Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 55 Flame Witch

All three possessed mental abilities, allowing them to traverse the Sand River unimpeded. Once Ye Xinxia's magical energy was exhausted, Ding Yumin would take over.

"Brother Xiao Yu, why are you stopping?"

Seeing the wolf king stop halfway, Leng Lingling looked at Cheng Xiaoyu in confusion, even though they were only a kilometer away from leaving.

With a thought, Cheng Xiaoyu summoned a wisp of white sand that floated in front of him. He reached out and touched it, feeling its scalding heat.

"Do you remember the Heavenly Fire Tribulation your grandfather mentioned? The temperature ahead is getting higher and higher. I feel that we are not far from the fire tribulation. Just in case, let's not go over there yet."

He pondered for a moment, looked at Ding Yumin, and asked.

"Sister Yumian, how much longer can your spiritual cultivation last?"

"Don't worry, I can hold out for as long as I want. This little thing won't drain my magic power."

Ding Yumin shook her head confidently. As long as she let out the thought that she didn't want anyone to get close, those white sand demon soldiers would obediently stay in the sand.

The three women agreed with Cheng Xiaoyu's wariness and continued to trust his judgment.

After waiting for about half a day, the Heavenly Fire Calamity appeared as expected, and a large area of ​​flames indeed burned in the northern corner of the Scorching Plains.

The flames were as large as mountains and as vast as the sea. At first, they were on the distant horizon, so they appeared to be nothing more than a cluster of firelight, like waves.

But when they swallowed the horizon and surged toward them with overwhelming force, they suddenly realized just how astonishing that cluster of fire truly was!

I don't know how many kilometers away it is, but it should still be far away for the time being. However, the scorching heat wave has already hit us, making our mouths dry.

If something is far away but still occupies the entire field of vision, it means that when that thing actually arrives at your location, it is dozens of times larger than it appears.

At this moment, the rolling flames on the horizon have already formed a majestic mountain range. Once they roll over here, it will surely be the most terrifying fire calamity!

Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu and his companions had already moved far away from the fire. Watching the demon that had fallen to its tail burn to ashes, they couldn't help but feel glad that they had left earlier.

The arrival of the fire calamity brought immense disaster, but that was only true for ordinary demons.

In the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, many special magic stones, plants, spirit seeds, and medicinal herbs all require the absorption of energy.

These are all resources nurtured by heaven and earth, and the heavenly tribulation fire just now was a kind of energy from nature.

This enormous energy is not a disaster for these special items; rather, it is a timely help.

This replenishes the energy that is depleted within them, and those with abundant energy are further sublimated by this energy of heaven and earth, transforming into true natural treasures.

Other resources are uncertain, but the probability of fire-type spirit seeds appearing is extremely high. There might be many appearing at once, and even just one could be auctioned for over 20 million.

"Wow, that looks like a fire-type spirit seed!"

Ye Xinxia immediately spotted a pit in front of her, in which lay a pale yellow fire-type spirit seed.

After being ravaged by fire, the northern corner of Zhuoyuan has been transformed into a treasure trove, to the point where you can find fragments of spirit seeds every few steps.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't have much time to search for resources, so he simply summoned the Shadow Legion and let them go out and collect all the good stuff on their own. He was more concerned about the elemental creature named Yan Ji.

Magnifying his senses, he quickly found a target. Seeing groups of shadow soldiers leaving like on an autumn outing, he immediately switched his mount to a shadow dragon.

Leng Lingling was very curious about the Shadow Dragon, and felt excited and thrilled in the sky.

The blazing sun hangs high in the center of the northern corner of this scorching plain, which resembles a blazing brazier, and the only towering mountain in the plain is the closest point to the sun.

The four of them rode the Shadow Dragon and flew to the top of Fire Pillar Mountain, finally getting a clear view of its entirety.

There were hardly any living things on the mountaintop, but some plants that needed to be irrigated by intense heat were growing vigorously, almost covering the entire flat-topped mountain.

Their crimson hue resembles the dense carpet of autumn maple leaves, and under the blazing sun, they appear as if they are burning fiercely.

