Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

The road they had taken before was now occupied by only Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Lin Ran. However, the people in the military camp felt their burden increased several times over. They were really afraid that the three of them would be attacked in an instant like before. They could have turned around and left, as the deaths and disasters of the people here had nothing to do with them. However, they walked in without hesitation.

"Brother Fan, are you afraid?" Zhang Xiaohou, Lin Ran and Mo Fan were walking side by side. After hesitating for a while, they couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay. We're almost used to it." Mo Fan replied. Mo Fan still vaguely remembered the disaster in Bo City. They, a group of students who had just graduated from high school, formed a vanguard team to open up a path for the school to evacuate. Although the roads at that time were indeed not comparable to those now, they were all very weak at that time. It was also the first time they faced danger. Mo Fan remembered that he was so scared that he was shaking all over. It was estimated that only the pervert Lin Ran had the ability to fight back.

Even though I'm afraid, I have to move forward, because this is often the case and I won't be safe by retreating.

"To be honest, if I were alone, I would be very scared. But I found that as long as I follow you, everything will be fine." Zhang Xiaohou said optimistically.

Lin Ran said, "Don't you take a look at the strength of the people around you?"

Mo Fan smiled. He knew that Zhang Xiaohou trusted them very much.

Everyone has a trustworthy person in their heart. Even if they are on the doomsday road to an unknown death, they will feel extra at ease. The reliable person in Zhang Hou's heart is Mo Fan.

……

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

There was constant noise around him. Mo Fan's spiritual cultivation was already very powerful, but his brain was about to explode. In this situation, he estimated that he could only barely cast a few elementary magics, and there was no way he could cast intermediate or advanced magics. Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and found that this guy was fine. This guy's spiritual cultivation must have reached a very outrageous level.

Fortunately, Mo Fan's Yan Ji had her own fire circle. After Mo Fan summoned Yan Ji, she escorted them.

What these dust storm grasshoppers fear most is the Fierce Cloud Fire. After all, they were born with the help of the flames around the Fierce Cloud Fire. They are just accessories of the Fierce Cloud Fire. Naturally, they have no reason to dare to challenge the majestic and powerful Fierce Cloud Fire. The Fierce Cloud Fire has a more terrifying killing power on them than other flames. Once it touches them, it can ignite the fire in their bodies.

Lin Ran's flame turned into a firebird to protect Little Yan Ji.

Yan Ji stood on Mo Fan's shoulder. She didn't need to release any energy. Her own domain was enough to prevent any dust storm grasshoppers from approaching within a radius of ten meters. She also started playing with the firebird.

Unknowingly, the three of them had stepped into the area where the Dust Storm Grasshoppers were most densely populated. At this time, the soldiers in the command camp near the rock formation saw that Lin Ran and the others were safe and sound, and they finally felt relieved!
“It’s so good to be real!”

"There is always a way out."

The fire circle created by Little Yan Ji has now become a glimmer of hope for the soldiers. Looking at these figures gradually moving away, even these soldiers are full of admiration!

……

The sunlight had a hard time falling on the ground, and huge numbers of dust storm grasshoppers were flying around and above them, making the three of them feel as if they had fallen into a wormhole, as if an entire army was about to be submerged.

Compared with monsters, humans are still much weaker.

Lin Ran and the other two slowly stepped into Anjiao Town. When they got here, even the ground was covered with a layer of dust storm grasshoppers. Their secretions had also coated the town with a layer of sealing wax, which was simply stinking.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

The scorching red fire circle passed by quickly, and a dust storm was formed all around. The grasshoppers flew up in fear and then quickly fled into the sky.

Mo Fan suddenly found the skeleton of a summoned beast. It was probably a summoned creature of a military wizard. He sent it out to check the situation. Unexpectedly, it became food for the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper Bees.

The dust storm grasshoppers are not giving up yet. They can still smell the breath of living people underground. They will not leave until they eat the people.

