There was no one around, nor were there any footprints. It was obvious that the incident had taken place quite some time ago. The Fire Witch had most likely fainted after being poisoned. She had just woken up when Mo Fan returned, and almost took out her anger on innocent people like them.
Mo Fan had been roaming around the Fire Cloud Woods for almost a day. He did not expect someone to really steal the Fire Calamity Fruit and deal a fatal blow to the Fire Witch.
The icy spike had penetrated deep into the Fire Witch's flesh. If he pulled it out, the Fire Witch's life would be in danger. He had no idea how the Fire Witch had managed to suppress the icy poison to save her life.
How ruthless! What a vicious method!
The person who stole the Fire Calamity Fruit must be very familiar with the Fire Witch, to have purposely prepared a piece of magical equipment just to kill her!
Who was the one that took advantage of the Fire Witch's kindness toward humans?
The Fire Witch might be kind, but she was not stupid. Therefore, the person who had stabbed her with the deadly icy spike was someone she trusted, someone she was willing to lower her guard against.
…
"What should we do now?" Nan Jue reluctantly trusted Mo Fan after seeing the terrifying Fire Witch had left.
Luckily, they did not come to steal the Fire Calamity Fruit. The Fire Witch was indeed too strong.
"What else can we do? We'll have to figure out a way to go back. With how angry she is, I don't think those troublemakers in the Fire Cloud Woods will dare to show themselves, "Mo Fan said with a wry smile.
Mo Fan was still worried about Xinxia and the others. He had no idea where they were. Hopefully, they would not stumble into the infuriated Fire Witch …
"Mm? The Swift Star Wolf has returned to the Dimensional Space? "
Mo Fan was too shocked by the Fire Witch's aura to notice the Swift Star Wolf's return.
The Swift Star Wolf must have reached its limit and must return to its world. Mofan immediately communicated with the Swift Star Wolf and asked about Xinxia and the others' whereabouts.
The Swift Star Wolf appeared to be very tired. Before it fell asleep, it told Mofan that they had followed the other team back to Dunhuang City as quickly as possible.
Mo Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that they were safe and sound. However, Mo Fan couldn't understand why they were in such a hurry to return to Dunhuang City. Who were they with the other team?
They didn't wait for him and returned in a hurry. Could it be …
Damned Swift Star Wolf, why are you sleeping? Hurry up and tell me if it was those people who stole the Fire Calamity Fruit!
…
…
Inside the Drifting Sand River, Zhao Yulin and the others were fully prepared. They were able to cross the terrifying river safely even without the help of a Psychic Magician.
"Luckily, I was extra careful. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to cross the Drifting Sand River … the Fire Witch will have to cross the Drifting Sand River to leave the Burning Valley. The ruler of the Drifting Sand River will keep her busy, giving us an opportunity to leave," the man in white cloth sitting on the Desert Fiery Horse said with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Chen Ying, you've done well this time. The liquid of the Fire Calamity Fruit was able to cure your mother's illness, and the rest of the fruit is still very useful …" Zhao Yulin was leading the team with a smile on his face.
He never thought they would be able to retrieve the Fire Calamity Fruit so easily. Was the Fire Witch really an intelligent creature? Why did Zhao Yulin feel like she was just an idiot with a low IQ? Why did she actually trust them?
"I …" Chen Ying was about to say something, but she was suddenly lost for words.
On the back of another Desert Fiery Horse, Ling Ling was sitting at the front, while Xinxia was sitting in the middle.
They had witnessed everything that had happened, but it was still too unbelievable.
According to Chen Ying's description, the Fire Witch must have saved Chen Ying's mother's life, and had lived with her for a few years. As such, when they first entered the Fire Cloud Forest, it was normal for the Fire Witch to treat them kindly.
However, they had no idea that the Fire Witch was the guardian of the Fire Calamity Fruit, nor did they expect Chen Ying's mother to ask Chen Ying to ambush the Fire Witch …
As a matter of fact, Xinxia and Ling Ling were having a hard time accepting the fact that they were being ungrateful.
However, perhaps it was because Chen Ying's mother's burned face was twisted in despair, even though she was her savior, she still chose to ambush the Fire Witch in order to regain her life.
"Ling Ling, what do you think?" asked Xinxia softly.
"It's strange, I feel like things aren't as simple as we thought. However, the Fire Witch must have set her eyes on us. We have to leave this place no matter what, "replied Ling Ling.
"Mmm," Xinxia nodded.
… …
The group fled for their lives. After crossing the Drifting Sand River, Zhao Yulin and Chen Ying's mother, Jiang Feng, finally let out sighs of relief.
In the North Burning Valley, no one could stand a chance against the Fire Witch. It was the ruler of the place, unbeatable.
However, it was a different story after crossing the Drifting Sand River. For some reason, the Drifting Sand River had become restless. If the Fire Witch were to chase after them, it would have to consider if it was strong enough to take on the Drifting Sand Bone Dragon while it was severely injured!
The Fire Witch's aura was too strong. If it showed up close to the Drifting Sand River, it would immediately awaken the ruler of the Drifting Sand River, giving them enough time to return to Shanghai.
… …
After successfully making it back to Dunhuang City, Zhao Yulin knew it was unwise to stay any longer. As such, he had no intention of staying any longer. He took a private jet that he had prepared beforehand and left the place.
The airways were considered safe too. Normally, they would perfectly avoid the territories of demon creatures. In addition to that, the airlines would regularly send powerful Magicians to clean up the airways that might show up. Therefore, even though the plane was a dangerous means of transportation, as long as it maintained a certain altitude and concealed the energy emitted by the Mechanical Magic Stones, it would not be a problem.
In order to avoid being tracked by the Fire Witch through the aura of the Fire Calamity Fruit, Zhao Yulin and Jiang Feng purposely flew south. After resting in Xiamen, they immediately flew back to Shanghai …
Even though the Fire Witch was able to fly, she would have to pass through the territories of many demon creatures. The rulers of the demon creatures were not to be trifled with, thus there was no reason for her to travel so recklessly.
On the other hand, if she were to follow the airways that were considered safe, the Magic Association and the airlines would surely detect her presence, and Super Magicians would come and take her out. As such, they would be safe as long as they left Dunhuang City.
Zhao Manyan, Ling Ling, Xinxia, and Zhang Xiaohou were initially planning to stay in Dunhuang to wait for Mofan, but Zhao Yulin did not give them any room for negotiation. He forcefully brought them away.
Zhao Yulin's strength was outstanding. It did not matter how much they disagreed. As such, they were forced to return to Shanghai.
