Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Lin Ran and his group left the team, and the others had no choice but to go back. Lin Feili followed Lin Ran and his group for a while, but he couldn't stand the heat of the fire and chose to go back. However, before leaving, he showed Lin Ran and his group the way.

Tong Li was still concerned about her sister. Seeing Lin Feili catching up with them, she couldn't help but ask, "Feili, my sister said in the last letter she gave me that she and her patrol team seemed to have discovered a mineral vein. She will be stationed at this mineral vein. Do you know this mineral vein? I hope to go there and take a look. Maybe I can find some traces of her."

Lin Feili looked a little hesitant, but he didn't seem to want anyone to mention the word "mineral vein", so his face showed a bit of vigilance and hostility.

"I have been unable to rest in peace for so many years. I only ask for one result. Fei Li, if you know the whereabouts of my sister, please tell me. Even if it is just a pile of bones, I hope to bring her back to our hometown." Tong Li said with some sadness.

"Lin Feili, have you completely forgotten his sister?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

Lin Feili was silent for a long time before he finally said, "I can take you there, but I can only take you alone."

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. As long as I find my little sister's bones, I can explain to my parents!" Tong Li said excitedly.

"You...you, come with me too." Lin Feili suddenly pointed at Zhang Xiaohou and said.

"Me? You guys are going to look for bones, why do you drag me along with you..." Zhang Xiaohou was puzzled.

"I only trust you." Lin Feili said.

"...Tong Li will not harm you." Zhang Xiaohou said helplessly.

"Zhang Xiaohou, just go with them. Lin Feili has lived here alone with the monsters for too long. He is very sensitive and hostile to everyone." said one person.

"OK then."

……

The others gradually returned to the post station. They were preparing to plan their next route, while Zhang Xiaohou, Lin Feili and Tong Li walked towards the black sandy mountain. It was where Zhang Xiaohou found Lin Feili.

The three of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the cave where Lin Feili had lived before.

"Why are we here?" Zhang Xiaohou looked puzzled.

At this time, Lin Feili quickly walked to the end of the cave, and then violently pushed away a large rock that was blocking there.

The rock was pushed away, and Zhang Xiaohou discovered that there was another world inside, so deep that no one knew where it led to.

The three of them entered the pitch-black cave. Lin Feili was obviously very familiar with the inside. It was pitch black, and his eyes were shining.

They walked for about half an hour, and the road gradually began to go up. After the three of them came out of the cave, they arrived at a basin-shaped valley surrounded by black rocks on all sides.

Black rocks surround it and basically no sand can be blown into it, so this black rock basin is like a secluded place isolated from the desert.

"She is buried here..." At this time Lin Feili pointed to some raised piles of rubble next to him and then spoke.

Tong Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became red. After so many years, although he was very sad, he could finally feel at ease at this moment.

"Can I take her away?" Tong Li asked.

"Ah."

Tong Li quickly dug up the stone. After searching for a while, he found that there was only a pile of tiny bones left inside. He then carefully collected each small piece of bone and wrapped them in a cloth bag. He looked very cherished and it made people feel very sorry for them.

"Tong Li, where are you from? I didn't expect there is such a custom that one must return to the dust of one's hometown. For such a custom, you ran with us to such a dangerous place. You can be considered a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty." Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, people in my hometown believe this. They think it's hard for the soul to rest in peace after a person dies outside. Zhang Juntong, it's only a few days before we worship our ancestors. So this time I came here actually hoping to find my little sister before the worship, so that she won't become a wandering ghost. I may not be able to accompany you here any longer." Tong Li said.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Xiaohou was stunned.

"Well, we only worship our ancestors once every four years. People in other places must return on that day, otherwise they have to wait another four years. I don't know if I can make it back in time, but I can't just leave my sister's bones in a place like this." Tong Li said.

"But everyone has no plans to return yet."

