The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

"What's wrong……?"

Theresa murmured softly, her voice as if floating out from the depths of a dream, with a hint of trance.

The tightly closed eyes finally slowly opened, but the scene before her made her feel confused and uncomfortable.

"Um......?"

She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, pressing her fingertips gently on her still sore eye sockets, trying to dispel the haziness in front of her eyes.

Those strange red dots still stubbornly remained in her field of vision, and even seemed to become denser with every blink of her eyes.

She thought that a short rest would allow her to regain some energy, but when she woke up, instead of feeling refreshed, she felt dizzy.

Something seems to be wrong.

"Hey, hey, hey, you silly kid!"

Ou Yu's voice suddenly exploded in her ears, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness, "I told you to take a nap, but you really fell asleep? Wake up and look around us!"

Before Theresa could fully react, Ou had already shaken her body vigorously, then pinched her chin and forced her to lift her head.

"What......"

Theresa muttered impatiently, but still narrowed her eyes, trying to focus her sight and look around.

The next second, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Pyro?!"

Dense groups of firemen were slowly approaching them, only twenty or thirty meters away.

The bodies made of flames twisted in the air, emitting a scorching breath.

The temperature that made her feel hot and unbearable was not because she was sleepy, but because the heat emitted by these fire men was devouring their space bit by bit.

Ou Yu released her chin, his tone filled with helplessness and nervousness: "Now is not the time to be in a daze, we have to find a way to get out."

"Let me do it."

Theresa was about to move, ready to fight her way through for them, but Ou grabbed her shoulders.

"My dear aunt, please take a closer look. They are not the same as the fire men!" There was a hint of helplessness in Ao Yu's voice, as if he was coaxing a reckless child.

"Different?" Theresa frowned, then turned her gaze back to the fire men.

Only then did she notice that the fire men were indeed a little different from those they usually saw.

They are not in the shriveled and charred state after being burned out, but are full of energy. The flames on their bodies are jumping extremely actively. Their bodies have a translucent texture, faintly revealing the energy flowing inside.

Theresa even felt that they were like juicy peaches, which would burst with a "pop" sound if touched lightly.

"I seriously suspect that you have some bad thoughts in your mind."

Ou's voice interrupted her thoughts.

He obviously noticed something from her slightly shining eyes and was afraid that she would do something stupid in the heat of the moment.

"I feel like they're some kind of energy entity," Ou Yu explained in a low voice, scanning the firemen with vigilance. "They have no desire to attack. They've just been standing there stupidly, showing no intention of attacking us at all."

"What do you mean?" Theresa still didn't fully understand what Ao Yu said. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Just like those props that store arcane magic. I suspect these fire men have the same function. They themselves are some kind of energy storage container."

"Can the Fire Man also...?"

Logically, shouldn't the Fire Man explode directly after being overloaded?

But she overlooked the fact that there were people at the border.

Perhaps these fire men are not ordinary fire men, but some kind of modified energy bodies, specifically used to store energy, just like the eyeballs produced by burning people.

Are these Burning Men some kind of… emergency food?

"We can sneak out quietly, so it shouldn't be a problem. Some brave people have already started sneaking out."

Some brave adventurers have already started to move. They tiptoe past the fire man and grope their way forward, trying not to make any noise.

The firemen still stood in the same place, the flames flowing slowly on their bodies, as if they were unaware of the movement around them.

It seems that these fire men really will not attack actively.

What a ghost!

The fire men's eyes were not directed at the adventurers who were moving quietly, but were staring straight towards her and Ao Yu.

Obviously, Ou also realized this.

He stood there, his brows furrowed, staring at the fire men with a serious look, and was reluctant to move.

"What if they clean out the Burning Man from the outside?"

"It will break."

Theresa denied his idea without hesitation.

This is next to a cliff. Once the Fire Man explodes, the shock wave is likely to trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire cliff to collapse.

By then, let alone escaping, they might not even have a place to stand.

"Forget it, I'll go out first! Don't move."

Ao Yu gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

He took a deep breath, took slow steps, and began to carefully walk through the crowd of people.

The firemen were still standing in the same place, the flames on their bodies flowing slowly. Occasionally, a few drops of flame solution dripped from their bodies, making a "sizzling" sound when they landed on the ground, instantly burning small pits on the ground.

"Hey? Looks like nothing happened!"

Seeing this scene, the fear in the hearts of the others was slightly relieved. They followed suit and began to rush outside cautiously.

"Oh well......"

Theresa hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and decided to follow everyone.

Just as she took her first step, something strange happened.

The seemingly disorganized group of firemen gathered around Theresa.

Whenever they found a gap, the firemen would move over at an extremely fast speed, filling the gap instantly and blocking her way.

Theresa did not give up and tried to break through in another direction.

But no matter how she changed her position, they could accurately block all her escape routes.

What the hell?

You are targeting people, right?

“Buzz buzz—!”

There was a dull roar in the air, as if some huge creature was flapping its wings and flying high, and the sound of its wings flapping the air echoed all around.

"Little White Hair! Come out quickly! Something's about to burst out from down there!"

Ou's voice was quick and nervous, with an unmistakable sense of urgency.

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, Ao Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scene before him made him hold his breath.

He saw it, it was the creature he had dreamed of all his life - the legendary dragon!

The dragon's huge body broke out from the bottom of the cliff like a mountain, and the rocks shattered like paper under its power.

There were still several burning firemen in its bloody mouth, flames flickered between its sharp teeth, and then it suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

“God-time—!”

With a low shout, golden light fell like stars, and dots of golden light once again covered the barren land at the border.

Time was stretched out, and all movements became slow and heavy.

Theresa seized this brief opportunity and acted swiftly, pushing her companions out of the danger zone one by one.

The effect of the divine time did not last long.

This is the borderland, and any glimmer of light will be regarded as heresy and ruthlessly devoured.

The golden light gradually dissipated and the flow of time returned to normal.

"It's over."

Things are taking a turn for the worst.

That moment of inspiration ignited the fuse in the firemen's bodies, and their bodies began to tremble violently. The flames rolled wildly in their bodies, making a sharp hissing sound.

"You guys go first! It's going to...explode!"

Theresa's voice held a hint of determination.

She quickly raised the divine light stick in her hand, and the power of the wind arcane gathered at the tip of the stick.

As she swung the stick suddenly, a strong wind whistled out, blowing all the fire men who were about to explode high into the sky, and a series of deafening explosions sounded in the air.

The shock wave from the explosion did not end there.

Strong wind pressure swept down, and the already fragile ground began to crack under the pressure of this force, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

The rock beneath Theresa's feet groaned under the weight and then broke completely.

"Little white hair!"

Ou's shout was remarkably clear amid the chaos. He lunged at Theresa without hesitation and grabbed her wrist.

"It's okay... come up quickly!"

"Crack——!"

Just as Ao Yu was rejoicing that he had caught up, the rock completely collapsed, and all that was left in his ears was the whistling wind and the aftermath of the fireman's explosion in the distance.
