After getting an empty plot of land from the young mage, he was originally full of joy. He mobilized a few dozen young people with good aptitudes from the Dark Moon Fortress, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this. Those few dozen young people, almost without exception, were all buried in the sea of fire.
This was all because of Mafa Merlin!
"Sir Suval, you can't say such things carelessly …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek and indifferently glanced at the enraged Suval. "When I gave you this piece of land, I said that there was danger here. Sir Suval, did you forget?"
"You …"
Suval was suddenly speechless. He clearly remembered the previous day's circumstances. The young mage had indeed said something similar, but he hadn't paid attention to it at the time. Who would have thought that there would be a Demon at the peak of level 37 in the Ghost Valley?
He even suspected that the young mage knew of the existence of that Demon and deliberately tricked him.
As he thought of this, Suval looked at Lin Yun with an incomparably strange expression, but he didn't say anything. He turned and walked to the side, his exhausted body quickly disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Lin Yun didn't leave even after Suval completely disappeared, he remained there.
He felt that the appearance of the Lesser Lava Overlord was a bit abnormal.
'How could a Demon suddenly appear out of nowhere?'
'Could it be that the legend of the Thawing Fire Tribe is true? There is a Demon sealed in the Ghost Valley, and if you have something, you can release it …'
'Hmm?'
Just as he had no clue and was about to give up, a faint life fluctuation was caught by the Magic Array.
His eyes immediately lit up. Without thinking, he cast a Haste spell on himself and rushed over hurriedly. Finally, he stopped a few hundred meters away.
This was a shrubbery, and it was the source of the life fluctuation.
Lin Yun suddenly frowned and cautiously cast a Light spell.
Then …
The scene in front of them suddenly became clear. In the depths of a lush and verdant shrubbery, an altar that emitted a simple and unadorned aura appeared. Countless dark red symbols were faintly surging on it. In the dim light of the night, it seemed especially mysterious.
With just a glance, Lin Yun felt that the architectural style of this altar was somewhat similar. It seemed to be very similar to the altar in the Thawing Fire Tribe's Holy Land. Countless mysterious Ancient Beastman Characters were carved on it, densely packed like tadpoles, as if they contained boundless mana.
But what truly attracted Lin Yun's attention wasn't the altar itself, but the silhouette atop it.
This was an old Raging Flame Beastman. His body was bony and his hair was ashen. His eyes were empty, and there wasn't a single trace of vitality on his body. His face had experienced the vicissitudes of life and didn't show any emotion as he looked at Lin Yun in a daze. After a few seconds, he said in a hoarse voice, "I can't accept this, I actually couldn't kill you damned invaders …"
"Turns out it's you …"
Lin Yun thoughtfully looked at him for a while before frowning. After half a minute, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He finally understood what had happened tonight.
The Raging Flame Beastman before him was one of the Thawing Fire Tribe's six Great Prophets. When Lin Yun first entered the Ghost Valley, he had been besieged by a Beastman army, and the one leading that army was this Prophet, Lazart. At the same time, Lazart was also the teacher of the young Raging Flame Beastman, Yass.
The decisive battle between the allied armies and the Thawing Fire Tribe at the foot of the Holy Mountain had almost destroyed the entire Thawing Fire Tribe. But after careful investigation, some people discovered that only five Prophets had participated in the battle, while the Thawing Fire Tribe had always had six Great Prophets. The last one had never appeared.
And Lazart was that Prophet that never appeared.
If he hadn't met him a few months ago in the Ghost Valley and seen him from afar, Lin Yun might not have thought that Lazart was the tribe's Prophet.
Because the current Lazart was really too weak, and the energy fluctuations emitted from his body were pitifully weak. He might not even be comparable to a Great Mage, and his vitality was already on the verge of drying up. It wouldn't take long before he died.
No one would spare a second glance at a Raging Flame Beastman in this state in the Raging Flame Plane.
No one would believe that he was the tribe's Prophet.
After all, tribal Prophets could be considered peak fighting power in the entire Raging Flame Plane. They were equivalent to High Rank Archmages.
"You summoned that Demon, right? You used a kind of Soul Sacrifice …" Lin Yun had a pondering smile as he attentively looked at Lazart on the altar.
With his eyesight, it was very easy for him to see through this. The altar in front of him was specially used for Soul Sacrifice, and Lazart looked very weak and exhausted. He had most likely performed a Soul Sacrifice.
