In a wooden house on the edge of the Normandy pastures, an old man sitting in the corner with his head bowed like a broken kite suddenly burst out, roared to the sky, and trembled.

Even the whites of his eyes were engulfed in a deep red, and the skin of his whole body cracked like the tiles of an old wall, peeling off to the ground, and a bright and dark fire flowed between every vein, making him look as terrifying as a fire pot that was ready to explode, pouring out a devastating heat.

Xia Mingwei turned his head sharply and looked at the old man's neck in shock, which was engraved with a coat of arms.

No doubt...... This is a coat of arms that belongs exclusively to the mythological sequence.

The moment his eyes touched the red dragon pattern in the center of the coat of arms, a name suddenly popped up in his mind, a shocking name: Hephaestus - one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greek mythology, known as the "God of Fire" and "God of Craftsmen"!

Damn it! A mythical carrier, actually came to the door and asked the sequencer to dream for him? Who the fuck would have thought that?!

Xia Mingwei was stunned for half a second, and roared: "Run!" His mythological sequence is out of control! ”

But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was too late, and the flames were raging like floodgates, and Leno and Cornell were the closest to the old man, and they were the first to be affected, and they had barely turned their heads for less than a second, and the flames came like a crimson spring, penetrating every pore of them without effort, burning every bone and even bone marrow.

The rich smell of blood mixed with the smell of charcoal burning rushed into his nose, Xia Mingwei's whole body was shocked, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently: "Damn it......"

At this moment, his pupils reflected the frenzied flames that came from his face, and his brain was running at a rapid pace, speculating whether he would be able to get out of this thermal energy attack comparable to the "Tunguska explosion" if he summoned the somersault cloud at the first time...... But there is no need to hesitate, the answer is no, his body can't react at all.

But as a second-order visionary, his brain reaction speed was far faster than his body, so in this short fraction of a second, Xia Mingwei thought a lot.

I definitely can't withstand this explosion, not to mention, the flames of Hephaestus don't know if they will suppress regeneration like Zeus. If that's the case, even if I do survive, I'll lose the right to escape. Damn it!

No, although my body can't react yet, I still have a hole card to use!

Gecko.

At the end of my thoughts, there were only two words of unknown meaning left in my mind.

In the next half second, the gecko hidden at the wrist popped out of its sleeve, and it suddenly opened its mouth and exhaled a breath forward.

This breath seemed insignificant, but under the increase of telekinesis, this air flow suddenly expanded a thousand times, turning into a violent wind roaring forward, and in the fleeting moment of life and death, the reaction force brought by this hurricane caused Xia Mingwei's body to flip backwards and shoot away, as if returning from hell to heaven!

[Released the "Jealousy" emotional skill of the fantasy doll "Gecko", the Wind of Jealousy, which has been emptied.] 】

Xia Mingwei's back, hard as iron, slammed through the walls of the wooden house.

In the process of bouncing backwards, he crossed his arms in front of him, and the fingertips of his ten fingers squeezed out shadow power, and the wild shadow was like a young dragon, instantly forming a black cloud at the bottom of his feet.

Relying on the support of the somersault cloud, Xia Mingwei stopped firmly in mid-air, he leaned down, half knelt above the somersault cloud, and gasped for breath.

If it had been a few tenths of a second late, he would have died in the flames of Hephaestus......

Xia Mingwei raised his head sharply and looked ahead, only to see that the entire grassland was burning, and the smoke screen rose into the sky like a demon with its wings outstretched. With a deafening roar, the black smoke cleared, and the shadow that covered the sky and the sun landed on the earth, spreading its majestic wings.

Dragon.

A dragon with a body size of more than 70 meters.

At this moment, the setting sun completely set below the horizon, and the dark wasteland bloomed with fire, and the dragon's breath turned into a scorching wind that blew across the earth, its erect eyes shining in the darkness, and the crimson scales that shrouded its entire body were layered on top of each other, like a heavy armor.

Even compared to Poseidon, the god of the sea, who landed in the port of Alinge that Shamingway saw in the video that day, Hephaestus, the god of flames, was no less impressive, and this momentum was like a demon god who had escaped from the prison of fire.

The flickering flames in the air rushed to the face, gently burning the cheeks and bringing a cold touch, as if the Grim Reaper caressed mercy before swinging the scythe. Xia Mingwei took a deep breath, and what hit his nose and mouth was the smell of tobacco spread from the scorched grassland, mixed with a bit of blood.

