158 The taste of provocation.
It was also early spring in March, near the Fire Temple, but the sun was in the sky, and the heat was smoking.
At this moment, Ronald is facing the scorching sun, looking down into the distance.
The top of the hill beneath his feet was like a waxed mahogany table, wide and flat, very different from the straight and steep mountain walls! The horizontal rock formations of the stone pillars are like tree rings, clear and clear, and they are stacked on top of each other in circles.
Although it is a red rock, the sunlight makes the layers of the rocks glow with strange colors, highlighting the wonder of this area.
But Ronald had no intention of appreciating this unique beauty.
After climbing over this bare giant red rock mountain forest and taking a serious look around, he reluctantly found that he seemed to be in an embarrassing situation.
Surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, some canyons were bottomless! These were naturally nothing to him, but the trouble was that he looked far away, but he couldn't find any trace of the Fire Temple!
"Damn!
Ronald couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Not only could he not find any trace of the Fire Temple, but he also didn't see the village! This area seemed to be uninhabited! This made him wonder if this was the central area of the Fire Temple.
This doubtful thought was vetoed by him the moment it popped up. Because the inhibiting force in the body has always existed, and there is no tendency to weaken, it proves that this place is still within the scope of the realm limit.
"Irel. Ronald took the rare initiative to call out the goblin: "Do you know magic like Eagle Eye?"
"I won't. β
After hearing this response, Ronald stopped speaking. He looked around at the mottled red rock cliffs beneath him, estimated the general direction in his mind, and began to walk around.
Irel couldn't contain her curiosity: "What are you doing? Walking around?"
"Find a place. β
"Huh?"
Irel tilted her head, unable to understand.
However, after seeing Ronald's next move, she finally understood what he wanted to do. So she also obediently flew behind him, watching quietly.
Ronald walked for several minutes, and finally found a relatively secluded place on the top of a flat and wide mountain. In this place, there are two large rocks in front of and behind them, forming a narrow angle in the shade of the sun.
Once he had chosen a location, he took out his dagger and began to carve a circle on the ground.
The red rock beneath his feet was hard, harder than granite, but under Ronald's strong and dexterous wrist, it was just a plate of fluffy butter. Soon, the prototype of the teleportation circle was successfully carved. Ronald blew off the ashes, paused, examined them carefully, and painted them again. When the last line on the circle was connected, he took out the magic crystal powder, gently shook his wrist, and evenly sprinkled the powder containing the magic power into the carved lines.
After doing all this, he suddenly raised his head: "How long can your magic power freeze the ground?"
Irel, who was watching all this with great interest, was stunned when asked, she didn't understand why. However, after seeing the light breeze blowing and the magic crystal powder in the lines of the circle vibrating, Irel also understood the reason.
"Freeze this circle?" she asked, pointing to the circle. After getting Ronald's sure look, Irel held her cheeks and thought seriously for half a minute before giving a not very positive answer: "A day and a half at most." β
"Enough. β
Ronald nodded, then stood up and withdrew from the circle. "Frozen into a mirror. He was a little uneasy, so he repeated the emphasis: "Remember, a flat and smooth mirror." β
Although he still didn't understand why he wanted to carve a teleportation circle here, the little goblin didn't ask much and began to follow his master's instructions. She flapped her transparent membranous wings and flew lightly to the center of the circle, spreading her small white and transparent palms downwards and began to chant the syllables of the incantation silently.
Her body shimmered with a glimmer of crystal.
Unlike Ronald's slightly blue ice magic when he cast his spell, Irel unleashed ice magic, which was an ordinary crystal clear shimmer.
The reason for this slight difference in color is that Ronald has transformed himself into a complete icy caste, so he cannot unleash the magic of the other three natural castes. And the goblin, like most mages, is a whole family name, and when condensing magic power, it is naturally a normal surge of magic power.
A trace of cold air spread down the palm of her hand. Soon, ice condensed on the ground, and the ice streaks spread rapidly, completely freezing the entire magic circle, and finally forming a smooth mirror.
Due to the interference of magical power, the little goblin found that the spell that could usually be completed in three or five seconds took more than ten seconds to prepare at the moment.
