Chapter 78 Treasures Everywhere
No one knows how long they ran before the mountain-like flames slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I want to go back. This place is too dangerous." Zhao Manyan couldn't help but have second thoughts.
"Yes, if we encounter another overwhelming fire, we'll be burned to ashes," Zhang Xiaohou said, still shaken.
Mo Fan, the initiator of this operation, also felt that the trip was too dangerous, and he might lose his life here.
Seeing that someone was having second thoughts, Zhao Chenying said, "I heard that this kind of fire calamity only occurs once every few years in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, and the scale of the past has never been as large as it is now."
"Our survival of this fire calamity means our journey ahead is safe. Most importantly, the fire's baptism of the North Corner of the Scorching Plains has either annihilated or driven away all life forms that weren't truly of fire blood. And after this baptism, the North Corner of the Scorching Plains may actually give birth to even more rare and precious treasures!"
All eyes immediately fell on Zhao Chenying, their eyes filled with doubt.
Mo Fan only managed to gather information about Zhuoyuan North Corner through the Secret Scroll; actually, not many people knew anything about Zhuoyuan North Corner.
As a mobile library, Lingling can access most information from the laptop in her hand.
Moreover, Lingling is determined to collect the most comprehensive information on demons and forbidden areas in the world, and she saves anything new she learns on her computer.
"Why are you all looking at me like that... I must have done my homework before coming here." Zhao Chenying was clearly not a scheming girl, and she felt a little guilty after being stared at like that.
"Someone from our Zhao family should have been here before," Zhao Manyan explained to his cousin.
"You just said that there will be more rare and precious materials after the baptism of fire?" Lingling asked.
Zhao Chenying hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"The fire calamity will make this northern corner of the Scorched Plains fertile again. If nothing unexpected happens, once the outside world learns that the northern corner of the Scorched Plains has just experienced a huge fire calamity, it won't be long before knowledgeable mages come here to search for treasures. It is precisely because of this that our predecessors were not very willing to spread the word about the existence of the fire calamity," Zhao Chenying said.
As soon as the fire disaster occurred, all forces were already stirring.
The people far away at the Sand River were unaware that a large group of people was heading there.
They didn't care about these things now, because a sense of unease was rising in the Sha Wang River. If they didn't leave the Sha Wang River, even if Xin Xia had a mental connection, it would be meaningless.
Although Lu Jie could use his divine power to help everyone escape, he didn't want to go back empty-handed.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Zhao Manyan cursed anxiously.
"Decide quickly whether to go back or continue on this path!" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"In that case, let's continue into Zhuoyuan!" Lu Jie said.
"Alright, hopefully we won't encounter anything like a fire calamity again," Mo Fan said.
"Don't worry, the fire calamity will never happen twice in one year!" Zhao Chenying said to everyone with certainty.
Now that things had come to this, everyone ran back in the direction they had just come from.
Fortunately, they didn't run too far, and soon the bare rocks and gravel of the northern corner of Zhuoyuan came into view.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, a shocking pile of bones lay on the bank like a small mountain!
Everyone clearly remembered that when they left, the group of warrior-level armored beasts were all wandering around this area.
The piles of bones indicate that they had just been engulfed by the fire, with no chance to struggle.
"I'm speechless. If I had known this place was this scary, I wouldn't have come!" Zhao Manyan said fiercely to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan shrugged. "You're already here, you can't just give up halfway, can you?"
These armored beasts were as powerful as an army, and even they were burned to a pile of bones in an instant by the fire, which shows just how terrifying the fire was!
"Stop nagging. We're already here, so let's loot as much treasure as possible. Don't say I'm not being fair, I'll take a little less of the treasures we find, okay?" Mo Fan said.
"Go to hell! If I, Zhao Manyan, ever go to a dangerous place like this with you again, I'll change my surname to yours!" Zhao Manyan cursed.
"Stop arguing. There will definitely be a lot of rare and precious materials after the fire calamity. Spirit seeds won't be a problem. Let's quickly loot a bunch before the others arrive," Lingling said.
The Scorching Plains have just experienced a fire calamity, and there are fragments of spirit seeds everywhere. You might even encounter a top-grade spirit seed.
"Then what are you arguing about here? Let's get going!" Although Zhao Manyan was afraid of death, he was also a greedy guy, it was in the genes of his Zhao family!
Lu Jie silently retreated behind the crowd and quietly summoned ten wooden clones, sending them to search for the treasure in the distance.
It's best not to have too many clones, lest they be discovered.
…………
With a hint of anticipation, the group headed deeper into the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. As soon as they entered, they could feel that the land had become much quieter, and there were hardly any demons roaming around anymore.
After walking for only a few minutes, each of them found several fragments of spirit seeds.
The market price of spirit seed fragments is generally between 30 and 80. Because Zhuoyuan has just experienced a fire calamity, the spirit seed fragments they have collected are of good quality and can basically be sold for 50!
"Don't waste time on these little things. There are definitely better things deeper in. We're the first group to enter here, so let's hurry up and find those more valuable treasures!" Lingling said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense, so they continued deeper into the Zhuoyuan Plain.
Sure enough, on their way forward, there was a large pit containing a top-quality fire seed.
However, this spark is very useful for blacksmiths, but it wouldn't be of much use to mages if they absorbed it.
After walking a few more kilometers, Lingling took out her element detector.
"Put these elemental detectors here. There aren't many demons around, so we can detect things much farther away," Lingling said.
After receiving the data from the element detector, Lingling directed everyone to move forward.
Everyone could clearly feel the ground beneath their feet getting hotter and hotter, which indicated that there were spiritual beings nearby.
"Monkey, it's up to you now," Lu Jie said.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohou gave an OK sign and then began digging with earth magic.
Before long, a pale yellow spirit seed appeared before everyone's eyes.
"As expected, the scorched plains after the fire are full of treasures!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but sigh. Opportunities always come with dangers.
