Chapter 673

"I barely make a living by stealing some odds and ends from street vendors. I know every street and alley well. In order to survive, I have learned all kinds of sneaky skills. Because of this, I am always chased everywhere." Saifei said this with a wry smile on her face, as if she had returned to those unpleasant days.

"One day, I heard a few adventurers talking about an ancient ruin at the market. It was said that there were countless rare treasures hidden there. For me at the time, this was simply a huge temptation. I thought to myself that if I could find a treasure from the ruins, it would be enough for me to live a good life for a long time. So, I hid it from everyone and secretly set off in the direction of the ruins."

"The ruins are located on the edge of Omphalos. There is no one living around them, only windblown sand and barren deserts. When I finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins, the scene in front of me stunned me. The huge stone door was half-closed, and various strange patterns were carved on it."

"I pushed open the stone door carefully, and a stale smell hit me in the face, choking me and making me cough."

"It was dark and damp inside the ruins, with a faint fluorescent light flickering on the walls, barely illuminating the way forward."

"I went deeper into the narrow passage, taking every step very carefully, for fear of triggering some mechanism."

"Sure enough, I encountered the first trap not long after I walked. The ground suddenly cracked open, revealing a bottomless pit with sharp wooden stakes all over the bottom."

"I was quick-witted and quickly grabbed the wall next to me, barely avoiding falling." Saifei'er's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she was still frightened when she recalled the scene.

"In this way, I dodged various traps along the way and finally came to the depths of the ruins. In a huge stone chamber, I saw a treasure chest emitting light. At that moment, I was so excited that I almost forgot all the dangers, thinking that it must be filled with gold, silver and treasures."

"I couldn't wait to open the treasure chest, and a dazzling light instantly shot out, almost blinding my eyes. When I adjusted to the light and saw the contents of the treasure chest clearly, I found that there was only a gem emitting a strange light."

"I was so disappointed. I thought I had found a fortune, but it was just a broken gem. I was about to throw it away."

"Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears."

(Little guy, don't underestimate this gem, it is the crystallization of the power of "Titan of Trickery" Zagreus.)

"I was so scared that I almost jumped up. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone. The voice continued: You are destined to this fire. If you can control its power, it will change your destiny."

"After saying that, a light flashed, and suddenly some new methods of controlling the power of this gem appeared in my mind."

“Since then, I have been traveling around with this spark.”

"At the beginning, I couldn't control this power at all, and often caused some unexpected troubles."

"Once, when I was stealing something, I accidentally triggered the power of the fire, which resulted in a bunch of weird phantoms that scared everyone. I was chased for several blocks because of this."

"But as time went on, I gradually mastered the characteristics of this power, and learned how to use it to protect myself, and... hey, to steal something more valuable."

"But, this fire is so powerful, isn't there anyone coming to snatch it? And... Zagreus gave the fire away so easily?" March Seven couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Of course there is. Ever since I got this fire, there have been people coveting its power."

"Some are greedy and want to use it to gain endless wealth, while others are evil and want to use it to rule the world."

"They either set traps or directly robbed me by force. I was in danger all the way."

She frowned and lost herself in memories. "As for why Zagreus gave me the fire so easily...I have also thought about this question."

“Perhaps, as that voice said, I am destined to this fire.”

"Zagreles is a secretive person. Who can really guess what he is thinking? Maybe he just wants to see what kind of waves a weak mortal can stir up in this world with his fire."

Saifei shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Anyway, this fire is in my hands now, I won't let anyone take it away easily, and I want to do something meaningful with it, just like now, fighting the black tide with everyone."

At this time, Tibao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. Originally, Xiadie thought that Tibao was feeling unwell and had no strength to speak after meeting Saifeier, but it seemed that was not the case. Tibao was just thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Then... why don't you go back to Ohma? Aglaya has been looking for you for who knows how long, and... she also caught the thief spirit Bartrus in the city to ask about your whereabouts. It doesn't know where you went either. I don't know if it wants to hide your whereabouts or it really doesn't know..."

"Ahaha... So Aglaya looked for me, how come I didn't know..." When Saifei heard this, her smile instantly became a little stiff. She laughed awkwardly a few times, and her eyes began to wander around, not daring to look Xiadie in the eye.

She scratched her head, and her cat ears twitched nervously a few times, as if she was trying to think about how to respond to this question.

