'I hope I won't be too unlucky…' A bitter smile appeared on Lin Yun's exhausted face. Just after thinking about it, he suddenly felt frightening mana fluctuations rising up and the power that suddenly burst out could even make the heart of an Archmage skip a beat.
An explosion loudly echoed.
It was followed by complete silence.
The frantic mana fluctuations shrank back like a falling tide and the ground under his feet also stopped shaking.
”Hmm?”
This time, Lin Yun could clearly see that the Raising Dragon Array was already opened, exposing an ancient passage in which a flight of steps carved from stone could be seen. Lin Yun couldn't help feeling overjoyed when he saw this, but he noticed something as he approached the entrance of the passage.
'Why is the temperature so high…' At the entrance of the passage, he was assaulted by an extremely hot burning aura. He couldn't help frowning because of how hot it was.
In fact, the temperature of the Raging Flame Plane itself was high to begin with. Ordinary people simply couldn't endure such a high temperature, and the weaker ones might die.
But the heat from the passage was even more frightening, even hotter than the Sacred Land of the Thawing Fire Tribe. High Mages might end up dehydrated within a few minutes, and only Archmages or those stronger could endure and adapt to such an environment.
'Let's check it out first…'
Lin Yun looked at the passage and frowned. He knew that only by going through the passage could he have the opportunity to get the Chromatic Dragon Crystal.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
But just as he prepared to enter...
”That guy Mafa is busy all the time. Sir Thorne repeatedly notified him to go to the Flame Demon Fort to discuss some matters, but not even his shadow was seen… Sir Yuri, what are you doing blocking our path? We only want to see him, nothing more. He has been hiding here for over ten days, could there be some hidden secret?”
”Hmpf, Sir Thorne showed him some respect and personally came to look for him. Who does that Mafa think he is? Does he really consider himself a Planar Commander?”
These two irritating voices made Lin Yun feel irritated. He stopped and said, ”Sir Yuri, let them come…”
After a few minutes, five silhouettes slowly descended with Levitation. Both Yuri and Ida had sour expressions. ”Sorry, High Mage Mafa…”
”It's fine…” Lin Yun expressionlessly waved his hand. He then looked at the three uninvited guests, one of whom he recognized, Planar Commander Thorne. Lin Yun had never seen the two behind him, but from the mana fluctuations they emitted, he could accurately assess that these two were Archmages.
Thorne, who had just arrived at the bottom, quickly discovered the existence of the passage, especially the heat being emitted from within. He frowned in amazement and couldn't help but ask, ”What is this…?”
After the battle in the Sacred Land, Thorne had been running all over the place, firmly controlling the spoils of war of the Merlin Family. He would occasionally come across some important decisions that he planned on discussing with the young mage, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to get in touch with him.
He later heard that the young mage had entered the Ghost Valley early on and was doing something unknown there, not coming out.
After having several conflicts with the young mage without gaining any advantage over him, Thorne gradually realized that the young mage wasn't as simple as he had thought. He couldn't be underestimated even if he didn't possess the commanding authority over the squadron. Thorne hadn't gotten involved with the young mage's matters for over ten days...
Up until yesterday.
A deafening noise had come from the young mage's location. It seemed that a huge battle had taken place. Thorne had sent someone to get in touch with the young mage once again, but to no avail. They were stopped by Yuri Merlin before they could see him.
