I don’t know what Mr. Rui said loudly, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter. I took a closer look and found that I was in a cave hall. This cave hall was slightly smaller than the one just now. In the cave hall
There is a niche on one side of the cave wall, and a dim yellow oil lamp is burning quietly in the niche.
It turns out that Mr. Rui just recited a spell about fire control. I couldn't help but be a little surprised. His fire control skills have really reached the level of proficiency. He can actually light up an oil lamp several meters away just by reciting a spell.
.
With the help of the dim light, I discovered that there was an iron cage about two meters long and one meter high placed at the innermost side of the cave hall. There was a dark thing inside the iron cage, and the thing seemed to be tied with an iron chain.
It was on, but because the light was too dark, I couldn’t see clearly what it was.
Mr. Rui seemed a little afraid of the iron cage and did not dare to get close. He shouted at the iron cage: "Hey!"
The black figure in the iron cage suddenly raised its head, and I couldn't help but be shocked. That dark thing turned out to be a person!
Mr. Rui pushed hard on my back and said, "Don't you want to see this old guy? Come over!"
I was slightly startled. It turned out that this person was the Fire Protector I wanted to see. I didn't expect that he would be locked here by Mr. Rui. I slowly approached the iron cage. The closer I got, the better I could see this person's appearance.
It was clear, and the clearer I saw it, the more shocked I became. Because he looked so ferocious, I really couldn't connect him with the most legendary fire protector among witchers.
His hands, feet and neck were tied with chains. He was wearing a black robe, but it was already in tatters. His hair and beard had almost reached his waist. His face was dark, and there was an obvious scar on his forehead. It looked like
He is like a savage.
He glared at me with a pair of blood-red eyes, opened his mouth slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, and let out a beast-like growl from his throat. It seemed that if there were no iron chains holding him down, he would attack at any time.
It's like I'm rushing towards you.
Around the iron cage, there are many animal bone remains scattered. Some animal bones still have bright red minced meat on them, and there are obvious signs of being chewed. Presumably these animal bones are from people who were locked in the iron cage.
What is left after gnawing, that is to say, he has been eating raw meat.
I walked slowly to his side, and he raised his head and growled at me, as if to warn me.
I didn't feel scared at all, so I squatted down next to the iron cage and asked him calmly: "Are you the Fire Protector?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, he suddenly opened his big mouth and let out a deafening roar at me.
It seems that he is a little delirious. Perhaps he has been locked up for too long and has been eating raw meat all year round, so he has lost the ability to communicate with people and has become no different from a wild beast.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart. I didn’t expect that one of the five guardians of the demon hunter would now be reduced to such a state. The so-called being unable to survive or die is nothing more than that. And the culprit of all this is
The culprit is Mr. Rui who is standing behind me, and he was also the most trusted disciple of Protector Huo!
I turned around angrily and shouted at Mr. Rui: "How could you harm your master like this! You are still not a fucking human!"
"Hmph! Why did I harm him? I knew he was a demon hunter, but not only did I not kill him, but I also gave him meat every meal. This was all out of consideration for the master-disciple relationship between me and him."
"You can actually say it. If you trap him here and make him less human and less like a ghost, you might as well kill him."
"Hey, how could I be willing to kill my master! Not only will I not kill him, but I will also let him have a big meal today. He hasn't eaten human flesh for a long time."
When Second Master Rui said this, I couldn't help but be shocked and thought to myself: Could it be that this beast wants to feed me as food to the Fire Protector!?
This beast was so heartless that I suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing to my forehead. I didn't know where the strength came from in an instant. I shouted loudly and tried hard to break the hemp rope tied to my body, which was about the thickness of an adult's thumb.
Mr. Rui obviously didn't expect that I could break free. He couldn't help but be shocked. He was stunned for a moment and quickly turned to the owl monster and said: "Catch him quickly!"
The owl monster immediately spread out a pair of giant wings, screamed and rushed towards me. The owl monster was huge, but I was not afraid at all. Instead of avoiding it, I roared and rushed towards the owl monster.
The cave hall is so big, and in a blink of an eye, I rushed to the owl monster. The owl monster stretched out a pair of thick hands to grab my arm, and I used all my strength to punch him in the chest.
.
The moment the owl monster's hand just touched my arm, my fist had already hit its chest. There was a "click" sound, like the sound of bones breaking, and then its body flew upside down.
It went out for more than ten feet and fell heavily to the ground. It didn't even struggle much, and after trembling a few times, it stopped moving.
