Chapter 91: The Illusion of Fire There was an obvious burn mark on one of Shang Liyu's hands. She was covering her arm and looked in pain. The person opposite her was a man with dyed red hair."Now that you're here, don't you want to take action?" the man said to Shang Liyu. "I..." Shang Liyu's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around but did not stay for long. He turned around and left quickly. The people around were talking about this, and a moment later a mature woman came over with a team and asked about Shang Liyu's situation. Seeing this, Lin Jinghong thought about it and decided to go up. Although he was not familiar with the group, if the alumni encountered problems, saying a few more words would help save the situation. "Are you the Blue Star envoy to Jincheng? Hello, we are students of Shuixiu University and classmates with her." Lin Jinghong said after stepping forward to greet her. Shang Liyu was a little surprised by Lin Jinghong's appearance, but when Lin Jinghong pointed at her and said he was a classmate, she nodded slightly to show affirmation. "Students of Shuixiu University? There are a lot of people here recently, so try to avoid conflicts with others. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, it will be difficult to deal with and will affect your studies." The woman also looked rather indifferent as she spoke. Shang Liyu bowed his head deeply: "I'm sorry for causing trouble." "It's okay. We deal with conflicts like this a lot. Do you know the other person?" The woman comforted him a little, and then continued to handle the matter in a businesslike manner.
“Not familiar.” The woman asked a few questions and then let her go. She turned around and comforted some people affected by the explosion. After this incident, most of the people present just left after watching the fun. To be honest, there's nothing good to see. Shang Liyu followed An Ti and his group and prepared to go down the mountain. "Speaking of which, why would people from the Dream Realm come to this mountain?" Lin Jinghong suddenly asked. Everyone looked at him, and he continued, "On my way here, I saw that the locals here have long lost interest in the Skyfire. Even when asked by the Blue Star people, they were not interested. This mountain is also a 'lookout point' discovered by the Blue Star people. The locals nearby probably don't come here very often." Nie Hong said: "What if he is from another place and follows the flow of people from Blue Star to come here to take a look?" "Why did you have a conflict?" Anti was very direct. He turned around and asked the unknown Shang Liyu directly. Shang Liyu raised his head, still dumbfounded: "I don't know either. He suddenly called me and attacked me after a few words. Although I do have a familiar feeling, I don't remember him." "Senior, are you here to play during the May Day holiday as well?" Nie Hong asked when she heard that. "I heard about the skyfire before and wanted to come and see it, but I only found the time during the May Day holiday." Shang Liyu affirmed. "It's very common for people in the dream world to find fault. Maybe the other party just thinks that I'm pretty and has a dark mind." Nie Hong said. Lin Jinghong glanced at him speechlessly: "Monkeys are monkeys, they always think things superficially." "Yes, yes, you are right." Nie Hong no longer argued with Lin Jinghong, because most of the time she couldn't win. "Anyway, I can't remember it." Shang Liyu said softly. Anti and the others were not familiar with other people's affairs, so it was not appropriate for them to delve into them too deeply, and in the end, they did not ask any more questions. They separated after returning to the City of Ashes. Walking around the city of Jin, experiencing the local customs and culture, time gradually came to night.
When only a hint of red remained on the horizon, bonfires were lit in every corner of the City of Ashes. This is one of the characteristics of the City of Ashes, a custom that has been passed down from seeking protection from the Flame-possessed who were once born from the Heavenly Fire. It is not a belief, but at most a custom. The bonfire would burn throughout the night and be extinguished at dawn the next day. This is also the time when some Blue Star people who come to the City of Ashes for sightseeing prefer to join in the fun, because there are often many night activities between the bonfires in the city, some of which are also customs, and a large part of them are prepared for the visitors from the dependent land. Jincheng is serious about developing tourism. Anti also came to a campfire and watched the flames burn quietly in front of him. After seeing the night show in Jincheng, the three went to a homestay booked by Lin Jinghong. The first day of the simple and ordinary holiday has come to an end... ? …… Anti turned his head sharply and found himself in the midst of a burnt-out ruined city. This is the City of Ashes, but it seems that it has just suffered a major fire, and many buildings still have unextinguished flames and sparks. "..."Anti was silent. I was clearly on my way to the B&B to rest, but in the blink of an eye, the scene around me had become like this. Lin Jinghong and Nie Hong beside him were nowhere to be seen at this time, and all the pedestrians along the way also disappeared. He seemed to be in a deserted ghost town, with only the sound of burning flames in his ears. "It really can't be cured, right?" Anti said, reaching out and taking out the hammer from his abdomen. Looking at the scene in front of me, a black dot appeared out of nowhere. Fortunately, these eyes are still powerful. [Lihuo Fantasy: Flames do not only have the intention of burning, but also have the ability to confuse and cause hallucinations. A super-large fantasy created by the power of fire, where space loses its meaning and reality and falsehood are confused. This simulated world that draws a large number of people into it marks the beginning of the real festival.] Fantasy. It’s actually an illusion? Anti came to a cluster of flames and rubbed them gently with his hand. Mm, a very stimulating burning sensation, not fake at all. "Confusing reality and falsehood... It's somewhat similar to the feeling in the gap between dreams. Involving a large number of people and a real festival, what happened again? I don't know whether I should be happy or unhappy?" Anti tapped his shoulder lightly with the hammer in thought. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Anti saw several figures walking towards the corner of the street in front of him. They were wearing dark red robes that were so tattered that they looked like they had been burned. There were even sparks flying on them, and their faces were not clear under the clothes. The skin is dry and charred, also looking like a person who has been burned. Behind them, heavier footsteps were heard. Slowly walking out from behind the building was a giant flaming creature. The body is basically made of flames, and the charred bones form a strange frame in the flames. The body is like a bear, but the head is like an elk, and flames are also swaying on a pair of large branch-like horns. The monster had a black collar around its neck, connected to an iron chain and tied to the group's hands.
When they saw Anti, they immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards him. And Anti quickened his pace even faster than them, and threw the hammer out halfway through his run. The hammer hit two people head-on and knocked them down. When a man came close to Anti, the hammer had been called back by the imperial object, and he swung it over and knocked the man over. Seeing how fierce Anti was, some people did not continue to approach him and raised flames in their hands. "Isn't it a miracle?" When Anti watched the flames burning, his night eyes did not react, and he was a little surprised. Generally speaking, this situation indicates that the other party may not be human. "Roar!" With a deafening roar, the chains of the fire monster were loosened and it rushed straight towards Anti. The palms of those people were pointed at Anti at the same time. Fireballs were fired like machine guns, and coupled with the monster's charge, Anti's entire field of vision was instantly filled with flames. Seeing this, Anti dropped the hammer and put his hands together in front of his chest. stab- A thick black mist emerged from Anti's hand, followed by a sound and white lightning flashing in the darkness. The abyss is dark! Anti opened his hands, stretched and expanded the black mist and lightning, and then spread them out in a fan shape directly forward. The fire was obscured by the white lightning, and thick black fog instantly enveloped the street, followed by the painful screams from the fire monster. After a moment, the black fog and white lightning dissipated. None of the human figures were intact, and only half of the skull and a broken horn were left of the fire monster, which fell gently to the ground. An Ti walked over slowly, put his hand on his forehead, and tried to calm himself down. Ding~. Sure enough, there are always some hidden costs, and the big guys behind the scenes won’t tell you everything. The feeling of having his sensitivity permanently burned away by the miracle of the abyss was like having his head roasted in a fire, stewed in a pot, and finally sprinkled with seasoning before being fed to wild dogs. The price of a powerful miracle is really not comfortable at all. (End of this chapter)