When the red leaves fall, they resemble candle flames, slowly drifting down from mid-air. If a strong gust of wind sweeps through, the air is adorned with these fluttering candle flames, creating an extremely beautiful scene!

"The view from the mountaintop is so beautiful!"

Compared to the others, Ding Yumin and Ye Xinxia were more concerned about this scenery.

The Fire Cloud Forest may be vast, but it is ultimately located on the top of a mountain, and it doesn't take long to cross it.

Soon, the Shadow Dragon reached the edge of the Fire Forest, where a raised rocky slope appeared, and at the very top of the slope stood a tall tree completely different from the Fire Cloud Tree.

The tall trees have no leaves, only countless winding branches, so even without leaves they still look graceful and lush.

Landing steadily in front of the tree, Cheng Xiaoyu retracted the Shadow Dragon and looked towards the tree trunk.

A graceful figure in fiery red slowly emerged from behind the Starry Sky Tree.

This fiery red figure was entirely composed of flames, and the outline of facial features could barely be seen on her face burning with flames.

Moreover, her height and figure are very close to that of a woman, and she has a graceful figure that outlines a beautiful curve.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu's pupils shrank. Could this creature in front of him be Yan Ji?

"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm."

Ding Yumin could sense the fire witch's wariness, so she slowly stepped forward, exuding a benevolent aura.

As if sensing goodwill, the Flame Witch lowered her guard. She didn't know why, but suddenly felt that the people in front of her were very friendly.

【You are—hmm?】

A clear and melodious voice rang out, and the Flame Witch was slightly taken aback, surprised that she could speak.

[Can I speak now?!]

"Yes, this is one of my abilities."

Cheng Xiaoyu stepped forward and carefully examined the Flame Witch, then asked.

"Excuse me—are you Flame Princess?"

Upon hearing this, the Flame Witch shook her head, stroked a fruit in her hand, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu had a general idea in mind, but he did not choose to ask.

The Flame Witch walked to the tree and carefully placed the Fire Calamity Fruit on the treetop.

When will Flame Princess be born?

Upon hearing this question, she shook her head.

I'm not sure of the exact time, but it should mature in a few days after surviving the heavenly tribulation fire.

Seeing the Flame Witch carefully tending to the fruit, Ding Yumin walked to the group and said softly.

"She's neither a demon nor a human, and she gives me a strange feeling. She shouldn't be Yan Ji."

Leng Lingling nodded, expressing her opinion.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, that fruit is the real Flame Princess."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the figure of the Flame Witch and said.

"Alright, let's set up camp here for now. Actually, I'm quite curious about what the real Flame Princess looks like."

No one had any objections to this, but Ding Yumin and Ye Xinxia wanted to go outside for a walk, and Leng Lingling didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so Cheng Xiaoyu let them go.

Anyway, Sister Yumian is very powerful, and besides, her sister has arranged for Shadow Demons in her shadow, so they can be protected if there is any danger.

As night fell, the Fire Cloud Forest became even more beautiful, filled with fiery red light.

The Fire Calamity Fruit was already dazzling, and now, with countless stars surrounding it, it looks even more outstanding.

Cheng Xiaoyu sat beneath the giant Star Tree, gazing at the brilliant night sky and the boundless, scorching plains. A solitary flame witch dwelled there.

Watching Jiang Feng carefully tending to the Fire Calamity Fruit on the Star Language Tree, and seeing her back as she had lived for countless years, Cheng Xiaoyu remained silent for a moment before asking softly.

"Are you worth it?"

Upon hearing this, the Flame Witch slowly turned her head, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with deep eyes, then looked at the Fire Calamity Fruit gently and nodded.

【worth.】

His tone was gentle, yet it was firm and resolute.

"You shouldn't be a demon, or rather, you weren't a demon before. Can you tell me your story?"

'

Cheng Xiaoyu also possesses the Mind-Body-Spirit attribute, so communicating with the Flame Witch is not a problem.

Upon hearing these words, the Flame Witch stared at Cheng Xiaoyu with a complex expression, as if her thoughts had been pulled back to the past.

This is a very boring story.

"Every story deserves attention."

【Thanks.】
