Chapter Eighty-Seven: First Entry into the Valley of Flames
Flame City, as a town close to the Valley of Flames, naturally attracted countless mercenary groups to settle in, as soon as you entered the city, you saw mercenaries in various costumes shuttling around the city, and all kinds of recruitment voices were endless.
"Oh, it's so lively!" said Midori looked at the mercenaries with excitement on her face.
"Okay, let's find an inn to stay in first!" Seeing the excited look on Lu Hao's face, Ling Aotian was worried that she would start hanging out desperately, so he hurriedly said.
Due to the huge number of floating people in the city, there are naturally many inns in the city, and it didn't take much effort for the two to find a relatively quiet inn in the city to live.
After eating something briefly, the two of them began to purchase all kinds of fire-sheltering things in the city, and after spending half a day and preparing hundreds of fire-avoiding utensils, Ling Aotian finally stopped.
"Brother Tian, what are we going to do next?" Seeing that Ling Aotian had stopped purchasing, Lu Hao asked a little reluctantly.
"Let's go to the tavern and find out the news!" "Entering the Valley of Flames, their target is the best fire crystal that is now known as the Vulcan Fruit, if there is no accurate information, then they will definitely jump around like headless flies when they enter the valley, it will definitely be a time-consuming and laborious matter.
The tavern was indeed a good place to inquire about the news, and not long after Ling Aotian and Lu Hao entered, they heard a lot of news about the Flame Valley from the mouths of the tavern drinkers, but none of these news were related to the Fire God Fruit, which inevitably made Ling Aotian a little disappointed.
"Xiao Er, get me two hundred steamed buns, fifty catties of green ice, hurry up!" Just as Ling Aotian was about to find the tavern junior second to inquire about the news of the Fire God Fruit, a rough voice came from outside the tavern, and then, a bearded man with a head of nearly two meters and a strong body rushed in from outside.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of the crowd, the bearded man went straight to the counter of the tavern, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and threw them on the counter.
The shopkeeper of the tavern moved very quickly, and soon prepared the things that the bearded man wanted and handed them to him, and the bearded man did not stay in the tavern for long, as he had come, he stepped out of the tavern in a few steps and disappeared.
"Isn't that the brute bear of the Haotian Mercenary Regiment? What does he want to do with so much green ice? Is he going to enter the depths of the Valley of Flames?" Some people who knew the bearded man immediately discussed in surprise, the green ice he said in his mouth was a unique wine in Flame City, and other wines probably had the effect of warming the body, but this green ice was different, it could play a role in removing fire poison, and it was the favorite of those mercenaries who walked in the Valley of Flames all year round, however, it was precisely because of the magical effect of green ice that it also made its price relatively high, and many mercenaries were reluctant to drink it unless they had to, and it was precisely because of this that the brute bear of the Haotian mercenary group asked for fifty catties of green ice in one breath, which would attract the attention of those people。
"It must be, otherwise, the Haotian Mercenary Group will definitely be reluctant to ask for such a large amount of green ice. Another drinker said.
"It seems that their target is the Fire God Fruit in the depths of the Flame Valley, alas, this thing is really rare, especially in the past few years, there have been many mercenary groups that have entered it with the mentality of taking risks, but they have all returned empty-handed without exception, I don't know if the Haotian mercenary group will be like them this time. Another drinker said.
Ling Aotian didn't care about the discussion of those drinkers, but when he heard the Fire God Fruit, he was shocked and began to listen carefully to the discussion of those drinkers.
There were already a lot of idle people in the tavern, and those who were talking about it were obviously not afraid of others hearing their conversations, so after only a short while, Ling Aotian had already understood the situation.
Feng Qingyi is right, this Flame Valley does produce the Fire God Fruit, and the place where the Fire God Fruit is produced is actually the depths of the Flame Valley, but I don't know if something happened in the depths of the Flame Valley, in the past few years, countless mercenary groups have returned empty-handed.
This news was not good news for Ling Aotian, but he was not disappointed by the conversation of those people, after all, as long as the fire crystals produced in the depths of the Flame Valley, he had hope.
"Brother Tian, are we going to enter the depths of the Valley of Flames?" Lu Hao naturally heard the conversation of those drinkers, and asked Ling Aotian.
Ling Aotian nodded and beckoned to Dian Xiaoer, who was busy.
"Guest officer, what else do you need?" the shopkeeper ran over.
"Give me fifty catties of green ice too!" Ling Aotian threw the amethyst card in his hand to the shopkeeper.
Hearing Ling Aotian say that he wanted fifty catties of green ice, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, working in the tavern, the most hopeful thing is that there are guests to buy green ice, in that case, he can get a large reward, however, the shopkeeper's eyes only lit up for a moment, then dimmed, looked at Ling Aotian with some embarrassment, and said: "That, guest officer, I'm sorry, today our green ice has been sold to the previous guest officer, I'm afraid you have to wait until tomorrow." ”
Ling Aotian frowned: "Aside from your store, where can I buy green ice?"
