What the hell is this?!
Angor's lips twitched as he finished reading. The "Oh" at the beginning of the sentence sounded familiar.
He held back his urge to retort. Based on the information he extracted from this sentence, apart from the Magic Painter Adept's usual "charlatan" tone, the most important thing was definitely the so-called "treasure."
Was Sorcerer Magic Painter trying to tell others that he had left a treasure here? Did he want someone to look for it? But what was this treasure?
As he pondered, Angor suddenly noticed that the words left behind by Wizard Magic Painter were becoming blurry like ink smeared by water. When they reached a certain point, the water began to condense and turn black again. In the end, a new line of words was formed on the paper door.
"I did leave the treasure there. But you can't open it without the key.]
Angor looked at the layout in silence. He was waiting to see if there would be any changes to it.
As he expected, the words disappeared again in less than half a minute and reappeared.
[Want to know where the key is? ]
Angor kept waiting. Since Wizard Magic Painter asked such a question, he should be able to answer it soon.
However, Angor still underestimated Wizard Magic Painter's shamelessness. Ten minutes later, the line of "Want to know where the key is?" was still there.
Angor looked at the question again. Angor was speechless. He felt an urge to burn the paper door.
Wizard Magic Painter was not going to answer the question. He purposely asked a question to pique people's curiosity. Then he would not answer and disgust them to death.
This kind of bad taste was already reflected in the previous sentence, "If you don't have the key, you can't open it ~".
In the common tongue of the continent, there was a special term for "a circus audience watching a clown's performance with a mocking emotion". The term was composed of three structures: subjective meaning, content, and emotion. In this typesetting, Wizard Magic Painter deliberately picked out the character structure used to express emotion and placed it at the end of the sentence.
Obviously, Wizard Magic Painter was using the character structure to express his evil interest: I'm watching a good show.
The Magic Painter Wizard purposely told those who came after him that there was a treasure hidden here, but this treasure could only be opened with a corresponding key. However, I won't tell you where it is.
It was obvious that he was watching a good show.
He clenched his fists and exhaled deeply.
The Magic Painter Sorcerer was as vile and annoying as ever. Even though they were separated by endless space and time, he still had to leave behind words of ridicule to express his vile taste.
"You're making my hands itch." Angor considered and narrowed his eyes. "But I do have one of those keys you mentioned. I just don't know if it's the key to your treasure. "
Angor humphed. He did not want to listen to the sarcastic question any longer, so he turned around and left.
While walking, he left a special nightmare node on the ground. It wasn't a precaution, but a way to record the route. This was to prevent the space from being cut off or some kind of spatial teleportation … When many adventurers went to explore the ruins of their predecessors, they often didn't pay attention to these details and were trapped in dark places, unable to find their way out.
Even though this wasn't a ruin, the Magic Painter Sorcerer was still here. Who knew if he would have some evil taste and left some traps? Therefore, they had to be careful even when walking.
He carefully moved forward along the narrow path. Soon, the path ahead became narrow again. He could bend his body at first, but not even Mini Man could get through it.
Angor had no choice but to turn into a thin thread again and crawl along the path that was as small as the eye of a needle.
The path was not long. After several breaths, Angor saw light in front of him.
However, it was not the bright light of day. Instead, it was an orange-red color that looked like the light of a burning flame.
Soon, Angor reached the entrance of the cave. When he approached the entrance, he saw Wizard Magic Painter's work again.
There were many runes engraved on the walls of the cave. They did not emit any energy ripples, but they must have some special effect.
When the silk thread came into contact with these patterns, there was a cold sensation.
Angor reached the entrance and looked outside. All he could see was an orange-red color. He tried to use his spirit power to check, but his spirit power was restricted. Perhaps it was the effect of the runes on the walls.
Since he couldn't use his spirit feelers, he decided to go outside and check it out.
He was already here, and he had to get out anyway.
With that thought in mind, he jumped out of the small hole.
As soon as the thread left the hole, Angor could use his spirit power again. At the same time, he also sensed his surroundings.
There was nothing but scorched earth around him.
It was the kind of scorched earth that was still burning due to the fire gushing out of the ground.
Angor wondered if the orange-red light was caused by fire. And it turned out to be true. Angor just happened to come out of a fissure that was spewing flames, so all he could see was a sea of red.
The flames were extremely hot. Even with his spirit power protecting him, Angor still felt the intense heat.
He quickly controlled the "thread" to move back several steps and landed on the big rock.
When he landed on the rock, he reverted back to his original form and put on a heat-resistant wizard robe.
As soon as he returned to his human form, he smelled the strong smell of sulfur in the air. The smell did not come from afar. Instead, it covered the entire area around him.
Angor instinctively activated his Purification Field in the pungent air.
Just as the purification force field expanded, a large amount of flames rose around him.
Angor looked at the flames floating around him in confusion. He did not know what was going on until he sensed the energy around him.
The air was filled with extremely dense fire element energy.
What was "extreme"? Even when Angor activated his Purification Field, the friction between energy sources could destabilize the fire element and cause it to burst into flames.
Angor saw a lava lake in the mushroom forest in the Flower Spirit Garden, which was created by Leavis using all of his energy.
