Chapter 1140: Chapter 390: Fiery Flame Canyon (Part 4)

It seems…

This matter isn’t as simple as many people in the school think.

When he returned to Mogaro’s side, the investigation team was still in discussion.

“But there is one situation that’s quite strange. According to records in ancient texts, the Hellfire rock giants usually cultivate Hellfire crystal cores inside their bodies,” Mogaro said.

“Yet the crystal cores inside these Hellfire rock giants are all gone.”

“Although not every Hellfire rock giant would nurture a crystal core, there are at least six carcasses on site. If none of them have crystal cores, this situation is very peculiar.”

“Could it be that the ancient texts are incorrect?” Another Second Level Wizard said after pondering for a moment.

“After all, Hellfire rock giants are foreign creatures, and Ancient Wizards might not fully understand them. Maybe some of the content is personal speculation?”

“Is it possible that other Hellfire rock giants took the Hellfire crystal cores when they returned?” someone else suggested.

“This…”

Mogaro initially wanted to refute the first viewpoint, but when he heard the second one, he hesitated.

After all, he isn’t very knowledgeable about these foreign creatures, the Hellfire rock giants.

What he knows comes from the records of ancient texts. He genuinely doesn’t know whether other Hellfire rock giants would take their kind’s crystal cores.

“We will stay for two days to observe the situation deep in Furious Flame Canyon.”

“I will discuss with the Shandelle School to send more personnel; everyone, stay alert!” Deputy Sect Leader Bradley pronounced decisively.

…

Then, the investigation team and replacement personnel settled in the station, but for three consecutive days, everything was peaceful.

As usual, occasionally, one or two Evil Fire Elements would run out from the depths of the canyon.

As a presence that even a First Level Wizard at peak can handle, having so many high-level members of the school here is excessively wasteful.

Soon, Mentor Mogaro and others began returning, but Deputy Sect Leader Bradley stayed behind.

Due to the special environment and conditions of Fiery Flame Canyon, within the canyon, there are abundant herbs favoring high temperatures, such as rare Fiery Flame Mushrooms and Flame Flowers.

Many wizards stationed there would form groups or search for herbs on their own during rest periods.

“Audrey, how about we explore the surroundings together? I heard the Flesh Series found several Fiery Flame Mushrooms for two consecutive days,” recently, Paul from the Clay Series seemed to be making advances toward Audrey.

He often invites Audrey to do something together from time to time.

However, Audrey often declines, but Alicia is relatively proactive.

“Alright, Master Paul, Audrey, let’s go check it out together,” Alicia’s eyes lit up as she said.

These herbs are quite valuable, and submitting them to the school could earn substantial Contribution Points.

At this moment, Audrey’s beautiful eyes unintentionally glanced at Rein, as if seeking his opinion.

Rein thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

“Alright, let’s go together then, Rein junior, you too,” Audrey said.

Although the group size differed significantly from Paul’s expectations, since Audrey agreed to join, it’s considered progress.

Soon, the four of them headed deep into Furious Flame Canyon.

Along the way, although they didn’t find any Fiery Flame Mushrooms, they discovered two Flame Flowers, instantly making Alicia quite happy.

Suddenly, as they passed a corner in the canyon, they felt a wave of heat hitting them.

An elemental creature towering about two and a half meters tall, burning with faint green flames and resembling a large green balloon, suddenly appeared several dozen meters away.

“It’s an Evil Fire Element, everyone, be careful!” Alicia exclaimed.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Paul said confidently with a smile.

He was worried about having no place to showcase his strength, and unexpectedly, an Evil Fire Element came straight to them.

He quickly reached into his chest with his right hand and took out a crystal emitting an earth-yellow witchcraft light, and began chanting rapidly.

Quickly, the crystal started to shine and projected a faint green Reverse Pentagram Array on the ground.

“Summon! Clay Monster!”

Suddenly, the ground illuminated by the projection began to flash large patches of yellow light, trembling violently and bulging.
