From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

The area ahead where the temperature rises is a Gobi Desert in the Liuchuan area, with little vegetation and exposed sandstone everywhere.

This Gobi Desert is not large, with a diameter of less than two kilometers, and there is a sandstone hill in the middle.

Lu Heng and his party were about to enter the central area of ​​the Gobi Desert.

Su Muyu suddenly pointed to the front and said in a hurried tone: "Flare! A flare was fired over there."

Because they were in the fog, the visibility during the day was less than ten meters, and the thickness of the fog could reach three hundred meters.

Therefore, the psychics without perception skills could not see the flare in the fog.

Looking up at the sky, even a ten-meter-high branch could not be seen.

Therefore, only the perceiver could see the flare.

Su Muyu had been letting the scout eagle fly outside the fog for reconnaissance, so he found the flare at the first time.

In this foggy valley, there could be no other psychics except Jian Qing's team.

Therefore, the appearance of the flare must be a distress signal sent by the team led by Jian Qing.

According to the initial agreement, the number of flares fired represents the degree of danger.

"Let's go! Let's go. How many flares did they fire?" Lu Heng immediately led the team to rush in the direction of the flares.

"One, only one."

Su Muyu answered while controlling the scout eagle to fly over first to investigate the situation.

Since the location of the flare was not far away, the scout eagle could arrive in more than ten seconds after using the acceleration skill.

After seeing the situation clearly, Su Muyu followed the team to support and report the situation:

"Jian Qing's team encountered a large flame creature. This creature was ten meters tall, with flames all over its body. The flames it spewed exploded, and the ground was full of sparks."

When Lu Heng heard the description, he had already thought of a possibility in his mind, and then he accelerated to the front of the sandstone hill, and saw Jian Qing's team fighting with a flame creature, fighting and retreating.

This flame creature was surprisingly a fire demon.

Just as Su Muyu described, this fire demon was ten meters tall, burning with blazing flames. The fireballs he threw hit the ground and exploded, splashing countless pieces of fire.

Some people in Jian Qing's team had been burned by the flames, and the team was protecting the wounded and retreating.

Judging from the size and flame intensity, this fire demon was over level 28.

The flames on such a high level of fire demons were thousands of degrees high, and organic creatures could not get close to it within three meters.

As long as you stay within three meters of it for three seconds, you will be burned by the high temperature.

Not only that, the fireballs shot by the fire demons are as powerful as high-explosive incendiary bombs. If you are touched by the exploding flames, you will be severely burned.

Encountering such a terrible abyss monster in the sixth month of the abyss, you may be wiped out.

Jian Qing has been manipulating the strong wind to resist the fireball attack.

Every time the fireballs sent by the fire demons are blown off by the tornado, the team is not hit directly by the fireballs.

Otherwise, if they were hit by a fireball, at least half of them would die.

Lu Heng rushed forward and released a move [Thunder Prison] to seal the Flame Demon.

However, the Flame Demon is of fire attribute and has a high resistance to lightning. Lightning bombardment cannot cause effective damage to it, and can only temporarily trap it.

Chen Zihang, Wu Weibing and others immediately stepped forward to help the wounded in Jian Qing's team retreat.

With support, Jian Qing's pressure was reduced a lot.

"What's the situation?" Lu Heng asked hurriedly.

"We encountered it when we were exploring the sandstone hills ahead. Someone was injured as soon as we met. Our car was also blown up by the fireball, so we could only send flares for help." Jian Qing quickly recounted what happened.

"Is there a crack in the sandstone hill?" Lu Heng asked hurriedly.

"I don't know yet. We were attacked by this thing before we had time to explore it." Jian Qing answered while thinking about countermeasures.

Some people in her team were already injured. The most reasonable decision now is to withdraw from the Gobi Desert immediately and treat the wounded.

What to do next can be considered later.

"Let's withdraw first. After resting, we'll deal with this thing." Jian Qing proposed this decision.

"Did you only encounter this fire demon after you got here?" Lu Heng asked hurriedly.

"Yes, no other abyss creatures were found." Jian Qing nodded.

"Then we have to deal with this thing as soon as possible, and then destroy the rift point, otherwise other abyss creatures will gather here."

Abyss creatures are not beasts without wisdom. Once humans want to destroy the rift point, the abyss creatures in the mist will immediately gather to guard the rift point.

Along the way, we have encountered several abyss creatures.

Apart from other things, if there are a few more abyss aliens, plus this fire demon, the two teams combined will not be able to withstand it, not to mention that there are already wounded people in Jian Qing's team.

If you don't know this information, the best strategy is indeed to withdraw from the Gobi Desert, rest well, and then slowly plan.

However, the longer the time drags on, the more abyss creatures will gather.

So if you want to deal with the fire demon in front of you, you must act now, otherwise there will be no chance.

