Chapter 33: The Fire Dragon
Wang Lung is not a fool, the fire ring of the nine pillars of fire is already a prohibition, and his body alone cannot break out, but he also saw that this fire ring is not too big, it is only three zhang square, and his body cannot pass through the light curtain on the inside of the fire circle, but he can borrow strength, that is, with the power of the prohibition to rebound.
Although Wang Lung didn't know where the nine pillars of fire led, there must be a limit in this space, and it was definitely impossible to make a boundless enclosed space with Huo Jiao's supernatural powers, and the pillar of fire was soaring to the sky, he had tried it just now, and there was no prohibition above him after three feet from the ground, he rushed to the nine pillars of fire just to use the fire pillar forbidden light curtain as a springboard to see if he could rush to the top of this space.
There are two purposes for doing this, one is to hope to escape from the encirclement of the nine pillars of fire, instead of being hit by the rain of fire in the encirclement, it is better to go head-on and see where the end of the pillar of fire is;
The second purpose is very simple, even Wang Lung doesn't believe it, but after he made that action, a hope suddenly appeared in his heart, just with the mentality of giving it a try, the space of three zhang square, the prohibition on the inside of the fire ring will bounce it away at the moment of touch, Wang Lung does not rush hard with his body, but pedals with his feet, and uses the way of pedaling to make his body bounce to the opposite circle of fire at the fastest speed, so that it goes diagonally upwards in the form of 'zhi'.
This method was also the first time Wang Lung had performed it, and it was inspired by an acrobatic performance he had once seen, that is, in a large cylinder, when the speed reached a certain limit, whether it was a bicycle, a motorcycle or a car. You can drive around the cylinder at will.
Nowadays, the fire ring formed by the nine pillars of fire is like a cylinder, the only difference is that the prohibition can rebound Wang Lung's body, and the light curtain inside the fire ring is prohibited like the inner wall of the cylinder, and even cars can drive like that, not to mention Wang Long, who walks in the zigzag shape. He just borrowed his strength, although the ascent was not as fast as he thought. But it's already possible.
What Wang Lung didn't expect was that when he escaped from the Nine Pillars of Fire according to his own ideas, the heat of those rain of fire falling from above was actually not high, and it didn't hurt him at all, and it didn't even have the slightest effect on him to use his strength to move up.
Since this is the case, Wang Lung didn't think too much about it, and his body continued to run upward.
About the time of a cup of tea, in Wang Long's opinion. His current position is at least thousands of meters above the ground, but it is still not over, the nine pillars of fire around him are still rotating, and the rain of fire in the sky continues to fall regardless of the loss, in this regard, Wang Lung couldn't help frowning, he has now found a little abnormal, that is, those fire rains are no longer as harmless as they were at the beginning. Instead, it was slowly increasing in heat, and perhaps this temperature still couldn't hurt him. It won't be long before the fire rain continues, and he won't be able to bear it, and he will even fall here.
No, you must leave this place quickly and wait for the temperature of the fire to exceed 2,000 degrees. Even I couldn't bear it for too long, Wang Lung looked at the unreachable overhead, and made up his mind.
However, what Wang Lung didn't expect was that the temperature of those fire rains increased very quickly, but in a few breaths, it had already doubled. In his opinion, there are three possibilities, one is that the temperature of the fire rain itself is continuing to increase, the second is that the dragon head is making trouble behind it, and the last possibility is that it is almost at the end of the pillar of fire.
After another cup of tea, when Wang Lung felt that he was more than 5,000 zhang above the ground, there was no end above his head as before, and a little hazy mist appeared there about a hundred zhang above it.
Wang Lung couldn't help but smile when he saw this, it seems that he made the right bet this time, this enclosed space really has an end, as long as he passes through the fog blockade, he will definitely be able to leave this place.
At this time, Wang Lung also felt that the temperature of the fire and rain had risen to two thousand degrees, but fortunately, there was still a hundred zhang away, and this time could still be delayed, otherwise he would really have to think of another way.
Kick hard again, the rising speed instantly soared by two percent, in the blink of an eye, Wang Lung reached the top of the pillar of fire, the mist rolled, the pillar of fire is at the end of this, and it is impossible to borrow strength again, but this is not difficult for Wang Lung, kick the edge of the pillar of fire, and the body will rush directly to the layer of mist, in his opinion, as long as he rushes into the mist, there is a chance that he will be able to get out of this space.
