Chu He saw an SUV parked not far ahead.
His mouth twitched twice.
Chu He walked closer and touched the hood of the car. He found that it was still warm, but there was no one in the car.
The car had just pulled over, so the people inside should have already gone into the factory.
"Another mage came first?" Chu He scratched his head.
Why was it that every time he found a demonic creature, there would be a mage one step ahead of him?
Chu He walked closer to the factory and saw that the factory building in front of him was burned black by flames.
There had been a terrifying explosion here, and many walls had been shattered. There were also large areas that were charred black.
The fire caused by the explosion took two days to extinguish, but there was not a single corpse inside.
Chu He walked in the yard and could still smell the burning odor.
This used to be a chip factory. It was unlikely that such a factory would have a large number of flammable and explosive items.
According to the quest issued by the system…
An Ember Demon?
From the name, it sounded like it had something to do with fire.
Chu He was somewhat curious. His own specialty was fire, while this demon was also the same. If the two fought, who would be stronger?
When he was a hundred meters away from the entrance of the factory, he suddenly heard an exclamation from inside.
"Alice, go first. I can hold him back!"
"Let's go back and report this to Captain together. This demonic creature has already broken through to the advanced level. Only Captain can deal with it personally!"
A man and a woman's voices sounded.
Chu He found this girl's voice especially familiar.
"There really are mages in the factory."
"Why are they so well-informed? They always beat me to it."
Chu He strode towards the charred factory door. After taking a step, raging flames erupted from Chu He's body.
Soon, his entire body was covered in flames.
Not only was it able to conceal his face, but it was also able to form a defensive layer of fire.
When they were still dozens of meters away from the factory, two figures were blasted out of the factory gate. Behind them was a black flame that was constantly chasing them.
Normally speaking, flames represented heat and high temperature.
However, this black flame seemed to be filled with a strange aura. The moment it appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop significantly.
The air turned cold.
This demonic creature's flames were extraordinary.
The flames in Chu He's body grew to the limit with a bang. His body heated up slightly, repelling the cold aura by a meter away.
A man and a woman were sent flying out of the factory.
When Chu He saw their faces clearly, he was stunned, "Alice?"
Alice was Chu He's high school classmate and also their school belle.
However, in the three years of high school, Chu He and Alice had not spoken much.
This woman was too cold.
She barely interacted with anyone of the opposite sex. Even with countless suitors at school who could line up from New York to Paris, she never bothered.
However, he had to admit that this aloof woman was indeed beautiful.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Chu He laughed to himself: "I didn't expect Alice to be a mage."
Alice and Bruce were both Advanced Mages, but they were still divided into different levels more specifically.
The two of them were the weakest 1st-tier Advanced Mages.
Only a 4th-tier Advanced Mage would be able to fight against an advanced demonic creature.
Moreover, this Ember Demon in front of him was very strong!
A figure shrouded in black flames slowly floated out of the factory.
A thin layer of frost formed on the ground beside the Ember Demon.
Fire of Extreme Frost!
Bruce did not look too good. Half of his body had been frozen after being attacked by the demonic creature just now. It was difficult for him to move.
"Power of Wind!"
Bruce waved his hand and a wind vortex flew out from his hand.
With the support of the power of wind, Alice's speed increased by a lot.
But this Ember Demon was even faster!
With a wave of its hands, black flames spread out and formed a large circle around half of the yard. The temperature in the circle dropped to near zero, it was just big enough to trap Bruce and Alice.
"We can't escape." Bruce smiled helplessly.
They could no longer escape.
"Alright, I won't owe you anything then," Alice said coldly.
Bruce looked helpless.
"Alice, you're about to die. Can't you speak more gently?"
"I can't." A blue staff appeared in Alice's hand.
"I'm not going to die here." As she spoke, a blue light surged from Alice's staff.
A huge icicle appeared above her head.
The surrounding temperature was very low. For an Ice Mage like Alice, it was not a big problem.
The icicle stabbed toward the demonic creature at an extremely fast speed.
Halfway through, the icicles suddenly split apart, turning from a huge icicle into more than ten smaller icicles.
But each one was sharper, and they collectively covered a wider area.
The demonic creature looked at the scene before it and laughed strangely.
It did not care about such a weak attack. With a wave of its hand, black flames poured out and instantly incinerated the icicle storm into nothingness.
Even the wind vortex that Bruce had created just now was swallowed into nothingness.
"Is this the power of an advanced demonic creature?" Bruce's face was pale.
The difference between them had far exceeded his imagination.
