Those spirit qi professionals with Platinum feys might be able to enter. In fact, they could also bring in two companions with pinnacle Gold feys. But for those spirit qi professionals who didn’t have Platinum feys, nor companions with Platinum feys, they would be stuck outside the valley. They weren’t even qualified to enter the valley.
Lin Yuan’s arrival attracted plenty of attention from the adventurers and the youths that were here to train.
“Kid, don’t go forward, just watch here. There is someone selling snacks over there, but the price is a little high.”
Lin Yuan looked to the side and noticed a fatty holding a pile of resources and hawking for sales. There were also a few other young people who were of similar age to the fatty. They were hawking and helping the fatty to sell the huge pile of resources.
The hawking calls made the atmosphere rather lively. Those that didn’t know would think there was a gathering for a performance.
Lin Yuan didn’t know whether to say that this fatty had a business mind or that he was too silly and reckless.
Lin Yuan walked to the valley entrance, which had a barrier made with the flowing flame-shaped fire element energy. Just as he was about to enter, a middle-aged adventurer pulled back Lin Yuan and said, “Do you wish to die!? A few fellows earlier were confident in their strength, but after just a few meters, they were all burned to death by the fire element energy. In the beginning, the fire element energy in the valley might only be the standard of a Silver fey’s attack, but now it already has the power of a Gold fey’s attack.”
As soon as this adventurer finished talking, another adventurer said, “Do you really think you are Black just because you are wearing a mask!? Even if you are Black, that strange plant and Silver/Fantasy avian species fey would only allow you to enter the valley filled with fire element energy.”
Lin Yuan raised his brows. *This brother seems to be very knowledgeable! If I use Red Thorn and Chimey, it is true that I would not be able to enter this valley that is filled with fire element energy. However, I don’t plan to use Red Thorn and Chimey to enter.*
If Lin Yuan wanted to enter this valley, he had two methods.
The first method was to summon the Silver/Fantasy Jasmine Lily and ask it to use its Heal ability on him. He would then fill his body with vitality energy to walk through forcefully. Even if the flowing flame energy injured him, the Jasmine Lily’s concentrated vitality energy would immediately heal the wounds. But if that was the case, Lin Yuan would have to burn off a layer of skin, grow a new layer of skin, and repeat the process of torture.
Lin Yuan felt that it was truly too forceful, and he wouldn’t be so cruel to himself.
However, Lin Yuan had a second method—that was to use the Source Sand to bury underground and travel until he was right underneath the flame vortex. The Source Sand had already scouted the road ahead for Lin Yuan. The flowing flame energy inside the valley may have the Gold fey’s attack power, but the temperature inside the purple-black ground wasn’t considered high.
Furthermore, when it was closer to the fist-sized plant that contained massive spirit qi, the temperature would be the same as the temperature outside the valley. It might even be colder. Therefore, traveling underground was the best choice.
Earlier on, the two adventurers who spoke to Lin Yuan had turned around, and when they turned back, they noticed that Lin Yuan was already missing. The duo quickly looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
One of the adventurers said with astonishment, “Oh my god, that kid got burnt too quickly, right!?”
The other adventurer realized that what he wanted to say had been said first. Therefore, he felt choked up. After a long time, he finally said, “They said that women are made of water. That masked kid wouldn’t be made of oil, right!?”
At that moment, the duo suddenly heard an exclamation from the side. There was a middle-aged auntie who wore pelt armor and looked rather wealthy. She was covering her mouth and screaming, “Mmmfff, Mmmfff.”
After a long period of muffled screams, she then shouted, “That kid got eaten by the ground!”
Lin Yuan was now five meters underground. However, he wasn’t miserably squeezed between the sand. He was inside an iron cage that was made by the chain blade.
Lin Yuan stood in this chain blade made with ferromanganese and didn’t even dare to move an inch. Even though Lin Yuan was the Source Sand’s contractor, the ferromanganese’s metallic properties wouldn’t recognize its owner. A random movement would allow Lin Yuan to feel how a potato got its skin peeled.
Soon enough, Lin Yuan was lifted up to the surface by a giant hand that the Source Sand formed. The moment he left the ground, the chain blade quickly fused back into the sand.
Right at the moment of imminent peril, Lin Yuan suddenly felt something. The Source Sand instantly formed 1,000 pieces of feather made with the Day and Night Silver and formed four wings.
As soon as the four wings were formed, Lin Yuan immediately injected spiritual power, transforming the black wings into pure white wings. The white wings wrapped around and protected Lin Yuan in the center.
Subsequently, three violent energy blasts struck Lin Yuan’s white wings. Even with the Gold I/Fantasy I Source Sand’s strength, along with the Day and Night Silver’s shock absorption properties, Lin Yuan still felt a significant impact.
This impact made Lin Yuan feel pain in his innards. The impact might have inflicted pain to Lin Yuan, but there wasn’t any physical damage.
Had Lin Yuan not been constantly thinking about the fey-trapping metal shards and being 120% cautious, this surprise attack might have dealt severe injuries even with the defenses.
During this month, Lin Yuan was already used to the ruthless methods of how people were killed to obtain treasures. However, he didn’t expect anyone to be ambushing here within the valley and killing adventurers that just arrived.
At that moment, Lin Yuan could hear three coarse voices from outside.
“Big Brother, is that kid dead yet? His reaction was truly fast.”
“Not dead yet. Didn’t you see the white wings are still closed?”
“Big Brother, what is that fey? How is it able to grow wings on a person? I have never heard of it before.”
Lin Yuan’s white wings immediately received more attacks from fey abilities.
The three voices were obviously from three spirit qi professionals of the same team. The attacks received earlier were from two pinnacle Gold feys and one Platinum II/Elite fey.
Since it was an ambush, then it was obvious that the trio had used at least 80% of their strength.
Lin Yuan’s cold voice suddenly echoed under the white glistening wings. “Flare up, Source Sand!”
Once Lin Yuan gave the command, the purple-black ground within the valley collapsed and formed a quicksand that was close to one kilometer in radius. All of the quicksand formed layers that were constantly pushing downwards.
As the quicksand was stirring, it felt as though everything was going to be pulled close to 100 meters underground.
Upon hearing the three coarse exclaims, Lin Yuan’s pure white wings opened up and instantly turned black again.
