The emerald green light then shone, and the emerald crow Sani appeared, spreading its wings and emitting the power of nature. A sea of trees suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the black snake's flame offensive.
Immediately afterwards, Enzo increased his speed.
His whole body turned into a shadow and entered the crack of the Flesh Gate. The Emerald Crow also turned into light and dissipated. In mid-air, the black snake roared and black flames furiously sprayed towards the Flesh Gate.
"Wait a minute, stop!" Lyles' expression changed.
The Gate of Flesh is the channel to enter the Temple of Killing. If it is destroyed by the black flames, it will undoubtedly cut off Lyles's chance to compete for the Temple of Killing.
Black flames engulfed the door of flesh and blood.
But then, when the flames dissipated, the door of burning and rotting flesh quickly squirmed and recovered, eventually becoming the same as before.
Lyles breathed a sigh of relief.
He frowned and subconsciously wanted to scold Frederica, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw a jet of black flames shooting towards him.
"Damn it, you..." Lyles' expression changed.
When the scorching flames of destruction struck, Lyles immediately summoned a shadow to resist, then turned into a shadow and disappeared, appearing in a hidden place in the distance.
"Out of control again?" Lyles frowned.
Frederica absorbed the contaminated divine fire, often falling into a state of loss of control. This was no longer a surprise to Lyles, but now that the Temple of Killing had been opened, Frederica's loss of control undoubtedly made Lyles
Sta had a headache.
If he gives up Frederica now and enters the Gate of Flesh alone, Lyles will lose a lot of help when fighting for the Temple of Killing.
But if he waits for Frederica's loss of control to end, Lyles will also lose the opportunity in the battle for the temple!
In a hidden corner, Lyles frowned slightly, looking extremely confused.
...
At the same time, inside the gate of flesh and blood.
Enzo turned into a shadow and rushed into the crack. The feeling of void transformation made him a little uncomfortable, but after all, he had been promoted to a third-level wizard, so he already had a certain resistance to this reaction.
After the world was spinning, Enzo opened his eyes.
There was a vast ocean around him. Enzo looked around and found that he seemed to be in the water, swinging his legs and swimming upward.
Wow!
When I poked my head out of the water, I saw a lake, with the shore not far away. Enzo swam across it and arrived on the shore soon.
"Is this the Temple of Killing?" Enzo muttered to himself.
As early as his apprenticeship, he had had a similar experience. When he went to the Dark Labyrinth in the underground ruins, it was the kingdom of Lucilece, and the Temple of Slaughter should be the kingdom of the God of Slaughter.
After walking ashore, Enzo shook himself.
He first used magic power to dry the lake water on his body, and then used a chip to scan the surrounding area. After finding nothing, he called out softly.
"The Crow of Killing!"
There was a flash of dark light, and the Killing Crow appeared. After becoming a demigod, Hirsch didn't seem to like the crow form, so as soon as he appeared, he transformed into a boy in black clothes.
"This is...the Temple of Killing!"
Hirsch looked around, feeling the familiar atmosphere. A touch of surprise appeared on his young face, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
As a creature that combines the god of killing and the magical power of the Phantom Crow, Hirsch carries part of the memory of the god of killing, so he has a special feeling for this world and can easily distinguish certain things.
After receiving the confirmation from Killing Crow, Enzo felt a little relieved.
It seems that the door of flesh and blood does lead to the Temple of Slaughter, and this is the place left by the God of Slaughter.
"It's exactly the same as the scene in my memory..."
He Xiang looked at the lake in front of him and murmured to himself, "This is a lake, and behind the lake, there is a black mountain peak!"
As he said that, Hirsch looked up.
Behind the lake, a black mountain peak stands, seemingly very close to the shore, yet seemingly out of reach.
"Is there anything inside that mountain peak?" Enzo asked.
Now that we have successfully entered the Temple of Slaughter, the next step is naturally to look for the legacy of the God of Slaughter. For Enzo, who has explored the maze of darkness before, everything seems to be very familiar.
"What's in the mountain peak?" Hirsch frowned slightly.