It's a pity that all this is Wang Lung's good wish, and reality are fundamentally different things, when the top of his head and the edge of the mist just contacted, he felt that there was an invisible force blocking his entire body, let him impact hard, even with a war knife to slash to no effect, in mid-air, Wang Lung had nowhere to borrow, he could only desperately watch the fog above his head get farther and farther away from him.
The depressed mood was quickly left behind by Wang Lung, since he couldn't get out from above, he didn't want to return to the inside of the pillar of fire, and on the way down, his body suddenly changed direction, and fell straight to the ground against the outside of the pillar of fire.
The height of 5,000 zhang was already very dangerous for Wang Lung, if there was no borrowing point to buffer, even if he did not die, his physical body would be seriously injured, but Wang Lung did not panic, because when he fell, he was close to the outside of the encirclement of the pillar of fire, and that layer of prohibition had something to borrow for him.
Every time he crossed a distance of about 100 zhang, Wang Lung would stab his sword at the pillar of fire, and use the prohibition of the pillar of fire to slow down the speed of the descent, which was also Wang Lung's urgency, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble, but Wang Lung ignored a problem, the situation when he fell happened to fall in the eyes of the dragon head, with the mind of the dragon head, how could he watch Wang Lung easily escape.
When there was still a distance of about three hundred zhang from the ground, Wang Lung wanted to use the war knife again to stop the descent speed, but he didn't expect that when the war knife stabbed at the pillar of fire, the layer of prohibition suddenly disappeared, and the pillar of fire was stabbed by it with a long hole.
Wang Lung couldn't help but be startled by such a change, and when he looked sideways at the pillar of fire that continued to rotate, seeing that there was no change, and when he was shocked in his heart, there was a muffled sound above his head.
Following the sound, the pillar of fire that had been soaring into the sky began to collapse at the very top, not to say that it was collapsing, but to turn into a tumbling cloud of fire. The fire cloud kept tumbling from top to bottom, and the pillar of fire quickly melted into the fire cloud as it shrouded it.
Wang Lung saw everything in his eyes, and according to his calculations, at the same time as it landed, he was afraid that the fire cloud would also arrive.
Wang Lung was confused about this change, but he didn't have much of an idea. As the saying goes, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, everything in front of him is formed by the flames spewed by the dragon's head, either destroy this fire cloud, or directly find the dragon's head to fight hard, he doesn't believe that after solving the dragon's head, this space can continue to be maintained.
Watching himself fall to the ground, falling from a height of four or five hundred feet. Although there will be no danger to life and injury, but at the same time that Huoyun catches up with him, his feet must be a little paralyzed and do not obey the call, the danger is in front of him, how can he leave a flaw to limit himself to passivity, in this regard, Wang Lung is not at all helpless.
When there was still a height of seventy or eighty zhang above the ground, Wang Lung's body turned. The left and right feet step on each other a few times in a row, using their own bodies to slow down the descent. Although this delay effect is not too good, but when the distance is not high, with his current physical strength, it is a good choice.
A bang sound came into Wang Lung's ears, and a thick layer of smoke and dust burst out on the ground, and Wang Lung fell firmly to the ground. At the same time as he just landed, he felt the stimulation from his legs, but fortunately there was no feeling of paralysis, and he leaned over and ran quickly into the distance.
The reason is simple. That fire cloud is really not small, at least thirty zhang square, if you stand in place, you must still be shrouded in fire clouds, just out of the siege of the fire pillar, and then fall into the unknown fire clouds, Wang Lung is not so stupid, can only take advantage of the gap where the fire cloud falls to quickly dodge.
After Wang Lung had just run a short distance and was able to avoid the range of the fire cloud, the rapidly falling fire cloud smashed into the ground like a behemoth.
A loud explosion came into Wang Lung's ears, due to the distance, the sound was too harsh, Wang Lung felt some tinnitus, although it was not as good as the sonic attack of the dragon's head, but he was more concerned about the weight of the fire cloud falling.
Judging from the power of the fire cloud landing, fortunately escaped in advance, otherwise, he would definitely be slapped into the ground by the fire cloud, whether he would be injured or not, Wang Lung himself is not easy to estimate, but listening to the falling sound, I am afraid that it will not be easy to be hit by this.
