Chapter 336 [Princess of the Great Flame] [Black Flame Walker]

The dark and deep underground spire.

The air was permeated with a chill from nowhere, and the metallic silver-gray walls and floors added a bit of icy atmosphere.

Even the battle-hardened Shane and others couldn't help looking solemn and feeling a little uneasy when they walked into the last floor of the shelter.

And when everyone looked up, they saw...

The ice coffin standing in the empty and spacious hall.

And the woman who seemed to be sleeping in the ice coffin.

"That's..."

Joey couldn't help holding his breath and looked at the woman in the ice coffin.

Unlike those monsters that had turned into ice crystals, this woman's appearance was lifelike, and her skin was no different from that of a living person.

It was as if... she just fell into a sweet dream and would wake up at any time.

Her appearance was exquisite and flawless, and she also had a kind of noble and transcendent temperament.

A head of long black hair spread like ink at the bottom of the coffin, and a gorgeous red and black court dress set off the woman's elegance.

When he saw the woman in the ice coffin, Shane instantly understood where the dangerous omen he had sensed before came from.

Not only that, most of the cold air in the inverted spire was emitted from the ice coffin.

"Who is she?"

Daisy said in doubt: "Why is she at the bottom of this ruins?"

Unlike the complete confusion of outsiders, Joey and An soon discovered something that shocked them--

Although the woman in the ice coffin was unfamiliar, the mysterious ice coffin she was in unexpectedly gave them a sense of déjà vu.

Joey murmured: "Captain, that ice coffin, and Miss Vivian's crystal coffin... seem!"

Shane narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course, he also discovered this matter at the first time.

Moreover, Shane also saw that the two were not only similar in appearance and style, but also in temperament and aura.

As if they were carved from the same mold.

However, after careful observation for a while, Shane found that the aura of this ice coffin did not seem to be as strong as Vivian's crystal coffin.

If you insist, it's like...

This ice coffin is a replica of Vivian's crystal coffin?

However, this is just a sudden guess by Shane, and there is no evidence to prove it.

On the side, Jane also frowned slightly.

These days, she and Vivian have naturally had a lot of contact-the name "Vivian" alone is enough to make Jane very curious.

However, in addition to confirming that Vivian was suspected to be an elf before her death, and she must have some close connection with the elves.

Even the knowledgeable Jane found it difficult to get more information.

It can even be said that Vivian seems to have more secrets and clouds than her!

After visiting Vivian's crystal coffin, Jane was keenly aware that there was a crucial secret hidden in the crystal coffin!

But Jane still didn't know what the secret was.

So, when she saw this ice coffin that seemed to be a replica of the crystal coffin, Jane fell into deep thought.

To be honest.

The scene in front of her was weird, just like accidentally entering the set of a horror movie or the boss room in the game.

Lewis, Nana, and Daisy's brother and sister all showed strong uneasiness.

Lewis had also heard that a captain accidentally opened the seal of some strange existence while exploring ancient ruins, which led to the tragedy of the annihilation of the whole army.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Lewis reminded.

"Captain Shane, that ice coffin seems very dangerous, it's better not to touch it?"

Hearing this, Shane naturally understood Lewis's concerns.

He touched his chin and was also thinking about whether to take the risk to touch the ice coffin.

Judging from the sense of danger he sensed from nowhere, the sleeping woman's strength was definitely extraordinary, and certainly not comparable to the previous ice crystal monster.

However, with Jane by his side, he was not without the ability to deal with danger.

And if he could wake this woman up, he might be able to learn the secrets of the past of [Dayan Country] from her.

Maybe he could also learn some secrets about Vivian...

Xia En's thoughts were fluctuating, weighing the pros and cons.

But after a moment, Xia En sighed and finally decided to give up opening the ice coffin.

It was not because he was afraid of the danger of opening the ice coffin.

But because...

Xia En realized that this ice coffin and the black-haired woman in it were in an extremely strange state.

