Chapter 232 High Priest of the God of Fire
Yan Jin raised his head and looked at Amon with some surprise.
Ice silkworm... wasn't that the million-year-old soul beast he hunted before? Now we are sending people to search... What does this mean? Is it possible that the soul beast is not completely dead and has clone-like abilities? She thought in her mind.
"But captain, isn't your target the Red Lotus Orochi?" Vidal glanced at Yan Jin in confusion.
Amon smiled and replied: "That is Yan Jin's goal, not mine."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Vidal called the housekeeper and ordered: "Notify the major mercenary groups in the city to come to the city lord's mansion tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Master." The butler bowed slightly and then left the hall.
In the evening, Vidal asked the chef to prepare a meal carefully prepared.
"Huh? Vidal, where is your family?" Yan Jin couldn't help but ask when he saw that there were only three of them in the seats.
"Oh, my father went to Earl Lionheart to discuss cooperation. As for the other guys, I rarely dine with them." Vidal answered casually.
Looking at the delicious food, Yan Jin quickly threw the rest aside, grabbed a prawn and gnawed it without a ladylike image.
Amon pulled off a crab leg, tasted it carefully, and commented: "It tastes good."
They stayed in the city lord's mansion for one night.
The next day, Amon handed a thousand-year-quality soul bone to Vidal:
"This is your reward. The cost of hiring people to find the soul beast is also included in it."
Vidal did not refuse, but nodded gratefully.
On the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, in the room of one of Vidal's younger brothers.
The young man with blond hair and dressed in white looked at Amon's leaving back, with a hint of evil flashing in his eyes.
A beautiful woman wearing gold jewelry inlaid with many precious stones and a dark red dress laughed softly:
"Haha, that idiot Vidal didn't report the wanted criminal named by His Majesty Xue Beng immediately, but actually helped him find the soul beast."
"Hmph... Do you really think that your identity as the heir is as stable as a mountain, so you can do whatever you want?" The blond young man smiled sinisterly.
"Hurry up and write a letter, and then send someone... no, send it to Tiandou City in person and explain the situation to His Majesty Xue Beng. You must explain Vidal's crime of colluding with the wanted criminals." said the beautiful woman in a long skirt.
"I understand, mother. I really don't know why Vidal, who has always been shrewd, started to act stupid at this time, unable to distinguish between pros and cons. He is just a destitute duke..."
The blond young man walked out of the room and saw Graylat in a blue trench coat walking towards him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do such stupid things. Even if they are wanted criminals, their own strength will not change... The weight of a 'Thunder Douluo', isn't it enough?" Graylat said softly.
"Don't worry about me, huh, you spend all day dealing with those mud-legged guys in the army, pretending as if you really work hard. After Vidal came back from the Soul Master Competition, has your father ever looked at you? "The blond young man snorted coldly.
Graylat looked at the back of the blond young man with deep eyes. After a long time, he slowly uttered one word: "Idiot."
…………
Deep in the Iron Heart Mountains, a clone of Amon displayed his aura unscrupulously.
He created the illusion of an extreme Douluo by releasing the expressive power of the soul power he "stolen" from the first soul ring.
That vast, terrifying power, as if it were falling from the sky, made the soul beasts deep in the Iron Heart Mountain Range look horrified one by one.
They panicked and fled away from the momentum.
This kind of momentum is a threat and terror to ordinary soul beasts, but to the real overlord, it is a signal of challenge.
Amon continued for a long time, but there was no response and he restrained his breath.
He adjusted his monocle, clicked his tongue, and muttered:
"It's not here either. Where did the Red Lotus Serpent go? It stands to reason that if it senses my provocation, it won't remain indifferent...
"Is it possible that I overestimated its strength? It's actually not that strong and it's too scared to come out?"
He walked to a crater, hesitated, and then jumped.
A layer of substantial soul power formed a spherical barrier, covering it.
The oncoming blazing heat was blocked, just like stones falling into the lake. After a "pop", Amon's figure was submerged into the magma.
What caught his eye was a sea of red. Amon spread his mental power and explored the magma aimlessly.
After absorbing the soul ring of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his mental power increased greatly and he could now extend to a very long range.
But even so, trying to find a soul beast in this vast ocean of magma is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Amon spread out one by one, searching in different directions.
Magma flows slowly underground, like a river, leading to an unknown and mysterious place.
Suddenly, Amon discovered an abnormal disturbance coming from the depths of the magma, as if something was shuttled through it.
Without hesitation, he immediately chased after him.
Although the specific situation of the thing swimming deep in the magma has not yet been determined, judging from the disturbance it caused to the magma, it is definitely a behemoth beyond imagination.
Amon grabbed it casually, stole Yan Jin's "Soul Power Ejection" skill, and quickly moved forward.
The unknown creature seemed to have noticed Amon, and suddenly stopped, slowly sinking deeper into the depths, without any movement.
