Being a Magician did not necessarily mean he was good at drinking. His head was still a little dizzy when he woke up, but he could already hear Ling Ling urging him to hurry up.
Mofan took a shower. He felt refreshed and went out of the room. He was no longer as embarrassed as he had been the night before, when he was knocked out by the two hostesses at the brothel.
Zhao Manyan came out not long after. He cursed, "Damn it, Sister Li is looking down on me. She said I can't outdrink her, and I can't outdo her in bed either. Damn it, I must have drunk myself to death last night. Otherwise, I would have taught her why Nuwa is trying to mend the Sky!"
"That's enough, it's hard to say if you're going to make it out alive. Stop bragging here," Mofan scolded him.
Everyone was present when they arrived at the relay station. There were around twenty people in the group, but only nine were in charge of the fire vein. They were Mofan, Zhao Manyan, Mubai, Qi Shan, Mui Zhuocheng, Dongfang Xifeng, Dongfang Linlin, and the others.
The ones in charge of controlling the fire vein were Dongfang Mo, Mui Guangqing, Dongfang Ming, Ling Ling, and the others.
The mountain path was still a distance away. Mui Guangqing summoned a mountain beast as his mount. The beast led the group across the dangerous peaks of the Sun Ridge at its fastest speed and gradually approached the fire vein.
"Do you see the Scorching Rock Peak? That's the highest peak of the Sun Ridge. The ruler of the Sun Ridge is right there. After observing it for a long time, we noticed that the Scorching Rock Peak is shrouded in an orange cloud of volcanic ash all year round. The cloud of volcanic ash is the perfect cover for us. The ruler of the Sun Ridge won't be able to see us, no matter what we do in the fire vein, "Mui Guangqing said, pointing at a peak ahead.
The peak was buried in a huge cluster of rolling clouds. The clouds were orange in color, with occasional flickers of flames. It was likely that there was some kind of vortex in the sky, absorbing the volcanic ash, fire particles, and fire aura from the fire vein. It had accumulated over a long period of time, resulting in such a spectacular volcanic cloud!
These clouds were not faintly discernible. Instead, they gave off a heavy feeling. Together with the mountain range here, it felt as if the vast world had been compressed into a horizontal rift valley, bringing with it a sense of oppression!
"Is that Overlord not interested in the fire vein?" Mofan asked.
"According to my speculation, the creature is more interested in the volcanic cloud. However, I've heard from the locals that the creature isn't as obedient as it used to be, so you should be careful, Brother Mo," Mui Guangqing said.
No one could guarantee that the overlord was sleeping soundly on its Scorching Stone Peak. If they accidentally bumped into it coming out for a stroll, their group would most likely be doomed.
Mofan was currently in his dormant state. If an overlord were to jump out and target him, his life would be in danger.
"It's one of the threats to us. Brother Mo and his subordinates will keep an eye on the Ruler. They'll inform everyone if anything happens … come with me to the Fire Vein Cave," Mui Guangqing said.
The terrain began to rise after passing through a few valleys. The mountain was slanting toward the sky, toward the volcanic cloud. It felt like they could reach the world above the clouds if they were to walk along the mountain.
Mofan could not help but exclaim at the sight of the magnificent mountain range. It was only one of the less famous ridges of Mount Kunlun, yet it was already so shocking. How shocking would the peak of Mount Kunlun be?
Mount Kunlun was home to a kingdom, too. The demon beasts of the Qinling Mountains originated from Mount Kunlun. They were a branch of Mount Kunlun!
A mere branch of Mount Kunlun had claimed the mountain range as its ruler. He wondered which outstanding demon beast was in charge of the peak of Mount Kunlun!
The terrain continued to rise. Just as the group thought the mountain path was going to reach the clouds, their vision suddenly widened as they crossed a vertical ridge. It took Mofan by surprise...
"This mountain used to be the tallest peak, but it ended up like this after it was struck by a meteor," Mui Guangqing explained, knowing the group would be dumbfounded.
When he first came here, he did not expect that the mountain would suddenly reach its peak. In fact, this was not the peak of the mountain. More than three hundred years ago, this mountain was still nearly a thousand meters high. It was really a peak above the clouds. However, when a meteor passed by, it smashed the entire body of the peak into pieces. As a result, the mountain became what it was now. The top of the mountain was a flat top that was broken in half. The flat top was so big that it was enough to build a vast city on it!
"We call this place the Roulette Peak Cauldron. The largest diameter is seven kilometers, and the smallest diameter is five kilometers. The fire vein is located at the center of the Roulette Peak Cauldron. It's a volcanic pond formed when a meteor struck the mountain. The diameter of the volcanic pond is around four kilometers. You should be able to see the cave if you keep going!" Mui Guangqing said.
The group continued forward. As Mui Guangqing said, they could see a sudden depression on the ground ahead. The entrance of the cave was within their sight. To their astonishment, the cave was so huge that they could not see the whole thing from where they were. They had no choice but to keep going...
As they continued forward, the cave gradually revealed itself to them. The deep and claustrophobic atmosphere was intimidating, making it difficult for them to muster the courage to continue forward!
"What an eye-opener!" Zhao Manyan could not help but let out a sigh.
A real fire vein. Its aura alone was enough to intimidate ordinary people, yet none of them were able to see the flames inside the cave...
As they continued forward, a blinding red color suddenly struck their hearts!
It was so red that their bodies felt like they were going to burst into flames. The further they went, the more minuscule they felt!
As they continued forward, the domineering fiery red completely swallowed up everyone's line of sight. There were already a few people who had stopped in their tracks and stood there in a daze. They were beaten out of their wits by this awe-inspiring scene.
"This... this is unbelievable!" Dongfang Mo, who was here for the first time, blurted out.
Mui Guangqing smiled proudly. He was the one who had discovered the spectacular sight, and today, they were going to activate the Elemental Earth Vein that had been around for three hundred years! The two renowned clans were going to change because of it!
"Mofan, why don't you give Guan Xixi a call and tell her about the cars?" Zhao Manyan almost wet his pants when he saw the sight.
My God, they were going to jump into the sea of flames. There was no way they were going to make it out alive!
"Can you be a little more mature? We're already f * * king here," Mofan scolded him.
The other people who had volunteered to join the team were also thinking of retreating at this moment. They had no idea how dangerous and majestic this fire vein was until they arrived at this place. Let alone jumping down, they had already lost the courage to continue moving forward. One had to know that the red color they saw was only a part of the volcanic lake. They had not even reached the edge!
