Chapter 1722: Chapter 1722

Immediately, five Winged Night Shadows changed direction, swooping toward Gaven, their bodies exuding a bone-chilling cold even from afar.

Gaven folded his dragon wings and plummeted swiftly toward the volcanic magma.

Just when he was a few dozen meters from the magma pool, the surrounding rock walls suddenly shattered, and three Winged Night Shadows flew out.

These Dark Witches were terrifyingly cunning and meticulous, leaving ambushes below and hiding them behind thick rock walls to avoid detection.

Most detection magic, including True Sight, can only detect energy forms of invisibility or illusions, not physical entities.

If those Dark Witches had used any other ambush forces, they could still pose a threat to Gaven, but it was the Winged Night Shadows—a perfect match for his Shadow Legion, ready to answer his call at any time.

Undead Vengeance Realm, activate!

Gaven raised the War Ravager high.

A black mist surged forth, and countless shadows emerged, charging toward those flying Nightshadows, engaging in a fierce aerial shadow duel.

This entanglement was destined to be lengthy, as both were composed of negative energy, possessing strong damage reduction and magic immunity, even boasting formidable recovery abilities.

Gaven didn’t expect to kill them, just needed to hold them off for a while, stepping on the Lizard Queen’s head, heading toward the magma pool.

During descent, a fruit towering higher than a three-story building began to slowly emerge in front of Gaven, from nothing to existence. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

It was also gourd-shaped, but semi-transparent, with blazing flames inside and countless phantom images of flying beasts bobbing up and down.

Upon its appearance, the magma pool below immediately began to boil, with countless visible Fire Elements rapidly converging toward the Fire Totem Fruit.

The number of these Fire Elements was so great that they appeared almost substantial.

The Fire Totem Fruit seemed to possess life, starting to pulse, with increasing frequency.

Without hesitation, Gaven commanded loudly, "Throw it down, then run."

Without a word, the Lizard Queen flicked her head, tossing the Fire Totem Fruit from her crown while flying upward with Gaven, not looking back. What could startle even this Half-Elf devil couldn’t be ordinary.

Once the giant gourd fruit left its perch, numerous massive roots, appearing like tree roots yet made of blazing flames, extended from it, while the magma pool below, like a magnet under a super magnet, reached out with a magma pillar to embrace it.

The magma pool showed anomalies once again, as three Fire Elemental Elders, standing seventeen to eighteen meters tall, emerged, lunging toward the Fire Totem Fruit.

"Such tenacity, just how many tricks did they prepare here?" Gaven was quite frustrated.

It was the first time he had encountered an enemy with more backup plans than himself.

One link after another, he started to understand how his enemy felt—stifled.

He had initially planned to lead the Lizard Queen back to hold off the three Fire Elemental Elders and buy the Fire Totem Fruit time to take root, but upon seeing the flames inside the fruit compressed to the extreme, warning bells rang in his mind, "Run!"

After speaking, he left the Lizard Queen behind, directly activating the Anywhere Door, jumping to several hundred meters in the air.

No sooner did Gaven escape than the lower half of the Fire Totem Fruit exploded, with countless flaming roots swarming out, piercing the three ambush Fire Elemental Elders.

These Fire Elemental Elders seemed to have met their nemesis, emitting a hopeless low howl. No matter how they struggled, they couldn’t escape the flaming roots, as they were made of the same flames. Their hands touching them were directly absorbed by the flaming roots.

They could clearly feel their fiery essence being absorbed by the giant fruit before them, becoming its nourishment to take root and sprout.

Attacking the Fire Totem Fruit with fire elements was like throwing a meat bun at a dog—gone without return.

When Gaven took a moment to observe from above, those three Fire Elemental Elders had already turned from hunters into prey, densely covered in flaming roots. As those roots pulsed, the Fire Elemental Elders shrank visibly, while the Fire Totem Fruit grew just as visibly.

By now calling it a fruit was inappropriate; after absorbing the Fire Elemental Elders’ elemental essence, it began to grow wildly. Not only did its trunk thicken and grow several times taller, but its crown also slowly took shape, with thick vine tendrils emerging all composed of raging flames. Even from a distance, Gaven could feel the terrifying heat it emitted—this was a Flame Totem Tree.

As the Red Feather Witch and the Fire Sprite Witch tangled with the Shadow Dragon, they simultaneously emitted an excited low howl, their flames growing even more intense, resonating with the madly growing Flame Totem Tree. Desperately, they tugged the Shadow Dragon closer to the Flame Totem Tree, and the growing fiery tendrils already numbered four, each twenty meters long, stretching toward the sky. As soon as the Shadow Dragon fell into the net, they would bind it tightly and press it into the magma pool.
