Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 182 Strange Bird (Tomorrow)
Jiang Shaoxu leaned against the rock wall beside Lin Ran. Her eyes fell on the area where the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon was. Lu Yilin was probably smashed into a meat pie. No one knew what he was thinking. He actually plotted against Mofan and took action. How stupid.

She glanced at Mu Tingying. She found this woman more and more annoying. Lu Yilin would plot against Mo Fan like this, and it was probably because of Mu Tingying that she fanned the flames. This woman was just jealous of Mu Ningxue and opposed her everywhere, but Mu Ningxue didn't want to pay attention to her at all. She looked down on her at all. What a pitiful, hateful and annoying woman.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to move forward.

As the team walked further and further, the terrain gradually became flatter. At this time, Mo Fan also found that the reaction of the Condensed Evil Pearl became stronger and stronger, which meant that he was closer to that energy!

“Four kilometers ahead, we should be able to see the ruins of the ancient city. The elemental reactions here are getting stronger and stronger, especially the wind and lightning elements…” Nan Jue said to everyone, holding two instruments in her hands.

Lin Ran was thinking about something as he walked.

"Look ahead!" Zhao Manyan suddenly said, pointing forward.

A few people looked over, and then they saw a startling black and gray hurricane that rose from the ground and went straight through the clouds, like a black dragon rising up. The visual impact of the hurricane standing between heaven and earth made everyone gasp.

The body of the hurricane is like that of a dragon. Even from a distance, one can see it clearly. The thick and powerful waist of the hurricane, and the mouth of the hurricane that suddenly opened up after touching the sky, make people feel short of breath just by looking at it...

What is even more shocking is that this black wind is accompanied by purple-gold lightning. The purple-gold electric chain is as thick as a python, flashing at a very high frequency.

Such a horrifying scene appeared in the wilderness of western Peru. If you didn't cross the Gobi Valley, you would not discover such a wonder here.

“Oh my god…is this a bit too exaggerated? I feel like a big boss will pop out at any moment.” Zhao Manyan shouted.

“The lightning storm seems to be located in the Ruins City.” Nanjue estimated the location.

"Oh my goodness, this place must be an ominous place. I'm a little scared now." Jiang Yu said.

“Now that we’re here, how can we not go? If there really is a good treasure, then we’ll take off!” Mo Fan said excitedly.

Lin Ran also nodded and said, "Let's go."

……

The lightning storm ahead was still very terrifying, but it was already very late, so everyone set up tents in an open area and waited until dawn tomorrow to move forward.

midnight.

Lin Ran was woken up.

"It's your turn to keep watch." Zhao Manyan pushed Lin Ran and said.

"Oh, I see." Lin Ran stood up and walked out of the tent. The campfire was not far in front of him. He walked over and sat next to the campfire. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Shaoxu rubbed his eyes and walked to his side wearing a coat.

He raised his eyes slightly and saw a pair of long legs.

"I'm so sleepy, how about you keep watch?" Jiang Shaoxu sat next to Lin Ran and tightened his coat. The night was unexpectedly cold. The bonfire only made the front feel warm, but the back felt cold. This feeling was not good.

"I remember that Nan Yu and I were on night watch together... why are you here?" Lin Ran said.

"I switched with Nan Yu. Hiss, it's so cold." Jiang Shaoxu moved closer to Lin Ran. She felt that Lin Ran was warmer than the campfire. He was indeed a fire mage.

The coldness quickly dissipated Jiang Shaoxu's sleepiness. She didn't hear Lin Ran's answer, so she looked over and found that this guy was actually meditating. Couldn't he respect his responsibility to keep watch?
Jiang Shaoxu began to harass Lin Ran. She deliberately said some suggestive words in Lin Ran's ear and even made some strange noises from time to time.

After a while, Lin Ran opened his eyes, and Jiang Shaoxu's pretty and charming face was in front of him.

She said cheerfully, "Isn't it exciting?"

"......" Lin Ran pushed Jiang Shaoxu's face away, and said with a look of disgust: "Your face is full of powder."

