Chapter 104: Crimson Death

Cao Guang had not thought that Little Flame Belle would reach this stage so soon. It had completely thrown off his trip to fight Desolate Beasts for loot. He sped the way he came back to Northguard Fortress making him the butt of jokes among traders who bought back the Camel Beast.

Yet he didn't care as he needed to help his daughter evolve or she was serious danger of dying. His first thought was to take her to Northern Burning Valley and take her mother's help when he remembered another piece of information that was nearby.

He called Fei Jiao in the middle of the night to confirm his theory.

"Kid, why are you calling me now?"

" My contracted beast has reached its evolutionary limit"

" Wait, as I recall you haven't reached the Advanced level in Summoning have you?"

" Nope"

" I see your problem but are you planning to do?"

When an elemental creature reached it evolutinary potential it needed large amounts of Elemental resources to help it evolve. If the creature was unable to get the resources it needed, it would evolve anyway when the time came but it's odds of death during the evolution was more than seventy percent.

It was also the reason why the vast majority of those creatures had gone extinct. The Flame Belle of Dunhuang were lucky to have survived till now, between humans and demon beasts.

Humans got on with Elemental creatures just fine as they didn't eat meat or the energy contained in other organisms rather ores or soul seeds and such.

" I plan to have her be incubated in an Elemental Sacred land"

" But I thought the Northern Burning Valley was at a point of eradication"

" That's not the one, I have heard rumours of an elemental sacred land being discovered by military mages not far from an outpost in Taklamakan Desert"

" Are you crazy, that's an unexplored area, we have no idea what sort of demon beasts inhabit the area, no survey of the place has been done since it was found a WEEK AGO!"

"Kid are you sure, I am not in Ancient Capital and can't come to help you out. Your teacher is going to skin me if I let you die."

" It's not like I have a choice now, I am close to Taklamakan right now. I just need acess to the military outpost in the desert. You know I am leave after the idea for the formation was pitched. I don't have the time to convince everyone that I need to be back."

" Fine, I'll make the call, but you better come out of there alive"

Cao Guang was in a similar state when he made the trip to Northern Burning Valley, he wasn't strong enough to make his way across the Man Eating Sand across the valley that bridged the area, alone.

He needed to hitch a ride with the military over there since there was an outpost over there anyway. He kind of regretted not buy a Soul grade seed for the Flame Belle instead of that Raiju Soul that he bought for Fenrir and was left to stew in his storage space.

Cao Guang travelled to the relay station by travelling with the military squad that was bringing some items to the relay station. They had brought the items on a military plane and were now leading them to the isolated relay station.

The leader of the party was a Lieutenant called Tong Xuan. In fact Cao Guang knew the guy from his time in Bo. He was suprised to see it was the same person. Apparently he had been transferred as well. He was now under a Colonel Shi.

"Lieutenant Tong, we meet again"

"It's you kid, I haven't see you in years, you have certainly grown up. Zhan Kong would be happy to see you."

Cao Guang was even more suprised when he saw two soldiers he helped out in magic City to eliminate a group of Viscera Hunters. He believed they were called Zhang Dan and Zhang Qihu.

The combination of names gave him a sense of de ja vu all of sudden as memories of the canon came bursting in to his mind.

Fu*k it's Shi Qianshou's men, the guy who unleashed the calamity on the worst demon beasts here in Taklamakan, Sandstorm Demon Locusts. He wants to take the Earth Pistil. Why did it have to now, how I am supposed to stop a Super Mage.
