Chapter 648 - 472: Facing the Divine
The strange scene before them left everyone a bit stunned.
Previously, freezing a few small monsters was acceptable, but to freeze such a large area?
They suddenly realized that the other side seemed never to have shown their full strength.
Under the renewed urging of Wu Guinan and several of his followers, everyone finally hurriedly followed Li Pu through the gate corridor and into the castle.
The interior of the castle was quite spacious, with all the decor and furniture having long been burned away.
As for things like beasts, they were nonexistent here as well.
According to the descriptions from senior students, the castle is the safest place in the entire instance; even if pursued by beasts, as long as one hides inside, they will stop pursuing for unknown reasons.
In such a vast environment, finding the staircase leading upwards wasn’t difficult; shortly afterward, everyone arrived at the top floor of the castle.
"Huh?" xN
However, when they stepped onto the top floor and glanced around, they let out a light "huh."
The similarly empty environment made the throne at the far end particularly conspicuous.
An unknown stone-backed chair, also surrounded by burning flames.
Judging by the throne’s size, its owner must be at least over 2 meters tall.
But now, there was nothing on the throne, meaning the fire skeleton, which should have always been sitting there, was missing.
"This isn’t right; where did the fire skeleton go?"
"Uh, if we only photograph the throne, does it count as completing our task?"
"Probably not. The task specifies a photo with the throne + fire skeleton."
Everyone began to argue.
They felt the unusual large-scale movement of beasts encountered during this instance might be related to the disappearance of the fire skeleton.
However, even the ogre was taken down, which gave them ample confidence that no matter how this instance changed, it wouldn’t be difficult for this team.
So the primary concern became how to complete the instance task assigned by the school.
"Let’s search; everyone, spread out and search."
Qian Shanshan clapped her hands, signaling everyone to disperse.
But they felt she was joking, as the top floor was visible at a glance; where could the fire skeleton possibly hide?
Could it be hiding behind the throne?
"Hey, come over here and take a look."
Nonetheless, when Qian Shanshan really went around behind the throne, she gestured for everyone to gather.
As they approached, the imagined scenario of the fire skeleton hiding behind the throne wasn’t the case.
Instead, there was a row of bright floor-to-ceiling windows, through which the outside scenery of the castle could be seen.
In the distant direction, the main road could be clearly seen.
In the nearby direction, the area surrounding the castle was visible.
She summoned everyone because she saw a large skeleton, ablaze, running around the castle outside, all alone.
"Uh, what’s happening?"
Someone expressed confusion on the spot.
It was said the fire skeleton was merely a decoration, lacking vitality and not a beast.
Yet now, it seemed like it was jogging around the castle, quite eerie.
For a moment, everyone didn’t know what to do.
"Bro, can you take it down quickly?"
Just then, Ti Jiu approached.
"What do you think?"
Li Pu responded impatiently.
This thing is just bones, without any organs or life center, how to take it down quickly?
Given the current situation, the first thing he thought of was an Illusion Technique.
Perhaps some special beast cast some sort of illusion on them or the fire skeleton.
But he has the ability to be immune to illusions, so this guess was clearly impossible.
The second guess was that something invisible was controlling the fire skeleton.
However, neither he nor Ti Jiu, after activating [True Sight], found anything.
"Send a few summoned creatures down to test the waters."
"If it’s too weak, just bring it up and force it to take a photo with us."
Qian Shanshan proposed her idea.
If they couldn’t find the fire skeleton before, it was fine, but now that it was discovered, it was a different story.
Her proposal gained unanimous approval from everyone.
After final discussions, it was decided to select three summoned creatures to carry out the task.
Qian Shanshan’s spirit fire element, Wang Fengmang’s blue water element, and Long Ren’s half-dragon.
Just as the three summoned creatures were about to depart, footsteps sounded from the staircase.
Unexpectedly, during their discussions, the fire skeleton had circled the castle and returned.
"..." xN
[...]
Clearly, neither side anticipated this situation.
[Clack, clack, clack]
The first to respond was the fire skeleton, looking at everyone, its lower jaw clacking as if it were laughing.
[There are actually humans here]
Then, clear words came from its mouth.
Upon seeing this situation, everyone looked at each other, each having a thought: A different race.
No one expected to encounter a different race in this instance.
It’s just unclear whether this strange fire skeleton belongs to the specter type or the flame type of different races.
"Friend, may we know your name?"
Li Yilou stepped forward, actually wanting to ask if a photo could be taken conveniently.
But currently, it’s still undetermined if the other party is friendly.
[You can call me... Fire God, bop]
[Oh, sorry, I’m used to it]
The fire skeleton uttered words with unclear meaning.
Snap!
Just then, the camera shutter sound suddenly clicked.
