"What a fake demon!"

It is actually not difficult for experienced hunters like them to identify the existence of pseudo-terrors in the desert.

This kind of plant-type monster grows in the sand, so where they exist, the sand surface is much more solid than that of ordinary deserts.

This monster is also very effective in fixing sand, but unfortunately humans have not yet found a way to tame it.

When everyone felt that the sand under their feet was no longer soft, they immediately made a judgment and stopped immediately.

Without any orders, the two Wang Long brothers, who were detection mages, set off immediately. Both of them were in the wind and earth system, and they were secondary shadow practitioners. They were like butterflies flying through the sand. Whenever there was any movement under their feet, they would nimbly use magic to dodge.

But this is definitely not easy, the pseudo-terror demon is not a slow-reacting creature.

Once prey appears within its hunting range, the vine roots hidden under the sand will immediately burst out, forming a plant cage that covers the prey on the ground and drags it into the deep sand like an eagle catching a goose.

In some places, there is only one pseudo-demon, but in some places there may be seven, eight or even more than ten. The thick vines that suddenly emerge from the ground are like a forest.

Even though the Wang brothers are highly skilled in escaping skills, they are still surrounded by dangers. Even if they turn into shadows, they cannot escape. So they need Ace to cast magic in time to pick them up.

Fortunately, all the members of the Xuandu Hunter Group are elites among the mages, and under Wu Xuan's many years of leadership, they have also developed a cautious attitude.

They explored and walked all the way until the sun was at its highest point, and then they passed through the sand where the pseudo-terrible demon existed.

“Hu~~~~Ha~~~Hu~~!”

Heavy gasps came from the mouths of the Wang brothers. It was effortless for them to cast magic along the way, but dodging the unknown number of pseudo-monsters under their feet made them particularly nervous.

"Damn it, Captain, don't come to this evil place again in the future. It's simply fatal!"

"My brother is right. The performance we just showed is probably better than even the elite scouts among the military mages." Wang Long boasted.

"Haha, Lao Wang, you should go back and tell the girls about this awesomeness." Ace said with a smile.

"Old Ai is right. I will take you to find the best girl when we go back!" Team leader Wen Du patted his chest.

After passing the territory of the Pseudo-Demon, the rest of the journey was much smoother. They were all small demons, and with Ding Yumian, a master of the psychic system, everyone passed through smoothly.

There is nothing surprising about the flat desert after looking at it for a long time, until the sand field in front of you gradually becomes concave.

It was as if a large piece of the flat cake was suddenly dug out, and a cliff-like depression appeared in everyone's eyes.

The sinkhole was not steep, but the height difference between the two places was nearly a kilometer. Therefore, when they stood on the basin and looked down, the section connecting the two places appeared steep.

This is a basin. You can see that the sand in this area is gradually decreasing and is replaced by Gobi wasteland.

And above the Gobi Desert, the originally desolate ochre color gradually turns into reddish yellow at the end of the field of vision. As you move forward along the reddish yellow surface, the terrain suddenly rises!

And the color of the ground turned into pure red when he suddenly came on stage!

The vast red rock mass forms part of the basin, but it stretches all the way to the horizon, forming a mountain range.

The mountains are bare and there is nothing on them, but they are as red as blood. There is a light rising up, covering the sky with pink clouds, forming a fiery red world in a world of sand and soil.

The wind blew from the sky, bringing with it the smell of heat, dryness and a hint of sulfur.

"It's the Flaming Mountain!"

When Wu Xuan saw this red world, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Haha, we're finally here, let's go!"

Wen Du was also delighted and took the lead to walk towards the Flaming Mountain. The others also smiled and followed suit.

As they moved forward, Wu Xuan also told everyone the information he had purchased about the Fire Soul Seed.

"According to the military's intelligence, the soul seed is in the saddle between two peaks. There is a crack there, guarded by more than ten fire-winged snakes. As long as we find the fire-winged snakes, we can find the soul seed."

Hearing the name of the Fire Winged Snake, Lingling, who had been lacking interest, finally became interested.

"Fire-winged snakes, if I remember correctly, each of those things is at the commander level. Are you sure there are more than ten of them!?"

"The military's intelligence should be correct."

"That's quite strange. The growth of fire-winged snakes requires a very high temperature. The fire power absorbed by the growth of a pair of fire-winged snakes is enough to make a volcano that is about to erupt dormant for a hundred years."