However, it's just that the cast time is extended. She sensed that the upper limit of the magic power in her body, and the power of this spell, remained unchanged.
Looking at the reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Alright. She tilted her head a little smugly: "What do you think?"
Ronald watched silently. When he looked up, he noticed that Eliel still maintained the look of expecting praise, and he couldn't help but smile kindly, and complimented her according to her heart: "Good job." β
"Hee-hee, huh. Finally complimented, Irel was satisfied, and she flew into the air with a grin: "So, what are we going to do next?"
Ronald stretched out his hand and pointed to the left-hand side: "Go there." β
The goblin hurriedly flew high, and following the direction of his finger, he saw a canyon with a dry riverbed.
"Let's go!"
Ronald gave a short command, and before the goblin could react, he summoned her back to the back of her hand. As for himself, he walked quickly to the edge of the red rock cliff, suddenly tore the back of his clothes, and jumped down.
The scenery around him receded rapidly, and the howling wind continued to rise, blowing the hair on his forehead.
Ronald squinted, feeling the sharp sound of the wind grinding against his skin. The speed of the fall was getting faster and faster, but his resolute face was still calm. As he approached the bottom of the cliff, Ronald spread his wings and landed at the bottom of the canyon with strong lift. But in order to save his mana, the moment his toes touched the gravel floor, he withdrew his magic in time.
Under Ronald's precise magical control, the pitch-black wings dissipated and disappeared almost the moment they were stretched.
And he began to gallop all the way towards the chosen direction.
Deep in the canyon, the gravel is messy, and there is no viable road at all.
Ronald was able to jump nimbly through these rocky piles of different sizes. The speed was as fast as the wind, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.
At the end of the day, nothing was found.
Except for some beasts and birds, as well as a few wind-based demon wolves he encountered, Ronald never found any other breath of life. He was not discouraged, and after a little rest, Ronald spoke to the goblin in his mental consciousness: "It's almost time?"
"Well, it's been more than a day, and I can't guarantee it if it's late. β
After receiving the reply, Ronald drew his magic power and condensed the ice mirror circle under his feet. Soon, his body disappeared into the dark and deep spatial gap, and returned to the top of the Red Rock Mountain through the spatial passage.
After summoning the goblin, he gave a brief command: "Go on." β
The goblin nodded knowingly, and quickly flew above the icy mirror that had not yet dissipated. The slightest cold qi diverged again, and the edge of the ice mirror blessed by magic also spread a little.
"Come in. β
A glimmer of light flashed, and the leprechaun flew into the ornament on the back of Ronald's hand.
And he, according to the method of the last time, is ready to go in another direction. But this time, he suddenly stopped sprinting before he approached the cliff.
"What's wrong?"
Irel's question came from within his mental consciousness. Ronald didn't explain, and he believed that Irel would soon be able to perceive it. As he had expected, Irel immediately uttered a tone of surprise, and he could hear a deep sense of unease mixed with it.
"...... over there"
"It seems that we are welcome. Ronald narrowed his eyes and looked out over the Broken Desert in the middle. No anomalies were found in the line of sight. He knew that it might be because of the distance, or maybe it was because the enemy was so well hidden.
"Since I was greeted by someone, it doesn't seem good to sneak forward. Ronald tilted his head and smiled at the goblin who had been allowed to fly out, "Did you say so?"
Seeing Ronald's smile, the little goblin's words were a little solemn, and he changed his cute expression to a grin: "That signal just now, the enemy is very strong......
These two people seemed to have changed their surnames in an instantβa cold smile and a solemn smile.
Since Ronald insisted on coming, of course he also knew that the enemy he faced this time might be God!
However, through a long period of knowledge of evil remedies, he also figured out that there seems to be a strange law in the current continent of Erathia - gods are not allowed to come to the world! This is why Lucifer must be reincarnated by dependence, and this is also the reason why he dares to explore the Temple of Fire. Otherwise, with his incomplete state of strength, he would not be so stupid as to kill himself.
Thoughts flowed quickly, and after just a few seconds, Ronald smiled and comforted the little goblin beside him.
"Let's go, let the host wait for a long time, it's not the etiquette that guests should have. β
Ronald did not choose to leap down this time.
