Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

I feel like it's about to explode. Normally, the power of a star soul doesn't flow like this."

Starlight appeared beside the girl, and Anna landed on the ground again in the form of a little girl.

The Earth Serpent said, "The star soul is wailing in pain."

"The previous speculation was correct. Because the Star Soul was out of shape, its power erupted, causing lava to engulf the Lupus Island Nation."

Leon said to Zoe and Anna, "Can you feel why it became like this?"

"There's a prickly thing inside..."

"It's hard to see the details, but there's something attached to its core."

Zoe had trouble organizing the language, so Anna helped to make it clear for her.

Chi Chi!

Smoke was coming out from under Li Ang's feet. The place where everyone was standing was extremely hot, and it became even more extreme because of the appearance of the Star Soul. Fire reappeared under the originally black and hard lava.

"Go to a place with lower temperature first."

Leon asked everyone to ride on Salamander and move forward.

The direction he chose was naturally the location where the rocket was launched.

On the way, the girls on the shore who couldn't see the battlefield clearly asked the first question.

"Where did that monster go?" Andasu said. At their height, they could only see steam. Only by raising their heads could they see a little bit of the huge monster's head. Leon and Zoe appeared and disappeared in the steam.

"Diving away."

"Why do fire monsters dive?" Dorothy complained.

"I guess the island is in a state of disrepair too."

Li Ang analyzed that since the Molten Mountain Star Soul chose to live here, it means that there is a powerful volcanic force under the ground here.

But in the past, the existence of the Star Soul was actually a good thing. It was like a volcano itself. It had consciousness and could control the volcano so that it would not erupt randomly and cause damage.

Perhaps it was because of the hot springs and warm and suitable climate that the Lupus people established their country on this island, which prospered until sixty years ago and even became a resort for a time.

But the Molten Mountain Star Soul lost control, and the originally beautiful natural environment was reversed into a doomsday that destroyed everything.

"The uncontrolled lava is rushing inside the island, breaking through the rock layers and tearing the island apart. Even under the inland sea, it's the same. Haven't we seen it since we landed on the island? The entire inland sea seems to be boiling. Its lava can reach the heart of the island directly from below," said Li Ang.

"We dive? Use our water-attribute equipment? Leon expected this!" Zoe said hurriedly.

"Of course not," Li Ang poked her head, "You'd be scalded to death if you did. I wouldn't expect that."

The Salamanders climbed over a statue of a god. Leon had an impression of the god's appearance. It was the goddess from the Ox-Horned Tribe that he had seen the most along the way.

"Stop." Leon asked the fire-feathered lizards to stop.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked immediately.

"Look at this statue."

This collapsed statue is the largest statue of the Horned Goddess ever seen. It is also the most richly decorated. Even covered in volcanic ash, the splendor of the ornaments on her horns cannot be concealed.

Li Ang was a little concerned about her and flew to the base to look for the nameplate.

The girls gathered around, and Alulu was the first to see the information Leon needed.

The holy warrior girl recited the above hymn in a baby voice.

"With the fire of the hearth, I praise you—Hytia, goddess of the forge and hearth, crowned with ox-horns! Your hoof is like a hammer that breaks the heavens, and the sparks it strikes are the birth of the stars. Your breath stirs the fire in the hearth, the blazing womb from which all things are born. The tip of your great horn is the tool that forges civilization, and the knuckle that soothes the domestic hearth. May Lupus be forever illuminated by your glory, and we will celebrate your grace forever."

Alulu raised her head. "This is a goddess beloved by the people of Lupus. She probably controls both the forge and the household stove, both of which are related to fire."

Island gods are not rare in Newbis. No, it should be said that they are very common. Even on an island with few remaining beliefs and a widespread conversion to Watamism, it is possible to find ancient nameless statues in some marginal corners.

According to research by scholars in Ganta City, the prototypes of some island gods are the "Island King", the super monster on the sky island.

These super monsters may still exist in the depths of the island, or they may have migrated away at some unknown time, or been destroyed by other unspeakable forces.

"Master, do you mean that this goddess of forging and furnace, 'Hetia', is the Molten Mountain Star Soul?" Andasu asked.

"That's right. Now that we're facing the pinnacle of madness on the ruins of civilization, we don't need to unravel folklore and mythology like scholars. We can make bold judgments."

Leon stroked the warm rock base. "Judging from the respect the Lupus people have for her, the Molten Mountain Star Soul wasn't originally violent. It's certain that it was that inexplicable force that drove her to this state."

"If we take that thing away, we can cure her, right?" Zoe said hurriedly.

"Whether it's possible or not, we have to do it," Li Ang said.

Combining with the star soul to strengthen Zoe's power is the "main mission" of the Star Flower Brigade. Whether it is healing or hostility, the "thorn" in the body of the Molten Star Soul must be removed.

"The question now is how to find it."

The problem returns to what was discussed when we came to this direction.

"Those deep lava tunnels leading to the ground may have a path leading to its star palace."

Li Ang shook his head: "But that's too troublesome. I brought you here because the power that helped us just now emerged from here..."

"Ah!" Alulu's scream interrupted Li Ang's words.

Xiao Niu pointed to the side, and everyone looked over immediately. On a dome-shaped building that was still in good condition, there was a burning man standing.

