A caravan and a convoy full of goods passed through the desolate land and suddenly stopped.
They felt the tremors of the earth and the faint heat in the air.
"What's the sound?" The owner of the caravan stood on a high place and looked into the distance.
"Boom!" The sound came again, and they finally discovered what it was.
In the distance, two shadows slowly appeared on the horizon.
It was a hill-like monster, fighting.
The metal giant and the flame monster started a battle on the earth. The flames turned into a storm and swept across all directions, and the earth was burned to black.
And any movement of the metal giant will cause the earth to roar, a roll, a trample, or a chasing long jump, and the ground will be overwhelmed.
The place he passed was full of big holes.
"It's... it's... it's a monster!" When the caravan guard saw what it was, his teeth were chattering with fear.
"Leave quickly and go over there!" The caravan master standing high up was well-informed and recognized that these should be two extremely powerful cursed seal priests, and he immediately gave the order.
"It takes several days of detour over there." Someone asked a question.
"Isn't it troublesome to save your life?" the owner of the caravan shouted loudly.
The caravan passing by in the distance saw them and fled as if they had seen the god of plague.
The flame monster and the metal giant seemed not to notice them at all, as they were immersed in the fight.
"call!"
The flame monster spit out flames and violent winds from its mouth, and the violent fire storm was accompanied by the crackling sound of thunderbolts, which was the sound of red-hot rocks exploding on the ground.
But the metal giant didn't know what it was made of, and the flames and high temperatures that were enough to melt stones burned its body without even turning red.
"Boom!"
There are circular ritual patterns on the fists of the metal giant, and every bombardment carries the power of the ritual totem.
This is the ritual totem technique that Haru first came up with. It can engrave the power of the ritual on the body. Although it is time-consuming to use and requires sacrifice and chanting, it is far less powerful than the instant magic spell of the cursed seal spirit.
But it can work wonders at certain times and against some special enemies.
Such as right now.
You can see the illusory body of the flame monster evaporating under this fist.
"Elena!"
"I don't want to kill you, don't force me."
The fire demon giant spit out a human voice, it was the fire demon Haru.
The voice of Abyss Knight Elena came from the metal giant. The voice of this Sandian student was full of anger: "Stop pretending, Haru!"
"You even killed the teacher. How can a person like you still talk about friendship and family ties?"
Fire Demon Haru was completely angered: "I'll tell you again."
"I didn't kill the teacher, I didn't kill him!"
"I don't!"
"I don't!"
While roaring and roaring, Haru lost control of his emotions again.
After he gave up his Sanye body, he always found it difficult to control himself and suppress his emotions.
Fire Demon Haru's body suddenly burst into golden light, and lines of red gold crawled up his body.
"Boom buzz!"
The violent explosion overturned hundreds of meters of ground.
After everything calmed down, Haru turned into gas again and floated to the sky.
However, the fire element in his body has also been exhausted to the limit. It will not be long before he needs to fall down again, find sacrifices and perform rituals to make up for the fire element in his body.
Just like the three-leaf people need food.
Abyss Knight Elena seized on his weakness and pursued him again and again. Along the way, the opponent often came to kill him before his ritual could succeed.
The flames subsided, leaving only a horrifying pit and charred earth.
This time, the metal giant's body was cracked one after another, and the armor on its chest peeled off, revealing the upper body of the Abyss Knight Elena.
Elena was obviously hurt. She finally understood that Haru was indeed holding back, and she also understood why such a powerful teacher was defeated in front of Haru.
She looked at Haru floating at low altitude and knew that she could not catch up with him.
Elena's voice came from the earth and fell into Haru's ears in the sky.
"When I break through the fourth level, I will come to you again."
"Haru!"
"You will never want to live in peace in this life. Don't think that it is over. You can use the power given to you by the teacher to enjoy a long life and a high status?"
"No!"
"impossible!"
Haru looked down at the earth from a high place, watching the desolate metal giant raise its head and roar.
He suddenly remembered the scene from the past, when he was still on the Island of Mist.
Although he is the earliest student of teacher Sandian, he is actually the youngest one.
And Elena is the oldest. She always secretly brings some small things from the sea to herself, just like her sister.
Haru murmured: "Elena!"
The metal giant gave up chasing Haru, but the fire demon Haru was not out of the crisis.
Because on this land, not only Elena, the Knight of the Abyss, is looking for him, but the priests of the Nine Ritual Temples are also looking for Haru everywhere.
It's just that Haru has always looked down upon these temple priests. The several priests who came to Haru all wanted to kill the fire demon they made and enslave them in the bottle of fire demon forever.
Haru is most worried.
It's Lan En, the Priest of Food.
He could only continue to run away, to a place where even Lan En couldn't catch him.
He fled to a cliff, his transparent body showing a slight shadow in the wind.
Only if you look closely can you vaguely see a human figure.
Haru looked into the distance, and he suddenly didn't know where to go.
The world is so big, but it seems that there is no place for him anymore.
