Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 225 Obtaining the Soul Seed
"When do we set off?" Lin Ran asked.

"We'll set off when you transfer the money," Asharuya said.

……

Mount Tyrant is located in Italy. It is probably a mountain range named after a king in ancient Roman times. It is some distance away from Venice.

The members of the National Team will stay in Venice for a long time, and then wait for the World Academy Competition to officially begin. Most of them will concentrate on training in Venice. Venice has some of the largest auctions in the world, and now the forces behind most of the students have begun to spend money like crazy.

Lin Ran was going to leave for a while. He originally wanted to talk to Mu Ningxue about it, but Mu Ningxue went into seclusion for cultivation, and so did Mu Nujiao.

They all needed to show themselves. Lin Ran met a very unexpected person, that was Mu Tingying. Logically, this woman should be in seclusion, so why was she still wandering around?

Mu Tingying didn't leave immediately. She looked at Lin Ran for a while before saying, "Are you okay?"

Mu Tingying's tone was very normal at this time, which surprised Lin Ran. He thought this woman would confront him.

"Okay, bye." Lin Ran waved and left.

……

After leaving Venice, they headed straight for the Tyrant Mountains.

Before coming here, Lin Ran asked Lingling to help him check something, which was considered doing some homework. After checking, Lingling said that an old hunter on Tyrant Mountain had indeed confirmed that the lightning seemed unusual, and there were many rewards for finding the lightning spirit seeds and lightning soul seeds on Tyrant Mountain. However, so far no one has found any trace of lightning soul seeds in this long and winding mountain range.

From this point of view, Asharuya was probably not lying. After all, many old hunters believed that there were very powerful soul species in the Tyrant Mountains!
Lin Ran initially thought that Asharuya would bring some people with her, but he didn't expect that it would be just Asharuya and him.

This surprised Lin Ran a little. This guy actually went on an adventure with him alone. This was like traveling alone with an online friend whom he had only met twice. Did he look very harmless? Wasn't Asharuya, such a beautiful woman, afraid that he would rape her in the wilderness? To be honest, she exuded a sinful aura.

"You really trust me." Lin Ran sighed.

"You want to do something bad to me?" Asharuya said.

"Beautiful women always arouse people's imagination." Lin Ran said.

"It's okay. If you want, I can take it off myself. After all, I can't resist, right?" Asharuya said seriously.

"I wouldn't do that." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

"Oh." Asharuya also nodded.

"How sad." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

Asharuya looked at Lin Ran and then said, "Who told you to always look at me with lustful eyes?"

Lin Ran: “…”

Suddenly he didn't want to talk anymore.

……

Astraea is a very versatile woman. This time when she came to Tyrant Mountain, she wore very close-fitting and easy-to-move-in clothes, mainly black and brown, and her hair was tied up.

Lin Ran still remembers that when he was in Xizhao Valley of Dongting Lake, he felt a little excited about camouflage uniforms and women's travel clothes. It was because of the poisoned female military commander. Those were really exciting days.

Now that Asharuya was wearing this suit, her temperament was completely different from the Western European elegance and fashion that she had seen in the exhibition hall before. Now the hunter's sophistication was revealed in her cautious and calm demeanor...

Lin Ran was naturally an old hunter, so he understood what it meant to be pampered and what it meant to be experienced. The two of them walked in the Tyrant Mountain where demons were rampant. The details that Asharuya paid attention to showed that she was also someone who often walked among demons.

"Asharuya can play a saint, a wealthy woman, and a hunter, so if she cosplays as a policewoman, a nurse, a teacher, a wife, etc., she must be very exciting." Lin Ran murmured to himself.

……

There are many species of demons living in the Tyrant Mountains and the density is high, so this mountain range is actually not very popular among veteran hunters.

There are many types of monsters, which means there are all kinds of dangers, such as nests, poisonous fogs, traps, mazes, territories, elemental poles... This tests the hunters' ability to deal with and respond in dangerous environments. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more different dangers coexist, which is quite a headache.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to walk safely in such a harsh place, let alone find soul seeds.

Lin Ran was right behind Asharuya. In this ever-changing environment of Tyrant Mountain, what made him happier was Asharuya's charming figure, her long legs, her incredibly elastic buttocks, and her slender waist, which were truly a feast for the eyes.

"We'll reach the main peak of the Tyrant Mountains in a little while. Some big guys live here." Asharuya turned around and said to Lin Ran.

"Well, I'll pay attention." Lin Ran quickly moved his eyes away from Asharuya's small waist.

Although he was looking at the beauty, he still noticed some strange footprints.

Asharuya also discovered that the small pond was indeed a footprint. She then slightly bent her index finger and placed it on the edge of her moist and plump lower lip, pretending to think hard. After a few seconds, she muttered to herself: "So the vibration just now was not thunder?"

“BOOM!!!!!”

As soon as Asharuya finished speaking, a huge steel foot suddenly stepped down from mid-air and pressed towards Asharuya without deviation.

Just as Lin Ran was about to take action, Asharuya appeared in front of him and pulled Lin Ran into the shadows. She lowered her voice and said, "We are not here to fight, and if you fight it, it will attract the attention of other big guys."

"Oh oh oh." Lin Ran nodded.

"It's really dangerous. This Tyrant Titan is really elusive. Fortunately, you reminded me that there were its footprints here, so I was prepared." Asharuya said.

Lin Ran raised his head and looked towards the distant mountains. At this time, the giant had disappeared at some point.

This made Lin Ran a little confused and puzzled. Logically speaking, such a huge creature should be easy to see, but how could it disappear into the mountains in just a short while?

"It's quite dangerous here." Lin Ran said.

"So, don't always keep your eyes on me." Asharuya smiled gently. "You are my only guiding light now."

"Hehehe."