Amon came to the place where it disappeared, stroked his monocle, and said helplessly:
"Tsk... The clone can't escape the fate of being a bait."
He suddenly burst out with terrifying power, his soul power was surging, and the magma was constantly pushed back and gathered, forming circles of transverse waves that were transmitted outward.
At this moment, there was movement in the deeper magma, and a huge monster opened its mouth like the abyss and rushed out from bottom to top.
In a glimpse, Amon "saw" its full appearance through his mental power. It was a terrifying snake with a length of more than 3,000 meters!
It has a pair of curved horns on its head, and the scales on its body are like twisted insects. It looks very similar to the eyeless snake that Amon once hunted, but the difference is that it has eyes.
This is the "Iron Mountain Lord" Red Lotus Snake!
The soul power fluctuations emitted from it are at the same level as the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord and Emperor Tian, second only to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm!
The clone was swallowed by the Red Lotus Serpent without any resistance.
On a rooftop in Tiexin City, Amon's original body was half lying, staring at the sky.
Receiving the message from the clone through the thread of fate, he raised his hand and pinched his monocle, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I found you..."
He did not act immediately. The clone was still alive, and it could still last for a long time relying on the barrier formed by the materialized soul power.
By tracking the location of the clone, Amon judged that the Red Lotus Serpent was in a state of constant movement.
After half a day, it finally slowed down its swimming speed and stopped.
"Hehe, the hunt begins." Amon grabbed Yan Jin casually and dragged Yan Jin out of the void.
"Ah?" Yan Jin held a string of candied haws in his hand, and his eyes looked a little confused.
"The target is locked, let's go." Without waiting for Yan Jin to respond, Amon took a step forward.
Yan Jin only felt that various colors of light flashed before her eyes, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a huge underground cave.
She and Amon were standing in the soul barrier, floating on the surface of the magma. Above, the semi-solidified rock layer grew upside down like stalactites, and magma dripped from the tip.
Right in front of them, a huge red snake was coiled in a ball.
The Red Lotus Snake seemed to sense something, slowly opened its eyes, and looked at the two people with its snake pupils like two headlights.
It looked at Amon for a moment, and then set its sights on Yanjin.
"Are you here to take the test of the inheritance of the God of Fire?"
A rough, low voice echoed in this huge space.
"Ah?" Yanjin was stunned and realized that it was the giant snake in front of him who was talking, "What test?"
"You don't have the breath of inheritance... You are not here for the test." The giant python's voice seemed to have a hint of regret.
Yanjin scratched his head, a little confused, and looked at Amon on the side, waiting for his explanation.
"Interesting... It seems that you are not an ordinary soul beast."
Amon straightened his monocle and asked, "What is your relationship with the God of Fire?"
The Red Lotus Snake responded fluently: "I am the high priest of the God of Fire, and also the ultimate content of the God's test. Defeat me and you will be the God of Fire!"
"Then do you know how to start the God's test?" Amon asked.
"I don't know." The Red Lotus Snake answered without hesitation.
"As the high priest of the God of Fire, how can you not know how to start the God's test?" Amon looked strange.
"If you don't know, you don't know. I am only responsible for the test... Start the God's test, and then kill me in the test, and you will be the new God of Fire!"
The Red Lotus Snake slowly moved its body, swallowing and spitting out its snake tongue, with murderous intent surging on its body:
"Since you are not the inheritor of the throne, then die here..."
Amon smiled: "If you are the inheritor of the throne, what will happen after encountering you?"
"Of course it will be a battle. If you beat me, you will be the God of Fire, and if you can't beat me, you will die." The Red Lotus Snake responded without hesitation.
"That is to say, life or death has nothing to do with whether or not you are the inheritor..." Yan Jin complained.
"I have another question. Do you know the content of the God of Fire's test?" Amon asked.
"I don't know. I am only responsible for the test. Fighting with the inheritors is my only mission as the High Priest of the God of Fire!" The snake said with a hint of pride.
Amon: "..."
You and Yan Jin must have a lot in common... Amon muttered in his heart.
"In short, it's just fighting, right?" Yan Jin stepped forward.
"That's right!" The snake and the man looked at each other, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.
Without waiting for Amon to say anything, Yan Jin had already rushed up.
Facing the huge red lotus snake like a mountain, there was no fear on her face, only excitement.
Before, she thought she would be afraid when she saw this giant python again, but when she really met it, the fear and fear in her heart disappeared, leaving only a full of fighting spirit.
"Big fire!"
The huge fist formed by the magma collided with the huge snake head of the red lotus snake, and a deafening roar broke out.
The giant snake shook its head and hissed towards the sky. A wave of sound spread out from it, causing the underground space to vibrate continuously.
This was not a soul skill, nor was it some kind of attack method. It was just a long howl from the Red Lotus Snake when it got excited.
It twisted its body and responded to Yan Jin's expectation:
"Come and fight!"
