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

"Because they're friends?" Zoe said.

"The problem is how to become friends. It's not just about chatting or playing together," said Li Ang.

As if to express Leon's thoughts, Anna turned her fingers, driving the miniature Divine Rock Guards to fly around, and then according to her wishes, they returned to her palm and were crushed, returning to the light of the star soul and scattered dust.

Her control over the earth element was so precise that not a speck of dust affected the meal.

"A being with such a profound connection to the Star Soul should be unable to leave its control. This is an... innate characteristic."

Anna said that no matter whether it is the things that make up the main body of the Star Soul or the guards constructed around their power, it is difficult to escape their control. This is also the power of the Star Soul as the ultimate weapon.

"That child is very special, isn't he?" Farina smiled. "Even though we haven't met, I can basically guess this."

It is certainly no exaggeration to say that she is special because she can live alone on the Purgatory Island, but the conclusion we have come to now is that she is not only special in this aspect, she has the ability to prevent the Purgatory Spirit from being controlled by the Molten Star Soul.

"Did you see that? From the very beginning, they kept looking at the Everlasting Summer," said Li Ang.

"Yes." said Andasu.

White Wolf was responsible for everything from steering to stopping the boat, which she discovered when she dropped anchor.

"I don't think they're focused on outsiders like us, because they didn't show up at all when we went looking for that timid girl. As spirits, if they want to hide, it's difficult for us with flesh and blood to find them."

"Leon means that they want us to find that girl?" Zoe asked.

“I feel that way.”

"Why? Do they want her to make living friends? Well, that's probably right."

The chestnut-haired girl scratched her head, paused, and nodded as if she was very sure of her idea.

"But, what if it's the other way around?" Meimei said, "Because she stopped the Star Soul from controlling the Purgatory Spirits, they're influenced by the Star Soul and hope we take her away so they can follow the Star Soul."

She habitually thought of things in the worst possible way, but this was difficult to refute for the time being, because the Spirit of Purgatory was a unique thing that existed because of the Star Soul, and past experience was not applicable.

Judging from the Shenyan guards, her words are more convincing.

"Can't we ask them?"

"I have asked, but I cannot give you the money.

Li Ang shook his head. Although he had expected this, he still looked for those little fire people. They were neither ghosts nor living people, and they could not speak at all. The channel of communication between them was some kind of empathy formed by the connection of the light of the star soul. The gestures with their hands were not sign language, but pure body movements.

"She helped the souls of Purgatory avoid being enslaved, so they are grateful to her and hope that she can live a normal life." Alulu suddenly said.

Seeing everyone's gazes, she smiled sheepishly: "I'd rather think positively about things. It's because of you that I was able to move on from my past life..."

“If that is the case, why doesn’t she want to leave the island and see anyone else?” said Dorothy.

"You're a coward," said Zoe.

"We all know that."

Indeed, although everyone had seen with their own eyes that this relative of Mort Duleger was as cowardly as a mouse, there still seemed to be something strange about him.

At her doorstep, she only expressed that she didn't want to show up, but didn't say why she didn't want to leave.

Just resisting, but not understanding the reason for resistance.

But she was still decisive when helping Zoe, and joined forces with the spirits of Purgatory to throw a rain of flaming arrows.

Leon took out an object, which was a box slightly larger than his palm.

　"What is this box?"

"Mott gave it to me."

"What's inside?" The girls leaned over. The pattern and decoration of the box were consistent with the style of the Lupus box they had seen along the way.

"I still do not know yet."

Li Ang recalled the conversation and told it to the girls.

You must open the box after meeting her and persuading her, preferably when she is already interested but has not yet made up her mind. This will have the best effect. - Mott said so.

"Why so secretive?" said Zoe.

"Yeah, that's what I said to him at that time." Li Ang laughed.

You will know why when the time comes. All I can say is that you must follow this process to maximize the success rate.

"Why should I open it only when we meet? What will happen if I open it in advance?" Zoe was puzzled. She couldn't figure it out at all.

Farina pinched her chin and thought, "Perhaps this thing can help us persuade her, but if we know in advance, the help will become a burden."

What could have caused this? This aroused the girls' curiosity, and for a moment this question overshadowed the girl's reluctance to leave the island.