Gotta get out of the Normandy ranch right away, this is a fucking fourth-order mythical carrier, and no matter how explosive I am, I'm no match for him.

Xia Mingwei drove the somersault cloud backwards, but at that moment, Hephaestus raised his proud head and opened his huge mouth towards the sky.

Starting from Hephaestus's giant throat, the magnificent flame pillar dozens of meters long rushed straight up, reflecting the sky into a red, blood-like canopy, this flame pillar was like a water column of a fountain, rushing to the highest place, and then blooming, swaying in all directions, like thousands of crimson comets falling, they scattered to the four corners of the Normandy pastures, and finally formed a curtain of flames that covered the sky and the sun, completely blocking the things within a radius of two hundred meters.

Field.

These two words appeared in Xia Mingwei's mind.

"Hell, this is Hephaestus' domain ability!" His voice was hoarse, and his fiery eyes reflected the curtain of fire that continued to sweep the earth.

The pillar of flame that Hephaestus spat out faded away, but it turned into a fiery red giant star and hovered a little in the air! The oval-shaped curtain of flames spread out by this giant star never faded, as if molten slurry was flowing down from mid-air, eradicating the possibility of everyone entering and exiting this barrier in a domineering manner.

Xia Mingwei looked around left and right, trying to find the exit of this flame curtain realm, but he failed, there seemed to be dense magma flowing around him, if he tried to force a breakthrough, it would only be a dead end, and in the process of passing through the flame curtain, every cell in his body would be buried in the extreme heat!

By this time, Hephaestus had already rushed forward, its teeth baring and roaring, its fangs sharp as if it could cross the earth, and its jawbones like a metal helmet made its face hideous and intimidating, like some kind of war machine born purely for killing.

Shamingway didn't even want to touch it, his mind was full of possibilities to escape from Hephaestus' realm, and in the end he chose the path with the best chances.

- Let the clone use the "Seventy-two Changes" to turn into a dragon, and then try to rely on him to withstand the flame curtain and open an opening for me!

Thinking of this, he jerked off a strand of hair, and a doppelganger suddenly formed beside him, falling towards the wasteland that had been burned to a leaden gray by the fire.

Before hitting the ground, a shadow coat had already poured out of the doppelganger's body, and at the same time, somersault clouds had formed under his feet.

"Bang bang" fell twice, Xia Mingwei and his doppelganger drove the somersault cloud at the same time, and the two were like a black flowing shadow, shuttling towards the edge of the flame curtain realm with incredible speed, but in the blink of an eye, they had already reached their destination.

The body is like a fire, and the terrible temperature sweeps through every pore.

In front of him, a raging curtain of flames smashed down from the nine heavens, washing the ground like a waterfall, burning a ravine up to ten meters wide on the ground, and the ravine stretched into the distance, and from the sky you would find that this ravine was oval-shaped, and the fire of Hephaestus flowed inside, like crimson magma.

Behind him, Hephaestus roared and rushed towards him, running like a crawling gecko, and his limbs stepped on the wasteland with a deafening loud noise, like a Jurassic Tyrannosaurus rex.

Bang——! Bang——! Bang——!

Xia Mingwei's heart fluttered with the sound of the red dragon's footsteps.

The temperature behind him is getting higher and higher, if it weren't for the shallow protection of the appearance with shadow power, Xia Mingwei's clothes may have been torn by the terrifying heat.

He hissed deeply, and the doppelganger next to him had turned into a swarthy oriental dragon, with a body as long as a rainbow, a sacred face with a beard, and seven slender claws distributed in the front, middle and back parts of the body.

The sound of "bang" breaking through the air fell, and the oriental dragon transformed by the clone rushed towards the flame curtain, followed by a sizzling sound that came into Xia Mingwei's ears, like a piece of bread falling into the magma and instantly evaporating into nothingness.

The same is true of the dragon transformed by the seventy-two transformations, its head completely evaporated in the second second after it rushed into the flames, and then its body squeezed into it collapsed into shadows in the wash of the flames.

Damn it!

Xia Mingwei's hopes were shattered, he had hoped that the clone would be able to withstand a curtain of flames so that he could get out of this barrier.

But his idea was too naïve, and the flames of Hephaestus in their entirety could not be so easy to deal with!

