Chapter 4119: The Disappearing Furnace
Seeing that everyone was saying goodbye to Xia De, the halfling girl on the side felt that she should also say a few words. She thought Xia De was a very good person:
"It seems there won't be a chance to invite you to play in the town where I live in the future... I don't have any souvenirs to give you either, and Madame Gustav has already said the verbal blessings, so I won't say them."
She opened her arms to Xia De and hugged Xia De, who had bent down, under Jia Lin's somewhat suspicious gaze:
"The people you meet in the future who collect magic eyes, although they might be the juniors of the sisters, I don't have much contact with them, and the sisters might not listen to me, so I can't leave anything for you either.
However, if we can leave here smoothly, I also want to go to Saint Byron's to study. Although life trapped in a small town is comfortable, after this experience, I want to go out and see the world."
"The entrance exam for the Academy is very difficult, but I have previous review materials there!"
Jia Lin said immediately. Miss Breadwei nodded and looked up at Xia De:
"Mr. Xia De Hamilton, I hope you and your cute cat can live happily every day in the future."
"Meow?"
The cat, which had been stuffed into his pocket when they set off from the first lounge, poked its head out again. Xia De hurriedly pushed it back in:
"I also hope you can all live happily and peacefully. Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry to say goodbye now; maybe we'll see the sun of the real world in ten minutes."
"Meow?"
"Oh, Mia, be good now. You are not allowed to come out until I call you out."
"Meow~"
"Then, let's ignite the furnace... What should we use the remaining flesh and blood tissues for?"
Currently, there is a lot of flesh and blood in the small bucket, and the materials used in the last furnace only account for one-fourth. Everyone definitely won't take these things out. Leaving them in the corner of the room might cause trouble later, so after asking for everyone's opinions, Xia De extracted all the life force from these flesh and blood tissues and stored it in that Source of Fire.
These flesh and blood tissues with bright red light were indeed special, and the life force contained in each piece was quite exaggerated. After the life force extraction was finished, the life energy contained in the Source of Fire had reached a level that Xia De could not describe.
However, to be safe, Xia De did not completely "kill" the flesh and blood that didn't need to be used, but only suppressed their activity to the maximum extent. Otherwise, if an altar or door that required flesh and blood sacrifice appeared after igniting the furnace, it would be too ridiculous.
The frozen withered crystals were finally hidden in the kidneys, and then the twelve flesh and blood organs were wrapped in bubbles spat out by Jia Lin and flew toward the dodecahedron in the air.
When the organs touched the runes on the dodecahedron, they directly merged into the metal. The metal was thus endowed with life, the light representing the fire seed appeared on the metal surface, and the baby's crying sound became clearer and clearer, until it could be heard by everyone.
"This sound is much clearer than when we ignited the first furnace."
Madame Gustav said, and then she held the 【Essence of All Things】 and came to the blood pool under the furnace and threw it in:
"The fuel is ready, and finally, it is ignited with the fire of life."
She said to Xia De, and also handed the small piece of Philosopher's Stone obtained last time to Xia De to deal with the subsequent battle. Before, the witches used their own fresh blood to ignite the blood pool, but last time Miss Feilian tried to guide the life fire seed in the Source of Fire, and they realized that blood was just a carrier, and the energy within it was the most important.
"Life Ray."
As the crimson ray bursting from Xia De's fingertips entered the blood pool, the rising blood-colored flames quickly licked the bottom of the metal dodecahedron, and then the huge metal dodecahedron began to burn as a whole.
The raging flames forced everyone to retreat to the wall together. That flame was not a normal fire, but a surging fire of life.
The flames burned silently, and the surging life force even made Madame Gustav's silver hair seem like it was about to turn back to black, but the increasingly intense crying sound also made everyone dizzy. Amidst the crying, the sound of giant hammers falling, steam whistles roaring, bells echoing, swords clashing, gears rotating, and pistons pushing, various strange sounds mixed together, forming a strange sound like singing.
The blinding firelight had already caused substantive damage to everyone's eyes, and even the twelfth-tier Madame Gustav had long since closed her eyes. Only the curious Xia De stared wide-eyed at the metal dodecahedron in the center of the room as it broke free from the metal pipelines connecting the top and bottom in the firelight and began to rotate.
The runes on the metal surface pulled out afterimages, and the firelight turned it into a rotating big fireball. And within that fireball, Xia De clearly saw a curled-up figure trying to stretch its hands and feet.
Thick blood mist suddenly sprayed out from the gaps of the metal dodecahedron at this moment, and within a few seconds, it almost swallowed the entire room. But the life flames were so bright that no matter how thick the blood mist was, it could not block Xia De's line of sight looking over there.