This ice coffin was both a seal and a protection, allowing her to continue to survive in this state.

If it was opened rashly and forcibly, it might destroy the original balance, cause irreversible damage to the woman, and even cause her life to perish.

Shane had no grudge against her, so there was no need to disturb her long sleep for curiosity.

Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated and said.

"Let's go and let her continue to sleep."

Although Daisy and the others were a little surprised, Shane was the backbone of the group at the moment, and no one expressed any objection.

However, just as everyone was about to evacuate the underground ruins.

Three or five black shadows appeared silently in the corner of the hall and quickly approached the ice coffin in the center.

"Who is it!?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows suddenly and looked in the direction of the black shadows in surprise.

From just now until now, even he had not noticed the existence of these black shadows.

These people seemed to have suddenly appeared.

This ability to hide surprised Xia En.

These black shadows ignored Xia En's questions and continued to rush to the location of the ice coffin.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Suddenly, ice needles like a storm shot out from the top and floor of the hall.

Accompanied by a brief cry of pain, a black shadow was shot into a sieve by the ice needles and fell to the ground powerlessly.

At this time, Xia En and others also saw clearly that these black shadows were people wearing black robes.

Those black robes had dark red lines on them, forming different patterns.

And this kind of strange black robe, Xia En had seen it in the past [Giant Wood City]!

Among the people participating in the [International Conference], there were envoys from [Dayan Country].

This kind of black robe is one of the characteristics of the group of [Black Flame Walkers]!

In other words, these black-robed people are all [Black Flame Walkers]?

But why do they want to approach the ice coffin?

Do they want to rescue the woman in the ice coffin, or... kill her?

For a moment, many doubts flashed through Xia En's mind.

But at the moment, the enemy and the purpose of this group of [Black Flame Walkers] are unclear, so he can't just act rashly, but just calmly watch their actions.

After a companion died, the remaining [Black Flame Walkers] did not stop at all, but instead accelerated their pace.

One of them suddenly increased his speed, and at the same time, a ball of black flame ignited in his palm, and he slapped it directly at the ice coffin.

Seeing this scene, Xia En finally confirmed that this group of [Black Flame Walkers] wanted to destroy the ice coffin and the woman in it together!

But can they do it?

At the moment when the black flame was about to touch the ice coffin.

An extremely fierce cold air suddenly emerged from the invisible place, directly freezing this person and the flame in his hand.

In just a moment, a lifelike ice sculpture appeared in front of everyone.

"This ice coffin is really not that simple!"

Xia En thought to himself.

He had guessed before that this ice coffin seemed to have no protection, but since it could exist for hundreds of years in the dense ice crystal monsters, it was enough to show that it must have a certain self-protection ability.

This was also one of the reasons why Xia En finally chose to evacuate.

At this time, Xia En and others were not injured by the ice coffin, but these [Black Flame Walkers] helped them step on the thunder.

However, the remaining [Black Flame Walkers] still did not give up.

One of them suddenly burst into extremely fierce black flames, as if he had ignited himself into a torch, and rushed to the ice coffin without hesitation.

The temperature of that black flame was quite high, and even the extremely cold air released by the ice coffin could not extinguish it instantly.

The two were temporarily in a stalemate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the last [Black Flame Walker] roared, and his figure flashed like a ghost, and came behind the ice coffin.

He seemed to be holding a pitch-black dagger in his hand, and stabbed the woman in the ice coffin fiercely.

"Xi Suo! Stop!"

At this moment, there was another angry shout from the direction of the hall entrance.

Xia En turned his head and saw another [Black Flame Walker] wearing a red and black robe appeared there.

However, judging from the figure and voice, this [Black Flame Walker] seemed to be a woman.

Moreover, from this sentence, she seemed to have different purposes from the previous [Black Flame Walkers]?

However, this had nothing to do with Xia En and others.

At this time, they became bystanders who accidentally entered this incident.

