The strong deserve respect, and those who are not strong but work hard to be promoted should also be respected.

Deep down in his heart, Captain Yasi was a little dismissive of Chongyang's crazy and risky move for the sake of strength, but the other party's strong desire to become stronger was worthy of admiration.

Of course, maybe the other party is not telling the truth or not telling the whole truth, but it is a simple business, and Yasi doesn't want to pursue it too much.

The two sides immediately began to negotiate the price, Chongyang had Haidewei as a staff officer, and the head of Yasi himself had a good reputation and did not deceive customers, so the price was quickly negotiated. Chongyang obtained a map of the periphery of Phoenix Mountain for 5,000 amethyst coins.

"It's true that this map is not as accurate as the one in the hands of the Sphinx, but it definitely guarantees the credibility of the specific information on it. In addition, out of respect for Mr. Chongyang, who is also a fire magician, for his passion for the way of magic, I would like to send you an additional piece of news. Yasz said.

"Now in the same restaurant, the leader of the Sphinx Adventure Group, Raphael @ Blunde, is discussing a business with a customer related to Phoenix Mountain. It seems to be talking about something very valuable, so the secrecy is very vigilant, and it seems that I don't want anyone to know even a little bit of the inside story. ”

“...... It is estimated that they have also recently gone up the mountain. My advice is that Mr. Chongyang had better avoid them. Otherwise, in order to keep the secrets of some spiritual creatures, they will be very ruthless. ”

There is fierce competition between adventurers, and the existence, location, and even picking methods of some wild spirit creatures are all exclusive secrets, and it is extremely taboo for other adventurers to find out. In the lawless wilderness, it is not uncommon to forcibly expel or even kill people in order to keep the secret of the adventure.

"I see, thanks for the message. Chongyang nodded, thanking Captain Yasi for his kind reminder.

"I hope Mr. Chongyang will go well in his practice. Captain Yasi smiled. In his heart, he was thinking that unless this very personable imperial capital magician personally realized the horror of Phoenix Mountain after entering the mountain and turned back in time, it was very likely that he would never see him again.

......

After obtaining the adventure map, Chongyang quickly obtained some other necessary materials with the help of Headway and stored them in the Space Ring. It was almost evening, so I had to wait until the next morning.

At night, staying in a guest room of the Broken Rock City Magic Association, Chongyang carefully reads the map of Phoenix Mountain that he obtained from Captain Yasi.

Judging from the map, the Phoenix Mountain in the wild and dangerous land is huge, and the outer area alone is probably many times larger than the entire Broken Rock City. In the meantime, the forests are swampy, the peaks and cliffs are very complex, and the terrain is very complex. There are many magical beasts, and there are many dangerous areas.

"If you don't have this map, don't say go to the core, it's a dead end to the outskirts. Chongyang sighed. Five thousand amethyst coins for a map, expensive, but worth it.

Chongyang believed that there must be a wider and more accurate map hidden in the Jucarus School, and this one in his hand was not the most detailed, because after all, the other party would definitely keep one hand. But enough is enough, he wasn't there to venture out for treasure hunting in the first place. Finding a way into the core is his main purpose.

"There are ...... routes that can get to the core area the fastest," Chongyang carefully examined, planning the direction and path he might take tomorrow.

Dawn.

Before Chongyang left, he thanked the people of the Broken Rock City Magic Association and gave Hideaway an amethyst coin as a reward for the tour guide. Headway politely said a few words and accepted it.

"The people of the imperial capital are really generous. It's a pity, why do you want to die?" Headway sent Chongyang to the city gate, watched Chongyang's back leave, sighed, and turned back to the Magic Association.

......

Outside of Phoenix Mountain.

Although he had been mentally prepared through the map, Chongyang looked at the incomparably lush woods in the distance on a hillside, and the huge peaks towering in the blurred clouds, and still couldn't help but sigh: This Phoenix Mountain is really too big!

Enter the endless jungle, in this inaccessible wilderness, the layer under your feet is full of deep accumulation of dead leaves. The ancient trees stand silently like ancient giants.

"The air was so dreary, and the smell of corruption was strong. Chongyang wiped the beads of sweat from his head, "And the deeper you go, the stronger the feeling of the fire element." ”

Phoenix Mountain even attracted the fire system of the ancestral phoenix to inhabit the land of the mysterious spirit. On the periphery of this Phoenix Mountain, most of the plants that grow are also biased towards the fire attribute. Chongyang recognized a lot of famous wood, even if he used fire magic to burn it, it might not be able to burn it.

