Chapter 480 The Flame Demon Emperor Is About to Awaken
Although the area of the Lava Kingdom is much smaller than that of the Abyss Land, there are fewer demons living in it. Therefore, after entering the Lava Kingdom for half a day, Illidan did not find any demons.
Illidan temporarily stopped moving forward and frowned. This is not good. He came to the Lava Kingdom with the important task of finding the Heart of Darkness. If he doesn't meet any demons, how can he get information?
And this is a bit wrong, right? Even if the Lava Kingdom is relatively vast and sparsely populated, it is not possible to advance at high speed for half a day without encountering a demon?
Although he has become a legendary fire demon, and even his abilities are the same, Illidan's soul is still that of a mythical demon hunter. Therefore, he is sure that he has not missed any hidden demons in his perception.
After being puzzled, Illidan had to continue to move deeper into the Lava Kingdom.
Finally, after advancing for another half a day, Illidan made a discovery. In a lava river not far ahead, Illidan sensed the presence of many life forms.
With his lava eyebrows raised, Illidan sped up to the lava river. As far as his eyes could see, Illidan saw a large number of flame elves lining up to move deeper into the lava kingdom from the lava river.
Although the name of the flame elves contains the word "elf", they are actually not related to the elves. This is an elemental life form that is born in flames or magma and is somewhat similar to the fire demon.
However, in general, the strength of the flame elves is innate, and it is difficult to improve through acquired efforts. What level is it when it is born from flames or magma, it has been constant at this level for a long time.
Therefore, the status of the flame elves is relatively low compared to the orthodox of the lava kingdom-the fire demon. Generally speaking, the flame elves exist as vassals of the fire demon.
Illidan was slightly excited when he found the large number of flame elves advancing in the lava river. The fire elves are also an intelligent race. Perhaps they can tell what happened in the lava kingdom, and why it has become uninhabited.
After quietly following the fire elves along the lava river, Illidan had no intention of showing up for the time being. He was an outsider, and he didn't know the specific situation in the lava kingdom. If he rashly went out to communicate with these fire elves, he might be exposed.
But after following this group of fire elves for a long time, Illidan was very depressed to find that these fire elves didn't like to talk. His plan to get some information through the fire elves talking to each other was aborted immediately.
Just when Illidan had been following the fire elves for a long time and was about to get impatient to contact these fire elves, the new discovery cheered him up and gave up the idea of showing up.
The lava river in the lava kingdom is not like an ordinary river, with tributaries and main streams, and finally merged into the sea. The so-called lava river is a river-like crack in the ground where the ground breaks and the magma underneath is exposed.
After following a lava river for a long time, this group of fire elves finally reached the end of the lava river. At the end, Illidan sensed the breath of a cloud-level demon from afar.
Looking at the appearance of this cloud-level demon, it seems that it is waiting for this team of fire elves. Illidan felt that he should soon understand the reason for the change in the lava kingdom.
Sure enough, after landing on the same scorching ground, the fire elf team quickly joined the cloud-level demon waiting at the end of the lava river. Illidan finally heard a voice one day after entering the lava kingdom.
"Respected Lord Demon Emperor Envoy, all the fire elves of the Leicester tribe are here, please lead us to the place where the ceremony is held!"
Illidan was shocked. Demon Emperor Envoy? This Demon Emperor should refer to the Flame Demon Emperor who almost conquered the Abyss Land, right? Didn't it say that after that battle, the Fire Emperor was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep under the siege of hundreds of demon kings?
Then, what is the origin of this Demon Emperor's messenger who appeared now? No one came to answer Illidan's question, he could only continue to follow the Fire Elf Tribe led by the Demon Emperor's messenger.
As he continued to move forward with the Fire Elf Tribe, Illidan got closer and closer to the depths of the lava kingdom. Gradually, he felt that in a distant place, a dormant power that was as hot as the sun but strange was slowly waking up.
In an instant, Illidan understood. I'm afraid that the sleeping Fire Emperor is finally waking up. Even though they are still far away, Illidan can still make a judgment. This Fire Emperor, who has existed in the demon world for thousands of years, is more powerful than his original body!
Of course, here is Illidan's original body in the form of a night elf. If he uses the demon transformation skill and merges with the demon realm, Illidan is not afraid of this old strong man in the demon world. Moreover, the Fire Emperor didn't seem to have completely awakened from his deep sleep yet?
Hmm. The "ritual" that the Fire Elves had talked about with the so-called Demon Emperor's messenger before. Illidan made up his mind to take a closer look at the ritual that might be held to awaken the Fire Emperor.
He didn't have to wait long. Under the leadership of the Demon Emperor's messenger, the Fire Elves tribe that Illidan followed soon arrived at a magma lake. In the center of this magma lake, there was a small island made of condensed black rocks.
Illidan was somewhat disappointed. Although a large number of fire elves, lava monsters and even some fire demons have gathered in this magma lake, and the scene is not small, this is obviously not the place where the Fire Demon Emperor will wake up. At least, the place where Illidan sensed the power of the Fire Demon Emperor is still a long way from here.
After hesitating for a long time between leaving here and going to the direction where he sensed the existence of the Fire Demon Emperor, and staying here to observe the so-called ceremony, Illidan finally chose the latter.
After all, the body he is using now is just a legendary fire demon. In this magma lake where the highest is no more than the sky-level demon, Illidan can still hold on without exposing his body, but it is not certain if he goes deeper. Illidan knows that although it is not as good as the abyss, there are not many demon kings in the lava kingdom.
Anyway, it seems that these residents of the lava kingdom who have gathered together must be related to the awakening of the Fire Demon Emperor, so just observe here.
Quietly hiding in the dark and waiting for a day, Illidan did not feel the slightest bit of anxiety. He saw teams of fire elves, lava monsters, or other kinds of demons being brought to the lava lake by "Emperor of the Demon Emperor".
Gradually, even this large lava lake was covered by a large number of demons or elemental creatures. Among them, only those with strength above the gold level could climb onto the black rock island in the center of the lava lake.
Illidan's eyebrows jumped. Finally, a legendary guy appeared. Just like Illidan's current appearance, this is also a legendary fire demon. Just as foreigners are all the same in the eyes of Chinese people, in Illidan's eyes, this fire demon is almost exactly the same as his current body.
Hmm? If such a legendary fire demon appears, there will definitely be a second and third one. I think the uninhabited situation in the entire lava country is caused by this kind of gathering.
In this case, doesn't it mean that most of the demons gathered together don't know other demons? After all, this is guided by the "Emperor of the Demon Emperor". Only those powerful fire demons who walk alone will come by themselves.
So, could I disguise myself as a fire demon who came to participate in the ceremony and sneak into the team? Once this idea came out, it was out of control.
Compared to observing from a distance, it is obvious that entering the magma lake and climbing onto the black rock island to participate in the ceremony in person can reveal more secrets.
After weighing the risks and benefits, Illidan resolutely walked out of his hiding and headed for the magma lake.
