The Land of the Earth

The group had been walking on the rugged mountain road for half an hour. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the mountains.

Suddenly, a low and powerful wolf howl was heard in the distance. The sound seemed to carry some kind of deterrent power, echoing in the valley and making people feel nervous.

Tianyuan frowned slightly, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He suggested, "Let's go over and take a look." Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly. An inexplicable courage and curiosity surged in their hearts.

After another half hour of rapid march, everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.

Finally, they saw a thrilling scene ahead.

Five giant sky-devouring wolves were besieging Shen Shiyan, Gu Yuanqiao, He Jiaojiao, Jiang Xianhao and Shi Hechen with bared fangs and claws.

The giant sky-devouring wolves were huge, each one was as tall as two people, and the fur on their bodies stood up like steel needles, shining with a cold light.

Their eyes flashed with a dark green light, like evil spirits from hell, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.

The huge claws dug deep grooves in the ground, and every time they were waved, they brought up a fishy wind.

Jiang Xianhao's face turned pale, his eyes filled with fear, and he shouted with a trembling voice, "What should I do?"

At this critical moment, Song Chaoming shouted, "Follow me!" and rushed towards the giant wolf first, and others responded one after another.

For a moment, shouts of killing shook the sky, all kinds of lights flashed, and everyone used their own unique skills to fight a desperate battle with the giant sky-devouring wolf.

Some were brandishing swords, with cold light flashing on the blades, and every swing brought up a splash of blood; some were casting spells, and brilliant light shot towards the giant wolves like meteors, exploding on their bodies.

Half an hour later, this fierce battle finally came to an end.

Although everyone was exhausted, they still managed to eliminate five giant sky-devouring wolves.

However, before they could catch their breath, the air around them suddenly became hot, and a strong sense of oppression came over them.

I saw a black flame evil phoenix tiger and a golden flame python galloping from a distance. Wherever they passed, the trees turned to ashes in an instant and the land was baked and cracked.

The Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger's entire body was burning with black flames. A faint shadow of a phoenix was circling in the flames, emitting bursts of sharp cries that seemed to tear one's eardrums.

The Golden Flame Python was glowing with golden light all over, and every scale seemed to be made of gold. Its huge body was winding and swimming on the ground at an extremely fast speed, and bursts of flames were spewing out of its open bloody mouth.

At this time, after fighting with the Sky-Devouring Wolf, everyone's dream power had been exhausted, and everyone had a look of despair on their face.

Only Chaoyun still had some strength left. He gritted his teeth and quickly summoned a rock shield.

Huge rocks emerged from the ground, forming a thick barrier in front of everyone.

However, the power of the Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger and the Golden Flame Python was too strong, and their attacks fell on the rock shield like raindrops.

Every impact caused the shield to tremble violently, and cracks began to appear on it. Soon, the cracks covered the entire shield like a spider web.

Just as the shield was about to break and everyone felt the shadow of death looming, the earth suddenly shook violently.

A force so powerful that it was beyond imagination surged from deep underground, and this force rushed into Chaoyun's body like a surging tide.

At the same time, a powerful and ancient voice sounded in Chaoyun's mind: "I am the guardian of the Stone Armor Mark. Seeing that you still have the heart to protect in such a desperate situation, I will grant you this mark."

As the words fell, Chaoyun felt as if his body was ignited by a raging fire, and power continued to surge out of his body.

Chao Yun shouted loudly, and the power exploded in all directions with him as the center, instantly shaking away the Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger and the Golden Flame Python.

The Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger rolled several times in the air before it stabilized its body. A trace of fear flashed in its eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. It let out a roar and pounced towards the crowd again.

The Golden Flame Python was not to be outdone. It twisted its huge body and rushed towards Chaoyun like lightning.

Chaoyun took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and chanted an ancient and mysterious spell.

As he chanted the spell, a dazzling light emanated from his body, and within the light gradually emerged the mark of a rock armor.

The mark was engraved with complex and mysterious runes, and each rune was shining with a strange light.

Chaoyun waved his hands and shouted, "Petrification!" A ray of petrifying light shot out from the mark on the rock armor and went straight to the Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger.

The Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger was unable to dodge and was enveloped by the petrifying light, instantly turning into a huge sculpture.

But its power was too strong. At the moment of being petrified, the energy inside its body was still impacting it. Not long after, cracks began to appear on the sculpture, and then it shattered with a "bang", turning into countless pieces of rubble scattered all over the ground.

When the Golden Flame Python saw the Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger being petrified and shattered, a trace of fear flashed in its eyes, but it did not retreat.

Instead, it rushed towards Chaoyun even more frantically. Its speed was faster than before, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely.

Chao Yun's face was solemn. He knew that this Golden Flame Python was more difficult to deal with than the Black Flame Evil Phoenix Tiger, so he had to give it his all.

He concentrated his mind again, preparing to face the attack of the Golden Flame Python, while thinking about how to deal with it. The people around him also grasped their weapons tightly, ready to fight with Chaoyun at the critical moment.

Just as the Golden Flame Python was about to rush to Chaoyun, Chaoyun suddenly jumped high, and the mark of the rock armor on his body shone brightly.

He made a complicated hand gesture in the air and uttered an even more profound spell.

The surrounding land began to shake violently, and countless huge rocks broke out from the ground and flew towards the Golden Flame Python.

These rocks merged with each other during the flight, forming a huge rock cage that trapped the Golden Flame Python.

The Golden Flame Python struggled frantically in the cage, slamming its huge body against the rocks, and each impact caused the cage to shake violently.

Chaoyun didn't dare to relax at all. He continued to cast spells to strengthen the power of the rock cage.

At the same time, he shouted to everyone: "Attack together!" Everyone responded, and various attacks fell on the rock cage like raindrops, attacking the Golden Flame Python.

Although the Golden Flame Python was trapped, its defense was extremely strong. The attacks from the crowd only caused it to tremble slightly, and it did not suffer much damage.

Just when everyone was feeling a little desperate, Chaoyun suddenly discovered that there was a special symbol flashing on the mark of the Rock Armor.

His heart moved, and he remembered some information mentioned in the voice of the guard of the Rock Armor Mark.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on communicating with the mark, trying to activate the power of this special symbol.

After some effort, the special symbol finally emitted a dazzling light, which shot towards the rock cage and merged with it.

The cage instantly became indestructible. At the same time, countless sharp rock spikes extended from the inside of the cage and stabbed towards the Golden Flame Python.

The Golden Flame Python was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the rock, letting out a painful roar.

Its blood flowed from the wound, dripping onto the rocks and emitting bursts of green smoke.

As the rock thorns continued to attack, the Golden Flame Python's strength gradually weakened, and its struggles became increasingly powerless.

After a hard fight, everyone finally exhausted the power of the Golden Flame Python. Its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and there was no life left.

Everyone sat on the ground tiredly, but with relieved smiles on their faces.

They knew that although this crisis was extremely dangerous, they successfully overcame it with courage and unity.
