Chapter 179

Upper Earth Month, October 22nd.

Night fell, and dots of stars twinkled on the deep curtain above; as they approached the Azerlisia Mountains, the temperature in mid-air also began to drop.

A black figure flew rapidly under the night sky.

Tang Zheng had already changed out of the white priest robe he was wearing and changed into a black cloak, while he carried the unconscious Quine-Aise in his hand, flying toward the depths of the mountain range.

From afar, one could already see a touch of fiery red inside the northern part of the Azerlisia Mountains.

This is the seventh day after the gray-robed mage's death, and the third day since Tang Zheng entered the Azerlisia Mountains.

The magic power in his body had fully recovered, and even the magic power consumed in the "Orb of Death" had been replenished somewhat.

Tang Zheng chose to use the interior of the mountain range as the location to solve Quine-Aise; since the Slane Theocracy could lock onto the location, how could the environment of the Great Wetland be as complex as the environment within the Azerlisia Mountains?

In this way, it could further serve the purpose of confusing the public.

"Seven days have passed; I wonder if the Slane Theocracy has noticed anything unusual." Tang Zheng felt the cold wind in the air and muttered to himself softly.

Whoosh!

A black shadow attacked rapidly from the air; this was a harpy with a body size similar to a normal human, but with eagle wings and claws.

It is one of the very dangerous monsters in the sky above the Azerlisia Mountains.

Facing this suddenly attacking harpy, Tang Zheng's flying movement did not pause in the slightest, at the moment the other party was about to reach in front of him.

The magic greatsword appeared in his palm, drawing a cold light under the night sky.

He directly split the harpy in two!

"Experience gained: 1211"

【Experience Bar: 82907/120000】

Tang Zheng's figure flew past rapidly, and the harpy, which didn't even let out a scream, was left behind as he continued to fly toward the north of the mountain range, using the cover of the night.

Using physical means instead of magic, besides saving magic power, was because he didn't want to attract the attention of those existences in the Azerlisia Mountains.

At this moment.

Even Tang Zheng himself did not know which part of the Azerlisia Mountains' power the airspace he was currently in belonged to.

Dwarves? Quagoa? Frost Dragons? Or Frost Giants and other parties.

If he hadn't mastered the "Flight" magic, he would have wasted an unknown amount of time entering the Azerlisia Mountains by walking.

These parties are definitely the top existences among humans, not to mention the powerful Frost Dragons and Frost Giants.

Don't look at how weak the dwarves are in the anime; for dwarves who are good at making weapons, just picking out a fully equipped troop would be stronger than human elites.

And the Quagoa, because of their racial characteristics, have great resistance to physical attacks, especially the Quagoa King, whose level has reached level 38 in the "Outlier" domain.

If the Slane Theocracy sent people into the Azerlisia Mountains, unless they sent the 【Black Scripture】, otherwise, if the other Five-Colored Troops were to rampage here.

Provoking any one of them would have a probability of being wiped out.

"Almost there; is this the Great Rift?" Tang Zheng looked down into the distance, and with the help of the moonlight and starlight in the night sky, he could clearly see a huge, bottomless mountain valley rift below.

The place he was going to was the lava zone in the Azerlisia Mountains, which was already located deep within the mountain range.

With the help of the high-altitude view, he could observe clearly, so he was not afraid of flying in the wrong direction.

The location of the Great Rift is not far from the dwarves living in the eastern capital.

The place Tang Zheng was most interested in regarding the dwarves was the Rune characters they mastered, but now he had more important things to do, so he only observed below for a moment before flying over the Great Rift.

Dazzling fiery red light began to come into view.

Waves of heat, accompanied by the flow of air, rushed toward him like waves on the sea.

Tang Zheng, who was flying in the sky, felt the air temperature rise sharply as soon as he entered this lava zone.

Especially since the hot air in this area collided with the cold air on the outer mountain range, forming quite chaotic air currents.

This affected even Tang Zheng, who was flying steadily, forcing him to descend rapidly from the sky and land in the outer area of the lava zone.

Hiss~ hiss~

As soon as he landed, his soles came into contact with the hot rocks, making a "sizzle" sound.

"What astonishing heat, and the magic power also seems to be richer than in other locations."

Tang Zheng felt the scorching air around him, grinned, and stepped back a few more steps; in just a moment, a layer of dense sweat had already appeared on his forehead:

"Then let it be here."

