20. Fire Demon

"I don't know," replied the Dharma Protector, "but I found that I was facing a force I had never seen before, and I couldn't think of anything other than to try to seal that door." I know a lot of seals, but they all take time to cast. ”

"As I stood there, I could hear the voices of half-beast trolls coming from the other side, and they could slam the door open at any moment. I couldn't make out what they were saying, I could only barely hear the words of a half-beast troll. Then something walked into the hall, and I could feel its power through the door. The half-beast trolls also fell silent out of fear. The thing gripped the door's tab and sensed me and my power. ”

"I can't guess where the other party came from, but I've never faced such a challenge in my life, and the other party intends to use strong telekinesis to counteract my spell. For a moment, the door was out of my grasp and began to open slowly! I was forced to perform the mantra, which almost exhausted all my strength, and more than the stone door could bear. The door suddenly exploded, and something as black as a cloud obscured all the light inside, and I was pushed away by the force of the explosion and rolled down the stairs, thankfully the walls and roof collapsed at this point. ”

"Spiritual Consciousness is wide open!" the Second Elder muttered, "It can't be that there is a flame demon spiritual sense wide open, is there a fire at the bottom of the mine?" However, we have no choice but to continue walking. ”

Soon, everyone could clearly see the red fire. It swayed and shone on the corridor in front of it. Now, they can finally see the road in front of them. Not far away was a slope, and at the end there was a low arch from which the light shone out. The air started to get very hot.

When they came to the arch, the Great Elder motioned for the group to stay and let him go first. The group could see his face flushed with red fire as his head poked out, and he quickly retreated.

"There's an air of evil out there," he said, "no doubt waiting for us to step into the trap, but I finally know where we are." This is the first level of the underground, right under the gate. This is the second hall of the Emperor's Tomb, and the exit is nearby. You go to the eastern end, less than a quarter of a mile to the left. Cross the bridge, climb a series of wide staircases, follow a large road, cross the hall, and you're there!

The crowd looked inside, and in front of them was a large cavernous hall, which was more empty and slender than the one before them. They were near its eastern end, and the cavern stretched west into the darkness. In the center of the cave are two rows of large stone pillars, carved like ancient wood, and at the top are many branching stone carvings that support the intricately carved roof of the ceiling. The pillars are black and have a smooth surface, but with a reddish reflection. Just opposite, between two huge stone pillars, there is a deep chasm. The tongues of fire in the rift kept coming out, licking and eating the stone pillars next to them, and black smoke flowed in the blazing air.

"Watch ahead!" said the Great Elder, "there is the bridge ahead, and it looks narrow and dangerous. ”

The group scurried through the hall.

Suddenly, a black abyss appeared in front of him. At the end of the hall, the floor sinks into a deep, bottomless hole. The only road leading to the door was a lonely-looking stone arch bridge, about fifty feet long. It was originally designed to resist anyone who could invade the first hall and the aisles outside, as people could only cross the bridge one by one. At this moment, the elder stopped, and the others paused.

Two gigantic trolls stepped out, carrying two large stone slabs and throwing them to the ground with a thud as a bridge over the flames. But what really scared the elves was not the trolls, but the sights behind them. The formation of the half-beast trolls slowly moved away, and it seemed that they themselves were very scared, and something came out. The human eye could not see the true form of the monster, it seemed to be a huge shadow covered in the black form of a human form, and an unimaginable evil and fear contained in it, and at the same time it was constantly emanating outward.

It walked up to the flames, and the light dimmed as if it were obscured by a dark cloud, and then, leaping over the cracks in the earth, the flames of the depths of the earth gushing out to greet it, igniting the mane on his back and pulling out a long line of flame. Black smoke danced in the air, evoking a sense of horror that the end was approaching. The monster held a blade shaped like a tongue of fire in its right hand, and a nine-tailed whip made of flames in the other.

"Ahh

Everyone was shocked.

The Great Elder looked at it with wide eyes. "It's over, our nemesis!" he shouted, letting go of his hand and letting the dragon sword fall to the ground, his hands covering his face.

"Flame Demon?" the Dharma Protector Elder sighed in a low voice, "I see!" He staggered back a few steps, leaned on his cane, and said, "Is this the destiny of heaven? I'm already tired......

It turns out that the Emperor's Tomb itself has many laws and prohibitions, and many kinds of creatures have been cultivating in this law intentionally or unintentionally for many years. Some gifted and intelligent beings have actually cultivated to perfection, and together with the Emperor's Heart Sutra, they have created a fire demon with great spiritual awareness.

The dark form of flames rushed towards the crowd, and the half-beast trolls shouted over the stone slab that served as a bridge. Then, Boromo blew the horn, which was deafening, like a mountain overwhelming the sea, and the sound of thousands of people contending frightened the half-beast trolls, and even the Hokage stopped. Then, like a flame blown out by a black wind, the echo suddenly ceased, and the enemy began to advance again.

"Hurry up and cross the bridge!" shouted the Great Elder with all his strength, "Run! I must hold this road, you guys run!" Leng Feng and Dharma Protector Elder Mo ignored his orders, still holding on to the other end of the bridge, standing side by side behind the Great Elder, waiting for him. The others stood dumbfounded on the porch across the bridge, unable to bear to let the Great Elder face the enemy alone.

The Fire Demon walked to the bridge, and the elder stood in the middle of the bridge, leaning on his staff in his left hand, but holding the Dragon Yin Sword in the other hand that emitted a dazzling white light. His foe stopped to face him again, and their shadows stretched out to him like a pair of great wings. He raised the Nine-Tailed Whip, and each fork began to flicker with light and hiss, and fire erupted from his nostrils, but the elder did not back down.
