As soon as the Fire Tribulation appeared, the whole place was already in an uproar!
Mo Fan and his crew, who were far away in the Drifting Sand River, had no idea that a huge group of people was heading their way.
However, they were not too concerned about it, as the Drifting Sand River was starting to feel uneasy. If they did not leave the Drifting Sand River soon, it would be meaningless even if they had Xinxia with the Psychic Element.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on!" cursed Zhao Manting.
They were almost devoured by the Fire Tribulation when they arrived at the North Burning Valley. When they finally made it to the Drifting Sand River, the Drifting Sand River turned restless, as if it was going out of control.
"Are we going back, or are we going to the North Burning Valley? Hurry up and decide!" said Zhang Xiaohou.
"It's too late to go back now. Let's head to the North Burning Valley as soon as possible …" said Xinxia with a frown.
Everyone's hearts sank upon hearing Xinxia's words. The Fire Tribulation had completely disrupted their original plan. The place was a lot more dangerous than they had expected. Mo Fan believed that it was not worth it to leave them in such a dangerous and unknown land just for a Flame Belle.
Therefore, even though Chen Yi insisted that they should not go back, the group had no intention of searching for the Flame Belle.
To their surprise, the Drifting Sand River was rebelling too. Even Xinxia's Psychic Element seemed to have lost its effect. Judging from their current position, they were still more than ten kilometers away from the Dunhuang Mountains. There was no way they could make it in time. If they were to force their way back, they would most likely be trapped in the middle of the Drifting Sand River.
They might be able to handle the White Sand Giants in a small area, but they had no idea how many White Sand Giants there were in the middle of the Drifting Sand River. Once the Psychic Element lost its effect, the White Sand Giants could easily wear them out in the Drifting Sand River.
"If we can't fight our way back, we'll have no choice but to head to the North Burning Valley. Let's hope something like the Fire Tribulation doesn't happen again," Mo Fan quickly made up his mind.
"Don't worry, the Fire Tribulation won't happen twice in a year. It might even take longer," said Chen Yi confidently.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's hurry up and leave this terrifying Drifting Sand River," said Lingling.
The group quickly moved forward. Xinxia was currently sitting on the Swift Star Wolf's back. She closed her eyes and focused on clearing a path for the group. Judging from her furrowed eyebrows, it was obvious that the White Sand Giants were resisting her Pacifying Spell.
Luckily, the group did not return too far into the Drifting Sand River. Not long after, the North Burning Valley with bare rocks and sand appeared before their eyes.
… …
As soon as they arrived at the riverbank, they saw a huge pile of skeletons piled up like a small hill on the riverbank!
Mo Fan clearly remembered that the Warrior-level Killing Armor Beasts were roaming around the area before they left.
It was obvious that they were devoured by the Fire Calamity while they were hesitating. They did not even have the time to jump into the Drifting Sand River. They were turned into piles of skeletons without any chance to struggle.
"I, Zhao Manting, am totally speechless. If I knew this place was so terrifying, I wouldn't have come even if you beat me to death!" exclaimed Zhao Manting in disgust.
The strength of the Killing Armor Beasts was equivalent to an army, yet even they were burned into a pile of skeletons in an instant. It was obvious how terrifying the Fire Calamity was.
"Enough with your nonsense. Since we're already here, let's just follow Chen Yi's suggestion and loot as much as we can. Otherwise, how are we going to be able to justify ourselves after risking our lives to overcome our cowardly nature?" said Mo Fan mockingly.
"Let's stick to our plan and try our best to find the Fire Element Soul Seeds nearby. However, according to Chen Yi, there might be more treasures after the Fire Calamity. It's likely that there will be more Soul Seeds, which means our chance of finding the Flame Belle will be even slimmer, "said Lingling.
"I don't think it's bad news." Xinxia couldn't help but chime in when she saw everyone's nervous expressions.
Xinxia's words served as a reminder to the others.
She was right, why did they have to find the Flame Belle?
If they had found a few Soul Seeds, or some other rare Fire Element resource, they would be able to return with great rewards too. It was rare to come by such a rare opportunity.
The North Burning Valley had just gone through a Fire Calamity. If they were the only team in the entire brazier, wouldn't that mean they were free to explore the fertile land?
After pondering for a while, the fear they felt from the Fire Calamity immediately dissipated when they recalled the place was filled with gold.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Zhao Manting might be afraid of death, but he was also someone who valued money as much as his life. This was the genetic bloodline of the Zhao Family, one of the wealthiest families in the region!
…
The group headed deeper into the North Burning Valley with a hint of anticipation. They could sense that the place was a lot quieter. There were not many demon beasts roaming around.
After traveling for less than two kilometers, Mo Fan had already found some Soul Seed Fragments that were almost exposed to the ground.
There were three Soul Seed Pieces in total. Mo Fan clearly remembered that the market price for Soul Seed Pieces was between three hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand. The Soul Seed Pieces that he had found were of fairly decent quality. He should be able to sell them for five hundred thousand!
If they were able to find something like that, the place was indeed filled with gold. Oh no, it should be filled with diamonds!
"Let's try our best to collect as many resources as possible. We'll split the loot once we leave this place," said Mo Fan.
"The Soul Seed Pieces aren't bad, but I believe there are more valuable things here. Since we're the first team to enter this place, we should try our best to find more valuable resources. We shouldn't waste too much time on the small stuff," said Lingling.
Zhao Manting was startled. They had been fighting and challenging each other at the school just to get a higher ranking, yet it was only for a few Soul Seed Pieces. However, it seemed like the Soul Seed Pieces were the least valuable things here!
When Zhao Manting thought about the possibility of finding more Soul Seeds, or something even more valuable than a Soul Seed, he felt like he had been injected with stimulants. He was a completely different person compared to the person who insisted on going back after being scared by the Fire Calamity. His eyes flickered as he walked in front of the team!
"Let's place the Element Detectors here. There shouldn't be any demon beasts nearby. We'll be able to detect the Element Detectors from a great distance," said Lingling.
The four knew that it was only a matter of time before they found the Soul Seeds. They quickly buried the Element Detectors into the ground with unprecedented agility!
A Soul Seed was worth between fifteen to thirty million, while a Fire Element Soul Seed was worth more than twenty million on average …
If they could find a few more, they would be rich!
