From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 355: Stopping the Flame Demon
"Do you elders need support?" Lu Heng asked the two Siren warriors.

"The elder can handle it, it just takes more time." The two Siren warriors relayed Celian's reply truthfully.

"Inform her that the Fire Demon Gross has come out, and..."

When Lu Heng said this, large bubbles began to rise from the surging sea surface, as if the entire sea was boiling.

Immediately afterwards, a giant fire demon with a body length of two hundred meters rushed out from the bottom of the sea, roaring to the sky, rolling up a violent heat wave, and forming a tsunami on the sea surface.

"Go back!"

Lu Hengfei stepped back and grabbed Lin Zeyu and dragged him back.

After the Fire Demon Gross rushed out of the sea, he raised his arms and slammed the sea surface, causing huge waves to bombard the sirens and human recruits on the sea.

The Siren immediately dived, hid in the sea water, and quickly fled to the outer circle.

However, as soon as they dived into the water, they immediately ran into the fire demon puppet transformed by the mermaid.

Hundreds of sirens, including Onatu, were engulfed by the magma and turned into flame demon puppets emitting flames. They began to chase the siren warriors brought by Celian.

"What should we do now?" Su Muyu controlled the Chongming Bird to help his companions in the Ocean Team resist the attacks of the Fire Demon, and asked while retreating.

Lu Heng stood on the sea, looking at the huge fire demon, which solved many doubts for him, but also gave rise to more questions.

When the fire demon Gross rushed out of the sea, Lu Heng discovered it at the first moment. This fire demon exuded a strong breath of the abyss.

Elemental demon kings like the Fire Demon are not necessarily contaminated by the abyss. Once contaminated by the abyss, they will emit a strong breath of the abyss.

Now, the flames on the body of the Fire Demon Gross are not pure fiery red, but have a hint of crimson, which is an obvious breath of the abyss.

After discovering this feature, a previous doubt was instantly solved.

The second challenge mission of this call-up requires finding the source of abyss pollution.

For more than half a month, we have been searching for the source of abyss pollution in the Tidal Sea, but we have not found any clues.

Now seeing the aura of the abyss emanating from the Fire Demon Gross, I finally understood what was going on.

Contaminated by the abyss are the embers of Gross beneath the seal of the Deep Frozen Trench.

This also explains why the Fire Demon Gross was resurrected.

Normally, the Fire Demon Gross would have been reduced to ashes, and it would be difficult to resurrect him without external help.

Unless the ashes of Gross are thrown into a volcano and roasted by the heat of the magma for decades, it is possible to revive the fire demon Gross.

Obviously, the Dark Iron Dwarves would never do such a thing.

The reason why the Fire Demon Gross was able to revive was because it gained power from the abyss.

It drew upon the power of the abyss to gain the energy to revive.

Later, the Dark Iron Dwarves discovered it, dug out its ashes, and dumped them into the deep frozen trench.

This invisibly cut off the channel for the Fire Demon Gross to obtain the energy of the abyss.

Normally, if the Fire Demon Gross cannot obtain the energy of the abyss, he cannot be revived.

Since it has revived from the bottom of the sea, it means that there is abyss energy beneath the deep frozen trench, which continuously provides it with energy for resuscitation.

It seems that the Dark Iron Dwarves chose a bad place to bury the Embers of Gross, and poured the Embers of Gross into a place where Abyssal energy exists.

Even so, the embers of Gross sealed in the deep frozen trench absorbed the energy of the abyss for ten years before they had a chance to revive.

In fact, ten years is not enough, not enough for it to gain the energy to break the seal.

That's why Onatu was bewitched and broke the seal by force.

Not only was Onatu bewitched, the Abyss also summoned the Shadow Demons to help the Fire Demon Gross break the seal.

This series of events all have only one purpose, which is to allow the Fire Demon Gross to return to the Dragon Sleep World.

Now, the Firelord Gross has come out. Once he lands on land and returns to the Lava Crown, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom will probably face the most difficult crisis in its history, and may even be wiped out.

There is only one way to prevent this crisis from happening, and that is to unite with the Sirens and stop the Fire Demon Gross from coming ashore.

But will the Sirens agree?

Lu Heng was not sure and could only do his best.

Su Muyu felt the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from the Flame Demon Gross, took a deep breath and said, "The energy level fluctuations are terrifying, a level that I cannot detect, and it must be above level 52."

She has the skill of [Energy Fluctuation Sensing], which allows her to tell the approximate energy level of the target as long as the energy level fluctuation does not exceed level 10.

However, the energy fluctuations emanating from the Fire Demon Gross were beyond her detection range.

You can imagine how terrifying this fire demon is.

"Keep your distance and try to contain the Fire Demon Gross as much as possible, but don't take any risks. This thing is not easy to deal with. If you really can't deal with it, you can give up. Our main mission has been completed, and the first thing we need to do is ensure our safe return." Lu Heng made a decision immediately.

