Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 184 Prohibition (5k)

"If you hadn't taken us running around, we wouldn't have been chased around by these strange birds!" Zu Jiming pointed at Jiang Yu and cursed.

"Jiang Yu, you are fully responsible for this matter." Li Kaifeng and Mu Tingying also complained.

Jiang Yu kept quiet.

Lin Ran sat on the ground and watched everything happening in front of him. He didn't expect that these people would actually blame each other. This is the most taboo thing now.

Mo Fan, who was beside Lin Ran, also noticed that the team began to blame each other. He couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he simply got up and walked around.

"You'd better not wander around and cause us trouble!" Zu Jiming said very irritably.

"I feel sick just hearing your voice. Can you please shut your fucking mouth? Also, my legs are on my body and it's none of your business where I go?" Mo Fan started to speak, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood.

Zu Jiming now recalled Lu Yilin who was killed by Mo Fan, so he was angry but did not dare to have any more radical conflict with Mo Fan.

Seeing that he was obedient, Mo Fan walked in the direction where the Condensed Evil Pearl was shining. But after walking for a while, he turned around, walked up to Lin Ran and said, "Let's go shopping together."

It feels safer to take Lin Ran with me.

Now that he's here, he should bring something back, right?

Lin Ran nodded.

Afterwards, Zhao Manyan and Jiang Shaoxu saw Lin Ran and Mo Fan leaving the team, so they followed them. It was safer to stay close to Lin Ran in this lightning storm. Jiang Yu himself didn't want to see the ugly faces of Zu Jiming and others, so after hesitating for a while, he followed Lin Ran and his group who were wandering around.

Ai Jiangtu knew that the group was in a bad mood and was now trapped in this place, so they could leave the team if they wanted to. He didn't care. He asked the more reliable Nan Jue to follow Lin Ran and the others, and said, "We will wait for you here. Make sure to keep the communicator working smoothly."

……

The few of them followed Mo Fan inexplicably as they walked deeper into the lightning storm. The wind was now strong enough to shake general-level creatures.

The frequency of lightning was getting higher and higher, and some electric arcs fell in front of several people from time to time, making them feel creepy.

"I say, are we still going forward?" Jiang Yu suddenly asked weakly.

"Let's go. This is better than cursing at each other." Jiang Shaoxu said. Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao started practicing as soon as they stopped, so they would not be scolded. However, those who had no intention of practicing might curse each other because of a single word.

Although this national government team is a whole, they are not united at all. If it weren't for the bad-mouthed Lin Ran and Mo Fan being strong enough, and if Ai Jiangtu hadn't been maintaining the relationship, they would have probably fought long ago.

"The lightning ahead is too dense." Jiang Yu said.

The further you go in, the more lightning there is. A deep yellow flash of lightning suddenly lights up in front of you, and then tears through the chaos of the wind. The electric grid formed by this lightning looks very terrifying.

“Nanjue, do you find that this yellow lightning seems familiar?” Mo Fan turned around and looked at Nanjue.

Nan Jue was reminded by Mo Fan and suddenly realized something.

“This is a restriction!” Nan Jue exclaimed.

The forbidden thunder is basically yellow in color, and everyone has actually seen such dense thunder and lightning before, that is, in the East Guard Pavilion of the Shuangshou Pavilion in the island country.

"These lightnings...are not natural lightnings, but man-made restrictions?" Jiang Shaoxu said in surprise.

“Aren’t you curious about what’s inside this restriction?” Mo Fan suddenly turned around and looked at them with a smile.

"What do you think?" Jiang Shaoxu's eyes fell on Lin Ran.

The others also looked at Lin Ran, as if letting Lin Ran make the decision.

"There are strange birds outside and we can't get out, so we might as well explore here. Maybe we can get some good things." Lin Ran said.

There was a man-made forbidden barrier in this storm, which meant that someone wanted to block the secret at the center of the storm. But how important a secret must be to be hidden in such a terrifying hurricane.

Lin Ran’s words aroused everyone’s curiosity!

Moreover, the Ninghua Evil Pearl had clearly told Mo Fan that there were treasures here, so Mo Fan naturally had to continue walking.

“These are very ancient lightning restrictions. Let’s go, let’s keep moving forward!” Nan Jue was now even more enthusiastic than Mo Fan, and she actually took the lead and walked in front.

“If you want to leave, then follow me and Lin Ran closely. Otherwise, if you are blown away by the wind, no one can save your lives!” Zhao Manyan said.

In the team, only Zhao Manyan and Lin Ran, who has a light-type magician, are defensive mages.

“Don’t step out of our defense range. The wind strength right now is almost as strong as mid-level magic!” Zhao Manyan reminded everyone.

“It’s just mid-level magic…” Mo Fan said with pride and disdain.

"You can go out and try the feeling of being attacked every second," Zhao Manyan said.

Mo Fan thought about it for a moment, and then he shut up.

The current wind force is equivalent to mid-level magic, but this does not mean that the degree of these wind strikes is a mid-level magic. That would be equivalent to an entire mid-level magician group bombarding them all the time. The destructive power is quite terrifying!

“Can we still move forward?” Nan Jue asked seriously at this time.

