Chapter 248 Part of the Demonic Plot: The Sacrifice Ritual
Dark green flames filled the sky and earth, completely obscuring the view.
In this sea of fire, nothing could be discerned except for the flames.
Ding Genghong swallowed hard. "It must be a top-tier demon who has made a move."
His face was extremely pale; his group defense skills were rapidly weakening, while the damage from the flames far exceeded his defensive capabilities.
Clenching his teeth, Ding Genghong did his best to maintain his defense.
However, this defense lasted only five seconds before the shield shattered. Flames poured down like a tidal wave, but Ding Genghong, his longsword planted firmly in the ground, supported him as he roared, "Damage absorbed!"
The light burst forth once more, enveloping all the team members.
Then, he roared again: "Ultimate Defense!" These two skills worked together to transfer all the damage from the flames to him alone.
"You guys, run!" Ding Genghong said through gritted teeth.
He needs to maintain these two skills, especially the first one, "Damage Take-Off," which prevents him from moving.
But his teammates could; as long as they could escape, they would have a chance to survive.
However, Ding Genghong had some regrets.
Unfortunately, he had just been promoted to colonel when he was about to face death.
At this critical moment, he thought of Jiang Chen.
I wonder how Jiang Chen is doing now.
Ding Genghong persevered, and when he looked back, none of his teammates had moved.
The power of the flames was so great that he had to withstand the damage from eighteen people at the same time.
Even the most extreme defenses cannot last long.
Ten seconds later, the ultimate defense reached its end, and the light gradually dimmed.
Just then, a low shout rang out.
Another protective shield opened.
Another knight in the group smiled and said, "Captain, have you forgotten that I'm a knight too?"
"I really didn't remember," Ding Genghong chuckled. "Good brother."
He had no fear of death.
The entire team showed no fear.
If you're afraid of death, you won't come to the ancient battlefield.
The shield shattered after three seconds. Then, just like Ding Genghong, he used "Damage Absorption" and "Ultimate Defense".
However, he persisted for a shorter period of time.
The knight's skills have all gone into cooldown.
The flames struck again.
With a hum, holy light illuminated the earth, pushed aside the flames, and created a patch of sky.
Yi Ning's Holy Spirit Unicorn had somehow appeared beside them and deployed a protective shield.
The Holy Unicorn's shield possesses a holy aura and is an adversary of the power of the abyss.
Although it wasn't high-level, its defensive capabilities were actually better than Ding Genghong's.
Yi Ning slowly walked out of the flames.
Her skeletal armor gleamed, completely blocking the abyssal fire. Her appearance gave everyone hope once more.
If Yi Ning is not dead, then Jiang Chen should be fine too.
Sure enough, a few seconds later Jiang Chen also emerged from the flames.
He raised his hand and gently pressed it down on Ding Genghong and the others.
Skeletal armor appeared on their bodies.
Ding Genghong whispered, "It must be a top-tier demon of level 70 or higher who has made a move."
Jiang Chen shook his head, "It wasn't a top-tier demon, it was the Succubus Queen who did it."
Jiang Chen saw the Succubus Queen appear just now.
I know it was all its doing.
Ding Genghong was horrified. "A succubus queen? How could this be..."
Jiang Chen said, "She wanted to kill me. She failed last time, so this time she tried a different method."
“I almost dragged you into this.” Ding Genghong quickly shook his head. “There’s no such thing as dragging you into this. We humans and the Abyss are sworn enemies.”
Jiang Chen hummed in agreement and quietly watched the flames change.
Do you think you can burn yourself to death with just the fire of the abyss?
Impossible.
The Succubus Queen must have known that she had other methods.
The Holy Spirit Unicorn's defenses reached their limit, and Yi Ning immediately put the Holy Spirit Unicorn away.
The skeletal armor gleamed in the flames, incredibly sturdy, and blocked all damage.
Everyone was incredibly surprised, never expecting this defensive skill to be so powerful.
Standing amidst the raging flames of the abyss, he remained completely unharmed.
Most importantly, this skill can be used on other people.
too strong.
Jiang Chen's skills so far are all so powerful, almost perfect.
The fire of the abyss burned for a full two minutes before finally changing.
The flames spun like a tornado.
Jiang Chen saw a large number of corpses being swept up by flames, flying in the air, and turning into ashes.