The Dragon Witch smiled and said, "I think so. It's mainly because I think Mort's starting point is his own experience, so he specifically reminded us of this."

Since she had asked the sword and shield mercenary to protect her for a period of time, Farina had some understanding of his character.

"He took the things in the box, thinking they were a sure thing, but it actually had the opposite effect, causing him to reflect that he should have persuaded the girl before taking them out?"

"Maybe."

Li Ang put the box away: "We'll know when the time comes. I took it out mainly to say that we have to meet her no matter what."

"The mission will definitely fail if we break into her house. Should we wait until she leaves?" Alulu said.

"She'll come out when she's hungry, right?" Zoe said.

"Not necessarily," Andasu shook her head. "In a harsh environment, she should always have food stored. For example, in the Flashing Fields, our Sand Beast Gang also always has emergency food."

"We definitely can't just wait around, what if she's just wasting time?"

Although he didn't understand why the other party was unwilling to open the door, this was no longer a simple request from a friend, because the girl was also related to the issue of Star Soul.

Even though the Molten Mountain Star Soul was in a strange state and its power was weaker than that of the Lei Xiao Star Soul which was in better condition, it was still a star soul after all, so it would be bad to act rashly without knowing the situation clearly.

Given that the girl and the Spirit of Purgatory have been fighting against the Star Soul on the island for years, in order to better solve the problem of the Molten Mountain Star Soul, it is necessary to communicate with her.

Hey, Mott, you see that I can calm down four troubled girls, so you think I can solve this problem?

I hope the reward you mentioned is really worth the headache.

The reward is related to the girl herself - Leon didn't quite understand this. Mott was more serious and wouldn't be the kind of person who would say "the reward is herself".

He still remembered Mott's last words: "Come to my house sometime. My grandmother makes great layered butter pancakes."

Since you mentioned your family, you must be entrusting this to someone seriously.

"Zoe, I'll be sorry to see you through this later."

The girl who was gnawing on a large bone nodded, without any doubt about Leon.

"It's up to you to draw out the Molten Mountain Star Soul."

"What?" Meimei said, "You want her to face the rioting Star Soul? Have you considered the consequences?"

Li Ang understood her subtext and responded briefly: "Young seedlings that are not exposed to wind and rain are bound to be more easily destroyed."

He could feel from the mind connection that Anna had understood his thoughts. At the beginning, she wanted to devour the "Star Soul Greenhouse" at all costs. If it was the molten star soul in pain and riot, she would be needed even more to restore its strength.

"I will be responsible for repelling the attack of the Star Soul."

"That's easy to say. We don't have any other reinforcements right now. We only have your adventuring group that has just started."

"We are not adventurers with only our own bodies anymore. We have combat airships."

Li Ang stroked the hull of the Eternal Summer and said, "It collided with the Annihilation Star Soul before, so it's no big deal if it hits the Molten Mountain Star Soul now."

“Besides, we’re not going to fight to the death. We’re just trying to lure the target out and see if its riot will have any impact on the Purgatory Spirit and the girl.

"My own opinion is that it definitely had an impact. She was so proactive in confronting Xinghun, so there must be objective factors involved. I want to figure it out so that I can intervene."

Next, Li Ang discussed and worked out the specific details with the team members, and the day was spent in the same way, with the action scheduled for around 10 a.m. on the first day.

As they had been active in the hot environment all day, no one came to see him at night under any pretext. After a good night's sleep, everyone gathered on the deck on the first day, refreshed and refreshed.

"Didn't he come out?" Leon asked Anna and Livy.

The Dragon Twins are monsters, and their daily routines are completely different from those of humans, so Leon asked them to keep an eye on the timid girl's hut at night to see if she would come out at night.

"No," Livy pouted. "I don't know what's so good about this island. Why don't you want to leave? It must have been beautiful before. Living in this inland sea must have been very comfortable, but now all the creatures in it must have been boiled to death."

"The spirits in Purgatory don't sleep either, and they often look in our direction," said Anna.

They placed certain hopes on the Star Flower Troupe. Leon was almost certain of that.

But more doubts need to be resolved

"Well, let's get started and weigh anchor."

At Leon's instruction, Andasu started the Eternal Summer engine, and the large airship flew away from the Temple Hill and arrived over Atami.