After he reached the edge of the cliff, he patiently and carefully observed the jagged rocks on the cliff. Immediately after choosing a suitable area to climb, Ronald made a small jump, clasped his hands together, and climbed nimbly on the outward ridges of the rock. He then moved his left toe to jam his left toe in the gap in the stone wall, then leaned under his right foot to continue to hold on.
The cycle went on and on, and he relied on his agility to climb down the steep mountain wall at a rapid pace.
The cliff is nearly a thousand meters high, and it only took him more than ten minutes.
When he reached the bottom of the cliff, he did not continue to advance, but rested for a while. Between sitting on the rocks and drinking water, he took out the energy droplets in the ring and silently watched the magical blue glow in the shone of them.
"This doesn't work for you, does it?"
Ronald certainly knows it.
He freed Irel from the restraint of the ornament on the back of his hand and handed her a bottle. Seeing Irel's bewildered expression, Ronald explained softly, "You can absorb this to restore the magic power, right?"
The leprechaun nodded.
"Take this and stay invisible. β
"But...... Once invisible, my mana drains ...... rate."
Ronald interrupted her. "When I call you, unleash that magic. β
"Okay. β
Irel immediately unleashed this unique state magic, destroying her body into thin air.
Once activated, it cannot make any attacks. But as long as she doesn't make a sound and doesn't eliminate this state by herself, most enemies won't be able to perceive her presence. Unlike ordinary invisibility, the cost of this magic is also extremely staggering, as the price of being extremely difficult to detect mana fluctuations.
"Let's go. Ronald quickly straightened up: "Remember, don't make any moves without my orders!"
"That ......"
Ronald coldly interrupted the goblin's words: "Even if it is in danger of my near death. β
As he spoke, he strode towards the source of the mana fluctuation that had suddenly appeared, but had dissipated in an instant. This time he was not in a hurry, but moved at a normal pace like an ordinary adventurer.
Even if God can't really come, Ronald knows very well in his heart that this opponent is not something he can touch now.
Legendary?
No, at least it should be legendary......
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Thousands of years ago, the otherworldly flame elemental envoy summoned by the black dragon, the general of the defeated army who was chased and killed everywhere by himself, actually became the god of the Erathia continent?
Hopefully, there will be some gains......
Ronald couldn't help but walk a lot slower, with a sense of confusion and unconfidence in his heart.
Behind him, Irel, who was hidden and kept a distance of three hundred meters, also had a dignified demeanor. She clutched the bottle of energy droplet, pursed her lips, and silently flew behind Ronald.
A few brown and red fur demon wolves spotted an absent-minded human from a distance. They exchanged glances knowingly, and then quickly separated, hiding in the huge red rock piles, ready to sneak attack.
As time passed quietly, the reflection of their prey in their brown eyes was becoming clearer and clearer, so clear that they could gradually see the thickness of their prey's hair.
The demon wolves' mouths opened slightly, and red balls of flame light bulged out from their mouths.
The next moment.
A figure as swift as a meteor flashed by.
Surprised, the four wolves noticed that the scene around them suddenly began to churn and twist, and before they could figure out what was going on, they had to close their eyelids because of the heavy tiredness.
With a drowsy darkness, their brains stopped thinking, and their souls sank into a dark abyss.
Puff puff.
The demon wolf's head was foamed with blood, and it flew and fell heavily to the ground.
And more than ten meters away, the headless bodies of the demon wolves were still gushing with bloody arrows, washing the brown-red rocks into a shocking bright red.
Zizi.
The moment the plasma is contaminated with the hot rock, it evaporates into a pale red mist, which quickly becomes dry and red. And the fishy smell also spread quickly because of the diffusion of the mist.
Ronald just glanced at a group of red ants that didn't know where they had crawled from, and continued without looking back.
"So, so much?"
Hearing the words coming from his head, Ronald responded coldly: "Let's go, there's nothing to see." β
Behind him, there were more and more red ants, gradually crawling all over the warm body. The red dots the size of wheat grains were moving rapidly, looking dense and extremely disgusting.
The two vultures, which flew in with the smell of blood that humans could not smell, hovered helplessly, looking at the delicious food, but did not dare to land.
"Quack, quack. β
After a few screeching noises, they had to fly away. (To be continued.) )
