mistaken? The Juggernaut did not allow them to come!"
"You can't go wrong! Believe in my talent! I can smell the stench from hundreds of miles away! β
The relationship between them is not harmonious, and they are more often in a competitive relationship according to the law of power, just as Cerberus usually slaughters the xenos of the same faction, and they don't mind 'killing' some stupid companions who step into their traps, and use their flesh and core to raise some special dolls.
Hearing Cerberus's complaints, the red rays also stopped.
Behenmont! The first man under the throne! Guardian of the Sleeping Lands!
Worthy of its strength was its vile cunning, and if its master fell asleep for something, the shameless demon would surely gladly accept the two prey sent to the door!
As an important player in the evolution game, it is unwise to be the first to show your hole cards knowing the basic rules of first-in, first-out only to show your hole cards. It's not a good idea to go and meet the cunning demon of the captain of the guard by yourself without the overseer!
Standing still and thinking about it for a long time, the fear for the safety of his master finally outweighed the worry about his own safety, and Chi Xiao decided to go to the source to see what was going on.
"Cerberus, can you determine the approximate location of Behenmond?"
"Chi Xiao, are you serious?"
Cerberus looked at the red ray in disbelief, and then was defeated by the red ray's eager eyes, and its three heads shook at the same time, and then said in a dejected manner:
"I must be crazy! Well, I can't be sure of the location of the Behenmont, I can only determine the direction in which it is by the flow of air. So, be patient!"
"Thank you, Cerberus."
Thank you? This unfamiliar word, which did not exist in their dictionaries, suddenly made Cerberus's heart throb a little, like a spring breeze blowing through the frozen ground, and his heart softened.
"Chi Xiao, you, like your master, are too deeply influenced by this world!"
Is it? It's already so serious!
Chi Xiao sighed in his heart, the more he came into contact with it, the more he was deeply attracted to this world. Unlike its original hometown, which was only for the purpose of survival and conquest, this world carries more things, gorgeous and colorful......
I don't know how long it took, but a thick leg woke up Chi Xiao who was in a fugue:
"Alright, that disgusting guy has left the throne and gone somewhere else."
Chi Xiao immediately cheered up, let go of his hands and feet, and went straight to his destination. Under its full speed, the huge lava lake soon appeared in front of it, and when it ran to the shore more than ten feet away from the lake, the red ray jumped up and fell into the middle of the lake with a "grunt".
The huge movement immediately caused the lava lake to churn, and several behemoths of lava surrounded it. These pure energy creatures are fire-type elves spawned by scorching energy, and will spontaneously guard the root of their birth.
Ignoring the fire elemental that kept colliding with him out of curiosity, Chi Xiao sank to the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the flat lake, a grand gate made of massive obsidian stands silently in the crimson lava, and the boiling magma is dispelled by invisible forces as soon as it approaches the gate. In this crimson world, a trace of orange energy visible to the naked eye overflowed from the entrance of the oval dimension that occupied almost the entire faΓ§ade, breaking through the invisible space and merging into the lava.
Chi Xiao immediately understood why he could no longer contact his master, and the master had returned to his own world for some special reason, and opened a passage connecting the two worlds!
The red ray tried to enter the dimensional gate, but the strong thrust squeezed it out. It seems that this dimensional gate can only be navigated by one-way due to the spatial turbulence, and unless it has the strength of a master, it will not be able to return to its hometown through this channel, nor will it be able to get in touch with the master in the other world.
The dimensional gate directly opposite the red ray suddenly began to shrink, and when it became two-thirds of its original size, it suddenly bounced back to its original size, and hundreds of creatures were directly pushed into the magma by the spatial turbulence as it rebounded, and rolled in it.
Chi Xiao frowned at the visitors who writhed their bodies in the lava in an attempt to regain their balance: rounded corners, pointed ears, and wrinkled faces with large golden eyes, all of which opened their mouths, which took up almost a third of their faces, allowing the magma to wash back and forth against the sharp jagged teeth of the lava.
