I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 322 Total War (11)

Most of the Ash Beasts were frozen by the previous blow and temporarily lost their ability to move.

Seeing Edward and Ellie passing by him, he could only roar angrily.

There were also several ash beasts that breathed flames at the two of them in an attempt to intercept them, but these attacks were blocked by the frost barrier set up around Ellie.

Although the situation has turned around now, it is still not optimistic.

Because the temperature of the core of lava is too high, the effect of the ice seal that could have lasted for several minutes now only lasted for less than half a minute before it began to melt slowly, and the ice effect of the leading ash beast had already

Completely relieved, he began to pass through the gaps between the other ash beasts, desperately chasing the two of them.

Fortunately, the strength of the two of them was not weak. With the help of Ellie's acceleration magic, the two of them were finally not overtaken by the Ash Beast Herd again.

Along the way, the two of them ran desperately at the bottom of the valley where lava was rolling around, while the ash beast herd behind them gathered more and more.

"Damn it, is there no other way out of this hellish place?" Edward looked at the increasingly steep mountain walls around him, feeling anxious in his heart.

Finally, Ellie's physical exhaustion came to an end.

As a magician, due to her limited endurance, she has never been able to run fast for a long time like Edward. Even if she is blessed with the wind acceleration spell, it will not help.

"I can't, I, really, can't run anymore." Ellie said, regardless of the hot ground, she was so tired that she almost fell to the ground.

Edward beside her immediately pulled her up again the moment she sat down.

There is no difference between being in direct contact with the hot ground and sitting on a red-hot iron plate.

Edward looked around and found that the two of them were standing in front of a huge lava waterfall. Not far away, the lava continuously flowing down from the top of the mountain formed a lava lake. Dark red mixed with gray-black lava. In that huge piece of lava

The lake was constantly rolling, and puffs of pale white hot steam emerged from time to time.

On the other three sides, countless ash beasts have completely surrounded them. Now it can be said that the two of them have reached a dead end.

Edward cursed secretly in his heart, and after greeting all the relatives of the Ember Beast, he also knew that he had reached a situation where he had to fight with all his strength. Although the hope of winning was slim, at least it was better than sitting still and waiting to die.

"Ellie, stand behind me and I will deal with those monsters."

Edward said as he gathered all his fighting spirit again.

However, due to the previous use of Frozen Thousand Miles, in order to maximize the effect, Edward had already consumed a considerable part of his fighting spirit, so at this moment, his fighting spirit does not seem as strong as it was at the beginning.

However, the Ash Beasts obviously have no idea about the strength of Edward's fighting spirit. In their eyes, the only thing they need to do is to tear the two humans in front of them into pieces.

Before that, they don't care about anything else.

"Boom, boom, boom" accompanied by Edward's fighting spirit, three more ash beasts were crushed to pieces by his domineering fighting spirit.

Edward could no longer afford to lose. This was the first Ash Beast he had defeated. The flame crystals covering the ground in front of him proved the intensity of this battle.

When Edward had just knocked down three ash beasts, several ash beasts nearby took advantage of the gap between Edward's attacks and pounced on them.

Edward raised his sword to block, and heard a "dang" sound. Shadow Oath was actually blocked by a relatively large ash beast.

Just in this gap, another Ash Beast pounced over again.

Edward raised his sword to block again, but found that he had very little fighting spirit left, and it was difficult to deal with such a large number of ash beasts.

"Edward, be careful!" As soon as the voice fell, several wind blades flew out from behind Edward, cutting the incoming Ash Beast into pieces.

"Thanks, Ellie!" Edward turned his head and smiled at Ellie.

And his hands were not idle. After regrouping his fighting spirit, Shadow Oath swung out again, cutting several ash beasts that came at him into two pieces.

Ellie wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled at Edward, but the situation was getting worse and worse. Although in just one hour of fighting, the two of them had killed countless ash beasts together,

But there were still only a lot more Ash Beasts gathered.