Lingling looked at the Flame Mountain at the end of the sky, thinking, "A dozen Fire Winged Snakes can suck a volcano dry. Even if it is the soul seed flame, it should have been absorbed long ago."

"So, that's not soul fire?!"

Hearing Lingling's words, the eyes of all the hunters in the group, including Wen Du Wuxuan, widened, and the sound of swallowing saliva never stopped.

"Could it be the legendary heavenly seed? If so, I don't want it. I'll sell it and split it among my brothers. After we finish this job, we can retire right here."

Wen Du's eyes widened and he was the first to express his opinion.

The other hunters looked at each other, all of them were tempted. Although they had a good team spirit, they were out for the money.

If they can really make a living from this job, they won't be able to refuse.

"What kind of sweet dream are you having? Wake up. If there really is a Heaven Seed here, will the military sell the news to you?"

Lingling shook her head and immediately dispelled these people's wandering thoughts.

"What I mean is that this Flame Mountain is not simple. It can actually support more than a dozen Fire Winged Snakes. Those Fire Winged Snakes should be indirectly absorbing the energy of the Flame Mountain through that soul seed."

"So the military must be worried that these fire-winged snakes will be fed to a higher level by the Flame Mountain, so they sold the information."

Leng Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately had a guess.

There are definitely more powerful creatures than just the Fire Winged Snake in the huge Flame Mountain. The demons will also fight for territory with each other. If the Fire Winged Snake becomes stronger, other demons will be driven out of the Flame Mountain.

It’s unknown where these monsters will go, but there’s a high probability that they will visit human cities.

Therefore, it is necessary to nip the danger in the bud.

From another perspective, the situation of demons here may be something that the Northwest Military has managed to reconcile with great difficulty. If it is broken due to the growth of the Fire Winged Snake, then no one knows what will happen.

"Ah! That's what happened. I was so happy for nothing." Wen Du's bear eyes widened a little more, revealing a regretful expression.

“Not entirely. Since the Flame Mountain has such a powerful foundation, the soul seed must not be simple.” Shaking his head, Wu Xuan was quite happy.

He buried the demon detector again to gain a clear understanding of the situation in the entire basin. As he continued to move forward, he heard the Divine Dust Tiger suddenly roar.

“Ah!!”

Everyone paused and turned to look at Bai Mo and the others, or to be more precise, at the Shenchen Tiger under their mounts.

But a layer of bright yellow light was seen flowing on the body of the Shenchen Tiger, flowing out along its thick tiger paw pressed on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Wen Du asked in confusion when he saw this.

Contracted beasts are often more sensitive than mages, so no one thought that the Divine Dust Tiger had suddenly gone crazy.

"There's something wrong with this piece of ground."

Bai Mo raised his eyebrows and told Daju the answer he had received.

"Is it the Endless Gravity Corridor?"

Hearing this, Wu Xuan guessed that they had not encountered the gravity corridor since they came in.

When you walk into the gravity corridor, you won't feel the gravity at the beginning. It will only deepen slowly, like a frog in boiling water.

When you discover it, it's already too late to escape.

And when the bright yellow light from the Divine Dust Tiger infected the ground halo covering Wen Du and the others, a feeling of relief came from them, as if invisible shackles had been removed.

In just a moment, everyone reacted immediately, and cold sweat broke out on their backs like waterfalls.

"It really is the gravity corridor. We entered the gravity corridor without realizing it!"

"Fortunately, Brother Bai's Divine Dust Tiger discovered it early, otherwise it would be too late to cast earth magic to resist gravity by the time it really sensed it!"

Wu Xuan also took a deep breath, and immediately asked several high-level earth mages in the team to begin controlling the earth element and changing the gravity around everyone.

To pass through the endless gravity corridor, the most important thing is to detect it in advance and build an anti-gravity field in advance.

Otherwise, when trapped in the gravity field, the earth element will be completely absorbed by the gravity corridor, and even a super-class earth mage will find it difficult to seize control of the earth element from the gravity corridor by then, and thus use magic to resist gravity.

Other magical elements will be squeezed out by the heavy gravity corridor.

"Big Orange is still the best." Lingling touched the fur on Big Orange's back and said happily.

The other members of the hunter group were also praising him one after another. Shenchenhu raised his head slightly with a proud look on his face.

As they continue to move forward, they can see a yellow distorted halo gradually forming around the team, with strands of distorted power interweaving around them.

The entire gravity corridor can be said to be very long, extending all the way to the foot of the Flaming Mountain.

