Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 216 Elemental Ghost
At the border between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara, a man riding on the back of a winged beast glanced at the desert horizon that was getting closer and closer, his expression somewhat confused.

"Teacher Devin, didn't you hear what I said just now?" asked a female mage in her thirties next to the winged beast.

"Oh, what did you just say?" Daven came back to his senses.

"According to some information we have discovered, there has been an abnormal sandstorm near the edge of the Sahara recently. Some inspectors said that these sandstorms are not naturally formed." said the bespectacled female mage.

"These ambiguous messages are meaningless. The Sahara is an unusual place, and there is basically no reason to explore many of the reasons. Now we just need to go there and rescue the people." said another male wizard with a white cloth hat on his head.

"To be honest, if it weren't for Teacher Daven leading the team, we would never have been able to step into this desert maze. Teacher Daven is indeed someone who once walked out of the desert maze!"

The man called Devin stood there quietly, still not saying a word.

In fact, he really didn't want to come to this place, he really didn't want to!

……

"Look down, there seems to be someone." Someone in the team said this, and several people immediately looked down.

Sure enough, on the golden sand, they could see an unconscious person lying there, and judging from her figure, she should be a woman.

Devin said something to the winged beast he was riding, and the winged beast suddenly folded its huge fleshy wings and then slowly landed on the sand.

The female mage with glasses quickly walked to the unconscious person and helped him up. She carefully observed the person's breath.

"She's still alive. She... seems to be Asian. Could she be a member of the Chinese Nationalist team that the association sent earlier to look for clues?" Scarlett said.

Scarlett quickly fetched some water and fed it to the unconscious woman.

After drinking clean drinking water, Nanjue quickly woke up.

After Nan Yu woke up, her first reaction was to look around. When she found that she was not in the original place, her expression changed immediately.

It was obvious that Nan Jue was worried about Lin Ran and the others.

She should have sent a signal to Lin Ran outside the maze, but now she fainted here, which means they are completely lost in the desert.

“I have to get there quickly!” Nan Jue stood up quickly and ran hurriedly forward. However, her body was too weak and she began to stagger after only a few steps.

"Don't be anxious, tell us what happened and why you fainted here?" Scarlett asked.

“There’s a monster that’s lingering around the desert maze, and then it attacked me… Anyway, please take me there, my companions are still waiting inside.” Nanjue pleaded.

"Don't worry too much. Our teacher Devin is a super-class wizard who knows the desert maze better than anyone else. As long as he is here, your companions will be fine as long as they don't fall too deep." said the male wizard in the white turban.

The magician named Davin remained silent, but a gloomy look could be seen on his face. In fact, he was not such a gloomy person.

……

Lin Ran sat on the sand and looked up at the sky. The poisonous fire scorpion and the sand fox had been dealt with. Because of them, his immortal fire became a little stronger.

Suddenly they heard a sound, which was Nan Yu's signal.

“Oh my god!!! I’m going to cry!!!” Zhao Manyan was extremely excited, and so were the others.

Everyone moved forward following the sound.

Soon they saw golden sand.

This shows that they have walked out of this terrifying desert maze.

At this time, Lin Ran looked back and found that the sand fox and the poisonous fire scorpion had appeared again.

Continuing forward, they soon saw Nanjue. They also saw a few magicians beside Nanjue. They didn't expect that there were two large tribes following this group of young people. Their faces changed in an instant!
Nan Jue was also stunned. You guys just come out if you want to, but why did you bring such a large group of demons here? And they are all general-level creatures!
"What's going on? Didn't we say that these demons won't run outside their territory? Why are they still chasing us after we've already left the desert maze?"

"Run, run!"

Just as Lin Ran was about to turn around and take action, he found that Daven was preparing magic, so he did not take action.

Upon seeing this, the super-class wizard Davin quickly chanted a wind magic. In an instant, deep blue wind appeared around them, and then formed a wind boat that blessed all the personnel. In this wind boat, they could escape at an extremely fast speed even without using any magic.

Feng Zhou protected everyone and left quickly. Seeing that the group was running farther and farther away, the poisonous fire scorpions and sand foxes did not chase them anymore, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Ran left quietly, he wanted to deal with these monsters.

“What’s going on? Are you guys still restless in this maze? It’s fine if you mess with one tribe of demons, but you actually mess with two?” Nan Jue said angrily.

"Do you think we want to? In order to hold our position and not move, we have been holding on in the gap between the two major ethnic groups. If you hadn't given us the signal, we might have really died in there." Jiang Yu said with a look of grievance. Of course, this was impossible, after all, Lin Ran was there.

“You guys really never left?” Nan Jue asked in surprise.

"Yes, we didn't leave no matter the sandstorm or the terrifying clan war. Fortunately, you didn't keep us waiting in vain."

Daven listened to their conversation and remained silent until he spoke: "You made the right choice. If you are in the desert maze, then the only correct coordinates are the areas you haven't moved to. Otherwise, you will never be able to see the direction signal coming from outside the maze."

Several people couldn't help but look at Jiang Shaoxu. Fortunately, Jiang Shaoxu had been insisting. Now, after listening to this super-class mage, they couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that they were united, otherwise they would have no chance of survival. "Didn't you see anyone else in the desert?" asked the female mage, Sijia.

"I only saw the fragments of their tent, which was about five or six kilometers away from here. I didn't see anything else." Lin Ran rubbed his messy hair and said. After dealing with the monster, he came back quickly.

"Is that so? I think they should be nearby. We will take care of the next things. You can rest here for the time being. I hope you don't go too far away. Maybe we need some help from you." Scarlett said.

