The Portal of Wonderland

Trapped in the flames, Shi Mu's clothes had been completely burned away, revealing a muscular body as if made of fine steel.

The surface of its dark skin has been covered by a layer of light red true energy at some point, and outside the true energy shield, there is also a translucent white layer of spiritual energy.

This is the defensive method that Shi Mu displayed at the fastest speed before being submerged by the flames, trying to use this to resist the invasion of the raging flames around him.

However, as soon as the Qiling Bi Fang on the surface was formed, it melted instantly under the erosion of the flames, and it couldn't last for a while.

The light red true energy shield inside also quickly became very thin under the flames, almost transparent.

Shi Mu only felt as if he was in a blazing furnace, with billowing fire waves rushing towards him from all directions, and every inch of his skin felt an indescribably hot and tingling pain.

If it wasn't for the fact that he practiced fire-attribute exercises, he had extraordinary resistance and adaptability to scorching heat, otherwise he couldn't hold on long ago and passed out.

But even so, he began to feel that breathing became extremely difficult, and his eyes were a little blurred, but his left hand still firmly held Zhong Xiu's hand and did not let go.

Xiuer!

Shi Mu's heart trembled, he bit the tip of his tongue suddenly, and a gleam of clarity flashed in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he raised his right hand, and immediately shot out several blue talismans, which exploded immediately.

A large piece of light blue cold air surged out, rolled down violently, and instantly condensed into a layer of blue mist cocoon around Shi Mu's body, isolating the surrounding billowing flames outside.

Shi Mu only felt the surrounding air cool down, and an indescribably refreshing feeling came over him.

However, this feeling only lasted for less than a breath. I saw the surrounding flames surging down, as if countless ferocious giant beasts opened their bloody mouths, and kept attacking from all directions. .

Before Shi Mu could make another move, the blue fog cocoon shattered with a click!

The raging flames submerged Shi Mu's body again, and the thin red shield of true energy on his body became thinner and thinner, leaving only a layer as thin as a cicada's wing, barely covering Shi Mu's whole body.

All this seems to be very long, but in fact it is only a few short breaths after Zhong Xiu's body surface mutated again.

At this moment, a deep light appeared on the surface of the meteorite black knife on Shi Mu's back, and at the same time, an invisible suction force emanated from it, and strands of flame sprouted out of the billowing flames, like moths throwing flames Generally speaking, one after another changed direction and sank into the black knife.

The raging flames engulfed Shi Mu's body, making his skin red like fire.

Shi Mu felt severe pain all over his body like a knife cut, and the power of fire poison penetrated into his body through the zhenqi shield on his body surface, penetrating into his veins.

Shi Mu gritted his teeth tightly, and the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead evaporated instantly the moment he appeared.

Shi Mu felt his eyes go dark, and finally passed out.

It's just that from beginning to end, his left hand has been holding Zhong Xiu's right hand, as if worried that if he lets go, he will lose the other party.

The raging flames in the warehouse were still mercilessly devouring everything, and Shi Mu's skin became more and more red.

Because the Meteorite Black Saber absorbed part of the flames, and with the support of the last layer of fire spirit qi, it could barely keep its body from being scorched, but judging from the situation, it obviously couldn't last long.

On the other side, Zhong Xiu's body was also wrapped in raging flames.

At this moment, her eyes are closed tightly, and the skin on Sai Xue's face is now red, and she looks a little more charming, but her expression is obviously painful, and her delicate body trembles slightly, as if she is enduring some kind of inhuman pain. pain.

At this moment, a black light flew out from somewhere on Zhong Xiu's body, suspended in mid-air out of thin air.

In the black light, there is a thumb-sized black bead, engraved with circles of faint golden patterns on the surface.

It was the bead that was given by the mysterious monk Miaokong at the border of the ancient Xixia country in the East Continent.

After the bead trembled, the golden pattern on the surface suddenly brightened, and it spun rapidly, bursting out circles of light golden halos, spreading in all directions.

An incredible scene appeared!

The monstrous flames burning around him seemed to be a little afraid of this pale golden halo, and they were forced to open up a small space by this halo.

The next moment, a large piece of black light emerged from the black beads. These black lights were surprisingly mysterious black runes, bouncing up and down in the pale golden halo.

However, as the black runes continued to appear, the black beads shrunk rapidly visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared without a trace.

These black runes seemed to be summoned by some kind of call, and after a flash of light, they quickly plunged into Zhong Xiu's body below.

As for Zhong Xiu, every time a black rune fell into his body, the pain on his face lightened slightly, and the red lines on the skin all over his body also dimmed a little.

At the same time, the range of raging flames that originally filled the entire warehouse also shrunk a lot, and they continued to gather towards Zhong Xiu's place.

When all the black runes had disappeared into Zhong Xiu's body, the pale golden halo that filled the surroundings also dissipated.

At the moment, most of the raging flames that were raging in the entire warehouse shrank back to Zhong Xiu's body, and condensed out of thin air into a big flaming bird that spread its wings and fluttered.

