The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Chapter Ten: Aponia Sensed Danger

Faced with Kiana's renewed remarks, Mei and Bronya changed their previous dismissive attitude and stepped forward with some concern.

"Kiana, what's wrong? Did you notice something strange again?"

"Phew..." Bronya covered her forehead, looking somewhat troubled. "In the current situation, your intuition might come in very handy."

"What are you guys talking about? Count me in?"

Seeing the three whispering amongst themselves, Hei Fu stepped forward, wanting to join in.

Kiana, seeing that she was trying to interrupt her conversation with Mei, quickly reached out to stop her: "Hey, here you go again! We weren't talking about anything!"

Seeing that Kiana was rejecting him, Black Talisman apologized with a cold face:

"Phew, sorry about that. Maybe my presence made you uncomfortable, right?"

"No, no, no, what are you thinking?"

"Yes, yes!" Hei Fu said, arms crossed and cheeks puffed out in surprise.

Subsequently, the people who helped dissuade the Black Symbol changed from Kiana to Kiana and Mei.

After a series of comical commotions, everyone quieted down.

The black talisman, who had just been joking with Kiana, now put away his playful thoughts: "Ahem, what did you find out? Speak up, I believe you."

"You believe me before I even said anything? Thank you for your trust."

Kiana shook her head, finding her companion's straightforwardness both amusing and touching.

Although there were some minor conflicts before she joined, they have now been resolved, and my relationship with her has even become more relaxed.

It's unbelievable. Should we say that children don't hold grudges?

Kiana looked at Mei beside her and said with some helplessness, "I think I just sensed a very serious aura. I don't know if I should tell you."

"What kind of aura is that? Kiana, just tell us directly. No matter what difficulties we face, we can overcome them together."

Mei patted her chest and assured him, while Bronya nodded in agreement.

"That aura...it's the aura of a snake..."

Kiana glanced at Alicia and Mei beside her, and then said, "I think you know who I'm talking about."

Kiana's words elicited different reactions from both Black Charm and Mei.

What do you want to say?

Hei Fu couldn't help but ask further, as she didn't quite understand what this so-called snake aura referred to.

In contrast to her bewilderment, Mei remained remarkably calm.

"You mean Mebius?"

Kiana nodded: "That's right."

"call..."

Mei felt a little annoyed when she heard her mention Mebius, after all, this Englishman was really hard to fathom.

If Kiana says she's nearby, then it's very likely she is.

And there is a very high probability that they will launch an attack against themselves.

Thinking of this, Mei silently drew her sword and began to survey her surroundings: "Kiana, are you sure where Dr. Mebius is?"

"I haven't reached a conclusion on this matter yet, I just have this feeling, Mei... If I find anything, I'll let you know."

Kiana looked at the black charm and Mei and said this.

"Then I won't force you, but remember to warn me as soon as you find her."

us."

Mei didn't force Kiana.

"Ah."

Mei's understanding and support warmed Kiana's heart, and that was enough; no more words were needed.

"In that case, shall we continue on our way?"

Kiana looked towards the dark town at the end of the town of light and said with high spirits.

Now that we've arrived here following the fairy's guidance, the next step is to defeat the Great Demon King and find a way out, right?

I wonder who I'll encounter next?

Kiana's first thought was Aponia, but after a moment's thought, she realized it was unlikely.

After all, given her near-omniscient and omnipotent nature, she would most likely stay in her monastery and wait.

Unless fate requires her to go out, she will most likely not leave that place.

So, Mebius?

Also unlikely.

Although this guy seems crazy, he is actually a shrewd strategist with his own opinions.

She is the kind of person who works behind the scenes, and even if you work with her, you can't uncover all her secrets.

So unless absolutely necessary, I probably won't be able to see her.

That...

"It can't be a thousand tribulations, can it?"

Kiana thought to herself, half-jokingly.

Of course, this conjecture is not without basis.

After all, Qianjie's style is the simplest, most direct, and most straightforward among the heroes.

However, the prerequisite for meeting him is that he happens to meet us.

"Thinking about it carefully, the probability is really too low, haha..."

Kiana smiled and then strode into the dark town.

The others followed.

However, just as the group stepped into the dark town, flames suddenly ignited the area in front of them.

"What's going on? Could this be a trap set by Mebius?" Mei and Kiana exclaimed in unison.

However, Mebius himself, hiding in the shadows, was utterly speechless.

"Tsk, do you guys have some kind of prejudice against me? Would I set such a childish and rude trap?"

And come on, this is fire!

If you're going to use something, shouldn't you use something toxic or high-tech? Why would you use something so primitive and disgusting!

Mebius muttered a few complaints to himself, then calmed down and began to analyze the cause of the firelight.

After a moment, she came to a conclusion.

"That guy Qianjie, he wandered in here in a daze?"

As if to confirm Mebius's conjecture, Qianjie quickly appeared before Kiana and the others, stepping on flames.

"Phew...hey, I thought it was someone else, but it's Qianjie?"

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qianjie.

Although she disliked people who were obsessed with war, she was well aware of their character.

Although his behavior can be described as arrogant, he is still a relatively easy person to get along with.

Kiana thought to herself.

Unfortunately, she forgot that the Thousand Tribulations before her was Mei's Thousand Tribulations from her time in the Paradise of the Past.

Therefore, to him, she was a complete stranger.

It can even be used as the ultimate target for hunting down Herrschers...

"Oh? I thought Mebius was here, but I didn't expect to run into you? Herrscher!"

Qian Jie took a step forward, and waves of flames spread out from him.

Everyone felt uncomfortable as they bumped into the raging waves.

This is the power of the fusion warriors, and also a pre-battle provocation.

It's safe to say that even if it doesn't have much of an impact, Qianjie's rudeness would still make people angry.

The most typical example is Black Symbol: "Just say what you want to say, don't spew fire randomly, are you some kind of human volcano?"

It has to be said that black talismans always bring joy to everyone.

Kiana and the other two, including Mebius, who was Yingjie's partner, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

A human-shaped volcano...that's a really apt metaphor.

After all, if Qianjie were to launch a full-scale attack, the damage it would cause would be no less than that of a volcano.

"What are you babbling about? Herrscher, you and your Herrscher friends both inspire me to fight."

Qianjie took another step.

Kiana wasn't going to let him get away with it this time. She immediately used the power of the gem to send the flames soaring into the sky.

Amidst the swirling, waterfall-like waves of heat.

Qianjie beckoned to the crowd.

His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if he would dare to be so arrogant even in the face of the end.

"Humph..."

Kiana snorted coldly. Although she didn't particularly like this guy, she didn't harbor much malice towards him either. But now, his repeated provocations were really annoying.

"As expected of my opponent, he is indeed quite interesting."

Qianjie looked at Kiana with a wicked smile on his face, but his words were full of sarcasm.