"Everyone has marked the way back along the way, so I just need to return along the way. The only slightly troublesome thing is the Shaqu River, but fortunately I am practicing the wind system this time, so as long as I am careful not to get stuck, I can return safely. In fact, I didn't have much hope when I came here with everyone this time, but I didn't expect to meet Lin Feili. Brother Lin Feili, thank you so much!" Tong Li said.

"I have been talking to her all these years. It would be good if you could take her away. I think she would want to go back more." Lin Feili said.

Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he soon understood.

Lin Feili probably often talks to himself in front of this grave. However, Zhang Xiaohou doesn't quite understand why Lin Feili doesn't just go back to the city. Why does he have to live here alone? Is it possible that he has some attachment to this place that is hard to let go?
……

Tong Li left by himself. Zhang Xiaohou silently watched his back, feeling deeply moved. It was truly commendable that he took such a risk to come to this dangerous desert just to let his deceased sister return to the dust of her hometown.

"Where is Zhang Juntong from?" Lin Feili's language was now very fluent, so he asked.

"A person from Bo City in the south." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Then why did you come to the West?" Lin Feili asked.

"Come here to broaden your horizons. But why do you stay here all the time?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

"Because someone asked me to stay here." Lin Feili said.

"Is it a military order?" Zhang Xiaohou was stunned.

Lin Feili nodded immediately.

"You've almost forgotten who you are. Why are you still following this military order? I guess the person who gave you the order may not be alive now." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"He died before. In fact, I should have died here, but..." Lin Feili stopped talking here, and his eyes swept across the extremely empty rock basin.

"Is there something hidden here? I always feel like you care about it very much." Zhang Xiaohou asked casually.

Well, I am still alive now because I don’t want some things to be completely covered up…”

"Cover up what?" Zhang Xiaohou asked puzzledly. "Do you really think this oasis station was swallowed by the dust?" Lin Feili said.

"Is not it?"

Lin Feili smiled, then his face was full of bitterness, but for some reason, his eyes were gradually filled with hatred.

"Did something happen here?" Zhang Xiaohou sensed something and asked seriously.

……

Mo Fan felt a slight heat, which indicated that the temperature on this mountain was really ridiculously high.

At this time, Lingling had completely turned into Lin Ran's pendant, and Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu also leaned closely against Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's mouth corners slightly raised, feeling very comfortable.

The few of them followed the rugged road to the top of the mountain. Although they had not yet climbed to the highest peak, they were still at the top of the mountain.

There was no sand or gravel to be seen at this height, as the wind could hardly blow the sand so high. The top of the mountain had been made of very solid flint baked by the flames, and some spirit seed fragments could be seen everywhere. Naturally, Lin Ran and the others collected them without hesitation.

The quality of the spirit seed fragments here is very high, and is very advanced.

"Are we just going to wait here for the next fire?" Mo Fan couldn't help but sit on the rock and said to Lin Ran and the others.

This time, the flame transformation not only tempered Little Flame Lady, but Mo Fan himself would probably have to stay here as well. He was not sure whether his demonic physique could allow him to withstand the high temperature burning of the Flame Demon Mountain.

"You need to let Little Princess Yan complete her transformation, and I also need to let my flame complete an evolution, so let's wait a moment." Lin Ran said.

“Then let’s wait. After all, it’s not easy for us to come up here once. Nothing should happen to them at the post station.” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan closed his eyes and began to meditate. This high temperature zone was home to a huge amount of fire elements, which were naturally formed and many times better compressed than the Three-Step Pagoda. He also took this opportunity to consolidate his fire cultivation.

While Mo Fan was practicing, Lin Ran was searching for spirit seeds with Lingling and the others.

Because it was difficult to find them by hanging on his body, he divided the flames into three balls and gave them to them. As long as the flames were around them, they would continuously absorb heat and they would not feel the heat.

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lin Ran and said, "Why didn't you give it to us right from the start? Do you really like having things stick to you?"