"Sure, Lin Ran's light defense is very strong." Zhao Manyan nodded. Lin Ran's light defense alone was even stronger than his three-strength defense. However, it would be easier for the two of them to work together to release defensive magic.

"You seem to have become much stronger." Mo Fan said.

“Hehe!” Zhao Manyan seemed to have been waiting for Mo Fan to say this for a long time, so he immediately smiled. On the surface, everyone was shameless, but it was very refreshing to be praised by a close friend.

Under the escort of Zhao Manyan and Lin Ran, everyone successfully arrived at the restricted area covered with yellow lightning.

When viewed from the outside before, the storm looked black, and the color of the lightning was also covered up, giving people a sense of destruction. When everyone arrived inside, they found that these crazy and dense lightning were actually the yellow restrictions in front of them.

"Can you solve it?" Mo Fan asked seriously.

The restriction is actually a wall composed of offensive magic power. It requires a force several times stronger than the power itself to destroy it. However, it also has a door and a key. As long as the door and the key are found, the restriction will not be so scary.

“Okay. The remains of the ruins gave me some clues. I need some time now,” Nanjue replied.

“Then take your time. It seems like Lin Ran can still hold on.” Mo Fan said.

Jiang Yu and his companions also showed some excitement and joy at this time. Look, the treasure of this ancient city is right here.

"Can I take a break?" Zhao Manyan asked, his magic power was a little slow.

"Well, go ahead." Lin Ran said.

Several people were watching from the side, but they didn't dare to speak to disturb Nan Yu. Now they could only wait quietly for Nan Yu to remove the restriction of the yellow lightning.

Nan Yu was a professional who broke the ban, so it was impossible for her to tinker with the barbed wire like a thief. She slowly hovered her hand in front of these violent lightning of the ban. She used her heart to feel and listen to the rhythm of the ban, how they worked, where their energy came from, how they circulated...

"Oh my god, Lin Ran, do you still have any light magic power?" Zhao Manyan said. His magic power has been restored, but Lin Ran still has a calm expression. Doesn't this guy have too much magic power?
Moreover, just a light of blessing was extremely solid. These winds could not tear apart Lin Ran's defense at all. This guy seldom used defensive magic, which caused him to forget that Lin Ran was in the light system of Mingzhu like him.

"Well, and if you haven't recovered yet, just continue to rest." Lin Ran said.

"How about we play cards?" Mo Fan took out the cards.

No one refused.

A few minutes later, Nan Yu looked back at the people who were making loud noises and said angrily, "Oh my god, I'm breaking the ban, but you are playing cards? Can you respect me?" After yelling for a few words, Nan Yu organized his thoughts and continued to break the ban.

Mo Fan and the others looked at each other, then lowered their voices and continued playing.

A few minutes later, Nan Yu wiped the sweat off his face and said, "OK, let's go."

She was very satisfied. What she liked most was breaking the ban.

Everyone followed Nan Jue, and then they found that the forbidden lightning was getting less and less. Suddenly, everyone vaguely felt that they had passed through a waterfall curtain. After encountering some resistance, the front suddenly opened up...

A green land and a sea of ​​flowers, a fairyland-like scene suddenly appeared in front of everyone, leaving everyone stunned.

"Look, there is a city here!" Zhao Manyan said, pointing ahead.

At the end of the sea of ​​flowers and green land, there is a small town. The colors look very bright and there is no sense of antiquity. Is this a fantasy wonderland?

"How come there are these things? We should have entered the eye of the storm, how come such a large space suddenly appeared? It looks like a paradise on earth?" Jiang Shaoxu said in disbelief.

"This is a special independent space. We...we should have found the real ruins of the ancient city!"

Several people walked into this secluded town. It was hard to believe that it had been sealed for such a long time. The special fragrance of flowers and plants was still floating in the town, and there was no sense of decay at all. The huge black storm was like a wall of time, stopping this independent space in the eye of the storm in the original era.

"This should be the earliest city in South America. Look at the ancient flower emblem at the door!" At this time, the careful Jiang Shaoxu pointed at the sign in front of the door.

"You also know something about the history of South America?" Mo Fan was a little surprised at Jiang Shaoxu's erudition.

"No, but this flower has a history. It is called Lifan, and it is a very rare species. However, it disappeared from the South American continent more than 30 years ago. When they still existed, these flowers could be used to make wine. My grandfather collected a bottle of this Lifan flower wine. He said that when I find my ideal husband, he will open it and drink it. Also, this Lifan flower is very special. In the early days, there were not many mental mages. It can soothe and calm the mind, and Lifan has no side effects. It is said that the origin of mental magic is more or less related to this flower." Jiang Shaoxu said a lot in one breath.

Others had heard of flowers and plants that could be used in place of mental magic for the first time and found it very fresh.

“Then can you speculate the age of this city?” Nanjue couldn’t help but ask.

"It's impossible. This flower is rare and precious, so I don't know when it was first used. But I think the cities and families that use it as their floral emblem will definitely be recorded in Peruvian history books. We will know everything when we go out and check. Also, I have no interest in history at all. I am very curious now whether there are still these Lifan species that have become extinct in the outside world here..." Jiang Shaoxu said.

