Dunhuang …
North of Dunhuang City was a military zone called Dunhuang. Following a gust of hot air in the morning, the higher-ups of the zone were alerted to a meeting.
The higher-ups of the military region gathered at the long table in an instant. Among them, a man with tanned skin and a large military cap stood in the middle. In his hand, he held the data that he had just received.
"According to the report from my men, a huge Fire Calamity has appeared in the North Burning Valley not long ago, killing countless lives in the Burning Valley …" said the tanned Commander.
Hearing this, the other Generals who were participating in the meeting were pleasantly surprised.
How could they, who had been stationed in Dunhuang for a long time, not know about the North Burning Valley? It was true that the Dunhuang Demon Tigers were the biggest threat to the people of Dunhuang, but even the Hunters who were not stationed in Dunhuang knew that the North Burning Valley that was separated by the Drifting Sand River had always been a mysterious land, full of unimaginable resources and treasures.
Since the Drifting Sand River was difficult to cross, the place was like a virgin land, with plenty of places to excavate.
Rumor had it that the North Burning Valley had a special period. After the Fire Calamity, the resources in the Burning Valley that had been baptized by the God of Fire would sprout like bamboo shoots after the rain. Not only would the resources that were already hidden in the Burning Valley become more valuable, it would also give birth to new treasures …
The Fire Calamity was indeed a symbol of death, the most terrifying wrath of nature. However, to the living creatures that had survived the calamity, what awaited them was a feast of fire in the North Burning Valley!
"Enough with the nonsense, I'll bring my men with me!" An impatient Commander slammed the table and rose to his feet like a spring.
No one was clearer than them about the benefits that the North Burning Valley would bring.
"Who are you bringing with you? Don't you need to defend the city? Let me go and explore. After all, I'm much more familiar with that place than you old fellows who don't leave your homes, "said a male commander who was over thirty years old. His entire body exuded a wild aura.
"Alright, I'll make the decision on who to send. There's no need to argue. On top of that, if I'm not mistaken, the people of the Magic Association are on the move too, not to mention the experienced Hunters of the Hunter Union. Perhaps they are already planning to cross the Drifting Sand River while we're discussing the matter … "said the tanned Captain.
At the mention of the Drifting Sand River, everyone's emotions instantly cooled down.
The Drifting Sand River was a strange place. The stronger the aura of the outsiders, the easier it was for them to awaken more and stronger White Sand Demons. However, having more people was not enough to solve the problem …
Since ancient times, there had never been a force that dared to compete with the Drifting Sand River in terms of 'manpower'.
Therefore, the soldiers heading to the Burning Valley had to be extraordinary. Their strength was secondary, as long as they could protect themselves in the North Burning Valley.
The earlier they arrived at the North Burning Valley, the more resources they would obtain. Time was money!
The Dunhuang Military District was different from the other military districts. They did not have any Heavenly Eagle Magicians. The Heavenly Eagles could not survive in this place. Even their feathers would fall off due to the heat.
Without the Heavenly Eagles, it meant they did not have any Beastmasters, which also meant they did not have any Psychic Magicians. It would cost them a fortune to recruit a Psychic Magician at the last minute …
Besides, the experienced Hunters of the Hunter Union were extremely efficient at gathering information. It was likely that all the Psychic Magicians in Dunhuang would be recruited soon. The military could not afford to wait any longer. If they had no other choice, they would have to force their way through.
Either way, they could not afford to let the other factions get ahead of them. Otherwise, all the good stuff would be taken away by them!

"I heard that the Fire Calamity only happens once every few years in the North Burning Valley, and its scale was not as big as it is now. If we manage to survive the Fire Calamity, it means we will be safe in the North Burning Valley. Most importantly, the Fire Calamity is a baptism for the North Burning Valley. It will kill or drive away all the creatures that do not possess the lineage of the Fire Element. The North Burning Valley will most likely produce more natural resources after the baptism," said Chen Ying.
From the looks of it, Chen Yi did not want them to back off.
Mofan and Ling Ling immediately looked at Chen Ying with confused looks.
Mofan had only collected information about the North Burning Valley through the Secret Tipping Scrolls. Not many people knew about the North Burning Valley.
On the other hand, Lingling herself was like a library. Most of the information could be found on the mini computer in her hand. Furthermore, Lingling was determined to collect the most complete information on the Magical Beasts and Forbidden Areas in the world. Whenever she learned something new, she would save it into her computer.
Even Ling Ling did not know about the Fire Calamity in the North Burning Valley. Why would Chen Ying, who had decided to tag along at the last minute, know so much about it?
"Why are you all looking at me like that … I must have done my homework before coming here." Chen Ying was obviously not a scheming girl. She felt a little guilty after being stared at like that.
"Someone from our Zhao Clan must have been here before," explained Zhao Manyan on behalf of her cousin.
"You just said that after the baptism of the fire tribulation, this land will give birth to even more treasures. Is that true?" Lingling asked seriously.
Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, before nodding in the end.
"The Fire Calamity will make the North Burning Valley fertile again. If I'm not mistaken, once the outside world knows that the North Burning Valley has just gone through a huge Fire Calamity, countless Magicians will come here to search for treasures. Therefore, our predecessors were not willing to spread the news about the Fire Calamity, "said Chen Ying.
The Fire Calamity was indeed like the wrath of the gods descending upon the world. Apart from possessing the incomparable beauty of nature, the flames also carried a strong presence of death. However, when such a huge force was unleashed, it also meant that the energy had been channeled into the land, which was already burning like a brazier …
Many special plants, magic stones, spirit seeds, and Yuan Eyes needed to absorb energy, and were nurtured by the energy of nature. The fire tribulation just now might have been a terrible disaster for non-fire life forms, but for these special objects, it was just a timely rain!
