Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 496: The Road to Fire
Of course, they knew what the so-called Trial of Flame qualification was. It had been mentioned in the announcement that the most direct way to obtain it was to play the "Burning Competition".

But Li Miao gave it directly, it must be because the Candle Keeper has a high favorability, so he was given special treatment.

"Hey, this saves me a lot of effort!"

Li Miao was of course very happy about this. He originally thought that he would have to wait for a while and finish the Burning Competition before he could experience this part of the content.

But the first thing he has to do now is to upgrade his level.

Thinking of this, Li Miao chatted with other players with laughter and scolding for a few words, then clicked on the option of the Big Spirit Candle.

【The Road to Fire】

The choice was almost the same as the fire offering ceremony, and it also required the handing over of a considerable amount of wax oil, but Li Miao had anticipated this.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

After confirmation, Li Miao quickly felt his body and consciousness being pulled together.

Similar to a fire ceremony, the surrounding environment continued to entangle and reorganize, and eventually turned into a new environment. The surrounding blue power flickered, spacious, soft and peaceful.

But this new environment is not the same as the environment of the fire ceremony.

After regaining control of himself, the first thing Li Miao saw was the blazing fire in front of him.

The red and orange interweave together, exuding a strong vitality, like solid steel, which is his fire of war.

[You have started the path to fire.]

[Transformed by fire, the soul, body, and fire intersect and merge, penetrating the root and source, evolving the fire phase, and becoming... the Fire Transformation Saint! ]

A series of very vivid flame characters appeared in his sight, and the blazing flames of war seemed to have a deeper connection with him at this moment.

[Hint: The candle spirit is a body formed by the fusion of an external soul and candle flame. The flame is inherently weak, so the flame cannot be transformed in one go. The flame transformation process will be divided into three stages.]

[After completing the previous stage of fire transformation, you can proceed to the next stage of fire transformation. After completing three stages, you can be promoted to the "burning spirit" ignition point. ]

[In the first stage, you will aim to transform your external body into fire.]

[In the next trial, please guide Zhanhuo, or follow Zhanhuo's potential will and make your own behavior as consistent as possible. ]

"Ok?"

"It's actually divided into three stages... It's just as I thought, not that simple."

After seeing this prompt, Li Miao couldn't help but frown.

Although he was mentally prepared for this, he still felt some pressure when he saw this situation.

However, after taking a deep breath, he quickly adjusted his state.

"Never mind, start!"

After calming down, Li Miao walked forward without hesitation and touched the fire of war that symbolized his own strength.

sieve--

The already tamed War was like an obedient pet, quickly clinging to every inch of Li Miao's body through his arms.

But Li Miao soon discovered some differences from normal gaming.

"My movements are somewhat out of control. No... maybe I should say stiff."

Li Miao moved his wrist and then looked at his body carefully.

Then he suddenly realized that his current "body" was more like an outline than a "body".

Without the involvement of the body?
This must be the reason for the stiffness...

Li Miao thought to himself.

boom--

Just as he was thinking, there was a huge noise suddenly coming from the front.

As the flames rose, an illusory monster also made of flames appeared in front of Li Miao.

Moreover, its appearance does not seem to be fixed and is changing all the time.

Sometimes it has four legs close to the ground, sometimes it has a human form, sometimes it has a tail and fins, or even wings and tentacles. It is worth mentioning that Li Miao seems to have seen these features on monsters in the dungeon. It looks like an ultimate stitched monster.

【Fire without form】

Li Miao tried to check the other party's specific information, but he only saw a name and knew nothing else.

Does this mean that in order to complete the first stage of the Path to Fire, you have to defeat this thing?
Such a thought flashed through Li Miao’s mind.

However, the Fire Transformation on the opposite side did not allow him to think too much.

"Gulard——"

With a roar, the huge body of Huahuo Wuxiang on the opposite side instantly froze into the appearance of a Law Knight, but what he was waving in his hand was the mace used by a monster in another copy.

Li Miao didn't have time to think and quickly jumped sideways to try to dodge.

The power of war also cooperated well and even reacted faster than him.

The reactions of the two are tentatively consistent in this regard.

But Huahuo Wuxiang's attack did not end there. He actually turned his hammer into a tail and swept towards Li Miao.

Li Miao did not let him down this time. He quickly pulled back and dodged, coordinating well with Zhanhuo.

"Should be able to use weapons?"

Li Miao subconsciously reached out and grasped the sword, just like when he was offering fire.

The result did not disappoint him, as a translucent sword appeared in his hand amid the rising flames.

A large shield also appeared on the other arm.

"Huh...Okay, let's try to find out what tricks this guy has!"

Li Miao exhaled and his eyes focused.

When it comes to this kind of unknown monster, he usually likes to test it first, see what the opponent does, and then look for an opportunity.

The attack of Huahuo Wuxiang soon followed. This time, he transformed into the appearance of a mage zombie, raised his hand and swung out several energy balls towards Li Miao.

Li Miao's reaction was naturally quick, and he immediately tried to dodge sideways.

But this time, something went wrong.

His original intention was to dodge the attack, but the fire of war clinging to his body seemed to instinctively stimulate its own power, as if it was forming a shield in front to block the attack.

The different choices quickly caused their unstable bodies to become temporarily stiff.

"Fuck!"

Li Miao cursed in his heart, then gritted his teeth and tried to quickly start the war.

And Zhanhuo's instinct seemed to react at this moment, and he wanted to change his actions to comply with Li Miao's choice.

But in battle, a moment of distraction can often make the subsequent situation completely different.

As expected, due to the stiffness at this moment, Li Miao neither dodged nor formed a shield to resist. Instead, he was forced to absorb the pile of energy balls with his body.

Li Miao retreated several steps, and the power of the war was weakened.

"Although the tamed warfire will completely obey my will, it still has some instincts!"

Li Miao was keenly aware of this, and this was also the reason for his stiff body.

"Integrate... penetrate the root and source... guide the war, or follow the potential will of the war and achieve the greatest degree of consistency with one's own behavior... Got it!"

Li Miao seemed to have a very strong understanding in this area, and he figured out the key almost instantly.

but.

Huahuo Wuxiang did not give him a chance to breathe and another attack came quickly.

"Boom!"

But this time, Li Miao quickly raised his hand and used his sword to firmly block the opponent's attack.
