Chapter 265 The Scorched Plains North Corner After the Fire Calamity
"In the past, the North Corner of Zhuoyuan has never experienced a fire calamity of this scale. Surviving this fire calamity means we will be very safe from now on. Most importantly, this fire calamity has cleansed the North Corner of Zhuoyuan. It has killed or driven away all the creatures on the North Corner of Zhuoyuan that are not true fire bloodlines. After this cleansing, the North Corner of Zhuoyuan will give birth to more rare and precious treasures," Chen Ying said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan stopped arguing and waited for Chen Ying to continue. Although they had gathered a lot of information about Zhuoyuan North Corner through the Secret Scroll before coming, they knew very little about the Fire Calamity.
Anyone who has met Lingling knows that the little girl is practically a library. Most information can be found on her laptop. In order to investigate the Crimson Soul, Lingling is determined to collect the most complete information on demons and forbidden areas in the world. Whenever she gets any new or interesting information, she saves it to her computer.
However, even Lingling didn't know about the Fire Calamity in the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, but Chenying knew better than her how to avoid arousing suspicion from others. And if Jiang Han hadn't suddenly thought of the name Fire Calamity when he saw it coming, he probably wouldn't have known either.
Jiang Han looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile, "You seem to know a lot about Zhuoyuan North Corner, you even know about the Fire Calamity."
"I...I'm here to train, so I definitely need to do some preparation," Chen Ying stammered.
Chen Ying wasn't a particularly scheming girl, and she felt somewhat guilty under the gazes of Jiang Han and the others. Although Zhao Manyan also had some doubts about his cousin, he still spoke up to explain, "Perhaps someone from our Zhao family has been here."
"You just said that this land will give birth to even more treasures after the fire calamity, is that really true?" Lingling asked, not wanting to delay their mission.
Chen Ying hesitated for a moment but nodded, then added, "The fire calamity will make this northern corner of the Scorched Plains fertile again, so if nothing unexpected happens, once the outside world learns that the northern corner of the Scorched Plains has experienced a huge fire calamity, it won't be long before countless mages who have received the news come here to search for treasures again."
"That's why many hunters who have been to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan don't spread the news about the fire calamity."
Just as Chen Ying said, the fire calamity was indeed like the wrath of life descending upon the world. In addition to the unparalleled magnificence of nature, the flames also carried a strong aura of death. However, such a huge force sweeping across this place also meant that energy was poured into this land that was like a blazing furnace.
Many special plants, magic stones, spirit seeds, and elemental springs absorb energy and are nurtured by the power of heaven and earth. A fire calamity might be a terrible disaster for non-fire life forms inhabiting this place, but to these special resources, it is a gift from nature, like timely rain and dew!
Cultivation resources are incredibly expensive for mages, and the North Corner of the Scorched Plains, having survived the baptism of fire, can now be described as a land overflowing with gold.
After Lin Han's reminder, Mo Fan became more cautious, while Lingling, that little girl, had long harbored suspicions about Chen Ying.
"Never mind all that. Let's just do what Chenying said and try to loot as much good stuff as possible. Otherwise, how can we repay those who risked their lives to come here? You agree, Lao Zhao," Mo Fan said with a smile.
"Mo Fan, what do you mean?" Zhao Manyan said angrily.
"You two, stop arguing." Lingling glared impatiently at Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, then continued, "Let's stick to our original plan for now and try to find as many fire-type spirit seeds as possible nearby."
"However, according to what Chenying just said, this place may give birth to more treasures after the fire calamity. It is likely that a lot of fire-type spirit seeds will be born here, but this will make our hope of finding Yan Ji even more remote."
"I don't think this is bad news at all. Why do we have to find Yan Ji?" Xin Xia couldn't help but say.
"Um, I'm just missing a contracted beast, aren't I?" Mo Fan said weakly.
"Are you stupid? Even if you didn't find Yan Ji, if you got a few spirit seeds or other rare fire-attribute cultivation resources in the northern corner of the Scorching Plains, couldn't you exchange them for a better contracted beast?" Jiang Han couldn't help but complain.
"Yeah, are you stupid? What kind of plan are you making? Just go pick up some money!" Zhao Manyan said excitedly.
Although Zhao Manyan was afraid of death, he was also greedy for money. He was willing to take some risks if he could gain a considerable benefit.
Next, the group headed deeper into the northern corner of Zhuoyuan with anticipation. After being baptized by the fire, the northern corner of Zhuoyuan was noticeably quieter, and there were no longer any wandering demons.
Before he had walked more than a few hundred meters, Mo Fan, that sharp-eyed fellow, noticed a number of spirit seed fragments that were almost exposed on the ground. There were about four or five spirit seed fragments. If he remembered correctly, the price of such spirit seed fragments ranged from 30 to 80. If he was lucky, he could make a lot of money during this trip to the Scorching Plains.
"Let's collect as many resources as possible, and then divide the spoils slowly after we leave this place." After saying that, Mo Fan rushed off to collect the spirit seed fragments.
"Damn it, Mo Fan, don't even think about keeping the spirit seed fragment for yourself." Zhao Manyan rushed over right after him.
Lingling shook her head helplessly as she watched Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan rush out, then said, "The spirit seed fragments are good, but I think there are more valuable things here. Don't be like those two guys, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Let's take advantage of the fact that other exploration teams haven't come here yet and try to find more valuable resources. Don't focus on those small things."
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, who were digging for spirit seed fragments in the distance, froze. Damn it, these spirit seed fragments were something that could only be obtained through continuous challenges in the academy's Chinese medicine department, but now this little girl Lingling was saying that spirit seed fragments were trivial things.
However, thinking that there might be many more spirit seeds here, and even things more valuable than spirit seeds, Zhao Manyan stopped what he was doing and quickly ran back, while Mo Fan did not want to give up the exposed spirit seed fragments and directly released the lightning seal to violently blast the spirit seed fragments out.
After all the exposed fragments of the spirit seed were blasted out, Mo Fan quickly picked up the scattered fragments on the ground.
Unlike Zhao Manyan, who was incredibly wealthy, Mo Fan didn't care about the value of spirit seed fragments. Even if the fragments were only worth a small amount, they were still worth hundreds of thousands. He didn't want to give up these fragments worth millions so easily, so he only returned to the group after picking up all the fragments on the ground.
"Mo Fan, you have to give me two of these spirit seed fragments," Zhao Manyan said as he walked over.
"You're dreaming. I dug all of this out with great effort," Mo Fan retorted.
Lingling took out the cone-shaped elemental detector again and said, "You can bury the elemental detector here. There shouldn't be any demons nearby, so we can safely detect a great distance."
