Destroy the Zoroastrian saints and fire worshippers! The guardian beast has appeared.

Half of the Hall of Fire Worship.

It was a huge bow in a fire pit filled with raging flames.

The other half featured over a dozen former Fire Worship Cult Saints.

They were depicted in a scene of reverently worshipping the Holy Master's effigy.

Beneath the Holy Master's effigy.

A stone-carved deer-shaped guardian beast was coiled.

This deer-shaped guardian beast had its limbs curled, in a sitting-reclining posture, guarding the Holy Master's effigy below.

It faced the direction of the Saints.

Everything.

Was so quiet.

Ye Xingyu surveyed his surroundings.

Recalling Jian Ran Fanqiu's experience.

According to Jian Ran Fanqiu.

After entering the Hall of Fire Worship.

One needed to respectfully kowtow ten times to the guardian beast, just like the Fire Worship Cult Saints of old.

Then, stand in a line alongside the Fire Worship Cult Saints and silently mourn for ten hours.

Once these preparatory rituals were completed.

One could approach the fiery bow on the right.

He who could lift the great bow from the raging flames — would inherit the glorious name of the Fire Worshipper Archer!

Ye Xingyu approached the stone carving of the guardian beast.

Its appearance looked mighty and majestic.

Broad shoulders.

A proud chest and abdomen, and a head held high.

It possessed the imposing presence of a guardian beast.

The stone carving was also lifelike.

Ye Xingyu then reached out and pushed the sculpture of a Fire Worship Cult Saint beside him.

A layer of sand fell from his hand.

The Saint sculptures in the Hall of Fire Worship were very different from the cultists in the previous Enlightenment Chamber.

They wore more noble, elaborate, and ornate clothing.

They also held sacrificial ritual implements and staves.

Their status and position were significantly higher than that of the cultists in the Enlightenment Chamber.

Ye Xingyu saw that no matter how he pushed the sculptures of the former Saints, nothing happened.

He gradually moved to the fire pit containing the great bow, which was burning with raging flames.

This fire pit, housing the great bow, was about three meters long.

Its depth also appeared to be over two meters.

Indicating the immense size of the great bow.

It occupied over three-quarters of the fire pit's space!

And vivid red flames surged everywhere within the fire pit!

The flames easily soared over two meters high.

Firmly trapping the entire great bow within the fire.

He had only just stepped within five meters of the fire pit.

The rising temperature felt as if it was directly transmitted through his skin.

Ye Xingyu's figure was reflected in the blazing inferno.

He tentatively reached out to touch the great bow!

“Crack!”

“Crack, crack!!”

...When he reached out.

He hadn't even truly touched the great bow yet.

On the other side of the hall.

The 12 sculptures of the former Fire Worship Cult Saints suddenly began to tremble with “crack, crack, crack” sounds.

Just like what he encountered in the Enlightenment Chamber before.

The Saint sculptures here began to awaken from their silent state.

Large amounts of sand and rust vibrated and fell from the surface of the sculptures.

They were about to fully awaken.

Ye Xingyu quickly retracted his right hand.

Facing the direction of the Saint sculptures.

“Hahaha! I knew this would happen! So I was just playing with you all!”

“Do you really take me for a fool?! I’ve already encountered it once, how could I fall for it again!?”

It turned out that Ye Xingyu had only made a slight probing gesture with his hand.

Who knew these sculptures immediately began to tremble impatiently.

Showing signs of awakening!

Ye Xingyu skillfully took out his bow and arrows.

Activating “Quenched Fire Arrow.”

After the total of 12 former Fire Worship Cult Saints regained movement.

They emitted incomprehensible sounds from their mouths.

Some made peculiar noises in their throats.

The Saints waved their sacrificial staves.

And headless human bodies suddenly appeared in the Hall of Fire Worship!

The chests and abdomens of all the headless people were enveloped in vivid, raging flames!

Blazing inferno fiercely burned on their upper bodies!

