Like a red giant star about to reach the end of its life, the fireball suspended in the air began to dim, but on the contrary, it did not swell, but collapsed inward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The tall stone platforms that had existed since the founding of the City of Fire began to fall.

Chalmo squinted, a faint white flame came out of his eyes, he faced the wind blowing for some reason, looked at the shrinking fireball in the sky, and clearly saw a small figure inside the fireball containing terrifying energy.

A pale, puppet-like elder beside him moved, and in his hand appeared a long white sword composed almost entirely of small skulls, surrounded by a faint shadow like a ghost, and at the same time emitted a scalp-tinging scream.

He ran, silently opening his mouth, leaping high and heading towards the fireball in midair.

The change in flames messed everything up.

All the black mist that had been in the city of fire began to become agitated, and with the dimming of the large number of lanterns in the city, the jumping flames were extinguished, and the black mist burrowed into the houses and into the areas that they could not reach.

Even the central area is now in a black fog.

The girl, who had just woken up from her sleep, sat on her own cot for the time being, her long soft black hair scattered like satin. She wears a traditional black night watch outfit, just without a hood.

"Huh?"

Then she looked up, and with a delicate and expressionless face watched the light of the small lantern hanging from the ceiling leap until it was extinguished.

She had dreamed for so long that she still felt a little dazed.

Black mist poured silently into the small room.

Why did the black fog come in?

She hesitated, then stood up, a small flame bursting from her palm, dispelling the darkness around her.

She also sensed almost a fluctuation that affected the whole city just now, but this only brought her a little discomfort for a fire-bearer like her, who was still in the growth stage. However, this is enough to make people feel alarmed, after all, the source of the fluctuation is from the Imperial City area.

Luo Yu, who has been in the pioneer area for a long time, has not returned to the central area for a long time since Lynch graduated, after all, there is no guy she wants to visit there, so she is not very clear about the changes in the flames, plus she is almost only focused on her own cultivation, so her reaction to the outside world can even be called dull.

But now, even the dullest can sense that something is wrong.

Luo Yu looked at the black mist around him, frowned, picked up the dry food on the table next to him and took a bite, and then put it back in disgust.

Grandpa seems to have left. I wonder if I can get out now?

If I can go out, I won't come back this time. The girl stroked the long hair around her ear, thinking to herself.

Then another fluctuation came from the center of the imperial city that was much more serious than before, and this time the girl felt a little dizzy in her head, but she only stumbled slightly, as if nothing was serious.

Without Luo Yan's confinement, the locked door is just a thicker piece of paper for the girl.

She pushed open the door to the room.

She stood at the door, looking at the familiar black fog floating in the room, stunned for a moment, and then as if the whole person had been doused with cold water, she shivered, and instantly woke up.

The girl immediately turned on her senses and quickly covered the entire house.

There were no living people in the whole house.

She looked at the walking corpses, and watched them dress, and the girl could barely make out the people, men, women, and children, whose faces were basically rotten, through her clothes.

Among them, of course, were her parents.

Luo Yu took a deep breath, she was a little overwhelmed in the face of such a result.

She didn't have a good relationship with almost everyone in the family. But it's not because of them, it's not because of themselves, in this world, these ordinary people can only react by following the will of the head of the family, Luo Yan.

When she was a child, Luo Yu had many brothers and sisters, but she was not conspicuous at that time - she was a little withdrawn herself. And her memories of her siblings are often mostly stuck at about ten years old - they are like victims, just a guarantee that their parents can hide from the black fog.

Those who didn't even pass the qualification test were not left with her parents, and then the only one who passed the qualification test was swept down by the flames, and only a little boy who could only try to become the possessed one, one of her older brothers, and the one who cared for her the most, died in the second test.

This test will eat people.

Then it was her turn, the fourth child who was about to be eaten.

To this day, she still remembers that scene vividly. The little girl's face was full of snot and tears, sobbing and trying to hold her mother's legs, begging her parents not to let her take this horrible test.

"Well, you have to go. ”

"But I really don't want to go, Mom. The crying little girl just begged.

"You don't have a choice, kid, to go to the test, or to the outer ring. Mom and Dad don't want to do that much, you know?"

Then she became the Flame Bearer.

When she returned home, she met her parents and received a warm and warm hug from them, just like her wet nurse held her when she was very young, but this time from them.

It was fresh, but she felt a little disgusted.

"Mom, can I get my younger siblings not to go through that kind of possession test in the future?"

"Uh...... Listen, you're our pride!

Her parents no longer continued to have children, and the gratitude she received years later did not come from her younger siblings.

"If you had let us take the second test, we wouldn't be living so miserably now!"

Under her protection, these people just couldn't walk under the black fog. And some of them didn't even pass the eligibility test.

So later, when she faced Lynch, she didn't tell Lynch anything about the test, just let him choose, and at the same time, she actually made a decision in her heart that if Lynch didn't choose to take the second test, she would be left to fend for herself.

Because of this thought, she still has a feeling of guilt in her heart for that child.

The walking corpses, who were walking slowly and dazedly, suddenly sensed the breath of the living, and with longing and hatred, with hatred and jealousy, their beastly minds full of yearning for fresh flesh and blood and jealousy of sound souls, they swooped down on the maiden standing there as fast as they could, though slowly, as if they were walking, smelling the seductive scent.

The girl was a little overwhelmed.

She has faced monsters countless times more terrifying, the helpless deaths of her teammates, the threat of death herself, and the despair - but she doesn't know how to deal with these poor walking corpses, her former relatives, any monsters, and ordinary people of the same blood as herself who are completely unable to resist in this world.

Her subconscious gave the answer.

"Incinerate the field. ”

The surrounding monsters burned one after another, and the small flame in the girl's hand turned into a smart and cute little firebird, circling around her happily.

All the monsters around them were reduced to ashes in an instant.

The dazed maiden rose to the sky, breaking through the roof of the ominous house, floating high in the air, and the little birds chirping happily beside her.

The City of Fire can no longer be called the City of Fire.

The girl didn't pay any attention to everything around her—the roars of monsters, and the desperate howls of those who were stationed in the inner ring, her eyes like burning flames just looking at the heart of what had once been an imperial city.

There was a pillar of fire rising into the sky, cutting through the darkness as if reaching the sky. And she finally felt the horror in it.