Now is not the time to fight to the death. We were originally recruited to the Siren World to help the Siren Tribe.

The recruiters are not obliged to risk their lives for the purpose of recruiting the world. It will not be wrong to make safe return the first principle.

Liu Haiyang, Jiang Shaoran and other ocean warriors began to roll up huge waves and hit the fire demon Gross.

After all, the Fire Demon Gross is a creature of fire, and fire and sea water are naturally opposites.

When the surging waves hit the fire demon Gros, the flames on its surface will be extinguished, revealing its coal-like charred body.

However, it only takes a moment for the flames to go out. It won't be long before the flames on the body of the Fire Demon Gross will burn again, even more violently than before.

After the Fire Demon Gross rekindled his flames, he roared angrily and swung his arms hard to fight back.

The team members strictly followed Lu Heng's orders and kept as much distance as possible to avoid being affected by the attacks of the Fire Demon Gross.

The movement of the Fire Demon Gross in the sea was inconvenient and was indeed greatly restricted, making it difficult for its attacks to hurt the team members.

However, in addition to the main body of the Fire Demon Gross, there are hundreds of Fire Demon puppets.

These fire demon puppets were transformed from the Sirens after their death and inherited some of their original abilities.

Especially Onatu, after transforming into a fire demon puppet, his combat power not only did not decrease, but instead he possessed the ability of fire, making his combat power even stronger.

After Flame Onatu rushed out of the sea, it opened its mouth and spewed out flames, attacking Liu Haiyang and others.

Cao Lixiong immediately rushed to the front and put up an energy shield to block the flames.

Lin Zeyu took out a sniper rifle, aimed at Flame Onatu and wanted to shoot.

Flame Onatu reacted extremely quickly and immediately sank to the bottom of the sea to avoid the bullets.

Bang!
Lin Zeyu immediately fired, and the bullet shot into the sea. Its power was quickly offset by the resistance of the sea water. Less than one meter after entering the water, the bullet lost its speed and sank straight to the bottom of the sea.

Flame Onatu sometimes rushed out of the sea and sometimes sank into the seabed, attacking everyone in the team.

Not only Onatu, but the other sirens who turned into fire demon puppets did the same, leaping on the sea and launching attacks.

For a while, the team was unable to do anything about these fire demon puppets transformed from sirens.

All attacks will lose much of their power when they come into contact with sea water.

Although Liu Haiyang and his men had the means to attack underwater, no matter how strong their underwater combat power was, they were no match for the sea monsters. For a while, they were unable to do anything with these Flame Demon puppets.

After the Fire Demon Gross ordered the Fire Demon puppets to hold back the human recruits, he began to move westward.

The Deep Frozen Trench is two hundred kilometers away from the west coast. As long as the Fire Demon Gross goes ashore, he can return to the Lava Crown.

If the Firelord Groth cannot be stopped in the sea, the Dark Iron Dwarves will be in trouble.

"This group of fire sirens is so difficult to deal with. We can't defeat them at all." Liu Haiyang was chased by Fire Onatu several times and became very angry.

In addition to the Flame Demon Puppet, a big shadow demon also rushed out of the sea and joined forces with the Flame Demon Gross, making it impossible for Lu Heng, Su Muyu and Xie Shien to deal with the Flame Demon Puppet.

Just when the situation was becoming increasingly tense.

Lin Zeyu raised the sniper rifle, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he activated his class ability, and aimed at Flame Onatu again.

Flame Onatu realized that he was being targeted by a gun and sank to the bottom of the sea again.

This time, Lin Zeyu did not rush to shoot, but first activated the second-class ability [Mark of the Demon Hunter] to lock on Onatu's position.

Then, activate the third-class ability [Void Ballistics].

The combination of the two major class abilities, plus the [Plasma Armor Burst] skill, allows for full firepower.

Pull the trigger!

Bang!
One shot.

The bullet disappeared the instant it left the gun. The next instant, Onatu's body, which was a hundred meters deep underwater, suddenly exploded and was directly blown up by the bullet.

The bullet that combines three energies is so powerful that even a Siren elder of Onatu's level cannot withstand it.

The body exploded into several pieces.

However, Onatu had been transformed into a fire demon puppet and no longer had any life characteristics, so his body exploded, but his upper body was still able to move, and he even wanted to sink into the deep sea and piece his body together.

Lin Zeyu didn't give him this chance. He raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and shouted: "Explode!"

[Mark of the Demon Hunter] explodes, causing the same damage as the one dealt during the mark.

Bang!
Onatu's upper body exploded again, breaking into pieces that could not be put back together.

After getting rid of Onatu, the remaining fire demon puppets are not so troublesome, and Liu Haiyang can lead the Ocean Team to deal with them.

……

the other side.

Lu Heng, Su Muyu and Xie Shien have been delaying the actions of the fire demon Gross and slowing down its movement as much as possible.

However, the Fire Demon Gross was too huge. With a body length of two hundred meters, it was difficult to cause effective damage to the elemental demon even with a fierce attack.

