I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons

After two hours of rest, the magic power of the three finally returned to 80%.

After a simple inspection of the equipment, Andrew took the wand and the two of them into the gloomy and appalling red forest.

As soon as Andrew entered the forest and inhaled the air into his lungs, he felt dizzy.

It was just like the dizziness caused by nicotine when she first experienced smoking in her life.

Even if it was only the transition area, the magic power in the air had increased several times.

Andrew was surprised to find that his speed of magic power recovery also sped up after entering the transition area.

This made people involuntarily have a question.

How was that exactly? Did the air in Roland forest contain so much magic power?

In fact, Roland forest was not only the most dangerous place in the world but also the biggest devil mine in the world.

Medium and premium stage magic crystals, secret silver, refined gold, and massacring metal, more than 90% of the priceless magic crystals were extracted from the Roland forest.

"What treasure is there that makes you come to such a damned place?" Although Jo didn't want to talk to Andrew, she still felt uncomfortable in this dirty and weird environment.

She didn't understand why he took the risk to come to such a damned place.

There was no need for Andrew to hide anything. He said flatly, "firestone."

"Firestone?"

Andrew added, "natural."

"Natural firestone?" Jo and Taylor gasped.

In fact, the prices of all kinds of stones varied.

The cheapest of them should be ice and snow stones of the ice attribute. They were sold at any trial center of any school, and the average price ranged from 2 to 30 thousand.

Because the existence of the Night Empire had created perfect conditions for making ice and snow stones, the yield of ice and snow stones was astonishing.

But that was all.

The effect of the artificial ice and snow stones sold by the school was actually very limited, and they could not be compared with the natural ice and snow stones.

The stones of other attributes, even man-made ones, were extremely expensive and had no market.

Among them, the firestone was the most expensive. Even the man-made one was a rare treasure.

Naturally, the firestone was a treasure that had never been heard of. It could be called a top treasure in any country.

"Where did you get the news?" Jo wondered.

Andrew said indifferently, "It's none of your business. I'll give you enough reward after you finish it."

Jo pursed her lips and said scornfully, "Who wants your reward? Have you forgotten what happened the day before yesterday? I came to help you just to fulfill my promise."

"Really?"

Andrew smiled and didn't say anything. He focused his attention on the surroundings.

Strictly speaking, even in the transition area, this place was also a second-floor area. They couldn't slack off.

The reference strength for single exploration given by the magic association to the second floor was 1,000 magic power.

Andrew only had half of them. Even if he had helpers, he had to be extremely careful if he wanted to explore here. Otherwise, he would die without a doubt.

It was another four or five hours' walk.

Andrew finally arrived at the North District.

Strangely, they didn't encounter any fiends along the way.

The Roland forest was extremely dangerous, not only for humans but also for the fiends living here.

Without absolute certainty, the fiend would not casually attack. It was extremely careful.

Any reckless behavior could lead to self-destruction.

They were not attacked all the way, which was proof of the danger here.

Andrew focused all his attention on the perception.

The North District covered an area of four thousand hectares, which was already very terrifying.

Since the three of them were looking for an egg-sized stone, they couldn't move separately, and it was very likely that it was underground.

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"How can we find it?"

After searching for several hours, Jo gradually lost her patience.

"Be patient, Jo. Andrew will find a way." Taylor comforted her.

Andrew didn't answer. He just looked around in silence.

The air was filled with a large number of spores.

As they breathed for a long time, they felt a burning pain in their lungs.

They were not attacked all the way. Magic power had already been fully recovered, but they were a little weak.

Poisoned?

Not really.

It was hot and dry on their bodies, but it was not like the aphrodisiac that could make people's bodies burn.

It was pure hot.

The mushroom around them also gradually turned red as they walked forward.

"Attention, it should be this direction." Andrew reminded them cautiously, "The temperature around is rising."

As he spoke, he also covered the two of them with ice armors.

As Andrew expected.

Half an hour later, the mushrooms around them had completely turned golden.

The temperature of the air was also rising, and it had been breakthrough fifty degrees.

The temperature was unusual. It was at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Even if the temperature of the rain forest was high, it couldn't be so high.

Moreover, the original neutral magic power in the air had also changed to magic power with a small amount of fire attribute.

Magic power could change the whole environment.

There was no doubt that only the firestone had the power.

"Right!"

At this moment, Sarah's voice suddenly appeared in Andrew's mind.

Andrew was stunned.

"Sarah? Why... Don't you waste your time! You can only appear for ten minutes every day without the shackles of a witch."

"Cut the crap. Let you go to the right!"

Following Sarah's words, Andrew corrected the route to the right.

But on the way, he saw a very thick tree, but the main trunk was like a big tree that had been bitten by a brown bear.

"It's this tree. I vaguely remember that I was attacked by something before I died, and one of the attacks went wrong."

Sarah said in a gloomy tone as if she had recalled something bad.

Andrew calmed down and walked on carefully.

The temperature in the air continued to rise.

"The firestone itself doesn't produce heat, but when it doesn't have an owner, it automatically produces fire attribute magic power, which has changed the environment here in three hundred years."

Sarah carefully analyzed the current situation based on the surrounding environment, "There is no doubt that the environment here is mutated because of the firestone."

All of a sudden, Sarah said, "Be careful. The area of high mutation has appeared."

While they were talking.

Suddenly!

The mushroom at their feet, which looked like plants, suddenly exploded.

A large number of spores were sprayed into the air like a haze.

"Back off!" Andrew was shocked and stepped back with the three of them.

Ice barrier.

He used defensive magic almost instinctively, but the ice wall he erected was abnormally thin, only half of the normal thickness.

The ice attribute was suppressed?

Before Andrew could react, what happened the next second proved that Andrew's instinctive reaction was correct.

They saw a large number of dust-like spores glittering like metal.

Each one touched the trees, the ground, mushroom, and even anything around it, it would burn like the magnesium powder.

Although the burning power of each of them was only the power of firecrackers.

But there were more than a million of them?

As the spores spread.

All of a sudden, everything in front of them seemed to be bombarded and ignited one after another.

Andrew was shocked again!

Because he had a keen sense that the wind was heading in his direction.

Ice barrier

He used the ice barrier four times again to form an ice mist to cover himself and the two teammates.

The next second, a large amount of the spore fog came up.

The whole ice house was shrouded by the raging fire.

Each spore touched the ice barrier, it would detonate a flame that was smaller than a fist.

The power of one spore was so small that even ordinary people could only bear it.

But it was a mist.

Andrew's ice barrier was immediately exploded by tens of millions of small explosions like beehives.

After the spore mist blew over.

Andrew's ice house was riddled with holes, some of which even had finger-wide holes.

Jo and Taylor were shocked by what they saw.

The mushroom that it had just touched had such power?

Andrew's five-layer ice barrier could block eight punches from the giant demonic monster with all its strength.

The mushroom's explosive power almost caused the ice barrier to collapse?

How long could the ice armor on his body withstand such a series of explosions? One second? Or two seconds?

In front of them, there were still many mushrooms that could spread explosive spores? They looked exactly like ordinary mushrooms and could hardly be distinguished.

"Do you still want to move forward?" Taylor asked with a lingering fear.

Andrew looked serious.

The firestone was right in front of him. How could he give up?

"Wait here. I'll go in alone."

Then Andrew strode into the highly mutated area.