A thoughtful expression appeared on his young face, and the memory in his mind seemed incomplete, which made him a little distressed. After a moment, he hesitated and said, ": Is there a divine fire hidden in that black mountain peak?"
Enzo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Since experiencing the last battle between the three gods, Enzo has learned more about the nature of the gods. He knows very well how precious the divine fire is and is a treasure of indescribable value.
Divine fire represents the foundation of the gods!
Only by fusing the divine fire with its own power can a demigod creature become a god. If a god loses the divine fire, it naturally means losing everything.
"There is a divine fire hidden in that black mountain peak." Enzo was a little unsure and asked again.
Hirsch thought for a moment and his eyes became firm.
"That's right, there is a divine fire hidden inside!" Hirsch nodded, his tone full of certainty. Originally, his memory was still a little vague, but for some reason, after seeing the black mountain clearly, Hirsch became more and more convinced that that
There is a divine fire hidden in a black mountain peak.
But Hirsch could not remember any other impressions of that mountain peak.
It was as if a divine fire was hidden in the black mountain peak, and a message was engraved into Hirsch's mind, making him extremely convinced.
Enzo's eyes flickered, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Through the spiritual link between him and Hirsch, Enzo was very sure that Hirsch was not lying. In his knowledge, there was indeed a divine fire hidden in the black peak across the lake.
However, this is only cognition, not memory!
There is no memory of the black mountain peak in Hirsch's mind, as if he has never seen this black mountain peak, but his understanding of "a divine fire hidden in the black mountain peak" is extremely clear.
"Anyway, just go and take a look and you'll find out." Enzo took a deep breath.
Although it is not clear what Hirsch's knowledge is, now that he has obtained the information that the divine fire is hidden in the mountain, Enzo must go and see what is there.
"If I get that divine fire, maybe I can use it to become a god!"
Hirsch's face was a little dazed, and the luster in his eyes flickered, but then his eyes became firm. His desire to become a god drove him to get the divine fire hidden in the black mountain peak.
"In that case, let's go!"
Then, with a thought in Enzo's mind, the shadow turned into wings and appeared behind his back, flying towards the black mountain peak. However, as soon as he crossed the lake below, there was a turmoil in the originally calm water.
Buzz!!
The ripples spread into circles, the water droplets trembled and floated, and transparent ghosts of nothingness surrounded Enzo like birds.
"Soul power!" Enzo frowned slightly.
A faint silvery luster appeared in the eyes, and the mental power spread into ripples, instantly shattering the surrounding ghosts into nothingness, but then, more and more ghosts emerged from the lake.
Compared to revenants, ghosts have no consciousness.
They followed an instinct and surrounded Enzo in dense numbers. However, they did not launch a too strong attack. Instead, they bit into the shadow wings behind him, greedily splitting and devouring them.
Plop!
The wings of shadow were torn apart, and Enzo also fell into the water, but he soon returned to the shore again, with a frown on his face.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo looked towards the lake, the rippled water surface, but there were countless ghosts of nothingness hidden below. The number was so overwhelming that even Enzo felt helpless.
"So many ghosts?" Enzo frowned.
The lake in front of you seems to be a gathering place for ghosts. There is a great formation of the dead hidden in the depths. Millions of ghosts are restrained here. It is unknown what orders were given to them.
"Is it to prevent people from going to the Black Peak?"
Enzo was a little confused. The lakeshore seemed to be far away from the black peak. It would be difficult for him to reach there without using the wings of shadow, so those seemingly weak ghosts became a problem.
There are too many ghosts in the lake. Even if Enzo is a third-level wizard, it will probably take at least a month to deal with them all.
"Hey! Human."
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded. Next to a big tree on the lakeshore, a gray-red toad was lying there, mouthing human words.
"Are you from outside?"
Enzo turned around, looked away, and asked doubtfully: "Toad?"
"It's really rude to stare at a lady like this." The gray-red toad was a little dissatisfied with Enzo and said, "If you want to go to the opposite mountain peak, then I advise you to take a detour."
"The ghosts in the lake have been hungry for too many years."
