Versatile Mage: Use Shadow to Bind Mu Ningxue at the Start

Chapter 185: Open-air Camp

Qin Zhan raised his head, only to find it was pitch black ahead.

The ground was pitch black, the sky was pitch black, and there was not a single star in the sky.

After observing carefully for a moment, I realized that it was not night at all, but a huge mountain.

"It's so huge! This is the first time I see such a majestic mountain!"

Qin Zhan said with some shock.

"I hope you mean the mountains and not something else."

Tang Yue glared at Qin Zhan, indicating that she knew exactly what he was thinking.

"This is a big mountain. We should be able to see it when we are at the post station."

Mu Nujiao said very puzzled.

"It must be because of the maze. The maze confused everyone's vision, so we didn't see it."

Jiang Shaoxu replied.

I don't know why, but the temperature didn't seem so hot as we got closer to this huge mountain range.

Lin Feili raised his head and gazed at the starry sky.

After a while, he said, "It's about to appear."

Qin Zhan frowned and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

As soon as the words fell, a cluster of stunning flames lit up at the highest point of the mountain.

The scattered flames began to spread along the mountain wall, burning an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in an instant.

The outline of the mountain was depicted in just a moment.

“So beautiful, so stunning!”

Looking at the Flaming Mountain in front of him, Tang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Buzz buzz~~~"

As everyone was sighing, they heard the sound of flapping wings.

"Look! It's the Dust Grasshopper!"

Zhang Xiaohou suddenly pointed to the other side of the sky, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Groups of Dust Grasshoppers revealed their figures in the firelight. What made everyone panic was that the Dust Grasshoppers actually rushed directly into the Flame Mountains.

"What are they doing, flying up to die?"

Mu Nujiao asked in confusion.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, they may be choosing a way to evolve."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhan came to this conclusion.

"Evolution? How?"

Jiang Shaoxu asked in confusion.

"Duststorm Demon Grasshoppers are afraid of fire. If they can be baptized by fire, they will be born with duststorm demon grasshoppers that are not afraid of fire."

Qin Zhan stopped talking here.

However, both Tang Yue and Mu Nujiao understood what Qin Zhan meant.

Once the dust grasshoppers are no longer afraid of fire, it means that they have no natural enemies and the entire desert will become their territory.

While everyone was talking, the dust grasshoppers had already begun to destroy themselves.

This behavior lasted for about an hour before it was completely over.

Ashes were floating in the sky, the night was getting darker without anyone noticing, and the devil fire in the Flame Mountains began to die out.

Only without the flames did everyone dare to approach the mountain.

Lin Feili walked in front, along a winding mountain path, heading towards the top of the mountain.

Qin Zhan and others followed closely behind.

As we stepped into the mountains, the residual heat from the flames was still there, and the burning sensation under our feet made us feel like we were walking on a hot pot. Soon, some of us could not hold on any longer.

The higher you go up the mountain, the higher the temperature becomes, and gradually only those who practice fire can continue to move forward.

"Brother Zhan, I can't bear it anymore. The temperature is too high."

Zhang Xiaohou was almost soaked all over, with sweat all over his face.

Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu could not bear this temperature either. If they continued to climb up, they would die of dehydration sooner or later.

"Okay, then you guys go back to the post station and rest, I'll go up by myself."

Qin Zhan said. Lin Feili did not climb the mountain with Qin Zhan, but returned to the post station with Zhang Xiaohou and others.

As soon as I returned to the post station, Tong Li came over to me. He seemed to be still concerned about his sister.

"Feili, my sister once said that the patrol team seemed to have discovered some mineral veins, and she will be stationed there."

"Do you know where the mineral vein is? I want to go there and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues about her."

Tong Li said to Lin Feili.

When he heard the word "mineral vein", Lin Feili's face showed a bit of vigilance and hostility.

Seeing this, Tong Li continued to plead, "I have not been able to feel at ease these years. I only want a result."

"If you know where she is, please tell me. Even if all that's left is a pile of bones, I will bring her back to our hometown."

Tong Li's performance was truly tear-jerking.

Lin Feili hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I can take you there, but only you and him."

Lin Feili suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Xiaohou.

"Me? You're going to look for bones, why do you drag me along with you?"

Zhang Xiaohou asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I only believe in you!"

Lin Feili said with extraordinary determination.

"Zhang Xiaohou, just go with them."

Jiang Shaoxu, who knew some of the inside story, quickly persuaded Zhang Xiaohou.

The three high-level mages moved very quickly and reached the cave where Lin Feili lived in just a moment.

"What are we doing here?"

Zhang Xiaohou asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Feili walked to the end of the cave and pushed the big rock away with force.

After the rocks were pushed away, Zhang Xiaohou discovered that there was actually a cave here.

The three of them entered the dark cave and walked inside for more than half an hour before they walked out of the cave.

What comes into view is a basin-shaped valley surrounded by black rocks on all sides.

"She is buried here..."

Lin Feili pointed to a pile of rubble not far away and spoke to Tong Li.

"I want to take her away, her soul must return to her hometown!"

Tong Li dug through the rubble and soon found a pile of tiny skeletons.

He carefully collected the broken bones and wrapped them in a cloth bag, appearing to take great care of them.

"I'm sorry, I can't go on with you."

"We worship our ancestors once every four years. Anyone who has left their hometown must return on that day, otherwise they have to wait another four years."

Tong Li stood up and said to Zhang Xiaohou with a guilty look on his face: "There are only a few days left in this four years."

"You're alone? I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

Zhang Xiaohou said with some concern.

"Everyone has marked the way back, and I'm training in the wind system, so I should be able to return safely."

Tong Li said with a determined look on his face.

Tong Li left alone, no one tried to stop him, and no one could stop him.

Looking at Tong Li's receding back, Zhang Xiaohou's heart was filled with emotion.

It is truly commendable that he took such a big risk just to see his sister return to dust.

If Jiang Shaoxu were here, he would definitely give Zhang Xiaohou a prize.

Honest man + good person!
Double first prize!

As time went by, Qin Zhan also found the soul-level spirit seed - Liexia - in the Flame Mountains.

Tang Yue absorbed the soul seed without hesitation.

However, during the absorption process, Tang Yue's clothes were completely burned.

Qin Zhan, who had been suppressing his attacks for several days, naturally would not miss this good opportunity.
