Age of Adepts

It was indeed beyond Greem's expectation that a Tier 2 flame spirit was captured so easily.

But in the next second, the surprise on Greem's face was replaced by a deep terror.

"Drip, warning... Energy disorder signal detected, flame core explosion countdown... 5... 4... 3..."

"Throw...throw it away..."

The terrifying Balrog had a direct spiritual connection with Greem, so when Greem realized something was wrong, the terrifying Balrog had already waved his hand and threw the second-level flame core into the distance with all his strength.

"2……"

"1……"

With the completion of the chip's last countdown, the flame core that flew out 100 meters suddenly vibrated with energy, and then a small, devastating mushroom cloud erupted on the spot.

Such a short period of time was simply not enough for Greem and the terrifying Balrog to teleport out of the influence range of the core self-destruction. Therefore, just after the two of them appeared two hundred meters away with the flame jump, the terrifying flame shock wave had overtaken them.

The witch robe on Greem's body was instantly torn into rags by the wave of flames. The terrifying Balrog turned around and stood in front of Greem, blocking the engulfing flame shock wave with his thick and solid back.

If someone looked down from above the fire forest at this moment, they could clearly see a huge and violent halo of flames quickly sweeping away all matter within a radius of 5 miles. Even those ten-thousand-year-old fire trees with deep roots were directly destroyed by the flame shock wave swirling close to the ground like a simple thatched cottage at this moment.

Horrific mushroom clouds of flames, surging shock waves, destructive waves of flames... The whole scene immediately presented a horrible scene like the end of the world.

If this is the material plane, such a terrifying energy explosion will definitely leave a bottomless fire pit in place, and may even erode through the rock formations, forcing out the magma in the ground, forming a small lava lake.

But this is the Fire Elemental Plane after all, and most of the fire damage is absorbed by the surrounding earth and air. Although the energy wave in the core area of ​​the sacrificial explosion looks devastating and frightening, the energy level will decrease by 1-2 levels every time the flame wave extends outward for a kilometer. When the sea of ​​flames extended to 5 kilometers away, the flame temperature, which was originally as high as 13,000 degrees, had dropped to 2 or 3 degrees.

Such a temperature is already close to the average temperature of the Fire Elemental Plane!

Greem barely stood up straight after the wave of flames subsided. And the body of the terrifying Balrog standing in front of him was tattered, and even the body made up of solid lava boulders and flowing magma also had large areas of defects.

With a click, the terrifying Balrog's body disintegrated, and once again shrank from a 7-meter-tall flame monster into a fist-sized puppet crystal nucleus.

The self-explosion of the second-level flame spirit just now has seriously overdrawn the elemental energy stored in the puppet's crystal nucleus, and the terrifying Balrog can no longer maintain its huge size, and has been beaten back to its original form.

The sound of roaring and roaring in the distance continued, and it was still approaching rapidly.

Greem picked up the puppet crystal core without hesitation, turned around and fled the battle scene.

He quickly ran back to where the Flame Gate was and restored it to a passable size before Greem burrowed in.

Afterwards, this huge gate of light condensed purely by flames quickly collapsed!

A quarter of an hour later, a large group of Burning Flame Spirits followed, and firmly surrounded this piece of grass that still had strange spatial fluctuations.

A moment later, a female flame spirit with a complete human form appeared among the flame spirits.

Following her appearance, all the flame spirits bowed and saluted one after another, even those level 2 flame spirits were no exception.

"Master Mansida, this is where the enemy escaped..." A second-level flame spirit leading the team took a step forward and introduced respectfully.

This newly emerged high-level flame spirit does not have the upper half of the human body and the lower half of the fire cloud like the lower-level companions, but has a complete human female body.

Her body is uneven, and she is covered with a strange crimson battle armor. Her face and facial features are also very distinct, but they are not as delicate and soft as real humans. A head of brown-red long hair hangs loosely behind her, and clusters of beautiful little flames burst out from it from time to time.

"I smell the breath of an evil wizard from another world. It seems that the one who attacked our patrol just now was a wizard from the wizarding world. Now that he has escaped, you don't have to worry about anything. I must monitor all the weak points in the space within a hundred miles, and if I find those evil wizards who dare to sneak over, I will immediately dispatch troops to strangle him!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

As all the flame spirits took orders one after another, the burning flame spirits gathered here began to disperse one after another.

The remaining flame spirits teamed up to set up a warning trap around this weak point in space.

