However, the two fireballs were beaten back and gave Qian Lei enough time at least.
“Be more reliable!” Liu Feng endured the pain around his wrist and shouted to Qian Lei. 30% of the pain was still quite intense eh!
“I still need a little bit more time.” Qian Lei looked helpless.
Just at this moment, there was another fireball came flying over.
“Boom——” The ice thorns exploded into pieces but that was not all, a fireball actually came after that and it was now heading towards the three of them.
Qian Lei finally flicked the coin of summoning in his hand and began his second summoning of the day.
Lan Xuanyu was quick in thinking when he saw the fireball. The golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass covered his arm and a faint layer of golden glow immediately appeared on his body. He crossed both arms and blocked it.
He could obviously dodge but if he did, Qian Lei, who was trying to open the Gate of Summoning, wouldn’t be able to! If the summoning was interrupted, they wouldn’t have a chance at all.
“Boom——” The fireball crashed against Lan Xuanyu’s body and he felt its head while his left arm remained cool. A layer of ice appeared and combined with the defense released by the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass on his right arm, it forcefully neutralized the heat at the cost of him being blasted away.
Not good.
But right now, he couldn’t control himself anymore and he knocked against Qian Lei, who was still summoning.
‘Doomed…’
Whether it was Qian Lei, Lan Xuanyu or Liu Feng, all of them felt that they were doomed at this moment. Although the summoning process wasn’t long, it cannot be interrupted.
But the second that Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei collided, something weird happened. Qian Lei wasn’t knocked by Lan Xuanyu. Instead, half of Lan Xuanyu’s body came against the edge of the Gate of Summoning. He instinctively grabbed the frame of its door with his left hand that was covered with the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass.
Something strange happened and Lan Xuanyu only felt that he was in a trance for a split second. At that moment, there was a silver light that was about the size of a needle tip in the depths of his pupils. It flashed by and at that exact moment, the entire Gate of Summoning seemed to have solidified. It was as if his aura and the aura of the Gate of Summoning had a bizarre connection.
Lan Xuanyu only felt a connection, he didn’t feel like he lost something and in that moment, the summoning was completed.
The consecutive spitting of fireballs made those three 100-year Lava hounds stop for a while but without the protection of his ice thorns, countless 10-year Lava hounds found themselves free to charge at them.
Lan Xuanyu using his body to block the fireballs to buy some time for Qian Lei got Liu Feng’s blood pumping through his veins. He yelled and the glow of the Spirit Ring on his body was released once again. Then, he stepped forward and suddenly, seven to eight lava hounds were swept into the air, but because he used too much energy, he slumped back to the ground. He had exhausted even the last bit of his energy.
Just at this moment, a silver light poured out from that Gate of Summoning and a weird scene appeared before their eyes.
A pair of slender feet stepped out of the gate and a slim figure appeared.
She wasn’t tall but was slender. She wasn’t a spirit beast but she was a stunning young lady instead.
Her long white dress covered her body and she seemed to be about the same age as the three boys. Her long dark blue hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head and her blue eyes were as deep as the sea.
She was somewhat confused at the moment she stepped out of the Gate of Summoning and by then, she saw those Lava hounds pouncing over.
“Ah!” The young lady shrieked and lifted her hands outwards. A thick layer of ice wall was formed immediately and those Lava hounds that were charging at her were sent back.
Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei and Liu Feng were dumbfounded. ‘Not only could this Gate of Summoning summon spirit beasts, but it could also actually summon humans?’
‘What’s going on here?’
Only Lan Xuanyu could vaguely feel that this summoning seemed to have something to do with his left hand grabbing onto the Gate of Summoning.
That young lady heaved a sigh of relief when she saw those Lava hounds retreating, then, she looked around in distrust and naturally noticed the three kids.
“Where is this place? Who are you guys?”
Qian Lei let out a weird shriek and jumped excitedly. “Wow, you’re so pretty. Kill the enemies first, my summoned beauty, kill these Lava hounds first then we’ll talk.”
The young lady knitted her brows. “Why do I have to listen to you?”
“Because I am your host! I was the one who summoned you using the Gate of Summoning,” Qian Lei answered in a matter-of-factly manner.
Dazed, the young lady replied, “But where is this place? How do I go back?”
“You’ll return once the summoning ends. This is Soul World and you’re probably a creature from another world, right? You wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” Qian Lei replied.
“Soul World? Are you referring to the world in the simulation pod?” The young lady’s question left all three of them speechless.
Lan Xuanyu asked in surprise, “You know about that?”
The young lady looked at him, they made eye contact and she became dazed once more. “It’s you, it was your aura that attracted me. It wasn’t him, he was lying, right?” As she spoke, she pointed at Qian Lei.
“I did not! It was me, it was me!” Qian Lei yelled. This was a beautiful young girl that was around their age. She was undoubtedly the prettiest girl he had seen and boys would definitely express desire in front of girls.
“No, it wasn’t you.”
“The Lava hounds are coming.” Liu Feng’s voice resounded.
As expected, its not only the 10-year Lava hounds but even the sturdy 100-year Lava hounds were making their way over them slowly. The smoke in their mouths was really thick. It was obvious that they were almost prepared with their fireballs.
The young lady frowned. Her deep blue eyes flashed and suddenly turned brighter. Following that, two Spirit Rings, a yellow and a purple, appeared beneath her feet. ‘Two-Spirit Rings, a Spirit Grandmaster!’
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. Judging by what she said and the Spirit Rings she released, she wasn’t a creature from another world at all! She was clearly a Spirit Master with two Spirit Rings.
“Explode!” The young lady pointed with her right hand and the ice wall that was blocking the Lava hounds immediately exploded into pieces. Not just that, the exploded ice wall actually became ice blades that scattered everywhere like a violent snowstorm wreaking havoc in a 5-meter radius around them.
More than half of the 10-year Lava hounds were caged inside the storm and they immediately turned into light and disappeared. It was clear how strong her attack was.
The young lady’s first Spirit Ring lit up and a long dark blue spear appeared in her hand. The second her toes touched the ground, she ran forward.
Her movements were beautiful and natural, and it was as if there was a dark blue halo following behind her as she charged forward. Each time the spear swings, it had a dark blue light with it and those 10-year Lava hounds didn’t have the power to fight back at all; they all found themselves stabbed to death. She was not only fast but extremely accurate as well. Those Lava hounds that were near her naturally slowed down as well.
“So strong!” Liu Feng, who used a spear, couldn’t help but exclaim. She has both speed and power.
Lan Xuanyu saw that Liu Feng and Qian Lei had lost their fighting power and he couldn’t just let her fight alone, so he took a deep breath and slightly reconditioned his body before running behind her.
“Ao ao!” Those three 100-year spirit beasts launched three fireballs straight towards that young girl.
The young lady’s spear touched the ground and lifted her up in the air. She used her weapon to make herself spin and suddenly, a dark blue ripple rose around her like a vortex. The fireballs that came were immediately sent flying back but she didn’t stop there, she picked up her speed and charged towards one of the three 100-year Lava Hounds.
