Chapter 277 All Parties Gather at the Summit of Fire Pillar Mountain
Materials that can increase the success rate of Soul-level Elemental Seeds are extremely rare. The Guardian Mages who came with Nan Yu never expected that the Fire Calamity Fruit could make the synthesis rate of Soul Seeds reach 100%. This kind of thing is a priceless treasure. How could they not be excited?
Nan Yu then began directing the other mage guards to construct the climbing ladder. As Nan Yu and his group began their ascent, on the other side of Fire Pillar Mountain, a group of people dressed in the blue-yellow adventure suits of the Hunter Alliance had just arrived. They, too, did not choose to ascend the mountain from the inside but instead opted to climb it.
Before they came here, they had received information through special channels that the volcano here had erupted, and the cave leading to the mountain was filled with lava and impossible to step in. Of course, even if there had been no lava eruption, they would not have entered the cave.
The Hunter Alliance's intelligence system is outstanding among many forces. Before coming here, they knew that countless Crimson Flame Rat and Two-Faced Turtle Demon lived in the caves of Fire Pillar Mountain.
The group of hunter mages had made preparations in advance for the steep mountain steps. The leader of the group, a mage with crisscrossing scars on his forehead, was illuminated by a moon-white starlight, and then a huge mountain beast appeared in front of them.
The claws of mountain-climbing beasts are very special; they can easily pierce through mountains and form internal hooks to firmly grip steep mountain walls.
In addition to the Hunter Alliance and the Dunhuang Guard Zone, the Dunhuang Magic Association also sent a team. Less than two kilometers away from the Hunter Alliance team, on the mountainside, there was a magician with a special earth-type spirit seed, walking on the cliff face as if it were flat ground.
The man climbed up the mountainside, securing any protruding rocks he encountered with ropes. He continued this process, constantly securing ropes as he went up, and the members of the Magic Association who remained below would then climb up using the secured ropes.
Besides the Hunter Alliance, Dunhuang Guard Zone, and Dunhuang Magic Association, a large number of magicians still cross the Sand River to search for resources left behind by the fire calamity in the northern corner of the Scorched Plains.
They might not be able to snatch particularly precious treasures, but they can easily find fragments of spirit seeds or spirit seeds scattered everywhere.
At the summit of Fire Pillar Mountain, Jiang Han and Mo Fan emerged from their respective tents and saw Jiang Feng still sitting on a branch of the Star Language Tree, carefully protecting the dazzling Fire Calamity Fruit. Mo Fan asked in surprise, "Why are you guarding the Fire Calamity Fruit?"
Sitting on the Starry Sky Tree, Jiang Feng waved her arms, answering Mo Fan's question in a special way.
"You mean, I should wait a few more days and then I'll know?" Mo Fan asked uncertainly.
Jiang Feng nodded slightly, then exchanged a few more words with Jiang Han. Jiang Han then took Mo Fan away from Xingyu Tianshu. This was something they had discussed last night: to find the three-headed python today, kill it, and exchange it for money when they got back.
"Someone might find their way here today, so you need to be extra careful," Jiang Han said to Jiang Feng on the Starry Sky Tree.
After saying that, Jiang Han led Mo Fan back into the Fire Cloud Forest. The trees were fiery red, the trunks were crimson, and there were two bright red Fire Cloud Fruits. As soon as Mo Fan saw them, he jumped up the tree trunk to pick the fruit.
"You son of a bitch, can't you tone it down a bit? The Flame Witch might come after you." Jiang Han laughed and cursed.
"It can't be that bad, I just picked a few Fire Cloud Fruits." Mo Fan said, picking a Fire Cloud Fruit and taking a bite. The sweet juice burst in his mouth. Although he had eaten some yesterday, he hadn't really tasted it properly. Today, he was going to eat his fill.
The Fire Cloud Forest was exceptionally hot during the day, but since both of them had fire immunity, they didn't feel anything.
But others were different. For example, Nan Yu and his group, who had just reached the summit, were walking a few hundred meters through the Fire Cloud Forest when they noticed something was wrong. They were all wandering around in the same spot.
That's right, they got lost in the Fire Cloud Forest. In fact, after arriving here, they didn't know which way to go. The Fire Cloud Forest was too big, so they could only wander around aimlessly.
Nan Yu remembered that the old man who had been here once said that the Fire Calamity Fruit grows more luxuriantly in forests where the temperature is higher.
"Didn't you hear any strange noises? Like some kind of demon sticking out its tongue?" a bronze-skinned mage officer asked.
"Qiao Jian, aren't you being a bit paranoid? It's so hot here, what kind of demons could there be?" another female mage said.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead. She was incredibly thirsty. Just as she was about to reach for her backpack and water bottle, a huge head snapped into her and quickly disappeared.
Just over ten minutes after the female mage disappeared, the bronze-skinned mage in front of her called out to her because he was thirsty.
"Ye Zi, do you have any water left? If so, could I borrow some to drink? Ye Zi!!"
He called out for a long time but no one answered him. This made the monk realize that something was wrong. When he turned around, there was no one there.
Immediately, he saw obvious drag marks among the fallen leaves and hurriedly shouted, "Commander Nan Yu, something has happened!"
"Ye Zi, who was on lookout duty, is missing. Judging from the marks on the ground, they may have been attacked, and they didn't even have a chance to react."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly raised her hand to signal the entire team to stop. She then began scanning the quiet woods. After a moment, Nan Yu spoke up, "Let's go back and look for her. She might have gotten separated from the group."
P.S.: Please vote for me!
To make them easier to distinguish, let's give the two undead giant lizard pseudo-dragons some names. The first one, the one that fought Jiang Han in Jinlin Wasteland, will be called Dragon Big, and the other one that advanced will be called Dragon Two. As for why they're called that, it's mainly because the author is terrible at naming things.
Long Da: His overall combat strength is slightly stronger than that of a regular commander, but slightly weaker than that of a Grand Commander. He can spew venom and ice.
Dragon Two: It successfully advanced after the Giant Death Lizard became an undead during its advancement period. It is currently at the Commander level and is relatively weak. It can spew venom and has some Earth-type skills, such as Rock Rain (spitting out a rain of rocks).
