Chapter 123 Flame Tide

“…Get out of the way!”

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the wolf growled and turned to rush towards them, but the incident happened so quickly that everyone was unable to recover for a while. At this moment, the old man opened his mouth wide and struggled like a fish that could not breathe on the shore.

Ho! Ho!

Supporting the old man, the anxious Tianyin looked at the rushing wolf with some confusion.

"What happened…"

According to Wolf, he should have passed out after using the battle residue, but now it was different from what he said before. The jumping fireball on the river bank not far away was reflected in everyone's eyes.

Just as she was about to continue asking, the fireball on the river bank, which was as tall as a man and trembling like a beating heart, suddenly exploded!

The splashing red flames hit everyone like a tide, and everyone finally reacted at this time.

"Run away!"

Although they didn't know what happened, there was no doubt that it was the Shura Fire. Everyone's face changed drastically. Busikawa first reminded the children to evacuate quickly, then pulled the pale old man from Tianyin's arms and turned to run into the forest!

But even so, the crowd's speed was still no match for the Shura Fire flying towards them, and they also underestimated its range. Before they could rush into the forest, the overwhelming flames had already caught up with them.

The air behind them became scorching hot, burning their backs with pain, but no one dared to stop for a moment, just as the flames were about to engulf them.

Come...it’s too late!

Just when everyone was in despair, a figure appeared behind them. The "Iron Wall" on his prosthetic hand was already ready. He stopped and turned around to face the huge tide of flames!

The figure was none other than the wolf who had been following them closely. Looking at the flames coming towards him, he did not retreat a single step. A hint of surprise flashed across the faces of the people looking at the wolf's back.

boom!

At this moment, the incoming flames engulfed everyone. They subconsciously closed their eyes, desperately waiting to be burned, but the expected pain did not come.

Although it was still burning hot, everyone could still open their eyes. However, the scene they saw made their pupils shrink slightly.

The wolf was seen holding a large iron umbrella in front of them. The red flames rushed through the umbrella but did not hurt the people inside!

While everyone was surprised, they also clearly saw that the iron umbrella had already been burned red due to the long-term flame bombardment on the umbrella surface.

Sizzle...

The sound of flesh being roasted continued to be heard. The wolf holding an umbrella and standing in the front was emitting gusts of heat, and then red flames ignited on the wolf's body.

The wolf's flesh was roasted again, but the wolf's face remained calm, as if he was not the one experiencing the pain at the moment.

After resisting the suffocating flames for dozens of seconds, the flames finally disappeared from everyone's sight, and the wolf put away its umbrella. Tianyin walked forward worriedly, and looking at the wolf whose body was burned and no longer looked like a human, she choked with sobs and was unable to speak.

The wolf waved his hand indifferently and looked at his left hand. He was secretly surprised that he did not lose his mind even though he was surrounded by such thick Shura Fire.

While thinking, his hands kept moving, using fire extinguishing powder and medicine gourd one after another, and soon the burns on his body were healed to their original state.

Tianyin's worried face turned into one of surprise, while the others were still frightened as they watched the flame tide retreating towards the river bank.

At this moment, some fine dust mixed with sparks floated past everyone and flew into the sky. Muichiro, who was fleeing with the owl in his arms, wanted to reach out and touch it, but was sternly shouted back by his brother Youichiro.

"do not touch!"

He turned around and looked at his brother and Inosuke beside him. At this moment, the two of them were turning around and looking towards the forest with shock on their faces. Seeing this, Muichiro turned around curiously.

What we saw was the foot of the mountain that had been burned to ashes. As if it had been bitten by a greedy beast, it suddenly disappeared from the mountain, leaving only countless ashes flying into the sky, completely blocking the sunlight.

That's why, even though it is noon, this place has become as dark as night.

Just when the wolf noticed that the "Golden City and Iron Wall" had undergone some changes, the palpitations that had made him uneasy just now appeared again, and he turned his head to look at the flames retreating back to the river bank.

Right at the bottom of the flame tide... a thin figure was looming. The moment he saw the thin figure, although Wolf was surprised, he could only believe his own eyes. With a cold face, he glanced sideways at the people behind him and whispered.

"Let's get away from here... the farther the better..."

Hearing the wolf say this again, the hot-tempered Busei stood up and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the old man he was supporting.

"Mr. Hirata is right... Run away... It's useless for you to stay here. In front of such a terrifying thing... It's a blessing to be able to escape... It's best to leave me behind as well, so that my old bones won't hurt you again."

But Busui's hand never let go. Just when the old man wanted to persuade Busui again, a noisy voice came from the crowd behind him.

Gu Gu Gu Gu! !

"Owl, what's wrong with you?"

"Could it be that he got a stomachache from what we fed him?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, the three saw an owl with a painful look on its face being held tightly in Muichiro's arms, and it would occasionally flap its wings and hit Muichiro's arms in struggle.

Yuichiro was stroking its fur to comfort it, but after a while, a large amount of white light appeared out of nowhere from the air, earth, and water around it and merged into the owl's body.

Seeing this familiar scene, Wolf reacted instantly and quickly spoke to Wuichiro.

"Let it go!"

"Hey?"

Wuichiro was unable to react for a moment and stared blankly at the wolf, but failed to notice the human-like expression of struggle and resistance on the owl in his arms.

But as the white light continued to flow in, the owl's shape changed accordingly. As its body grew larger, its eyes became gloomy and cold.

At this time, everyone also noticed the change in the owl, and surprise appeared on their faces. Before everyone could remind Wuichiro, the transformed owl flapped its wings.

He easily knocked Wuichiro, who was holding him, to the ground. As his wings flapped, there seemed to be a strong wind blowing, ruffling Wuichiro's hair as he fell to the ground and looked at him.

Just as he was about to fly away, Inosuke behind him suddenly jumped high and pounced on the owl!

"Don't even think about running away!"

But at this moment, the owl glared at Inosuke with its gloomy round eyes, and he paused and fell to the ground from mid-air. Under the wild boar head mask, his eyes were blank and he was like a wooden chicken.

Without any obstruction, the owl flew high, flew behind the crowd, and then fell down, landing steadily on a person's shoulder.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they all turned to face the man, drawing their swords and being on guard.

When did this person come?!
