Chapter 305: The Return Journey

Chapter 305: The Return Journey

Upon seeing the message within the magic badge.

Li Wei's countenance shifted.

The Elemental Tower had already transmitted the location of the fixed teleportation array to Li Wei.

There were five fixed teleportation arrays within the Fire Element Plane in total.

Three led to the Elemental Tower, the other two to other places in the Main Plane.

The nearest fixed teleportation array to Li Wei lay in the direction of the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar.

Approximately two hundred kilometers away.

In other directions, the nearest was still six hundred kilometers.

Li Wei faced a difficult choice.

Avoiding the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar might evade certain dangers.

But no one could say clearly what would occur on the six-hundred-kilometer journey to another teleportation point.

Perhaps even greater perils would be encountered.

If he merely circled around the area of the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar, it would only add fifty or sixty kilometers to the route.

Li Wei deliberated repeatedly before making his decision.

After making the choice, he immediately set out.

Flying towards the target location two hundred kilometers distant.

At normal Fire Step flight speed, Li Wei could reach the destination in about forty minutes.

If accelerated, the speed would be faster, but the consumption would be much greater.

Flying at full speed, Li Wei could only persist for a few minutes.

The disturbance was also very significant.

The value was not great.

Li Wei was snatched by the Fire Bird Garuda solely because he flew too fast.

It aroused the curiosity of the Fire Bird Garuda.

Li Wei concealed himself as much as possible, flying low over the sea of fire, minimizing the risk of exposure.

The closer he got to the area where the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar stood, the more flame creatures appeared.

Li Wei took a wide detour to bypass this region.

From dozens of kilometers away, he saw the Fire Bird Garuda circling the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar.

Its form was too massive.

Like a towering mountain.

Visible from a great distance.

Comparing from the figure of the Fire Bird Garuda, Li Wei found the size of the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar beyond imagination.

Before the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar, the Fire Bird Garuda was truly just a small bird.

The diameter of the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar was at least over ten kilometers.

Li Wei was very curious about what exactly the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar was?

Curiosity aside, he would absolutely not court death by approaching.

He circled far away from the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar.

Half an hour later, Li Wei looked back at the Sky-Piercing Flame Pillar behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

The Fire Bird Garuda might have spotted his silhouette.

However, at this moment it was busy with important matters, having no time to attend to Li Wei.

Li Wei successfully escaped.

Continuing to fly for a while, Li Wei saw the edge of the fire sea.

His eyes lit up; he had finally made it out.

After leaving the fire sea, he took out the magic badge to locate the position of the fixed teleportation array.

Traveling over mountains and ridges, he discovered a hidden teleportation array within a forest of fire trees.

The teleportation array was indeed hidden, but it was still discovered by flame creatures.

A large number of flame creatures gathered around the teleportation array, unknown what they were doing.

Li Wei descended slowly, seeing a giant flame gorilla standing on the teleportation array, surrounded by a circle of flame creatures.

The flame gorilla beat its chest and stamped its feet, displaying intimidation to the surrounding flame creatures.

It was the king of this forest of fire trees.

The flame gorilla demanded all flame creatures submit to itself.

Great events were happening throughout the entire Fire Element Plane.

Powers big and small were integrating, concentrating the combat power of the Fire Element Plane together.

The flame gorilla received instructions from the Fire Element Lord to rule all flame demon beasts within the fire tree forest.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The flame gorilla forcefully pounded the fixed teleportation array beneath it.

"Here is the gateway for us to enter the Human World."

"The Human World possesses countless delicious foods, needing no daily struggle to fight for survival; those humans can eat and drink their fill lying in their nests."

"Why should humans enjoy such a life when we beast demons can enjoy it too!"

"Occupy the Human World, enslave the humans!"

The flame gorilla roared passionately.

Deep in emotion, sparks could not stop spraying from its mouth. Seeing the flame gorilla pound the fixed teleportation array a few times, Li Wei's heart jumped out of his throat.

Afraid it would pound the teleportation array broken.

If he couldn't return, he would be doomed.

Unable to understand the beast language of the flame gorilla, Li Wei only wanted to wait for these flame demon beasts to disperse.

Waiting for a long time, he found not a single flame demon beast moved away.

Instead, more and more flame demon beasts approached.

Li Wei sensed a powerful aura rising from the distance.

He knew it was a Fire Element Lord.

The opposing force seemed to be making its way this way.

Li Wei felt a sense of impending trouble.

"What are these monsters doing, occupying the entire teleportation array?"

"Wait, could they intend to use the whole array to reach the Main Plane?"

It was inconceivable.

Did monsters know how to utilize teleportation arrays?

Li Wei recalled the words Still had spoken to him.

Monsters might not understand how to use magical teleportation arrays, but humans did.

The Fire Element Lord hunting people everywhere might well be to activate the array.

Li Wei now roughly understood why the Elemental Tower refused to activate the World Teleportation Array.

They feared the Fire Element Lord, or rather the Flame Overlord, would seize the opportunity to open a spatial passage to the Main Plane.

The small spatial channel opened by a fixed array could not accommodate the massive Fire Element Lord passing through.

Let alone the even more powerful legendary entity, the Flame Overlord.

Yet they still desired to open the fixed teleportation array.

Li Wei sensed the aura of the Fire Element Lord gradually drawing near from the distance.

He knew he could not wait any longer.

By the time the Fire Element Lord arrived, he feared he would be forced to flee.

Judging by the current situation, the fixed arrays elsewhere were likely already occupied by fire creatures.

Li Wei had no other choice.

He pondered for a moment, his mind stirring slightly.

Transform into a Flame Lord, aided slightly by an Illusion Form spell.

A Flame Lord standing over a hundred meters tall appeared in mid-air.

The sudden appearance of the Flame Lord startled the fire monsters within the Fire Forest.

Many fire monsters wished to turn and flee.

The Flame Gorilla was also startled, though he recovered quickly.

Roar roar roar!

The Flame Gorilla roared loudly several times, suppressing the commotion.

Li Wei, pretending to be the Fire Element Lord, approached the array.

The Flame Gorilla sycophantically reported to Li Wei that he had subdued all fire monsters within the Fire Forest.

Ready to follow him on an expedition to the Main Plane at any time.

Li Wei knew neither beast tongue nor element speech, so he simply played the mute and offered no reply.

He glanced at the Flame Gorilla without speaking.

The Flame Gorilla understood and withdrew beyond the array's perimeter.

Li Wei descended slowly, his figure gradually diminishing.

Becoming only ten meters tall.

Witnessing this, the Flame Gorilla wore an expression of surprise.

He never expected the Fire Element Lord could shrink in size.

Li Wei produced some magic stones to activate the array.

The Flame Gorilla was even more astonished.

In his heart he thought: Truly worthy of being My Lord, he can even wield human artifacts.

The teleportation array was activated.

The Flame Gorilla volunteered eagerly, saying: "My Lord, why not send some monsters over first to check for danger on the other side?"

Li Wei glanced at him and stepped into the array.

The Flame Gorilla was struck internally, displaying an air of admiration.

My Lord leads the vanguard!

Suddenly, the array activated, and the Flame Gorilla hurriedly pursued, shouting aloud.

"My Lord wait for me, I have not entered yet!"

The Flame Gorilla rushed into the array and vanished together with Li Wei upon the array.

The other monsters exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