But this situation just passed away in a flash. The next moment, the flame bird whirled and turned into a flaming feather coat, wrapping Zhong Xiu's body.

Beside Zhong Xiu, Shi Mu was still surrounded by residual flames, his skin was already as red as fire, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.

At this moment, above the warehouse, the void fluctuated together.

A quaint bronze mirror the size of a palm suddenly came across the sky.

The ancient bronze mirror seemed to be spiritual. After sweeping towards the nearby void, it suddenly pointed the mirror at where Zhong Xiu was.

There was only a sound of 嗤啦, the golden light on the mirror surface flowed, and a pale golden beam of light spewed out from it.

Countless five-color runes tumbled out of the beam of light, and after intertwining for a while, they gradually condensed into a somewhat blurred figure, which gradually became clearer.

It was a phantom of a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a five-color feather coat.

The woman's eyes were golden yellow, her face was pretty, and she exuded a faint golden light all over her body, filled with an indescribable sacred and inviolable aura.

The woman with the phoenix crown looked at Zhong Xiu who was wrapped in flames on the ground as if she had sensed it, and then there was a gleam of joy on her face, and she murmured:

In such a remote star field, there are people who can awaken the blood of Tianfeng. It's really a gratifying thing! However, whoever predicted it in advance and took action to suppress the blood's backlash, I'm afraid the family will owe a big favor .”

The voice is gentle and pleasant, like the sounds of nature.

But at the next moment, the woman with the phoenix crown turned her gaze to Zhong Xiu's side. After seeing Shi Mu who was lying on the ground hand in hand with Zhong Xiu, her eyebrows frowned, and a blush rose on her cheeks, but she moved away immediately. He rolled his eyes, sneered and said:

Hmph! A mere lowly human race dares to tarnish the blood of the Feng family. The crime is unforgivable, and the only way out is death!

As soon as the words fell, the Fengguan woman raised one hand, as if she wanted to do something.

But after taking a look at Zhong Xiu, the woman's technique changed, and a cloud of soft rays of light flew out from her sleeves, enveloping Zhong Xiu, causing her body to rise slowly into the air, and Shi Mu, who was holding her right hand, also Let go.

The flames all over Zhong Xiu's body were surrounded by the soft glow, but they struggled and trembled a few times, and soon they all disappeared into the red lines on Zhong Xiu's body as they did when they appeared. Only Shi Mu below was still covered by the flames.

After the flames submerged, these red lines on Zhong Xiu's body gradually faded and finally disappeared.

Zhong Xiu was completely naked at the moment, her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, her fair and flawless skin was slightly pink, her breathing was even, as if she was asleep.

Seeing this, the woman with the phoenix crown had a look of love and affection in her beautiful eyes. She raised her hand again, and a robe flew out, covering Zhong Xiu's body.

After doing all this, the woman with the phoenix crown turned cold. With a flick of her finger, a golden flame flew out, and silently merged into the red flame that was still burning on Shi Mu's body.

Hula!

The crimson flame that was originally burning seemed to have shrunk a little, but it instantly turned into a pale golden color.

Shi Mu's body surface was originally thin fire spirit shield, in this pale golden flame, instantly collapsed without a trace.

Shi Mu groaned in pain, his beard and hair immediately turned to ashes, and at the same time his skin began to turn black, with a faint smell like roasted meat.

After the phoenix crown woman released the golden flame, she didn't know whether it was due to her confidence in her own means or her disdain. She didn't look at Shi Mu again, and pointed at the ancient bronze mirror in midair with one hand.

The surface of the ancient bronze mirror was full of brilliance, and a pale golden glow shot out from it, engulfing Zhong Xiu who was suspended in midair, and turned into a ball of golden light, absorbed into the bronze mirror.

Afterwards, the phantom figure of the woman with the phoenix crown blurred for a while, and turned into densely packed five-color runes again. With the retraction of the pale golden beam of light, it also disappeared into the bronze mirror.

Then the bronze mirror flickered slightly in the void like when it came, and suddenly disappeared through the sky.

The warehouse became quiet again.

The pale golden flame continued to burn, but if you looked closely, you would find that there were faint strands of flame seedlings, which were absorbed by the meteorite black knife on Shi Mu's back.

The severe pain made Shi Mu recover a little bit of consciousness, and at this moment, he is still half asleep and half awake.

He only felt that his whole body was scorching hot, his whole body seemed to be torn apart, the pain was unbearable, the flesh and blood in his body was boiling, as if it was about to gush out immediately.

With the golden stars faintly flashing in the scorched skin, at this moment, the whole body is like a charcoal man, and there is no longer an inch of intact skin.

Xiu'er, Xiu'er... Shi Mu began to murmur subconsciously.

Soon, he couldn't feel any pain and fell into a coma completely.

The scorched black surface skin of his left hand faintly reveals a trace of silver light. (To be continued.)
