Chapter 856: Chapter 854: Ignite (28) Chapter 856: Chapter 854: Ignite (28) The three Logans in front of them had undoubtedly caused a deep shock to the Hunting Squad.
“What’s going on?”
Aike, who was about to deal with Fu Qian, couldn’t help but widen her eyes and ask.
“I still know too little about this place.”
Fu Qian had no interest in answering her but seriously repeated the evaluation Xiumeng had once made of him in the bar.
…
This answer rendered Aike speechless; she had subconsciously felt that Logan had changed this way because of Fu Qian’s actions.
Now she had realized that the anomaly had already appeared, and Fu Qian hadn’t had any ill intentions; he had merely used this method as a reminder.
“This…”
The next moment she looked towards Xiumeng.
His face, originally pallid, now looked as stiff as if it were fake.
Such great ups and downs in life, the situation was originally promising, but then this sudden change occurred.
“Shouldn’t be like this… Logan?”
While muttering to himself, he looked up, trying to call out again.
This time, the three human-like figures looked over in unison, but their reactions were not quite the same.
Similar to the existence of Crimson Angels, one stood still for two seconds, then suddenly, as if startled, leaped and ran towards the distance on all fours.
The skeleton was even more exaggerated, heading straight towards Fu Qian.
Holding a grudge because of the Air Bullet just now?
Watching the continuously growing bone spurs on the skeleton, Fu Qian didn’t even bother to move and just stood there.
Sure enough, the latter slowed down halfway to a stop, as if restrained by some invisible force.
Just now, because of his action, Xiumeng had first unleashed a restraining power on him, which hadn’t been lifted yet.
However, the skeleton’s ranking seemed quite high, nearly as formidable as a healthy Logan.
Even under the influence of the restraint, it forced its way forward step by step.
Pressure was now on Xiumeng’s side.
Fu Qian ignored it, smilingly looking at Xiumeng.
The next moment, the pressure on him suddenly decreased, and the skeleton’s movement finally came to a near stop.
With a gloomy face, Xiumeng chose to completely shift the restraining target.
“I think I have already proved my sincerity, and it seems you’ve made a little mistake,”
the freed Fu Qian pointed at him.
“Now can you tell me what I don’t know yet?”
“…Without fire, fire cannot be obtained.”
Unexpectedly, Fu Qian was first concerned about this, Xiumeng hesitated slightly but eventually spoke.
Hm?
Fu Qian frowned lightly, signaling with his eyes the fervent environment.
“Firstly, it doesn’t seem to be the case, and secondly, even if we assume it is, logically it doesn’t add up.”
“Having fire to obtain fire, how did you initially come by these talismans?”
“You don’t understand, some changes happen silently, and opportunities are fleeting,”
Xiumeng quickly explained.
“From entering this place, you started to fall into it, soon you’ll be unable to grasp that divine death.”
“Unless, at the very beginning, you acquire flames in a very short time, and use them to bless yourself, which will keep you unaffected.”
“When I first entered here, I was lucky to have a conflict with a Demigod, and after killing him, I realized this.”
Indeed.
Fu Qian recalled the feeling of the swirling Ghosts earlier, vigorously nodding.
“So the marking you set earlier, and Old Master Stoss’s attempt to kill me using the talisman, what were they for?”
“Flame Blessing will continuously weaken until it completely loses effect, and near that condition, higher-ranked powers might become uncontrollable.”
So that was it, they used big moves to kill him and even spent extra talisman to ensure success?
Truly dreadful.
…
“Of course, now I don’t understand either.”
Skull Logan was under control, but his real body suddenly turned around, taking steps towards the direction of the tomb.
Xiumeng watched the scene unblinkingly, his tone somewhat somber.
“It shouldn’t be like this… How could there be so many flames directly present.”
“To be honest, this isn’t the scene I wanted to see either.”
Fu Qian sighed.
After all, the bigger the fire, the more painful it is to put out.
Moreover, although Xiumeng was doubting himself now, the information he shared wasn’t entirely useless.
If nothing else, this Secluded and Deep and fire seemed to be two opposing forces.
One lets you “blend into” the world, the other helps you maintain independence.
And the Saint in front of them was undoubtedly a combination of these contradictions.
As for the whole Unseen Hillock, according to Yuan Fang’s description, it clearly still based itself on Secluded and Deep, and the anomalies probably appeared recently.
This must also be why there was this mission.
…
Okay, that was the analysis, now there was a most urgent issue–fire was already burning, how to extinguish it?
Directly kill the possible ultimate source, the Saint?
Or rather do the opposite, following Logan’s way by drawing all the fire onto oneself, trying the Three Purities as One?
Mental and physical split was, after all, not a big deal.
Considering there was no sign to demonstrate which method was superior, it seemed he should try the first method first.
…
Thoughts racing, the next moment Fu Qian breezed past Logan’s figure, releasing consecutive Air Bullets aimed at that giant tongue.
The movement from Fu Qian clearly made the Hunting Squad somewhat nervous.
However, after seeing his actions, the group couldn’t help but fall silent again, finding his behavior more and more incomprehensible.
Fu Qian didn’t need their understanding; at this moment, he saw something he least wanted to witness.
The initially crawling giant tongue, with an eerie twist, narrowly dodged the Air Bullet.
Just like the previous Ghosts.
He was indeed blending into it, gradually losing the ability to harm these things.
There was a reason to suspect that in a while, he might completely lose any means against it.
Fortunately, someone had already proposed using Flame Blessing on oneself to rid the influence.
The next moment, unflinchingly, Fu Qian directly confronted an incoming ring of fire.
[Reassign failed, SAN Points reduced by 1]
[Current SAN Points: 41]
This…
Almost simultaneously, amidst the failure prompt, Fu Qian realized he was returning to the warehouse.
Getting tainted with fire led to direct failure?

[SAN Points reduced by 1, entering containment scene]
The question lingered in his mind even as the prompt hadn’t yet finished.
It sounded like he wouldn’t even have the chance to watch a replay, starting a new containment attempt directly.
Was it because of the Re-Assignment?
Fu Qian quickly figured out the reason.
It was now midnight, the deadline for the mission, and there was no room for further delay.