They spread their black wings one after another, counteracting the momentum of the channel as quickly as possible by increasing the drag. After a few rolls, some of the lucky ones had already controlled their bodies and climbed onto the shore, while some of the unlucky ones who didn't have time to react were squeezed by the massive impact towards the fire elementals, and then torn to pieces by the angry behemoths.
"It's time for us to go! Behenmont will soon be back to receive these new little demon clans!"
Cerberus, who had been letting the wind blow on the shore, noticed the movement in the lake and dived down, alerting the red rays.
"Well, let's go"
Chi Xiao floated up, and Chi Xiao, who was not very interested in power, was not reluctant to give up on the throne, which symbolized strength, although there were many companions who were keen to satisfy their desires by improving their own power, but Chi Xiao was not one of them.
As a lone ranger-like being in the Sleeping Land, the red ray itself is an outlier. It is a powerful one that often wonders the meaning of its existence, and for many years it has wandered the dormant land in search of its roots, hoping to find the answers it wants. But he walked through the sleeping place, and he still found nothing.
Until one day, the Supreme Supreme of the Sleeping Land told it that there was a place where all the answers it wanted to know were sealed, and that if you found them, it would solve all its doubts - if you were qualified to open the door.
Then Juggernaut becomes the only meaning of its existence in the world!
What it wanted more than anything else was a way to get the Juggernaut back, not the recruiting point in front of it.
The red rays and Cerberus who had climbed ashore were about to leave, when the little demons on the shore suddenly surrounded them, and the red pupils of the red red suddenly shrank. It knows that Behenmont is back! Otherwise, these stinky fish and rotten shrimp alone would never dare to be so unreasonable to these high-ranking creatures!
As expected, Behenmont slowly descended from the sky:
"Are you leaving? Regret not staying to help the Supreme complete it? The throne has been sighing, lamenting that it has not been able to exterminate humanity. As a supreme and faithful servant, is it really good to disregard the last wishes of the master like this? β
"That's the restraint that the Supreme gave you, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Chi Xiao replied very indifferently, deception and bluffing were Behenmont's instincts, and if it really thought that it was for its master, it must have been in the water in its brain. As the price of the arrival of an archdemon like it, the Juggernaut must have made Berhenmont make a corresponding promise. Moreover, Behenmont, who is keen on conquest and control, is more than willing to be a human servant of it, so it will definitely try to pour water into its promise, and has no intention of fulfilling the last request of the master.
The red lines on Chixiao's body began to be active and became bewitching and dazzling, and after raising his foot and taking a step, Chixiao's momentum was already as majestic as a mountain:
"What? Captain of the Guard, are you going to force us to stay? β
Facing Chi Xiao and Cerberus, who had already entered a battle posture to break through, Behenmont thought twice and waved his hand to the side:
"Let them go!"
The strength of the red rays has always been among the best in the Sleeping Lands, and with the fact that Cerberus has excellent strength and stamina, even if he can subdue them, his vitality will be greatly damaged, and it is indeed a bit more than worth the loss.
The little demons who had been in a circle cleared a path at Behenmont's command, and watched as the Chi Xiao and Cerberus disappeared from the end of their sight.
Convinced that he was far away from Behenmont, Cerberus finally stopped his desperate run, and three dog-heads with haraths of breath came out one after another.
"Hey, you guys gasp slowly! I'm running out of breath!"
The doghead on the far left spits out two mouthfuls of exhaust gas, grumbling disgruntled to the other two dogs.
"Fool, you should shut up!"
"Damn it! I'm the one who gets hurt the most!"
There were times when Cerberus disagreed, such as now, when the three heads of the dogs were arguing with each other.
"Cerberus!"
Chi Xiao, who couldn't bear it, shouted violently.
The three dog heads who were arguing immediately became silent.
"Ah, Chixiao, don't you say it's strange? Behenmont, who loves to show off, didn't bring those dog legs to show off his power today! Hee-hee, fortunately that's the case, otherwise it's a question of whether we can return it with our whole body!"
Cerberus looked around and talked to him.
"They? They should be on the front line now......"
The red rays looked ahead, in the direction where the humans were attacking them, and farther away, their homeland!