After hearing Lu Heng's explanation, Jian Qing thought for a while and chose to believe it.

She looked back and saw that the wounded in the team had evacuated to a safe distance, so she asked, "What are you going to do?"

While the two were discussing, the Flame Demon had already broken free from the lightning cage and attacked Lu Heng, who was closest to him.

Because the Flame Demon was burning with raging flames, the flames would evaporate the fog.

Therefore, the fog around the Flame Demon would be much thinner, and the visibility could reach more than 20 meters.

When Lu Heng saw the fireball shot by the Flame Demon, he immediately dodged to the left and quickly took countermeasures.

On the way over, the team passed a pool of water, which was the upstream source of the stream.

The most direct and effective strategy to deal with fire is water.

Lu Heng pointed to the direction behind him and said, "There is a pool of water over there. Lead the Flame Demon there first."

Jian Qing understood what he meant as soon as she heard it.

When they came over, they also passed that pool of water.

After the two teams entered the fog, they explored separately.

The dividing line is the stream in the middle of the valley.

And the upstream source of the stream is the pool of water, and the name marked on the map is Qinglongtan.

The stream goes upstream and ends at Qinglongtan.

Therefore, from Qinglongtan, going north to the Gobi area, there is no stream, which is the end point of the two teams' exploration.

After the tracked vehicle of Lu Heng's team encountered the fungal mat, it broke down.

So in the next few days, they walked on foot, so the speed was slower.

Jian Qing's team drove all the way to the Gobi Desert, so they arrived first and were attacked by the Flame Demon.

Now, Lu Heng suggested that the Flame Demon be led to the Qinglong Lake, and Jian Qing agreed immediately, riding the wind and rushing towards the Qinglong Lake.

The Flame Demon chased for a kilometer, but failed to catch up, and was ready to give up the pursuit.

Jian Qing saw it, turned around and raised her assault rifle, and fired a burst of bullets at it.

The Flame Demon was angry again and continued to chase, all the way to the Qinglong Lake.

As the name suggests, this pool of water is blue and bottomless.

Although the Flame Demon was led to the Qinglong Lake, it is impossible for the Flame Demon to take the initiative to get into the pool.

For others, there may be no way, but for Feng Hou Jian Qing, just using a little wind power can solve this problem.

Lu Heng made this decision because he knew Jian Qing's ability.

Without being reminded, Jian Qing rushed to the front of the Qinglong Lake, jumped up, and jumped directly into the Qinglong Lake.

She fell towards the water, but did not sink. Instead, she controlled the wind and hovered on the water.

She looked up to the sky and shouted, the source energy in her body surged, and a tornado appeared around her.

The tornado rolled up the pool water, forming a huge water column with a diameter of three meters, rising into the sky, like a water dragon.

The water dragon rushed to the air 30 meters, then turned downward and rushed towards the fire demon.

Puff! Chi Chi Chi...

The water dragon and the fire demon collided, and a hissing sound of extinguishing the flames burst out.

The flames on the fire demon were extinguished by a small half, revealing a charred entity like coal.

However, after the water dragon was used up, the extinguished flames on the fire demon would slowly burn again.

Jian Qing continued to increase the intensity of the source energy output, rolled up a larger water dragon, and continued to attack.

After three water dragons went down, the flames on the fire demon were extinguished by more than half, and it turned into a huge dark red monster.

The members of the two teams arrived, and Guard Wu unloaded the machine gun from the mechanical tiger's back, placed it on the ground and fired.

The dense shells hit the dark red body of the Flame Demon, breaking into pieces of coal-like fragments, and punching fist-sized craters on the Flame Demon's body.

The 20mm machine gun hit the Flame Demon's body, but it only made a fist-sized crater.

The strength of this Flame Demon's body is comparable to steel.

20mm may not seem big, only as wide as a thumb, but the power of the machine gun is very strong.

If it were a human, a 20mm bullet would instantly tear the body into pieces of flesh and blood, and it would be impossible to put it together.

Such a fierce sweep, hitting the Flame Demon, can only make a fist-sized crater.

For a ten-meter-tall Flame Demon, a fist-sized crater is no different from tickling.

...

Jian Qing continued to control the water dragon to attack the Flame Demon to prevent its flames from regenerating.

After the flames went out, the heat emitted from the Flame Demon dropped rapidly.

If the flames were still burning fiercely, if you were to get within three meters of it, you would have to endure the scorching heat of several thousand degrees.

Therefore, if you encounter a Flame Demon, melee psychics have no way to deal with it, and you can't even get close to it.

Now, the flames on the Flame Demon have gone out, the temperature has dropped, and you can finally get close.

Lu Heng seized the opportunity, leaped high with a forward charge, and used the Zhenyue style to chop out the source skill [Fissure Slash].

The three-meter-long sword light fell, splitting the Flame Demon's body in the middle.