"Back to the guest officer, this Flame City, there is green ice in our store. The shopkeeper said with great pride.
Ling Aotian frowned, thought for a while, and did not take the amethyst card that Xiao Er wanted to return to him, and said, "You collect the money first, and tomorrow, send me the wine to the Yuanlai Inn!"
The shopkeeper, who thought that this business had failed, heard Ling Aotian's words, and a bright smile appeared on his face, and said, "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!"
The shopkeeper's second-hand feet were extremely quick, and he quickly swiped the money for Ling Aotian's wine, and then handed over the card to Ling Aotian.
"Guest officer, fifty catties of green ice, a total of 300,000 gold coins, the boss said, since the guest officer bought fifty catties of green ice, today's wine money will be free for you! A total of 300,000 gold coins will be charged to you, this is your card, please take it!"
Fifty catties of green ice actually cost 300,000 gold coins! Ling Aotian finally understood why those people before were surprised, but he didn't say anything, he took the amethyst card from the shopkeeper, put it in the space ring, and began to drink quietly.
Ling Aotian's previous move to buy green ice naturally attracted the attention of the drinkers he had talked about earlier, and they began to cast surprised glances at Ling Aotian.
Ling Aotian completely ignored the gazes of those people, and left the tavern after leisurely drinking the wine in the pot with Lu Hao.
Early the next morning, the shopkeeper handed over fifty catties of green ice to Ling Aotian as promised.
Lie Flame City was only about five hundred kilometers away from the Flame Valley, and with the speed of Ling Aotian and Green Hazy, it only took more than an hour for the two of them to reach the range of the Flame Valley.
The Valley of Flames, since it is named after the flames, naturally has a great relationship with fire, the entire canyon, there are countless bright flames and dark flames, the temperature is extremely high, if people are accidentally swept by these flames, they will not die or be injured. The Flame Valley covers an extremely wide area, accounting for almost one-tenth of the territory of the Southern Regions, and it is precisely because the Flame Valley covers a huge area and is extremely dangerous that the Flame Valley has been explored by people for countless years, and there are still many unknown areas, and many well-known mercenary groups on the continent are also working hard to completely unveil the Flame Valley.
As soon as they approached the Valley of Flames, they could feel a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, and although Ling Aotian and Lu Hao had already prepared and put on their thin clothes, they still had sweat on their foreheads.
"Is this the Valley of Flames?" Midori looked around curiously, "If you don't know, you'll think you've accidentally stepped into the steamer." ”
Ling Aotian smiled slightly, glanced ahead, and said, "Okay, don't complain, let's go!"
The Valley of Flames was indeed extremely dangerous, but as soon as they entered, Ling Aotian and Lu Hao encountered several flames that rose in an instant, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them had been paying careful attention to everything around them, they would have to be disgraced.
Of course, the danger of the Valley of Flames, but can not resist people's determination to pursue wealth, as the so-called wealth and danger in the seeking, in the danger of the Valley of Flames, there are also many opportunities, and those mercenaries who make a living from adventure, naturally put this danger out of the way, for the sake of wealth, they in groups, broke into such a dangerous place, but as soon as they entered the valley, Ling Aotian and Lu Hao met several teams of mercenaries in and out of the Valley of Flames, these mercenaries were dressed differently, with different looks, but when they saw Ling Aotian and Lu Hao, they all showed a trace of shock without exception, obviously, for Ling Aotian and Lu Hao, just two people entered the Valley of FlamesThey were extremely unexpected.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of those mercenaries, Ling Aotian and the two continued to walk towards the depths of the Flame Valley.
Obviously, everyone who entered the Flame Valley knew that they had to be on guard at all times, so when they saw Ling Aotian and Lu Hao walking alone, although those mercenaries were surprised, they didn't come over to talk to them, and several teams of mercenaries who had also just entered the Flame Valley kept a distance from each other and kept moving forward.
A long howl resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Except for Ling Aotian and Lu Hao, the faces of the several teams of mercenaries who had just entered the Flame Valley changed.
"Oh no! it's a flame bandit!" one of the mercenaries shouted.
Flame bandits, is the mercenaries who broke into the Valley of Flames to a group of bandits entrenched in the Valley of Flames named names, in fact, these flame bandits, themselves are also some mercenaries, just for some reason fled to the Valley of Flames, and started to rob the past mercenary groups, and these flame bandits, extremely cruel, let the past mercenary groups talk about the color change, for these flame bandits, the major mercenary groups are deeply hated, have united to encircle and suppress them, but unfortunately these flame bandits are mixed in the Valley of Flames all the year round, and they know everything in the Valley of Flames very well。