At present, the physical strength and strength of the two people have declined significantly. If they continue to entangle, the results can be imagined.

But it is obviously unrealistic to escape. The physical strength of the two people no longer allows them to use large-scale restriction magic like Frozen Miles.

"If we continue like this, we will die here." A not-so-good idea suddenly flashed through Ellie's mind, but she immediately shook her head and threw it away, "Those ash beasts should be the ones described in the teacher's book.

Elemental creatures, if this is the case, maybe..."

"Edward, if you hold on for a while, I think I have a solution."

Edward nodded and said nothing. There was no time for him to think about Ellie's thoughts now.

The only thing to do is to delay as much time as possible before Ellie can think of a way.

Without any hesitation, Edward concentrated his last strength on the Extreme Shadow Oath, struggling to resist the tide of attacks from countless ash beasts.

Ellie was naturally not idle either. She squatted half-crouched on the ground and quickly used magic to draw a small magic circle: "Great Earth Elf Titan, I now summon your power in the name of contract, let me share it with you.

Explore the unknown land - spiritual exploration!" Along with a strong wave of magic, Ellie's mind immediately showed the entire underground distribution of the Lava Core, and one of the locations immediately caught her attention.

That location was behind the huge lava waterfall behind them. A barrier glowing with light red light completely blocked her detection skills.

[That's right there, those ash beasts are indeed driven by some kind of power to protect something.] After confirming the question, some corresponding situations immediately emerged in Ellie's mind.

"Edward, I understand. Those ash beasts are guarding something, and that thing is behind the lava waterfall."

Ellie figured out the problem and immediately told the situation to Edward, who was still fighting with the Ash Beast.

"So what if we know? We don't have the ability to go inside now." Edward gasped for air as he desperately chopped down an ash beast.

"No, the remaining magic power I have now should be able to support us in flying over. There is no time to hesitate, come here quickly!" Edward also knew that the result of fighting would be death, so it would be better to give it a try. Maybe there is still hope.

So he roared and slashed out a streak of fighting energy, forcefully forcing the approaching ash beasts back a few steps, and then immediately turned around and rolled a few times to come to Ellie's side.

Ellie held Edward's arm firmly, and a blue whirlwind immediately rose from their feet.

"Hurricane Barrier!" A stream of air immediately lifted the two of them into the air and finally avoided the Ash Beast's fierce attack. Then, Ellie reinforced the effect of the Frost Barrier again, and rushed towards the lava with Edward.

Fall.

When Edward rushed into the waterfall, he felt an indescribable heat coming from the top of his head, and rushed down with his face covered.

He looked up and saw dark red magma continuously falling on the double barrier that Ellie had deployed. Due to the effect of the frost barrier, a lot of the magma was immediately cooled into rock. The other side was cooled into rock due to the hurricane barrier.

Due to the relationship, those rocks did not fall, but were picked up by the wind element and stopped in mid-air, and attached to the surrounding barrier.

Other hot magma continues to fall, constantly scouring the surface of the rock formations, re-melting the newly solidified rocks.

At this moment, Ellie is at the end of her rope - flying with Edward has consumed a lot of her magic power, and the hot magma and the cooled rocks that have solidified on the surface of the barrier have invisibly increased her burden.

Sweat was now covering her forehead, but she knew that now was definitely not the time to give up. As long as there was a mistake, the hot magma would turn her and Edward to ashes in an instant.

At this moment, Edward couldn't do anything except being anxious. He just prayed that he could pass the terrible lava waterfall as soon as possible.

Just when Ellie's barrier was about to collapse, a small hole finally appeared in front of the two of them.

Ellie made the right bet - the two of them rushed to the entrance of the cave safely. However, when they arrived, Ellie's magic power was finally exhausted and she lost the support of the wind element, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground.

Looking at the lava waterfall continuously flowing down from above, Edward and Ellie confirmed that they were still alive. Ellie's last magic finally helped the two pass through the hellish lava waterfall.

