Though his physical energy consumption was minimal, the sustained high-intensity combat left his mental energy faintly strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually recalled his floating cannons and the small rune artifacts orbiting him, his cold gaze sweeping the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Lava Giant, including the peak Level 2 leader nearing Level 3, had been successfully eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively trying to take a deep breath, he choked on the toxic underground air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming shook his head, retrieving a soul-searching artifact and stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Lava Giant leader’s soul, he extracted far more complete and detailed intelligence than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fragmented memories, he pinpointed the location and entry method for a higher-tier, more secretive Lava Giant stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a moment’s hesitation, Jie Ming suppressed all excess aura and sped toward the target like a phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the desolate scorched wastes of the Flame Realm, Jie Ming darted between molten lava and jagged rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of using Flight Technique, he relied on his extraordinary physical strength, racing across the ground at astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps were light and swift, each landing precisely avoiding the bubbling lava fissures in the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before reaching the target area, his detection artifact pinged with a fluctuation alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming glanced at the incoming data, hesitated briefly, then continued toward the source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the distant sounds of intense energy fluctuations and Lava Giant roars reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming halted instantly, slipping behind a rock to conceal himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retracted his All-Purpose Eye, switching to the subtler Micro-Light Eye for cautious reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his field of vision, three wizards were locked in fierce combat with a group of Lava Giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group consisted of one Level 2 wizard and two Level 1 wizards, forming a hunting team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were struggling against over a dozen Level 2 Lava Giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though wizards could leverage energy manipulation to overpower many same-level beings, the elite Lava Giants, amplified by the Flame Realm’s high temperatures, held a numerical advantage, leaving the three wizards strained, their mental energy fluctuations growing erratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming didn’t act immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal wasn’t to kill but to infiltrate deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, though the three wizards appeared hard-pressed, their struggle was deliberate, aimed at capturing more live specimens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing himself during the heat of battle could cause misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After expending considerable effort, the three wizards finally defeated the dozen Level 2 Lava Giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they began tallying their spoils and sealing the surviving specimens, Jie Ming released a faint but clear energy fluctuation as a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three wizards froze, instantly adopting defensive stances against potential threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw a Level 1 wizard emerge from behind a lava flow, they relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow colleague, why are you here?” the Level 2 wizard asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he quickly scanned Jie Ming for dangerous items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes soon locked onto the intricately runed floating cannons hovering behind Jie Ming and the faintly glowing rune artifact on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without knowing their specifics, these items screamed danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was heading to a Lava Giant stronghold when I sensed activity here and came to check it out. Didn’t expect to run into you all,” Jie Ming replied amicably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A stronghold?” The Level 2 wizard raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming caught the shift in his demeanor. “What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead wizard didn’t answer immediately. He turned to confer with the other two wizards, then nodded at Jie Ming after a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, we’re also heading to a nearby stronghold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. “Then… shall we share intel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging information, it was no surprise that both parties were targeting the same stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here for the same reason!” the Level 2 wizard said. “Our detection spells recently picked up abnormal energy fluctuations here, suggesting a significant Lava Giant stronghold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming wasn’t surprised by the overlap. The Lava Giants’ wartime strategy of splitting and multiplying forces was effective against other creatures but practically handed intelligence to wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shared his findings without hesitation. “Based on my soul-search intel, that stronghold likely houses Level 3 Lava Giants—an unconventional threat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the two Level 1 wizards, his tone formal. “So, shall we team up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m in. What about you two?” the Level 2 wizard asked his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though wizards weren’t adept at large-scale army combat, they excelled in small-team synergy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, if conditions aligned, even strangers could quickly form teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Level 1 wizards had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jie Ming didn’t specify how he obtained his intel, the others could infer he’d at least taken down a Level 2 Lava Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the Lava Giants’ patterns, a Level 2 would be accompanied by a large group of Level 1s as a reconnaissance team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Jie Ming had infiltrated this deep and single-handedly dispatched an entire reconnaissance team, they recognized his formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, a strong teammate meant a higher chance of survival. They had no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level 2 wizard made the call, nodding at Jie Ming. “Since we’re all on board, let’s work together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the four formed a temporary alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they traveled, they exchanged details about their combat styles to ensure smooth cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by one of the Level 1 wizards skilled in reconnaissance, they soon reached the indicated location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an unassuming cave, its entrance veiled by dense volcanic vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without keen energy perception, it would be nearly impossible to spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave’s interior was pitch-black, but a searing heat emanated from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is more concealed than typical Lava Giant strongholds,” the Level 2 wizard whispered. “Stay sharp—there could be sentries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cautiously entered the winding cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they reached a massive underground lava lake, its surface glowing faintly red, bubbling and hissing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the soul-search memories, this was the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four activated their protective witchcrafts and plunged into the scalding lava lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming felt the lava’s embrace, its familiar heat like warm water to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the other three wizards had raised energy shields, he followed suit to blend in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sank along the rugged channels at the lake’s bottom, navigating kilometers through twisting, interconnected lava veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After countless ascents, the flowing lava thinned, and an open space appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes lit up as they emerged from the viscous lava lake into a vast, hemispherical underground chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was immense, with a towering ceiling and flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, it wasn’t the expected barracks or mining cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area exuded dense moisture and the fragrance of plants, starkly contrasting the arid Flame Realm outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crept forward cautiously and soon discovered that this was a massive “plantation”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cavern’s center, vast patches of greenery thrived on the scorching earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plants varied in form, with thick, water-laden leaves emitting strange glows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were clearly specialized flora adapted to extreme heat, capable of synthesizing moisture from the dry air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more astonishing, the cavern’s ceiling housed a hundreds-meter-wide artificial energy orb, emitting soft, stable light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It mimicked sunlight, providing constant illumination for the plants below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to prior soul-search intel, these plants served as fodder for livestock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three wizards were incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming, however, recalled his research: Lava Giants had unique digestive systems capable of processing animal flesh, so hunting for food wasn’t surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never imagined these elemental beings would engage in farming.\u003C\u002Fp>",1399,"2026-05-29T05:51:28.178Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","a94d9530f0adfa3cd156a93e9800c85447f01c521f8916f21d218a99692e1728","i-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-chapter-180","i-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-chapter-178",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-cover.jpg"]
