Flaming Mountain

In fact, he did not do much. After Fang Xuan bought a simple insect hunting index and dry rations at the market, he returned to the Divine Palace and entered the teleportation point.

There were countless teleportation points on the continent, and most of them were set up by guilds, academies, and other public organizations. For example, the teleportation arrays set up by individuals were basically set up by powerful people from relatively large families. Ordinary people naturally did not have the fortune to enjoy them.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and wrapped himself in a thin layer of energy. He walked into the teleportation array alone and in the next moment, he clearly felt the scorching heat in the air beside him.

Even though he had already put up a protective shield, the surface of his skin still felt painful and itchy from the burning. At the same time, the energy shield on his body actually began to emit white smoke.

"So this is the Blazing Mountain…"

At the same time, the token in his hand began to change rapidly.

The front was still the "one" that represented the cultivation realm, while the back had become his mission target.

Fire Stinger Mosquito 0/15

Flame Commander 0/1

He took a deep breath and immediately shot forward like a stream of light. Maintaining defense here consumed too much energy. He had to end the battle quickly.

This place lived up to its name. There were volcanic craters of all sizes everywhere. Ordinary plants had no chance of survival here, and the resources were pitifully few. However, there were still a lot of fire-elemental herbs along the way.

This should be the northwest of the Canglan Empire. It was said that this place was barren and uninhabited. It was the complete opposite of the sea in the northeast. Seeing it today, it was indeed the case.

Just as they were about to reach the foot of the volcano, the fire-type medicinal herbs nearby became denser and denser. Fang Xuan stopped in his tracks and summoned three ants.

"Go on."

With a thought, the three ant soldiers split into three groups and ran quickly. The fire-elemental herbs along the way were instantly devoured without a trace. The ant insects were like weed killers as they explored and swallowed. Their speed was astonishing.

Fang Xuan did not stay idle either. He opened the insect hunting index. On it, it said that the closer one was to the Flame Mountain, the more fire-type mosquitoes there would be. The Flame Commander was at the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a whistling sound could be heard.

At the same time, a fist-sized fireball arrived in front of Fang Xuan faster than the sound.

In the blink of an eye, the latter immediately raised his hand, and an ant stood proudly in his palm. The fireball instantly turned into nourishment and was swallowed by the ant.

Damn it, let your ancestors educate you.

With this thought in mind, he raised his hand and threw the ant straight at the fire-element mosquito.

Fire element mosquitoes were different from most insects. They did not rely on bloodthirsty bites to attack. Instead, they had concentrated fire energy in their stomachs and usually relied on concentrated energy to attack.

However, it was obvious that the intelligence of this creature was inferior to the Thousand-legged Worm. As it watched the ant fly towards it, it was still tilting its head in thought.

By the time it reacted and tried to counterattack, everything was over. A knuckle-sized hole had already appeared in the mosquito's chest. Then, it slowly fell from the sky. The ant on the ground took advantage of the fact that it had yet to land to eat.

The number on the token jumped 1/15

At this moment, the nearby fire herbs had basically been eaten. The ant's resistance to fire had increased to a heaven-defying level.

This ability was also transmitted to Fang Xuan himself. He tried to remove the protective shield and no longer felt any discomfort.

"However, it seems like I don't have to do it myself…"

Fang Xuan muttered to himself.

In front of him, five ants were chasing more than ten fire-element mosquitoes.

At this moment, no matter how stupid the fire element mosquitoes were, they still had a basic desire to survive. At this moment, they turned into a group of headless flies and flew everywhere.

On the other hand, although the ant's size was small, its jumping ability was terrifyingly high. Every time it spread its legs, it would jump dozens of feet high. Almost every time it attacked, there would be casualties.

Fang Xuan stretched his back and no longer paid attention to the battle on the other side. He slowly walked towards the volcano.

At this moment, there was no longer the restriction of the flame energy. Walking here was like taking a stroll in the back garden. Naturally, there was no need to be too anxious.

'Eh, what's that?'

Over a hundred meters away, a plant was exposed to his field of vision.

This plant was fiery red in color and was wrapped in a layer of red mist. Even if Fang Xuan tried his best to look, he could only make out that it was a plant. It was as if the mist could distort space.

He took three steps and arrived in front of the plant. Only then did he see its full appearance—Flaming Lingzhi.

This kind of plant had extremely harsh growing conditions. It would only grow in places with abundant fire energy. Moreover, its temperature was extremely high. If one did not have the fire attribute, they would not be able to pick it. It was something that many alchemists loved and hated.

"This is good stuff."

Fang Xuan didn't put up any defense. His hands directly touched the ground and dug out the soil along with the roots of the Flame Lingzhi. He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and was about to take it away.

At this moment, a slight vibration came from the token.

Fire Stinger Mosquito 15/15

Time: One minute.

It broke the hundred-year record.

Fang Xuan glanced at the token and the jade bottle before putting them into his Spatial Ring.

This thing was too eye-catching. It was better to put it away first.

He turned around and was about to climb the volcano when he felt a sense of danger.

Fang Xuan's footsteps stopped there. A young girl who was about his age had appeared in front of him.

The girl had a pair of big porcelain doll-like eyes and an exquisite figure. Her two ponytails were scattered playfully behind her back to her waist. She held a spear that was even taller than her in her hand, and there was a faint flame dancing on the tip of the spear.

"You took away the Flame Lingzhi just now, right? Hand it over, or don't blame me for hurting you."

Her tone was unyielding and cold. There was a disdainful smile on her face, as if she was naturally superior to Fang Xuan.

The latter snickered.

"I was wondering what it was. So it's a young lady. The people of this barren land in the northwest are indeed simple and honest. However, isn't the price of a Flame Lingzhi too high?"

The young girl's face immediately darkened. The spear in her hand pointed at Fang Xuan, and her aura continued to rise bit by bit.

Fang Xuan was already prepared. He held a dagger in one hand and an ant in the other in front of him.

He did not know how many times he had seen this kind of trash. It was just a dog that relied on its master's power. He could just kill it. Judging from this person's equipment, her background should not be bad. He did not know if there was an old ghost by her side… At this moment, a loud sound came from the top of the mountain. Countless hot gravel rolled down with magma.

"Oh no, could it be that the Flame Commander has appeared? You brat, I'll settle the score with you after I complete my mission. Live well with my Flame Lingzhi."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned into a red stream of light and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Fang Xuan also retracted his tense muscles and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the young girl's back and then sped towards the top of the mountain.
