Versatile Mage: Starting Contract Groudon

Chapter 80 Fire Cloud Forest, Flame Witch!

"Yeah, what the monkey said makes sense. Instead of giving up halfway, why not go in and explore? You can't just come here and leave without gaining anything, right?" Mo Fan said.

"In that case, let's continue exploring. No matter what, we need to leave this terrible Shawang River first," Lingling said.

Lingling was right. No matter what happened, we had to leave Shawang River first.

Everyone hurried forward. Xinxia was sitting on the back of the Swift Star Wolf. She closed her eyes and concentrated on clearing the way for everyone. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed all the time, indicating that the soothing she was doing might be resisted by the angry white sand giants.

Fortunately, everyone did not return to the Shawang River for too long. Not long after, the land with exposed rocks and gravel at the northern corner of the Burning Plain appeared in everyone's eyes.

After arriving at the riverside, Zhao Tingxi took the initiative to suggest: "If we are going to search for resources later, I suggest that we can separate a little bit."

"You want to act alone?" Lingling was smart and understood the hidden meaning of Zhao Tingxi's words.

"That's right," Zhao Tingxi did not deny it. "I came here not only to help Mo Fan find Yan Ji, but I also had something else to do."

"Is it too dangerous?" Lingling was a little worried about Zhao Tingxi's safety: "Zhuoyuan is not a very safe place. If you act alone, you may easily encounter danger."

Zhao Tingxi patted Lingling's head and said, "Don't worry, you know my strength. I am stronger than all of them combined. My safety is guaranteed. If things really don't work out, I can run away quickly."

"Okay, please be safe."

Mo Fan, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, “Old Zhao, if you are in danger, don’t come to us. If you can’t handle the trouble, then we have no way to deal with it.”

"Get lost!" Zhao Tingxi scolded with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll contact you when I leave later!"

Zhao Tingxi's purpose was very clear. He wanted to find the Star Language Tree right now. He wanted to absorb some energy from it. With the energy of the Star Language Tree, his plants would be able to be fire-resistant with a high probability.

Thanks to the lava constellation bestowed by Groudon, Zhao Tingxi's perception of the fire element is also very strong, so he can easily find the location of the freight forest and pick up a few spirit seeds along the way.

The leaves of the Fire Cloud Tree love the scorching sun the most, and also absorb the heat in the air and turn it into nutrients for the whole tree. The amount of sunlight and heat that each leaf can absorb is limited. Their lifespan will end in about seven days, and new Fire Cloud Tree leaves will replace them. So this flat-topped mountain is covered with these fiery red leaves like maple leaves, turning into a bright red carpet. Walking on it, you can feel the temperature and softness that is different from ordinary land.

Zhao Tingxi regretted a little when he stepped into the Fire Cloud Forest. This forest was simply a maze. Every tree looked exactly the same, even the same size. The fiery red fallen leaves all over the ground made it impossible to tell the direction.

Even though he had a strong fire element perception, he was still greatly limited here. Because the concentration of fire element here was very high and evenly distributed. It was either impossible or troublesome to find the way.

So, Zhao Tingxi decided to call the Fire Witch directly and ask her to come out.

Zhao Tingxi directly showed the lava rune on his hand, and the lava rune flashed with a fiery light. The powerful aura of Zhao Tingxi was emitted through the lava rune. At the same time, the aura emitted also carried the meaning that Zhao Tingxi wanted to express: Junior Zhao Tingxi, I want to see Senior Jiang Feng.

Yes, the information Zhao Tingxi sent out was not about the Fire Witch, but the name Jiang Feng.

Others may not know, but Zhao Tingxi knows very well that the Fire Witch is Jiang Feng, Chen Ying's mother and Yan's biological daughter.

Soon, a fiery red and somewhat graceful figure appeared in front of Zhao Tingxi. It moved in a very strange and weird way, with its toes slightly raised and its legs kept suspended, floating over from a distance like a ghost.

It came to Zhao Tingxi's side. Although its body was made of flames, strangely, Zhao Tingxi did not feel the heat emanating from it.

"Senior, we can try to communicate." After seeing Jiang Feng, Zhao Tingxi took the initiative to say.

He wanted to make sure whether he could really communicate with these intelligent top creatures who were willing to communicate with him.

Zhao Tingxi saw something strange on Jiang Feng's face, and then Jiang Feng said, "You may not understand what I'm saying."

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Tingxi said with a smile. Now he is sure of his ability: "As long as you are willing to communicate with me, I can understand what you are saying. This is my own talent. When both parties are willing to communicate, we can ignore the language."

There are many things in the world. Although this kind of language talent is rare, it is not uncommon: "Your last name is Zhao, are you from the Zhao family?"

Zhao Tingxi quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I am an orphan, not a member of the Zhao family."

"Not from the Zhao family? Okay, then how do you know my identity?" Jiang Feng was a little curious about this question.

Judging from her current appearance, even her own mother might not be able to tell...

No, according to Yan's ability, there is a chance that he can recognize my identity face to face...

"It told me." Zhao Tingxi pointed to the lava rune on his hand. The lava rune exuded a trace of Groudon's aura: "It told me that you are a human, not a demon. Combined with some of the information I learned, I made a guess. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

Jiang Feng didn't really care about Zhao Tingxi's guess of her identity. Compared to this, Jiang Feng was more curious about the Groudon aura that Zhao Tingxi exuded. But she knew very well that now was not the time to ask about this: "In that case, tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me."

"I want to find the Star Language Tree to absorb some energy." As he spoke, several vines grew out of Zhao Tingxi's hands. "Although my plant system has reached a high level, I lack a suitable plant species. If I can obtain some energy from the Star Language Tree, my plant system will become much stronger, and I will also have the ability to be immune to fire."

"If you want to absorb the energy of the Star Language Tree, you have to give out something in return."
