Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 101 Searching

Yellow sand swirled in the air; the only constant in the Tagor Desert seemed to be its unchanging golden hue. No wonder the snake people wanted to break free of this cage; given the cold and sinister nature of most snake people, survival here was truly difficult.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Lin Feng and his group right now. They are currently flying endlessly through this boundless desert.

Hai Bodong, who was leading the group, kept glancing at the map in his hand and making marks, as if he was searching for something. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped.

"Elder Hai?" Seeing Hai Bodong suddenly stop, Lin Feng's expression flashed with surprise. Could it be that he has already found him?

"Master Lin Feng, please take a look. Based on my many years of experience and the strange, scorching aura I felt at the time, I have summarized three possible locations where strange spirits may exist."

Hai Bodong pointed to a place that had been crossed out on the map and said, "One of these places has been eliminated by us. Of the next two places, I have removed the one closest to the Snake People. The remaining one is right in front of us."

Hearing this, Hu Qian and the others couldn't help but cheer. For someone like Lin Feng, who grew up in the desert, the endless yellow sand was nothing new. However, these elders from Canaan Academy, although they had also fought their way out of the bloody Black Corner Region, were somewhat impatient with the monotonous yellow sand.

Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, he couldn't help but feel slightly invigorated, and even his aura, which had been suppressed by the fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth, seemed to rise slightly.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Feng and Hai Bodong said nothing more, exchanged a glance, and flew straight towards the place indicated on the map.

"Tap, tap, tap"

After flying for another quarter of an hour, the group landed slowly and strolled through the yellow sand.

"Master Lin Feng, this place is where the fire attribute energy is strongest in the surrounding area. If it's not here, then we can only go deeper into the desert and approach the Snake People's territory."

Hai Bodong looked at the golden expanse beneath his feet, his expression slightly grave. Even with Hu Qian as his backer, he still didn't want to face that crazy woman.

"Haha, Your Majesty the Ice Emperor, there's no need to be discouraged. Perhaps this is where the spiritual treasure resides!"

Just then, a peak Dou Wang elder in the group spoke up, which eased Hai Bodong's somewhat solemn expression.

"I was overthinking it. If we're lucky, this place might just be what Master Lin Feng is looking for."

Just as the group was about to speak, an elder in the crowd spoke up.

"Rat, it's your turn to deal with this thick layer of yellow sand!"

"How many times have I told you? My surname is Zhang. If you call me a rat again, may your grandson be born without an anus." After saying this, Elder Zhang, without waiting for a reply, suddenly jumped to a certain position, causing everyone to step back a distance.

"Mid-level Profound Rank Battle Skill - Piercing Heaven and Earth!"

As Elder Zhang finished speaking, his palms rapidly formed hand seals, and in a split second, he squatted down and slammed his fist into the ground. A beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, appeared, and before anyone could observe it for even a moment, it pierced straight down into the desert.

"Boom!"

This powerful fluctuation was something Lin Feng had anticipated and quickly activated the Five Elements Barrier; the Snake-People would likely have already noticed it.

Before everyone's eyes, a passage with a radius of five meters appeared. As the passage appeared, the battle qi energy quickly solidified the surrounding yellow sand to prevent it from covering the passage again.

After an unknown amount of time, the elder surnamed Zhang seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly stood up and addressed the crowd.

"Gentlemen, the passage has been opened. Please follow me!"

As Elder Zhang finished speaking, earthen-yellow battle aura wings unfurled behind him, somewhat resembling the vast expanse of yellow sand.

Seeing that Elder Zhang had already entered, Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances and, without further delay, unfolded their battle qi wings and flew into the passage.

Sensing the darkness within the passage, Lin Feng conjured a pale blue flame in his palm, dispelling the gloom. Seeing this, Hai Bodong couldn't help but secretly admire him, "Truly a master of alchemy!"

Although the group did not fly at full speed because they were unsure of the dangers ahead, they still reached the underground after about 15 minutes.

Upon reaching the bottom, towering magma came into view. The boiling magma, in Lin Feng and the others' perception, was something even a Great Dou Master-level Dou Qi armor would find difficult to withstand.

If you fall into it, you will evaporate into a cloud of air in no time.

"Master Lin Feng, what should we do next?"

After everyone settled down, they looked at the identical lava fields and didn't know what to do. At this moment, Hai Bodong spoke up and voiced everyone's doubts.

"Please wait here for a moment while I go down to investigate."

When the two-headed fire python, which he expected to appear, failed to materialize, Lin Feng already knew that the strange fire was probably not present here. However, sensing the dense fire-attribute aura, Lin Feng didn't overlook the possibility of a spiritual object existing there.

His fighting spirit surged forth, transforming into a Five Elements Barrier that enveloped him. Fighting spirit wings rose from his back, and he leaped into the lava.

Lin Feng didn't even glance at the scorching crimson magma before him, even though the Five Elements Technique was powerful enough to sustain his battle qi recovery in this magma-filled land. However, in this unfamiliar place, Lin Feng didn't intend to linger for even a moment, lest he encounter any unseen dangers.

There are always some strange things in this world that can evade the perception of soul power, so Lin Feng dared not be careless.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng sensed that the color of the magma was gradually deepening. The scorching temperature made it difficult for even an ordinary Dou Ling to survive there. Suddenly, a massive burst of fire-attribute energy appeared.

"So that's it, a fire-attribute celestial spirit—the Earth Core Flame Spirit!"

Standing before a flowing liquid, to the naked eye it appeared no different in color from the surrounding magma. However, in Lin Feng's perception, the energy it emitted was comparable to that of a peak Dou Wang expert.

With such a rare and precious object right before his eyes, Lin Feng did not let his guard down. Every rare and precious treasure has a guardian, and there might be a magical beast similar to the fire python here as well.

As time passed, Lin Feng's expression gradually changed, becoming somewhat embarrassed. He took a few steps forward, took out a jade bottle, and collected the Earth Core Flame Spirit, leaving only a trace as the source of regeneration.

As for the saying that rare and precious materials must be protected by something, who said that? Anyway, there's no one here, so who can prove it?

"Pop"

A sound breaking through the water drew the attention of Hai Bodong and Vice Dean Hu Qian. Their usual mutual flattery stopped, and they both looked at Lin Feng, their meaning self-evident.

Lin Feng shook his head, and upon seeing this, Hai Bodong's gaze became serious.

"It seems we need to venture deeper into the desert and approach the Snake-People's territory!"