"Anyone who wants to pass above will be devoured by them and will have nothing when they finally reach the mountain."
"Then what should I do?" Enzo asked.
"You can reach the mountain peak by walking in this direction." The toad stood up, stretched out a webbed claw, pointed in one direction, and said, "But be careful, there are many monsters hidden near that mountain peak.
If you want to get the divine fire, you first need to pass the test!"
Enzo's eyes lit up, and he followed the direction of the toad's finger and found a road.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Enzo thanked him politely, and then walked in that direction. Following the path pointed out by the toad, he soon entered a forest. There was silence around him, and there were faint sounds of whispers.
"It's an outsider!"
"Human?"
"Hide quickly, don't be discovered by him."
The chaotic sounds came from his ears. Enzo's face was unmoved, but he secretly ordered in his heart to turn on the scanning function of the chip. In the forest on the right, he found a group of short monsters.
"This is...mushroom man?" Enzo stopped.
In the surrounding forest, there is a group of mushroom people hidden. They are short in stature, only less than half a meter tall. They have huge mushrooms on their heads and have human-like eyes and mouths. They look extremely funny.
"Oops, he looked over."
"Humans have discovered us!"
"Hide quickly, humans love to eat us."
After noticing Enzo's gaze, the mushroom men suddenly panicked, colored smoke emitted from their bodies, and then they burrowed into the soil one after another.
Colorful smoke spreads around.
"Alert! Toxic substances have been found and are being determined. The subject's mental and physical constitution are sufficient to withstand the poisonous fog and have not caused any effects."
There was an alarm from the chip in his mind, and Enzo raised his eyebrows slightly.
The physique and mental strength of a third-level wizard are enough to be immune to the poisonous mist of the mushroom man. This small creature, which is not even a first-level life form, cannot cause any harm to Enzo.
"What a pity." Enzo shook his head and moved on.
Those mushroom people should be a rare creature. If captured, some magic medicine research can be conducted. But at this time, the Killing Temple is open and the black mountain peak is in front of you, so fighting for the divine fire is the main thing.
Therefore, we can only let those mushroom people go.
In the lush forest, Enzo walked quickly, and Hershey, who had transformed into a little boy, followed behind him, feeling the atmosphere around him.
"It's calling me..." Suddenly, Hirsch murmured.
"Who?" Enzo was shocked. After entering the Temple of Killing, Hershey's state became a little strange. The memory in his mind seemed to be deviated, and his understanding of himself became distorted.
Hirsch looked blankly at the black peaks in the distance.
In vain, he quickened his pace and ran forward like crazy. Enzo was suddenly startled and quickly activated his mental brand.
But soon Enzo discovered that his spiritual connection with the Killing Crow was distorted by a strange force, and he was unable to forcibly control it. Hirsch let out a sharp scream, but still ran forward.
"The Changing Crow!"
Enzo immediately shouted, summoned Swain, and ordered him to transform into a very fast gale hawk, grab him and chase him forward.
So confusing!
In a moment, Enzo had chased out of the forest. In front of him was a black clearing. Hirsch was standing there blankly. There was a bridge at his feet, leading directly to the black mountain peak.
"What's going on, Hirsch?" Enzo stepped forward and asked.
"It's calling me!" Hirsch's eyes were blank, but his tone was extremely firm. He looked at the black mountain peak that seemed to be close at hand and took steps.
An iron chain bridge connects the plains to the mountains.
After stepping onto the iron bridge, he looked down and saw a bottomless abyss of nothingness. After hesitating for a second, Enzo followed. Although the black mountain peaks were full of weirdness, he could not give up this time.
Chance.
"No matter what lies ahead, be prepared!"
Enzo took a deep breath and turned on the chip scanning function. As a strange sound came, arms stretched out in vain from the abyss on both sides of the chain bridge, grabbing at Hershey.
"Shadow Corps!"
Enzo did not hesitate and directly used the technique of the Shadow Corps. Hundreds of shadow soldiers appeared on the bridge, surrounding Hirsch in a protective posture, and waved their shadow blades in the face of the incoming arms.
