Versatile Mage: Sword of the Stars, Slay All Evil Spirits

Chapter 140 Encountering the Firebird Again
After walking three kilometers in the desert.

The desert is extremely hot. In order to cool everyone down, ice and water mages are constantly consuming their magic power, and their combat effectiveness is facing weakening.

Even though he has Mordred, a battle fanatic, he still feels insecure if he can't bring his full combat power to the fullest as a mage.

Ge Ming said that they were almost at the abandoned old post station. Tong Li, relying on his familiarity with the desert, led everyone along a safe route and prepared to rest at the post station.

When we arrived at the post station, we found that the oasis had little greenery and was still hot.

Lingling reminded Mo Fan that the Flame Mountains might be not far away, so Mo Fan asked Zhang Xiaohou to explore to the north.

Zhang Xiaohou did not fly. After walking about one kilometer away from the post station, he saw dark rocks with cracks and fire coming out. He realized that it might be a rare holy land of fire element.

Later, he found a cave. After entering, he saw animal skins, charred food and rusty daily necessities. When he was wondering, danger came from behind and a ball of fire blew the rocks into pieces.

He turned around and saw a dark-skinned man who was dressed in rags and wearing only animal-skin pants.

The man spoke incoherently and it took him a long time to reveal that he was a soldier and took out his medals.

Zhang Xiaohou saluted him, and the man returned the standard military salute.

When Zhang Xiaohou asked the man how long he had been trapped and guessed that he might have lived alone for eleven years, the man burst into tears.

Zhang Xiaohou brought the wild man Lin Feili back to the team.

When everyone learned that he was a soldier who had failed to relocate more than ten years ago and had lived alone in the desert for eleven years, they all admired his strong willpower.

Tong Li burst into tears when he heard Lin Feili's name. He recognized Lin Feili and begged him to tell him the whereabouts of his sister Qin Xiaoyu.

It turned out that Tong Li's sister Qin Xiaoyu came here for inspection with the army more than ten years ago, and there was no news of her since she was buried at the post station.

Jiang Shaoxu said that he could use mental magic to help Lin Feili restore his sanity and memory.

Everyone learned that this oasis station was once called Star Station. It was very important because of the black rock core nearby. The military and hunters often operated here. Later, a major sandstorm turned it into a place of demons.

After Jiang Shaoxu performed magic, Lin Feili spoke much more fluently.

Tong Li asked about his sister's situation. Lin Feili said that he had an impression but could not remember clearly. He only said that she seemed to be dead. Although Tong Li was disappointed, he did not ask any more questions.

Tong Li suppressed his inner grief and tried to calm himself down.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "After so many years, I have actually been prepared in my heart, but I just didn't want to accept it.

Now hearing Lin Feili say this, although it is painful, at least I have an answer. "

Everyone was silent and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

After a long while, Mo Fan broke the silence. He patted Tong Li on the shoulder and consoled him, “Tong Li, I am deeply saddened. Although your sister is gone, she would have hoped that you could live well.”

Tong Li nodded and looked at Mo Fan gratefully.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So, under the leadership of Lin Feili, everyone continued to move towards the Flame Mountains.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of difficulties and dangers.

The high temperature in the desert is unbearable and every step requires tremendous physical strength.

Moreover, from time to time, some ferocious demons would appear and attack them.

However, under the leadership of Mordred, everyone worked together and managed to overcome danger time and time again.

As they got closer to the Flaming Mountains, the surrounding environment became more and more bizarre.

The rocks on the ground began to become hot, as if they would melt at any time.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, which made people feel nauseous. Moreover, red lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, making a deafening roar.

"This place is too weird!" Zheng Tong said with a frown.

"Yeah, it feels like something terrible could happen here at any time." Wang Jiu Ming also echoed.

“Everyone, be careful, the situation here is very unusual.” Mo Fan warned.

At this moment, Lin Feili suddenly stopped and his face became very solemn.

"What's wrong, Lin Feili?" Mo Fan asked.

Lin Feili pointed ahead and said, "The core area of ​​the Flame Mountain Range is ahead. There is a very powerful being there. We must be careful."

Everyone looked in the direction Lin Feili pointed, and saw a huge volcano in front of them, with flames and thick smoke constantly spewing out of the crater.

Surrounding the volcano, there is a circle of red light, like a natural barrier.

"Is that the core area of ​​the Flame Mountains?" Mo Fan asked.

Lin Feili nodded and said, "Yes, that is the core area of ​​the Flame Mountain Range. There is a powerful demon there."

"So what should we do now?" Ge Ming asked.

"We must be careful and try not to alarm the demon." Lin Feili said, "I have lived here for a long time and am familiar with the terrain here. I can take you around the core area."

After hearing this, everyone thought this was a good idea.

So, under the leadership of Lin Feili, they carefully bypassed the core area of ​​the Flame Mountains.

While bypassing the core area, they discovered some strange phenomena.

From time to time, some strange runes appear on the ground. These runes flash red light, as if they contain huge energy.

Moreover, the concentration of fire elements in the air is getting higher and higher, making people feel a little suffocated.

"What are these runes?" Lingling asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Lin Feili shook his head and said, "I have lived here for so many years and have never seen these runes. They look very mysterious, as if they are some kind of ancient magic circle."

“No matter what they are, we must be careful.” Mo Fan said, “These runes may contain great dangers. We can’t touch them lightly.”

Everyone nodded and continued to move forward carefully.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the edge of the Flaming Mountains.

Here, they discovered some strange plants and minerals.

These plants and minerals all exude a strong scent of fire and look very precious.

So, people began to collect these plants and minerals.

They carefully packed the plants and minerals into their backpacks, fearing that they would be damaged.

Just as they collected the plants and minerals and were ready to leave.

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard in the sky.

The roar was deafening, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge firebird flying out from the core area of ​​the Flame Mountains.

The firebird was covered in flames, and its wingspan was tens of meters long, making it look extremely terrifying.
