Cultivation in the city

"They say I'm not Little Huomiao anymore, hum! Don't call me Little Huomiao!" Little Huomiao said unhappily.

The original heavy topic became a little lighter because of its interruption.

Duan Xiaolou said with some amusement: "Okay, okay, you are not a small flame, you are a big flame."

"Yeah, it's not Big Huomiao, I'm Big Huomiaozi, no, no, no! It's Big Fireball...it's not right! I, I'm..." Although Little Huomiao has grown in size, his temper is still like a child.

"You are Honglian, Honglian Yehuo." Duan Xiaolou said.

"Yes! I am Honglian Yehuo. Hehe, Xiaolou, you are so smart. Although you are still a little bit worse than me, um, just a little bit, in fact, it is about the same." After Xiao Huomiao finished speaking, she was a little worried that it would dampen Duan Xiaolou's enthusiasm. As if, watching him carefully.

Duan Xiaolou didn't care about this at all, Xiao Huomiao had such a character, or as Honglian Yehuo, he should have such a supercilious character.

"By the way, you said just now that someone wanted to capture me?" Little Flame asked in confusion, "Why did you want to capture me?"

Duan Xiaolou raised his forehead, although Xiao Huomiao always showed a very attractive look, and other Huomiao always shunned when they met him, but in fact, he didn't have any concept of his own specialness.

"For those people, you belong to a special flame, which can be used to refine weapons, alchemy, and even be refined into a part of the body to improve strength. There are many methods, but they are also very cruel, because most of the methods are to erase Your spiritual wisdom. Besides, what if your spiritual wisdom is not wiped out? Are you willing to be subordinate to others and be driven by others?" Duan Xiaolou asked.

Little Huomiao swayed left and right, expressing that she didn't want to.

"Is their alchemy and equipment the same as Xiaolou makes delicious food for me?" Xiao Huomiao asked, "If they are all the same, why doesn't Xiaolou do it like them?"

When Xiao Huomiao said this, the whole fire shrank together as if she had been wronged, as if Duan Xiaolou didn't covet it like those people, but just looked down on it.

Duan Xiaolou couldn't help helping his forehead again. He felt very helpless about Xiao Huomiao's strange brain circuit, but he still patiently explained: "I can also be like them, but aren't we friends? Of course, what friends say can't be violated." The other party's wishes, forcing the other party to do things they don't like."

Little Huomiao turned around excitedly, and said, "Yes, we are friends! But if Xiaolou needs me, I'm still willing to help."

Duan Xiaolou nodded with a smile, and said, "I know, I don't want to enslave you like those people. But you can't think that all human beings are harmless and good to the same kind just because I am alone. Regardless of whether you are of a different kind, you should maintain a vigilant heart, especially when you are not strong enough. You are Tianhuo—Red Lotus Karma, born extraordinary, so you need to pay more attention to protecting yourself. "

Little Huomiao nodded, it could hear the concern in Duan Xiaolou's words.

"Then, how should I escape from those people's arrest?" Little Huo Miao asked earnestly.

"Become strong, keep getting stronger until no one can hurt you anymore." Duan Xiaolou replied.

In the past, he didn't have much obsession with his own strength, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort on invention and research.But when he put himself in Chen Yan's perspective to think about the problem, he realized how difficult it is for Chen Yan to live.

Tianhuo was born to be the favorite of the heavens, but is the favorite of the day really that good?

The birth of Tianhuo is already difficult, how many of them can survive with their own wisdom in the end?

Possessing excellent qualifications and natural inheritance, and even carrying a mustard space with him, but what is the use of these?

Duan Xiaolou has never heard of a "living" Tianhuo in the more than ten years he has lived in Luoxian Continent, not even a single case.

Skyfire seems destined to fall, it's just a matter of time.

If Chen Yan hadn't encountered a crack in time and space at the last moment, perhaps he would not have escaped the fate of falling.

After Duan Xiaolou talked with Xiao Huomiao, the two lived a peaceful life for a few days.

However, this calmness is more like the tranquility before the storm. As the natural formation in this place weakens day by day, the roar outside the cave intensifies day by day.