Also, be careful of the counterattack of the Fire Demon Gross.

With the flame energy level of the Fire Demon Gross, if you are hit by the flames it spews, you will lose a layer of skin even if you don’t die.

In addition to the Fire Demon Gros, there was also a shadow demon launching raids from all directions.

The Shadow Demon's combat power and speed are stronger than other shadow demons, and even Lu Heng finds it difficult to intercept it.

Moreover, this shadow demon was very cunning and chose Su Muyu as its main target instead of attacking Lu Heng and Xie Shien.

Lu Heng has the advantage of speed, so it is easy for him to dodge the attack of the Shadow Demon.

Xie Shien also has a strong ability to move in space, so both of them are capable of dealing with the attacks of the Shadow Demon.

Only Su Muyu is a perception type, and his combat power is not as strong as Lu Heng and the others. Every time he is attacked by the shadow demon, it is very dangerous.

Lu Heng could only stay by her side all the time and block the attacks of the shadow demon for her.

The stalemate lasted for half an hour.

The first wave of reinforcements finally arrived.

The Dwarf King Sorivil Copperforge and the Dark Iron Tribe's Great Wizard Hogre, used flying magic to rush to the Tidal Sea, joined the battle, and stopped the Balrog Gros from continuing to move westward.

The real enemy of the Balrog Gros is the Dark Iron Dwarves, so the Dwarf King Sorivil Copperforge and the Great Wizard Hogrey are well aware that once the Balrog Gros comes ashore, their homes will be doomed.

Therefore, blocking the Fire Demon Gross in the Tidal Sea is the best option.

The human conscripts participated in this battle just to obtain the mission rewards, while the Dark Iron Dwarves were fighting for the fate of their clan.

Therefore, Soriwell Copperfurnace and Hogre attacked with all their might as soon as they made their move. Their fierce attacks slammed into the Fire Demon Gross, causing him to roar in anger.

Fortunately, the ashes of Gros buried under the deep frozen trench are only a part of it, so now the combat power of the fire demon Gros is only half of its heyday.

When the Firelord Gros returns to the Lava Crown, retrieves all of his embers from under the ore, and restores himself to his full glory, no one in this world will be able to defeat him.

This is also the reason why the Fire Demon Gross did not want to get entangled with the human recruits and kept moving westward.

In half an hour, the Fire Demon Gross had walked fifty kilometers and was still one hundred and fifty kilometers away from the coast.

This is the Dark Iron Dwarves' last lifeline.

The dwarf king Sorivil Copperfurnace attacked madly, even going so far as to confront the fire demon Gross head-on in close combat in order to stop it.

After several collisions, Sorivil Copperforge's body was already covered with scars from the flames. Fortunately, the Dark Iron Dwarves were born with high resistance to fire, so he did not suffer fatal injuries.

With the Dwarf King and the Great Wizard of the Dark Iron Tribe joining the battle, the speed of the Firelord Gross was indeed slowed down a lot.

But it can only slow down the speed of the fire demon Gross, and there is still no way to destroy it.

With the addition of the Dwarf King and the Dwarf Great Wizard, Lu Heng could finally let go and let Su Muyu and Xie Shien go to the side of the Dwarf Great Wizard, and the three of them worked together to defend against the attack of the Shadow Demon.

Lu Heng freed his hands and used the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash, which rolled up the wind dragon. The wind dragon absorbed sea water from the sea surface and transformed into a water dragon.

The water dragon was a hundred meters long. It soared into the sky, tumbling on the sea, and rushed towards the Fire Demon Gross, instantly extinguishing the flames on most of Gross's body.

The dwarf king Sorivil Copperfurnace took the opportunity to launch an attack, smashing his war hammer into the flame-extinguished body of the Firelord Gross, shattering a large piece of black cinders.

The Fire Demon Gross roared angrily, burst into energy, rekindled the flames, picked up the broken coal slag, stuffed it back into his body, and spewed flames to fight back.

Lu Heng retreated quickly and was out of the flames' coverage in the blink of an eye.

The dwarf king, Sorivil Copperforge, raised his black iron tower shield to resist the flame jet.

The battle became more and more intense. The three members of Lu Heng's team, plus the Dwarf King and the Dwarf Great Wizard, joined forces and barely suppressed the Fire Demon Gross, but they were still a long way from destroying him.

"Damn it!" The Dwarf King Sorivil Copperfurnace was very ashamed. He felt that he did not have as strong fighting power as his grandfather, King Thorendal, otherwise he could have killed the Fire Demon Gross in the sea.

"King, if this continues, the fire demon Gros will come ashore in another hour. We must find a way to stop it." The great wizard Hogre was very anxious.

Sorewell Tonglu turned to look at Lu Heng, looking for help.

Lu Heng said in a deep voice: "Hold on, and wait for the Siren Tribe's High Priest to arrive."

"Are the Sirens willing to help us?" Soriwell Copperfurnace was not very sure. After all, the two tribes were once hostile.
