Sakura had already walked away, but Ming was still hesitating. The boy who was thrown out by Xia Jia stood aside and pulled Ming's sleeve: "Let's go."

"Why?!"

In front of Ming's eyes was a determined figure shrouded in flames, as if he was refuting his companions, or questioning Xia Jia.

Xia Jia did not look back. In front of him, there was only a sea of ​​fire that could devour people at any time, and monsters that kept roaring.

"why?"

Xia Jia didn't turn around, but lowered his head and asked softly.

He was also asking himself, why? Could he run?

can.

As long as these wounded were left behind, how could a few logs stop Xia Jia, who was almost as powerful as level 2? The obstacle in front of him was just a reason for him to stay.

But why did he stay?

Is he afraid of death?

afraid.

Not afraid either.

"I am a reincarnated person, and the world has given me a second life. So I choose to pursue the mystery I desire. I already know that behind the mystery, there is not a dragon arrogant and a harem of beauties, but a huge risk."

"I didn't hit the dump truck because I knew the probability of crossing over was low, and it would be a bit stupid to do so. But now that I have crossed over, there is no need to be timid."

"Every moment of my life now, I am living the life I always dreamed of! Including now!"

Then, if you ask yourself why you made this choice now...

I promised Jian Yulei that I would take care of them, so this is one of the reasons.

The other one is...

Xia Jia raised his head, his eyes were extremely determined, he tore open his collar, held a pendant in his hand, and said loudly:

"Does that need to be said?"

"Because I am from the Astraea family!"

Ming was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, a burst of starlight filled Xia Jia's body, and his hand holding the pendant became tighter and tighter.

"Well, you know what? My predecessors, my goddess, they have created so many great achievements for this world and for the labyrinth city.

How many people did they rescue?

Even now, the world still hasn’t forgotten their figures, and there are still people who call out the goddess’ name when they are in despair.”

"So do you understand? Life. The moment the sword and wings of justice were engraved on my back, I bore everything they had!"

Xia Jia laughed loudly: "I can be lustful, I can be arrogant, I can be lazy. I can use all means to achieve my ambitions. But there is one thing, when someone is in danger in front of me, I will never stand by and watch, or be perfunctory!"

"The only thing I cannot do is to disgrace the glory of the Astralia family that was established by our predecessors with their lives!"

Xia Jia pulled off the family badge of the previous leader from his neck and raised it high above his head.

The silver emblem shines as dazzlingly as red gold in the sunset and firelight.

Ming's eyes were moist. Even in the Far East, she had heard of the great name of the Astralia clan, but she was not moved at first. At this moment, when she really faced them in person, she suddenly realized what kind of people they were.

Ming seemed to see the shadows of 10 heroes, gathered around Xia Jia, and the flag representing justice was fluttering in the fire.

His sacrifice cannot be in vain!

Tears gradually blurred his eyes, and Ming's steps began to move. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and ran, pulling his companions.

Shaga smiled.

Face monsters that have fallen into madness without fear.

He held the family emblem tightly and chanted loudly:

"Make a wish in the name of Astraea. Maiden of the stars, guardian of the scales. Answer my voice and descend here."

"The bond of connection, the contract of inheritance, is like galloping through the sky, embellishing the earth with the footprints of stars."

"Stars, come to me!"

Golden light emerged from the clan emblem and slowly merged into Xia Jia's body.

The next second, spots of starlight surrounded his body, and the clan emblem composed of sacred words appeared under his feet.

A shadow of a girl with the same red hair as Xia Jia slowly hugged Xia Jia.

The flames danced on the ends of Xia Jia's hair little by little, and the golden tassels surged with the heat waves. The sea of ​​fire was no longer scorching, and the air was no longer turbid. Xia Jia seemed to have become part of the fire.

At this moment, the faces of the two leaders from the past and present overlap!

Xia Jia opened his eyes and called out the memory, [her name]

"Chickweed!"

Chapter 40: Chickweed

Stars of fire rose up from Shaka's armor, clothes, and hair, echoing the surrounding forest fire.

Then, the flames ignited Xia Jia's body, and he looked like a god of war bathed in flames.

The air was no longer turbid, his skin no longer felt hot, and he was standing in the scorched rock hell as if it were flat ground.

As the flames rose, strength gradually emerged from the body.

The monsters that were forced out by the sea of ​​fire and fleeing in panic also set their sights on Xia Jia. They realized that if they didn't defeat this guy in front of them, they would not be able to escape the sea of ​​fire behind them.

At the same time, the monsters' instinct to wipe out humans was activated in their genes, and they rushed towards Shaga like crazy.

"Roar--"

"Moo-"

"Meow--"

Bergbear, Minotaur, Cerberus, dozens of monsters emerged from the sea of ​​fire and launched a general attack on Shaga.

"Come on, beasts. I declare that from now on, this road... is open to all."

Red light flowed in Xia Jia's eyes, the "zone" state was activated, and flames burst out on his body. As he leaned forward, a shallow pit was stepped out in the soil under his feet, and the distance between us and the enemy was reduced to zero in an instant.

Xia Jia rushed out against the sea of ​​fire, raised his axe and chopped off the head of a Berg bear.

The monsters that followed were not afraid at all. There was fire behind them and prey in front of them. Every beast knew what to choose.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xia Jia's knife fell, three Berg bears jumped up, their sharp claws popped out from their pads, and they tore from three different directions.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Xia Jia leaned forward on one leg to stop the charge, turned his waist, and the short axe accurately drew a red line of fire in the air.

