Chapter 98 Fire Disaster!
"Go and bury them in the ground.
Lingling took out four cone-shaped instruments from her pocket and handed them to Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Chen Ying, and Zhang Xiaohou, giving them orders.
Zhang Xiaohou played with the instrument in his hand and recognized it.
"Isn't this an element detector?"
Zhang Xiaohou had dealt with these things a lot in the army.
"The conditions for the birth of Yan Ji require a place with a particularly rich fire element, usually relying on the land of spirit seeds. In other words, if we can find a fire spirit seed, Yan Ji will not be far away."
Lingling said lightly.
Although the fluctuations of the element detector will attract all the monsters around, it only takes a rough guess and it won't take long for them to collect the data and leave before the monsters arrive.
Ye Feiyang stood there and watched all this quietly.
After collecting the data, Chen Ying came back slowly with the element detector.
"Let's head in that direction."
Lingling glanced at the collected information, pointed in a direction, and spoke.
But before Lingling could finish her words, Ye Feiyang interrupted her.
"Let's all retreat back to the Shawang River now."
"Why?"
Lingling was puzzled.
Mo Fan and the others also looked at Ye Feiyang with puzzled expressions.
"The demons in the distance are rapidly approaching us. They exude a strong aura of madness mixed with a hint of fear, as if something terrifying is chasing them from behind. It's forcing them to run towards us. So, to avoid encountering those demons, it's best for us to retreat now."
Ye Feiyang began to explain.
"Well, wouldn't it be better if we could avoid those monsters and move forward?"
Chen Ying, who had been silent in the team, suddenly spoke up.
Mo Fan and the others all focused their attention on her. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Chen Ying's face instantly turned red. She fiddled with the hem of her clothes, feeling somewhat bewildered.
"You seem really reluctant for us to leave."
Mo Fan looked at Chen Ying scrutinizingly and said calmly.
"I'm not."
Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Although Chen Ying denied it, the hesitation in her answer and the awkwardness and panic on her face clearly made her statement unconvincing.
Even Zhao Manyan, who was closest to her, looked at her with a hint of suspicion and dissatisfaction.
No matter what, it was Zhao Manyan who brought this person in. If Chen Ying really had other intentions and ulterior motives, he would be to blame.
"Everyone, please go back the way you came. This time it was my mistake."
Zhao Manyan said in a serious tone with a sullen face.
"Chen Ying, why don't you tell me the real purpose of your trip? Perhaps our goals don't conflict."
Ye Feiyang spoke up to help Chen Ying out of the predicament.
He still wanted to use Chen Ying and the people behind her to achieve his own goals, so how could he really let her leave so easily? It was just that Chen Ying suddenly jumped out just now, which surprised him a little.
"I did come here this time with my own purpose. My mother came to the North Point of the Burning Plain many years ago. Due to bad luck, she happened to catch the outbreak of the Heavenly Tribulation Flame. In the end, large areas of her body were burned and she was wrapped in bandages. In order to treat my mother, I need the Heavenly Tribulation Fruit.
[]
This kind of Heavenly Tribulation Fruit only matures during a fire disaster, and after a few days it withers. The fire disaster has been happening in the last few days, which is why I followed you to the northern corner of the Burning Plain. I wanted to see if I could find the Fire Tribulation Fruit and return to save my mother.
After hearing Ye Feiyang's words and looking at Zhao Manyan's solemn face, Chen Ying realized that if she didn't say anything, her trip would end here. She sighed and slowly explained the purpose of her trip.
"The fire catastrophe will erupt in the next few days, so the fear Feiyang felt from the demon just now, could it be that it came from the flames of this heavenly catastrophe!"
Mo Fan pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Fuck, this can't be such a coincidence."
Upon hearing Mo Fan's analysis, Zhao Manyan's expression changed immediately, and he cursed subconsciously.
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
"Let's retreat to the Sandy River and see what happens. If it's really a fire disaster, we'll turn back. If not, we'll make a new plan and explore the northern corner of the Burning Plain."
Ye Feiyang said in a deep voice.
Now, Chen Ying stopped talking. Everyone had the same goal of returning along the same route, and their speed when returning was much faster than when they went forward.
After they returned to the Shawang River, some time passed.
"Boom boom boom!!!!!"
There were bursts of muffled sounds coming from the earth, and the fine white sand was shaken up.
"A large group of demons are rushing towards us!"
Zhang Xiaohou saw from afar a thick cloud of dust rising in the sky, becoming increasingly clear. His face paled as he exclaimed in shock.
As a scout, he knew best what this meant. There were demons rushing towards them, and judging by the dust and fog that almost covered half the sky, there were a lot of them, and it was estimated that there were at least several hundred of them.
Hearing Zhang Xiaohou's shout, Mo Fan and his companions slid down the sandbank. Walking along the Sand River again, they were not as scared as before.
As the smoke and dust gradually approached, everyone could clearly see the outline of the demon rushing towards them. Seeing this, they quickened their pace and ran towards the depths of the Shawang River.
They were all sturdy and covered in hard armor. Due to the environment they lived in, their armor was reddish-brown. These weren't the main issues. What really frightened Mo Fan and his companions was the aura emanating from these demons. Each one of them was a general-level warrior!
"It's a Killer Armored Beast. The Warlord class is known for its defense. Their armor is suitable for crafting armor magic tools. However, since they like to live in groups, often if you want to kill a Killer Armored Beast, you have to face the iron hooves of a group of Killer Armored Beasts trampling on you."
"Shawang River is the territory of the White Sand Demon Soldiers. They probably wouldn't dare to enter."
Zhao Manyan murmured, with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The armored beasts did not disappoint Zhao Manyan. The beasts, which were originally full of vigor and vitality, began to hesitate and stop when they reached the bank of the Sandy River. It was obvious that fear did not cloud their minds and make them lose their rationality. Perhaps the fear brought to them by the Sandy River was no less than the things that came after them.
Just when Zhao Manyan and the others thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, a bright, dazzling red light shone on their faces.
"This is a fire disaster! The fire disaster is coming this way."
The flames undulated like mountains, magnificent and huge, dyeing the sky red, no, it could be said that they swallowed up the entire sky!!!
The most important thing is that the flames are pouring towards this side like an overwhelming force.
At this moment, in Ye Feiyang's eyes, there were no clouds or blue sky, only the red of fire!!!