In this way, if any outsiders sneak into the Fire Elemental Plane from here, they will be able to get the news immediately!

…………

Greem, who fled back to the Flame Throne in one breath, was not completely relieved until the Flame Gate completely disappeared.

The brief 'adventure' on the Fire Elemental Plane just now made him deeply understand the horror and horror of the alien world.

Although the Level 2 Burning Flame Spirit has a powerful body, it doesn't have much fighting skills and killing methods. Looking at their fighting methods, they are still so primitive and clumsy. It seems that the fighting between flame creatures relies more on melee combat. And those fire spells are just a means for them to control and wear down the opponent's patience.

However, although their methods are primitive, their tempers are so tyrannical and vicious. Not only are they vicious towards the enemy, but they are equally vicious towards themselves. Once they are defeated and captured, they detonate the flame core directly before losing control of their bodies.

That is the final carrier that carries the core of their consciousness!

Once they blew themselves up, the last trace of their own existence was wiped away. This kind of ruthlessness and determination is absolutely impossible for ordinary people!

Greem stood on the high fire elemental altar for a while, and he was completely relieved when the spatial fluctuations here completely subsided and there were no traces of alien invasion.

Spread out your palms, your left hand is the puppet crystal core that summons the terrifying Balrog, and your right hand is the flame core of three first-level flame spirits. Due to the disparity in rank and the crushing strength, the three tier 1 flame spirits were directly blown up by Greem before they could self-destruct, taking out their cores.

Now that they have fallen into the hands of Greem, even if their soul consciousness is still attached to the core of the flame, they still have no ability to explode themselves!

However, he raised his hand to take a closer look at the puppet's crystal nucleus, and Greem's brows could not help but frown deeply.

Let the chip fully scan the Balrog's puppet crystal nucleus, and finally get more detailed information. If you want to completely repair it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete it in a month.

This trip is not worth the candle!

Obtained three flame cores of the first-level flame spirit, but damaged the second-level terrifying Balrog puppet crystal core. This...is a loss-making business!

No wonder wizards like to go together when exploring other worlds. It turns out that the risks involved are so huge.

Greem shook his head and sighed, he could only turn around and walk out of the secret room.

The next time we explore the Fire Elemental Plane is a month away!

…………

The forest is dense and the giant trees are towering.

A five-person adventure team overcame obstacles and struggled forward in the Black Forest.

The person in charge of opening the way was a bald man with a sturdy physique, wearing a cowhide armor and holding a long-handled sword. He laboriously chopped off the criss-crossing vines, used his huge body to wade out a winding path in the bushes where there was nowhere to stay, and moved forward bit by bit with difficulty.

And behind him, there are four strange figures of different heights, fat and thin, all covered in thick black burqas.

The few people walked forward in silence, except for the panting of the bald man, they could hardly hear other sounds.

"Where have we been? How far is it from that snake bird cliff?"

Suddenly, one of the slenderest black robes in the middle of the line couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Listen to the voice, it is a beautiful and gentle young woman.

"Ai Ke, keep silent! This is the Black Forest, no danger has been found, it's best not to make a sound..." the tallest and burly one among the four black robes scolded in a low voice, although his tone was not harsh but revealed A hint of convincing majesty.

"Okay, Boss Pang, we all know what you are capable of! This is just the edge of the Black Forest, so is there any danger to you?" A black robe walking at the end of the line was obviously overwhelmed by the gloomy and depressing environment in the forest. Driven almost crazy, he took off his hood and breathed in the damp and cold air.

A few of them are wizard apprentices with 'weak' physiques. They would be tired and collapsed if they couldn't even walk half a mile in the black forest wearing those metal armors. Therefore, they who wore light cloth robes could only wear a thick and dense traveler's burqa over the cloth robes in order to prevent the sharp thorns and shrub branches from scratching their skin.

And the most direct consequence of this is that they are almost sweltering to death!

The one called "Boss Pang" is naturally the young Wu Pangtar who is friendly to dark elements.

This time he personally led four close subordinates to the anhinga cliff, naturally for those delicious anhinga eggs. Of course, now is the breeding season for the anhingas to mate. If they can steal one or two more anhinga cubs from their lairs, they will be able to make a lot of money in this business!

However, the snake bird beast is also a quasi-witch-level monster. Once they leak their whereabouts, it will become a little difficult to get out of their bodies.

Therefore, this is one of the most important reasons why Pontar asked the team members to sneak silently!
