In the Monster Mountains, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, pursued by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, scurried through the forest like headless flies.
"Why are you dragging me along? Mu Li clearly wants to deal with me!" Little Fairy Doctor, lying on Xiao Yan's back, looked rather helpless.
"Heh, do you think if I didn't take you away, what would happen to you if you stayed there? Mu Li clearly wants you, and the kind that doesn't accept refusal," Xiao Yan sneered.
"He's not that kind of person... he's always been well-behaved before."
Instinct told Little Fairy Doctor that Mu Li had no designs on her at all.
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, you can go back and try. Anyway, I don't want to carry you, a burden," Xiao Yan snorted, feeling depressed about this undeserved disaster.
Wasn't it just because he was familiar with herbs and had a little more communication with Little Fairy Doctor…
Wasn't it just because he was quite humorous in his conversation and often made Little Fairy Doctor laugh…
Wasn't it just because he rescued the beauty before Mu Li in a monster attack…
He and Little Fairy Doctor were really just ordinary friends. Was it necessary to pursue and kill them with such a big fanfare?
A trace of panic flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes: "You took me away, you can't just abandon me now."
If she could still feign compliance with Mu Li before Xiao Yan dragged her away, but now that the other party had torn off his mask, going back would really be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
The two were chased and fled to the cliff above the cave.
At this time, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had not yet locked onto their position, but they were constantly shrinking the encirclement.
Listening to the approaching sound, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Damn it, I'll risk it."
At this moment, Yao Chen said: "Hehe, your luck is really good, there is a cave directly below, you may be able to go down and hide."
"Really? Teacher?" A trace of joy flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
"Come down," he said to the Little Fairy Doctor behind him.
"Ah, it's over, it's a dead end," Little Fairy Doctor wondered if she should just jump down from here and die quickly.
At least this could avoid the misfortune of being ravaged.
After Little Fairy Doctor came down from Xiao Yan's back, Xiao Yan suddenly hugged her waist.
Her slender waist was very soft, but Xiao Yan had no mood to feel this tenderness at the moment.
There were many protruding rocks, vines, and trees on the cliff to borrow strength from, but taking someone down was still a considerable challenge for him.
"Ah? Jump together?" Little Fairy Doctor was stunned.
I was worried about being captured alive and suffering unspeakable humiliation, so I had the idea of jumping off the cliff. You are a big man, so you don't have to worry about these things. Don't you have the blood to fight to the death?
She didn't say this, but she had a little more contempt for Xiao Yan in her heart.
"Stupid woman, shut up, hold on tight," Xiao Yan scolded in a low voice.
Then he jumped.
A crow with a white circle on its right eye watched this scene and transmitted the picture to Mu Li through mental connection.
Mu Li pinched his monocle, and a look of ease appeared on his face.
He whispered to himself: "Phew... I finally drove him to the designated location. It's not easy."
Xiao Yan took Little Fairy Doctor down the stone wall.
Feeling the emptiness under her feet, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help screaming.
"Shut up, do you want us both to fall to our deaths?"
Little Fairy Doctor closed her mouth, and the hands holding Xiao Yan tightened even more.
It wasn't until she felt her feet on solid ground that she realized that Xiao Yan didn't want to commit suicide, but found a way out.
The two walked into the cave together.
Xiao Yan harvested an Ice Spirit Flame Grass, a flying Dou Technique "Eagle Wings", and a Mysterious High-Rank Dou Technique "Lion Roar" inside.
There was also a map that looked very new, and even the ink was still wet.
This was a map of the Tagore Desert, with a lotus-shaped icon not far from Stone Desert City.
The whole map was drawn neatly and clearly, but a few large characters destroyed the seriousness of the map.
And these few characters were the place that Xiao Yan could not ignore the most.
I saw the five characters "Green Lotus Core Flame" written on it, and then an arrow pointed to the flame icon in the east of Stone Desert City.
Xiao Yan's pupils shrank, and he asked in his heart: "Teacher... this is…"
Yao Chen gave a definite answer: "Yes, this is a map marking the location of a Heavenly Flame. But…"
His tone seemed a little tangled.
"This doesn't look like a serious legacy from a predecessor, it feels more like a prank."
Xiao Yan suddenly said: "Teacher, there are words on the back."
He turned the map over and saw written on the back:
Young man who is looking for a Heavenly Flame, the old man has taken away the remnant map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. That Heavenly Flame is too strong, you can't handle it. This is the Green Lotus Core Flame that I don't want. I put it there. If you want it, go and take it.
— Amon.
There was also a simple sketch of a head behind it.
The head wore a pointed soft hat, a monocle on his right eye, his mouth wide open, smiling extraordinarily brightly.
The monocle in the sketch made Xiao Yan's pupils shrink. He chewed on the name "Amon" in his heart and engraved it deeply in his heart.