"It should be here, the building... Shit, where is the building?" Zhang Xiaohou looked at the blueprint, but when he looked up, he found that there was nothing in front of the three of them.

On the blueprint, there are clearly four buildings here! !
“These guys are really perverted. If they could eat the buildings right from the start, why didn’t they just eat them? I remember looking here before and these stone buildings were still there…” said Mo Fan.

"Maybe they don't like to eat it either." Lin Ran said.

"Hmm, maybe it's hard to digest?" Zhang said.

“Digestion… That’s right!!” Mo Fan suddenly realized something.

Previously, on the Flame Demon Mountain, Lin Ran and his companions had spent a few days with the mutated devil grasshopper. At first, they gave it dried meat, and it ate it immediately. But later, when the dried meat was gone, it began to eat other things on its own. It first started with the fire ash grass in the cracks of the rocks, and then slowly moved on to eating gravel and even rocks. After that, Mo Fan gave it the little dried meat left, and it happily ate it...

This shows that the dust storm grasshopper has clear priorities when choosing what to eat.

"Duststorm Grasshoppers first eat living things, then fresh plants, then iron and stone, and finally..." Mo Fan said this while looking forward.

In front of the three of them, there were several dust storm grasshoppers that had no food to find at all. They were sniffing the soil on the ground and trying to eat them.

"This is bad! They have started eating dirt!" Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but shout.

“Soil and sand are probably the most difficult foods for them to digest. They will never choose to eat them until the very end. However, if there is nothing to eat around, there are living things under the soil!” Mo Fan felt a chill when he said this.

If the dust storm grasshoppers eat up all the soil on the surface, then the people taking shelter underground will have no chance of survival!!!

……

The three of them spent some time finding the underground entrance, and then Zhang Xiaohou started knocking on the stone door.

He is a soldier, so he just needs to type the military code, and the people inside will naturally know that rescue is coming.

The heavy stone door was the last line of defense for the refugees, but when the guards heard any sound other than the buzzing sound of the dust storm grasshoppers, their desperate hearts were instantly ignited!

"It's rescue, our rescue has arrived!!" the gatekeeper inside shouted excitedly.

"But, there are still so many Duststorm Grasshoppers outside, and my summoned beast was just..."

"This is the secret code, it can't be wrong, let's open the door quickly!" Upon hearing the news of the rescue, the people inside breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when people found out that there were only three extremely young magicians who came here, and they saw no army, no food, no water, and no medicine, their joyful mood quickly disappeared.

"Just sending you three people here? Have we been abandoned?" said a soldier who was frustrated from the beginning.

"Only the three of us can get here." Zhang Xiaohou said.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan both opened the space capsule and poured out the supplies inside. Although these supplies could not last too long, they could still give these hungry and cold people a little hope.

"We will come here more often. Before we find a way to drive away the dust storm grasshoppers, you just have to be more patient." Zhang said.

"It's been so long, is there still no solution? Could it be that the military is really planning to give up on us, so they sent you three here to give us the last meal?" said a soldier with some anger on his face.

"Chen Yi, can you please calm down? There are dust storm grasshoppers everywhere outside. Even if the entire military is mobilized, it is impossible to kill them. Isn't the military already trying to rescue us? The three of them risked their lives to bring us these food and medicines. How can you blame them!" Captain Liu said.

Chen Yi snorted coldly, then turned around and sat in the corner, his face full of gloom and resentment.

"You guys control the situation and make sure the people here don't panic," Zhang Xiaohou instructed.

Mo Fan pulled Zhang Hou aside and whispered, “If we run back to get the supplies and bring them back, then these dust storm grasshoppers will probably have eaten all the soil on the surface.”

"What should we do?" Zhang Xiaohou's face was full of anxiety at this moment. He couldn't help but sweep his eyes across the people in the entire underground shelter. He looked at them huddled together helplessly, and felt very uncomfortable. He also saw Lin Ran comforting a little girl. After all, he was surrounded by girls.

