Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

"Hahahahahahaha!!!" Looking at the increasingly full core of the earth, Shi Qianshou showed a crazy smile. At this time, there were corpses all around him.

But soon he felt an extremely powerful vitality.

What is it? Shi Qianshou turned around and found a young man walking towards him. He looked about the same age as Zhang Xiaohou and looked familiar.

He frowned and soon recognized Lin Ran.

"Oh..., it's you, Lin Ran, who is known as the strongest of the younger generation. Although you are a big shot in the National Government Competition, it is only a competition for high-level mages. I am a super-class mage. Do you think I am weak?" Shi Qianshou said. He felt that as long as he devoured Lin Ran, he would be able to completely fill the Core of the Earth.

Lin Ran didn't like to argue with others. He looked at Shi Qianshou with a fierce look, and suddenly thousands of flames burst out from Lin Ran's body.

These flames that have been tempered are extremely fierce.

The fierce flames made Shi Qianshou feel a little unbearable; the breath alone was enough to make people tremble with fear.

But the greater the risk, the greater the reward, and the poisonous insects he controlled launched an attack.

Lin Ran didn't even bother to defend himself, the flames would automatically burn these disgusting bugs.

Brilliant fire stars appeared beside Lin Ran. These stars quickly connected and soon formed a huge star palace. The breath of destruction was overwhelming.

Shi Qianshou could feel a huge amount of energy gathering, which could not be blocked or resisted.

Why is Lin Ran so powerful? Shi Qianshou is already a leader among the super-class, but when facing Lin Ran, he feels like a baby.

He ran towards the Core of the Earth like crazy.

Lin Ran said disdainfully: "You are about to die and you are still thinking about it?"

The Gate of Hell!!!

Super-level magic descended, and everything was dissolved under the scorching heat.

Shi Qianshou roared at the incoming flames. He grabbed the Core of the Earth and roared, "Don't forget that it was me who made you recover. Lend me your strength!!!"

The core of the earth seemed to respond to Shi Qianshou, and enormous power was released.

The power of flames and the core of the earth collides.

The next second, a violent explosion occurred, and Lin Ran and Shi Qianshou were all enveloped by the explosion. This horrific explosion actually completely destroyed the underground cave.

Lin Ran was also knocked away by this terrifying force, and he used instant movement continuously to create some distance.

The turbulent energy made it impossible for him to sense Shi Qianshou.

Lin Ran was in the air, looking at the huge collapsed pit below. There was no breath of Shi Qianshou or the Core of the Earth in it. He escaped.

……

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!” Shi Qianshou laughed crazily while holding the Core of the Earth. He survived. Even though Lin Ran severely injured him with one move, he survived. As long as he survived, he would have a chance to start over.

At this time, several demons discovered him. Shi Qianshou waved his hand and several poisonous insects ate these demons, and then these poisonous insects returned to him.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The poisonous insects exploded one by one, and the life created by their explosion fell on Shi Qianshou. The burns on his body recovered quickly. As long as he had the Core of the Earth, even Lin Ran might not be able to kill him.

……

After several days of fleeing, Mo Fan and his companions finally arrived at the outskirts of the desert. It was unknown whether Lin Ran had dealt with Shi Qianshou.

Lin Ran still couldn't let everyone feel at ease. After all, Shi Qianshou would never let them go. Now that he had the Core of the Earth, he would definitely go crazy to help the Core of the Earth replenish its energy. The fastest way to do this was to kill crazily.

The Tarim Fortress is built entirely of gray-white rocks. It is a tall fortress city with at least hundreds of thousands of people living in it. With the entire Tarim Fortress City as the center, there are many towns based on mines, stone factories, wind power bases, and light source bases in the basin within a radius of 100 kilometers. These towns are all within the security boundary. The Tarim Fortress City will replace troops every week to guard these towns to prevent attacks from demons in the desert, plateau, and caves.

This area is very dangerous, with at least two or three attacks in a month, so every town is set up with a barrier like the Tarim Fortress City. The workers and mages are all active within the barrier, so they are safe even if they are attacked by demons.

