Passing through the passageway, entering the fire-worshiping hall, the final step!

"Quenched Fire Arrow!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

...For a moment.

Ye Xingyu aimed at all the half-burnt candles, torches, and candelabras in the meditation room and shot out arrows.

The bright red flames instantly lit them all!

Candles, torches, and candelabras lit up one after another!

In a short time, there were over a hundred places where fire ignited!

"Crack!"

"Crack crack!"

...Suddenly, dense strange noises emerged from all around.

Upon closer inspection.

The strange noises were coming from inside the bodies of the hundreds of decaying Fire Worship Cultists, who were either standing or kneeling in the meditation room!

Countless layers of dust and rust fell from the surface of all the statues.

Gradually.

The originally motionless Fire Worship Cultists statues—each one began to tremble!

Soon.

Even their originally tightly shut eyes suddenly became active!

A faint glow reappeared!

"Crack crack crack crack!!!"

The awakened Fire Worship Cultists uniformly faced Ye Xingyu's direction.

A question arose in Ye Xingyu's mind:

"What? You want to pick a fight? Jian Ran Fanqiu never mentioned this scene."

All the decaying Fire Worship Cultists moved at once!

Including the two rows that were originally kneeling on the ground.

Most of the decaying Fire Worship Cultists pulled out special torches from their wide robes.

And simultaneously threw the torches at Ye Xingyu!

There were also a small number of Fire Worship Cultists.

Forming hand seals, they shot out fireballs at Ye Xingyu!

Soon.

The meditation room was engulfed in a sea of fire!

Ye Xingyu naturally wasn't idle either.

He immediately took out his bow and arrows and shot a large Arrow Rain of fire arrows!

To counter these decaying Fire Worship Cultists.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

In the sky, the shadows of torches, arrows, and fire oil bombs were endless.

Level: 26

Monster Type: Normal

Health: 6440

Attack: 730 ~ 742

Defense: 312

Skills: Throw Torch, Fire Oil Bomb!

...Ye Xingyu moved agilely.

Far from comparable to the decaying Fire Worship Cultists.

He moved to a corner.

Soon, he attracted all the Fire Worship Cultists to the center of the meditation room.

A cunning smile appeared on Ye Xingyu's face.

He aimed at the center of the Fire Worship Cultists, quickly charged, and shot out a fire arrow!

"Chain Burst Arrow!"

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

"-12559!"

"-4186!"

"-4186!"

...These fragile decaying Fire Worship Cultists simply couldn't withstand Ye Xingyu's high damage.

After being pulled into a group.

They were wiped out by Ye Xingyu within a second!

Hundreds of Fire Worship Cultists all fell to the ground, piled up in a heap.

However, they didn't drop any experience, equipment, not even a single copper coin.

"How stingy! I don't know why they didn't give more!"

Ye Xingyu cursed.

The meditation room suddenly fell silent.

Ye Xingyu turned back and pushed the stone door blocking his way.

The stone door remained motionless.

"Strange! I've cleared all the monsters, what are you still doing here?"

Ye Xingyu helplessly turned his head.

He re-examined the room.

Immediately.

His eyes lit up!

He discovered that in the corners of the four walls of the meditation room.

There were still a dozen or so hard-to-spot torches hidden!

In the wall cracks of each corner.

Four pitch-black torches were hung from bottom to top.

The four torches at the very top.

Even required climbing to a height of over ten meters!

They were indeed very well hidden!

If it were someone else.

They might really have to exert a lot of effort to light these awkwardly placed torches.

But Ye Xingyu was an Archer!

"Whoosh whoosh" he shot out 12 fire arrows in quick succession.

100% accurately hitting the 12 extremely tricky torches!

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

...Clusters of bright flames immediately ignited from the torches.

When all the extinguished flames in the entire meditation room were completely lit!

A strange noise came from behind Ye Xingyu:

"Creak!"

The tightly shut stone door automatically lifted upwards!

Revealing a narrow passage just wide enough for two people to walk side-by-side!

Both sides of the passage were densely covered with small round openings.

Finally.

The path to the next step was opened!

Ye Xingyu entered the passage without hesitation.

This slender passage.

Was estimated to be 250m long.

And 0.7m wide.

Every approximately 10m.

On both sides of the passage stood a bust of a saint.

The saints held different types of sacrificial stone tools in their hands.

According to Jian Ran Fanqiu's memory.

One only needed to offer the required treasures, gems, incense oil... and other valuables in sequence into the stone tools held by the saints every ten steps.

To pass through smoothly.

At that time, Jian Ran Fanqiu had offered all the valuables he carried.

And passed through this passage unharmed.

Seeing this passage with his own eyes.

Ye Xingyu curled his nose:

"Hmph! What a joke! To offer all the equipment and valuables in my bag! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He personally glanced at the hundreds and thousands of round openings covering the walls.

He took a deep breath.

Then, two bright gleams burst forth from his entire body!

"Light Wind Technique!"

"Limit Frenzy!"

Ye Xingyu immediately activated!

Taking a big stride forward!

As he rushed into the mouth of the passage.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

...Dense fire arrows shot out from the round openings on both sides without warning!

The thousands of round openings densely packed here were indeed not just for show!

They immediately tried to hinder Ye Xingyu's passage in various ways!

Ye Xingyu strode forward like a meteor.

Hundreds and thousands of flaming arrows behind him were all left in his dust.

"Hahaha~ This slow reaction speed~"

By the time the fire arrows shot out, Ye Xingyu had already vanished!

Just as this thought crossed his mind.

A sudden strange noise erupted from within the passage on both sides!

Immediately after.

Burning flames suddenly spewed out from the intersection ahead!

Completely turning the latter half of the entire passage into a blazing inferno!

Without even a single gap!

"Huh?"

Ye Xingyu had no time to react.

He had already charged to the front of the intense sea of fire.

He suddenly lowered his legs.

And pushed hard against the ground!

Then he leaped into the air!

Soaring to a height of three to four meters!

And simultaneously advanced a big step.

When his body reached its highest point, just about to fall.

He kicked hard against the left side of the passage!

Using this reactive force!

He flew across to the right side of the wall.

After several back and forth movements.

Ye Xingyu was like a bird in flight!

In just about 10 seconds, he had traversed the entire passage!

His feet.

Landed in a brand new hall.

Behind Ye Xingyu.

Countless fire arrows were still shooting at each other from the round openings on both sides.

On the ground in the latter half of the passage.

There was also a whole sea of incredibly vibrant flames.

Ye Xingyu had passed this trial.

And successfully entered the Hall of Fire Worship.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xingyu saw it at a glance.

A giant bow and arrow.

Was buried in a wide earthen trench.

Towering flames burned in the trench!

Reddening half of the room!

Only a small part of the bow and arrow was exposed.

Most of it was buried under the trench and the blazing fire.

This was it!

The place where Jian Ran Fanqiu said he obtained the Fire Worshipper Archer's inheritance!

He had reached the final step!
