1725 Hellflame Firestorm (2/2)
”More of them are coming from below!” Yu Shishi noticed the leaves below them wriggling, too.
Bai Hongfei looked down and saw parasitic worms climbing up the branches. It felt like they were going to devour them at any second!
”I'll handle them!” Bai Hongfei quickly cast an Advanced Fire Spell.
Six Hellish Flames lunged at the Parasitic Leaf Porcupines that were surging up the branches like a tide. The powerful flames set the parasitic worms ablaze and turned them into scorched balls. However, they continued to climb toward the invaders recklessly.
Bai Hongfei's Hellish Flames kept pouring down. The flames had almost turned the layer they were at into a blazing sea of fire, but the numbers of the Parasitic Leaf Porcupines showed no sign of falling. They continued to pounce at the invaders like sharp and poisonous fangs, spinning at an insane speed. Bai Hongfei began to panic a little. He had no choice but to back away with Yu Shishi.
”We can't get any closer!” Bai Hongfei said.
The Parasitic Leaf Porcupines were like a bunch of death knights raised by the Giant Purple Linden. They would launch suicide attacks at any invaders trying to steal the Sacred Linden Leaves. They did not have an outstanding defense, but they were abusing their speed and poisonous spikes to drive away the enemy, or end their lives in mutual destruction!
”Your flames are effective against them, but they aren't concentrated enough!” Zhang Xiaohou said.
”I'm aware of that,” Bai Hongfei said.
”Keep using the same spell!” Zhang Xiaohou said.
Bai Hongfei did not ask Zhang Xiaohou what his plan was. The truth was, he did not dare to stop Casting. The parasitic worms only knew to attack invaders mindlessly. These creatures were even trickier to deal with than the undead in some ways!
The Hellish Flames began pouring down again. This time, Bai Hongfei used his magic equipment to increase the temperature of the flames. The Parasitic Leaf Porcupines would burn to ashes if they were exposed to the flames for more than three seconds!
Unfortunately, the Hellish Flames could not last for long!
”Wind, absorb!”
Zhang Xiaohou was still surrounded by the Parasitic Leaf Porcupines. However, these parasitic worms had no chance of hurting him with his outstanding control of the wind.
Zhang Xiaohou had slightly modified the traits of his Wind Magic, scattering a dozen Wind Seals in the flames. The seals would be triggered once the Hellish Flames were at their strongest, turning them into gusts of wind!
A dozen gusts of wind formed, wielding a special absorbing force that swiftly drew in the flames nearby. They soon turned into burning gusts of wind!
”Wind, merge!”
Zhang Xiaohou forcibly merged the gusts of wind into one.
The winds were now blowing in the same direction. Zhang Xiaohou had obviously done something like this before. The gusts of wind had turned into a shocking firestorm!
The winds had absorbed the flames, and the firestorm was full of the Hellish Flames, making them even deadlier!
”Die!”
Zhang Xiaohou shoved his hands forward. The Hellflame Firestorm swept forward, igniting both the Devil Tree Spikes and the Parasitic Leaf Porcupines along the way before burning them into ashes.
The hurricane left nothing but destruction along its path. Zhang Xiaohou turned to Bai Hongfei and Yu Shishi, ”Quick, this is our chance. The firestorm will last for some time!”
Bai Hongfei and Yu Shishi, who had been stunned by the spectacular sight, immediately caught up to Zhang Xiaohou. The path was clear thanks to the Hellish Firestorm. The Parasitic Leaf Porcupines kept showing up in numbers even after they saw how destructive the Hellflame Firestorm was. They were mindlessly pouncing at the firestorm instead of waiting for it to pass!
The temperature of the Hellish Flames had significantly increased under the concentrating effect of the wind. The Parasitic Leaf Porcupines immediately turned into ashes as soon as they were close to the flames. They had no chance of escaping the power of the firestorm that was drawing them in!
The Hellflame Firestorm was like a moving cremation machine, sucking everything nearby into it. Countless Parasitic Leaf Porcupines died to it. Zhang Xiaohou, Bai Hongfei, and Yu Shishi cleared a path to the Sacred Linden Leaves.
The firestorm lasted for quite a while. The Hellish Flames had already dissipated, but the hurricane winds continued to travel into the distance.
”Do we just pluck the leaves?” Zhang Xiaohou asked. The Sacred Linden Leaves were less than ten meters away from him now!
