There were almost no volcanoes in the Qinyin Empire. In the entire Myers Continent, volcanoes were concentrated in Yunliu. Even so, everyone knew how terrifying volcanoes were.
The eruption of a volcano was like a mage releasing fire magic with endless magic strings. No matter what level you were, you wouldn't be able to survive in the volcanic eruption area.
A red air current appeared in the distance, and violently rushed toward the rock crevice where Rex and the others were hiding. Wherever it passed, the huge trees withered and then burned.
Everyone had an abnormally ugly expression, but they were also glad at the same time. The direction that Rex chose was random. If he chose the opposite direction, everyone would be walking toward a huge volcano that was about to erupt.
This half plane was so strange. There was no sign of a volcano eruption before it happened. If he chose the wrong direction, everyone would be dead now. No wonder there weren't any tall plants when they entered the half plane, and only a group of giant mosquitoes were seen among the animals. It wasn't suitable for life at all. The volcano would probably erupt regularly.
The high-level creatures of this half plane were probably already used to it, so they didn't see any other creatures along the way. These creatures had already hidden far away.
In the red air current, most of the plants quickly withered and burned. Only the surface of a few plants quickly petrified, struggling to resist the attack of the red air current.
Neris felt that everything was so familiar. There were many volcanoes in the Demonic Plane, and most of the plants in the Demonic Plane weren't afraid of fire. The plants in this half plane were obviously not as strong as those in the Demonic Plane, but there were many similarities.
Maybe some demon had a whim and sowed the seeds of demonic plants in this half plane.
Without the sun, many demonic plants could rely on absorbing heat or elements to survive. In the demon's cave, many plants were also dark green, purple, and even black.
Under the obstruction of the Crystal City, the red air current couldn't directly attack the dark space. Rex waved his hand and put away the tent. The temperature in the rock crevice had already risen by dozens of degrees. If not for the magic array set up in advance and the high-level magic core embedded, even Rex wouldn't be able to resist the attack of the red air current for a long time.
A mage's magic string was limited, and he couldn't rely on the magic shield to save five companions at the same time.
The temperature was maintained at a very high level, which was just right for everyone to tolerate. The vibration under their feet didn't stop, and the red color had already spread throughout the visible space.
"This place really is hell." Salin broke the silence. He saw that even Shika's expression had changed. He did not want the atmosphere to be so depressing.
"We're lucky. Luckily, my instincts told me to go in this direction," Rex said.
A woman's intuition … was the most unreliable. Salin remembered the resentment left behind by a certain Magic Shooter in a magic notebook, but he did not dare to say it out loud. The facts in front of them proved that a woman's intuition could sometimes save her life.
"If we want to return to the Myers Continent, do we need to go back to the place we came from?" Salin estimated that the magic imprint left by Rex had been destroyed, and asked worriedly.
"No need," Rex replied as he rubbed the God Sieve Ring. She was also very glad that if she didn't want to establish a country, this God Sieve Ring would be taken back, and Genaris would directly kill her with God's Punishment. At that time, the only thing that would come to this Demiplane would probably be her corpse and shattered soul.
The red stream of air was blocked by the Crystal City and the high temperature was reduced by the Dark Space. The six of them could only hide in the cracks of the rocks and endure the natural power wreaking havoc in the Demiplane.
Rex had the least time to rest. She had to release the Breeze Spell every hour to replace the dirty air in the Dark Space. Nothing could be seen outside the cracks of the rocks, except for the crimson color and the whimpering sound of the air. The earth shook for more than 70 hours before it gradually calmed down.
The red stream of air faded, but the temperature outside was still so high that it was unbearable. Salin had vaguely touched the threshold of level-3, but this threshold was only getting closer and closer, and could not be crossed.
After more than half a month, the temperature outside finally dropped to a tolerable level. Rex had already changed her magic core six times. Now that the danger had passed, no one dared to leave. On the Myers Continent, the eruption of the volcano was intermittent. If the volcano erupted again right after they left, no one could guarantee that they could survive.
After another half a month, Rex finally took down the two metal discs that maintained the Dark Space.
"Let's continue north. This place is too close to the volcano." Rex asked for everyone's opinion, and no one objected. This was only the periphery of the volcanic eruption. There was no volcanic dust or volcanic rocks falling from the sky. Just the red stream of air was enough to make people unable to survive. If there was a new volcano nearby, everyone would be dead.
The team continued north. Salin stopped Rex from adding the Wind Spell to him. He chanted a long incantation in the air, and as the spell was completed, a huge bubble appeared. The new spell that Salin had developed in the past month was perfectly displayed in front of everyone. This hollow bubble wrapped Salin in the middle, which looked a little funny.
