Chapter 725 - 723: Desolate Fire Plain
Upon stepping onto the land of the Desolate Fire Plain, Gu Xi felt a warmth beneath his feet, followed by a wave of heat rushing towards him.
It was only at this moment that Gu Xi understood why the previous red-haired man had asked him to stay on the platform for a full three minutes.
Without such a layer of protection, the high temperature would have dehydrated him to the point of collapse within three minutes.
If he dared to fall, within an hour, he would become a dry corpse even more desiccated than a mummy.
This situation made Gu Xi somewhat fearful; it seemed this place appeared neutral on the surface, but wasn’t truly so.
Thinking it over, Gu Xi raised his left hand, activating the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp to switch his immunity ability to flames.
With this, Gu Xi felt much more comfortable.
Instead of discomfort, the outside high temperature made Gu Xi feel somewhat soothed.
Simultaneously, under the high temperature, Gu Xi noticed something different.
Gu Xi discovered that not all areas on the surface of the Desolate Fire Plain maintained constant high temperatures.
The ground temperature was closely related to the ground color.
The brighter the color, the higher the temperature.
Yet, regardless of which temperature, it had little impact on Gu Xi; these temperatures couldn’t cause him any unnecessary trouble.
After trying out a few places, Gu Xi decided not to continue.
While experimenting with his immunity to flame temperatures, Gu Xi also noticed a situation.
In this world, most humans had red or fiery white hair, resembling flames, clearly showing traces left by flames on them.
It seemed humans, adaptable in all worlds, were present everywhere.
Whether submerged or in this fiery land, as long as they survived, they could quickly adapt to their current environment.
These red-haired individuals were clearly humans who followed the fire route.
They had now developed immunity to flame damage, even gaining power within the flames.
This scenario somewhat resembled humans transformed into fire elements.
After observing these humans, Gu Xi also noticed many creatures influenced by fire elements.
One species, with snake tails and human bodies, horns on their heads, particularly caught Gu Xi’s attention.
They were quite tall, standing at least four meters high when upright.
Adding their tails, their bodies were at least nearly ten meters long.
When moving across the Desolate Fire Plain, they paid no mind to the surrounding temperature.
Their skin was mostly dark red, wielding weapons similar to tridents.
Upon seeing the Red Dragons trailing behind Gu Xi, their eyes noticeably widened.
Clearly, the appearance of these Red Dragons also concerned them, given the Red Dragons’ combat power.
The Desolate Fire Plain that Gu Xi arrived at is the gathering place for Level 5 to 10 players in this world.
These Red Dragons are all at Level 7 and aren’t few in number; more importantly, they hold considerable advantages in this world.
Their appearance equates to disrupting the balance of this world.
This situation is not good news for this world.
The reason this world can attract many players is that its balance remains controlled by two great figures.
No matter how strong other players are in their own worlds, once they enter this world, they’re suppressed.
These few quickly surround Gu Xi.
Seeing such strong creatures appear, Gu Xi also becomes tense, tapping the Illusion Magic Wand on the ground to prepare for battle.
"Please don’t attack."
Thankfully, those peculiar beings didn’t initiate an attack. As they approached Gu Xi, their leader decisively spoke.
"We are the Desolate Fire Patrol of the Desolate Fire Plain, responsible for the safety issues of the Desolate Fire Plain.
Foreigner, put away your Red Dragons.
On the Desolate Fire Plain, safety issues are not a concern."
Initially, upon seeing these peculiar creatures, Gu Xi hadn’t paid them much mind.
Various types of troops, he had seen many.
Impossible to recognize each one.
Perhaps the red-skinned, snake-tailed troops in front of him were mutations suited to the Desolate Fire Plain environment.
Initially, when they didn’t stop Gu Xi, he didn’t pay them much attention.
Now, these creatures claiming to be the Desolate Fire Patrol stand before Gu Xi, who notices their level seems off.
Appearing to be between Level 9 and 10.
Seeing through Gu Xi’s expression, the leader of the Desolate Fire Patrol lifted his head and proudly said, "Haha, you noticed; yes, we’re all Level 9.
But our Level 10 requirement is patrolling the Desolate Fire Plain for five years.
Using the flames of the Desolate Fire Plain to enhance ourselves.
So you need not worry.
On the Desolate Fire Plain, we represent the level ceiling.
Don’t worry about your safety, put all these Red Dragons away.
Your Red Dragons are already disrupting the balance."
Gu Xi wanted to ask if they could guarantee everyone’s safety.
But seeing the expressions of these Desolate Fire Patrol, Gu Xi suppressed his words.
Gu Xi sees that these Desolate Fire Patrol men are proud of their status and efforts.
Gu Xi could say their strength isn’t impressive, but he dare not challenge the utility of their patrol.
If Gu Xi dared doubt the Desolate Fire Plain’s safety issues, they dared make it seem extraordinarily safe.
Thus, Gu Xi’s words changed direction as soon as they reached his lips.
"Alright, I’ll put away all these Red Dragons, but it’s my first time here; are there any taboo issues, and I’m planning to go to the city called Anomalous Fire Dragon Cave.
How should I proceed?"
It’s rare for someone to volunteer information, so Gu Xi must inquire clearly.
At least Gu Xi has to plan well how to proceed.
Also, if Fang Kang doesn’t have the Architectural Design Plan Gu Xi desires, how should he handle the ones he possesses, and what can he exchange them for?
There are always various matters Gu Xi needs to investigate thoroughly.
When entering the new world previously, Gu Xi had done so.
This time as well, it’s rare encountering patrolmen knowledgeable about the Desolate Fire Plain, so naturally, Gu Xi wants to clarify the matters here.
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s inquiry, the eyes of these Desolate Fire Patrol men lit up.
It’s a good chance to brag about themselves.
Thus, these Desolate Fire Patrol men quickly started explaining.
Through their various descriptions, Gu Xi gained a certain understanding of this world.