Mr. Rui was completely shocked. I didn't expect that the strength of my punch was so strong. I could actually knock the huge owl monster away with one punch. And it seemed that it had been beaten by me.
Solved.
But I didn't want to think too much and turned my attention to Mr. Rui again.
Mr. Rui seemed a little flustered. He suddenly crossed his hands on his chest and chanted a spell loudly. Immediately, a beam of fire came directly towards me. I quickly rolled on the spot and hid aside.
I picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him without leaning to either side. The stone just hit his forehead, causing him to scream "Ah" in pain. I was about to rush forward and hit him on the forehead.
He subdued him and muttered something again. The dim oil lamp in the cave hall immediately went out, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness.
This guy wants to escape under the cover of a black screen! An idea immediately came to my mind, I must not let him escape, because my dragon teeth and stone tablets are in his hands.
I immediately chased him based on my memory. However, since I couldn't see anything, I quickly hit a wall. Chasing him in such an environment was tantamount to a blind man trying to figure out an elephant. However, after all, I am a descendant of the Dragon Vein, and I have inhaled it before.
Through the energy of dragon soul, dragon is a divine creature that can see at night, so as long as I concentrate and activate my spiritual consciousness, I can actually see in the complete darkness.
So I tried my best to calm down my mind and secretly activate my spiritual consciousness. However, after all, my cultivation level has not reached the level of refining qi and becoming a god. I still cannot freely use the power of the dragon soul in my body. After trying for a while, I finally managed to use it.
The spiritual sense clearly saw the surrounding situation, but at this time, there was no trace of Mr. Rui. The cave was connected in all directions, and he had already escaped. I was thinking about where to pursue, and suddenly he came from the cave hall.
There was another deafening roar.
It was the Fire Protector who was shouting. I thought about it, I couldn't leave him here alone, I had to rescue him first, so I returned to the cave hall.
With the help of my spiritual consciousness, I walked to the iron cage and squatted down.
I stared at the ferocious-looking savage in front of me for a while, then asked, "Are you really the senior fire protector?"
However, he just growled at me and didn't answer.
It seemed that he really didn't know how to speak anymore. I shook my head helplessly, and I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in my heart. With his current appearance, should I save him or shouldn't I save him? If not,
He is bound to die, but if he is rescued, it will be troublesome.
I was thinking about it in my mind when he suddenly opened his mouth and spoke: "Who are you?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be surprised. I didn't expect that he could not only speak, but also speak very clearly.
I was stunned for a while before I realized that he was actually just pretending to be crazy in front of Mr. Rui! I quickly answered: "My name is Mo Shiyu, and I am also a demon hunter! I was careless and was captured by that guy here.
I just realized that he has been keeping you trapped here, senior. Just now I thought you..."
Before I could finish my words, the Fire Protector interrupted me: "Just now I saw that you seemed to have exploded with the power of the dragon soul. Could it be that you are the descendant of the dragon vein?"
I didn't expect that he could see my identity, so I couldn't help but be a little surprised. I nodded and said, "The Fire Protector really has an extraordinary eye."
The Fire Protector smiled bitterly and said: "If I really had extraordinary eyesight, how could I not have noticed that the beast was actually a shadow cultist, and I would not have ended up like this!"
Seeing that it aroused his sadness, I quickly changed the topic and said, "Senior, don't talk so much. I'll save you from here first."
As I was talking, I looked for the lock of the iron cage, but the Fire Protector said: "No need, I am already half-dead. Even if you save me, it will be worse than death. The reason why I have survived till now is for
Waiting for you to come here."
"Wait for me?" I was slightly startled, "How did you know I would definitely come?"
"Haha, everything is God's will! You are the heir of the dragon vein, this is your destiny."
I calmed down and asked, "Then why do you have to wait for me to come?"
"I have to pass on the dragon energy of fire to you."
"Dragon Qi of Fire? What is it?"
The Fire Protector replied: "Between heaven and earth there are five elements of dragon energy: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the dragon energy of fire is one of them."
"What!? You mean the Five Elements Dragon Qi!?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard the Five Elements Dragon Qi. According to the records on the bone slips I got in the Qin Mausoleum, the way to master the Dragon Scroll is to use the Five Elements Dragon Qi.
Qi inspired the divine dragon potential in my body. As for where the Five Elements Dragon Qi came from, I have never known, but I never expected that the Fire Protector would now mention the Five Elements Dragon Qi.
The Fire Protector was a little surprised by my reaction: "It seems that you already know the existence of the Five Elements Dragon Qi."
I nodded.