He shook his hand.

Jiang Shaoxu was unhappy. Her skin was already very good and she didn't need to put on powder at all. Why was this guy talking nonsense?
The two of them quarreled while waiting for dawn.

……

The black storm was so huge that it felt like it was right in front of us.

The crowd passed through a pile of ruins, and then found that there seemed to be nothing in this ruined city except a pile of ancient-looking stones. The only amazing thing was the lightning and black storm.

Yellow dust was flying everywhere in the air, mixed with some extremely dry grass clippings and stones. They could feel the suction force of this strong airflow, pulling the grass clippings and sand towards the storm.

However, this force is probably only equivalent to a wind force of level 7 or 8, and their bodies can still withstand it.

At this time, Mo Fan took out the Condensed Evil Pearl and found that the light was guiding him towards the center of the lightning storm.

"Do you want me to die?" Mo Fan couldn't help but curse.

The destructive power of these lightning storms is probably not weaker than that of a super-class magic. If most people try to break into a lightning storm, it will be no different from suicide.

"It feels like there is nothing here, why don't we leave first." Zu Jiming's cowardly voice came out again.

"I don't know what the use of all this fat on your body is!" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Lin Ran yawned. Jiang Shaoxu was too noisy last night. In the end, he was left alone to keep watch while she curled up and slept.

The crowd did not get too close to the lightning storm as it was too dangerous. It seemed that there was nothing worth exploring in this entire ruins city except for this spectacular black lightning storm. They did not see any ancient treasures, nor did they find any elemental anomalies. They did not even see any demons guarding here.

Monsters are also very real, and it would be a bit disappointing if there was nothing worth exploring in this area.

After searching for about half a day, they found that the ruins were just a pile of broken stones. However, Nanjue found some words that interested her on some broken stone pillars, while others found nothing.

……

“Damn it! We’ve put in so much effort but we don’t even have a single valuable magic stone. Who said this is still an uncultivated virgin land?” Zhao Manyan couldn’t help but curse.

Lin Ran felt that this shouldn’t be the case. There should be treasures here, but they may not have been discovered yet.

"It's just a waste of time. I told you not to come here!" Zu Jiming said.

"Everyone, sit down and take a rest. We'll check again tomorrow. If we still don't find anything, we'll probably have to go back home." Nan Jue said. Mo Fan was fine, because he found something in the Forbidden Moon Stone Devil's Canyon and got a piece of Yuanjing. As for the fact that the Condensed Evil Pearl guided him to the lightning storm, he pretended not to see it. After all, the strong storm and terrible lightning were like the claws of the devil, and they could tear him into pieces as soon as they got close.

Mo Fan didn't want to waste time so he started practicing.

Lin Ran leaned against the old wall and looked at the black storm.

Mu Ningxue walked to Lin Ran and said, "Pay attention to your surroundings. I'm practicing."

"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded. He now needed rare treasures to break through. If he just practiced honestly, he didn't know how long it would take before he could break through.

Mu Ningxue sat cross-legged beside Lin Ran and began to meditate.

"Haha, you look so serious. Maybe you're just pretending." Mu Tingying couldn't help but say.

Everyone knew Mu Tingying's personality, so no one bothered to respond.

Seeing no one responded, she sneered.

……

"Pyrimid!!!!!!"

"Pyrimid!!!!!!"

"Pim py py py py!!!!!!"

Suddenly, sharp and piercing sounds pierced the sky from afar. At first there were only a few, but soon they turned into a group of noises, making it impossible for the people who were meditating to practice normally.

Mu Ningxue also opened her eyes and looked up at the sky!
Now is the time when the sun is about to set. The orange sunset light dyes the clouds red, turning the western sky orange-red, which looks very layered.

The surface and high ground were originally orange in color, so now they complement the sunset sky. However, in this vast orange and red painting, some uninvited guests appeared. They have emerald green bodies, as beautiful and smooth as jade, but their wings are completely blue, and both the hard feathers and the fluff look particularly neat.

