As the girl left, the barrier that enveloped the few people became darker and darker, as if it would be shattered in the next second.
The barrier was spherical in shape, isolating several people from the hot magma beneath them. There is no land within a hundred miles. Once the barrier is broken, the only thing waiting for them is the fate of being burned to death.
Even with the protection of the barrier, the high temperature still invades several people. Although the temperature is not high enough to harm cultivators like them, it can make people feel more or less anxious.
Of course, Artoris and others' anxiety may not be caused by the temperature.
Knowing what everyone was worried about, Kuran, the only calm man, spoke out to comfort him: "This barrier is made of secret treasures. As long as the operator's power is not exhausted, the barrier can last forever. So you don't have to worry about it. So worried." As he said that, Kuran spread his palms.
Looking at the fluorescent stone in Kuran's hand, everyone remembered what the girl gave to Kuran when she left.
Artoris stared at Kuran. This was not the first time Artoris had heard the term divine power. Her One Qi Transformation into Three Purities and Shangqing Sword required the consumption of divine power. However, since she did not have divine power, This skill has been unavailable.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but I'm afraid it's difficult for me now... ahem..." Although the elixir has played a certain role, the inner trauma is obviously not so easy to recover from.
Seeing this, Deken hurriedly helped the weak Kuran to a corner and sat down. Kuran's injury has not recovered, and now he still has to maintain the stability of the barrier. So the task of paying attention to the surrounding trends fell on Dawson.
After looking around, Dawson said: "I think we should all rest for a while. Instead of worrying here, it is better to stay in good condition to cope with the next danger."
After listening to Dawson's comforting words, Artoris's ups and downs heart finally calmed down a little. Sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing his eyes, the scene just now appeared in front of his eyes. Everything about the Golden Crow, the girl, and this world is so unreal. This kind of power that destroys the world is actually in the hands of every living being. This is really...
"terrible!"
Artoris opened her eyes and the corners of her mouth twitched. Looking at the blackened bow handle in her hand, Artolis was lost in thought for a long time. The fragments of the sword blade had long since fallen into the magma and were lost. The only remaining bow handle had been burned beyond recognition by the flames, making it difficult to even recast it. After feeling distressed for a while, Artolis finally recovered.
After putting the bow handle away, Artolis noticed the people around her. Kuran was leaning in the corner with his eyes closed to rest. He was the most seriously injured among the others, and he was also responsible for supporting the barrier. Now I need to use the power of medicine to adjust my condition. Dawson and Deken are always observing the changes around them. If there is a slight change, they will immediately make a response. At a critical moment of life and death, they have to stay vigilant. This is a truth that all adventurers understand. When you are not sure that you are completely out of danger, you cannot relax at all.
Compared with these three people, the one who behaves most abnormally is Gawain.
"What are you doing?" Artolis saw Gawain squatting on the ground, his eyes constantly wandering in the magma territory below him. Seeing this scene, Artolis was very curious.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I just don't know why. I always feel like there's something down there that's worth getting me excited about."
"What excites you?" Artolis followed Gawain's gaze, but unfortunately, apart from the flowing magma, she couldn't see anything strange. Artoris is puzzled by Gawain's behavior. From time to time tongues of flame appeared from the lava pool not far away. Seeing the tongues of flame, Artolis pouted.
"Maybe I'm just looking at the flames. It's so boring." The Shadow of Light had just been scrapped, and Artolis's mood was not much better.
Artoris's complaint was whispered, but it still reached Gawain's ears. Seeing Gawain's body trembling, both of them reacted almost at the same time.
Yes, flame!
…
A sudden strange sound came from the sky, waking up several people present. Hearing the strange noise, everyone raised their heads.
A pitch-black fireball broke through the red clouds, fell from the sky and violently hit the magma sea. The dense fire cloud in the sky was torn apart in the next second. Looking towards the crack, one can see the giant formation that is rapidly disintegrating above the nine heavens.
After a while, nine red suns descended from the gap in the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the heaven and earth were once again enveloped in vermilion light.
The next moment, the scarlet divine bird swooped down from the sky and landed between the nine suns. As the cry sounded, the magma on the ground suddenly boiled, and tongues of fire that were ten feet high sprang out from the bottom of the magma, like flying birds and dragons. This scene was like a hell on earth.
The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, so Dawson also increased the output of frost magic, but the speed of frost condensation still could not match the speed of its melting. Soon beads of sweat broke out on Dawson's forehead. As the only magician present, Dawson waved his staff, and for a moment the ground in the barrier was covered with a layer of frost, which caused the surrounding temperature to drop.
The body of the Golden Crow in the sky twisted, and in the blink of an eye it turned into the same scene as the other nine suns.
"This day is not that day"
Artoris in the barrier below looked at the sky, her mind going blank at this time.
The transformation of the Golden Crow was not over yet. Under everyone's shocked eyes, the red sun transformed by the Golden Crow changed again. I saw the red sun explode in the next second, and in the firelight that filled the sky, a woman wearing a flame-colored dress and holding a vermilion feather fan slowly walked out of the void.
"Why...is it a woman?" Looking at the red sun that turned into a woman, Artolis was surprised and a question flashed in her mind.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, someone immediately responded to her, and the replyer was the Wolf King.
"This is the transformation of an alien beast." Different from the usual dialogue, the Wolf King in the contract space directly transmitted his voice into Atoris's mind. Unlike the ability of the Tris weapon spirit, this kind of spiritual dialogue is limited to the master and the contracted beast.
"Alien beast transformed? What is that?"
"..."
After listening to the Wolf King's description, Artoris gained some insights. When the orcs reach the level of gods, they can freely transform between human form and animal form. The so-called beast transformation refers to the process of one of the beasts transforming into a human form.
This is not a shocking secret. Artolis believes that everyone present except Gawain should be very aware of this.
"So, the big sister in the sky is not a human being, but the one who transformed from the golden crow?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Wolf King spat, and then seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Hey, is that strange bird called the Golden Crow? By the way, have you seen it before?"
"No, I guess."
"..."