Beautiful magic patterns flowed on the bubble. Shika and Neris looked curiously at Salin inside, not knowing what he was going to do. This was an upgraded spell, the level-2 Water Pattern Shield. This time, the Water Pattern Shield protected Salin completely. Even his feet were off the ground, isolated from the ground.
The Water Pattern Shield started to shrink, and the magic patterns also flowed rhythmically. The huge bubble gradually shrank until it was just big enough to contain Salin's body. This was different from what Salin had expected. He had wanted to let the Water Pattern Shield completely attach to his body, just like the Ice Pattern Armor. Now, Salin was still inside the circular bubble. Luckily, people's height and arm span were usually the same, so his movements were not affected. Also, although his feet were a little off the ground, he could still feel the existence of the earth. Salin took two steps forward, and the Water Pattern Shield rolled forward like a wheel.
"Salin, it will be much easier for you to go down the mountain from now on," Shika praised.
Salin's face was red. This result was different from what he had imagined. Not only did it not feel cool, but it also looked like he was rolling after casting this spell. Salin hurriedly activated the level-2 spell. The surface of the Water Pattern Shield vaporized, and a faint mist instantly covered the whole bubble.
"Let's go."
Salin's voice came from a blurry cloud of mist. Without any warning, he rushed out of the crack in the rocks.
The imitation of a level-3 spell was successful! Although his posture was not very good, Salin was still overjoyed. Without a horse, a mage could not outrun a swordsman, unless he could cast Windspeed, which was above level-3. Also, this spell had the protection of a Water Pattern Shield, which was even more perfect than Windspeed.
The only pity was that Salin had already used up more than half of his magic strings. His Water Pattern Shield only used up the standard magic strings of a level-2 spell, but the imitation of a level-3 spell couldn't reduce the consumption at all. It would still use up half of his magic strings. If he did not become a Great Mage, this spell would only be useful for creation.
Rex was amused to see Salin controlling the ball of mist to roll forward, but she admired Salin's creativity even more. Figaro's magic formula could not be used just by learning it. A mage had to research and develop something that belonged to them. The compound spell that Salin had used last time was obviously created by himself.
A level-2 mage creating a level-1 spell was not considered a genius. It was surprising that Salin could create a level-3 spell when he was only a level-2 mage. Rex cast a Wind Speed spell on the other four and chased after them.
Salin felt the elemental changes in the Water Pattern Shield as he walked. His entire body was wrapped in the shield, and he found that other than the water element, the other five elements were all blocked out by the protection. In such an environment, even spells that he had not completely mastered could be released at a faster speed.
In this space, the water element could be used together with the magic strings in his body. This was an ability that only Great Mages had. Although Salin could not cast spells above level-4, he could experience what a Great Mage felt in advance, which was very beneficial for his future advancement.
There was a huge barrier between level-3 and level-4 mages. Salin's mental strength was already sufficient, but he lacked the growth of magic strings and the understanding of elemental control.
Salin had always thought that it was not worth it to lose the ability to directly learn the other five types of magic, but now he finally felt better. At least his advancement would be much easier than other mages.
Salin was excited. He did not realize that he was running faster and faster, and had already surpassed the limit of a level-3 Windspeed spell. The layer of mist outside the Water Pattern Shield was more powerful than the wind element, and easier to control. Rex followed behind and found that Salin was getting faster and faster. He had to cast Windspeed on the other four again, and they finally managed to catch up with Salin.
It was important to note that a normal horse could only run at 20 miles per hour, and sprint at around 60 miles per hour. A level-3 spell could allow a person to run at a constant speed like a horse, and a level-4 spell was close to the sprinting speed of a normal horse.
Salin's speed had already reached around 50 miles per hour. If it were not for the flattened ground in front of him, he would have crashed into some plant long ago.
Feeling that his speed had reached its limit, Salin began to practice steering. There were many more obstacles on the road ahead, such as the remains of huge petrified plants, burnt gravel, and even some animal skeletons. These skeletons were black and shiny, and could be seen from afar, so Salin could avoid them in advance.
After running for more than 15 miles, there was a huge rock in front of him. Salin did not go around it this time. Instead, he exerted force on his feet, controlled the vaporized mist, and suddenly jumped up. With this jump, Salin was like a polo ball that had been hit by a stick. He directly jumped over the huge rock that was more than 10 meters tall. Before he could start his joy, he saw a huge petrified tree getting closer and closer to his face.