The Flame Demon's coal-like charred body split from the middle to the chest, and suddenly a ball of blazing fire burst out.

Bang!

A violent explosion enveloped a radius of twenty meters.

This is the Flame Demon's lava core explosion, a self-destruct skill, and its power is terrifying.

With this lava core explosion skill, even a powerful melee psychic who really blew up the Flame Demon will be taken away by this self-destruct skill.

Fortunately, Lu Heng knew this skill from the beginning, so at the moment when the lava core exploded, he activated [Shadow Travel] and instantly hid in the shadows to avoid the explosion.

Bang!

The violent explosion shook the earth, as if there was an earthquake.

Jian Qing was still controlling the water dragon to prepare for the attack, and suddenly saw Lu Heng take action, and then the Flame Demon exploded. It happened too suddenly.

Moreover, the explosion covered a radius of 20 meters, and the flames of the explosion engulfed everything, even the ground was blown out into a deep pit.

And Lu Heng was also engulfed by the explosion.

Jian Qing saw this scene, with a panic expression on her face, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Lu Heng!"

Not only her, but also Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, Chen Zihang and others who came to support saw this horrible explosion.

Su Muyu knew Lu Heng's ability very well and knew that Lu Heng had the skills to avoid the explosion, but she was still very worried. She immediately controlled the reconnaissance eagle to rush into the aftermath of the explosion to confirm Lu Heng's safety.

The next moment.

A shadow wrapped in shadow energy jumped out of the aftermath of the explosion, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the battle was not over.

After the Flame Demon exploded, its body split into three pieces.

In the flames of the explosion, the three bodies burned again and turned into three Flame Demons.

However, after splitting into three, the size was much smaller, only four meters high.

Even so, it was not easy to deal with.

This is the terrifying thing about the Flame Demon. Even if you have the ability to kill it, it will split into smaller Flame Demons after the self-explosion.

Seeing that three Flame Demons had split, Lu Heng distinguished from his experience that among these three Flame Demons, two were level 22 and one was slightly larger and was level 23.

Since Jian Qing and Lu Heng were working together for the first time, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Lu Heng coming out of the explosion.

Lu Heng shouted loudly: "Continue! Water dragon attack!"

Jian Qing came back to her senses and hurriedly controlled the tornado to continue to roll up the pool water to attack the split fire demon.

Split into three level 22 and level 23 fire demons, it is not as difficult to deal with as before.

The two teams began to attack together.

After the water dragon extinguished the flames, the fire demon's flame attack was greatly reduced.

The mechanical tiger unloaded the machine gun and supplies, let out a metallic roar, and used the B-level skill [Break the City] to rush towards one of the fire demons.

With the blessing of the skill, the mechanical tiger charged straight ahead, like a mad iron bull, and crashed into the fire demon.

Bang!

The violent collision directly smashed the body of the fire demon.

This level 22 fire demon exploded again and shattered into three level 17 small fire demons.

The mechanical tiger was also blasted by the explosion of the lava core, and the liquid metal shell was deformed, and the entire tiger head was blown off.

However, the mechanical tiger struggled on the ground for a few times, and the liquid metal shell recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and continued to pounce on another fire demon.

The psychics who saw the mechanical tiger fighting for the first time showed surprised expressions when they saw this scene.

The combat power of this mechanical tiger is much stronger than they expected.

Moreover, this kind of desperate fighting style is something that humans cannot imitate.

Even if someone has learned the skill [Break the City], they dare not hit the fire demon with their head.

Humans dare not, but mechanical tigers dare. As long as the mechanical core is not damaged, it doesn’t matter what shape the outer layer of liquid metal is blown into.

However, smashing a level 22 fire demon is also the limit.

If it is a level 28 fire demon, a fireball will hit it, and the metal shell of the mechanical tiger will be burned into molten iron.

After the Flame Demon split for the second time, it became a small Flame Demon of level 17. It was no longer a threat to the supernatural warriors of the two teams and could be cleaned up with just a few skills.

The battle lasted for half an hour until the Flame Demon was broken into a Level 1 Flame Demon Spirit. After cleaning it up, the battle was completely over.

Every time the Flame Demon was blown up, the participating warriors could absorb demonic energy.

Lu Heng killed the Level 28 Flame Demon at the beginning and directly gained 800 points of demonic energy.

The number of small Flame Demons that split from the Flame Demon later added up to hundreds, and a great deal of demonic energy was extracted.

The energy absorbed by Lu Heng formed an energy tide in his body, breaking through the level limit again.

[Source energy level increased to Level 26, all attributes +3, agility attribute additional +0.9]

After the upgrade, the five-dimensional attributes increased to: strength 58, agility 74, constitution 58, spirit 59, perception 58.

Su Muyu also rose to Level 25, with both spirit and perception reaching 60 points.
