My messenger is a little fox

"Wow—"

The cry of the phoenix echoed throughout the crater.

Huo'er easily dodged several lava bombs fired by the Lava Demon Crocodile, spread his wings and flew over the opponent. A round rune array emerged behind him, blooming with soft golden light. At the same time, the runes on the drainage channel were sensed. It also lit up together. The formation formed for the Furnace Volcano was finally completed at this moment.

Master Cui did not dare to watch the operation of the array, and lowered his head to pray for the smooth operation of the array. Due to time constraints, he was finally forced to give up the final test.

Han Yan stood on the edge of the drainage channel with his arms spread out. There was no sadness or joy on his face. The contract mark on his forehead glowed with orange-red light. Behind him, there was also a halo of the magic circle like the Phoenix, but it was much smaller. .

The Lava Demon Crocodile suddenly felt uneasy as never before. A pair of giant orange-red eyes anxiously looked at Huo'er and the runes on the surrounding drainage channels. He suddenly opened his huge mouth, and a super-large lava bomb with a diameter of five meters condensed in his mouth.

A ray of light shot out of Li Yu's eyes on the drainage channel, and Huo'er in mid-air suddenly shot a ray of light on the head of the lava demon crocodile. Immediately, a huge amount of flame energy was transmitted to Huo'er along the light, and then was absorbed by the magic circle on his back and transmitted to the runes in the drainage channel.

Soon, the activated runes on the drainage channel also began to autonomously capture the flame energy of the fire rock beasts under the mountain wall. Within a few breaths, many weak fire rock beasts were squeezed and turned into black-gray volcanic ash. Even the surrounding temperature is dropping rapidly.

Li Yu and the others stared at this strange scene in stunned silence, watching the huge lava bomb condensed from the mouth of the Lava Demon Crocodile shrink and annihilate, and even the body of the Lava Demon Crocodile was shrinking rapidly.

"W-what's going on?" Hou Jinyun felt that his jaw was about to drop.

"This is the flame absorption of the Phoenix. I didn't expect it to be so powerful with the blessing of this magic circle." Li Yu murmured, as if he was answering Hou Jinyun's words, but also as if he was talking to himself.

Hou Jinyun looked at Li Yu and then at Han Yan, who was presiding over the magic circle, and murmured: "Sure enough, those who make it to the list of heroes are all perverts!"

The magic circle continued to operate, and the lava crocodile continued to shrink. Although it struggled desperately and everything around it was destroyed to pieces, it could not break the light ray connected to its head. It blocks the loss of energy from the body and cannot even move the body.

Suddenly, the magic circle behind the phoenix paused for a moment, then dimmed and dissipated.

Everyone's hearts were raised again, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously. Only Han Yan turned his head and said with a normal expression: "I stopped myself. The formation is not well connected. Cui is more than fifty meters to the right. Master, please!”

Master Cui, who was so shocked by the stoppage of the magic circle, was startled when he heard this. He quickly remembered something and said: "It can be forced to operate even if the connection is not smooth. If you stop like this, what will happen to the big crocodile below?"

"It doesn't matter!" Han Yan calmly took out his broken saber and jumped down from the drainage ditch and ran towards the lava crocodile and said: "There is no room for damage in the magic circle. Please repair it as soon as possible, Master Cui."

The lava demon crocodile's body was nearly half smaller. When he lost his restraints, his first thought was not revenge but to escape back to the magma pool to replenish his strength.

Huo'er had just absorbed a huge amount of energy. Although most of it was transferred to the magic circle, the amount accumulated in his body was not a small amount. It was the time of expansion at this moment, so how could he let it go.

Huo'er opened his mouth and spit out a flaming arrow towards the lava demon crocodile. Although it was called a flame arrow, there was too much flame energy accumulated in the body just now, and Huo'er was not willing to squander it. The flame arrow he fired was as thick as a bowl and five or six meters long. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a giant flame spear.

The lava demon crocodile had just regained its freedom and was still not flexible. Seeing the flaming arrow coming, it was too late to respond. The flaming arrow penetrated from behind and pinned it to the ground.

It's just that the body of the Lava Demon Crocodile is made of magma mixed with energy. It has no body at all, so this injury has almost no harm to it. Instead, it absorbs the flame energy from the flame arrow.

Just when the Lava Demon Crocodile was grasping to absorb the flame arrows in order to escape its control, Han Yan arrived. The Broken Saber was blessed by the magic circle just now and spit out more than ten meters of sword light, cutting off the lava demon crocodile in half with just one blow. Then Han Yan saw that it was not dead, and slashed it several times with his sword, dividing it into more than ten sections, and then it gradually dimmed.

The temperature in the crater returned to normal, and everyone felt a sense of joy in escaping.

Han Yan sheathed his sword, recalled Huo'er who had returned to the Fire Spirit Bird state, and ran back to Master Cui as quickly as possible without even bothering to greet everyone, and asked: "Master, has the magic circle been repaired?"

Master Cui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said loudly: "The magic circle has been repaired and can be operated at any time."

"Everyone, I will start the magic circle right away. Once the magic circle is operating normally, it will no longer require human maintenance. This place will also be isolated from the outside world. You can go out now." Han Yan said to everyone, and put his hand on the starting point of the magic circle. The runes slowly connected, and after a while he withdrew his hand and released Huo'er again.

Huo'er transformed into a phoenix in mid-air and floated directly over the center of the magma pool. Then the halo of the magic circle appeared behind him again. The contract mark on Han Yan's forehead also lit up. Behind him, Huo'er almost looked like a phoenix. A magic circle halo appeared simultaneously.

Then the halo of the magic circle behind Huo'er grew larger and larger, and finally combined with the runes on the drainage channel to form a huge dome-shaped light shield, and then the color became lighter and almost invisible.

"We succeeded!" Han Yan recalled Huo'er and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Everyone can go back!"
