Grim spent only 2 hours in the lava sea before returning to the underground tunnel.

And it can be seen that the two hours of exploration have not consumed much of his strength.

For this, Frena, who accompanied her, showed her heartfelt admiration.

With her Rank 2 Intermediate strength, she could barely support a quarter of an hour in the lava sea. And although the third-order wizards in Molten City held on for a longer time, they were only barely surviving. Once they encountered that Rank 3 Flame Tiger, in the special environment of the Lava Sea, their own strength would not be able to exert themselves.

The low-level anti-* agent is okay to deal with the general flame environment, but it is not enough to face the abyss-like fluid lava and the ferocious and cunning third-order flame tiger.

If this is not the case, how could the powerful Molten City expose its ugliness and ask for help from the outside world.

Therefore, seeing that the invited wizard of Grim was like a fish in water in the lava sea and could cope with it easily, Freyna was also sincerely happy from the bottom of her heart.

"I have a basic understanding of the environment here...... Let's go back!" Grim looked relaxed, and even a few Molten City wizards had a smile on their faces.

The two stationed wizards hurriedly brandished their special magic wands to re-seal the entrance.

As Grim was about to leave, accompanied by Frena, he glanced back at the slowly closing stone door, a meaningful smile on his lips.

…………

The depths of the lava sea.

The tumbling and converging magma fluid was as thick as jelly, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary wizards to navigate through it, even if they reached the level of fire immunity.

So, real fire creatures have their own unique set of movements!

After Grim left, the lava sea returned to calm again, continuing to flow in accordance with the rhythm it had developed for so long. Although the speed is not as fast and ferocious as the surface river, it is also unstoppable.

However, in the midst of this surging magma fluid, a strange red gem was also tumbling and floating with the current.

When the time reaches a certain set 'singularity', the surface of the gem covered with strange and intricate patterns suddenly lights up with a little red glow. This red glow was so inconspicuous in the dark red lava sea, but it quickly stained the entire gem.

The elemental gem frantically absorbed the surrounding fire element, which was so rich that it was almost substantial, and then quickly outlined a flame humanoid of nearly 2 meters. When a large amount of fire elemental fills the interior of the flame humanoid, a new 'Grim' is born in the depths of the lava sea!

This is a new type of fire sorcery based on the Golem Crystal Nucleus, doped with some parasitic and projection techniques, and incidentally copied some of the basic functions of the chip - Flame Clone.

With the help of the surging elemental vibration of the lava sea, the flame clone dodged the rune witch array attached to the underground tunnel, and as soon as it condensed and formed, it quickly swam and flashed, moving towards the depths of the lava sea.

Due to the immaturity of the technique, this flame clone only has the strength of the second order primary, and it may not be suitable to be used as a thug, but it is more than enough to be an eyeliner and a 'messenger'.

As a pure fire creature, the Flame Clone only has a 2nd order, but it moves normally in the lava sea and copes with ease. And as it cruises into the depths of the lava sea, it transmits a sound in all directions in the elemental language peculiar to fire creatures.

Sindar ...... Sindar ...... Sindar ......

This voice is not loud or surging, but it can be transmitted far, far with the help of the ubiquitous fire element here......

Until this strange voice was captured by a strange being.

It is a lava boulder the size of a hill.

The soft and fragile soil and rocks on the surface have been eroded by the lava sea, and what remains is a huge metal ore that is difficult to cope with even the heat of the lava sea. From a distance, the lava boulder is full of pits, honeycomb holes, and its surface is densely covered with sparkling strange metals.

It is the existence of these strange metals that prevents the further erosion of the lava sea, and allows the lava boulders to survive in this terrifying environment.

However, at this moment, a strange flame tiger more than 3 meters long and wrapped in raging flames was lying on its stomach in a small nest dug out of the center of the lava boulder, sleeping comfortably with its eyes closed. On its side, this small cavern was filled with metal ores of various shapes and sizes, as well as a large number of magical gems.

Through the translucent body of the Flame Tiger, a purple-red metal ore could be vaguely seen hoarding in its abdomen, wrapped in a stream of red flames. Every time a layer of molten metal is eroded, the Flame Tiger will instantly suck it into its body and integrate it into its body.

If Grim were here, he would definitely be surprised to find that as that purple gold ore liquid slowly merged into the Flame Tiger's body, the power aura on its body gradually became stronger.

