Chapter 628: Flaming Hell
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xue Wei felt as if he had finally stumbled across a very important secret. He looked around the area that looked so different from any of the other areas and could not help but frown in contemplation.
"There is something completely wrong here." He finally felt that from the very first moment they stepped into these zones, something had been wrong.
At first, their confusion had been looking for numerous explanations. They had been finding the ones causing the many deaths, but not the ones who died.
They also found out that these areas were the teleportation arrays to different worlds, but this also contradicted with the sheer amount of corpses everywhere.
"These are not only teleportation areas, but also butchering grounds." Xue Wei narrowed his eyes as he looked around.
"I can imagine that the person who created these teleportation arrays has a need for the many people who died. So far, many of the areas have been absorbing flesh and blood or the soul power, but what is the ultimate purpose to gather so much evil in one place?"
Xue Wei was not expecting anyone to answer; he was merely stating the many thoughts that were in his mind and trying to get them straightened out.
"There has to be a reason. These people have to be moved here for the purpose of slaughtering them, much like how beasts are brought to the slaughterhouse.
"But when the beasts are being slaughtered, it is for a special purpose, so these deaths have to be caused for some reason as well. Why would the people who created this place send people here to slaughter them?"
Xue Wei had the feeling as if he was grasping for a certain thread of reason. It was just outside his reach, but so close that he could sense it.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Wei tried to calm his mind. Just as he closed his eyes and eased his breath, he felt a fireball that suddenly launched itself towards them, and landed onto the ground with an overwhelming explosion that caused a resounding boom.
The entire group became alert in an instant and looked around their surroundings, only to realize that multiple fireballs were coming towards them.
The fireballs came down like rain from the sky, but their size was many times bigger than a raindrop, and each time they came into contact with something, an explosion would follow, destroying all things in sight.
These fireballs were different from the other enemies that they had met up until now in the various zones. Although many of the previous enemies had been fierce, it had been possible to defeat them. These flames, however, were not like a plant or a beast that could be killed or destroyed.
"Try to make them detonate in the air!" Bai Tianyi was shouting as loudly as he could, but among the noise caused by the exploding fireballs, his words were almost swallowed and hard to hear.
Even so, the others understood his intentions, and upon witnessing how he conjured a great sword more than double his own size out of spiritual energy and began to chop down all the fireballs in front of him with sword Qi, the others quickly followed his example and attacked the fireballs.
"They do not detonate one another." Ling Xiao's complaints could not be heard by the others, but they had all realized that even if they made one of the fireballs explode in the air, their explosion did not cause a domino effect, causing them to keep draining their energy with the purpose of making all these flames burn away.
"We have to find another way to deal with these fires." Xue Wei was yelling at the top of his lungs to ensure that they could understand what he said. Unlike the other zones where they had been able to survive by struggling against the hordes that attacked them and needed to be chopped down one after another, these flames were never-ending.
The group quickly converged and stood in a circle, their backs facing each other so that they could protect one another.
"We do not need to attack the fireballs that are far away, let us focus solely on the ones that will arrive at a distance where it can harm us. Also, bring out some of the inscriptions that create shields.
"Although I am no longer an inscription master, I made quite a few of these before, and they can help us now!"
Xue Wei had quickly found the most suitable way to deal with their current predicament.
They could not retreat, and advancing was the only option. However, during the chaotic appearance of the fireballs, their energy had been rapidly drained, and now they needed to regain some energy, even though the flames in the air did not seem to diminish.
"While we walk behind these shields, try to see how much of your energy you can restore. I can't sense much heaven and earth essence in the surroundings, so make sure to take a few pills to boost your recovery, if needed."
Although Xue Wei was the youngest in their group, his natural leadership made situations such as these much more survivable, and the whole group had thrown out one inscription each, so their group had been covered in a transparent shield that blocked the flames that came crashing down upon them.
With the explanation from Xue Wei, they all placed a few pills in their mouths and began to rotate their energy to absorb and restore their energy as quickly as possible.
The flames did not seem to have any intentions of stopping, so their group understood that they would need every simple ounce of energy they possessed to cross this flaming hell.