Xiadie continued, "Saifir, Aglaiya is very worried about you. We all know that you have your own ideas, but it is much safer to be together than to go it alone. Moreover, fighting against the black tide is our common mission. With your help, our chances of winning will be greater."

"I know everyone is good to me, and Aglaya has always taken good care of me."

"But... the power in me is too special. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for everyone. I don't want Ohma to be in danger because of me, and I don't want to implicate everyone."

"Of course we have to face difficulties together. Ask Xiadie, we have encountered so many dangers along the way, but didn't we overcome them all together?" Sanyueqi stepped forward and said.

Sai Feier looked at San Yue Qi's sincere expression and nodded gently, "Okay, I understand. After I leave the ancient city this time, I will go back to find Aglaiya. But now, let's solve the trouble in front of us first."

As Saifeier finished speaking, a huge black tide monster slowly walked out of the fog. Its body was larger than any monster they had encountered before, like a small mountain.

The two blood-red eyes of the Black Tide Monster exuded a terrifying aura of cruelty and violence. It stared at everyone viciously, as if it wanted to eat them alive.

It opened its bloody mouth, revealing a row of sharp fangs. The breath exhaled from its mouth was filled with a strong stench of decay and fishiness, which mixed with the surrounding black mist, making people feel nauseous.

When Saifei saw this, several cat-like shadows spread out around her. These shadows were agile, with ears erect, tails swaying, and the same firm light flashing in their eyes as Saifei's, protecting everyone tightly in the middle.

"Everyone be careful, this monster looks very tricky!" Saifei warned loudly.

Lin Yu raised his sword and stabbed at the leg of the Black Tide Beast, trying to restrain the beast. "I'll restrain it, and you guys look for opportunities to attack its weaknesses!"

However, the Black Tide Beast sensed the attack and violently swung its arms, which were as thick as tree trunks, creating a whistling gust of wind and smashed towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed. Facing the powerful attack coming towards him, he did not retreat at all and retreated quickly.

As he retreated, the aura around him suddenly changed, and destructive energy surged in his body.

In an instant, a powerful aura of destruction swept across the battlefield. That aura carried endless destructive power, not much weaker than the thick deathly aura around it.

I saw a black light blooming from his palm and shooting towards the arm of the Black Tide Beast.

The big hand that smashed towards Lin Yu, the moment it came into contact with this destructive energy, was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. It was instantly annihilated by Lin Yu's attack and turned into nothingness.

Black smoke rose up and a burning smell filled the air.

But Lin Yu did not stop. He had to press on to win, but he couldn't just take all the limelight for himself. He was also curious about how powerful Sai Fei'er was at this moment.

Then, he mobilized the energy in his body again and unleashed the energy of abundance.

This energy is completely different from the energy of destruction and is full of vitality and vigor.

As he moved, the ground instantly gave birth to vibrant branches. Those branches quickly emerged from the cracked soil and grew wildly as if they had life.

The tender green branches and leaves sparkled in the dim light, forming a sharp contrast with the dead grass around them.

The branches were driven and quickly wrapped around the limbs of the black tide monster.

They intertwined with each other, becoming tighter and tighter, binding the Black Tide Beast.

The Black Tide Beast sensed the danger and began to struggle frantically, twisting its limbs hard in an attempt to break free from the branches. The ground shook violently as a result, and the surrounding building debris fell down.

Immediately afterwards, March 7 saw this and took action immediately.

She shot out icy arrows and hit the branches.

The ice arrows exploded and turned into ice crystals that spread out, covering the branches with a thick layer of ice and increasing their hardness.

The originally flexible branches became as hard as steel under the ice, more effectively restricting the movements of the Black Tide Beast.

Xiadie's eyes flashed, and she grasped the hilt of the sickle. The dark purple energy gathered on the sickle like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, a layer of rich dark light wrapped around the sickle.

She turned around and rushed towards the Black Tide Beast like a ghost, so fast that people could hardly see her figure.

The sickle drew sharp arcs in the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and slashed towards the back of the Black Tide Beast.

The Black Tide Beast felt the attack from behind, roared angrily, and tried to turn around to resist, but its limbs were bound by branches and ice, making its movements slow.

Just when Xiadie's sickle was about to hit the Black Tide Beast's back, the Black Tide Beast struggled hard, and one of its bound arms broke free from the branches and ice, and swept towards Xiadie.

The arm was packed with powerful strength, bringing up a gust of wind that made Xiadie's hair fly wildly and her clothes rustle.