The fire grew against the wind, and the scorching heat instantly ignited the three weakened Bergbears.

Bang bang bang bang, in just three seconds, the four monsters turned into black gray and disappeared.

[Red Flower Chickweed] is an additional magic of flame. Although there is no clear ability value bonus, the advancement of flame can obtain a short-term [super acceleration]. The attachment of flame can also maximize the attack.

The monsters continued to come one after another. Xia Jia's legs were wrapped in flames, and his figure turned into a red track and jumped in the sea of ​​fire.

"The fifth one..., the sixth one..."

"Seventh...hmm."

After the red trail flashed for the seventh time, it suddenly jammed. The horns of the giant Minotaur suddenly appeared in front of Shaka.

The battle axe swept across, and the high temperature of the flame melted the bull's horn. However, the battle-hardened battle axe also shattered at this moment.

That is not the [First Level Adventurer Armor], it is just the masterpiece of Cecil at level 1, just a high-performance blank.

Enduring the infusion of flames and the impact of the horn of the level 2 bull, its mission ended at this moment.

Weapon damage during battle is fatal, as it means your attack will be interrupted and your subsequent plan will have fatal loopholes.

"Misstep."

The head of the bull hit his chest, his armor was dented and shattered, the air between his chest and abdomen was squeezed out in an instant, and a burning sensation surged into his throat. The moment his body fell, he was hit by a bull hoof as big as a sandbag and flew backwards.

Xia Jia crossed his hands to protect his vital parts, but was still blown dozens of meters away by the fierce bull. After knocking down two or three burning trees, he slowly slid down the rocks.

He felt severe pain all over his body and suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood. He felt his internal organs churning.

The monsters would not wait for Shaga to recover. Four or five hellhounds leaped up, with flaming fangs embedded in Shaga's armor.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Sharp teeth tore through the flesh, flames burned the wounds, and the aroma of meat was released.

Xia Jia took a deep breath, ignited flames with his five fingers, and pinched the throats of the hellhounds. His fingers dug into the flesh, crushing the bones of the three hellhounds like tofu, and pulled them off his body.

Before Xia Jia could catch his breath, the ferocious bull came running towards him, raising its two sturdy hooves that were so big that a man had to hold them together, and hammered down with all its might.

Having just escaped from the bite of the hounds, Xia Jia immediately jumped to the left and rolled down the mountain road.

The earth rumbled as the four-meter-tall giant minotaur struck with all its strength, creating a dent in the two-meter-wide ground around it.

“Moooooooooooooooo——”

After missing the target, the bull roared to the sky. The high-decibel sound made Xia Jia dizzy and bleeding from the mouth and nose.

My hearing is deteriorating and my ears are full of buzzing sounds.

The vision began to blur, and only the black shadow of the giant minotaur was left, swaying in the firelight.

Xia Jia struggled to get up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Ha.” He sneered, “Come on, come on! Let’s see who can leave here standing in the end!”

Red flames burst out from his entire body, swaying and leaping like a final burst of madness.

Xia Jia did not retreat but advanced, the flames under his feet pushed forward, the red trajectory passed through the air, Mengniu also grabbed the dead wood beside him, roared angrily and swung it down at Xia Jia who was coming towards him.

“Ugh!”

Xia Jia did not dodge or evade. He punched the dead tree with his flaming fist. The huge tree was split into two and exploded into countless wood chips.

"Ola Ola Ola~!"

Xia Jia's momentum remained undiminished, and he unleashed straight punches, elbow strikes, and side kicks, landing crazy attacks on the giant bull.

Mengniu was not willing to be outdone. After fighting with Xia Jia for dozens of minutes, he used force to block Xia Jia's punch and headbutted Xia Jia, sending him flying several meters away.

Xia Jia rolled a few times on the ground, ignoring the screams from his bones, and rushed out again with empty and numb eyes.

His speed increased, a strange aura blossomed around him, his skills were improving, and with every punch, Xia Jia seemed to be able to double his strength and speed in return.

If Xia Jia still had his sanity, he would definitely find out that this was the first door to a new realm, the [realm of no self], which he had failed to cross countless times.

——【The Ultimate of Thousands of Hammers】

That was a terrifying technique that doubled speed and strength by consuming a large amount of physical strength. It was neither a [skill] nor [magic]. Like [zone], it was simply the limit of a [skill].

Xia Jia swung his fists and feet, borrowing the enormous force of the bull and doubling the feedback.

The fierce bull gradually became unaware that the flames around it were becoming more and more intense. The forest fire had arrived and the oxygen in the air was no longer sufficient to support its huge body.

"Your body is rusting!"

Xia Jia seized the opportunity and his fist was ignited with flames.

"One Hundred Fourteen Styles: Wild Bite!"

"Nine injuries!"

"Eight!"

Burning flames spewed out of his fists, and three consecutive hits knocked the giant bull to the ground. Then he jumped up, put his hands together and followed up with another [Outer Style: Naraku Fall].

Ignoring the bull's struggle, Xia Jia knelt on the bull, and his flaming ten fingers frantically tore at the bull's skin.

When he was about to run out of strength, he grabbed the bull's neck with both hands and roared hoarsely:

"Yanhua!"

As the detonation spell came out, flames exploded around Shaka's body. The fire column enveloped Shaka and the bull, blowing away everything around them.
