The Fire Elemental Plane might lack many things, but it did not lack fire.
Grimm's fire elemental form shuttled through the sea of flames. With the Ash Boots, not only did he not lose any energy, he felt energized instead, as if he could swim for an eternity.
However, the A.I. Chip projected a blue countdown on his retina, ticking away at every second.
The satisfaction and indulgence Grimm felt in the sea of flames might be real, but the A.I. Chip's prompt was shocking. If he stayed in the sea of flames for more than an hour, he might be completely assimilated by the fire elemental energy.
At that time, his soul might even deviate, and he would take an irreversible step towards becoming an elemental being!
This was not part of his original plan.
Once he took this step, he could only choose between being a Magus or an elemental being. After becoming an elemental being, he would no longer be repelled by the Fire Elemental Plane. Elemental beings generally had long lives, and there were no natural predators in the plane. As long as Grimm was given enough time, he was confident that he would grow into a mighty Flame Sovereign!
However, once his soul was assimilated by the Fire Elemental Plane, he would lose his identity as a native of the Magus World, drawing a clear line between him and his past life.
His identity as a Magus was extremely important to Grimm's future growth and development!
Grimm knew that the four Elemental Planes supported the four Elemental Lords of the legends. Their strength was said to be at rank 9. If he wanted to make a name for himself in the Elemental Plane, he would have to destroy them.
From this point of view, it seemed that the Magus faction was more conducive to his growth.
Grimm, who had been pondering over this for a long time, was extremely careful and tried his best to maintain his identity as a Magus in the Magus World.
Within the sea of flames, it was impossible to determine the coordinates of the plane. Grimm stepped on the flames and quickly traversed through the sea of flames. When there were only five minutes left on the countdown, he emerged from the sea of flames.
This was a completely unfamiliar area.
Grimm actually saw a simple and unadorned village.
Inside and outside the village, there was an endless stream of flaming creatures with strange bodies of flames. They looked like humans, swaying their flaming bodies and shuttling back and forth in front of the stalls in the market as if they were looking for something.
Elemental beings also had markets and goods to trade? Didn't they never have the concept of personal belongings?
Grimm furrowed his brows and could not help but walk towards the market out of curiosity.
This was an open public market, and there were no guards or managers at all. Those who could enter this place were all fire creatures with advanced intelligence. They were different from the muddle-headed low-level companions that only knew how to rely on their instincts to wander around. Almost all of them had intelligence equivalent to their own strength.
When Grimm turned into a Fire Elemental and barged in, a few high-grade Flame Spirits glanced at him before leaving coldly.
So many level 2 … so many level 3!
Grimm swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. He trembled as he walked past the fiery creatures. This was the first time he was shocked by the power of the Fire Elemental Plane.
In the Sorcerer World, a Grade 3 Sorcerer was the core of the Sorcerer Families. Although there were still Tier 4 Sorcerers above them, they were the ultimate trump cards and powerful existences that rarely interfered in the battles between low-level Sorcerers.
However, in the Fire Elemental Plane, there were as many Tier 1 Creatures as there were hairs on a cow, and Tier 2 Creatures were like dogs. Even Tier 3 Creatures could be seen everywhere. At least in this market that was less than 30 acres wide, Grimm could count no less than five Tier 3 Fire Elemental Creatures.
Their appearance and characteristics made it difficult for Grimm to determine their true identity.
Grimm's eyes slowly swept across the market and found that most of the stalls here were Tier 1 and Tier 2 Creatures. They did not have shops, stalls, or signboards. They just stood casually by the roadside with a few oddly-shaped items in front of them that were hard to identify.
Of course, the items here were all rare Fire Elemental treasures. There were also many unknown items that they had picked up from the corners of the Fire Elemental Plane. Although he did not know the value of these items, the fact that they could survive in the Fire Elemental Plane proved that they were not ordinary items.
However, when Grimm's eyes wandered to the center of the market, he saw some strange creatures that should not have appeared here.
Fire Demon!
It was a Tier 2 Fire Demon with a tall and thin body. Its chest was covered with evil magic tattoos, and a demonic horn grew from the top of its head. It was a Tier 2 Fire Demon with a flaming cape draped over its back.
It was not an Elemental Creature, but an Abyssal Demon.
To be honest, the Balrog that Grimm transformed into was actually a higher form of the Fire Demon!
At this moment, this Tier 2 Fire Demon was like the other Fire Demons, occupying a spot in the center of the market and setting up a small stall. Beside it, Grimm saw Fire Dwarves, Fire Gnomes, and other otherworldly existences.