He had a feeling that the ubiquitous "monocle" seemed to be related to this mysterious figure named "Amon".
"Tsk... it looks more like a prank, but maybe it's an old monster who is playing in the world," Yao Chen said with a hint of speculation in his tone.
"Teacher, haven't you noticed?" Xiao Yan said in a low voice.
"Notice what?" Yao Chen was stunned.
"Monocle, this guy has a monocle…" Xiao Yan said a little anxiously.
Yao Chen was silent for a long time, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong with the monocle?"
A chill suddenly rose from his spine and went straight to Xiao Yan's forehead:
"Teacher, didn't you say before that you didn't have the habit of wearing a monocle? You only started wearing it after encountering some kind of strange creature?
"Have you noticed that you are becoming less and less sensitive to the matter of the monocle, and even taking it for granted?
"Well, it seems like this... Reason tells me that there is something wrong here, but I will subconsciously and instinctively ignore it... I... I seem to have become a little unlike myself," Yao Chen sighed quietly.
Little Fairy Doctor came back from the entrance of the cave, interrupting the conversation between the two:
"It's still a bit unsafe here. I've asked Little Blue to pick us up. Let's leave together. Hmm? What's wrong with you?"
She noticed that Xiao Yan's face was a little ugly.
"It's nothing, let's go," Xiao Yan said perfunctorily.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, he saw a huge blue eagle, and his body suddenly stiffened.
The blue eagle was squinting at him with its right eye with a white circle.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked Little Fairy Doctor: "Did your blue eagle originally have a white circle on its right eye?"
Little Fairy Doctor was stunned by his question and responded: "I didn't pay much attention, but it should be there. It was there when I first saved it a few years ago."
"I see…"
Xiao Yan once again ruled out the guess that the "monocle" force was secretly monitoring him... after all, monitoring himself would not start with a layout in Qingshan Town a few years ago... At that time, even he didn't know if he would go to Qingshan Town in his life.
...But what exactly is this ghost thing?
The purpose is unknown, the source is unknown, the true form is unknown... He even wondered if he was too sensitive. These "monocles" were just coincidences, and the mysterious existence behind them was just his imagination…
Could it be that this is originally a common occurrence on the Dou Qi Continent, and the strange creature that the teacher said was lying to me?
Xiao Yan began to doubt himself, and doubt Yao Chen…
…
Amon parasitized the Heavenly Flame with a Worm of Spirit.
He found that this parasitism was different from previous parasitism. Previous parasitism did not involve the origin of the soul, but this parasitism merged the origin of the Worm of Spirit's soul with the origin of the Heavenly Flame's soul.
The soul of the Green Lotus Core Flame was just nascent, almost without self-awareness. After being mixed with the Worm of Spirit, the influence on the Worm of Spirit's consciousness was minimal.
This Worm of Spirit became the spirit of the Heavenly Flame!
Amon raised his right hand, used his index finger to press the bottom edge of the monocle, and looked at the Worm of Spirit that was almost completely integrated with the Green Lotus Core Flame with great interest. The corners of his mouth slowly curled back, outlining a smile:
"Well, this is really interesting, let's call you Qingmeng... try if you can cultivate the Flame Mantra."
Qingmeng nodded, sat directly on the ground, and began to cultivate the Flame Mantra.
Amon knows the complete Flame Mantra. In the years when Yao Chen was asleep, he had almost emptied the knowledge-based things in the Bone Flame Ring.
As a Heavenly Flame, Qingmeng naturally had no obstacles in cultivating the Flame Mantra. In a short while, he succeeded in cultivation.
He didn't stop and continued to run the technique. After about an hour, he stopped.
Amon waited patiently by the side.
Qingmeng shook his head at him: "No, I can use the technique to guide and refine the energy of heaven and earth, but this can only be used to replenish consumption, but cannot improve my cultivation."
"I see…" Amon pinched his monocle, not disappointed. After all, this kind of restriction from the rules of heaven and earth is not so easy to bypass.
Qingmeng suddenly said: "But this is normal cultivation. If it is a special situation, it should not be within the scope of this rule.
"Just like the Convergence of Worms of Spirit can improve the strength of the Worms of Spirit parasitizing in the host, I use the Flame Mantra to absorb other Strange Flames, and the probability is that I can directly improve my cultivation…
"This can also be regarded as a kind of 'Convergence', but what is aggregated is not the Worm of Spirit, but the Heavenly Flame.
"Moreover, maybe it can bypass the limit that the volume of the clone cannot exceed one-tenth of the body... because what is aggregated is not the Worm of Spirit, the volume of the Worm of Spirit has not changed, what has changed is the host."
"Heh... interesting." Amon's body's eyes narrowed slightly.