The deck of the Eternal Summer was put into combat readiness, with irrelevant items cleared away to create a flat space, and fixed devices connected to facilitate the girls securing themselves in the event of an impact.

Leon put on wind armor for himself and Zoe, and left the airship with Farina riding a flying dragon, approaching the sea.

"let's start."

"Ah."

After so many adventures, connecting with the power of the Star Soul, and summoning Bahamut, Zoe has basically figured out how to use the connection between herself and the Star Soul.

She closed her eyes and meditated. Soon, a faint divine light appeared on the surface of her body. Her body became ethereal, which was the first step before her transformation. However, she lacked the "reality" to fill this emptiness.

That is the power of Star Soul.

After maintaining this state for a while, Anna on the deck began to breathe rapidly. Instinctively, she wanted to plunder the defenseless Son of God who was actively releasing his power.

Soon, changes occurred in Atami.

Beneath the steam-rising sea surface, a faint red light appeared, and a giant beast broke through the water, howling and appearing, bringing high temperatures.

Fires flickered on the shore, and the spirits in purgatory kept jumping. It did not look subjective, but rather a bit like "ants on a hot pan", as if they were feeling uneasy and in pain.

393. Beast Ear Archer

The previous confrontation filled the sky above the hot sea with steam, and now the giant bull appearance of the Molten Mountain Star Soul can be seen more clearly.

It looked like a giant god cast in bronze, covered in heavy armor engraved with animal patterns. Only a small part of its body and head was not armored, and its dark red fur could be seen.

If it were in its prime, it would have been an extremely majestic divine bull, but pain distorted its appearance, and blood as hot as lava flowed from its cracked skin, sticking its fur into a ball.

The outlines of Xinghun's pupils became blurred, and violent power surged from them. The blurred edges were actually because his eyes were almost melted by the hot blood rushing out of his body.

Leon couldn't confirm whether these eyes were still working, but their magic power was already locked onto Zoe.

"Sa Li."

Leon asked the girl to hide behind him, and immediately entered into a state of mental transcendence, summoning the dragon statue of Leviathan.

Livi's eyes in the distance lit up, and she turned into a stream of water, merging with the statue.

"Leon Leon, I'm going!"

As agreed, facing an enemy with explosive fire power, we chose the Water Vanguard to restrain it.

Although Livy didn't like it, the scalding water was still under her control. The beautiful sea snake swam forward, and the surrounding mist turned into ribbons around its body. The waves on the water surface rolled up and formed a waterspout over the inland sea.

Silver light appeared behind him, and Meimei, dressed in water fairy costume, came from the side, stepping on the waves. As the darling of water, she can fight in the air by generating water waves.

She activated her magic power, and the power of the suit enveloped her petite body, forming a water phantom composed entirely of flowing water with a graceful figure. She was the image of the legendary water fairy. The ribbons around her were not decorations, but water streams that could change freely and switch between defense and weapons.

Although Purgatory Island is full of violent fire elements, the existence of the inner sea ensures the use of water elements.

The sea dragon and the water fairy dispersed the steam and fought with the star soul.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the thing on the chest of the Molten Mountain Star Soul also appeared.

A huge wound stretched across the entire chest, and the bronze armor broke at the incision. The wound could heal quickly with the support of the Star Soul Light, but there was a fatal thorn inside that constantly obstructed it, causing the area around the wound to fester like a malignant inflammation.

Li Ang strengthened his vision and saw that there were sharp bloody thorns in the wound that was oozing pus and blood.

Is it a devil?

Did a blood-red demon attack the Molten Mountain Star Soul, causing it to fall into pain that it could not heal itself?

The thorn was hidden too deep, and as Xinghun moved, it quickly disappeared under the wound, making it difficult to see clearly.

We can probably see some of it here, but for now we have to focus on the Spirit of Purgatory and the Timid Girl.

Leviathan and Meimei had no problem holding back the Molten Mountain Star Soul. Leon flew to the edge of the battlefield and looked at the shore. The spirits of Purgatory had been restless since the beginning. They had lost the demeanor of strolling peacefully in the city. Their bodies melted, revealing flames wrapped around charred bones.

Among the ruins, groups of charred bones surrounded by flames jumped and ran, which really looked like a wave of undead.

Li Ang switched his spiritual vision and saw the spiritual threads connecting their bodies.
