Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 101 Heat

"Although the Valley of Wind appears to be a desolate place, it is actually home to many demons, most of whom possess wind-type demonic power."

Yunhua recalled the intelligence she had gathered earlier: the most famous creature in Wind Valley was the Wind Wolf Clan. These demons were not only incredibly fast, but also had formidable combat power. More importantly, they were very cool!

For some mages, whether their appearance is dignified or not is more important than whether they are powerful.

Some people have captured wind wolves for beast taming training, with remarkable results. They are highly receptive to human training and generally possess strength approaching that of a warrior general upon reaching adulthood. They are highly praised in the market and in short supply.

Driven by huge profits, the Wind Wolf clan here was almost wiped out more than a decade ago. Even the few remaining wild wolves harbor a deep hatred for humans and fight to the death whenever they meet!

I don't know whether humans or demons are more terrifying.

Besides the Wind Wolves, there is also a rare Wind Serpent here. It is a small blue snake with a pair of wings. It is said that they are extremely small, unlike other demons, whose size increases with their strength. On the contrary, the stronger they are, the smaller they are!

Their snake bones are excellent materials for making magical tools; the snake bones of warrior-level warriors alone can fetch astronomical prices, but very few people can obtain them.

It wasn't because they were too strong, although these demons were quite powerful and could release poison, but the real reason was their speed.

They move extremely fast, and even a wind mage at full power might not be able to catch up with them.

Finally, there's the Azure Flame Bird, the target of this mission. It's said that they originally lived on the other side of Falling Wind Mountain and didn't have much conflict with humans. I don't know why they've recently come all this way to steal the magic stone ore that's being mined.

According to the long-bearded old monk at the office, the leader of this group of Azure Flame Birds is likely about to break through.

Demons need magic stones to provide energy when they break through to a higher level. Therefore, it is highly likely that a being in the Azure Flame Bird population is about to break through to a higher level.

It is currently known that the flock of Azure Flame Birds near Falling Wind Mountain is a group of several Warrior-level birds leading Servant-level birds.

The only thing capable of commanding a large number of races, or even warrior-level Azure Flame Birds, is a great demon that is close to becoming a leader. Such beings are generally called "advanced" demons. If one foot is in a higher level, they can be called "sub-leaders"!

The advanced-stage demons are powerful enough to rival ordinary warrior-level demons, and the sub-commanders are even more overwhelming to the advanced-stage demons. They have undergone a fundamental transformation. As for the true commander-level demons—

The Winged Wolf that Bo Cheng encountered was a commander-level enemy. At that time, Zhan Kong led the elite troops of the military out in full force, but they still failed to defeat the enemy and instead lost a lot of manpower.

A supreme demon of the commander level is capable of annihilating a city; its mere presence near a city will trigger an alarm and elicit a strong reaction from human magicians.

Of course, as an important source of magic stones, Phoenix City has a garrison of mage guards, and the Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance are equally powerful here. They are not afraid of ordinary commanders.

That being said, this is still a hidden danger. So, behind the expulsion mission, there is actually a "hidden mission" to find out the reason behind the Azure Flame Bird's unusual attack on the magic stone mine. To put it more simply, it is to leave the Falling Wind Mountains and go deep into the Azure Flame Bird's lair to investigate the truth!

However, if Yunhua doesn't go, she's courting death.

Luofeng Mountain is a small mountain range, but once you leave Luofeng Mountain, you will reach the nearby Anfeng Mountain Range.

That was a true primeval forest, rarely visited by humans, and home to more than just the Azure Flame Bird; its danger far surpassed that of the developed Wind Canyon.

In fact, the Wind Canyon developed by humans is only a part of the vast Anfeng Mountain Range. It was only because of the magic stone mining that it gradually attracted wave after wave of magicians to "pan for gold", which led to the development of an unknown small town.

On the way to the mine, Yunhua encountered many military mages who were driving a convoy of dark green military trucks slowly out of the canyon and onto another main road.

From a distance, Yunhua could see that the cloak on the truck had been torn in large pieces, indicating that it had been attacked again.

It must be those Azure Flame Birds!

Yun Hua's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected these Azure Flame Birds to be so bold. After several days of continuous attacks, the humans had already reacted. The military's Guardian Mages had already increased their manpower, and even large trucks were packed with Guardian Mages. He saw that there were actually five people crammed into one truck, which showed how much the military valued them.

Even so, they couldn't stop those Azure Flame Birds. It can only be said that they were willing to risk their lives for these magic stones!

Yunhua silently quickened his pace. Exploring the Anfeng Mountains was clearly not his primary goal. If anyone was going to go, it would be the professional reconnaissance mages from the military. He wasn't a mage specializing in movement like wind or shadow magic, nor had he received any professional training. He'd leave these things to the real professionals.

After walking for half a day, under the scorching midday sun, it still looked back reluctantly in the last moments, as if it wanted to shower all its light and heat upon the world.

Yunhua moved forward along the shady cliff face. It wasn't the windiest place yet, but there was already a force four or five wind. Fortunately, the fine sand had already been blown away, so she could still see the path.

Although there was a breeze, Yunhua didn't feel comfortable at all, because it was all hot air blowing.

It's really strange. The temperature here is so high that Yunhua can hardly stand it. Xiaoti is staying in his bag with the iced drink he bought earlier and doesn't want to come out at all. Not to mention the army of bees, Yunhua is very worried that they will be roasted to death if they come out!

Fortunately, we're almost at the mine. Hopefully, there will be refrigeration equipment there.

Thinking this, Yunhua relaxed her guard for a moment, only to see a scarlet one-eyed creature in a crevice in the cliff in the blink of an eye.

"Squeak~ Squeak~~"

When the giant-eyed rat saw Yunhua, it couldn't help but shrink back. It didn't want to go out in such hot weather, but it was so hungry that its instinct to eat overcame its brain and made it crawl out of the ground in the scorching heat.

Yunhua saw the demon light up its star trails, and brilliant flames burst forth from its fair fists, scorching a section of the cliff face red. The giant-eyed rat was terrified and tried to retreat, but it was too late.

Caught in the narrow crevice of the cliff face, the giant-eyed rat had nowhere to escape and was burned to ashes by the exploding flames. Finally, it no longer had to endure the agony of hunger.
