In the quiet ancient tower, Merlin lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling, his injuries were too serious, although he was not dead, but he was badly damaged, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover.

"This time it was really careless, originally I also had a certain degree of vigilance against Resyn, but I didn't expect that it would attack so suddenly, and there was also a fourth-level spell scroll. ”

Merlin showed a hint of helplessness on his face, he was actually wary of Mage Raisen, especially Master Reisen's alchemy monster.

However, Merlin was not wary of Mage Rainn himself, after all, even if Master Rainn released a third-level spell, Merlin was not afraid. But this time, Mage Lesian actually had a fourth-level spell scroll, which severely damaged Merlin. If it weren't for Merlin's physical fitness, which far surpassed that of ordinary spellcasters, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Master Leson now.

Fortunately, Merlin used all the strength of his body and cast a polar ice finger to scare Rysin away, plus Merlin had already used the matrix number to record the cultivation method of "Collapse Fire".

Therefore, as long as he quietly waited for his injuries to heal before leaving the ancient ruins, Merlin would have nothing to lose, and he would have a great gain.

Thinking of this, Merlin's originally chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

"Click".

Just when Merlin's mood gradually stabilized, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground in the stone gate, and a huge patterned spider gradually crawled out of the hole in the ground.

The gigantic Patterned Spider was about a man taller, larger than all the Patterned Spiders Merlin had seen before. Subsequently. The pattern spider gradually came to Merlin. And there was a "hissing" sound from its mouth.

Merlin's face turned pale instantly, originally he planned to recover slowly here, and then blast through the stone gate and leave the ancient ruins.

But now, when he was at his weakest, a patterned spider appeared, and it seemed that this patterned spider. Clearly more powerful than all the patterned spiders Merlin had encountered before.

Merlin was no longer able to release the Polar Ice Finger, but his mental power was not affected in any way, so Merlin quickly released the Guardian Monument spell.

The spell of the Guardian Monument three times in a row formed a barrier in front of Merlin, exuding a gray stone monument, enveloping Merlin's whole body.

This huge patterned spider came to the front and back of Merlin. He gradually stopped, and seemed to have discovered the Guardian Monument spell.

"Whoosh".

Suddenly. The pattern spider moved, very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was behind Merlin, and then it slammed into the Guardian Monument.

"Bang".

This collision actually smashed three Guardian Monument spells in a row, only the last spell was released by Merlin with amplification casting tools, so it was not broken, but even so, Merlin also felt that the Guardian Monument had suffered a very strong impact, this pattern spider was definitely stronger than Rain's alchemy monster.

The pattern spider hit it, but it didn't seem to have any effect, so the pattern spider gradually retreated back, and then, its abdomen bulged violently, and a stream of white silk flew away in an instant, wrapping around Merlin's body.

The white silk began to increase more and more, and it was very tenacious, and the strength was very strong, and Merlin's Guardian Monument spell cast through amplification spellcasting tools began to gradually receive a strong binding force.

If there is only a little bit of white silk, or Merlin can move freely, then the white silk of the pattern spider, Merlin can also break, even if it can't be broken, Merlin can also release the wind of freedom spell and leave calmly.

But now, Merlin was severely injured by Master Rice's spell scroll, and he couldn't even move a finger all over his body, almost a live target, and could only defend passively.

Occasionally, Merlin also released a furious flame, but the white silk spit out by the pattern spider was not afraid of flames at all, and was still very tough, enveloping Merlin's whole body, almost all of them wrapped into a zongzi.

"Click, click, click".

Finally, even the Guardian Monument released by Merlin with the Amplification Spell Casting Tool could not withstand the entanglement of so many white silks, and gradually began to shatter.

Merlin had a look of helplessness on his face, he had no choice now, and as the stone tablet in front of him shattered, his whole body was bound by the white silk spit out by the pattern spider.

Merlin was entwined by the white silk spit out by the Pattern Spider, and then the Pattern Spider began to drag Merlin into a hole in the ground.

It was pitch black inside the hole, and Merlin was dragged forward, all he could feel was that it was a slope that stretched below the ground.

Merlin even wondered if the Pattern Spider would treat him as a delicacy and drag him into the Flower Spider's lair to enjoy it.

Soon, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the dark hole, and the patterned spider dragged Merlin to a hidden hall, and Merlin saw at a glance that in the middle of the hall, there was actually a huge flame-shaped statue.

However, this flame-shaped statue was very large, much larger than the flame-shaped statue I had seen behind the stone gate before.

