Li Re, who was watching from afar, made such an evaluation with his hands hanging down. Although he intended to take action, he would only do so when it was necessary. Now was obviously not the right time, and he naturally had the leisure to stay here and "watch the show".

Take a look and observe first.

Starting from the shallow to the deep is the most correct way to explore!

"Ah."

Lu Baixi, still wearing a cloak and a hood, leaned behind Li Re and blinked. The girl with glasses followed Li Re's gaze and looked at the tall knight who was confronting the monster, and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

"That monster..."

"It's a bit like 'Ghost Story', right?" Li Re knew what the girl was thinking. The girl who controlled the 'Ghost Story Amusement Park Copy' was obviously very sensitive to such existence.

but...

"There are no ghost stories in this world. That thing is not so much a ghost story as it is a 'mysterious' condensation similar to a ghost story."

Li Re explained casually, "In the system of Paradise, the supernatural and the mysterious are two very similar systems. Both are based on the 'unknown'. The ghost story is made up of pure supernatural things, and so is that thing. It's normal for you to feel like it - but compared to the 'weird and weird' of the supernatural that goes beyond common sense, the mysterious is more inclined to the 'unknown' within logic."

"In other words...mystery can be fought with logic!"

Just like water coming and covering it with soil.

For example, water can extinguish fire.

For example - the extremely high temperature can evaporate all the sewage!

That is exactly how the Crucible Knight fights against the 'Ichor of the Abyss' at this moment. In this scene, apart from the players, he is the only one who can do this.

As Li Re finished speaking.

Lu Baixi looked up again and saw that the steam rising around the Furnace Knight was becoming more and more diffuse, and even began to emit a fiery red aura. The heavy armor seemed to be breathing, and as the air flowed out, the iron shell, which was originally reddish-brown, really began to transform into a fiery color.

The Crucible Knight, a knight like a furnace -

These words flashed through the girl's mind.

'interesting. ’

The 'Lu Baixi' in her mind also made such an evaluation.

next second!

With a bang, the Crucible Knight raised the huge sword in one hand and hung it above the shield. It was like a furnace, but more like a huge fire wheel. He took a step forward and rushed forward!

The pus bubbles from the abyss rolled, and the dark monster that was facing the knight's charge, its fluid-like body, began to twist violently. The bubbles on its body surface gurgled and burst more and more rapidly, and countless black and rotten sewage splashed out of it, as if thousands of tentacles stretched out in an instant to grab the furnace knight through the air.

However, the residual light of the furnace only flashed in the air, and those "tentacles" shattered and broke, mixing with the flowing water mist, as if to dye the air black as well.

Shattered! Torn!

Boom!

The Crucible Knight broke through the layers of sewage and approached the Abyss Pus, and at the same time, the heavy sword that was raised up suddenly fell down!

Gurgle...Gurgle...

The last bubble bloomed and disappeared.

The last bit of sewage is also directly evaporated and gasified by the extremely high temperature.

Won.

The people on the high wall held their breath and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Although the Crucible Knight had behaved like a god of war from the beginning, they couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts when they saw the horrifying appearance of the Ichor of the Abyss.

But it's okay.

It turns out that the Crucible Knights are worthy of being the defenders of the high walls.

Even a monster among monsters like the Abyss Ichor will be defeated by it!

"I've decided. I will work hard to become a Crucible Knight in the future!" A new recruit suddenly became excited with a burning look in his eyes!

The old soldiers next to them looked at each other, relaxed for a moment and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" The recruit was stunned.

"No, nothing." One of the veterans shook the whip in his hand that was used to drive the giant and smiled: "I just think it's great that young people have ambitions."

"Do you know how many people were selected as the reserve for the Crucible Knights back then? And how many people succeeded in becoming Crucible Knights in the end?"

"How much?" The new recruits really don't know these things.

"At that time, there were 800 reserve Crucible Knights, each of whom was the most valiant and skilled warrior in Crucible City. But in the end, only 12 of them succeeded in becoming Crucible Knights!"

Eight hundred to twelve.

No.

Or should I say, one in ten thousand!

After all, to be selected as a reserve Crucible Knight, one must have gone through a thorough screening process.

From this perspective, Furnace Knights are even rarer than Fire Mages who manipulate flames!

