Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 1089: What is will?
[The Palace of Will] is not an underground maze that purely tests overall strength.
What this palace tests is human will.
What is will?
Will refers to the psychological state resulting from the decision to achieve a certain goal.
Yang Yu speculated that according to the original design of the ninth floor, a team should slowly find the rules and solve problems one by one after failing many times, and finally summon the maze guards and enter the tenth floor.
Perhaps in the designer's view, only by experiencing repeated failures can the strongest will be forged.
If the ninth level tests perseverance, the tenth level should test awareness.
The test is the consciousness of dedicating oneself to the end in order to achieve the final victory.
If Yang Yu guessed correctly, as long as he went to the entrance of the ninth floor or fell in the flames, the green fire phoenix would immediately dive into the ground and turn into gorgeous patterns, and everything would have to start again.
When all members launch a strategy against the Green Fire Phoenix, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the Green Fire Phoenix's [Secret Fire Scorch Formation] and the rising temperature of the space, and will continue to lose combat power.
The best way is to only send one or two determined people to deal with the Green Fire Phoenix at a time, while the others carry out long-range attacks in safe areas.
The dangers of doing so are self-evident.
If only one or two people are left, the goal of the Green Fire Phoenix will become extremely clear. Being chased by such a hot behemoth will definitely lead to disaster.
In addition, because the entrance to the ninth floor is extremely narrow and is not in the center of the plane, but closer to the wall, this will inevitably create some blind spots that are difficult to reach. If things go wrong, the Green Fire Phoenix may fly to the blind spots. Then, the people on the tenth floor are "roasted".
This is a test where you will die if you are not careful.
No one can tell what will happen if you choose to stay.
However, choosing to let your partners stay or choose to leave will cause the strategy to fail.
In this case, there is only one thing left to do.
After chewing the last bit of ice chips in his mouth, Yang Yu raised his head and looked at the green fire phoenix flapping its flame wings in the air. The green fire phoenix also looked at Yang Yu, one person, one bird, and four eyes facing each other.
The green fire phoenix let out a long roar, a circle of flames appeared on its wings, and it swooped down towards Yang Yu like a bomber.
Glancing at the slowly decreasing blood bar, Yang Yu took a bottle of HP recovery potion, took out one of the underwater breathing pills, and successfully relieved the suffocation caused by the high temperature.
Just in case, Yang Yu stuffed the same pill into He Meng.
Seeing the green fire phoenix getting closer and closer, Yang Yu unhurriedly pulled out his sword and flashed, leaving a shadow on the ground.
The green fire phoenix smashed into the ground like a meteor, and the shadow left by Yang Yu was instantly wiped out. The heat wave carried the flames of the green fire phoenix and rushed around.
Starting [Climbing], relying on the adhesion under his feet, Yang Yu stood motionless. The puddle that disappeared instantly in front of him reflected the green fire phoenix slowly rising from the flames.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Yu raised his sword, and several thick thorns suddenly grew out of the water, tying them towards the green fire phoenix from all directions.
However, even if Yang Yu soaked the ground as much as possible in advance so that the growing thorns would be stained with water as much as possible, the heat released from the whole body of the Green Fire Phoenix still dried up his thorns in an instant, making the thorns dry. There was no way to coil it, and it stopped straight in mid-air, completely burned to ashes by the flames of the green fire phoenix.
Yang Yu was stunned. This green fire phoenix would not let him succeed so easily.
Opening its wings, the green fire phoenix once again let out a long cry. With it as the center, fireballs appeared one after another, like planets rotating around the star. These fireballs were all surrounding the green fire phoenix.
Each time it rotates, these fireballs will grow one point larger. After only two or three seconds, these fireballs will become as big as a Beetle car.
Before Qinghuo Phoenix could launch these huge fireballs, Yang Yu found the gap where the fireballs rotated and used every opportunity to pass through the gaps between the fireballs.
A ray of orange-red light emerged from the sword. Yang Yu struck the thigh of the Green Fire Phoenix with his sword, and the sword edge wiped out a brilliant flame.
The green fire phoenix let out a brief wail and glared at Yang Yu. The fireball stopped spinning and rushed towards the green fire phoenix from all directions.
Although the huge fireballs hit the body one by one, in an instant, the green fire phoenix's body ignited with blazing flames.
Avoiding the fireball coming from behind, Yang Yu quickly retreated and exhaled a breath.
But before Yang Yu could take a breath, the flames that began to burn blazingly on the Green Fire Phoenix exploded from the Green Fire Phoenix's body again, turning into a rapidly spreading ring of fire.
Using [Red Blood to Clear the Way], Yang Yu turned into a red bullet despite the damage and broke through the ring of fire.
Yang Yu attacked again. The green fire phoenix flapped its wings and soared upwards, easily avoiding Yang Yu's attack.
The blazing fire ring touched the wall and was bounced into countless large fireballs. When the large fireball touched the wall, it was divided into smaller fireballs.
One divided into two, two divided into four... Tiny fireballs spread all over the ground, turning the ground into a beating sea of fire.
Yang Yu did not get entangled with those tiny fireballs, but climbed directly onto the wall and ran to the area where Bai Jin and Ias could support them.
Ias fired a light arrow at the right time to treat Yang Yu, Luo Luosi used water magic to cool down Yang Yu, and Bai Jin concentrated on chanting powerful magic, preparing to catch him off guard when the green fire phoenix approached.
However, the Green Fire Phoenix did not directly chase Yang Yu. Instead, it ran into the blind spot that Bai Jin and the others could not attack. It turned sideways and flew against the wall. The wall where Yang Yu was located sprayed out streams of water. An even bigger pillar of fire.
A trace of blood red flashed in his eyes, and he quickly avoided the pillar of fire raised by the call of the green fire phoenix. Yang Yu ran away from the area where Bai Jin and the others could support him, and ran towards the side facing Bai Jin and the others.
Waving its wings, the green fire phoenix flew towards Yang Yu. It flapped its wings gently and launched countless violent wind blades.
Yang Yu stood on the spot and set up his shield. An illusory shield spread out from his shield. The wind blades were all blocked by Yang Yu's shield. Unfortunately, these winds were not just winds. Countless flames followed the spiral. The wind blade bloomed around Yang Yu, spinning into a flame tornado.
Once caught in this flame tornado, the consequences would be disastrous.
[Red Blood Clears the Way], Yang Yu has just used it once and is still cooling down.
It seemed that he had no means of escape.
But he brought He Meng with him just to prevent this situation from happening.
The green fire phoenix opened its mouth, and the green flames continued to gather. Yang Yu took out He Meng from under the shield, which had shrunk a bit under the high temperature.
