The Thunder Eagle's appearance instantly attracted the surrounding players' attention.
"A Flying Mount!"
"What a powerful Flying Mount! It definitely has the strength of a Level 100 Great Lord!"
"So cool! When will I get my hands on a Flying Mount like this?! "
The various major powers' members discussed the Thunder Eagle's sudden appearance, envy flashing in their eyes.
If not for the Summoning Flute being stored in a player's item space and being extremely difficult to drop, they would've most likely charged forward to snatch the Flying Mount.
So, this is the rumored Thunder Hawk? Cleansing Flame was astonished when she saw the gigantic Thunder Hawk descending from the sky, stirring up a gust of wind.
Although the various major powers' members were currently searching for Flying Mount Eggs, including Heaven's Blade's adventurer team, they still had no idea what a Flying Mount was. At most, they had only seen one in videos.
Now that she was personally witnessing the Thunder Eagle's 20-meter-long wingspan, it was even more spectacular than a small passenger plane.
"Come on up. There are too many monsters along the way. It'll be faster if we fly," Shifeng said to Cleansing Flame as he hopped onto the Thunder Eagle's back.
Although the Molten Canyon was a dangerous place, flying wasn't prohibited.
Only, the Thunder Eagle was too conspicuous, and it would alert others to his whereabouts. Hence, he hadn't summoned it along the way. However, to obtain the Tree of Life's main branch, he had no choice but to summon the Thunder Eagle to reach the Molten Ruin's cavern. Moreover, the Molten Canyon had been sealed off, making it difficult to contact the outside world.
When Cleansing Flame and the others saw the majestic Thunder Eagle, they excitedly mounted it. The Thunder Eagle then flapped its wings and rose several hundred meters into the air, flying toward the Molten Ruin.
In the next moment, the forest and players in the Underworld sped past them, their Mounts moving much faster than those on land.
"Leader, this Flying Mount is amazing! If Heaven's Blade has a few, we'll be able to level up a lot faster! We'll be far ahead of the other adventurer teams!" a Level 101 Assassin beside Cleansing Flame exclaimed.
"Indeed. With such Movement Speed, we'll have a much easier time traveling to distant Level 100 maps. We'll save enough time to rest and recover." When Cleansing Flame looked at the Level 100-plus monsters on the ground, she finally understood the benefits of having a Flying Mount. She also understood why Ling Yi had become so strong.
The time saved by riding a Flying Mount could allow them to grind in Level 100-plus maps twice a day. It was no wonder why Ling Yi had so many Tier 3 players.
It took them nearly two hours to reach the Molten Ruins, but the Thunder Eagle only took a little more than ten minutes to reach the cave.
Cleansing Flame and the others felt as if they were dreaming during these ten minutes or so.
After all, they had fought their way to the exit of the Molten Grand Canyon, but now, they had returned without fighting at all. Even sitting on their flying mounts, they had recovered some of their stamina. It was as if all their previous battles had been nothing but a dream.
"President Hei Yan, our party has explored the Molten Ruins thoroughly, so we're very familiar with the terrain. We can lead the way for you. Many of our adventurer team's members are on the way to the ruin's inner area. They should be able to help you," Cleansing Flame suggested.
Shifeng had saved her party's life, so she owed him a huge favor. Since the Shifeng wanted to compete for the Thunder Eagle's position, she'd help him if she could. Moreover, the more adventurer team's members entered the Molten Ruins, the more resources they'd have to deal with War Blood.
"I'll have to trouble you, then," Shifeng said.
"I'll have a team contact them right away. I'm sure they'll have gathered by the time we reach the cave's entrance," Cleansing Flame said, nodding. After Shifeng agreed, Cleansing Flame had one of her team members log out of the game and notify the other adventurer team's members.
Afterward, Cleansing Flame led the Shifeng's group of four to the Molten Ruins' cave's entrance.
The Molten Ruins was extremely dangerous. Even a team of Level 100-plus experts wearing full sets of Level 100-plus Mysterious-Iron Equipment could easily annihilate the team.
Level 100-plus Great Lord ranked Blue-eyed Spiders roamed the ruin. Occasionally, Level 100-plus Grand Lord ranked Flame Spiders would pop out of the ruins. Tier 2 teams would have a hard time dealing with a few Blue-eyed Spiders, but if they ran into a Flame Spider, they'd die. Very few players could escape the Flame Spiders.
Meanwhile, Cleansing Flame's party had long since figured out the Molten Ruins' cave's outer area and the Flame Spiders' range of activity. She led the Shifeng's group of four around the Flame Spiders with ease. Along the way, they only had to deal with a few Blue-eyed Spiders. In fact, the Shifeng's party didn't even need to do anything. Cleansing Flame's party used traps to pin down several Blue-eyed Spiders, allowing the team to escape the monsters' pursuit.
After a little over half an hour, Cleansing Flame led the Shifeng's party to a cave the size of a small town. Blue crystals covered the ceiling of the cave, and they released a dazzling glow that illuminated the cave as if it were daytime.
Inside the cave was a steel tunnel that was over a dozen meters tall. Even from several hundred yards away, one could clearly feel the terrifying pressure radiating from the tunnel.
This frightening aura was extraordinary. If a Tier 1 player were here, they wouldn't even be able to get close to the entrance. Even Tier 2 players would feel mentally uncomfortable, as if their hands and feet were tied.
However, a large number of players crowded the tunnel's entrance, easily numbering over 10,000. Every one of them was an expert team from the various major powers. Not only were they high-leveled, but they also wore excellent equipment. Many of them were peak experts in Epic Equipment. There were even several dozen Tier 3 players among them.
Among these peak experts was a team wearing Heaven's Blade's Cloaks. This team only had a little over 100 members, but they all wore excellent equipment. Many of them were experts in Level 100-plus Secret-Silver Equipment. Among the various teams in the Molten Ruins, this team was quite dazzling.
"Yu Luo, you guys got here so quickly! We've already rushed over here as quickly as we could, yet you're still one step ahead of us! " As Cleansing Flame approached Heaven's Blade's team, she could not help but greet the Tier 3 female Cleric leading the team.
Although this delicate female Cleric looked harmless, every expert in Heaven's Blade's team looked at her with fear and reverence.
"You're finally here. If you had taken any longer, I would've led a team to explore the tunnel," Yu Luo said happily as she looked at Cleansing Flame.
"President Hei Yan, allow me to introduce you. This is Yu Luo, Heaven's Blade's Chief Cleric. She ranks among the top five Clerics on Dragonheart Island," Cleansing Flame introduced. "Yu Luo, this is President Hei Yan. President Hei Yan is very powerful. He forced Afterglow to step aside with just a few words."
"Greetings, President Hei Yan." After listening to Cleansing Flame's introduction, Yu Luo scrutinized the Shifeng. She then got straight to the point and said, "May I know when your team will arrive, President Hei Yan? Our commander's situation isn't good, and I don't know how long she can hide. I hope we can begin our operation as soon as possible."
Out of consideration for the teams operating in the outer area, her commander had asked her to stay behind. However, War Blood's experts were hot on her heels, and she was trapped in the inner corridor. If not for the dangers of the inner corridor, where several superpowers' main force teams couldn't even make it through, she would've long since rushed to her rescue.
"We're all here. We can enter at any time," Cleansing Flame said.
