Versatile Mage: Started as Gengar and was selected for the National Government Tournament

Chapter 88 The Terrifying Fire
On the shore, the people who successfully crossed the river looked back and saw the dense swarms of white sand demon soldiers completely surrounding and drowning Chu Ming and Ding Yumian. They couldn't help but show expressions of fear.

"They haven't come out yet!!" Ai Tutu looked worried.

"Surrounded by so many sand soldiers, there's no chance they'll get out..." Zhao Manyan shook his head and sighed.

"Trust him, everything will be fine!"

Mu Nujiao kept searching the sand river for traces of Chu Ming and Ding Yumian.

At this time.

Before everyone had time to grieve, they sensed a surge of spatial power.

Followed by.

Ripples appeared in space.

Mega Gengar stepped out of the space first, and a dark space suddenly descended.

Then, Chu Ming emerged from the shadows holding Ding Yumian.

"That's great!" Ai Tutu said in surprise.

"I knew you were okay!" Mu Nujiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Holy crap, this contracted beast can even travel through space?"

Zhao Manyan was shocked.

But at this moment, he finally understood.

Why did Chu Ming dare to be so bold as to stay behind?

Chu Ming actually owns a contracted beast with high-level space teleportation capabilities?
Others have to work hard to cultivate their space system to a high level before they can achieve space jumps.

You made a contract with a demon and you did it?

Is this the summoning mage?
Too perverted!

And Ding Yumian's psychic power is almost the same as the high-level "Soul Capture and Mind Control", right?

A definitely high-level psychic?

For a moment, he was so frightened by Chu Ming and Ding Yumian that he began to doubt his life.

This young couple has hidden their cards too well.

……

Crossed the Shawang River safely.

Everyone stepped onto a piece of land that looked like it had been burned red by flames.

This corner, separated by the huge Shawang River, is the true northern corner of Zhuoyuan.

The northern corner of Zhuoyuan is generally a basin.

Therefore, the closer you get to the center of the northern corner of the Burning Plain, the lower the terrain becomes. At the same time, the energy of the fire element becomes more and more astonishing, like a huge brazier.

According to legend, beneath this burning plain, there is likely a very high level of celestial fire hidden.

Therefore, this "brazier" not only gave birth to many spiritual seeds, but even soul seeds had appeared.

At this time, Lingling held the map and observed the terrain for a long time. She looked through the information in her notebook and made strange calculations.

"Bury these things in these directions."

Determined the approximate location.

She took out four strange conical spinning top-like instruments from the bag.

"Element detector?" Zhao Manyan, a member of a wealthy and experienced family, immediately recognized the item.

Lingling nodded and said, "I've learned about the habits of creatures like Yanji from books. They generally live in places where the concentration of flames is more than five times higher than normal."

"When she is preparing to give birth to a new life, in order to ensure that the new life has a strong flame awakening at birth, Mother Yanji will often stay in a place where the flame spirit seed is."

Soon, the element detectors were deployed.

It doesn't take too long to detect element concentrations.

Try it out a little.

After determining the concentration direction, Lingling immediately asked everyone to put away their equipment and set off immediately.

But suddenly, Zhao Manyan pointed in the direction ahead and said in fear, "Something's wrong! There seems to be a fire ahead, and it's burning very high!"

Everyone looked and saw that the flames in the distance were constantly expanding, undulating like mountains, as if... they were going to burn to the sky.

Zhao Chenying looked closely, realized something instantly, and her expression changed drastically!

"No, run away."

"This is a fire disaster! It's moving towards us, run away!" Zhao Chenying suddenly screamed.

The words fell.

The flames were like mountains and seas, rolling up heavy waves and engulfing the horizon.

And it rushed here with a vast momentum. Fortunately.

I don’t know how many kilometers it is.

The sea of fire was still floating in the distance.

But Chu Ming felt very clearly that the sea of fire was within his sight, which meant that this thing was several times larger than what the naked eye could actually see.

At the same time, it also means that the speed at which the sea of fire spreads is much faster than it appears!

"There is no time to wait, we must determine a safe area." Chu Ming was about to pick up the map to check.

At this time, Zhao Chenying pointed in a trembling voice and said, "Let's run in that direction, or the opposite direction!"

Chu Ming saw Chen Ying was so confident.

I can't help but have some doubts in my heart.

But time is running out now and there is no time to ask in detail.

Only after you are safe can you ask her.

"Lingling, what do you think?" Chu Ming looked at Lingling.

"Yeah, that's fine with me."

Determined safety areas.

Everyone started running for their lives.

Finally, after running for several kilometers, I felt the burning sensation in the air gradually subside.

Zhao Manyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the break lasted less than ten minutes.

A wave of waves has risen again.

The earth suddenly shook.

Among the rolled up sand.

I could vaguely see four-legged monsters as strong as cattle, running at full speed.

A group of demons with an extremely astonishing number!

Their heads and limbs are covered with an extremely hard armor, which is reddish-brown in color.

The earth began to shake under their footsteps!

"What the hell, we just escaped the fire disaster, and now we're facing a beast tide?"

Zhao Manyan turned around and looked in panic.

"They should be fleeing like us!" Chu Ming replied as he watched everything in the distance through a telescope.

"That's the Sand Armor Beast, a warrior-level creature that lives in the Burning Plain and is famous for its defensive capabilities." Zhao Chenying explained.

"Should we retreat further?!"

Zhao Manyan felt the ground shaking more and more violently, and his heartbeat continued to accelerate.

This large group of warrior-level creatures has the combat effectiveness and destructive power that is comparable to that of a legion.

"Don't worry too much. They are now completely dominated by the fear of the fire and can't care about us." Zhao Chenying comforted.

"You seem to be very familiar with this place." Chu Ming looked at Zhao Chenying and suddenly asked.

Lingling also nodded and said, "Your understanding of this place far exceeds ours."

Zhao Chenying looked apologetic and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because I have a relative who once came here and was caught in a fire disaster... Luckily, she survived, but even so, she suffered from the aftereffects of the burns. Many famous healing teachers have been unable to cure her."

"Your relatives?" Zhao Manyan asked doubtfully.

Zhao Chenying nodded: "My mother."

"Zhao Manyan, it seems like you don't care about your family at all?" Ai Tutu complained.

Soon.

After listening to Zhao Chenying's narration.

Everyone understood Zhao Chenying's purpose.

A hint of pity appeared in Dante Yumian's eyes.

The other party wanted to use the Fire Tribulation Fruit to find the root cause of his mother's burns.

Since a fire disaster has occurred.

Then she also hopes to obtain the Fire Tribulation Fruit.

If there is competition between teammates... but one of them is doing it for his mother... should you fulfill his wish?
"Don't worry about anything else."

Chu Ming saw what she was thinking, gently shook her hand and smiled.
