It was easy to determine the victor in a battle between high-grade Magi, but it was even more difficult to determine the life and death of the other.
If one did not force the other party into a corner, it would be almost impossible to kill a rank 3 creature.
Therefore, when Grimm, Kyrak, and Unide surrounded the flaming tiger at the same time, it immediately turned tail and ran without hesitation.
If this was the original mine, the three Magi would naturally have the ability to deal with this hateful flaming tiger. However, all the tunnels were filled with thick and tumbling magma. Grimm's speed was not affected, but Kyrak and Unide could only get further and further away.
The three humans and one tiger dashed left and right in the winding tunnels, playing a game of cat and mouse.
Seeing that he could not catch up to the other party, Grimm roared and said in a low voice, "You guys continue chasing, I'll intercept it from the front!"
With that, his flaming body suddenly exploded, and he disappeared.
In front of the entrance of a mine in the distance, a huge amount of fire elements quickly gathered, and Grimm, who had turned into a flaming humanoid, appeared.
Seeing that the path ahead was blocked, the flaming tiger immediately turned around and disappeared into a side tunnel.
Mine number 3 had been excavated by Molten City for over a hundred years. The tunnels inside were as dense as a spider's web, extending in all directions. Although it was usually convenient for the slave miners to enter and leave, it had now become an escape route for the flaming tiger.
Grimm used Flame Leap a few times to block the flaming tiger's path, but due to Kyrak and Unide's delay, it was all for naught.
Originally, Kyrak and Unide were waiting for Wizard Dorian to activate the spell formation and trap the flaming tiger in the tunnel. However, after chasing for a quarter of an hour without any signs of the spell formation being activated, they immediately knew that there was a problem with Dorian.
While chasing, Kyrak tried his best to contact Dorian, but he could not get a response.
After a few times, Witch Yunid was also stirred to the point of anger.
"Grimm, bring me there! We'll split up and intercept … "
They were all rank 3 Magi, but they belonged to different factions, so it was difficult for them to cooperate well.
At this moment, Younide was so angry that she made a request to Grimm. Otherwise, she would never have let an unfamiliar Magus touch her body.
"Got it!"
Grimm agreed. In an instant, elements converged and appeared beside Unide. He grabbed her left arm with one hand and used Flame Jump to appear in front of Flaming Tiger.
As soon as the [Flame Leap] ended, Yunid used her powerful mind power to get rid of the dislocation caused by the teleportation. The white staff in her hand instantly weaved an airtight golden net towards the Flaming Tiger that was rushing towards her.
Flame Tiger Sindar was immediately shocked.
It could clearly sense that the net weaved by the golden threads had a faint aura of planar laws. They looked thin, as if they could tear them apart with a light bump, but Sindar knew that if he were to touch them, he would not be able to escape today.
Stepping on Fire Sprinting, he leaped into the lava and disappeared from where he stood just like Grimm. When it reappeared, it was already behind Grimm and Unide, continuing to run forward.
Even a fire wizard like Grimm could use [Flame Jump], so there was no reason that Flaming Tiger could not!
Damn it …
It was easy to release the golden net, but it was not so easy to retrieve it.
It would take at least two to three seconds for the golden net to return to the staff. During this time, Unide was obviously unable to move.
Grimm could only give up on her and flash to Kyrak's side. He grabbed his body and disappeared again.
The flaming tiger seemed to be on guard against Grimm's continuous leaps and attacks.
As soon as it saw Grimm and Kyrak disappear, it turned around without hesitation. This made Kyrak, who had emerged from the flames, curse.
"Grimm, only you can hold it back now. Don't worry about the two of us. Catch up to it and hold it back. We'll be there soon … "
At this point, Kyrak finally understood what was going on. In such a cruel environment, only Grimm could put up a fight against Flaming Tiger. As for the other Magi, they might not even be able to catch up.
In order to increase Grimm's chances of winning, Kyrak waved his hand, and a dark red ball of light was thrown in front of Grimm.
"This is the map of the underground mine. Hold it back for now …"
Grimm's eyes swept across it, and the A.I. Chip's prompt sounded in his mind.
[Detected data flow interface. After scanning, there are no security issues. Requesting Host's instructions to connect?]