After observing the surroundings and finding that there were no other creatures in this area, he nodded.

In this special zone with extremely high temperatures, except for some monsters naturally capable of withstanding high temperatures, ordinary creatures simply cannot approach here.

Tang Zheng did not have fire resistance or magic, so he could only stay in the outermost area where the temperature was relatively low.

Looking up, he could see the distant sea of magma flowing with scorching light; that was the center of this lava zone. Logically speaking, with the high mountain terrain of the Azerlisia Mountains, which is shrouded in ice and snow all year round, magma should not appear.

However,

This is a world influenced by magic power, and any strange and unusual place is more or less related to magic, such as the lava sea in front of him.

Below the lava sea, there seems to be a natural portal, where the magma here is connected to the magma in distant areas, which is why this abnormal situation appeared.

Bang!

Tang Zheng threw the unconscious Quine-Aise on the ground, and the hot ground scalded Quine-Aise awake.

"We can discuss..."

Quine-Aise jumped up from the ground like a conditioned reflex, a hint of fear revealing in his red eyes as he looked at Tang Zheng.

"Charm All Species." Magic power flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes.

Quine-Aise's expression stiffened, and he stood blankly on the spot.

"Tell me the ability of 'Astral Thousand Miles' completely." Tang Zheng asked indifferently.

"'Astral Thousand Miles' is a member who specializes in detection magic; the innate talent is..." Quine-Aise spoke stumbling, and a struggling and distorted expression began to appear on his face.

The other party had already answered two of Tang Zheng's questions a few days ago, and now it was the third question.

This work is organized and uploaded by~~

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Quine-Aise's introduction; his caution was indeed correct.

The innate talent of "Astral Thousand Miles" can greatly strengthen detection magic. Even ordinary detection magic can exert power far beyond its normal rank.

"Ah!!"

Before Quine-Aise had finished speaking, he let out a scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, dead.

"Experience gained: 13512"

【Experience Bar: 96419/120000】

"This kind of special magic means is truly eerie." Looking at Quine-Aise, who died directly after answering three questions, Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

He glanced at the experience points; it was lower than the experience given by the gray-robed mage.

"Quine-Aise's level is actually lower than the gray-robed mage's." Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised, then thought of the fact that the other party was good at using magic beasts to fight.

"Resurrection of the Dead!"

Tang Zheng waved his hand to activate the magic.

At this moment!

On the other side, the Slane Theocracy.

In the "Temple of Earth," where Quine-Aise's hidden identity was stationed, the floor of the hall was paved with pure white marble.

On the surrounding walls, sacred and ancient murals were carved, depicting scenes of six figures fighting against various demi-human races, full of indescribable mystery.

Except for the floor, the entire temple was based on tea-brown, clearly indicating which of the Six Great Gods was being worshipped.

Candlelight flickered!

An old man wearing a tea-brown priest robe was kneeling in front of the statue in the temple; he was the High Priest of the "Temple of Earth."

Bang!

Suddenly, a heat wave exploded out of thin air.

A figure with black hair wearing simple armor appeared behind this Earth High Priest like a teleportation.

The Earth High Priest, who was praying with his eyes closed and a face full of piety, suddenly opened his eyes, not even waiting to turn his head to look behind him.

A serious voice sounded.

"Quine-Aise is dead!" the black-haired youth said.

The Earth High Priest's back stiffened first, then relaxed again, rising unhurriedly, his aged voice speaking shallowly: "Do not be impatient about anything; it will affect your judgment."

"With your status, appearing here is not appropriate."

The Earth High Priest turned around, his wrinkled cheeks revealing kindness as he looked at the black-haired youth behind him, while slightly bowing to show respect, then said gently:

"Although we have placed restrictions on some of your actions, as the Captain of the Black Scripture, you do not need to report to us regarding the matter of launching 'Resurrection Magic'."

"The current situation is that Quine-Aise cannot be resurrected!"

"Among those who killed Quine-Aise, there exists a magic caster who also masters 'Resurrection Magic'."

There was an extra hint of anxiety in the youth's tone.

The Earth High Priest's originally composed expression changed suddenly, and even his half-closed, gentle eyes widened a bit, a fierce light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"You don't need to do anything next; I will go notify the other High Priests and 'Astral Thousand Miles'."

As soon as the Earth High Priest finished speaking, he strode away.
