Chapter 687: Chapter 575 Huang Feng Endures Fire

Black Fire Innovation was preparing to offer a sacrifice to the Dark Flame.

Huang Feng was adorned with a floral wreath beforehand, several silent women coated her face with prayers written in Secret Script, a powerful curse taking effect on Huang Feng to ensure she would be a suitable vessel for Blackfire.

She felt like a doll, being watched, being carved.

On the way to the Island of Darkness, Huang Feng had been crying the whole time, tears silently falling.

She didn’t know why, but when the island truly appeared before her eyes, she stopped crying, replaced by a deathly, desolate despair.

This island was located on the outskirts of the Taiya Archipelago, at the center of the Mysterious Vortex, with a towering peak at the very center surrounded by lush woodland, emitting an air of death.

On the Island of Darkness, a dense formation of "Spearman" type robots stood guard in rows.

These cost-effective, highly expandable Spearmen had long been used as auxiliary troops, providing defensive firepower for the fortress strongholds of Black Fire Innovation.

The Spearman robots were armed with heavy machine guns on their arms and could raise shoulder cannons from their backs for heavy firepower; their armor was also significantly solid, not easily penetrable.

Their weakness was their poor intelligence, merely executing set programs; only in the past 2 years had some units been upgraded with advanced intelligence modules to enhance market competitiveness.

"How many Spearmen are on the island?" Huang Feng felt a trace of despair, so many Spearman robots, like a metallic barrier cutting off the island from the outside world, plus the numerous military bunkers, fortresses, and anti-aircraft guns.

"...Over 2200, and there are 1500 more reinforcements." Rolo pushed Huang Feng from behind, forcing her to advance on the island.

Walking on the island, as she neared the central peak where Blackfire was buried, Huang Feng always felt watched.

Being stared at, being observed, attention focused on her.

"I am so scared," Huang Feng murmured; she was the most important sacrifice today.

"...Become fire...a vigorous Power...burn away everything, the New World will be reborn from the ashes," Rolo said softly.

"A40 will definitely come," Huang Feng couldn’t help but shed tears.

"Definitely coming to deliver heads... I know... It prevents you from becoming stronger, prevents you from becoming a more complete Witch," Rolo’s voice was very hoarse.

As Huang Feng passed by these Spearman robots, they stood as still as sculptures, with only a few Spearmen patrolling along the mountain path, heading towards the summit.

At the mountain’s peak, a cluster of black flames burned fiercely, illuminating half the sky, reflecting the blue sky into an eerie yellow-brown hue.

That was the source of the black flames, where Black Fire Innovation had first discovered it.

"It’s consuming us..." Rolo walked uphill, "The black flame craves more sacrifices and offerings..."

Huang Feng saw a large number of military stations, tunnels, pits, bunkers, and anti-air sites around her, stuffed with more motionless Spearmen, each tall and exceedingly hard.

"You turned the island into a fortress?" Huang Feng increasingly realized that A40 couldn’t possibly save her, and neither could Nestor Corporation.

"...The most Spearmen... the most missile arrays... anti-air holes... We cannot allow any enemies to disturb Blackfire..." Rolo looked around at the tight defenses, the Spearmen brought in from other places lining up one by one, the greater the occasion, the stronger the defenses, the more machines supplemented.

"A40 will die here," Huang Feng suddenly realized.

A40 would die trying to save her. Huang Feng shuddered. No, don’t come, don’t come to die.

The space mothership couldn’t possibly engage in battle either because it was too big and would be detected en route.

A40... Huang Feng wished it would suddenly come to her side, appear out of nowhere. No, don’t come, don’t come to die.

They arrived at the gigantic pit at the mountain summit, similar to the mouth of a volcano, with an abysmal depth inside the circular pit, flames constantly leaping from below, burning the sky, the unquenchable Blackfire providing endless Power here.

Two Dark Flame Witches floated off the ground nearby.

This was the first time Huang Feng had truly seen Witches completely transformed into black flames; they looked like ceaselessly burning fire beings, black as night, like haunting specters.

Huang Feng’s heart pounded, was this the reason she felt fear? She would become something like this.

"...The Witches have become stronger," Rolo observed the two Dark Flame Witches, "...After burning in the black flames, they each gained a Power equivalent to the Supreme Witch... Now the black flame has received enough sacrifices... and will devour one more... You are ready."

Huang Feng’s face showed a vague, inscrutable expression,

Nestor Corporation had once promised help, but they didn’t deliver. The Witch Goddess was just a dream.

A40, only A40 would come to save Huang Feng at such a time.

But it was simply powerless to confront so many Spearmen on the island, let alone two Dark Flame Witches.

"Haha..." Huang Feng laughed with a harsh sound.

What remained was only death.

Prisoners were brought up gradually by truck, several Spearmen escorting the vehicles, which were filled in the back with slaves and laborers looted from various places, their faces covered, oblivious to everything.

The truck raised the carriage, opened the rear tailgate, and whooshed them down into the Black Fire Abyss.

The black flames quickly grew more intense, wrapping around these sacrifices, consuming them, turning them into fuel.

Huang Feng stared blankly at everything in front of her, truckload after truckload of people, one hundred, two hundred... lives turned into firewood.

"How many more lives does Blackfire want to consume?" Huang Feng said weakly.

"...Soon, we will feed away everyone... until Blackfire is truly awakened," Rolo took off his gloves, a roaring fire gushing from the break, forming a blazing inferno.