So he vaguely saw the metal dodecahedron slowly opening like flower petals, blood-red flames condensed in the center of the "petals," and energy outlined a curled-up figure. The blood vessels, organs, and bones inside that figure were reflected in Xia De's eyes. The method of life creation was displayed before his eyes in the most primitive way, and the Outsider felt he understood something.
"She" reminded softly:
【Outsider, your miracle "Life Ray" has been sublimated for the second time: The life energy you burst out can be briefly transformed into a solid.】
"Energy turning into a solid?"
The life fire that unconsciously appeared in the palm of his right hand was controlled by mental power to turn into the shape of a flower, and then the swaying flames solidified into crimson crystals, and the edges and corners of the crystals quickly became rounded, until a bright red flower truly appeared in Xia De's hand.
"This..."
That flower quickly collapsed into fire seeds; clearly, the solid transformed from this energy could not maintain its existence for too long. And when Xia De focused his attention to continue looking at the fireball in the blood mist, the metal dodecahedron was clearly still in its original appearance, with no sign of opening, and no curled-up figure appeared.
A rumbling sound came from under his feet, and then the ground vibrated violently, but the witches' description of the ignition of the Life Furnace did not include these.
The four people immediately huddled together, and amidst the vibration, the red furnace transforming in the air slowly fell until it fell into the blood pool below. Accompanied by the gurgling sound of boiling blood, the increasingly thick blood mist continued to diffuse to all parts of the room.
This blood mist carried heat and contained even more terrifying flesh and blood deformity power. The witches wearing cloaks even had to use the "False Life Skin" taught by Miss Feilian to protect themselves, and the surface of the doll lady on Xia De's shoulder also flashed with a faint red light.
Perception was severely hindered at this moment, and the field of vision was reduced to less than three meters. The vibration of the ground soon stopped, followed by the gurgling sound of water coming from the center of the room that could not be seen. Not long after, the blood overflowing from the blood pool had already reached the foot of the wall, but none of the four moved, all waiting for whatever might exist in the blood mist to make the first move.
But they waited for nothing.
"What's going on?"
Even Xia De didn't know what had happened in the center of the room, but seeing that the blood overflowing from the blood pool had already submerged their feet, the four of them still approached the center of the room together, alert.
But there was nothing there, only the crying sound was noisier and more piercing than before.
The dodecahedron that seemed to have sunk into the blood pool just now had long since disappeared, and only a faint outline of the blood pool could be seen under the liquid surface.
"Did the thing we finally forged turn invisible?"
The halfling girl held her small shield and looked around alertly, while Xia De and Madame Gustav thought of a possibility at the same time:
"It ran away! There is still a passage under the blood pool, which is why the blood has been overflowing!"
"High-Efficiency Spatial Perception!"
The severely limited spatial perception could not detect what was under the blood, but listening carefully, the increasingly loud crying sound clearly came from under the blood pool.
So Jia Lin spat out a few bubbles the size of fists that flew into the blood pool. A moment later, she gave the answer:
"There is no bottom below; my bubbles popped before they reached the bottom."
"I'm afraid that thing wants to go to a more suitable place to complete its final birth."
Madame Gustav said to everyone:
"We must chase after it."
This conclusion was not a problem; the problem was that long-term contact with the blood mist would cause the body to deform, not to mention the liquid in the blood pool. However, there was no time to delay, and Miss Feilian immediately ordered:
"Use that coffin. All four of you curl up inside, then use bubbles to block all the gaps as much as possible, and apply protective spells to the coffin. If the coffin really breaks, remember to use the secret method I taught you to protect yourselves.
While everyone is hiding in the coffin, I will cast spells to control the coffin to follow the sound. This trip will definitely be very dangerous, but we must find it before the new life is born, or at least find it before it adapts to its body after birth."
"Okay!"
Xia De then released the coffin, and then everyone jumped in together. But that coffin could allow a girl of Miss Breadwei's size to hug her legs and curl up, and the others had no way to hide in it except to lie down.
Finally, Xia De lay on the bottom on his side with Jia Lin, the halfling girl and the old witch lay on top of the two, and the space left by Miss Breadwei was used to store Jia Lin's big tail, so that the coffin lid could barely be closed.
Jia Lin also knew that she occupied a lot of space, and she defended in the darkness with a red face that her tail was not fat at all, and the halfling girl who was squeezed with the tail wanted to express a different point of view.
This coffin that had not waited for its owner probably never thought that one day so many people would lie in it at the same time.
?? PS1: Not taking the second coffin just now is not considered overly cautious; after all, no one wants to be divided into two coffins and thus be separated.
? PS2: This is an update for the hundred alliances; this book has one hundred alliance leaders. Thank you all for your support.
? By the way, asking for votes at the beginning of the month!!!! Votes at the beginning of the month are very critical. ===== CHAPTER 4120 =====