"Connect!"
Grimm held the ball of light to his nose and inhaled. The dark red light instantly entered his body.
In the next second, the dense 3D map of the underground mine of Molten City immediately appeared in his mind.
Got it!
Grimm was overjoyed.
He had been putting on a monkey show with Flaming Tiger Sindar for so long just for this moment.
Without a map of the underground mine, he would not be able to know the exact location of Molten City's resource warehouse.
Mine?
What was there?
Freshly excavated ores that had yet to be refined, slag, raw magic gems, and a large pile of useless trash …
Even if Grimm were to snatch these things back, what use would they be?
Therefore, from the moment they arrived at Molten Fire City, Grim had secretly set his sights on the possible 'resource warehouse' in Molten Fire City!
With such a large underground mine, the ores excavated every day would definitely be piled up like a mountain. Transporting them outside to be refined, refined, and then transporting them back to Molten City for storage was almost impossible.
Thus, there had to be an alchemy laboratory somewhere under Molten City. It was very likely that there were already refined metal ingots stored there.
If the raw ores were just some superficial things, then these refined metal ingots were the real meat of Molten City's heart!
However, Grimm was an outsider. Even if he toured all the famous scenic spots in Molten City, he would not be able to obtain information of this level. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Grimm could not make a move on Freya, so he could only 'force' himself.
As he turned into flames and chased Flaming Tiger Sindar through the tunnels, Grimm waited for the A.I. Chip's analysis.
Since Carlac had handed over the map of the underground mine without any worries, some important information must have been erased from it. However, Grimm did not care. With the A.I. Chip, as long as there were any clues on the map, it would be able to help him find them.
Mines 1 to 4 were densely packed like a spider web on the map. Outside the spider web, there were a few places that led to the upper levels of Molten City. Apart from the passage for the Magi stationed there, there were three more secret tunnels.
The alchemy laboratory had to process a large amount of raw metal every day, so it was definitely not small. Moreover, it had to be fast and convenient, and there was a secret passage leading to the upper levels.
Combining this information with the information he had gathered over the past few days, as well as the map in front of him, it didn't take long for the A.I. Chip to lock onto a blank area on the map.
With this information, Grimm immediately sent a message to Flaming Tiger Sindar, who was in the middle of his pursuit.
Flaming Tiger Sindar immediately turned around and started fighting with Grimm.
Relying on [Flame Leap], the two of them were like two elusive ghosts, darting left and right in the depths of the underground mine. Finally, they reached the place where Flaming Tiger Sindar and Grimm rushed into the sea of lava, fighting as they ran further and further away.
The shockwaves from the depths of the lava almost turned the area upside down.
Carlac and Unide couldn't help but look at each other in dismay when they reached the opening.
Keep chasing? With their speed in the sea of lava, it was impossible for them to catch up to the two 'monsters' fighting. Give up? Grimm was fighting for them, but as the master of Molten City, he had to give up early …
"Lord Unide, I'll have to trouble you to provide support for Grimm. I need to go back and see what's going on with Dorian. There seems to be some problems over there … "Carlac immediately made up his mind," Don't worry, Lord Unide. The thing that Molten City promised you, no matter the outcome of the battle, will be delivered to you! We, Molten City, still have this bit of credibility … "
Since Carlac had already said this much, Unide naturally had no objections.
Moreover, with Grimm holding off the flaming tiger, the risk she had to bear was still within her control. It was worth the risk!
"Alright, don't forget what you said!"
After agreeing to Magus Carlac, the staff in Unide's hand released a golden halo, blocking the lava outside. She then quickly rushed into the depths of the lava sea with this layer of light.
Although she couldn't see anything here, and her power of the will couldn't reach far, she could still follow the traces of the battle from afar.
However, Unbeknownst to her, at this moment, it was no longer Sindar and Grimm who were 'fighting' her in the depths of the lava sea. Instead, it was Sindar and Grimm's flame doppelganger.
She was quite far away anyway, and with Sindar's rank 3 power as a cover, she didn't have to worry that the flame clone would reveal her true rank 2 power.
As for the real Grimm, he had already turned into a ball of flame and sneaked back into the mine. He avoided Unide and Carlac and quickly moved towards the location he had locked onto.