Although the environment is a little uncomfortable, it is okay for Chongyang, who has undergone the test of purgatory in the meditation space.

He cautiously and quickly followed the proposed route, avoiding natural hazards and places where powerful demonic beasts were entrenched. However, no matter how cautious you are, the danger cannot be completely avoided.

Passing through a giant crimson tree, on top of the giant tree, a huge red lizard with a body length of nearly two meters stuck upside down on the bark of the tree, like a gecko, and its body color almost blended with the surface color of the giant tree.

It stared at the black-haired youth below, its round yellow eyes rolling its eyes, and its long tongue spit out greedily.

Call...... Silently, with its limbs covered with fleshy pads, it slammed straight down from the giant tree, and in an instant, it opened its blood basin and bit the back of Chongyang's head!

Peng!

Chongyang sensed the movement and quickly rolled around at the last minute to avoid it. The lizard's large mouth missed his head and slammed into the ground.

Instantaneous - "Ring Air Blast!"

There was a loud bang, and violent green fireworks erupted between the cracks of the trees, and the rolling heat wave blew away a circle of dead leaves around it.

Being in the fire elemental advantageous environment, the power of the Ring Air Explosion Technique is increased, but ......

The red lizard is not dead!

It was just blown away, crashing into another tree, and before it even hit the ground, it rolled and stuck to the bark of the tree, its round yellow eyes flashing with rage.

"The demonic beasts of the fire elemental environment are also very resistant to flames!" Chongyang gasped slightly. In the fire environment, the fire mage fights the fire type of demonic beasts, in fact, no one is particularly advantageous.

I don't know how many levels of red lizards are crawling along the bark of trees, and from time to time abruptly leaping from one tree to another, extremely fast! Ordinary people may lose their sight of it all at once.

However, Chongyang greatly strengthened his body and five senses with the aurora potion, and at this time, his pupils contracted, and he firmly locked on the opponent who was scurrying around with his strong dynamic vision, and at the moment when the red lizard pounced again, he raised his staff to aim at-

"Air Blast!"

The green fireworks almost exploded in the mouth of the red lizard, blasting it six or seven meters away, hitting the surface of the tree and falling to the ground.

Chongyang thought that he had at least seriously injured it, but he saw it jump up suddenly, and opened its mouth to spray a fireball in this direction!

Right somersault! Perfect dodge!Fireball blasted into a giant tree behind him, burning the skin of the giant tree completely and scorching it completely.

Taking advantage of the heavy sun to dodge, the red lizard shook its body, flashed to the tree and climbed at high speed, and disappeared in a few seconds.

The short encounter made Chongyang fully realize the horror of Phoenix Mountain.

"The spiritual land has given the demonic beasts that are violent in nature a certain spirituality, not only with a high level, but also with high combat intelligence, and will properly judge the enemy's situation, and immediately try to escape if they feel that something is wrong......."

Chongyang felt a chill.

"Go ahead and be a little more careful. ”

......

It was some distance ahead of the Chongyang battle.

A group of about a dozen men also marched cautiously through the forest, ranging from strong warriors to robed magicians. The leader was a middle-aged male mage wearing a purple tight-fitting robe, holding a disc-shaped staff, yellow hair, and cold eyes.

"There is a voice in the back, it should be a magician, and he has encountered a demonic beast. ”

Hearing the movement behind, there was a samurai who was good at listening to the wind and identifying the adventurous skills, and reported to the leading mage.

"How many people are there on the other side?" said the yellow-haired cold mage.

"I can't hear it yet, but there shouldn't be many people. "Bushido.

The yellow-haired mage thought for a moment.

"Leave them alone...... You just pay attention, and after a while, find out if they are tracking on purpose. The mage said to the samurai.

"Yes, Lord Raphael. The samurai nodded, returning to the back of the line.

"Hmph, I thought that the girl of Yasz overheard the negotiation and conveyed it to her, which must have made her unable to resist the temptation and secretly sent someone to follow her. Rafael, the leader of the Sphink School's adventure group, who personally led the team into Phoenix Mountain, thought to himself, "The secret must not be exposed. That girl doesn't know each other, so you can't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Raphael thought that behind him was the man of a rival, the head of the Jucarus school, Yas. But he was also cautious, considering that it was possible that it was an accident for ordinary adventurers, so he decided to see how the situation unfolded first.

If the other party really follows all the time......

No mercy!
