Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 269 News about the Fire Vein

The next morning...

Fang Yu summoned the black wolf, patted its head. The black wolf had carried the two of them all the way to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, and had done a great service. He could only make up for it by returning.

With a light touch of her jade feet, the Flame Witch floated in mid-air, flames surging within her body, resembling an invincible fire queen. She transformed into a dazzling streak of fire, slicing through the sky and leaving a long trail of brilliance.

Fang Yu and Ding Yumin also rode on the back of the black wolf, heading north into the depths under the guidance of the Flame Witch.

……

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~"

A howling sound rose, and the wolf's body trembled violently as it charged forward...

Ding Yumin, sitting on the back of the black wolf, blushed. The bumpy journey inevitably caused their bodies to touch each other unintentionally.

After a while, when Ding Yumin felt Fang Yu's movements behind her, she was startled, and then a blush appeared on her pretty face. She asked shyly and angrily, "What are you doing?"

At this moment, Fang Yu, who had already pulled Ding Yumin into his arms, heard her question and said innocently, "This way it's more stable, since the journey has been too bumpy."

Ding Yumin's long eyelashes trembled violently. After a moment, she took a deep breath and could only nod helplessly. What else could she do about Fang Yu's shameless behavior?

Seeing her nod, Fang Yu's lips curled slightly, enjoying the softness in his arms. It's a pity it would have been better if it were face-to-face. It's just fortunate that Fang Yu and Ding Yumin haven't gone too far yet, otherwise the Black Wolf wouldn't have been able to withstand their antics.

……

The Flame Witch intimidated the enemy from the front, her monarch-level demonic aura spreading out, allowing the black wolves behind her to advance unimpeded.

The black wolf followed the Flame Witch, traversing the perilous terrain of the northern corner of the Scorching Plains at top speed, gradually approaching the fire vein region deep in the north...

Upon entering the fiery region, a gust of hot wind rushed towards them, making the two people on the black wolf's back feel intensely hot. Continuing forward, the heat intensified; every grain of sand was scalding hot, as if they were inside a steam oven.

"The temperature here is absolutely terrifying!"

Fang Yu waved his hand, releasing ice-type magic. Frosty white ice covered the two people and the beast, relieving the intense heat.

"Little Flame Princess, are you satisfied with this place?" Fang Yu asked the little Flame Princess on his shoulder.

"Ring ring." Little Flame Princess loved this place. She felt the strong power of fire surging in and made a cheerful sound.

The place that can reach such a high temperature must be a very rare and turbulent sacred land of fire elements. Such places are often natural factories for spirit seeds and soul seeds.

Seeing this, Fang Yu was delighted; it seemed he had come to the right place.

The blazing sun slanted downwards, slowly sinking below the horizon. After a long journey, night had quietly fallen...

Fang Yu gazed into the distance. All that lay ahead was darkness—a black ground, a black sky, and not a single star in sight.

As we continued forward, a somewhat murky cloud gradually appeared ahead. It looked like a giant mushroom blooming at the horizon, seemingly growing and climbing upwards little by little.

As Fang Yu approached, he looked closely and realized that what lay before him was a colossal mountain shrouded in clouds in the night sky. Volcanic ash, flame particles, and the aura of fire continuously spewed from the mountain, absorbed by the high-altitude cyclones and transforming into a vast and magnificent volcanic cloud, giving it a hazy and ethereal feel. The Flame Witch seemed to sense something, her gaze fixed on the fiery mountain, and said, "It's about to appear."

"What happened?" Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

As soon as the words were spoken, a cluster of brilliant blue flames, so dazzling that even stardust paled in comparison, ignited at the highest point of this fire vein...

The flames started burning extremely suddenly. Before Fang Yu could react, a vast sea of ​​fire filled his eyes, and even when he looked away, he was still burning painfully.

Previously, due to the darkness, the shape of the mountain peak still gave people a hazy feeling, but as the flames ignited and the firelight illuminated it, the entire fiery mountain peak was fully revealed. The overwhelming feeling, the sheer size, and the intense heat immediately left a huge shock in the hearts of Fang Yu and Ding Yumin...

The firelight illuminated the sky, but the sound of flapping wings could be heard. At the mountain peak, a pair of enormous blue wings were slowly unfolding, a sight to behold.

The azure flame bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, its azure flames rising ever higher. Its enormous body instantly blocked all view, and even Fang Yu and his companion, who were sitting on the dark-patterned wolf, felt a sense of suffocation.

Fang Yu followed the gaze and saw a bird-like demon engulfed in blue and red flames. The flames obscured its form, making it impossible for Fang Yu to discern its shape.

"I will stop it; you find a way in." After saying this to Fang Yu, the Flame Witch floated into the air and confronted the Azure Flame Bird.

"Mmm~~~~~~"

The Azure Flamebird detected the intruders, especially the Flame Witch high in the sky, a fire elemental that made it feel a strong threat.

Since arriving here, it has gained enough benefits, and as long as it continues to grow, it will be able to break through that damned barrier inside and absorb the purer flames within.

It wouldn't give up this place so easily. With a long, high-pitched cry, the blue flamebird launched the first attack.

The cry carried a destructive sonic wave, which struck the Flame Witch, but was blocked by the Flame Witch's spatial power.

When the aftershocks hit, Fang Yu and his companion immediately felt dizzy and their ears ring, as if their heads were about to explode. However, their mental strength was strong, and after a while, the sensation subsided considerably.

A streak of blue light ripped through the night sky, hurtling towards the Flame Witch at incredible speed.

Since the Flame Witch was there to help Little Flame Princess absorb the fire seed, she was even less likely to be polite to the Azure Flame Bird.

Suddenly, a huge fireball rose up beneath the Flame Witch's feet. She stood atop the fireball, her entire body engulfed in flames. The fireball beneath her feet made her figure appear even more proud and independent.

Flames erupted, one ring after another, the red fire rings spreading outwards in an arc, burning into a vast and shocking sea of ​​fire.

"Ring~~~~~~~~"

The Flame Witch drew a fiery cloud that completely enveloped the sky, unleashing a torrential downpour of countless fireballs...

However, the Flame Witch clearly also controlled powers other than fire. Her eyes shone with a dazzling light, and her will transformed into a powerful grasping ability, forcefully grabbing the Azure Flame Bird into her spatial palm...

Using spatial manipulation skills, a fireball fell from above and struck the azure flame bird's body, accompanied by a continuous booming sound...

The azure flame bird's body burned continuously with flames, bursting forth with azure light, breaking through the void of the spatial palm. At the same time, its body was covered with a golden protective shield, isolating it from the fireballs falling from above.