It's good to have clues. In this desert maze, if there are no clues at all, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is a waste of time for rescue.

"I hope they can hold on to a certain coordinate like you do." said the super-class wizard Davin.

"By the way, you just said that you also experienced a sandstorm?" Scarlett suddenly remembered something, then pushed her glasses and asked.

"Yes, a sandstorm suddenly blew up for no apparent reason..."

“If it’s a sandstorm, we don’t need to worry too much about it. After all, it’s just the weather, and the weather here is extremely bad. But what exactly is the monster that Nanjue mentioned before? Why did he say that a pair of pupils were seen in a sandstorm?” said the male mage with a white headscarf.

……

Lin Ran and his team had completed their mission. In order to avoid being disturbed by the sandstorm, they deliberately moved away from the maze area, set up a tent, rested there, and treated their wounds.

Then several people began to ask Nan Jue why she suddenly left her post. At this time, Nan Jue told them about the sudden attack on her.

"I saw a monster before. Its entire body was covered in floating sand. At first glance, it looked like a sand demon, but it spoke a language similar to that of humans. Its eyes were also similar to those of humans, except that they were full of resentment and malice. It felt like a vengeful ghost. Its movements and flights were accompanied by extremely strong sandstorms. It chased me for a long distance before, but the strange thing was that it didn't kill me. It just kept chasing me, and it chased me until I was exhausted." Nan Jue still felt a lingering fear when she recalled the previous situation.

The monster's aura was very strong. Nan Jue believed that if the monster wanted to kill her, it would only need to raise its hand to kill her. However, it did nothing and just drove her away with malicious resentment.

"Is there such a strange thing in this world?" Zhao Manyan said.

"Are you sure it speaks a language similar to humans?" Jiang Yu asked seriously.

“Well, I just don’t know what country’s language it is.” Nanjue answered.

"Could it be an elemental evil spirit?" Jiang Yu said.

"What are elemental evil spirits?"

"Do you remember the monk in Yanming Temple? He was the former vessel of Zhao Manyan's damn wooden fish?" Jiang Yu said.

"How can you not remember? It's a ghost with resentment!"

"Well, after the monk died, his soul took up residence in a powerful vessel, which turned him into a demon-like spirit. If a person dies and his soul takes up residence in a place filled with powerful elemental energy, then it is very likely that an elemental evil spirit will appear. I think what Nan Jue saw before was most likely an elemental evil spirit, probably a sandstorm evil spirit. This can also explain why we and the previous group of people encountered a sandstorm. It is obvious that this sandstorm evil spirit is active nearby!" Jiang Yu said in a clear and logical manner.

After encountering the vessel demon spirit in Yanming Temple in Japan, Jiang Yu specifically looked up some information about demon spirits and evil spirits.

After hearing what Jiang Yu said, Nan Jue couldn't help but glance at Mo Fan, and then whispered to Mo Fan: "Come to think of it, the mother of Little Yan Ji, the Flame Witch Jiang Feng, should also be considered a kind of elemental evil spirit, right?"

They exist in the bodies of demons and possess powerful magic, and they still retain some human behaviors. I guess, as Jiang Yu said, they are a group of elemental evil spirits. They were once a group of human mages, but after death, their souls found a new habitat during their wandering, and then they were reborn in another way in this special habitat!

……

Fortunately, this matter has been taken over by others, and they don't need to worry too much from now on. They think that with the super-class wizard who is familiar with the desert maze, they will not be completely defenseless even if they encounter the sandstorm evil spirit.

Lin Ran felt a strange breath just when he was about to take a rest. Then he walked out of the tent and found that in the direction near the desert maze, the sky and the earth were covered with yellow dust. The thick rolling sand was like a mudslide rolling into the sky.

"Damn, such a strong dust storm, it feels like it's coming towards us." Jiang Yu, who had just walked out of the tent, said in horror.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Realizing that this place might also be affected, everyone evacuated towards the Mediterranean without hesitation.

They galloped all the way, running at least twenty or thirty kilometers, and what made them extremely nervous was that the sky-high sandstorm seemed to be getting closer!

This sandstorm disaster seemed to be several times more violent than the previous ones, and it felt like it was going to completely engulf the world.

"Look!"

At this time, the sky towards the Mediterranean Sea was still blue, but the sky towards the Sahara Desert was completely covered with rolling yellow dust waves.

At the top of this huge wave of sand and dust that reaches the sky, they can see a proud and arrogant figure!

Just as Nanjue had described before, its entire body was surrounded by suspended sand, and its pupils were filled with strong resentment and anger. This rolling sandstorm was its masterpiece. This creature looked like a commander standing in the midst of a vast army of sandstorms. It could also be said that this sandstorm that spread across the sky and the earth was only a part of it! !
Nan Jue looked at the figure at the top of the dusty sky and was very surprised.

This seemed to be even more shocking than the last time she saw the Sandstorm Demon Spirit. This aura was clearly something that only a monarch-level creature could produce. Even an ordinary monarch could not engulf dozens of kilometers in an instant like this Sandstorm Demon Spirit! !
They actually kept running and soon reached a place where they could see the sea.

The dust did not stop, and even when it hit the ocean, it did not weaken at all. Soon the ocean was covered with sand!!

The long coastline was originally a beautiful sandy beach, but because of the dust storm, the entire coastline is now moving into the ocean. The Sahara Desert has also expanded its territory because of this sandstorm!
"What the hell, what kind of monster is this? It's too scary."

Lin Ran said, "You guys go first, I'll take care of it."

Lin Ran has been running for a long time and is now angry. Who really thinks he has no temper?