After all the headless people were summoned.

They immediately sprinted towards Ye Xingyu!

“Damn it! These so-called Saints aren't a bunch of Summoners, are they!?”

This situation was truly unpredictable.

The Arrow Rain of fire arrows shot by Ye Xingyu fell into the center of the Fire Worship Cult Saints.

Causing severe casualties on the spot!

The headless, flame-burning humanoids summoned by the Fire Worship Cult Saints were called “Fire Worshippers.”

They were a type of monster that felt no pain whatsoever!

Ever since they were summoned.

They charged fiercely at Ye Xingyu, disregarding everything!

Carrying a large amount of fire on their chests and abdomens!

Wanting to perish with him!

“Hmph! Dream on!”

Facing such mad monsters.

Fortunately, the space in the Hall of Fire Worship was sufficient.

Ye Xingyu skillfully activated his running shot.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”

Fire arrows struck the Fire Worshippers.

But a large amount of damage was swallowed!

The Fire Worshippers possessed high fire element resistance.

Fire arrows only dealt one-tenth of their original damage to the Fire Worshippers!

“Alright then! I’ll deal with your masters first!”

Seeing this situation.

Ye Xingyu adjusted his strategy in time.

A Chain Burst Arrow was first shot into the center of the 12 Fire Worship Cult Saints.

“Bang!”

A fierce explosion instantly killed half of the Saints!

The remaining few.

Were also precisely shot down by Ye Xingyu one by one shortly after!

After the enchantment duration of “Quenched Fire Arrow” ended.

Ye Xingyu, after a long time, shot out Piercing Arrows one after another!

Using physical damage to precisely kill the Fire Worshippers who were closely following him!

Finally.

After some running.

Ye Xingyu once again unleashed a physical Arrow Rain!

The drizzling Piercing Arrows fell like raindrops into the group of Fire Worshippers.

Wiping out all twenty-plus Fire Worshippers who had been chasing him!

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

...One Fire Worshipper after another fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

And there was no sound anymore.

The Hall of Fire Worship finally quieted down.

Ye Xingyu walked towards the fiery bow again.

He remained silent for two seconds.

Realizing that he had to retrieve the great bow from the blazing flames to receive the inheritance of the Fire Worshipper Archer.

Ye Xingyu immediately put emeralds wish into his backpack.

Extending both empty hands into the fire!

“Ah, ah, ah!!!”

Before even touching the surface of the fiery bow.

The thousands of degrees of high temperature already caused a burning pain in Ye Xingyu’s hands!

Although this was just a game.

Thousands of degrees of high temperature wouldn't truly make a person evaporate.

But that burning, stinging pain!

Felt as real as if it were happening!

Deeply etched into one's nerves!

Normally, it wouldn't hurt this much in the game.

But this time, it was an exception!

Ye Xingyu felt his hands.

As if they were being burned by fire!

Even more unexpectedly.

Just at this critical moment.

The Fire Worship Cult guardian beast, sitting on the ground nearby, suddenly let out a loud deer cry!

“Yo!”

A strange sound came from the mouth of the stone carving!

One could clearly see intense sound waves appearing in front of the deer's head.

Loud sound waves suddenly emanated outwards from the deer's mouth.

A flash of light appeared in front of the carving.

“Whoosh!”

The figure of a stag suddenly emerged!

Its appearance.

Was it not identical to the guardian beast sitting on the ground!?

However, this standing figure.

Had a somewhat indistinct form.

Appearing as if its transparency was set to 70%.

Vague and indistinct!

It was clearly a spirit body!

Immediately after it was summoned.

It let out an angry roar.

And charged towards Ye Xingyu!

Ye Xingyu also felt a bit numb:

“Holy crap! There's a master here too?”

“Why didn't you come out sooner, you bastard!”

“My hands were burned for two seconds for nothing!”

Having only been in the fire pit for two seconds.

Ye Xingyu's hands had already turned fiery red!
