Chapter 142 Peruvian Gobi Valley
The wind blew on everyone's face, and they felt a wave of heat. Fortunately, Lu Jie had the Mu Nu Jiao version of portable air conditioning, so even if it was hot, she had her icy touch.
"What trouble have you run into?" Mo Fan asked Lu Jie as he listened to everyone talking about the Gobi Valley incident a while ago. Having just returned to the team, he couldn't join the discussion group, so he looked at Lu Jie and asked.
"It's not too much trouble. There was an ancient city about 70 kilometers away from Hanmi City a while ago. The locals said that there was thunder and lightning and strange phenomena there, so there might be some good stuff. The resources our mentor gave us are definitely not enough. Now, apart from challenging the National Pavilion, we will try our best to search for treasures," Lu Jie said.
The world is vast and full of wonders. Many of the truly powerful individuals have acquired treasures and unique resources through their trials, which is how they gradually reach the pinnacle of life. Therefore, serendipitous encounters are very important.
"Wind and thunder clashing, the ruins of the desert city, this is interesting..." Mo Fan muttered to himself.
He lowered his head and glanced at the Condensed Evil Pearl in his hand.
Ever since it landed in South America, this thing has been reacting. The direction the light is pointing to is the Desert City Ruins that Lu Jie mentioned. It seems that there is energy in the Desert City Ruins that can fill this thing.
"What an interesting sight! To enter the Ruins Desert City, you have to cross a narrow Gobi valley formed by a fault line in the earth. That's the only road to the Ruins Desert City. We tried it before. It's inhabited by a group of stone elemental creatures. They're tough and incredibly strong. If it weren't for Lu Jie, we almost wouldn't have made it out," Jiang Yu said with a bitter face.
"I don't think there's any treasure in here at all. Who knows what terrible things might be inside? We don't need to risk our lives for the unknown," Zujiming said.
"You're such a coward!" Jiang Shaoxu scolded irritably.
She despises spineless people the most, those who back down at the slightest provocation.
"I'm such a coward. If you have a way to cross the Gobi Valley, then go to the next place. Don't waste your time here!" Zu Jiming said irritably.
"No, I think there's some good treasure there, what if it's a soul seed?" Mo Fan said.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
The only one in the team with a Soul Seed is Lu Jie. Just look at how powerful Lu Jie's azure flames are, and he's also quite skilled at planting trees.
Soul Seeds are treasures that even the most powerful backers might not be able to readily offer. Whoever obtains a Soul Seed at a high level will experience a dramatic increase in combat power!
Not only will the power of magic increase, but you will also gain a powerful domain!
"Mo Fan is right. What if there's a soul seed? Even from this distance, we can detect the intense anomalies in the wind and lightning elements. Fortunately, this place is sparsely populated, and no other mages have noticed it yet. We must seize this opportunity; missing it would be a huge loss." Jiang Yu suggested that they try again.
"Naive. Do you think a soul seed can appear so easily?" Guan Yu scoffed at this.
It's incredibly dangerous, what's with this talk of a soul seed? They must be desperate for one.
"Actually, crossing the Gobi Valley wasn't as difficult as I thought. Those stone elemental creatures have no eyes and their senses are very dull. They rely entirely on the slight vibrations of the earth and stone walls to detect the intruders' movements," Nan Jue said.
"We can't fly either. There are some black sun bats on the fault walls on both sides. Even if we fly over the Gobi Valley, we'll be surrounded by them. The airspace of demons is the most inviolable territory," Zhao Manyan said, shaking his head.
This rich guy has winged magical artifacts, but flying is the most dangerous thing. Demons within a radius of tens of kilometers will lock onto you like searchlights.
"I worked through the night two days ago to create an elemental device that can alter earthquakes. Even if we walk through their territory, we won't disturb them. However, this elemental device needs to be placed, laid out like a tangram puzzle, so that people can walk between it," Nan Jue said.
"Then let's give it a try."
"Yeah, I don't want to miss this opportunity either."
This elemental instrument emits weak ground waves, making the surface structure more stable and preventing any fluctuations caused by people's footsteps.
……
After leaving Hanmi City, everyone headed towards the Gobi Valley.
"Alright, what should we do now?" Guan Yu stood in front of the Gobi Valley with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression on his face.
Upon entering the Gobi Valley, the geology changed noticeably. It was no longer the dry, orange-yellow color, but instead showed some red, and the entire Gobi Valley turned a dark red!
The formation of this Gobi Valley is quite spectacular.
The vast land is divided into two layers. To the west, it rises abruptly, revealing a continuous cliff parallel to the horizon. The cliff is like a magnificent city wall, blocking the originally flat terrain and seemingly dividing it into another world.
The high-altitude ground was scorching hot rock, intensely baked by the sun, with frighteningly high temperatures. Even high-level mages felt as if they were walking on flames, making it absolutely difficult to pass through.
The only area with a slightly normal temperature is the long valley, where sunlight cannot penetrate, so the temperature is much lower than the upper ground.
The ruins of Mo City lie on the other side of this high-rise land, an ancient sacred land almost isolated from the world, protected by the scorching Longping Mountain. This kind of place, which has never been explored by humans and is even difficult for demons to enter, is most likely to give birth to rare and precious materials.
This is also the main reason why everyone has been lingering here for so many days.
"There are three elemental instruments in total, spaced one hundred meters apart. So we need one person to move the elemental instruments forward and another person to retrieve them so we can continue," Nan Jue said.
"I'll go first," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Hmm, the stone elementals ahead aren't too strong. Your spatial magic shouldn't alert them," Nan Jue said.
"Why not just send the elemental device forward using your mind?" Mo Fan asked.
Nan Jue shook his head and said, "No, this elemental instrument still needs to be manually calibrated. Different geological conditions require different frequencies."
"All right……"
At this moment, Nan Jue buried an elemental instrument, which resembled a spinning top, at the entrance of the Gobi Valley. After manually adjusting it, she signaled Ai Jiangtu to set off once the instrument began to flash green light.
Ai Jiangtu nodded, set up a spatial constellation, and teleported away in a flash, then placed the next elemental instrument.
During this time, eerie sounds came from the stone walls on both sides of the Gobi Valley. Stone faces emerged on the stone walls, becoming more and more three-dimensional, until gradually the entire head detached from the stone wall.
Fortunately, Ai Jiangtu had placed the elemental instrument properly, and the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, looking bewildered, merged into the stone wall and went to sleep.
