Chapter 842 -706: Can You Last Ten Minutes?
There’s a mage in front of us!
Xu Shuo landed on the branches of a tree, glanced at the ground below that had instantly turned into a sea of fire, and then looked towards the direction from which the flames were coming.
Just a little further ahead was the exit of the forest.
The evening twilight shrouded the periphery of the forest, facing the direction of the setting sun, so one could only glimpse the tall trees through the hazy light.
“They’re really well-prepared…”
Xu Shuo murmured to himself.
The flames below grew fiercer and fiercer.
This was a forest to begin with, and now in the dry climate of early winter, the fire was extremely intense.
Catalina, who was clinging to the branch, curled her toes slightly, somewhat impatient with the high temperature.
The Aura of Light from the Holy Court is just a mildly warm glow, and to the Ice and Snow Elves of the Elf Clan, it’s just like encountering an irksome summer.
But right now, this raging fire…
Clearly, it was roasting an Ice and Snow Elf.
She didn’t sweat, but her condition was quite visibly wilted in the high heat.
The pale skin of the Ice and Snow Elf instinctively emitted waves of cold, clashing with the distorted Heat Flow in the air, creating mist, and then starting to spread dampness.
Xu Shuo glanced at her: “Humans sweat from their own bodies, but it looks like when you ‘sweat,’ it’s basically like localized rainfall.”
Catalina, puzzled, frowned and asked, “What?”
Xu Shuo just chuckled softly to himself.
This bit of teasing wasn’t worth dwelling on.
The horse had already been mercilessly swallowed by the dragon of fire, turned directly into ash, and the ground below had become a sea of flames.
Originally, it was just their path that was burning.
But after Xu Shuo took refuge in the tree, flames surged into the forest from all directions, quickly igniting the dry twigs and leaves on the ground, and began to spread upwards along the trunks of the trees.
It seems that the enemy is determined to trap them in this forest, even at the cost of setting the mountain ablaze.
But flames alone are not enough.
Perhaps other methods will follow.
Xu Shuo tugged at the corner of his mouth: “Keep up, looks like we have to charge straight out. I want to see what else is waiting for us out there.”
No sooner had he spoken than he had flashed to another tree, moving extremely fast towards the forest exit bathed in the glow of the sunset.
Catalina was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening.
She hurriedly followed, gracefully weaving through the trees, as the coldness from her body continuously adjusted the surrounding temperature.
In some respects, the Ice and Snow Elves were cold-blooded creatures.

They were ectothermic.
The two of them had only moved a few tens of meters forward.
And they hadn’t even approached the exit yet.
But at the next moment.
A huge steel net, covered with blades, fell from the top of the thicket!
The rustling sound was like violently trembling steel wires, occasionally echoing with the sharp shrill of blades scraping, inadvertently causing goosebumps.
Looking up, they saw the sharp blades on the iron net cutting through the forked branches, falling straight towards them!
The speed was not very fast, but it would definitely hit the ground within ten seconds!
And in order to avoid the flames, they were already jumping at a high altitude, so now the wide-spread net falling with every inch of its sharp blades twinkling dangerously, left no room to evade!
“Be careful!”
Catalina shouted instinctively.
Although she knew that the person ahead probably didn’t need her reminder at all.
Disliking the flames and heat below, Catalina let the Power of Faith within her surge, spreading the Extreme Frost coldness around her.
A layer of crystal-clear ice formed above her head like the frozen grounds of the Holy Land of Elves, seemingly trying to block the iron spikes above.
Xu Shuo, however, decisively landed on the ground.
Whoosh—
The raging flames surged up!
But they were also forcefully dispersed to the sides in the instant the young man landed, as if a cyclone had formed, creating an empty space.
The sound of the steel blades cutting overhead kept coming.
Xu Shuo looked up at Catalina, a familiar golden chain appearing in his hand, thrown up to wrap around her waist and forcibly pulling her down.
“Shh—”
Catalina fell to the ground, unprepared.
Her coldness collided with surrounding heat flow, causing some sort of chemical reaction. After a brief hissing sound, thick fog enveloped them.
Catalina gasped in the hot air: “It’s so hot!”
As she spoke.
A loud crashing sound came from above their heads, as if something had shattered.
It was the ice she had just condensed.
Directly smashed by the falling barbed iron net, the ice chunks fell into the flames and slowly melted away, while the ferocious net itself got stuck, tilting against the sturdy trunks.
The sharp blades connected to the net hovered perilously close above their heads.
In fact, the net might cut through most slender branches, but thick tree trunks weren’t so easily severed.
And the larger the area, the more likely it was to be entangled by the intertwined branches.
So choosing to fall to the ground was the most relaxed way to deal with it.
Catalina, although somewhat resentful of Xu Shuo’s recent actions, knew that he was probably trying to save her.
So she endured.
But the environment within the flames was extremely uncomfortable!
Clasping her arms, facing the occasionally surging flames around her, her skin felt an intense prickling pain.
For the Ice and Snow Elves, the most comfortable temperature was negative twenty degrees.
The current temperature was exceedingly beyond the norm.
There was a sea of red fire all around.