“Oh yeah, not everyone here can be trusted. We should not expose the fact that the Dust Storm Grasshoppers have started to eat dirt. Let’s call Captain Liu over first and listen to his opinion.” Mo Fan said.

Zhang Xiaohou quickly called Liu over and told him that the dust storm grasshoppers had already invaded the surface.

The captain's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of frustration.

“We only tell you this because we’re afraid that people like Chen Yi will stir up everyone’s emotions and make more people unable to continue holding on,” said Mo Fan.

"Ah, I understand what you mean. Forget it, just go away. Since you can come in and go out, there is no need for you to be buried with us here. In any case, I am very grateful for your rescue." Liu Dao.

"You... We are not going to abandon you. We just want to hear your opinions on how we can save the people here. Time is running out. By the way, did you see the guy who was comforting the girl? That guy is a super-class mage with strong strength, so do you have any ideas?" Zhang Xiaohou said.

"The only protection for the town is the barrier. Now that the barrier is gone, it will definitely be destroyed." Captain Liu said.

"What if we restart the barrier?" asked Zhang Hou.

Liu shook his head and said, "It's useless to restart the barrier now, because these dust storm grasshoppers are no longer afraid of the barrier fire."

"What kind of fire is the barrier's fire? Can this fire be changed?" Mo Fan asked.

"I don't know what kind of fire it is, but the type of fire can be changed. As long as we reach the core of the barrier and inject another kind of fire energy into it, the fire will immediately change. I have seen the mayor do this before."

"Got it. My flames are what the Dust Storm Grasshoppers fear. If I can use my Fiery Cloud Fire to spread the barrier fire of Anjiao Town, I believe I can solve the problem of the Dust Storm Grasshoppers very quickly." Mo Fan said.

"Is your fire really so magical?" the captain said in disbelief.

“How else could we have gotten in? Captain, stop talking. We don’t have much time left. Even though the possibility is not high, we have to give it a try. We can’t just sit here and wait to die!” said Mo Fan.

When the captain heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, they cannot just sit there and wait to die, having a way to execute it is always better than doing nothing.

"Okay, next I'll take you to the core of the barrier!" said the captain heavily.

……

Without bringing many people, only Zhang Hou, Liu, and Mo Fan left the underground shelter, while Lin Ran was comforting them. It should be said that Lin Ran was trying to reassure these people. After all, Lin Ran had already demonstrated his super-level cultivation, and he could make everyone feel more at ease.

The core of the barrier that Mo Fan and his friends were going to was in the town government building, although it had now turned into ruins.

Fortunately, the core of the barrier is also underground, and the shelter and the barrier array are not connected, so they must first walk out of the basement, then walk through the long street, and finally reach the center of the entire Cape Town.

The captain was a little nervous at first. He was not sure whether the two young men beside him were really that powerful. It was not until Mo Fan released the Blazing Cloud Fire that all the Dust Storm Grasshoppers consciously distanced themselves from him. The captain's eyes sparkled with light! !

They had used fire magic to drive away these dust storm grasshoppers before, but unfortunately, no matter how strong the fire they used, these dust storm grasshoppers were not very afraid.

……

"Lin Ran Lin Ran Lin Ran, can you hug me?" A little girl of seven or eight years old looked at Lin Ran and said.

Lin Ran had hugged many people just now, and she wanted one too.

"No problem." Lin Ran hugged the girl and turned around.

The girl was laughing happily. At this time, a little black-haired girl said, "Can we survive?"

These words instantly made the atmosphere, which had been slightly lively, become depressing again.

Lin Ran walked up to the little girl, pinched her face and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine as long as I am here."

Lin Ran is actually still waiting for someone. Shi Qianshou should know that there is the core of the barrier here. As long as the core of the barrier is taken away, the core of the earth will be restored soon, so Lin Ran is waiting for him to show up.
