64 Chapter - Frozen Cave
The space inside the cave was larger than expected, and surprisingly, it wasn't completely dark.
Bai Cheng stood inside the cave entrance; before her was a hallway extending inward, where cold wind whistled through, stirring up ice crystals and snowflakes from the ground to form a mist that covered the entire floor.
The dazzling white light behind her illuminated a small area at her feet, while at the end of the hallway, an orange-yellow glow flickered intermittently.
Bai Cheng was startled, and she first turned around cautiously to look behind her.
She discovered that the source of the white light was not an object, but the cave entrance itself, as if sunlight was spilling in from outside the cave.
"But it's clearly night outside the cave?" Bai Cheng was somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be a system-mandated exit reminder?"
As she pondered, the cave entrance suddenly flickered, and Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion)'s figure instantly entered.
Seeing that the surrounding environment held no danger, he finally relaxed: "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Bai Cheng's gaze returned to the end of the hallway, "There's a fire light there."
Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) voluntarily stepped forward: "Miss, please follow behind me."
The hallway was wide but narrow and winding, not a straight line.
Soon, the two rounded a curved bend and saw the light source at the end.
They were two metal sconces embedded in the ice on both sides, the fuel added to them was unknown, emitting black smoke and a foul stench.
Due to the wind from the cave entrance, the flames constantly flickered and danced.
And blocking Bai Cheng and Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion)'s path was an arched red wooden door.
"This is..."
Looking at the dilapidated door before her, Bai Cheng suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if pushing it open would mean challenging a BOSS.
And since it was loot, it should probably be a drop from killing something, right?
She rubbed her chin, muttering: "If it really is like this, things will be simple."
"Miss, there's a very strange aura on this, making it impossible for your subordinate to sense what's behind the door." Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) said with a frown.
In this world, building something like a door was clearly the work of intelligent beings.
And as is well known, the individual strength of group-dwelling magical beasts is generally relatively weak.
Bai Cheng immediately said in a low voice: "Just smash it!"
This time, Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) held nothing back, ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) raising his right fist, accumulating power, and then blasting it out, a magnificent crimson flame forming a vortex and gushing forward.
The rolling flames almost occupied the entire passage, then instantly engulfed everything in front of them.
The wooden door obstructing them was no exception, turning into ashes in an instant.
Boom—!
The flames exploded, echoing within the hollow rock wall; behind the door seemed to be a very large, empty room.
Bai Cheng, standing behind Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion), covered her face to shield herself from the heatwave, her eyes narrowing: "They should all be dead now, right?"
Even in the snowy mountains, she didn't believe any magical beast could be a match for Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) at this stage.
However, the other party was still on guard, could it be...
"How dare you!"
A hoarse voice suddenly echoed out.
Immediately after, several blue fireballs came from the darkness, striking directly at the two of them.
Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) was prepared, and with one punch, he shattered the fireball in front of him.
This level of attack had no effect on him, and his massive body also kept Bai Cheng behind him completely unharmed.
However, after sensing this aura, Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) also said with some surprise: "Miss, this fellow has a human aura."
"Kill him."
"Yes!"
Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) charged up and instantly rushed out.
Since it was a human, the opponent could only be an Infinite Marauders, and Bai Cheng had long lost interest in them.
Soon, muffled sounds of combat came, and she walked forward with a frown.
It turned out that the space behind the door was not only large but also extended in all directions, leading who knew where.
At this moment, Bai Cheng found Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) fighting a hunched figure in a red robe.
Although most of the opponent's features were obscured, from his exposed limbs, she noticed that his body was covered in white fur.
And even though he was hunched, his height exceeded two meters, even a head taller than Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion).
Furthermore, every move he made created a claw mark in mid-air, as if tearing space, and burning with blue flames.
But he was clearly not Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion)'s match in terms of strength, being repelled almost every time they collided.
The vast crimson flames instantly devoured the blue flames, and in a blink of an eye, he was already cornered.
His voice was hoarse, but it revealed a shock: "Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion)? Weren't they wiped out long ago!"
He suddenly looked up, and Bai Cheng, not far away, instantly constricted her pupils.
That was not a human at all; he had a wolf's face!
But Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) wouldn't answer the other party's words; he immediately followed with another punch, intending to directly suppress and kill the opponent.
However, at this moment, the werewolf suddenly transformed into a black whirlwind and then escaped into a side passage.
Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) intended to pursue, but rustling sounds came, and then he saw a pack of wolves made of black mud rushing towards him from the passage.
"Roar!"
A lion's roar echoed, and the attacking black wolves instantly turned back into black mud, scattering across the ground.
"Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion), what was that thing?" Bai Cheng couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously upon seeing this.
This was the first time she had seen a magical beast that could make Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) fight for so long.
"Miss, he has the aura of both humans and a certain wolf tribe," Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) said with a frown, "Your subordinate is also unsure what that thing truly is."
"You don't know either?" Bai Cheng was even more puzzled; could this be the BOSS the system had set behind the door?
"Miss, this is an elite-level magical beast."
After speaking, Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) stood at the entrance of the path the opponent had just escaped from and carefully sensed it, "The path ahead is a dead end; he can't escape."
"Elite-level, huh."
Bai Cheng made a decisive choice and immediately pursued with Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion).
Although she hadn't figured out why, as a pack animal, there were no companions of the magical wolf here, and its individual strength was ridiculously strong.
The most important thing was that the opponent was not only humanoid and intelligent but could also manipulate flames; there were simply too many suspicious points.
Bai Cheng and Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion) rushed into the passage and pursued, passing through the narrow, artificially constructed passage, at the end of which was an incredibly spacious hall.
At this moment, the werewolf was standing in the center, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
And at his feet was a raised, irregularly shaped stone.
He stood atop it, his crimson eyes staring down at the intruding Bai Cheng and Chiyan Moshishi (Crimson Flame Demon Lion).
He said nothing, merely silently took out a crystal, then let it drop.
And at the moment the crystal touched the boulder, the entire space suddenly began to vibrate violently.