Forbidden, high temperature, gravity, the flame spewed by the dragon head has made Wang Lung see a lot of magical powers since it landed, and after the fire cloud landed, it smashed up thick sand and dust to obscure most of Wang Lung's vision, even so, the fire cloud still did not dissipate, and at the same time it landed, it was a tumbling, suddenly bursting dozens of zhang high, and the speed of rolling was getting faster and faster.
Wang Lung looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it seemed that the next change was about to appear in front of him, and he didn't know what the fire cloud would change into.
No matter what, Wang Lung didn't care too much, as long as he didn't get caught up in it, even if Huoyun turned into a real dragon, his strength would not be high, as long as he could solve the trouble in front of him, the next opponent would be the dragon head not far behind him.
Wang Lung knew very well that from the beginning of entering this space to the present, there was actually only one opponent he had encountered, that is, the dragon head, maybe at first he still suspected that this dragon head was the incarnation of the real dragon that Huo Jiao used secret techniques to communicate, but now he is ninety percent sure that the dragon head is the illusion of the fire Jiao, but its strength has been forcibly raised to an incredible level, and it can also use some real dragon powers, as long as the dragon head is killed, then he can leave.
These questions were only fleeting in Wang Long's mind, and the fire cloud in front of him was already almost tumbling, and the fire cloud that was originally more than ten zhang high actually began to compress continuously, and soon it was only three zhang long, and the prototype of the illusion could already be seen clearly.
Wouldn't it really be guessed by yourself, could it really be transformed into a real dragon, since the fire cloud can be transformed into a real dragon-like existence, why is the dragon head just a head, not a body, this question Wang Lung has not yet figured out, and he was stunned by everything in front of him.
Sure enough, it is a real dragon, although it is a lot smaller, but its form is no different from that of a real dragon, with a pale red body, dense dragon scales, and a lot of dragon horn dragon whiskers, perhaps there is only one thing that is different from the real dragon, that is, the eyes of the fire dragon in front of him.
The silver light flashed, the two dragon eyes were the same, as if there were no eyeballs, but two silver lights flickered in it, Wang Long saw this, took a closer look, and already understood, at first the silver light in the body of the flame monster that he could not cut was not non-existent, but all composed of the fire dragon's eyes.
In Wang Lung's opinion, the existence of silver light in the flame should not be, how can there be impurities in the pure flame, this may be the weakness of the enemy in front of him, don't look at the appearance of the other party transformed into a fire dragon, there is no leakage of flames, as if there is a real body, but Wang Lung felt in the dark, even if the sword slashed down and cut off the body of the fire dragon, it would still be re-healed like the flame monster, this feeling is very real, and Wang Lung does not need to verify it.
It seems that the key to solving the problem lies in the other party's eyes, the body of the flame has a silver light, this weakness is obviously exposed, if the fire Jiao is an existence above the distraction stage, Wang Lung may not have such an opinion, but unfortunately the other party is only the infant pill stage, and it is also a crystal nucleus illusion, not a real underage fire Jiao at all.
As for how to defeat the fire dragon in front of him, Wang Lung didn't think of a good way, he could only take one step at a time, now is not the time to think about the problem, after the fire dragon was formed, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the dragon head in the distance, and a dragon groaned, as if he was asking for the other party's opinion, and he didn't pay attention to Wang Long who was close in front of him.
Wang Lung didn't care about this, he didn't know what the strength of the fire dragon was, he couldn't take the lead in attacking, in his opinion, since the fire dragon was transformed into a dragon's head, the strength was definitely not as good as the dragon's head, and he could withstand the dragon's attack, presumably the fire dragon's attack was not a problem, not to mention, now how to solve the fire dragon's two silver eyes was a problem he had to consider.
The two did not hold each other for a long time, the fire dragon only let out two or three dragon groans, as if it had communicated with the dragon's head, and after the head turned to Wang Long, its body was instantly enlarged to ten zhang, more than three times more than three times out of thin air, and the two silver shining eyes were even more dazzling.
When Wang Lung landed his gaze on the other party's eyes, a dazzling light flashed in the other party's eyes, and Wang Lung couldn't help but tilt his head to avoid the other party's eyes, but his head had just deviated, and there was a bad feeling in his heart. (To be continued......)