They went directly to the Tarim Fortress City. Zhang Xiaohou was a soldier, so he could enter the military headquarters directly. Now everyone else was exhausted, but they were all waiting outside the gate of the military headquarters, hoping that the military would immediately issue a warrant to arrest Shi Qianshou!

Zhang Xiaohou went directly into the military camp. Every town here was guarded by a military commander. After all, the energy required for a city was enormous. The mines and energy bases in a town within the Tarim Fortress City could provide energy support for five or six second-tier cities, and even the operation of the barrier!
"General, Zhang Xiaohou, the commander of the Qinling Army, wants to see you. He says he has something important to report." A communications officer said in front of the camp.

At this time, there was only one military commander at the long table in the military commander's camp, and all the others were military commanders. However, most of them were in charge of command and communication, and most of them were not combat military commanders.

At this time, two staff officers were sitting next to General Simuda, their faces extremely solemn.

"We haven't found out the cause yet. Our top priority now is to rescue the workers, townspeople, soldiers, and mages trapped in the emergency shelter. They have been trapped for three days now. There is a serious shortage of food and water. There are also many injured people inside. Without medicine, they will surely die." One of the female staff officers said immediately.

Simuda of the great army could not help but snorted coldly and said: "Save people? Don't I want to save people? But if we don't find the cause and don't expel these dust storm grasshoppers, then no matter how many people we send to Anjiao Town, they will all be sending themselves to death. Now it has been three days, and there is still no clue. No information can be transmitted in or out. Are you all a bunch of good-for-nothings!" "Commander of the great army, Zhang Xiaohou of the Qinling Military Control Commission is outside asking to see you." The communications officer repeated.

"Why is the Qinling military coming here to join in the fun at this time? We don't have time to deal with him now!" Simuda of the army said unhappily.

"But he said he had something important to do..."

"What kind of important matter could be more important than the more than 10,000 people trapped in Cape Ann?!"

"This...Okay, then I'll let him wait first."

Outside the military headquarters, Mo Fan and his companions were waiting for news from Zhang Xiaohou, but soon they saw Zhang Xiaohou walking out with a sullen face.

"Why, the people in the military here don't believe what you say?" Mo Fan asked immediately.

As a military commander, Zhang Xiaohou's words certainly carry some weight. Logically speaking, the military court should deal with such matters immediately. Even if it is not completely certain that Shi Qianshou did it, the person would be brought in for investigation first.

"It's not that they don't believe what I said, but I didn't have the chance to speak. Now the Tarim Fortress is facing more difficult problems." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"More troublesome? What could be more troublesome than encouraging the demon who got the Core of the Earth? Shi Qianshou is completely crazy now. He even killed his own subordinates without mercy. If he is allowed to walk out of the desert, who knows how many innocent people will die. Moreover, Lin Ran has not come back either. He must have encountered some accident." Ge Ming said worriedly.

Jiang Shaoxu glared at Ge Ming and said, "Lin Ran will definitely be fine!"

Mu Nujiao also glared at Ge Ming.

Lingling is very clear about Lin Ran's strength. Lin Ran is very strong and can kill Shi Qianshou. He hasn't come back yet, probably because Shi Qianshou ran away. He is looking for him, but it is very difficult to search alone. He hopes Lin Ran will come back soon.

"Well, this can't be blamed on the military here. I just asked about it. Anjiao Town has been occupied by dust storm grasshoppers. Now the sky above the entire town and the surrounding land are hovering with dust storm grasshoppers. Fortunately, a patrol team discovered it in time. He let the people in the town and the people in the mines escape to the underground shelter, which avoided a large number of deaths. However, more than 10,000 people are trapped in the underground shelter. Food, water, and medicine are very scarce. The food and nutrient tanks on the ground that have not been brought to the shelter in time have been swept up by the dust storm grasshoppers." Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Is this true? Isn't every town here protected by a powerful barrier? Why could it be breached so easily and without any warning? How could a town fall so easily... Could it be because of Shi Qianshou?" Xu Pingdong asked.