At this moment, Hephaestus behind him opened his bloody mouth, and the violent flames suddenly converged into a ball, and then condensed into a point, turning into a pillar of red light and spewing out.

The somersault cloud under Xia Mingwei's body swayed wildly, dragging his figure to the right and instantly rushing out ten meters, and the flame pillar spit out by Hephaestus hit the top of the flame curtain, opening a hole, but this opening was filled again by the flame that fell from the sky in less than two seconds.

Right......

After Xia Mingwei avoided the flame pillar, he lowered his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and watched this scene with no danger, and his thoughts were racing.

"Yes, I can channel Hephaestus and use its attacks to smash through the Flame Curtain barrier it has created...... This is my only way to survive. ”

It's also dusk, a coastal town near the Normandy pastures.

Hogg staggered out of the inn, swearing French coming from behind him, and the hostess of the inn seemed to have a big opinion of him, but he didn't understand, so he chose to ignore it. After taking a sip of beer, he looked up at the crimson sky, and the dim afterglow burned through the clouds, breaking a deep yellow hole.

He rubbed his eyes and walked out into a trance on the nearby beach, where children were playing, their laughter upsetting Hogg a little, but reminded him of his daughter, the girl who liked to sit in the yard with a doll in her arms and watch the sunset.

He scratched his hair: "Next, we have to find a place to sleep, starting from France, where to run, there is still a way back to the North Pole, just sleep in the Mediterranean." ”

"Hey, shouldn't I stop here, Surtr." Hogg sat down cross-legged on the beach and looked deeply at the horizon, "I'm really tired, and the next time I wake up, I really don't have any old friends." Hey, you died so hastily, can you think about me a little? ”

His gaze was a little hollow, "I should have died...... In New York a few years ago, it wasn't you old thing talking to me, I would have shot myself in the head. ”

Hogg paused and laughed at himself, "But bullets can't kill me, and wine can't kill me, and I wonder if one day I'll sink into the sea so completely that I can't lift my eyelids again...... Sometimes I get scared when I think about it, but now I think it's a relief, Surtr. ”

At that moment, a pillar of flame rose in the sky on the distant horizon, followed by a deafening sound like the explosion of a nuclear bomb.

"That's ......," Hogg narrowed his swollen eyes.

He suddenly reached out and touched the pocket of the big gun, and took out a ball of fire from it, only to see that the fire was bright and dark, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

At this moment, in a small coastal town near the Normandy pastures, in a restaurant.

"Senior sister, have you seen Xia Mingwei since just now?" Jiang Zixiao held a piece of roasted bacon meat in his mouth, and his voice was muffled.

"Nope." Dong Ling took a sip of her cocktail.

"That's weird, he's been gone since an hour ago, didn't we say we wanted to have dinner together?" Jiang Zixiao took a sip of potato and corn soup, and suddenly thought: "Wait, he won't go to the Normandy ranch alone, but the ranch is some distance from the town, and his character should not be so reckless." ”

"I don't know."

"It was probably a drink with that Russian uncle. Hey, it really hurts my heart to let go of the school's pigeons. Jiang Zixiao played with the knife and said in a contrived voice.

"I also released the pigeons." Dong Ling said lightly.

"Haha......" Jiang Zixiao was about to say something, when a deafening explosion came, as if an earthquake-like movement swept away, the dining table shook violently, silver cutlery bounced out of the basket, slapping the table with a clanging sound, the whole village and town were trembling, and even the sea shook.

The braid on the back of Jiang Zixiao's head swayed, and he frowned, with a grim expression: "Wait...... Is this kind of movement a carrier of mythology? ”

He got up from his seat and walked briskly to the outside of the restaurant, looking up at the sky, where a dark mushroom cloud slowly rose under the blood-colored canopy of the horizon and then dissipated.

Instead, an oval-shaped curtain of flame appeared at the end of the horizon, looking like a giant barrier from a distance.

"Oh no," Jiang Zixiao's voice was hoarse, "There is a big problem with this mission, it is mentioned in the textbook, this is Hephaestus's domain." It's been a long time since the war started six years ago, and it's been a long time since we ran into it. ”

Dong Ling came to him with a sketchpad and looked wordlessly at the mushroom cloud in the sky, and the hot wind blew from the direction of the pasture.

Her snow-white hair seemed to be fluttering in the wind.