It was obvious that Jiang Shaoxu cared a lot about these Li Fanhuas. After that, she began to search for them in this ancient city. This city was not very big, but was quiet and peaceful, so there probably wasn't any danger.

Everyone started to disperse. Mo Fan took Lin Ran and followed the guidance of the Condensed Evil Pearl to find the source of energy that he needed most.

This small town is very well preserved. It feels like it is stuck in a certain time and space. Time has stopped passing, the streets are spotlessly clean, and the houses have not been damaged by the years. It is like stepping into a beautiful and elegant foreign town. Everything looks very peaceful except that there is no one here.

After crossing the wide street, Lin Ran discovered a very beautiful fountain at the intersection ahead.

It is beautiful because there is a beautiful and graceful sculpture of a woman on the fountain. Her slender waist and delicate and smooth belly are particularly eye-catching.

In terms of body proportions, she is somewhat different from Asians. She has a slender upper body and a proud bust.

At this time, the light of the Condensed Evil Pearl had reached an extremely strong level, and even Lin Ran could detect the light of the Condensed Evil Pearl.

“Could it be that this water is similar to the water from the Holy Earth Spring?” Mo Fan couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Ran said, "How about you drink some?"

Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran, then placed the Condensed Evil Pearl into the water of the spring pool. The water was a little cold, but there was nothing special about it, and the Condensed Evil Pearl did not seem to be replenishing energy at all.

"This water... is just ordinary water!" Mo Fan scooped it up and took a sip. It had no taste at all.

At this time, Lin Ran stepped into the spring and flicked the statue with his fingers.

"Crack!" The statue shattered quickly, and then a crystal cup appeared with some liquid in it.

Mo Fan walked up and said, "This should be it."

"Do you know what this is?"

"Well... Lingling seemed to have mentioned that it was called Liquid of Time. I forgot its specific function, but it should be a good thing. So let's each take half." Lin Ran said.

Lin Ran took away half of it, and then Mo Fan used his Condensed Evil Pearl and the little loach to take away some. It was not because he didn't want to take all of it, but because there was no room left.

Lin Ran was about to take the rest away, but he sensed a strange breath and gaze, and he became alert in an instant.

But when he put down the last bit of Time Liquid, the breath disappeared!
“What’s wrong?” Mo Fan’s body tensed up. Lin Ran’s face suddenly became serious. He had this expression before when he faced the Mountain Corpse. So there must be something here that made Lin Ran feel dangerous.

Lin Ran said, "The last of the Time Liquid cannot be taken away."

Mo Fan was a smart man. He nodded and said, "Just leave some of it. We've already made some money."

"Come on, let's go find flowers." Jiang Shaoxu ran over and grabbed Lin Ran and ran.

After a while, the two of them ran to a flower field.

"This is for you." Jiang Shaoxu placed a wreath of flowers on Lin Ran's head, then lifted Lin Ran's chin with his fingers and said, "If you put on girls' clothes, your face would be a disaster for the country and the people."

"A cute muscular girl?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Hahaha, so disgusting. Help me pick the flowers. I want the beautiful ones." Jiang Shaoxu said.

Afterwards, Lin Ran went looking for flowers with Jiang Shaoxu, and soon they found enough words.

Jiang Shaoxu suddenly started dancing in the flower field.

At this time, Zhao Manyan came over and said, "There is a reason why Lu Yilin is pursuing her so madly."

"Yes, she is like a little goblin. She wants to tease everyone she sees, but she only teases them for a while. Once she gets serious, she will turn around and leave immediately." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

"Okay, boys, should we leave now?" Nan Yu walked over and said.

The moment the few people stepped out of the restricted area of ​​the small town, a pair of yellow eyes suddenly appeared in the eye of the hurricane above the town.

The eyes just stared at them, watching them leave. When they completely walked out of the yellow lightning restriction, they slowly closed again.

Lin Ran turned around and saw the eyes, but did not say anything. Mo Fan's little Yan Ji also chirped and said that she saw it too, but Mo Fan and the others seemed unable to see it.

……

“How’s it going? Are the strange birds still outside?” Nanyu asked Ai Jiangtu, who had been standing still.

"They seem to have left now." Ai Jiangtu replied.

"If you don't come out, I'll think you were all torn to pieces by the storm. Really, why did you waste so much of our time?" Zu Jiming said.

"Now that we're all here, let's go back to the city. It's not safe in the wild. Also, why is Lin Ran wearing a wreath? Are you a sissy?" Mu Tingying couldn't help but say after looking at the beautiful wreath on Lin Ran's head.

"Shut up, you idiot." Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at Mu Tingying and took off the wreath on Lin Ran's head. Although it looked very beautiful, she didn't want anyone to think that Lin Ran was a sissy.

Zhao Manyan smiled and said, "Wow, someone said this because he has nothing to talk about with Lin Ran? Tell me the truth, Mu Tingying, do you like Lin Ran? Otherwise, why do you always try to strike up a conversation with Lin Ran?"

"Huh? Who would like this bastard?" Mu Tingying said gritting her teeth.