Zhang Xiaohou shook his head and said, "This was born three days ago. At that time, we were still in the desert, and Shi Qianshou had not yet obtained the Core of the Earth."

"This is really adding insult to injury. The problem of Shi Qianshou has not been solved yet, and the Dust Storm Demon Grasshoppers have started to cause trouble again. These Dust Storm Demon Grasshoppers are completely impossible to kill. Even if the military sends troops to wipe them out, even if they rescue people, they may be wiped out themselves." Ge Ming said.

The dust storm grasshoppers have always been the biggest threat to the west. The construction of the city's barrier had greatly reduced the harm of these dust storm magic energies. It was thought that the city could be expanded safely and securely, but suddenly such a terrible thing happened.

If the dust storm grasshoppers are not resolved, there will never be a truly standing city here, and poverty will spread throughout the Tarim Basin and surrounding areas like a locust plague. The more dangerous and barren it is, the fewer people will set foot here, and it will enter a vicious cycle.

It is obvious that the Tarim military wants to use the Tarim Fortress City as a foundation, and then gradually connect some towns that can provide a lot of resources and energy, and then build a prosperous industrial magic city on this land. However, the attack of the dust storm grasshoppers broke through their so-called impregnable security barrier in an instant, and most of their efforts over the years will fall through!

“Fortunately, there weren’t too many casualties. However, if people in the town died, then the Tarim Fortress City would most likely be evacuated. After that, this area full of resources would be officially listed as a demon land and would no longer be suitable for human survival. The Western military has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources here. In order to reclaim the land here, many soldiers have sacrificed their lives, but now it is going to be completely destroyed by the dust storm grasshoppers.” Zhang Xiaohou sighed.

"Are you all okay?" Lin Ran appeared with a silver glow.

Mo Fan was relieved to see that Lin Ran was fine. He asked, "Is he dead?"

Lin Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "He activated the power of the Earth Core to force me back, and then I lost his line speed. I searched for two days but couldn't find any clues. I guess I went in the wrong direction, so I rushed here."

"What a pity." Mo Fan sighed.

Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Nujiao squeezed next to Lin Ran, checking if Lin Ran was okay.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the main gate of the military headquarters, and a female soldier with a very impressive bust walked out. She walked out with a woman in a staff officer's uniform, and behind them followed several military commanders of high ranks.

The two female soldiers were discussing something. The one with the tall bust glanced at the door casually and found that Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou standing there looked familiar. She couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Then she saw Lin Ran and was stunned for a moment. Lin Ran! ?

"Sister, wait for me." The female soldier, who was proud of her breasts, said to the staff officer, and then walked towards Lin Ran and the others.

When Lin Ran and the others saw someone coming, they all looked in that direction...

For some reason, Mo Fan felt that the breasts were familiar. At least that's what Mo Fan thought. When he saw that stern yet feminine face, Lin Ran and the other three couldn't help but show surprise.

"Why is it you?" Mo Fan spoke first.

Lin Ran also said: "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time since we last met. You three are brothers in distress." The hot female military commander also smiled. She had spent some wonderful days with Lin Ran in the cave in Dongting Lake. At least she felt it was very wonderful.

"Li Man, aren't you in charge of Dongting Lake? Why are you here at the Western Army Headquarters?" Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Dongting Lake has basically stabilized. The military city is now a routine matter. Coming to the west gives me more opportunities to make achievements, so I applied for a transfer. I have been here for a year and a half. I didn't expect to meet you here again..." Li Man, the commander of the army, glanced at Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan, then set her beautiful eyes on Lin Ran and said with a smile, "You little pervert are now famous."

Mu Nujiao: "..."

Jiang Shaoxu: “…”

Lin Ran was a little embarrassed. At that time, he was at the age where he could even pierce through steel plates. Naturally, he couldn't control himself when he saw a plump woman like Li Man. Now, as he knows more and more about this aspect, he is no longer as impulsive as before, at least he will not be seduced easily.
