“The Tianyuan battlefield is in trouble,” Su Jin’er said with a serious expression. “I’m sorry, junior brother, but it seems I can’t accompany you on this advancement task.”
“The Tianyuan battlefield is in trouble?” Mo Xiao was surprised. “That shouldn’t be, right? Haven’t our master and the others arrived at the Tianyuan battlefield yet?”
Su Jin’er furrowed her brow and replied, “This is the message 1 received from our master. They should have already arrived, but it seems that the monsters have launched a full-scale attack.
“Alright, 1 won’t waste any more time with you. 1 need to return to the Tianyuan battlefield immediately. I’ll tell you the details once 1 find out more.”
With that, Su finer didn’t wait for Mo Xiao’s response and took out a shimmering scroll from her backpack.
She crushed it abruptly, and it turned into a blue light, disappearing.
“A teleportation scroll?” Mo Xiao watched as Su finer left directly and didn’t react much.
For Mo Xiao, it was more comfortable to act alone than with someone else.
However, at this moment, Mo Xiao couldn’t shake off a sense of unease lingering in his heart. He had a feeling that something bad might happen.
“Is it just my imagination?” Mo Xiao felt a vague palpitation in his heart, furrowing his brows slightly.
Nevertheless, he didn’t dwell on it and shook his head gently. He looked at the map and started walking back towards Yangcheng Base City.
Twenty minutes later.
As a blue light that represented teleportation lit up, Mo Xiao appeared in a brand new base city again.
As soon as he entered, a wave of heat instantly assaulted his face, causing Mo Xiao to frown.
“Damn, why is it so hot?” Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked out of the teleportation array.
The surrounding air seemed to have already distorted under this scorching temperature.
Seeing this, the guard in charge of guarding at the side also smiled and said, “Little brother, is this your first time here?”
Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded slightly and did not say anything.
“Our Sansha Base City wasn’t like this in the beginning, but two years ago, a boss seemed to have rushed out of the Secret Realm, causing the temperature here to be extremely abnormal,” the guard explained. “However, it’s not life-threatening. It’s just that daily life is more torturous.”
“Boss? What boss?” Mo Xiao asked curiously.
The guard thought for a moment and said, “According to the rumors, it seems to be a huge fire lizard. Many people want to get rid of it, and even the Fire God came personally, but because we really can’t find its location, we can only give up for the time being.”
“…” Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. “Thank you, I understand.”
“Oh, you’re welcome. By the way, if you’re really hot, you can go to the dungeon hall in the city and find some ice-type professions to add an ice-type protection. That way, you’ll feel much more comfortable,” the guard said enthusiastically. “After all, the highest temperature we have at noon can reach 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Although it’s all digitized now and there’s no such thing as heatstroke, it’s still very torturous.
“Moreover, we’re still in the base city. It’ll be even hotter outside. You have to be careful.”
“Thank you.” Mo Xiao nodded at the two of them.
Although he had the power of the Fire God and was immune to all fire damage, this scorching heat was not harmful, and he was not immune to it.
Although he had experienced it once in the Wood Secret Realm, because it was an environment with fire damage, Mo Xiao had resisted it.
Although Mo Xiao had many skills now, among magic, there was only fire, and even thunder only had one move.
“It seems that I didn’t prepare enough…” Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes and strode out of the teleportation array, heading into the base city.
If it were any other city, there would be many people on the streets at this time.
But here, there was no one on the streets.
There were only a few professionals here and there, and even they were walking quickly.
“A boss that can affect the natural environment of the base city… Isn’t he too powerful?” After walking for a while, Mo Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead. As expected, this scorching temperature was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Soon, under the effect of the hot temperature, Mo Xiao involuntarily quickened his pace and quickly arrived at the dungeon hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, a sensation of coolness enveloped Mo Xiao’s entire body, nearly making him exclaim in relief.
This main hall was different from the city; it resembled a small city filled with various professionals.
At the entrance, several water-element mages dressed as professionals noticed Mo Xiao and one of them immediately walked over.
“Little brother, from the looks of it, this should be your first time coming to our Sansha Base City, right? Would you like me to cast an ice barrier for you? It’ll make you much more comfortable-” The ice-element professional said in a friendly manner.
“Ice-element professional?” Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and extended his hand
to the mage. “Hello, I’m Mo Xiao..”
