Chapter 151 The Fire of Heavenly Tribulation
After arriving at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, in order to find Yan Ji, all subsequent actions will be carried out according to Lingling's instructions.
Lingling took out four unique cone-shaped instruments from her bag and instructed, "You guys go and bury these detectors in the soil."
This conical instrument looks like a gyroscope, but its metal shell reveals a high-tech texture. The conical instrument is called an element surveyor and can accurately measure the concentration of elements in this area.
Elemental creatures like Yan Ji prefer to live in places where the concentration of fire is five times that of regular areas. However, when nurturing offspring, in order to ensure that the new life has powerful fire power at birth, Yan Ji's mother will choose to build a nest in a place rich in fire spirit seeds.
Places with a strong fire element will naturally breed flame spirit seeds. Once the flame spirit seeds are found, the whereabouts of Lady Yan will be obvious.
The element detector is an ideal tool for searching for spirit seeds and their fragments. It can indicate the potential location of spirit seeds by monitoring changes in element concentrations in the air.
The reason why it is ideal is that these detectors are powerful, but they are accompanied by certain risks every time they are operated.
Just as we experienced when assessing the density of monsters in the deserted city of Jinlin before, burying the detector underground is equivalent to sending a positioning signal to monsters within a certain range around it, which can easily attract wandering monsters because they will be attracted by these signals.
According to Lingling's request, everyone placed the element detector correctly in the designated location.
"Okay, let's move in this direction quickly, as some monsters have been attracted to us," Lingling said.
The instrument for detecting element concentrations operated very quickly and completed the measurement before the demon could get close.
The group would not have to engage in a fierce battle with hundreds of demons.
Xu Mu walked at the front of the team, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Did I miss something?"
He always felt that he seemed to have missed something. Was it so easy to find Little Yan Ji in the original novel?
"Look, there seems to be a flame burning ahead, and the fire is extremely fierce!" Zhang Xiaohou said anxiously, pointing forward.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the flame leaping like a giant dragon, illuminating the entire sky. Its scale was astonishing.
As time went by, the flames seemed to be given life and continued to spread. From the initial cluster of flames, they gradually evolved into an undulating, majestic mountain range of fire!
"The fire of heavenly calamity!"
Xu Mu's face changed drastically. At this moment he finally understood that he had actually forgotten about the fire of heavenly tribulation!
Faced with such a huge and terrifying flame, even a high-level wizard would find it difficult to hold on for long.
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
Xu Mu immediately activated the Winged Magic Tool, turned around, grabbed Lingling, and flew towards the Shawang River.
"run?!"
Zhang Xiaohou and the others looked suspicious, not understanding why they had to run away, until they realized that the raging fire was approaching at an alarming speed. Their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly turned around to follow Xu Mu.
Zhao Manyan directly activated his winged magic tool and flew away with his cousin, while Zhang Xiaohou continued to cast earth and wind magic.
Mo Fan was much more relaxed, and he and Xinxia leisurely fled on the back of the pale Swift Star Wolf.
The group rushed all the way until they reached the depths of the Sandy River, where they saw the fire disaster between the sky and the horizon slowly dissipate. The terrifying flames had undoubtedly covered the already scorching land, and the only thing that seemed to be unscathed was the Sandy River.
The hot air swept in from the front, making everyone feel hot and uncomfortable all over.
Although they had avoided the most violent and deadly flames, the remaining hot air was still unbearable.
“Damn it, what the hell is going on?” Zhao Manyan complained unhappily.
When they arrived at the northern corner of the Burning Plain, they were almost engulfed by the fire. After finally escaping to the Shawang River, they found that the river was in chaos, as if it was out of control.
"Should we go back or continue to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan? Make a decision quickly!" Zhang Xiaohou said anxiously.
"It's too late to go back now. We should hurry to Zhuoyuan as soon as possible..." Xinxia frowned and said to everyone.
After experiencing the baptism of the fire of heavenly calamity, the Shawang River seemed to have undergone a change, causing the already ferocious white sand demon soldiers to become even more violent and restless. Even the mental magic that Xinxia was good at seemed to be ineffective.
Everyone was originally discussing whether to retreat or continue looking for Princess Yan, but now the situation was urgent and they had to make a quick decision and rush back to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.
……
As soon as we arrived at the riverside, we saw a large pile of horrifying corpses. These corpses should be from the non-fire monsters in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.
The fire of heavenly calamity will angrily kill or drive away all those lives that are not of true flame bloodline. This method of dispersal is like a devastating range attack like a map cannon.
Faced with the fire of heavenly calamity, those non-fire-attributed creatures can only choose to flee from this dangerous place or disappear here forever.
The fire of natural disasters falls on the North Cape every few years. It is not only a devastating natural disaster, but also a deep purification and rebirth of this land.
After experiencing the baptism of fire, the northern corner of Zhuoyuan may give birth to more rare and powerful treasures.
"Wow, I didn't expect to find so many treasures just by walking around. This place is really a treasure trove!"
Zhang Xiaohou excitedly picked up a piece of fire spirit seed fragment exposed on the ground, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Although there is only one soul seed fragment, the market price of the soul seed fragment is between 30 and 80.
The spirit seed fragments here are of better quality, and it is completely feasible to sell them at a price of 50.
Lingling pointed to the ground and said, "Put the element detector here. There shouldn't be any demons here. We can detect it without worry, and the detection range will be wide."
The spirit seed fragments are just the appetizer. The northern corner of Zhuoyuan has just experienced a baptism of fire. Now the place is full of treasures. The elemental spirit seeds that were extremely rare in the outside world are now everywhere here.
The value of a single elemental spirit seed is as high as tens of millions, enough to exchange for dozens of spirit seed fragments.
And the most crucial thing is that now in this vast Chinese fire basin, only their team is walking alone. Doesn't this fertile land allow them to cultivate freely?
