Versatile Mage: I became the Great Mofan

Chapter 276. The Evolving Swarm

"What are these things for? Are they flying up there to die?" Zhang Xiaohou asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"This seems to be a ritual of theirs. For some reason, those dust storm grasshoppers are always called here to perform a fire rebirth ceremony." Lin Feili said.

Several people present were slightly puzzled when they heard this.

While they were still puzzled, they saw all the Dust Storm Grasshoppers flying into the Flame Mountains. Soon, some of the Dust Storm Momons that could not withstand the test of fire began to burn their bodies and wings.

As they went deeper, more dust storm grasshoppers were engulfed by the flames, burning the air into a mass.

The flames continued to spread among the densely flying dust storm grasshoppers. Those grasshoppers whose wings were burned directly turned into drops of flaming feathers and fell into the mountains.

Before long, the entire Fire Demon Mountain began to rain down fireworks, lighting up the entire desert night sky, as bright as a dream night.

However, these fireworks were all painted with the lives of newly born hoppers, piled up by hundreds and thousands of deaths, and looked particularly weird.

Looking at this scene, Mo Fan was very moved.

To be honest, the flames here are not that powerful, but you have to know that the flames here have an explosive effect.

Little Princess Yan absorbed the flames here, which would undoubtedly bring her greater help.

"Is this their ritual, jumping into the fire pit one by one?" Jiang Shaoxu said somewhat unnaturally.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a ceremony!

On the contrary, it looks more like everyone is jumping into a fire pit!
Ashes were floating in the sky, and before I knew it, the night had deepened, and the magic fire in the entire Flame Demon Mountain began to go out.
"I don't know when it started, but these grasshoppers commit mass suicide here every midnight. They are determined and fearless. They even enjoy rushing into the flames. I have never seen any grasshopper run away out of fear." Lin Feili said.

"You mean, they commit suicide here every night, burning so many grasshoppers to death every day, so shouldn't the dust storm grasshoppers have all died long ago?" Jiang Shaoxu said.

"The Flame Mountain Range does not burn all the time, and I don't know what rules it is based on, but as long as it burns, the Dust Storm Grasshopper will definitely come." Lin Feili said again.

"They are not holding any ceremony, nor are they seeking death. I think they are undergoing a transformation!"

When Mo Fan spoke, everyone looked over.

Even the little Lingling on his shoulder felt curious?

Mo Fan did not hide it and explained: "I can feel that the flames here are very special. Compared with ordinary flames, they are many times stronger. Since these Dust Grasshoppers come here every time to die, they must be evolving in this suicidal way. They die here and reproduce here in order to resist ordinary flames."

After all, the Dust Grasshopper has always been afraid of fire.

And if they are tempered by stronger flames, they can reproduce.

There may not be any changes in one or two years, but ten or a hundred years!!

They are always able to successfully breed Dust Grasshoppers that are not afraid of ordinary flames.

Although this evolution is slow, they are at least on the evolutionary path!

After listening to what Mo Fan said, everyone was stunned and felt a little scared at the same time!
What if these dust grasshoppers evolve successfully?

What a terrible catastrophe will come to the West!!!

"We need to tell the Western Guards about the Dust Grasshoppers so they can prepare their defenses in advance," Zhang Xiaohou said immediately.

After all, he is now a commander-level figure in the Wei side.

Naturally, I am also aware of some developments in the West.

If this was a sudden attack by the Dust Grasshopper, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“There haven’t been any fire-resistant Dust Grasshoppers in the West yet, right?” Mo Fan asked.

"Yes, I have never heard of anything that can resist fire." Tong Li said affirmatively.

After thinking for a while, he added: "Also, I haven't heard about the invasion of the Dust Grasshoppers for a long time." "All the arrangements in the west are in vain after all." Mo Fan said in a deep voice.

It’s not like the Dust Grasshoppers don’t have ideas about the human world.

They are just transforming!

Waiting to give humans a surprise!!

"Brother Fan."

Mo Fan shook his head and told Zhang Xiaohou directly: "There's nothing I can do."

He can protect the safety of a city, but not forever.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be feeling a little heavy. Even Lin Feili felt the same way.

He had been here for so many years, but he had never thought that they were changing.
Although he felt heavy-hearted, Mo Fan still had to move forward.

He hasn't done anything yet after all.

Only without the flames did they dare to continue approaching the mountain. Lin Feili walked in front, leading everyone along a winding mountain path towards the top of the mountain.

As we stepped into the mountains, the residual heat from the flames was still there, and the burning sensation underfoot made everyone feel like they were walking on a hot pot. Soon, some of us could not hold on any longer.

The higher you go up the mountain, the higher the temperature becomes, and gradually only those who practice fire can continue to move forward.

"Brother Fan, we may not be able to go any further. The temperature is too high." Zhang Xiaohou said, sweating profusely.

Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, Lingling, Lin Feili, and Tong Li were also like this. Some of them could not bear this kind of temperature. If they climbed any higher, they would sooner or later become dehydrated and pass out.

“Then you guys should go back to the post station and rest. I can go up by myself.” Mo Fan said.

Lin Feili told Mo Fan that if they continued along this mountain path, they would be able to reach the top of the Flame Demon Mountain, where they might be able to see the Holy Land of Fire that was setting the entire mountain on fire.

After understanding the situation, Mo Fan thought about heading up the mountain.

As for them, they returned to the post station.

Tongli seemed to still be concerned about her sister's affairs, and still couldn't help asking: "Fili, my sister said in her last letter to me that she and her patrol team discovered some kind of mineral vein, and she will always be stationed there. , do you know that mineral vein, I want to go there and have a look, maybe I will find some traces of her."

Lin Feili seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to mention the word "mineral vein", and his face showed a bit of vigilance and hostility.

"I have been unable to feel at ease these years. I just want a result. Fei Li, if you know the whereabouts of my sister, please tell me. Even if it is just a pile of bones, I want to take her back to our hometown." Tong Li said immediately.

He looked very sad, as if he really came here just for his sister's bones.

"Lin Feili, do you really not remember his sister?" Jiang Shaoxu asked softly.

Lin Feili was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will take you there, but I will only take you alone."

"Okay!" A hint of joy flashed in Tong Li's eyes.

"You...you, come with me."

But soon, his joy disappeared.

Because Lin Feili also called Zhang Xiaohou.

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

"I only believe in you"