"Just keep going ahead..."

"it is good."

"The big guy just now was really big." Lin Ran asked.

"Well, it's the Tyrant Titan, a giant creature from ancient times. It's rumored that the giants were gods in European human history. But later, with the rise of Greek mythology, these ancient gods gradually turned into terrible demons and man-eating monsters. However, these ancient Titans originally fed on humans, but they were too powerful. People at that time believed that they regularly ate a certain number of humans as a protection for the human race..." said Asharuya.

"So this tyrant actually refers to these mountain titans?" Lin Ran said.

"Yes, the Parthenon has such an unparalleled status now because they defeated these false gods and established humanity's own civilization and beliefs. The leader at that time was a woman, so she was called the Saint, who is the goddess Athena in many of our movies and animations now." Asharuya said.

"Oh, I thought Athena was just a myth." Lin Ran said.

"Myths originate from history. People always like to deify some outstanding people and then build up solid ideas. Once these ideas become beliefs, the power of belief will destroy all enemies like a tsunami. Athena is just a name. Anyone can be called Athena. What matters is whether this person has made outstanding contributions that match the name." Asharuya said.

“Someone in the Black Church, whom I hate, said this.” Lin Ran said.

Asharuya looked into Lin Ran's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, she still caught a glimpse of the cold look in his eyes. It was a look that made people feel cold. If she was a member of the Black Church, he would kill her without hesitation.

Lin Ran will tear the Black Church to pieces.

……

There is a black cloud on the top of Tyrant Monarch Mountain that never dissipates all year round, and the cloud is exactly level with the peak, and sometimes even below the peak.

The Tyrant's Wild Thunder was formed between the Tyrant Mountain and the black cloud, but what was interesting was that the real habitat of the Lightning Soul Seed was in a crevice halfway up the Tyrant Mountain.

I think this is why so many hunters come here to search but to no avail. All people see is lightning falling from the black clouds, so they subconsciously think that the Tyrant Wild Thunder will also be on the mountain peak. However, they never expected that the lightning itself formed a lightning field halfway up the mountain. The real Soul Thunder was finally born here after countless years of tempering.

"Don't you have something to do?" Lin Ran asked.

"I'll help you get the Tyrant Thunder first, and then we'll go." Asharuya said.

Afterwards, the two of them stepped into a long crevice halfway up the mountain. Lin Ran felt that the rocks at this location seemed to be split open by a divine axe that had fallen from the sky.

This must be the masterpiece of thunder and lightning!

He looked inside from outside the crevice, and found that dense lightning threads were twisting and shining in the crevice. It looked as if a terrifying thunder ban was imposed. The real lightning was pale black, and after the flash there would be a little pale yellow light in the air.

The powerful thunder is purple-black in color. Lin Ran has a strong sense of perception, so he can judge the intensity of lightning by the leaping of the lightning element. The stronger the leap of the element, the greater the power. Lin Ran can feel that the tyrant thunder elements in front of him are leaping very fast. They are very restless, as if they will pass through their territory at any time, and they feel like they will explode at any time. I am afraid that as long as they are given a conductor, they will fly around at will and then penetrate anything hard.

"I'll get it." Lin Ran walked in.

"Are you going just like this? I have a way." Asharuya said. Why did she feel that Lin Ran was so reckless?

"So fast." Lin Ran walked in.

The thunder in the crevice of the mountain suddenly struck Lin Ran, and green scales quickly appeared on Lin Ran's body.

The green scales have extremely strong defensive capabilities, and one doesn't feel anything when these thunders hit the body.

He quickly got the soul seed, placed it in a special container, and left.

Asharuya, who was outside the crevice, opened her mouth slightly. This Lin Ran was becoming more and more surprising.

Lin Ran came out and said, "Where are we going next?"

"The top of the mountain!"

……

There are too many monsters living in this Tyrant Mountain. If ordinary people want to climb up the mountain directly, they will basically be eaten by these monsters. Those who can have nests here are probably commander-level creatures, and most of them have relatively ancient bloodlines. No matter whether they dominated the mountains in the past or are gradually evolving and transforming into overlords now, few of them are good people.

However, the winding cave in the mountain is a secret passage that leads to the top of the mountain. When the two left the cave, they found that it was already dawn. However, due to the cumulus clouds here all year round, the top of the mountain and the surrounding mountains are still dark.

The road to the top of the mountain is very steep, and it feels like you may fall down at any time.

There is a long cliff here that looks like a giant Stegosaurus.

The long cliff stretches out of the mountain. The road looks flat, but it is still unsettling from a distance. Walking on it feels like walking on a road in the sky. There are strong winds and surging clouds and fog...

"Go to the end of the long cliff." Asharuya said to Lin Ran.

"Can you tell me what your intention is first?" Lin Ran said.

"There is not much time to explain now. When you reach the end, release your space magic power." Asharuya said.

"Yeah." Seeing Asharuya's serious look, Lin Ran knew that what she was going to do next would definitely be unusual.

In fact, there has always been a very strange feeling on the top of the Tyrant Mountain Range. Suddenly, the clouds began to sink, and then gradually landed at the foot. The sky above is now a deep blue sky without any impurities. The sea of ​​clouds is surging at the foot. Now the mountain of Tyrant Mountain has been covered in clouds. This slightly uphill long cliff is like a gray-white broken bridge standing in it, thus forming a magnificent picture.

In this magnificent scene, Lin Ran slowly walked towards the end of the long cliff. He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, as if he was the only one in the world.

After reaching the end of the long cliff, Lin Ran subconsciously looked down. There was a gap in the sea of ​​clouds below him. He could look down through the gap. Lin Ran wanted to see what height he was at.

However, when Lin Ran looked through the gap in the cloud, he saw a strange black thing that was still moving...