Lin Ran waved his hand and said, "I'm going to look for the spirit seeds."

Mo Fan was very serious and knew that there would be no danger as long as Lin Ran was there. Gradually, he forgot about time and also forgot that he was sweating profusely.

Mo Fan opened his eyes once, when the sun was high in the sky. When he opened his eyes again, the sun was about to set and the temperature on the mountain rose suddenly, which seemed to go against the law of the scorching sun.

Time passed quickly, and soon another midnight arrived. Lin Feili told them that the fire would appear again at this time. At the same time, Mo Fan also saw some dust storm grasshoppers coming here as usual, and then burning themselves to ashes!

The fire was raging, and the entire mountaintop was a sea of ​​fire. Mo Fan was in the flames. The temperature of the fire was beyond Mo Fan's imagination, and his demonic physique was also burned to pieces!

“No way, it’s so powerful!” Mo Fan grimaced as he was burned. He felt like a Monkey King thrown into the Bagua furnace.

Now there was fire everywhere, and he felt that he could hardly open his eyes. How could he find the source of the fire? ?
Mo Fan moved with great difficulty, using all his senses. Suddenly, he felt a little cooler.

A ball of fire appeared on Mo Fan's shoulder, and Mo Fan asked, "Where did you go?"

"Take a look around." Lin Ran walked over and said.

"Well, it should be here..., it's all fire!" Several people were walking in the flames.

High up, the dust storm grasshoppers who were suffering from collective depression were still watching madly, not knowing that they did not have Lin Ran’s fire, so they were soon burned to death and turned into black ashes.

Lin Ran said, "Let's follow these demons."

"Well, it seems that these dust storm grasshoppers are all flying towards the Holy Land of Fire."

All living things are profit-seeking. Although I don't know why the dust storm grasshoppers are so crazy, I can be sure that there is something there that makes them rush in regardless of everything.

With the help of the Duststorm Demon Grasshopper, Lin Ran and his companions arrived at a mountaintop surrounded by more than a dozen large rocks. The flames here were... so pure and fierce that Lingling felt like she might be burned to ashes at any time! !
Lin Ran ejected a ball of flame, and then the flame began to absorb power in preparation for completing the evolution.

"Oh my goodness, this is it!!" Mo Fan was also a little ecstatic. He also let Little Yan Ji in. Little Yan Ji obviously liked this place very much.

“Little Yan Ji, just complete your transformation here.” Mo Fan looked at Little Yan Ji and smiled.

Little Yan Ji really liked this place. Mo Fan himself didn’t dare to get close to the Holy Land of Fire, so he just watched Little Yan Ji having fun from the side.

Little Princess Yan is indeed the darling of fire. She is suspended in the center of the fiercest fire. She does not suffer any burns despite the burning of the flames. Instead, one can see that the energy of fire is gathering towards Little Princess Yan madly!
Lin Ran and his companions did not stay here for too long, as they still had to continue searching for spirit seeds.

“Just enjoy the hot spring here. I’ll go get you some snacks. When you’re better, I’ll come pick you up.” Mo Fan said to Little Yan Ji.

Xiao Yanji nodded.

Jiang Shaoxu said, "It's not a loss to pick up so many spiritual seeds this time."

Mu Nujiao also nodded and said, "There are an insane amount of spiritual species here."

Lingling was not very interested in spirit seeds. She was very interested in the fact that these demons were dying one after another. So she began to study these demons, hoping to get some answers. Of course, she still remembered what Lin Ran had said before. Maybe these demons were just as Lin Ran said, and were helping the flames here to complete their transformation, just like Lin Ran's flame and little Yan Ji.

"What's wrong? Is there anything that interests you?" Lin Ran looked at Lingling and said.

Lingling nodded and said, "These demons that come one after another are quite interesting. I want to study them. You stay by my side and protect me."

Lin Ran nodded and said, "That's fine."
