Final priesthood

The azure shuttle refracted its gem-like luster in the sunlight, like a graceful deep-sea fish, hovering quietly in the gray-white open space.

The cabin door of the shuttle opened, and a slender and tall figure appeared.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he walked towards the visitor.

The nano-arms on his body automatically changed form, from a casual outfit of thin down and jeans to a black, close-fitting one-piece combat suit.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

The handsome young man standing at the door of the shuttle cabin greeted Lu Yuan with a smile.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly at him and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be the one to pick me up."

"I didn't expect that the person I was asked to pick up was actually you."

The young man replied with a shrug.

Lan Chen.

The person coming is Lan Chen.

It was the flying bear that Lu Yuan encountered for the first time when he was walking like an elephant god. He was ordered by Yu Wentong to hide in the dark and plunder the formation for him.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan gave him a note - "The boy who wants to take credit".

Lu Yuan really didn't expect that after getting Yu Wentong's permission to enter the "Mountain of Embers" secret realm, this would be the person who came to pick him up.

Isn't there anyone else under Hitomi-sama?

It seems that there really isn’t

Lu Yuan followed Lan Chen onto his shuttle.

The shuttle took off slowly, and Lan Chen sat down on the soft sofa and greeted Lu Yuan: "Sit wherever you want, don't be restrained, just treat yourself as your own home. It's a long way."

Lan Chen has an out-of-the-box personality and is relatively informal.

Lu Yuan was not polite to him. He said "hmm" and then found a place to sit down.

After sitting down, I occasionally caught a glimpse of the flying bear logo on Lan Chen's left chest, and unexpectedly discovered that an extra pair of wings appeared on the back of the little golden bear with wings.

"Did you break through?"

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.

His mental energy dispersed slightly and he felt the aura on Lan Chen's body.

It was discovered that his spiritual power was indeed much stronger and more condensed than before. According to Huang Xiong's internal classification standards, he had reached the second level of spiritual light.

"Yes, it has been stuck for many years, and it's time for a breakthrough..."

Lan Chen replied with emotion, but there was not much joy on his face, and his expression was rather complicated.

Lu Yuan felt his fluctuating emotions, his heart moved slightly, and he uttered one word: "Mountain of Embers?!"

Lan Chen glanced at him and nodded.

"right.

It was during this exploration of Ember Mountain that I made a breakthrough..."

"But I don't think you feel happy."

"If you'd been through what I was going through, you wouldn't be happy about the breakthrough.."

Lan Chen sighed and spoke, his eyes full of loneliness and complexity.

"Have you read the list of No. 8's martyrs, where many people died in that battle?

If it weren't for that time

My name will probably appear on there too. "

Lu Yuan looked slightly solemn and asked: "Is the Mountain of Embers really that dangerous?"

Lan Chen raised his head to look at him, "What do you think of the legendary secret realm?

Many times more dangerous than you think.

There are real blood descendants of the Phoenix within the Mountain of Embers.”

"Phoenix blood descendant?"

This was the first time Lu Yuan heard this word and he sat upright.

At this time, the shuttle just buzzed into the clouds, and a large amount of white mist flowed outside the window beside the two of them.

"Um.

It is more powerful and difficult to deal with than ordinary acolytes of gods. Because it has inherited some of the characteristics of the phoenix, it is extremely difficult to kill.

They have multiplied in the Ember Mountain for a long time and are very aggressive towards outsiders like us..."

Lan Chen said a few words briefly, and then added seriously: "But the most dangerous place in the Ember Mountain is not these indigenous blood descendants, but the terrifying and taboo places where the lingering power of the Phoenix remains.

Sometimes it looks like an ordinary pit from the outside, but when you step into it, the next second, magma flames that can melt earth-level mechas will suddenly erupt from the bottom.

Do you know what material the earth-level mecha is made of? "

Lu Yuan remained silent, feeling a trace of fear from Lan Chen's words.

These emotions slowly reflected the outline of the Mountain of Embers in his mind.

Lu Yuan felt that he had underestimated the words "legendary secret realm" before.

Maybe it's because Xiang Mysterious Realm is known as sub-legendary, and he didn't feel much pressure after passing it all the way.

But if you think about it carefully, a total of three Supernova members have gone to the Elephant Mystery Realm. The Mountain of Embers has been opened before, and it also caused joint actions by all the world's major extraordinary organizations.

So far, four light supernovae have died.

It can be seen that the difference in the degree of danger between the two is indeed very large, very large.

"Honestly, I'm wondering why Mr. Hitomi allowed you to go?"

Lan Chen smiled bitterly and said: "In that kind of place, the SS level is just like cannon fodder, and the SSS level is also walking on thin ice. It must have at least a third level of combat power to be truly qualified to explore and harvest to a certain extent.

But the risk of falling is also high.

What is your current strength assessment level? "

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't been evaluated for a long time."

Lan Chen thought he just didn't want to say anything because things like combat power were relatively private, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, I still have some judgment about Lu Yuan's strength in my heart.

But Lu Yuan really doesn't know his current strength level.

If we take Xi Lin, who was beaten violently by him in the Mysterious Realm of the Elephant, as a unit, if he activates [Three Flowers] under normal circumstances, he can probably beat him at a 50-50 level.