They seemed to represent a certain faction, and each of them had their own territory and were hawking their wares loudly. The whole market seemed to be very lively because of their presence.
Grimm was slightly surprised, and he could not help but walk towards them.
Dragon Fruit, Flame Flower, Fire Agate, Fire Burning Wood, Fire Essence Iron, Fire Stone, Fire Essence …
Flame Essence?
Grimm's Fire Elemental finally stopped in front of a stall.
As he had just devoured a piece of Flame Essence, Grimm was very familiar with its aura. In this stall, there were three pieces of Flame Essence stacked together, flickering with a strange fiery light.
Grimm raised his head and looked at the stall owner.
It was a seven-meter-tall Flame Giant with a solid body. When it saw Grimm in his Fire Elemental form pacing back and forth in front of his stall, it opened its red Burning Eyes and glanced at Grimm coldly.
Its strength was also at the Tier 2 level!
It could not be helped. In the Elemental Plane, there were too few Tier 1 Elemental Creatures that had high intelligence. Only those with high intelligence had a higher chance of sprouting.
"Little fellow, you can't give me what I want! I advise you to leave! "The Flame Giant said in a low, muffled voice.
It could not be helped. Although Grimm was also at the Tier 2 level, his Fire Elemental was only 3 meters tall. In front of this Flame Giant, he was indeed a little fellow. It was no wonder that he was looked down upon.
"Big guy, didn't your elders tell you that an absolute body doesn't represent an absolute power? You still haven't told me what you want! "Grimm said arrogantly.
After exploring for a while, Grimm had a rough understanding of the temperament of these Fire Elemental Creatures.
To be honest, they were all straightforward and impatient. They would say whatever came to their minds, unlike humans who spoke tactfully. Hence, the Flame Giant's harsh tone did not mean hostility. It was just their way of expressing themselves!
The Flame Giant lowered its body slightly, and like a huge volcano, it sniffed Grimm's body a few times.
"I see … You're not our comrade, but an outsider in disguise. Alright then, maybe you really have what I need! "
Grimm's expression changed slightly. He did not expect the Flame Giant to still be able to sense his presence even after he tried his best to seal it. Moreover, this detestable fellow had a loud voice. His words were like a clap of thunder, causing all the creatures in the market to turn their heads to look in his direction.
"I need the blood of some high-grade Fire Elemental Creatures! It has to be at least Grade 2, and the stronger the better … "The Flame Giant seemed to be roaring as he spoke.
Grimm was stunned at first, but then he understood.
Blood of Fire Elemental Creatures?
The entire Fire Elemental Plane was filled with elemental creatures. They did not even have skin or flesh, so how could they have blood? It was no wonder the Flame Giant was so excited after discovering that he was an outsider.
"Big guy, don't even think about it. How could he possibly have what you want? I think it's better for you to choose our Ground Fire Lizard's blood. If you agree, I can use 30kg of Ground Fire Lizard's blood to exchange for your Flame Essence. How about it, this price is 20% higher than before … "As if it did not want the material it wanted to be snatched away by an outsider, the Fire Giant interrupted loudly from tens of metres away.
"The quality of the Ground Fire Lizards is too poor. With their blood, my children will not be able to gain the favour of the Flame Giant!" The Flame Giant roared loudly with a furious expression.
Grimm was slightly startled, and immediately projected the data from the A.I. Chip in his mind.
The Flame Giant race was one of the most common Fire Elemental Plane creatures, and they had their own unique methods to give birth to their race. It was said that in order to awaken the spirit of a newly born Flame Giant, one had to offer the blood of a Fire Elemental Creature to the Flame Giant race.
This sort of primitive worship of ancestors was common among most Fire Elemental Creatures. The high and mighty Lord of Flames was said to have relied on the worship and worship of billions of Fire Elemental Creatures to become the Elemental Lord that commanded the entire Fire Elemental Plane.
After quickly scanning through the information provided by the A.I. Chip, Grimm immediately understood why the Flame Giant wanted the blood of powerful Fire Elemental Creatures.
"Big guy, perhaps I really do have what you're talking about …" Grimm chuckled, taking out a clay jar the size of a human head. The jar was sealed, and there were sealing runes flashing on it.
"What's this?" The Flame Giant looked down and shook his head, "No matter what you're talking about, this amount is too little. It's not enough for my children to use!"
Grimm did not waste any words, and used his hand to lightly wipe the jar's mouth. The light from the sealing runes gradually faded, and a strange, pungent smell wafted out.
