With the plants fleeing, the forest became much emptier, and Lin Chen and his group left the area where the forest was located without much effort.

"Could you please stop staring at me like that? It's making me a little creeped out." After walking a short distance, Lin Chen couldn't help but turn around and say to Jiang Shaoxu with a helpless expression.

Ever since Lin Chen unleashed a super flame from the Star Chart, scaring away all the plant life, Jiang Shaoxu's gaze towards Lin Chen has become somewhat strange. It's no longer that alluring, seductive look; instead, she stares straight at Lin Chen, as if trying to see right through him.

"Then tell me, are you a fire-type major or not?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

In fact, Jiang Shaoxu had already decided in her heart that Lin Chen was a fire-type major, but she was very unhappy. She felt that with her looks, and having asked for so long, the answer was right in front of her. Lin Chen should finally tell her the truth and admit that fire was his major.

As a result, Lin Chen was completely unyielding and refused to admit it no matter what, insisting that summoning was his major, which made Jiang Shaoxu even doubt her own appearance.

"Miss Jiang, I've said it eight hundred times already, my major is indeed summoning." Lin Chen pressed his right hand to his forehead, rolled his eyes, and wondered why no one believed him when he told the truth.

"Hmph!" Jiang Shaoxu snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Lin Chen. One day, I will make you tell the truth.

……

The further you go into the Yuanshuo Mountains, the more precipitous the mountains become, and the more lush the forests grow. The journey is a arduous one, involving trekking through mountains and rivers and overcoming numerous obstacles.

Aside from the plant life they encountered earlier, which posed some danger, Lin Chen and his group of twelve had a relatively smooth journey. Apart from a few small-scale attacks from demon lairs, they did not encounter any other major problems.

After traveling for about six or seven days, Lin Chen and his group finally reached the Fire Dragon Valley, where only one mountain ridge remained.

The mountain range stretched for dozens of miles. When Lin Chen and his group climbed to the top of the mountain, they found themselves standing on the edge of a cliff. About a kilometer in front of them was another steep cliff.

"This is Fire Dragon Valley. This valley is too small," Dongfang Xiang said.

"It's not small anymore." Li Yin chuckled, and then explained to everyone: "The further you go in the canyon, the closer the two sides get to each other. About ten miles away from where we are, the cliffs on both sides completely merge together."

"Moreover, the cliff face is irregular downwards. In some places, the cliffs get closer together as you go down, but in most places, the distance between the two cliffs increases as you go down. At the very bottom, the distance between the cliffs can be as far as ten miles. If it weren't for the cliffs above blocking the way, this shouldn't be called a valley, but a basin or a plain."

Lin Chen approached the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to find that the middle of the canyon was shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to make out anything in the fog.

"Isn't it supposed to be a pressure? I don't feel it at all. It's no different from usual. And this valley is so deep, how are we going to get down? Could it be that the seniors are all high-level wind-element mages who can carry us down?" Lin Chen asked. The other juniors nodded in agreement, indicating that they had the same question.

"The peak of this valley doesn't belong to the Fire Dragon Valley, so of course you can't sense the pressure there. The Fire Dragon Valley is at the very bottom," Li Yin replied. "However, you guessed one thing correctly: all the high-level mages who came this time have a wind element in their magic."

"Are we really going to fly down? This valley is unfathomably deep and visibility is poor, it's very dangerous," asked Bai Ziming, a high-level mage.

He knew that this exploration required high-level mages to participate, at least those with high-level wind magic. At the time, he found it strange that Fire Dragon Valley required fire magic.

Now it seems that it really is because it needs to rely on the wind to fly down.

"Flying? You'd better not even think about it. The closer you get to the valley, the more you'll feel the oppressive force of the cliff. It might crush your Wind Wings and you'll fall straight down, turning into a bloody pulp. Besides, there are strong winds that occasionally blow through the valley, making it impossible for anyone to fly down from the top," Li Yin replied.

"If we're not going to fly down, how are we going to get down?"

Professor Gu Jing frowned. He did indeed have wind element, but it was just a coincidence. He had previously thought that Fire Dragon Valley was on a plain, but he did not expect it to be at the bottom of a canyon.

"That's why our Hunter Alliance limits the number of participants," Li Yin said, flipping his right hand upwards to reveal an exquisite array plate. "This is a teleportation array plate made by our Hunter Alliance that can perform short-distance spatial teleportation, with a maximum of twelve people teleported at a time."

As Li Yin spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "As for why a wind mage is needed, it's because the maker's skill level is limited. The other side of the array plate was placed on a protruding platform on the cliff by that super-level mage. If we want to continue, we can only rely on the Wings of Wind."

"Wasn't it said that the pressure below was very strong and would crush the Wind Wings? Why do we need to use the Wind Wings now?" Everyone present immediately realized the problem.

"The pressure appears suddenly, flying down from above. It's easy to be affected by the sudden pressure, but if you're under it for a while, I'm sure you can all hold out for a period of time without any problems," Li Yin explained.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem," Professor Gu Jing said, and the other high-level mages nodded in agreement.

Having already trekked for a day, and knowing that the Fire Dragon Valley might be even more dangerous than before, Lin Chen and his group did not set off immediately. Instead, they went to a location a little further away from the cliff to rest for the night before continuing their journey.

The next day, early morning.

Everyone gathered again on the cliff above Fire Dragon Valley. Li Yin took out the teleportation array plate, found a secluded spot to hide it, placed several high-quality magic stones on it, and then activated the teleportation array plate.

A flash of silver light appeared, and the twelve people standing around the teleportation array instantly disappeared.

After a brief period of weightlessness and dizziness, when Lin Chen and the others opened their eyes again, they found themselves on a protruding platform on the cliff face.

Standing on the platform, everyone indeed felt a distinct pressure. Although it wasn't particularly strong, it constantly enveloped them. This feeling was like wearing wet clothes—not very impactful, but very uncomfortable and unsettling.

After confirming that the pressure had no effect on them, the group went to the edge of the platform and looked down. They found that the platform was only about twenty stories high above the ground, and there was only a wisp of white mist drifting by from time to time, but it did not have much of an impact.

The group then led their respective factions down the mountain, while Jiang Shaoxu naturally followed Lin Chen and was taken down by Professor Gu Jing, which further fueled the dissatisfaction of the other young people.