He took out a bone whistle.
"Hehehehehe~"
"Hmm hum hum hum ~"
The sound was like the wind blowing through the stone forest, with a desolation.
This is the tune that his teacher Sandian played on a bone xun in the Temple of the Sky when he was a child.
The sound gradually became smaller and scattered in the wind.
The monster like the wind said: "What have I done!"
"What have I done?"
Haru raised his hand to touch his face, but suddenly realized that he didn't even have a body anymore.
He became a monster who lived a long life but was never recognized by others.
He also finally understood that strength and life are not everything a person has.
Life is not as simple as him doing experiments and studying on the island. His life is composed of teachers and many people, and now he has lost them all.
Haru finished replenishing the fire element, turned around and left.
"Since this world cannot tolerate me, then I will build a kingdom of monsters."——
He passed through the volcanoes of the former Kingdom of Huosen, walked out of the border of Hinsey, and reached an inaccessible place.
He came to the depths of a dark canyon.
There is a hot spring here that exudes a strong sulfur smell.
Following the hot spring, he found an underground river here.
Haru diverted the water from the underground river and submerged the entire canyon. At this time, the dark depths of the canyon had completely turned into a swamp.
An illusory shadow like the wind floated above the swamp. The shadow took out a glass bottle from his body for a long time.
Haru took out the bottle of fire demon.
More terrifying shadows wandered around in the flask, and from time to time they squeezed out ferocious and roaring faces from the glass wall, as if they had infinite resentment and anger that they wanted to release.
The bottle of the fire demon is different from before. It is carved with dense ritual patterns like hair. This is the fire ritual array created by Haru himself.
As long as you open it and offer sacrifices, you can continuously transform fire elements out.
The fire element can be used to nourish the beings inside, or to supplement Haru's own strength.
And the most important thing is the fire demon inside the bottle.
The fire demon is not a cursed spirit, nor is it a simple spirit body, but a kind of life.
Since it is life, it can give birth to offspring.
The conditions for a fire demon to give birth to offspring require firstly the fire demon's demonic fire seeds, and secondly, a place filled with a large amount of fire elements.
"Go for it!"
Haru released the fire demon, and a dozen powerful fire demons floated in the air, surrendering to Haru.
These fire demons include the temple priests that Haru killed before, and some who later chased Haru and were killed.
Haru threw the bottle of fire demon into the quagmire. The blood of the fire demon melted into the glass body exuded a faint light, and it was regarded as the seed of demon fire.
In an instant, streaks of light spread along the ground, covering the entire swamp in the blink of an eye.
"ceremony!"
"start up!"
Thick fire energy spread from the mire, filling this dark and damp place.
Haru flew up to the cliff of the canyon and used the Tao Ritual Array to create a huge castle.
The tall castle hung alone, and Haru sat alone on the stone seat.
It was getting dark outside, and the moon slowly climbed up into the clouds.
The fire demon Haru sat motionless, as if asleep.
A few days later.
In the dark swamp, changes finally occurred.
Groups of fire gas were entangled together, and a silver light flashed from inside.
Finally, it seemed to come alive and began to shuttle consciously through the swamp.
It also discovered that existence like it in the swamp was not unique, and there were other existences similar to it floating around, devouring the power of fire in this vast swamp.
When they gradually devoured enough fire elements, they finally discovered the castle on the cliff.
There.
It seemed like something was calling them.
These gaseous beings composed of fire crawled out and flew up to the castle on the top of the cliff.
In front of the gate of the castle, several third-level fire demons were inhabited in pillar-like torches, illuminating the entire castle and cliffs as soon as they emerged.
They passed through the castle gate and walked inside.
In the darkness, an extremely powerful and terrifying existence opened its eyes.
Its eyes were two flames, looking at these little fire demons.
"Here we come!" The monster on the stone throne spoke, speaking the language of the three-leaf people.
"Huhu!" These little fire demons were not afraid of Haru. Instead, they surrounded Haru affectionately, as if they were guarding their king.
The fire demon Haru stood up and walked down from the height.
"children!"
"You will become the fire demon clan, which is also the beginning of this race."
The little fire demons surrounded him, as if they were asking him questions.
Haru laughed: "I am not a Sanye person."
"I am your ancestor, Fire Demon Haru."
These little fire demons were ignited and finally looked like flame demons.
They flew into the lamps in the castle, settled in them and turned into flames.
Haru also discovered that they were born with the blood of myth and were a special kind of extraordinary life.
They have the same wisdom and power as the Trileaf people, but they have completely different forms and powers. Their wisdom and power are naturally limited to controlling the element of fire.
Because their mythical blood is closely combined with other things, which is the power of the cursed spirit and the magical brand.
This power was also inherited into the little fire demon through his bloodline.
These little fire demons have no human form at all. They look like small flames, with only some elementary intelligence like wild beasts.
But when they become stronger and the blood of wisdom and power in their bodies further transforms.