"So what if I am? I want to kill all of you damned invaders and take revenge for my tribe …" Lazart's old face was already completely distorted, as an endless crazed expression surged out. He let out a sinister voice that caused one's hair to stand on end, "Although I have failed this time and was unable to kill all of you invaders, don't be happy too early. When two suns appear in the sky at the same time, the flames of the Volcanic Mountain Range will burn all of you damned invaders to death, and you will sink in hell for eternity …"
"Pfft …"
At this time, Lazart's voice came to an abrupt end, because an Icicle had already pierced his chest, reaping his life before he powerlessly collapsed on the altar.
"Two suns … Volcanic Mountain Range …"
On the way back, Lin Yun kept thinking about what Lazart had said before his death. Two suns appearing in the sky sounded unimaginable, as if it was simply impossible.
But Lin Yun came from 30,000 years in the future, and he had even experienced an even more unimaginable Magic Era. How could two suns appear in the sky count for anything?
Naturally, the most important thing was that Lazart's words mentioned the Volcanic Mountain Range.
The Volcanic Mountain Range was undoubtedly very important to Lin Yun. It was a place he had to go to on his trip to the Raging Flame Plane. Because the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras had been nurtured in the Volcanic Mountain Range, the problem he was currently facing was very awkward. He had three Meditation Law Sets, and if he wanted to advance to the Archmage realm, he would have to thoroughly fuse his Meditation Law Set with his Magic Conducting Rune.
But he only had one Magic Conducting Rune, the Magic Array. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could replace a Meditation Law Set, as for the remaining one, he could only pin his hopes on the Book of Mantras.
Thus, he had no choice but to go to the Volcanic Mountain Range.
The Ancestral Land's Family Council didn't dispatch him to the Raging Flame Plane to participate in the competition, but rather to cooperate with the Watson Family and go to the Volcanic Mountain Range to search for the ruins left behind by the Merlin Family's ancestor.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Volcanic Mountain Range was the core of the entire Raging Flame Plane. Not only was it mysterious, but it was also the location of the most powerful Beastman Tribe.
After spending over ten minutes, Lin Yun returned to the vicinity of the Raising Dragon Array. After nine days, that defensive power had weakened to the point of being negligible, but Lin Yun didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. He was still guarding it from the side. He estimated that this power would be thoroughly eliminated by tomorrow.
"Lava Heart …"
After meditating for a few hours, Lin Yun, who had recovered, suddenly recalled the Lava Heart in his pocket. This was an alchemy material that would make any alchemist jealous. To be more precise, the Lava Heart didn't have a wide range of uses. It could be used like mana crystals, but that would be a waste of resources.
The value of the Lava Heart lay in the fact that it could be used to set up a mystical array called a Demon Contract.
At the peak of the Magic Era, almost every first-rate force in Noscent had a Demon Contract. That kind of array could be said to be the symbol of a first-rate force. After all, Lesser Lava Overlords were very rare in Noscent. Unless one was as lucky as Lin Yun, they would have to go to the bottom of the Abyss to hunt a Lesser Lava Overlord.
When he took out the Lava Heart, a terrifyingly high temperature spread in all directions. The Lava Heart was throbbing, and with each throbbing, Lin Yun could feel a shocking power slowly awakening.
Lin Yun fished out a quill from his pocket and dipped it in the ink he had prepared beforehand before slowly writing a rune on the Lava Heart. Even with his current alchemy skills, he had no choice but to be very careful when setting up the Demon Contract Array, because the slightest mistake could lead to failure and bring him indescribable losses.
In just a few minutes, his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his mage robe was also drenched in sweat. However, he did not have the time to care about that at the moment. All his attention was focused on setting up the magic circle.
Every time he wrote a rune on the Lava Heart, he had to go through a lot of precise calculations. If it had been an ordinary first-rate Master Alchemist, they would have needed at least four to five days of calculations to verify the feasibility of the most basic rune. But with the Magic Array, Lin Yun was able to shorten that time by a hundred to a thousand times. In three hours, the originally smooth surface of the Lava Heart had already been replaced by numerous golden runes.
"Alright …" After writing the last rune, Lin Yun put down the quill and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked very tired. After all, this was a tedious and tedious task, and with his terrifying computing ability, he was able to complete the preliminary Demon Contract in five hours.
