When Amon walked out of the canyon where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located, another Amon was already waiting outside.
This was an aggregate Amon, formed by gathering many Worms of Times, specially sent to escort the immortal herbs.
"Here…" Amon, emerging from the canyon, lifted the cloth bag he was carrying on his shoulder to the front, and took out the Soul Solidifying Grass wrapped in soul power from his bosom, handing both to the newly arrived Amon.
"Thanks for the hard work…" The aggregate Amon nodded, accepting the immortal herbs.
To maximize the concentration of power and ensure the safe return of the immortal herbs, the Amons acting as "signal base stations" also gathered together, thus severing their connection with the main body.
"Leave four Amons behind to monitor the movements in the valley. This is the last order issued by the main body."
The aggregate Amon looked at the Amon merging with him with a smile, and three streams of light flew out from his body, integrating into the latter's body.
"Ah… This…" The Amon who brought out the immortal herbs opened his mouth, hesitating to speak.
"I'm sure we are all avatars that the main body dislikes."
The voice of an Amon echoed in his mind.
"Yes, yes, this is persecution of avatars!" An Amon complained.
"Clearly, we are all components of his personality. Without us, this part of his personality would be scattered among the other Amons."
"It's because of personalities like yours that the main body leaves you behind," said the Amon who brought out the immortal herbs.
Monitoring the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located was definitely a high-risk job, requiring not only evading the powerful soul beasts in the surroundings but also guarding against being discovered by Dugu Bo.
When splitting avatars, Amon could not completely control the personality of each Amon, only roughly determine their tendencies.
Among all the Amon avatars, the closer the personality was to the main body, the higher the value. Of course, there was no Amon completely identical to the main body, as this would confuse the main body's position.
And those who were left behind, except for the Amon who was poisoned, were all more unrestrained and relatively less valuable.
Although if one of the Amons died, his personality would be scattered to all the avatars, this did not prevent the Amons from assigning dangerous tasks to them.
"Aren't you being left behind too…"
"The purpose of me being left behind is to preside over and supervise you to complete the task properly," the Amon who brought out the immortal herbs said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Oh, because you're poisoned, your value has also greatly decreased… That's the truth… This is truly a sad story for Amon."
There was an Amon who didn't care at all about his existence, mocking the poisoned Amon with a gleeful attitude.
"Shut up!"
…
By a small stream, Yan Jin looked at the water surface reflecting the firelight with the sound of gurgling water. The firelight came from a fiery red soul beast on the opposite bank of the stream.
It looked like a large lion, with wings growing from its back, and two horns curving forward from both sides of its head. Two sharp fangs protruded from its upper lip.
A tail with flames burning at the end swayed casually. Its limbs were slender, and flames also burned on its four feet.
"Meow…" The soul beast looked at Yan Jin, who was not even as big as its head, on the opposite bank, revealing obvious curiosity.
Yan Jin tilted her head, recalling the characteristics of the target that Amon had described to her before coming, and shouted excitedly:
"Amon, old man, come quickly, it's here!"
As she spoke, she had already thrown a punch.
"Great Fireball!"
In this dangerous place, there were naturally many Worm of Time avatars existing in her body.
While attacking, the Worms of Times had already merged with her martial soul, increasing her soul power level and continuously replenishing her consumption.
"Be careful, this guy's age is definitely over ten thousand years… I estimate it's around thirteen thousand years old," Amon's voice echoed in her mind.
"That means Soul Emperor level… I feel like I can fight it!" Yan Jin said with some confidence.
However, the next moment, her expression changed drastically, because the magma bombardment on the opponent only made it take a few steps back, without any injuries on its body.
It had extremely strong resistance to high temperatures!
All along, Yan Jin had been able to fight across a large stage by relying on the terrifying destructive power of the magma martial soul, but now, facing the Flame King Dragon, the effect was greatly reduced.
"Help… Old man, I can't beat it." She decisively turned around and ran.
The Flame King Dragon shook its head, somewhat dazed by Yan Jin's punch to its head.
Although its age was not too high, there were very few beings in the Sunset Forest who dared to provoke it. After the initial shock, it reacted and let out an angry roar.
"Meow… Owww!"
It opened its wings and instantly pounced above Yan Jin, opening its mouth to spit out cherry-red flames.
Sensing the danger, Yan Jin used her second soul skill, "Soul Power Ejection", to empower herself, and suddenly shot out several meters, dodging the flames.
She felt a strong threat from the cherry-red flames.
"Amon, it's so strange… It clearly doesn't feel very hot, but it's very dangerous," she frowned and questioned in her mind.
"This is the Flame King Dragon's ability. It can control the flames to burn the target it wants to burn, without harming others," Amon replied.
"Is this the target ability of my next soul ring?"
"Yes, look closely at its flames."
While dodging, Yan Jin observed the cherry-red flames and found that the Flame King Dragon had not sprayed again except for the initial flame.
But the flames continued to exist, and they rushed towards Yan Jin like intelligent fire snakes. Where the flames passed, not even a blade of grass was ignited.
"What's the use of that?" Yan Jin asked, puzzled.
Amon explained: "Flames can burn objects because thermal energy will transfer from high-temperature objects to low-temperature objects, and the low-temperature object cannot withstand the transferred heat, so it will be 'destroyed'.
"The Flame King Dragon's flames will not burn objects outside its target, indicating that thermal energy is not transferred and energy is not lost, which allows its flames to continue to exist with almost no consumption."
Yan Jin was still confused.
Amon continued: "If you obtain this ability, then in the future, the magma you create will not lose heat as long as it does not touch the target you want to attack, and can continue to exist without consuming much soul power to maintain it."
Yan Jin's maintenance of the magma she created consumed soul power, and this consumption was directly proportional to the volume of magma summoned.
If it was just covering the fist and fighting in close combat, then the consumption would naturally be small enough to be ignored, but once a large area of magma was created for saturation attacks, then the consumption required for maintenance would become very huge.
"I understand. In short, I just need to absorb its soul ring with the idea of obtaining the 'ability to control heat loss', right?"
"Yes." Amon did not continue to speak, as for whether Yan Jin really understood… he was not too sure.
Based on past experience, Yan Jin didn't understand, and didn't need to understand… She was obedient enough, and that was enough.
