Just as the group was happily looking forward to going back and selling the harvest to make a lot of money, Li Mingyang was also full of joy and fantasized about how happy his master would be when he saw the full harvest. Without any warning, they set out on their way back, following the road they had taken when they came. A surging heat wave rushed towards them like a flood that broke through the dam.

At that moment, the sky, which was originally clear and blue and glittering like a precious gem, was suddenly painted with a thick layer of dark red at an unimaginable speed, as if by an invisible hand hidden in the dark and with great power. This dark red was like a thick curtain, slowly descending, tightly covering the entire vast world. In an instant, a strange and oppressive atmosphere spread, as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world.

People raised their heads and looked into the distance in horror. Looking far away, their eyes were focused on the location of the ancient country's ruins. There, a huge flame was burning like a volcanic eruption, suddenly rising into the sky. The flame was extremely hot and the light was dazzling, just like a burning sun hanging high in the sky.

Looking closely, the flames actually looked like a furious, irrational prehistoric beast. It opened its big mouth with sharp fangs and roared wantonly, while waving its strong and powerful claws, stretching out its ferocious and terrifying body. This beast had no mercy and mercilessly dragged everything around it into its greedy and bloody mouth.

Whether it was the broken walls and ruins that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, or the towering ancient trees that were lush and leafy, they all seemed so insignificant and fragile in front of this ferocious beast. In just a blink of an eye, they were engulfed by the ruthless flames, instantly turning into wisps of light smoke and ashes, and dissipated without a trace.

Although they were very far apart, the powerful force that could destroy the world seemed to be very close, allowing everyone present to clearly and truly feel the deadly threat it contained.

This force was like a ferocious and violent beast, rushing towards everyone with its fangs and claws bared. Its majestic momentum and power were so great that it made people shudder.

A deep feeling of fear and awe surged in everyone's heart involuntarily. This emotion was like a surging tide, quickly drowning their souls.

Under the impact of this powerful force, even people's steps became staggering and unsteady.

His once steady and powerful footsteps now seemed to be stepping on cotton, soft and powerless. His body swayed from side to side and he could fall to the ground at any time.

"What the hell is going on?" Ayun couldn't help but let out a cry of horror in the crowd.

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

At the same time, Li Mingyang did not hesitate at all. He turned around and quickly returned along the way he came, like an arrow from a bow. His steps were vigorous and light, as if there was wind under his feet, and in the blink of an eye he was close to the blazing fire.

As the distance got closer, an unbearable heat swept over him like a surging sea wave. The scorching heat seemed to melt him, making it difficult for him to breathe, and his skin was stinging from the burning. But Li Mingyang did not retreat, instead he endured the discomfort and continued to approach the flames step by step.

When he got closer, he opened his eyes wide and observed carefully. The scene in front of him shocked him greatly: the flames showed a strange color, red with purple, purple with golden light, and the temperature was beyond imagination! Even though he had experienced many battles, he had never seen such high-temperature flames in his life. Moreover, these flames were not like ordinary fires that raged without any rules. They seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, beating and spreading rhythmically. Every jump and stretch was accompanied by a heart-pounding rhythm.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Li Mingyang's mind like lightning that cut through the night sky - could this be the mysterious fire spirit that has been circulating in the ancient country? As soon as this thought came to his mind, his heart sank with a click, and he instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. If it was really a fire spirit that appeared in the world, it would inevitably cause a huge disaster. And he himself might have been involved in this terrible crisis.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the blazing fire in front of him. He quickly turned around and ran back to the team as fast as he could.

"Oh no! It's the fire spirit!" Li Mingyang shouted loudly while running wildly, his voice full of tension and anxiety.

When he returned to the crowd, he was as pale as paper, gasping for breath and said, "I guess the fire spirit might have been disturbed by us, or it might have sensed our arrival. In any case, we can't stay here for long, we must leave here immediately!"

But how could the fire spirit let them go so easily? It was gleaming with dazzling flames, like an enraged beast, and it let out a deafening roar that resounded through the sky. Along with the roar, the blazing flames seemed to come to life in an instant, like a surging torrent, sweeping towards Li Mingyang and the others with overwhelming force.

In the blink of an eye, the blazing flames were within reach, and the air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of burning. The originally pleasant temperature also rose sharply in an instant, as if one was in a huge furnace, making people feel unbearable heat and difficulty breathing.

