Wizard's Journey

Chapter 251 Fire Crystal World

Five years later.

An endless expanse of shadowy clouds has replaced the once vast, sunlit lands of this world. Although the area has expanded many times over, the dominant rules of this world have changed.

The most striking feature is the cluster of volcanoes that rise abruptly or stretch across the land, no longer belching thick black smoke, but instead slowly flowing with golden lava, which converges into streams.

The once lush and fleshy plants that once covered the Shadowlands are now rarely seen; instead, fiery creatures have begun to proliferate.

High-purity flame essence stones are found all around the lava lake.

From the perspective of the Witcher Expedition's development, the world's main resource, Fire Crystal, is not only abundant but also extremely easy to mine, making it a world of considerable strategic value.

Even some relatively rare resources have considerable research value.

It's time to rename the Shadow Mystery World to the Fire Crystal World.

In the sky, the Ice Crystal Phoenix spread its wings and soared, standing out in this fiery world. Due to its lava core, the Green Flame Giant carried the aura of a lava giant, and fearing a conflict with the lava giant, it was not summoned.

"It's over there!"

Beside Millie and Green were more than ten other witch hunters, one of whom was pointing at an inconspicuous dot on the distant horizon and shouting loudly.

Behind this group of demon hunter wizards, hundreds of lava giants and over a thousand fire-element creatures followed closely, their flames stretching as far as the eye could see.

As the group of witch hunters and lava creatures drew closer, it became clear that the disguised hill was indeed the entrance to a cave in a camphor tree.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

Lava giants and fire creatures fell one after another, causing the earth to tremble.

These lava giants varied in size, with the tallest reaching over ten meters and the shortest only two or three meters. They were below the standard for first-level creatures, but were still much larger than the wizards.

"Smash those Amonroes who only know how to hide underground!"

The lava giant leader cursed in a low voice. Although the number of Amonro had been greatly reduced after the Cataclysm, and the Enigma Amonro could no longer use the Enigma Sealing ability except in very special places, fighting the Amonro race in the underground Zhangma Tree would still result in heavy casualties.

Deep beneath some of the camphor trees, remnants of the Shadow Mystery Rules remain. With these, the Mystery Amonro can cast a Mystery Sealing Technique, enough to make the Lava Giant feel a great threat.

Suddenly, Green opened a dimensional gap and took out more than a hundred bottles of Zhangma Free Liquid. This was a wondrous substance that the space fortress had cultivated in large quantities based on the Zhangma insect specimens that Green had obtained. It allowed creatures coated with Zhangma Free Liquid to move freely within the fleshy barrier of the Zhangma tree.

Because of this contribution, Green has already been granted a quota for the third-level honor medal, and is just waiting to return to the Wizarding World after the Demon Hunt to receive the honor medal from the Holy Tower.

After distributing these free-flowing cyclops fluids to the creatures of the Fire Domain, Grimm said, "These casualties are unavoidable for the revival of the Lava Giant race."

The lava giants and fire creatures were clearly no strangers to Zhangma Free Liquid, and they didn't hesitate to spray it on their bodies.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar...

After a series of rousing battle roars, one after another, these fire-wild creatures charged into the entrance of the camphor tree cave, and in the blink of an eye, only a dozen or so demon hunter wizards of various shapes and sizes remained on the ground.

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's eyes remained indifferent. After a long while, he pointed towards the cave entrance and flew inside with the other demon hunter wizards.

Because of his contact with the Great Tomb of the Stigmata Wizard and his Level 3 Honor Medal registration, Green was recorded in the Space Fortress Operations Command and was directly contacted by the Crystal Ball, whereupon he was assigned the mission to wipe out Amonro's lair.

Over the years, Green has taken on this kind of task no less than fifteen times, and has gained a wealth of experience in handling it.

In general, since the Great Cataclysm, missions to wipe out Amonro's lair have been happening almost daily, making them the most routine demon-hunting missions issued by the Space Council.

This is a golden opportunity for the witch hunters to earn witch spirits as a reward for their missions and to plunder world resources. All the witch hunters have already mobilized.

A catastrophe refers to a drastic change in the world's overall environment that causes overall chaos and extinction of organisms, thereby affecting the distribution of food chains over a wide range.

Within this wondrous world of rules, the so-called catastrophe was not caused by powerful beings from other worlds, but rather by a unique set of operating rules inherent within this world itself.

The Shadow Cataclysm and the Sun Cataclysm constitute a cycle, with numerous organisms from two different systems endlessly regenerating.

When one species becomes powerful enough to potentially transcend the limitations of the world, it marks the beginning of the rise of another species.

Without breaking through the inherent limitations of this world's rules, neither Amon-Roh nor the Lava Giant could possibly embark on the path to a civilized world.

It is precisely because of this that Mount Nine Melts is seen by many who point at the Giant of Faces as the hope for revival.

According to historical patterns, just like the ancient lava giants, the defeat and demise of Amonro is irreversible.

…………

three days later.

Beneath the Zhangma Tree, the barrier of the Zhangma Tree was partially damaged by continuous battles, causing the underground space to collapse. A huge amount of rocks temporarily blocked the last tunnel, where the last group of Amonro were hiding.

Creak, creak, creak...

The lava giant leader was holding a golden Amonro. Amonro was extremely resistant to fire. Even when burned by the flames on the lava giant's hand, he would not die instantly. Instead, he struggled and screamed as he entered the lava giant's huge mouth, where he was chewed into mincemeat and swallowed.

Amonro is the most delicious food among the lava giants.

"My lord wizard, I think the last mystery was deliberately created by blocking this passage so that Amonro could escape from somewhere else. I'll dig through these stones now."

After saying that, the lava giant waved his hand, and a large number of fire-element creatures surged forward and began to dig open the boulder.

Green nodded, ignoring the lava giant leader behind him who had a blind worship of wizards, and said calmly, "We'll handle Amonro inside in a bit. The slaves on the fortress are short of food."

Green made up an excuse and said that.

In reality, this is an unspoken rule among witch hunters: as the witch hunt nears its end, they will inevitably capture some native slaves and bring them back to the wizarding world to sell, which is a way for witch hunters to make extra money.

"Yes, yes."

The lava giant gave a humble, cruel smile, showing even greater respect for these mysterious and powerful wizards who were less than two meters tall.

After a few hourglasses.

As the collapsed tunnel was reopened, Grimm led a group of demon hunters into it, rushing in without hesitation. After a short while, violent energy fluctuations erupted from inside the tunnel, gradually subsiding.

The main force of Amonro's resistance had already been wiped out by the Lava Giants, and the remaining weak Amonro were nothing to the Witcher Wizard.

After a while, each witcher carried a huge cage filled with Amonro, tossed it to the massive lava giant, and left the underground space on their own.

Millie remained silent, quietly waiting for Green, the last of the fire-evolved creatures to leave.

After carefully recording the mission process with the crystal ball in hand, Grimm addressed the group of respectfully waiting lava creatures: "Mission complete."

Rumble!

Moments later, the lava giants who had left the Zhangma tree leveled the entrance to the Zhangma tree on the ground, sealed it with huge rocks, and flew away into the distance.
