#568 - Dragon Wizard's Caution
The little firefish trembled as it answered, "It's too terrifying! Those people are full of murderous intent, even more frightening than you. I fled here to escape them. You wouldn't want to eat me too, would you?"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could I harm you? You fire spirits possess extraordinary power within this lava. I need your help to set up a formation to resist those invaders.
Once I drive them away, I will surely grant you the rewards you deserve. But the situation is urgent now, everything needs to be rebuilt, and I need you to act immediately."
Upon hearing this, the little firefish was filled with anger, flames rising. It quickly responded, "Alright! I will gather the other fire spirits and follow your command to jointly protect our lava world!"
With that said, it transformed into a ball of blazing flames and instantly disappeared into the lava.
Fire spirits have a unique way of communicating with each other. Soon after, hundreds of fire spirits, each with different shapes and strange appearances, gathered here.
Although they had different appearances, they all shared one thing in common: they could not live without the nourishment of this lava.
This is also why the underground lava world is difficult to communicate with the upper world.
Under Li Chengfeng's command, these fire spirits quickly dispersed to various formation nodes, preparing to face the upcoming battle.
Although they cannot leave the lava, they possess considerable power within it and will become an important force in resisting foreign enemies.
As Li Chengfeng's layout gradually improved, a battle to defend their home was about to unfold in this fiery underground world.
Li Chengfeng looked solemn and said to the gathered fire spirits, "Listen carefully, the underground lava world is facing an unprecedented crisis.
A group of invaders from another world, they are burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Our compatriots have already suffered heavy losses.
Can you tolerate such atrocities? Are you willing to fight alongside me to protect our home?"
The little firefish was the first to step forward, its eyes flashing with angry flames: "We will never give in! We will make them pay the price and completely destroy them! I will use their ashes to pave my bed and lie on it every day to let them know our anger!"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng laughed loudly: "Well said! In that case, I will lead you to fight these invaders to the death.
Moreover, I am not fighting alone. I have also brought powerful helpers."
A fire spirit resembling a fire sheep asked in confusion, "Brother Long, where are the helpers you mentioned? We don't see them."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, mysteriously, "Of course, I can't let you see them in advance. This is a tactic, only by being unexpected can you win.
You guys still need to read more books and learn strategies."
As he spoke, he gently waved his hand, and countless fire vortexes appeared out of thin air, quickly teleporting the fire spirits to various key positions.
What he set up was a complex formation called the 'Great Fire Spirit Formation'.
This formation seemed ordinary, but in reality, it contained a universe within. It was interwoven with countless fire killing formations, integrating teleportation, isolation, sniping, and beheading. It was bizarre and unpredictable, and its maze-like structure made it difficult for people to distinguish directions once they were trapped.
After completing all of this, Li Chengfeng flashed, as if merging into the flames, and disappeared instantly.
At the same time, in another area hundreds of miles away, Dragon Wizard and Xie Mei were leading their Qisha squad, quietly approaching their target.
Dragon Wizard's eyes were sharp, and his tone was full of determination: "This time, we will give Li Chengfeng a profound lesson.
He relies on his unparalleled wisdom, we will let him know that even the God of Writing can make mistakes.
We will use our schemes to kill him here and let him understand that the consequences of offending the Dragon Clan are unbearable for him!"
Xie Mei looked sinister and said with gritted teeth: "When I catch Li Chengfeng, I will definitely kill him with my own hands.
My six clones were all killed by him. I didn't expect our first surprise attack plan to fail like this."
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao did not take it seriously and smiled: "That's what makes it interesting. If the other party is a fool, it would be boring for me to fight him.
Only such a person is worthy of being my opponent. This time, he never dreamed that we would sneak into this place from under the lava, right?"
"That's true," Xie Mei nodded, but then worriedly said, "But I can't guarantee that Li Chengfeng, that dog thief, can associate this with the clues of my clone."
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao stared at him intently: "Could it be that your clone will not listen to your command and betray our information?"
Xie Mei clenched his teeth and replied, "I'm not sure either. After all, one of my six clones has merged with the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast Jiuyin, which even I can hardly fully control.
He is arrogant and acts illogically, believing that bloodlines are supreme and invincible. It's really a headache."
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao sighed: "This is my negligence. I should have arranged it in advance so that your clone could not reveal the purpose of this trip.
Now that I hear what you said, I feel uneasy. Let's withdraw from here."
After careful deduction, he always felt something was wrong.
"What?" Xie Mei's eyes widened when he heard this, glaring at the wizard, "You said let us withdraw? You must know how much we paid to create this Bi Huo armor, how many resources!
We have now arrived at the edge of the extreme west, but you say to withdraw? Isn't this a waste of money and a humiliation? The demons are still laughing at us!"
The Supreme Elder of the Demon Clan, Huo Yu, was even more furious: "Dragon Wizard, what the hell are you doing?
Our Fire Demon Clan has contributed so many treasures of the Fire Clan this time, and even our eight people have been resisting the lava fire to pave the way for you. We are about to usher in victory, but you say to retreat!"
Everyone was unwilling to retreat, after all, that was the threshold of the extreme west. We had put in several years of effort, and we were about to reap the fruits of victory. How could we retreat just like that?
Dragon Wizard Wu Tao was truly a cunning old man. Not only was he not angry, but he said calmly, "I'm also thinking about everyone.
Dragon Wizards play the way of deduction. Although it's not as magical as the legendary 'rebirth from the ashes', but based on the Jiuying clone you just mentioned, I made a deduction, and my heart skipped a beat.
Jiuying, that's a ruthless character among the ancient beasts, domineering, disdainful of conspiracies, and acting entirely according to his own will.
We originally planned to come up with a 'secret crossing', quietly approaching Li Chengfeng and catching him off guard.
But Jiuying's character is afraid of a 'fair and upright', directly showing muscles, so that the opponent flees in the wind.
In this way, Li Chengfeng's cautious character will not retreat early, or set up a net? Wouldn't our little manpower be like sheep into a tiger's mouth, like your six clones?
But then again, this action was frustrated, also due to Jiuying's impulse and my negligence."
Xie Mei interjected: "Dragon Wizard, you think too highly of Li Chengfeng. He is, after all, a human being. How can he be compared with the Dragon Clan, let alone with a master of prophecy like you, Dragon Wizard?
Even if it's just a glimpse of the doorway, you can 'move a thousand pounds with four ounces'. Our chance to turn the tables is just around the corner!
I believe that we will soon find the key to breaking the game, like spring bamboo shoots breaking out of the soil, directly attacking the heart of the extreme west city, giving the enemy a big surprise!"