It's just that the growth of this aura is extremely slow, and if it weren't for the nano-level scanning and perception ability of the chip in Grim's brain, I'm afraid it wouldn't be detectable at all.

This growth in power is slow, but it is also real.

If this Flame Tiger can be given enough time and enough Purple Gold Ore, I am afraid that it is really possible to use this method to push its strength to the peak state of the 3rd Order.

This...... It's already amazing!

In the past two years, since discovering that there was a constant gold mine in that metal vein, the flame tiger Sindar has been entrenched here and nostalgic, and from time to time he has run to the human stronghold to loot some things he needs.

It's a pity that Hengjin ore is also a relatively tight thing for the other party, and after several times, although a lot of miscellaneous metal ores have been looted, there are very few Hengjin mines that Sindar urgently needs.

As a last resort, Sindar had no choice but to open a hidden lair near the human stronghold and play guerrilla warfare with those human wizards.

However, today, just as Sindar was slowly and comfortably absorbing the essence of Hengjin, an inexplicable elemental ripple swept over its elemental condensed body.

Sindar ...... Sindar ......

Sindar jerked upright, a look of wonder on the flaming tiger's face.

How...... Why does it seem like someone is calling your name outside?

Could it be some kind of trickery played by those human wizards?

But how did his name come out? Could it be that the harsh environment of the lava sea could not hinder the prophecy of human wizards?

Despite his doubts, Sindal had no intention of staying here any longer.

With a churn of flames, Sindar the Flame Tiger had silently sneaked out of its lair, detouring in the direction from which the strange elemental ripples came from.

This feeling...... How is it a bit familiar?

…………

Lava in the sea.

Grim's flame clone walked through it quickly, constantly vibrating the magma fluid, embedding the message he wanted to convey into it, allowing it to slowly spread in the large sea of lava.

It's been an hour, and still nothing.

Hmm, could it be that the flame tiger has gone farther away?

The flame clone frowned slightly, and as soon as his body turned, he planned to change places and continue to 'broadcast'.

However, as soon as the flame clone turned around, he was surprised to find that a tall flame tiger composed of churning flames was standing behind it, looking at it curiously with a pair of strange eyes composed of golden flames.

The distance between the two sides is so close that it is almost audible.

The sulfur flames that erupted from the wings of the opponent's huge nose could almost ignite the skin of the flame clone.

"We know each other?" asked Sindar the Flame Tiger, curiously.

It's really, really very curious.

There was a vague sense of familiarity on the flame humanoid in front of him, but the other party's means of shaping the solid were very clever, if the flame humanoid's body was not smashed, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect the mental fluctuations hidden in the other party.

I seem to know only one wizard in the wizarding world...... But that guy is only a 2nd order, and it is impossible to condense a clone and run so far away to find him!

Just when Flame Tiger Sindar was in shock, the vague face of the flame clone suddenly shook, condensing Grim's appearance.

"Sindal, we've only been separated for a few days, and you don't know me?"

"Sure enough, it's you!" Sindal was stunned for a moment, and then raised his nose to the side of the flame clone and inhaled wildly, and then said in shock: "You...... You've been promoted?"

"Thanks to you, Sindal, I have gained a lot from the fire elemental plane. This was just a few years ago when I was promoted to Tier 3!"

"Your harvest is earned by your own ability, you don't need to pull it on me......" Sindal's golden eyes suddenly lit up: "You came here this time because the wizard in that stronghold invited you to come?"

"Not bad!"

"And what are you going to do to help them deal with me?" said this, Flame Tiger Sindar put on a fierce look.

"If I were hell-bent on dealing with you, do you think I'd send this clone here?"

Although this flame tiger is intelligent and cunning, its personality is still the same as that of other elemental creatures, and it does not have as many fancy intestines as human wizards.

"And what are you here for?" Sindal couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Before the negotiations, I think it's better for us to understand each other's needs...... I wonder why Lord Sindar has been entrenched here for a long time?"

Sindal hesitated.

In Grimm, it didn't feel any malice, so it hesitated for a moment and told the truth.

"I need the gold ore here!"

Receiving this answer, Grim immediately had a 'charming' smile on his face.

"Good...... Very good......"

"Good what?"

"Our interests don't conflict because what I need is Quelas ore ......"

Flame Tiger asked tentatively, "What do you mean, we can cooperate?"

"We have to work together! Maybe if the two of us plan well, we can come up with a perfect plan for a win-win situation......"