Faced with this sudden crisis, Li Mingyang remained calm. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone run! Don't hesitate, try to stay away from the center of the fire!" After that, he turned around and ran towards a safe direction, waving to others to keep up with him.

However, although everyone tried their best to escape the flames, the powerful force displayed by the fire spirits was far beyond their imagination. The seemingly ferocious flames seemed to have consciousness, closely following their figures. No matter how they dodged, they could not escape the heavy encirclement of the flames. Every step forward required great effort and courage, and the road to escape became more and more difficult.

Seeing his companions' lives threatened by the devil-like flames, Li Mingyang's heart instantly ignited with a raging fighting spirit, as if a ball of fire was burning wildly in his chest.

"I will never let anything happen to you!" He clenched his fists tightly and said with a determined look. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with determination and unyielding. Before he finished speaking, he turned around resolutely and faced the raging flames without fear.

At this moment, Li Mingyang was like a towering, rock-hard mountain, standing firmly in place. His body was tall and straight, like a giant standing upright, exuding an incomparable calm aura.

A powerful aura that could not be described in words continuously emanated from him. This aura was like a surging wave or a strong wind that blocked out the sky and the sun, making people involuntarily look at him. Anyone who felt this aura was amazed and impressed.

Looking at his eyes again, they were shining with a bright light of determination and courage, like the brightest star in the night sky. The light was so dazzling, full of strength and determination, as if he had already understood the laws of operation of all things in the world, and was fully prepared to face any difficulties and obstacles that were coming. Even if what was waiting for him ahead was a fierce and cruel battle with unpredictable life and death, he was not afraid and moved forward courageously.

"I don't care who you are, please stop what you are doing and listen to me! We just happened to pass by here, and we have no intention of offending you! I hope you can show mercy and curb your burning anger. If we really offended you in some way, it was an unintentional mistake. I beg you to forgive us, calm down your anger, and let us leave in peace, okay?"

Li Mingyang took a deep breath, trying to keep his trembling voice as steady and calm as possible. However, the fear in his heart was like a surging wave, hitting his fragile defenses wave after wave. Although he tried his best to control his emotions, the fear that penetrated his bones was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

While he whispered his thoughts and requests in a trembling but sincere voice, he stared with wide eyes, concentrating and carefully observing every subtle movement and expression change of the fire spirit, trying to catch even the slightest possible sign of reaction from it.

However, what was disappointing was that the fire spirit seemed to turn a deaf ear to what Li Mingyang said. It was like a lone traveler immersed in his own world, turning a deaf ear to all interference from the outside world. Not only that, in the face of Li Mingyang's desperate pleas, the fire spirit not only had no mercy, but instead intensified the intensity and power of its attack.

In an instant, the blazing flames that had already covered the sky and the sun once again stirred up a raging tide. The flames flying all over the sky were like a ferocious ancient beast that had broken free from its restraints, opened its bloody mouth, revealed its sharp fangs, and waved its sharp claws, rushing towards the crowd with an overwhelming force.

The extremely scorching heat seemed like the fire from the depths of hell. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and the rocks melted. It seemed as if it could burn all things in the world to ashes. Even the surrounding air was violently distorted because it could not withstand such heat, presenting a weird and terrifying scene.

In this situation, even an inexperienced person could clearly see that the blazing fire spirit had made a determination as firm as steel. It was determined to burn every person present, as well as the vast and boundless land beneath their feet, and completely destroy them, turning this place into a ruin full of charred ruins. Only then would it stop.

Seeing that the possibility of properly resolving the matter through peaceful means was becoming increasingly slim, almost approaching zero, Li Mingyang's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well that a fierce decisive battle that was a matter of life and death was inevitable and imminent.

At this critical moment, he took a deep breath of air filled with endless tension and determination. The breath flowed into his body like a raging torrent, as if the entire vast universe was sucked into his broad and solid chest. Then, he closed his eyes tightly without hesitation, completely immersing his body and mind in the deep darkness as black as ink.

However, beneath this seemingly calm appearance, a thrilling mobilization of power was quietly unfolding in his body. The power hidden deep in his body, like a long-sleeping giant beast, began to gradually awaken. They rushed through his meridians, their speed and momentum were as fast as surging rivers.

These river-like forces collided and merged with each other, constantly converging together to form an even more powerful torrent. When all the forces finally gathered together, Li Mingyang, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. In an instant, two rays of resolute light flashed through his eyes, like a meteor across the night sky, dazzling but fleeting.