When they fly here in groups, it looks like emerald silk clouds and blue cloth, quickly covering the sunset sky.

"Fuck, it's them again, but there are more of them this time!" Jiang Yu suddenly shouted.

“Are you kidding me? We’ve come so far, and they’re just letting these big demons fly through our airspace at will?!” Zhao Manyan also screamed.

"It's over, it's over. This time we are in such an open area without even any cover. How are we supposed to fight them?" Li Kaifeng said in panic.

Lin Ran looked at the few people. It seemed that they had encountered these monsters before.

"Oh my god, there is one in this direction."

"There are some here too. Oops, we seem to be surrounded by them."

Looking around, they found strange birds with emerald bodies and blue wings everywhere. If they were just migrating together, they would just be regarded as a painting of the sky. However, judging from the way they gathered and surrounded them, it was obvious that they were coming for them! !

"Didn't anyone tell me what happened to you before?" Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

The number of these strange birds is astonishingly large, at least about 8,000 if not 10,000, it is completely a mighty army of demons.

"It was about a month ago. We had just arrived in Peru and accidentally walked into a place that the locals said was a restricted area. After that, we were chased by these strange birds. At first, there were only dozens of them, and we killed them easily, but later, there were hundreds of them, and we could handle them. Later, we came to the city, and we didn’t expect these strange birds to chase us. However, they were eliminated by the Peruvian city’s defenses, and even caused an orange alert... Later, oh, later is now!" Zhao Manyan explained to Lin Ran.

“This thing really holds a grudge.” Lin Ran couldn’t help but say, feeling the same as Mo Fan.

Lin Ran thought about it for a while and felt that this was probably part of the plot. As long as he followed them, he should be able to find the treasure or some cheat that the author had prepared for Mo Fan.

"Lin Ran, you can solve it, right?" Jiang Shaoxu said.

Lin Ran spread his hands and said, "Let's run away."

Everyone: "..."

The strange bird is getting closer and closer, covering it like a cloud.

Now, even Ai Jiangtu's face looked grim, because with his strength alone, it was impossible for him to survive the attack of this group of strange birds.

In fact, let alone nearly ten thousand strange birds, they might not be able to deal with even the more than one thousand strange birds last time. Before, they relied entirely on the defense capabilities of the Peruvian cities.

“What should we do?” Nan Jue had run out of ideas. She said to Ai Jiangtu with a grim expression.

"If you were given a choice, would you rather fight these strange bird armies or go into the lightning storm?" Ai Jiangtu asked seriously.

"Captain, you are not crazy, are you? The destructive power of that lightning storm is terrifying. We will basically die if we go in!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted.

"Then let's not go that deep. To put it bluntly, we are entering a range that we can withstand but these strange birds cannot... This is the only solution I can think of now. If you don't want to be eaten by these strange birds behind you, then hurry up and follow me. We are heading to the lightning storm zone." Ai Jiangtu said.

Others had no choice at all. Just as Ai Jiangtu said, there were still many unknown possibilities in the lightning storm zone, but fighting with an army of nearly ten thousand strange birds in such an open area would mean certain death. Even Lin Ran suggested escaping.

Everyone rushed towards the lightning storm area. Seeing Mo Fan's bitter face, Jiang Yu said with a cold smile: "Do you think it's better to stay in the Gobi Valley?"

“Fuck you, let’s go now.” Mo Fan cursed.

"Why don't you wait here, Lin Ran? After all, these strange birds have never seen you before." Mo Fan turned around and looked at Lin Ran and said.

"Get lost." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

"By the way, Mo Fan, did the bead remind you to go towards the storm?" Lin Ran ran to Mo Fan and said. If the Condensed Evil Pearl reminded Mo Fan to go towards the storm, then it is very likely that the plug-in arranged by the author for Mo Fan is in the storm. Who knows if there is anything that can help him break through.

“Yeah.” Mo Fan nodded, and then said: “It has been telling me to go towards the storm. There may be something it needs in there.”

After getting Mo Fan's answer, he was sure that the good stuff was in the storm.
