In the evening, Ellie and her companions were also investigated by law enforcement officers. They left only after learning that they had completed the guild's mission and hadn't encountered any members of the Demon Mercenary Group.
After all, before they arrived, the guild headquarters had given them a notice to cooperate as much as possible, and law enforcement officers did not dare to easily resort to criminal punishment.
However, the guild branch still planned to gather a group of people to search for traces of those people in the dungeon. Dozens of people, and not a single word all day—it was truly bizarre.
In just one day, the main force of the Ghost Mercenary Group disappeared, their stronghold in the city was destroyed, and the incident caused a great uproar, yet the culprit was still nowhere to be found.
Although many women who had escaped were found, they did not know the specifics of the situation, even after the use of magical potions.
After settling the girls around him and reminding them to reveal their knightly identities when necessary to ensure everything went smoothly, Luo Fan secretly left.
A large crowd had already gathered in front of the underground volcano city. The guards only knew that those people had gone in, but hadn't come out yet. The fifth and sixth levels of the underground city were very large, and their small group was completely insufficient to handle the situation.
After sneaking inside, Luo Fan quickly arrived near the lava and tore open several water and ice scrolls. Instantly, a thick plume of water vapor surged out and sprayed towards the mountaintop.
When the temperature was just right and the lava began to turn black, Luo Fan tore off two more explosive scrolls, blasting a large opening, and rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm.
The opening wasn't large, about the size of a bucket, and it couldn't stop Luo Fan from entering at all. If it were a normal human, they probably wouldn't be able to squeeze in.
Near the underground city.
A large amount of water vapor gushed out, and the adventurers present saw thick smoke; they even heard explosions coming from the crater.
"Sir, will this volcano erupt?"
"I don't know, let's see!"
The impact of the large amount of water vapor also brought a lot of volcanic ash, which drifted everywhere. Large amounts of water vapor also spewed out near the cave entrance.
Seeing this, many adventurers began to flee. After all, their own lives were more important at this moment. The gatekeeper, struck by the scorching steam, suffered severe burns.
Only after they had retreated a considerable distance and watched the volcano gradually calm down did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Inside the secret realm, Luo Fan was also somewhat at a loss.
Without Xiaoxue's help, he wouldn't have been able to deal with the dense horde of fire beasts. He only escaped by hiding in the shadow of a rock.
This place is truly a paradise of fire. Fire-type magical artifacts are everywhere, along with pure fire spirit liquid, and even excess fire element seeps out through the entrance.
If fire rain were sent here, it would probably be roasted alive. These fire beasts seem to be extremely xenophobic and have an incredibly strong sense of territory.
Luo Fan concealed his presence; he had to get out before the lava surged in, or he would be trapped inside. Even with his incredible regenerative abilities, he couldn't afford to bathe in lava!
In this environment, these fire beasts are practically invincible, and their levels are all quite high, around level 60.
After quickly devising a strategy, the clone began to act, while simultaneously constructing spatial nodes in the shadows.
Within this not-so-large secret realm, Luo Fan darted around, attracting their attention, while secretly drinking a lot of fire spirit liquid and breaking a lot of fire spirit stones.
Finally, realizing that it was almost time, he reluctantly slipped out, which resulted in a large number of fire beasts chasing after him.
Having escaped back to the vicinity of the underground city entrance, Luo Fan's figure disappeared, and he left through the node.
Following him were hundreds of Fire Beasts that suddenly appeared, which directly triggered a riot in the underground city. Many Fire Beasts even ran out through the volcano.
"It's a Fire Beast rampage! Everyone run!"
Dozens of fire beasts sensed the adventurers and flew over, unleashing their magical power. They hadn't been this frenzied in the secret realm, consciously protecting their environment; now, their tempers had completely erupted.
Countless tongues of fire, like shooting stars, hurtled towards the fleeing crowd.
"Which bastard dared to provoke so many Fire Beasts? Does he have a death wish?!" Many people cursed as they ran.
"Should we go in to look for someone?"
"What the hell? I'm not doing this. Let whoever wants to go go! It's better to wait for these monsters to calm down and then harvest them for more money."
"Yes, if they hadn't come out by now, they must have all been burned to death!"
"That makes sense. Speaking of which, why haven't I seen so many Fire Beasts before!"
Soon, the buildings near the underground city were all damaged and turned into ruins. In the end, some people were still affected and burned to ashes! Fortunately, there was a pond nearby, and those who had escaped earlier jumped in, barely escaping with their lives.
Upon receiving the news, a large number of experts rushed to the capital.
However, at this moment, Luo Fan had already returned to the hotel. Looking at the girls who were meditating, he snuggled directly into Emil's arms.
Emil's reaction to Luo Fan's performance was quite calm; after all, it seemed like he wouldn't suffer any losses by following him.
The next morning, when they were preparing to set off, there were many more adventurers in the hot spring town. Many people were talking about the dungeon rampage, which had now been blocked by the guild.
So many Fire Beasts, they are excellent fire-type treasures in themselves, and the Fire Liquid obtained by killing them is effective for fire-type adventurers.
As soon as she stepped outside, she ran into Ryza, who had come to investigate. She had heard about the horrors of Ellie's conquest of the dungeon before, but she didn't expect it to actually happen.
"President Ryza, what brings you here?" Ellie asked curiously.
"There's been a bit of a problem in the dungeon. What are you guys planning to do?" Seeing that Ellie and her group were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief. This incident probably had nothing to do with her.
"President, the mission was completed yesterday, and we're ready to return to the capital!" Daisy interjected.
"Go back? You've already been to the dungeon?"
"Yes, everything went very smoothly. I was back yesterday at noon, and nothing happened," Ellie continued to explain.
"That's good. I'll get back to work now. We'll talk again when I get back to the capital." With that, she hurried away.
Ellie looked at Luo Fan in her arms without saying anything; he had indeed given her guidance earlier.
Luo Fan released his divine sense and even sent his clone to investigate the stronghold of the Evil Ghost Mercenary Group, and secretly killed a few of the escapees.
Along the way, there were many adventurers coming and going, including quite a few ice-type adventurers, and everyone was heading towards the volcano dungeon.
"Luo Fan, what exactly did you do last night?" Daisy asked secretly in the carriage.
"Nothing much, I just accidentally disturbed the Fire Beast's lair and almost didn't make it back." Pure elemental beings are too troublesome to kill, so they only benefited the adventurers who came later.
"So it really was you who did this!" Daisy had an "I knew it" look on her face, which made Luo Fan reach out his tentacles and pinch her little face hard, making her giggle non-stop.
He took out the Fire Elixir he had previously collected and gave most of it to Emil to manage. He also gave some Fire Spirit Elixir to Angela, and the little girl behind her excitedly hugged him and showered him with kisses.
"Luo Fan, you're so good to us!"
"Of course! You two are just so adorable. You need to make time to properly raise the little fire bears too!"
"Okay, I'll go to the nearby fire-attribute dungeon to train when I have time, and try not to fall behind!" Angela promised confidently.
These girls are all at the intermediate-level mage stage now, with only Emil being the highest at intermediate-level 6. With the help of the Fire Liquid, their leveling speed should be accelerated.
Luo Fan planned to use the extra fire-elemental materials when needed in the future, hoping to gain the favor of the two girls again.