After each of them dusted off the hot volcanic ash that had shattered from the edge of the barrier, the two of them took a short rest.

The battle just now consumed almost all the physical strength and energy of the two people. Although it is still safe now, no one can guarantee whether there will be danger deep in the cave.

"Edward, what should we do next?" Looking around the surrounding environment, Ellie was a little confused.

"What else can we do? There is no turning back for us. There are so many ash beasts outside, and I can't deal with them without Merlin's help. Let's just go inside the cave to see if there are any other exits. Maybe we can also find what Merlin asked us to find.

."

The two rested in place for a while, feeling that their physical strength and energy had recovered a little, and then began to walk deeper into the cave.

Along the way, there was no sound in the cave except for the footsteps of the two people.

After walking for who knows how long, Edward finally found a little light coming from the corner in the distance.

"It seems that this cave is coming to an end soon, be careful." Edward said, pulling out the Shadow Oath from behind and observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Ellie didn't answer. The frost barrier surrounding her had strengthened a lot at this moment. The ice crystals solidifying on the edge of the barrier and the water vapor that was constantly melting and dissipating fully demonstrated this.

The two of them cautiously approached the luminous spot, and as the light gradually became apparent, their moods became more and more nervous.

Finally, the two of them passed the corner, but then they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

It's so exaggerated that it's unimaginable that such a narrow cave just now actually leads to a huge cave. What's even more surprising is that in the center of this cave that looks bigger than Kalei City, there is a dragon-style cave.

temple.

"This, this is unbelievable."

Edward stood at the entrance of the temple, looking at the huge entrance unique to dragon buildings, and said with surprise on his face.

"I think this should be the place that my detection technique cannot see. There is a strong barrier of dragon power around this temple."

"No matter what, let's go in and take a look first." Edward carefully observed the situation near the entrance and confirmed that there were no traps or anything like that.

The two carefully entered the center of the temple from the main entrance, but to their disappointment, although the interior of the temple looked gorgeous, there was nothing of value.

Except for a huge cauldron burning with blazing fire placed in the center of the temple, there is no other special thing.

"Okay, stop looking. This is probably not the place we are looking for. Let's find a way to find the exit first." Edward, who is not interested in history or magic, obviously has no interest in the murals Ellie studied.

.

"Wait a minute, I always think these murals are very special." Ellie said without looking back.

"Special? What's so special? Aren't those things the same in every temple? By the way, don't the main hall of the Silent Temple also have those things?"

"No, the murals here are all different. Generally speaking, the murals in the temple are descriptions of some events and have their own meanings.

But it’s strange that I don’t understand anything described on the murals here.”

"I don't understand? Isn't that better? Just don't think about it and just find a way to go back."

"No, look at this mural." Ellie said, turning around and pulling Edward to look at the mural she was talking about.

"What, it's just describing the war between dragons and elves... Wait a minute, I seem to remember that dragons and elves almost never had conflicts. This is..." Edward looked at the mural in front of him and suddenly discovered something unusual in it.

"No, if you take a closer look, the people fighting the dragons on the murals are not the winged elves at all. They don't have the unique long ears of the elves, but they look very similar to humans."

"But how is it possible for humans to grow wings? The carvings on this mural are too weird." Edward was completely confused now. He didn't know much about history in the first place, and now his mind was completely confused.

"Not only those humans with wings, but also this. Look at that dragon." Ellie pointed to a strange flying dragon in the mural again, regardless of whether Edward could understand her meaning, "That dragon has three heads."

, I remember this does not exist in the Dragon Clan.

The flying dragon Doru Dora among the dragons has two heads, but there is absolutely no dragon with three heads."

"Okay, okay, I think the guy who built this temple painted it blindly. They even had problems with the engraved words. It should be normal for them to engraved the wrong murals." Edward, as always, was very confused about things that were difficult for him to understand.

Feeling a little repulsed, I casually found an excuse and said.