Originally, the little flames here didn't take the roar outside seriously. After all, the impact of the sound was minimal to them, and those small vibrations were even less likely to arouse their vigilance.However, after Little Flame reminded them to pay attention, they still reduced their playing time as much as possible and increased their daily training.As for those gadgets that I like in daily life, such as companion spirit grass, those with mustard space will naturally be stored in the space, and those without space, I will find a way to carry them with me, just hoping to escape in time when encountering emergencies.

The position of the red lotus fire in this group of flames is very strange.

Anything it says is taken seriously, but the other flames are not close to it.

In addition to the difference in level, besides the natural suppression of high-level sky fires on ordinary flames, there seem to be other reasons in it.

Duan Xiaolou had nothing to do, so he asked Xiao Huomiao the reason for this.

"You're talking about this? Of course it's because they are worried that they will be swallowed up by me." Little Flame replied naturally.

"Swallow?" Duan Xiaolou asked in confusion.

"Yes, of course high-level flames can devour low-level flames. But they don't taste good, why should I eat them." Xiao Huomiao said arrogantly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Of course, in addition to disdain, there may be a little bit of loneliness mixed in.

"I know, you won't." Duan Xiaolou said softly.

Little Huomiao seemed to be comforted by Duan Xiaolou's words, and became active again.It jumped and said: "Didn't you say that you made delicious food for me yesterday? Show me!"

Duan Xiaolou smiled, and took Xiao Huomiao to the place where he put the special "snacks".

However, at this moment, there was a huge vibration from the ground, and Duan Xiaolou staggered to hold on to the wall, barely maintaining his standing posture.

"What's going on? What happened?" Little Huomiao looked at Duan Xiaolou and asked eagerly.

It was inevitably a little panicked when it encountered this kind of thing for the first time, but seeing Duan Xiaolou standing beside him intact, it suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.

"What I was worried about happened, hurry up, let's follow the previously agreed route and hide before they come!" Duan Xiaolou said.

The route Duan Xiaolou mentioned was explored by him and Xiao Huomiao together. In this cave surrounded by natural formations, there is an incomplete ancient formation hidden. This formation is an excellent hidden formation, but Because it was so badly damaged, it couldn't work anymore.

When Duan Xiaolou was free, other than making snacks for Xiao Huomiao, he repaired the formation.

With his current strength and the only resources at hand, it is of course impossible to really repair this formation, but it is still possible to maintain the formation for a period of time and help Xiao Huomiao escape the most dangerous encirclement and suppression this time. .

This is the method they discussed early in the morning. After discovering this ancient formation, Duan Xiaolou made this plan and made sufficient preparations for the perfect implementation of the plan.

Hearing what Duan Xiaolou said, Xiao Huomiao didn't immediately run towards the established route, but quickly rushed to his "snacks", rolled up all the things, and put them into his mustard space .

Then it said to Duan Xiaolou: "Hurry up and go, didn't you agree? Why are you so dawdling!"

Duan Xiaolou: "..."

With such a stingy Honglian Yehuo, I'm afraid there is no one else but Chen Yan.

Although he complained about Xiao Huomiao's behavior in his heart, Duan Xiaolou's movements were not slow. He followed closely behind Xiao Huomiao, and the two quickly came to the position where the formation was.

Duan Xiaolou put the chalcedony provided by Xiao Huomiao into the center of the formation, only to hear a low "hum" sound, and then the whole formation shone brightly as if it had come to life, and then the light gradually dimmed , as if nothing happened.

"What's the matter? Did it fail?" Little Flame asked puzzled.

Duan Xiaolou shook his head and said: "No, it has already been activated. This ancient formation is relatively restrained, and even if it is activated, there will be no obvious signs. Look there, is there a little light? If the place is lit, it will It means that the formation has been activated."

Xiao Huomiao followed Duan Xiaolou's fingers, and there was indeed a faint light spot there.Because its own flame was too dazzling, this originally not too bright spot of light appeared even dimmer.The closer it was, the less it could be seen clearly. Finally, it could only retreat to a place a little far away, and then it could be seen clearly. It turned out that this point of light was not a point, but a very, very small pattern.

"The ancient people are so strange." Little Huomiao complained.

With the activation of the formation, Duan Xiaolou finally let go of his heart.But in the end, it didn't help Xiao Huo Miao escape, so I can't be completely relieved.