The entire basin can be said to be vast. They could see it clearly from above just now, but it took another dark night to actually reach the foot of the mountain.

The air was filled with a fiery scent, and in some places there was even magma oozing out, with flames popping up from time to time everywhere. The entire mountain range rose gently, but was more than a thousand meters high, and looked like the shape of a steamed bun.

"The Fire Wing Snake is in the middle of this mountain range, about 900 meters high, and the temperature up there is very high."

The Wang brothers who went out to explore came back, both wearing ice armor that they had prepared in advance. This is a kind of magic tool specially designed for special environments.

It has no defensive power by itself and can only be used once. Its main function is to cool down.

But at this moment, it was seen that the ice armor on the two men had melted long ago, leaving only a thin layer of ice debris clinging to their clothes.

"How's the traffic in the middle?"

"There aren't any powerful monsters, but there is a lava beach, which is not easy to pass."

Nodding, Wu Xuan said: "We all need to go up. More than ten fire-winged snakes are not so easy to deal with. As for the high-temperature ice armor, there are still a lot of them, which should be able to support a battle."

He did not say to use the magic barrier. The enemy is right in front of them and the battle is about to begin. It is not wise to use the magic barrier to resist the high temperature at this time.

"Let's go, then."

Bai Mo nodded. A dozen commanders? He was a little impatient.

As soon as he stepped onto the mountain, Bai Mo put away the Divine Dust Tiger. It was because the Divine Dust Tiger's domineering aura was too obvious and could easily attract demons.

They were just making their way in the desert, so if they were attacked, they would be attacked. At most they would have a fight, but that was not possible now.

The footsteps landed on the red mountain, and even through the thick soles of the boots, I could feel the scorching heat.

As we continued to go up, we could clearly feel the temperature rising sharply. At the beginning, it was still bearable thanks to the physique of a high-level mage, but later on, we had to put on ice armor to resist the high temperature.

"How about I call Senior Jiang Feng out. She should be able to cast a temperature-isolating barrier. This place is also suitable for her to practice."

Leng Qing couldn't help but say when he saw Lingling's uncomfortable expression.

"No, this mountain is not safe. Senior Jiang Feng, as the monarch, would attract attention if he showed up rashly. It would be better for him to show up when we are fighting the Fire Winged Snake."

Shaking his head, Bai Mo exhaled, and it felt like he was exhaling a ball of fire.

He looked down at Lingling. She was not a mage, and even though she was wearing several magical devices that could regulate her body temperature, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Her black hair was already wet with sweat.

He looked around and searched the team, but there was not a single decent ice mage.

Most of the destruction mages in the Xuandu Hunter Group are not of the ice type, because the group leader is a super-class fire type, and the ice type cannot cooperate with him.

Leng Qing and Ding Yumian, one has the Fire Monarch, and the other cultivates fire. They have a strong tolerance to high temperatures, but do not have the means to cool down.

After looking around, it seems that he is the only one who has some means of isolating himself from the temperature.

"I'll just open the barrier."

Bai Mo said as he directly carried Ling Ling on his back, dark golden light surging in his eyes, and a layer of magical energy barrier that could isolate high and low temperatures was immediately formed.

Suddenly, the original heat gradually returned.

"How are you, are you feeling better?"

"It's better now, but it's not good for you to be like this." Lingling lay on Bai Mo's back, her voice still a little muffled.

"Your magic power is only theoretically unlimited in most cases. Sometimes your magic power will be exhausted. If you do this frequently, you will develop a habit of not paying attention to saving magic power."

Calculating every bit of magic power is a skill that every hunter must practice. Bai Mo understood this in his heart, but he said jokingly:

"Why, Teacher Lingling wants to teach me now?"

"Hmph~"

With a light chuckle, Bai Mo didn't care seeing that the other person ignored him. He continued to move upwards. As the altitude increased, the temperature also increased.

Gradually, a hill appeared in front of everyone. It was a relatively flat place and there were not many monsters around.

Or maybe there is, but they can't see it.

Because this hilltop, which covers an area of ​​two or three kilometers, is entirely surrounded by rolling magma!

It can be seen that the magma is flowing out from the cracks on the ridge, gradually flooding the hillside, and then flowing down to lower places on both sides along the terrain.

There are only two places in the entire mountain plateau covered by magma where there are protruding rock land, which are relatively high places that have not been submerged.

It was the lava mudflats that the Wang brothers had mentioned before! The hotter breath was like a giant hammer hitting one's face, making one's eyebrows jump. (End of this chapter)