Doing nothing and watching the development of the situation is undoubtedly the best choice.

What surprised Xia En was that the words spoken by the later female [Black Flame Walker] were not just simple words.

A unique secret power spread out and quickly locked onto "Xi Suo" next to the ice coffin.

Then, Xi Suo's body stiffened for a short time.

It was really very short.

It was less than three seconds.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, not to mention three seconds, even a one-second delay is enough to be fatal.

The next moment, the surging cold air enveloped Xi Suo's body in an instant.

His movements were forever frozen at the moment when he raised the dagger.

The whole person's vitality was completely lost.

——Rather than being frozen to death, it was more like his vitality was completely sucked away by the strange ice coffin.

As for the person who was originally burning himself, he soon turned into an ice sculpture in the bone-chilling cold, motionless.

After all these [Black Flame Walkers] died.

The temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop a few degrees, and the ice coffin seemed to have added a bit of evil and dangerous temperament.

At this time, Xia En and others also looked at the last [Black Flame Walker] who suddenly appeared with vigilant eyes.

Being able to come to the deepest part of the spire ruins alone, and not being discovered by them before...

This itself is a symbol of strength.

Finally, it was Xia En who spoke first and asked, "Are you... [Black Flame Walker]?"

The other party hesitated, but nodded, "Yes."

"You should be the [Far North Expeditionary Force] who came to support us, right?"

"The king has told us about this. On behalf of all the [Black Flame Walkers], I would like to thank you."

As he said this, the [Black Flame Walker] performed an ancient etiquette to everyone.

However, even so, there was still a hint of pride in the attitude of the [Black Flame Walker].

It seemed to be some traces left over from the [Great Yan Kingdom] era.

Hearing the "king" in her mouth, Joey's beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly and couldn't help asking.

"Yan Yan... Oh no, your king, is he okay now?"

Joey's question made everyone's expression change slightly, and they couldn't help looking at her with surprise.

What kind of question is this?

It's as if you are very familiar with the fire king?

What if you are considered to be disrespectful to the fire king and cause some trouble?

But soon, what happened next was beyond the expectations of Daisy, Lewis and others.

"...Huh?"

Hearing this, the [Black Flame Walker] was also stunned: "How do you know the king's name, and use this attitude..."

Suddenly, this person seemed to remember something and said in great surprise.

"Wait, are you?"

Xia En stepped forward and said calmly: "I am the captain of the Black Swan, Xia En."

"I don't know if you have heard of this name."

"The Black Swan... Captain Xia En..."

Hearing this, the expression under the hood of the Black Flame Walker changed several times.

Finally, she walked in front of Xia En, knelt on one knee in the surprised eyes of everyone, and said respectfully.

"Hello, Captain Xia En."

Xia En was also a little caught off guard: "What are you doing?"

The Black Flame Walker replied: "The king once said that when you see the captain of the Black Swan, you should treat him as if you saw him."

When this was said, not to mention Daisy's brother and sister, Nana and Lewis, even Jane's face could not help but show a look of surprise.

They never expected that Xia En actually had a deep friendship with the legendary King of Fire.

Just based on the words of the Black Flame Walker, it is enough to show Xia En's status in the eyes of the King of Fire!

But everyone couldn't figure it out. The news of the return of [King of Fire] had only recently spread across the Seven Seas.

When did Xia En establish such a deep friendship with [King of Fire]?

Xia En didn't care about what everyone thought, but felt warm in his heart.

This meant that Yan Yan had not forgotten the time on the [Black Swan], which made him feel quite relieved.

Since there was such a relationship, Xia En was inevitably curious about what had just happened and the mysterious ice coffin, so he asked.

"What happened to those [Black Flame Walkers] before?"

"And the woman in the ice coffin..."

After hesitating for a moment, the [Black Flame Walker] responded.

"In fact, the woman in the ice coffin is the princess of [Great Yan Kingdom]..."