As a genius fire wizard, Leavis' lava lake contained enough fire energy to give birth to a large number of fire elementals. Even so, Angor still felt that the lava lake was not as good as the one he was looking at right now.
Just the fire elemental energy contained in the air here was much higher than the lava lake that Reeves had transformed into!
"So, this is the Tidal Realm?" Angor looked around and muttered.
Feeling the terrifying fire element in the air, Angor began to understand why the Old Earth did not have any elemental energy. Most likely, all the elemental energy had flowed into this world.
Angor only saw fire element energy here, but he clearly remembered that there were many elemental creatures in the Tidal Realm. It was hard to tell what kind of elemental energy there was, but there was definitely more than just fire.
There must be other places in the Tidal Realm like this one, which contained other elements.
The mystery of the disappearance of elemental energy in the Old Earth, which had been waiting for a long time, might finally be solved.
The existence of the Tidal Realm was the answer.
…
Angor let out a long sigh and looked away from the flames around him. Instead, he looked at the big rock under his feet.
This big rock was very big, like a small hill.
On the rock, there was a pattern drawn with colored paint. It was a monkey covered in black flames and had a black gem dangling from its earlobe.
There were two reasons why he chose the Blackfire Monkey.
First, the hole he came out from was right on the monkey's earlobe. The hole was so small that it was easy to miss it if one did not pay attention. He left a nightmare node in the hole, which was why he was able to find it so quickly.
Secondly, the image of the Blackfire Monkey had appeared on the map of the Tidal Realm.
Angor walked to the earlobe, crouched down, and touched the hole. He sensed something strange coming from the hole.
Angor tried to recall the coldness of the cave wall and compared it with the heat outside. He now knew what the patterns on the wall did. They were used to maintain the temperature and conceal the strange aura.
After memorizing the hole's location, he stood up and began to observe the Blackfire Monkey. It was obviously the work of a Magic Artist.
He remembered that there was an area marked by dotted lines on the upper right side of the Tidal Realm map, and the Blackfire Monkey was the representative of the elemental creatures there.
So he was now at the upper right side of the map?
Angor did not know if he was right, but he had no other choice for now.
But even if he knew where he was on the map, where should he go now?
Should he go find Feng's treasure? But Feng's map only marked the areas with dotted lines, which indicated the elemental creatures. There was no indication of where the treasure was.
Since he already knew where the hole was, Angor decided to check his surroundings first.
Instead of using Zhang Yang's Gondola, he tapped the ground with his foot and levitated in the air using Night Dash.
He planned to observe the surroundings from above, but when he looked down, he saw nothing but grayish-black smoke. It was as if the clouds in the sky had fallen to the ground. He couldn't see anything at all.
Angor looked around helplessly but did not find anything useful. Instead, he saw a flock of flaming sparrows circling in the sky.
Flaming sparrows … He only saw them from afar, but he knew what they were.
They must be elemental creatures.
The lava lake created by Reeves could give birth to a large number of elemental creatures. The fire element here was even denser than the lava lake, so there must be a lot of elemental creatures here.
Angor chose to come to the Tidal Realm not only because he wanted to find the treasure left by Magic Painter, but also because there might be a large number of elemental creatures here. He might be able to find a suitable elemental companion.
"Is there something over there?" Angor wondered why the flaming sparrows were circling around. Was there something down there?
Since he did not know where to go, he might as well check it out. Maybe he could find something useful.
This was a new world, and he could not be sure if it was safe. Instead of flying directly, Angor landed on the ground, covered his aura, and approached from the ground.
After confirming the direction, Angor stepped through the scorched earth and moved forward.
The area covered by the scorched earth was extremely wide, and there were cracks everywhere. Large amounts of steam rose, and even the air was distorted by the heat.
Angor walked for a long time without seeing the end. He did see several lakes filled with boiling lava, as well as some strange-looking fire elemental creatures.
These creatures did not look like newborns, which meant they were not easy to deal with.
For example, to Angor's left, there was a six-tailed fox made of purple flames. It was curled up in a narrow crack and enjoying the heat as if it was taking a bath.
The six-tailed fox looked so relaxed, but it was releasing a terrifying amount of fire energy.
In terms of the level of the fire, the six-tailed fox's purple flames were about the same as Angor's most powerful alchemy spell.
This was definitely an elemental creature that was half-step away from becoming a wizard.
Although it only looked like a half-step Adept, elemental creatures were different from apprentice Adepts. Elemental creatures were not afraid of attacks from the material world, and they were also immune to most types of energy. Even if an apprentice at the pinnacle wanted to fight it, ten of them would not be able to defeat it.
The fox was not to be underestimated.
El Mi, who was hiding in the shadows, had even begun to stir, which was proof enough of this.
Angor signaled Elmi to stay put. He was planning to capture an elemental creature, but he did not want to do it for no reason. This six-tailed fox was not bad, but there might be better ones.
Moreover, it was more important for him to gather information, not capture it.
With that in mind, Angor hid his aura, went around the six-tailed fox, and kept moving forward.
Angor did not notice that after he left, the six-tailed fox lifted its head and looked at Angor's back with a thoughtful look.
Next, tiny sparks rose from the fox's body and were blown away by the smoke.