If you switch to the Mingwang stance, you can crush the opponent in different ways.

If the [Demon] form is turned on.

I can’t even tell how far it is.

He has too many methods that can increase his combat power. If several methods are combined, his combat power will increase exponentially.

The potential of multi-professional panel stacking was gradually developed, and sometimes the strength soared so much that even Lu Yuan himself felt shocked.

"This time, the Mountain of Embers has gathered a large number of masters on the combat power rankings. It is just a good opportunity to understand my current strength position..."

Lu Yuan thought, but Lan Chen seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation at this moment.

He took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and poured it into his mouth one by one while facing the window with a rather melancholy look in his eyes.

The road was far away and it was not easy to disturb him, so he lay down on his seat and casually browsed the forum to pass the boring time.

The entrance to the Ember Mountain secret realm is on the other side of the planet. Even if they take a shuttle, it will take more than ten hours.

Lu Yuan was casually scrolling through posts when he suddenly received a series of messages.

When I opened it, I found that it was from Lan Chen.

He turned around in surprise.

Lan Chen, who was sitting by the window opposite, raised his chin at him and said, "I'll send you some top-secret information within the exploration team. Remember not to spread it out."

Lu Yuan's eyes moved and he quickly clicked on the message sent by Lan Chen to check.

A map of the secret realm of Ember Mountain. Most of the areas on it are black.

Only a small area in the lower left corner is lit.

However, it is such a small area with at least forty red circles densely drawn on it.

Each red circle represents what Lan Chen just said - a "forbidden place".

Then there are also some activity areas of the indigenous people in the secret realm, which are also marked.

Lu Yuan glanced at it, memorized the entire map in his mind, and then looked down.

There are several videos at the back.

The first video shows a large number of people surrounding a red fruit the size of a thumb.

The fruit looks like an olive, but is red all over, like iron that has been burned until it is transparent.

The temperature is also frighteningly high.

The exploration team used a black box to pack it, but within two seconds the box was burned through by the fruit. When it fell to the ground, it directly ignited a large area of ​​turf. The astonishing heat wave caused everyone around to step back.

I changed several holding props but could not hold the fruit. In the end, I wrapped it in an oval leaf as big as a palm and took it away successfully.

"Legendary material?!"

Lu Yuan's first reaction after watching the video was whether this fruit was a legendary material.

Looking at this amazing vision, it seems that there is a high probability that it is.

Unfortunately, he didn't know which organization had taken it away, so it was almost impossible for him to get it.

The second video is equally astonishing and even more exaggerated than the first.

The shooting angle of the video is from a very far away position. God knows how many times the camera device has been zoomed in, and only a place like a crater can be seen in the distance.

In the middle surrounded by countless red magma, there was a golden grass growing with flames on its leaves.

"This is definitely legendary!"

Lu Yuan felt confident the moment he saw the grass.

This golden grass looks really extraordinary, even more strange than the previous fruit.

At a glance, words like "myth" and "legend" can be thought of.

"No wonder once the secret realm of Ember Mountain was opened, all the extraordinary organizations tried their best to explore it, and they did not hesitate to lose so many powerful people.

This secret realm is simply an unexplored mythical treasure, filled with incredible wonders!

Maybe there really is a secret to the phoenix’s immortality hidden here.”

When Lu Yuanguang watched the video, he felt impatient and eager. You can imagine how those who saw these strange objects with their own eyes must feel.

Lan Chen said he was scared, but now he still dares to go in and continue exploring, which is enough to prove that there is indeed a great opportunity in the Mountain of Embers that can allow people to achieve Nirvana and be reborn!

"call--"

Lu Yuan let out a breath to calm down his agitated mood.

Then click on the last video sent by Lan Chen to view it.

As soon as the video was clicked, Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with a gorgeous fiery red.

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, and finally he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out: "The legendary phoenix?!"

"have no idea."

Lan Chen's voice came to his ears, and he didn't seem surprised at all by Lu Yuan's reaction.

"It can only be said to be suspicious. After all, no one has ever seen a real phoenix. It is a mythical creature that only exists in legends."

Lu Yuan said nothing, just stared at the video in front of him.

The video was very blurry, probably affected by certain evil energy fluctuations.

But I can still barely see that in the sky captured in the video, a large bird covered in orange flames is flying gracefully and slowly forward.

After the flaming bird went away, figures suddenly appeared in the video, chasing the flaming bird.

The video ends abruptly.

"The results of it?"

Lu Yuan was still unfinished, and immediately turned around and asked Lan Chen, "Did you find this creature that looked like a phoenix later?"

Lan Chen shook his head, "Of course not.

Not only that, many people died.

On the most recent list of martyrs, Kang Jiancheng, ranked fifty-third on the supernova rankings, died in this Phoenix incident. "

When Lan Chen said this, he paused for a moment, then frowned and said: "Actually, this creature that looks like a phoenix has appeared several times, and every time it caused the death of a large number of strong men.

Isn't it said that seeing a phoenix represents good luck?

I suspect that this is not a phoenix at all, but an evil creature that is good at disguising itself and will bring disaster and misfortune wherever it goes."