The pattern spider came to Merlin's body again, and then, I don't know what method the pattern spider used, which was originally wrapped around Merlin's body, and the incomparably tough white silk was now broken and scattered all over the ground.

Then, the Pattern Spider went straight to a corner of the hall, prostrate on the ground, motionless.

Merlin frowned, this place didn't look like the nest of the pattern spider, and the pattern spider had no intention of "eating" Merlin.

On all sides of the hall, there are some beautiful murals, and these murals, without exception, are actually painted flames, and they are all kinds of flames.

There are wild fiery red flames, very strange red flames, and even white flames that seem to be still bubbling cold, in short, all kinds of flames are almost painted on the murals.

"What is this place?"

Merlin muttered under his breath, he couldn't move now. So even though he knew it, the pattern spider retreated to a corner in the hall. Merlin couldn't escape either.

It's been a long time. The huge flame-shaped statue in the hall began to shake rapidly, and the flame-shaped statue was burning like a real flame, and even Merlin felt that the temperature in the air seemed to be much higher.

Gradually. From the flame-shaped statue, a flame really rose, and this flame was burning violently, gradually forming a "little man" composed entirely of flames and only the size of a palm.

This "little man", because it is all made of flames, cannot be seen clearly at all. However, although the flame "villain" was only the size of a palm, its temperature was surprisingly high, and it was far away from Merlin. Merlin could feel its blazing temperature, which was unbearable.

The flame "villain" floated directly in front of Merlin. Condescendingly, he looked down at Merlin, and then said: "Congratulations, lucky spellcaster, you have defeated the puppet guards left behind by your master, and you also have a first-level spell furious flame, which can be regarded as passing the master's test." ”

"Test?"

Merlin looked at this flame "villain", his face showed a look of doubt, this flame "villain" looks very intelligent, but it is similar to the black cat Didemos he met in the dark spirit realm, so Merlin is not too surprised, this flame "villain" can speak.

"Yes, it was a test left by the owner. As long as the puppet guards are defeated, and there is a first-level spell Raging Flame or Sea of Flames, then even if you pass the master's test, you will get some treasures prepared by the master to cultivate the Collapse Fire. ”

The flame "villain" explained calmly to Merlin.

Merlin's mind was in turmoil, and he seemed to have a thousand things to sort out, this ancient ruin was left behind by a powerful spellcaster three or six hundred years ago.

But 3,600 years later, this flame "villain" and those patterned spiders still exist, which makes Merlin a little unimaginable.

"What the hell are you?"

Merlin wondered what this flame "villain" was, neither lifeless, but also seemed to be intelligent, not at all as dull as the puppet guard before.

"I am a flame spirit captured by my master, and I am sealed in this flame-shaped statue, and I can never leave the range of this statue for a hundred meters. At the beginning, the master said that as long as I helped the master find a suitable spellcaster who could cultivate the Flame of Collapse to its second form, then I would be able to return to my own freedom. ”

"For so many years, there are many people who have found the ancient ruins of the master, but there are very few people who can really enter the first layer and face the puppet guards, this time, you have finally defeated the puppet guards, and the conditions have been met, but unfortunately, one of them has left the ancient ruins, and without the treasures left by the master, it is impossible to cultivate the fire of collapse. So, you're the only one who qualifies now, so I ordered the Pattern Spider to drag you here. ”

After listening to the explanation of the flame elf, many doubts in Merlin's heart were solved, originally the flame elf had been paying attention to all the spellcasters who had entered the ancient ruins, because it wanted to get rid of the shackles of this statue and return to its freedom, so it had to do its best to help the owner of the ancient tower and find the caster who cultivated the fire of collapse.

The Flame Elf mentions that the spellcaster who left the ancient ruins should be Mage Lesen, who may have known about some of the mechanisms in the ancient towers, and after the sneak attack on Merlin failed, he tried to lock Merlin in the ancient ruins and trap Merlin to death.

Master Lesian didn't expect that this ancient ruin had been being watched by people all the time, and he had met the conditions, but he left the ancient ruin.

Without the treasures left behind by the mysterious owner of the ancient ruins, it can be predicted that even if Master Rice obtained the cultivation method of the Extinguishing Fire, it would be useless. I'm afraid that even the first form of the Extinguishing Fire can't be cultivated.

Merlin can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, trapped in the ancient ruins by Master Lesen, but he happens to be able to get many treasures left by the owner of the ancient tower, especially for the cultivation of the fire of collapse, which is of great help!
