“Are you kidding me!?” Lin Li broke out in a cold sweat. The Ore Devouring Beast, with the strength of at least level-15, was turned into ashes in an instant. This could almost rival the power of a legendary spell. Lin Li felt his legs turn weak when he recalled pa.s.sing through the same colorful spectrum earlier on.

Lin Li stood there with cold sweat in his palms, desperately trying to recall what had happened in that moment… The roar of the Ore Devouring Beast, the burning fireball, the colorful spectrum…

Oh, yes, yes—and the Torrent of Elements Ring that was dazzling with red light!

At the thought of this, Lin Li raised his hand in confusion and examined the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand with a strange look. The dark red light still flickered faintly; the scorching heat seemed to have been solidified…

That was right; it was the Torrent of Elements Ring!

Lin Li remembered it distinctly—when he pa.s.sed through the colorful spectrum, the red light on the Torrent of Elements Ring seemed to gleam all of a sudden. At that moment, the colorful glow was like a s.h.i.+eld; it not only firmly protected himself, but also Sean and Argus, who were beside him.

Lin Li scratched his head with a sluggish look on his face. There was probably more to the secrets of the Torrent of Elements Ring than he had imagined.

He could still remember the Lich once said that this was the ring of Osric, the Butcher, back in the Shadowglen. Later, in order to unravel the secret of the ring, Lin Li specially searched for relevant information in the Omniscient Tower, including Osric’s life and the ma.s.sacre that shocked Anril. However, there was never a single word on or description of the ring.

To think that this ring had revealed its miraculous nature once again in the Fire Plume Ridge.

All of them had pa.s.sed through the colorful spectrum. The Ore Devouring Beast had turned into a ma.s.s of ashes; the three living men had come out unscathed. The signs were so obvious that even a fool could see it was definitely related to the Torrent of Elements Ring.

As for what the relations.h.i.+p was, Lin Li was at a loss. All of this was really too bizarre; all the doubts were intertwined in a mess. It was almost impossible to even gather up the threads, let alone to uncover the secrets one by one.

“Sh*t!” Just as Lin Li was puzzling over it, he suddenly realized a serious problem. “This h.e.l.l of a place. How do we go back?”

The colorful light ahead was still s.h.i.+ning, just like a mirage that clearly reflected everything in the cave. But, with the Ore Devouring Beast serving as a warning, he dared not approach this spectrum of death even if he was given a hundred times more courage. That was where a level-15 magical beast was reduced to ashes in a flash. Although he did not encounter any problem previously, who could guarantee that it would be equally safe should he do it again?

It was not a big deal making a joke. But joking with one’s life seemed to be a little too dumb…

Lin Li hesitated for a moment, but at last shook his head resignedly. He looked around in the hopes of finding another way.

It was then that he had the time to take a good look at this place.

This was a totally different world, surrounded by green gra.s.slands and bright wildflowers, and there was a beautiful forest farther away. When Lin Li lifted his eyes, he could see a few rabbits hopping out of the woods. All of this complemented a peaceful and harmonious scene.

In addition to this harmony and tranquility, flames lit up the sky.

The green gra.s.sland and the burning fire in the sky were two completely different scenes, but they were so harmoniously blended together that instead of adding a hint of cruelty to this gra.s.sland, it unexpectedly added some gorgeous colors to the surroundings.

Lin Li scratched his head. He roughly remembered that he had seen a palace in winding flame through the colorful spectrum earlier on in the cave. For a moment, Lin Li was puzzled in spite of himself. Was the flame in the distance the place where the palace was situated?

“Hey! It’s daybreak. You two guys are still asleep?” Lin Li deliberated for a moment, and decided to go and have a look first. But before that, he had to wake up the two guys who were lying on the ground…

“h.e.l.l…” Argus staggered up from the gra.s.s. He looked up at the distant woods, then at the sky-high fire, and finally his eyes stopped on Lin Li…

All of this made Argus weep without tears. He felt that no one could be more unlucky than himself in this Fire Plume Ridge. It should be an easy and joyful a.s.sa.s.sination, but he had implicated himself in it in the end. A level-16 Archmage was beaten into disfigurement by a level-10 warrior, and then he had lost most of his mana. He was probably worse off than a Magic Shooter at present…

h.e.l.l, h.e.l.l, h.e.l.l, h.e.l.l. This is living h.e.l.l! Argus was depressed mad at the thought of this.

However, he dared not utter a sound at all. The two fellows before him did not know what sympathy was, especially the one who had died and came back to life. s.h.i.+vers ran down his spine at the thought of how merciless they were. Argus could sense it clearly when the bolt was plunged into him—if possible, that fellow would not hesitate to plunge the bolt straight into his heart.

The reason why they kept his life was merely because he had some value…

“Shut up.” Lin Li had no time to be concerned with how Argus thought of him. After shooting a glare at the fellow, he proceeded to wake Sean up from the ground. “Sean, watch after this fellow. Don’t let him go anywhere.”

“Yes!” Sean nodded, and carried out Lin Li’s order meticulously.

It didn’t matter that he was methodistic, but Argus nearly lost his mind…

For the honest Sean, there was only one way to watch after Argus—that was to hold him firmly and carry him like a bag of goods on his shoulder. Only in this way could he not run around freely. It would not take much for Sean, who was nearly two meters tall and stronger than a magical beast, but Argus couldn’t even shed a tear if he wanted.

A level-16 Archmage was carried over the shoulders like a bag of goods—how was he going to stand before others in the future?

The three of them… Or it should be, two of them and a bag of goods walked towards the place on fire.

As he pa.s.sed through the green gra.s.sland, Lin Li could clearly feel that as he got closer to the fire, the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand was getting hotter and hotter; it actually felt as if it were roasted by fire at the end.

This peculiar feeling made Lin Li all the more confused…