There was a loud bang, signaling the shattering of the natural formation.With the shattering of this formation, this originally hidden cave was gradually exposed to the monks.

"It's here, hurry up!" The voice seemed to open a gap.

The sounds from outside gradually became noisy.

There were voices, the crackling of the mountains, and the screams of the flames fleeing in all directions.

"Yeah! Bad guys!"

"Don't! Don't eat me!"

"Help! Help! There is a very fierce thing chasing me!"

"Run! Everyone run separately!"

……

Little Flame fidgeted in the ancient formation.Although the other flames had been told to disperse and escape as much as possible at the moment the formation was broken, there were too many monks who came to arrest them, and those flames tried their best, but only three-fifths of them escaped.And the three-fifths who escaped still don't know whether they can really escape without being caught, which shows the dire situation outside.

Seeing what happened, Little Huomiao simply turned around.

"Do you think they can escape?" Little Flame asked.

Duan Xiaolou shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's possible, maybe it's not. Some of them will be caught, and some of them will escape. This is probably the cruelty of the law of heaven."

The little flame exploded with a "coax" sound, and it said, "I don't believe in the theory of heaven and destiny! My fate is up to me!"

Duan Xiaolou let out a "haha" laugh. In such a tense and serious moment, Xiao Huomiao's words should have been very inspirational and passionate. Unfortunately, for Duan Xiaolou who has read novels in another world, this line is too much. It's a little secondary.

"You're still young, it's too early to say you're in control of your own destiny." Duan Xiaolou looked at Xiao Huomiao who wanted to refute, and made a gesture of pressing down to signal the other party to calm down, and then he continued, "But I think Sooner or later, you will be able to do this, become a flame, and be no longer at the mercy of the rules of time."

Little Huomiao seemed to want to say something, but it turned out that Duan Xiaolou's words made sense.

The little flame that was still saying that he should not be bound by the law of heaven in one moment, drifted out of the ancient formation uncontrollably in the next second.

At this time, the monks surrounding the outside did not completely disperse.

Although some people left after chasing the fled flames, more people stayed here because they didn't find any trace of Honglian Yehuo.They would rather have nothing to gain from this trip than expend their energy to capture an ordinary flame.Probably because of this reason, most of the flames got a chance to breathe and escaped.In some respects, they should really be grateful for the contribution of Red Lotus Karma.

"What's going on?" Duan Xiaolou asked nervously.

"I, I don't know, it seems that something is controlling me to go outside!" Little Flame's voice was full of tears, and it didn't know what was wrong with it, anyway, its body was uncontrollable and wanted to die.

Duan Xiaolou immediately realized that this should be the so-called law of heaven.

The way of heaven made the red lotus karma come into being, and the red lotus karma had to go through this calamity.Just like the birth of a fetus and the emergence of a butterfly from its cocoon, birth after suffering often makes creatures healthier and stronger.

But if the little flames were really allowed to float out, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?

What's more, this time the little flame is not alone, it has Duan Xiaolou who can be called a weak chicken by its side.With such an obvious weakness in front of this group of greedy monks, I am afraid that without thinking too much about these people, they will know what to do to maximize his utilization.

And what will Little Huo Miao, who regards herself as her only partner, do then?

What if he really dragged Xiao Huo Miao down and caused this spiritual world to collapse, what would happen to Chen Yan?

Duan Xiaolou thought a lot at this moment, but his movements did not stop because of thinking about the problem.

He grabbed the little flame that was about to float to the edge of the formation, and pulled him back!

There was a "chi" sound, as if a red-hot iron was thrown into the icy water.

Duan Xiaolou's hands were ripped apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bright red blood was scorched by the surrounding high temperature before it could flow down, emitting an unpleasant smell.

"Idiot! What are you doing, let go!" Little Flame shouted loudly.

It struggled desperately, hoping that Duan Xiaolou could let go.If possible, it would rather lose its mind and become a tool in the hands of those monks than see Duan Xiaolou leaving himself in such a self-harming way.

"It's okay, you see, my recovery ability is very strong." Duan Xiaolou said a little weakly due to the continuous reduction of mental power.

He changed his hand to hold the little flame, and then spread the hand that had just grabbed the little flame.

The wound on that hand is healing rapidly, but it can barely be seen from the scorched black wound and the continuous flow of blood that it was once tragic.