The recruit was silent for a moment. Although he was overwhelmed by the excitement for a moment, after calming down, he realized that he was not a very talented person.

"Forge Knight... I never thought that after we left, the humans in this world have become so powerful!"

Lu Baixi in the corner couldn't help but sigh. She had not forgotten the way people huddled in their tents and struggled to survive in that camp.

"It's really powerful, but it's a pity that there is no future." Li Re grinned: "The Crucible Knight gains promotion at the cost of his life - the body cast by iron and fire is indeed powerful, but it no longer has the possibility of evolution."

"Of course, such a small price is nothing to them... In a world on the brink of the abyss, prosperity is only superficial. Crisis will always come, and survival is the top priority."

“Just like now!”

"He looked like he had won, and in fact he had won—at the cost of instantly raising his body temperature and wasting most of his energy."

"but--"

"The enemy is far more than just this!"

Gululu.

The sound of bubbles bursting could be heard again in the darkness.

The sound echoed between heaven and earth like an explosion. The soldiers and officers on the high wall, who seemed very relaxed and laughing in the previous second, suddenly stopped in the next second.

They turned their heads sharply and looked towards the high wall again.

The Crucible Knight still stood there.

Neither forward nor backward.

There was no sense of victory in that posture.

Instead, it was like facing a formidable enemy - facing a bigger enemy!

The recruits looked confused.

The veterans and officers seemed to have thought of something at the first moment, their faces changed slightly and they looked into the darkness farther away.

Rustling.

Something was dragging closer.

Gurgling.

The sound of bubbles blooming and bursting reappeared.

But this time, it's bigger, more numerous and denser!

The Crucible Knight during this time——finally couldn't help it and retreated!

He took half a step back.

The feedback to the people on the wall is huge.

"The furnace is above...what is that!?" A new recruit fell to the ground in stupor, stunned and horrified.

An old soldier forced himself to raise the whip in his hand, but found that the giant in front of him remained motionless despite his urging.

No, not immobile.

But the fire...is about to go out!

Fire from the furnace.

Fire used to control giants -

What they saw was still the 'Ichor of the Abyss', appearing at the edge illuminated by the firelight, facing the Crucible Knight who could not help but take a half step back.

Just in greater numbers.

The fluid-like monsters piled together really seemed like a torrent that was about to swallow everything.

"How can there be so many?"

The officer was shocked!

With such a number, they simply cannot stop it - even Lord Knight of the Crucible... can't stop it, right?

"Could the rumors be true..."

"I heard from the people who came over from the ruins exploration camp that something is wrong with the world recently - the abyss may be about to experience a second eruption!"

"A riot? Damn it...why would it happen at this time!?"

The soldiers were terrified and angry.

However, the Furnace Knight only took half a step back.

After half a step, he stood still again and raised the shield and sword in his hands again. As a unique warrior selected from thousands of people, he would never retreat.

Even as Li Re who was watching the game said.

Most of the energy in his body has been consumed.

Not to mention facing a group of abyss pus.

Even if I only face one, I can no longer be as relaxed as before.

But even if I die, this is my duty as the 'Guardian of the High Wall'!

He was just about to charge.

It was as if a flash of light suddenly appeared before my eyes - the world illuminated by the fire suddenly became hazy and blurred.

No, it’s not my eyes.

But...it's foggy!

The Crucible Knight was stunned.

A strange fog floated up, as if it appeared out of thin air, and instantly covered the entire high wall inside and outside.

The terrified soldiers and officers on the high wall were also stunned.

The tall Furnace Knight widened his eyes after being stunned for a moment.

He remembered this fog.

He still had an impression of the strange foggy scenery that suddenly enveloped the world.

It was the same thousands of hourglass days ago.

This was also the case before the establishment of the Crucible City.

At that time, the person who brought the first new fire to the furnace fell from the sky.

that time.

Although he was just a child and could only hide in the tent and shiver, he could see through the cracks -

Just then!

As the mist flowed, Li Re, who was standing in the corner of the high wall, stepped up and chuckled, "It's time to take action."

The moment of manifestation before the people.

Time to be the 'hero'.

--arrive!

The sound rises with the wind, and the ghost locks sway.

The ghostly green fire spread out along with the pitch-black iron chains. Li Re, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found the most suitable opportunity to take action!