It fluttered and wavered like a flame that was about to dissipate at any moment, but it gave people the feeling that it was looking at this side.

Everyone drove Salamander towards the fire man, but saw the fire man pointing in one direction and then disappeared.

390. Spirit of Purgatory

"Then, then, then what is that?"

Andasu's tail stood on end, and she hunched over the saddle of the Fire Feather Lizard, her golden pupils shrunken into a point.

"That's not a ghost." Li Ang told her.

"Except for being made of fire, it's exactly like that!"

Andasu was still in shock, and the others were also a little confused.

"Where does it want us to go?" Dorothy looked in the direction the Fire Man pointed.

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

Zoe pulled the reins without hesitation and rode Salamander forward.

"Let's go."

Li Ang holds the same view.

Since he had never been here before and his exploration of the map was limited, he was still a long way from unlocking the hidden places on the island, and it was hard to say whether the hidden places were related to his two goals.

Lupus Island is a medium-to-large island, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate a vast inland sea. It would take a lot of time to explore it clearly. It is better to follow this fireman who looks the most likely to be close to the target.

The girl in the sky was also surrounded by flames. She must be related to the fire man.

The others had also thought of this, and Zoe even said, "That fire man must have been sent by her!"

Li Ang remained silent, he was more concerned about this strange existence itself.

When he saw Lin Meng seeing the fire man, he didn't have time to open the panel, so he switched to the spiritual vision to take a look.

What he didn't expect was that it possessed a more complex spirituality. It didn't seem like a creature summoned by power, but rather like a ghost.

So, from this perspective, he was considered to have deceived Andasu.

But ordinary ghosts are because some lives have too strong obsessions. After death, the soul still retains the original mode of operation, drawing magic power to form an amorphous spiritual body.

That fire man's power is much stronger than that of an ordinary ghost, which is very unreasonable.

The spirit of obsession can only attract a limited amount of magic power. Among ghost-type monsters, the more powerful ones are not individual individuals, but have similar obsessions. After their spirits are attracted and merged with each other, they bind the powerful magic power and shape themselves into powerful monsters.

In ancient ruins, one can occasionally see powerful monsters formed from the lingering resentment of ancestors who died in disasters. The level of these combined resentments can even exceed level 7, and the high concentration of magic power gathered can even create pure demonic bodies or armor, which are extremely difficult to deal with.

But the fire man just now had a very independent spirit, just like an ordinary person should have.

It's good enough for a spirit of this level to be condensed enough for people to see, it shouldn't be able to form a flaming body.

If it could shoot arrows, it would mean that it could consciously control its magic power, which would be even more inconsistent with a ghost transformed from a spirit of this level.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to say that the fire man is a fire ghost, and from this perspective, Leon has not deceived Andasu.

How could such a thing come into being? Leon searched his mind for past knowledge.

Transforming the physical body into active flames to ensure the connection with the spirit, while achieving a more stable state than ordinary ghosts?

This might be possible, but who would destroy their own body just to transform into an ordinary flame spirit?

If it is a special ghost that is formed involuntarily, then there is an external force involved in the formation process. In this island,

As the group was walking, a fire man appeared in front of them.

It was also standing on a high place, and its blurry face was looking at this side.

Salamander stopped and everyone looked up, waiting for the fire man's further action.

But the fire man just looked at each other without moving.

"Won't it go on showing the way?" whispered Dorothy.

Li Ang narrowed his eyes. At this distance, the system could not lock onto him, but from his spiritual perspective, he could see that the spirit of this fire man was different from the previous one.

"It's not the same one that brought us here."

"What? Something else? What did that girl summon so many for?"

"I don't think it's her summon." Li Ang said.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

As he spoke, sparks appeared from the roofs, alleys, and windows of the nearby ruins, and burning men emerged one after another.

They soon filled the area and surrounded the Star Flower Brigade.

The flames of the firemen conveyed rising magical fluctuations. One alone did not seem to be a big deal, but when they were gathered together, the magical fluctuations were enough to frighten the girls. Even Leon would not underestimate its scale.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Zoe placed her hand on the hilt of her sword with some caution. Dorothy even began to gather ocean bubbles.

The flames flickered, and a fire man swayed and floated high into the sky, waving his arms.

It seemed to say something to other of its kind, and the surrounding flames and magic fluctuations suddenly weakened a lot. Many fire men looked at Leon and his group, and the flames shook a few times and disappeared.

The remaining three fire men made crackling sounds, and in the center of the flames, something seemed to become solid.

"A skeleton?" asked Dorothy, her eyebrows twitching.

Charred human skeletons condensed in the burning flames, and the magical fluctuations on their bodies also increased again.

"That, that is indeed a ghost!"

Andasu was unable to hold Leon who was floating in the air, so she could only bury her face in the saddle, with her big tail wrapped around her waist, not daring to look outside.

After the fire people showed their charred bones, they did not stop. The flames outside gradually subsided and transformed into a liquid texture, condensing into the external outline of their human form.

"Using fire mimicry? They actually have this ability."

Since they had the appearance of humans, Leon found it difficult to regard these fire men as pure monsters.

A certain level of magical control is required to transform the magical fire into a human silhouette.

The three fire girls flew towards the Star Flower Brigade, stopped four or five meters above the crowd, and gestured.
