Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 126 Fire Calamity
"Damn it! You guys just ran off without even telling us!!"

Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately summoned his demonic artifact, left a sentence, and then ran wildly towards Su Chi and the others without looking back.

"Old Zhao, I'm going first, you'd better catch up."

On the other side, Zhao Manyan, who had turned around, was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Everything was fine just now, how come in the blink of an eye there's only one person left standing here?!
"Mo Fan, you bastard, you think you can make me hold the line? You're dreaming!"

Zhao Manyan closed his eyes, and then golden light instantly shone around his body. Pieces of golden armor flew out from his spiritual world and quickly pieced together on his back to form a glittering golden wing.

This is a light-attribute winged magical artifact. To the naked eye, it looks as if it were cast in gold, exuding extravagance and nobility!
As the gleaming golden wings rapidly unfolded, Zhao Manyan's body began to take off, quickly overtaking Mo Fan who was running wildly on the ground, and rapidly approaching the main force.

"Holy crap!! Old Zhao, you rich bastard, you even have winged magical artifacts! Come back and take your buddies flying with you!!"

Mo Fan felt an unusually dazzling golden light pass over his head. When he turned around and didn't see Zhao Manyan, he guessed that it was Old Zhao who had just flown past. He immediately shouted loudly.

"You bastard, you actually abandoned me and ran away! You're no longer my good buddy!!"

Hearing Zhao Manyan leave without looking back, Mo Fan panicked and shouted, "Old Zhao, I was wrong! I was just joking!"

Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, Zhao Manyan couldn't help but smile. He then flapped his wings, turned around, and lifted Mo Fan up as well.

The two quickly caught up with the main group, but at this point, everyone had no time to say anything else. The mountain-like ball of heavenly tribulation fire was sweeping rapidly across from the horizon, and all the demons along the way who were unable to dodge in time were engulfed and devoured by the flames.

Fortunately, the fire calamity was still quite far from them. When the group arrived at the Sha Wang River again, their eyes turned to Su Chi once more.

Because this is no longer the Sand River region they came from, as soon as they set foot on the Sand River, those terrifying numbers of White Sand Giants and even Bone General Demons of the Warrior level will definitely appear and attack them again.

Previously, they had crossed the Sha Wang River safely by relying on Su Chi's relentless push. Now, they were still able to replicate that behavior.

However, the group's pace would definitely slow down. Moreover, although they hadn't encountered any commander-level demons before, there was no doubt that there were commander-level demons in the Shawang River, which spans dozens of kilometers. They were just lucky not to have encountered them before.

"I'll lead the way across the river."

With time running out and everyone wanting to make their own decisions, Su Chi only pondered for a moment before making his decision.

North of Dunhuang City.

A military region is stationed here.

At this moment, with the outbreak of the fire at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, an internal alarm was sounded within the military region.

Before long, in a long table conference room, all the senior executives of the Wei faction were sitting in their respective conference chairs. One of them, a dark-skinned man, was holding a piece of data that he had just obtained and was talking about something.

"According to the exploration report, a fire has just broken out at the northern corner of Zhuoyuan."

Upon hearing the words of this Military Intelligence Bureau officer, a noticeable look of joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.

They were all stationed in Dunhuang for a long time, so they were very familiar with the fire calamity in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. Although the timing of the fire calamity was irregular, every time it occurred, the Zhuoyuan land in the northern corner would turn into a treasure trove of 'gold'.

The fire calamity will not only make the natural treasures on the scorched plains more valuable, but will also give birth to countless new treasures.

However, the fire calamity is indeed a symbol of death, but it is more for the demons on the scorched plains and the creatures that unfortunately step into it, because the fire calamity does not affect the humans living in the Dunhuang base city.

"Great! Then let's not waste any more time. I'll take my men there right away!" An impatient military intelligence officer slammed his hand on the table and stood up, eager to head to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan immediately.

"What are you doing getting involved? Aren't we supposed to be defending the city?"

Another member of the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately stopped them, then changed the subject: "Let me lead the team there. After all, I often go out on missions and I know that area well."

Just as the two were arguing, the middle-aged man in the head seat spoke up: "Alright, stop arguing. I will decide who to send. I imagine the experienced hunter mages from the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance have already set off. However, we still need to discuss the matter of Sha Wanghe."

The military strength of the garrison in Dunhuang is somewhat different from that of other military regions. In fact, there are no Sky Eagle Mages here because the temperature is too high, and Sky Eagles cannot survive here.

The absence of Skyhawks means that there are no dedicated beast tamers in the military region, which in turn means that there are no mind-based mages in the military region.

What's strange about the Sand River is that the stronger the outsider who enters, the higher the chance of encountering an even stronger white sand monster.

Without a spiritual mage, crossing the Sha Wang River on foot would be extremely difficult.

the other side.

Su Chi and his group, who had fled deep into the Sha Wang River, finally stopped.

At this moment, the northern corner of Zhuoyuan was shrouded in flames, a vast, crimson, and scorching sea of ​​fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the flames of heavenly tribulation between the horizon and the sky began to show faint signs of subsiding.
"That scared me to death! This fire disaster is too terrifying. If we were in the central area of ​​the Scorching Plains, we would probably be reduced to ashes by now. Maybe we should go back." Zhao Manyan once again had second thoughts.

This fire really put Young Master Zhao to the brink; he was just a hair's breadth away from disaster!
If they had ventured any deeper into the Zhuoyuan Plains, they might not have had a chance to escape at all. Zhao Manyan still feels a bit scared when he thinks about it now.

"Fire calamity only occurs once every few years. We have now successfully avoided this fire calamity, and there will be no more fire calamity in the short term."

At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly spoke up and said, "Moreover, it will be safer for us to enter the Scorching Plains after the Fire Tribulation, because those non-fire creatures will be killed or driven out of the Scorching Plains by the Fire Tribulation. Moreover, the Scorching Plains after the Fire Tribulation is almost full of resources, and there may even be some rare and precious materials that were born because of the Fire Tribulation."

There was no other way; she came to Zhuoyuan with a purpose: to find the Fire Calamity Fruit to heal her 'mother'.

The reason I hesitated to go back at the Sand River was because I was killed by the Sand River in the first place, and I was also a little distrustful of whether the team could successfully pass through the Sand River.

After all, of the seven people in the team, apart from herself and her very familiar cousin, the rest of her teammates all seemed a bit unreliable.

A couple who look like they're on vacation, a girl who can't walk independently, a little girl who's underage, and finally, a leader who looks unreliable.

However, after witnessing Su Chi's extraordinary prowess and seeing the other members of the team demonstrate their individual skills, she changed her mind.