Although the body was burned, the life essence within it remained.
The life essence of demons and dragons, combined with the fire of the abyss.
Yi Ning's pretty face changed drastically, "Oh no, the Succubus King is summoning the Abyss Fire Spirit!"
"This is a secret technique of the Abyss. By sacrificing a large number of lives, a fire spirit can be summoned from the fire of the Abyss."
Jiang Chen asked, "Is it very strong?"
Yi Ning shook her head. "It's hard to say. Whether the fire spirit is strong or not depends on whether the sacrificed lives are enough and strong enough." "But no matter what, the abyssal flames are stronger than a lord-level demon of the same level."
Even Ding Genghong was seeing abyssal flames for the first time; he never imagined such a thing existed.
It is even stronger than a lord-level demon.
This doesn't mean it's roughly equivalent to a lord-level boss.
They usually don't dare to touch this kind of BOSS unless they gather a full team, at least 40 or even 50 people are needed to fight it.
They might not even be able to beat them.
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "So, it might be stronger than the Crimson Moon Demon."
Yi Ning gritted her teeth and forcefully hummed in agreement, "Very likely, after all, the sacrifices were all made from demons and dragons of level 60 or higher, and this Abyss Fire Spirit is at least level 60."
Level 60, at least the same strength as a Lord-level demon. Jiang Chen wasn't afraid; instead, he became interested. "The Abyss Fire Spirit is so strong, what kind of loot will it drop?"
Yi Ning clearly has a deep understanding of this.
She comes from a good family and has a great deal of knowledge.
"It is said that fire gems will drop, which can increase resistance to fire elements when used."
Fire Gem? That sounds somewhat similar to Poison Gem.
And their functions are almost the same.
Jiang Chen blurted out, "Can the Flame Gem master fire-type skills?"
Yi Ning immediately shook her head, "How could that be?"
Jiang Chen was slightly disappointed. "It seems I'm still not as good as the Earth-Touching Dragon God!"
"I don't know whether it's stronger or weaker, compared to the Earth-Touching Dragon God."
Jiang Chen watched as the abyssal flames rapidly took shape, his eyes already blazing with fighting spirit.
Even if you can't learn new skills, just increasing fire resistance is a great treasure.
You can never have too much of something this good.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ding Genghong and the others were in turmoil.
Ding Genghong couldn't help but ask, "Commander Jiang Chen, did you kill the Earth Dragon God?"
Jiang Chen said, "No need to call me 'sir,' you're a colonel now. I just killed him a few days ago; he was a pretty good boss."
Jiang Chen meant that the dropped items were quite good; not only did they include leg meat, but they also allowed him to learn a new skill.
Without this new skill, the Red Moon Demon level alone would be very troublesome.
Ding Genghong was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
It could even kill the Earth Dragon God... This combat power far exceeded his expectations.
Ding Genghong couldn't help but ask again, "Recently, two world-class BOSSes have been killed in succession. Were they both killed by you?"
Jiang Chen hummed in agreement. "There's also the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen. It only appears after you kill the Soul-Devouring Insect King. It's a decent boss, but unfortunately, there's no meat."
Ding Genghong didn't want to say anything more.
Two world bosses! He's been here for years and hasn't been able to kill a single one.
Becoming a god-like general was his dream as a soldier.
Therefore, killing the world boss is the knight's dream for him.
At this moment, Jiang Chen became his idol.
The Abyss Fire Spirit has finally taken full shape.
It stands about five meters tall, its entire body engulfed in raging flames. It looks like a fire elemental spirit, yet it is so pure.
Having absorbed the life essence of the dragon race, the Abyss Fire Spirit possesses dragon-like characteristics in its appearance.
Those demons and dragons who were not killed by Jiang Chen were burned to death in a sacrifice by the Succubus King.
A captivating laugh rang out from the air from the Succubus Queen, “Little Jiang Chen, please enjoy my hospitality.”
"If you survive this time, I will definitely invite you to my palace next time and let you taste my abyssal delicacies."
Amidst giggles, the Succubus King slowly vanished and disappeared.
The Abyss Fire Spirit awakened, unleashing a deafening roar.
Flames shot into the sky and spread out, forming a huge fire barrier.
The barrier enveloped Jiang Chen and the others.
This is a battle to the death!
