Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages

141 Traces of the Fire Stone

Seeing that the women by the roadside were still chatting, Fang Ping looked at them and felt sad.

Stockholm syndrome.

However, it had to be said that Claude was indeed a powerful leader.

The entire city was working hard and mining for survival.

Moreover, the next generation would either out of conformity or obedience enforced through authority. They would send their children out just for a chance to become a Professional.

In the end, all the profits were gathered in the hands of the ruling class, the City Defense Team, the Professionals, and Claude.

They stood at the top of the pyramid and sucked the blood of the entire city.

It was just that these children were pitiful. They were the most innocent group.

Fang Ping had experienced fire poison before. It was really hard to endure, and all of them were injured because of it. How painful was that?

Fang Ping did not dare to think about it.

Hell was empty, because the demons were in the human world.

…

There were already many people queuing outside Dog Head Gate. All of them were chatting and laughing.

“Young Master Chen Long said that there will be no limit to the mining of Flame Rocks in the future. Moreover, the price of each piece of Flame Rock will be doubled!”

“Really? You can earn from the first piece?”

“That’s right. I personally went to the Fire Dragon Border Fortress to listen.

“Let me tell you, there were many people there at that time. It was the first time I saw so many people. They were all cheering. Our Fire Dragon City has finally been reborn!”

“That’s great, that’s great! It’s good that Young Master Chen Long is back. I wonder if Grand Duke Dewey…”

“Duke Dewey will be fine!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Don’t think about it. Mine well. I want to dig up twenty pieces today! My son is back. Tonight, I’ll buy him a piece of meat to eat.”

Fang Ping and Qing Niao stood at the back of the team, watching their happy faces. They seemed to be having fun amidst hardships.

Humans were indeed very tenacious creatures.

Since he had nothing to do waiting here, Fang Ping asked the people in front about the Magical Beasts in the Lava World.

“Magical Beasts of the Lava World? I think I’ve heard someone say that there are big red fish in the lava. It’s just that I’ve been mining for so many years, but I’ve never seen them.

“Are you guys Professionals? Are you from the inner city?”

Perhaps Fang Ping’s Frost Set had given that impression. This was the standard for soldiers at the Fire Dragon Border.

“Yes, we’re going to the Lava World to complete a mission.” Fang Ping was too lazy to explain and agreed along.

“Inner city, inner city.” That person inadvertently took half a step back. The way he looked at Fang Ping became a little careful and respectful.

The other person behind him also leaned close to his ear. “I heard that people from the inner city can kill people if they want. The city guards won’t care.”

“Lower your voice! Two, two, big, big, Lords, do you guys want to stand in front? Later, it’ll be faster to go in.”

“No need. We’re not in a hurry.”

Then, Fang Ping realized that the people around him had quietly moved to the side, leaving a large circle beside them.

Fang Ping smiled helplessly. Chen Long was back, so what?

After successfully entering the Dog Head Gate, the Lava World seemed a little crowded today.

However, the people around them were familiar. After receiving the tools, they quickly dispersed into the vast Lava World.

There were fewer tools now. The soldier standing guard glanced at Fang Ping, then sized him up.

“From the inner city? Or the Elf City’s Elite Team?”

Fang Ping replied, “The Elite Team. I want to ask, how do we capture the Magical Beasts here and where can we encounter them?”

“Magical Beasts in the Lava World are rare. Moreover, they live deep in the lava and can’t be caught.

“I know. You came from Cooke’s place, right? That guy actually set his sights on the Lava World. I don’t know why he’s crazy.”

Fang Ping still did not give up. He continued to ask, “What do the Magical Beasts in the Lava World eat? Is there anything that can be used as bait?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it eats lava.”

There were still some people who had not left. One of them said, “Sir, I’ve seen a Magical Beast once.”

“Oh? Tell me about it.”

When the soldiers talked to these ordinary people from Fire Dragon City, they acted high and mighty.

“I once saw a man accidentally drop a Flame Rock into the lava when he was mining. Before it sank, it was eaten by a huge mouth.”

“Flame Rocks, right?” The soldier nodded. “Why are you still standing here? Go and mine! Do you need me to send you there?”

“No, no, no.”

The people around him quickly walked toward the pumice stones. Fang Ping also bowed to the soldier. “Thank you very much.”

“Let me remind you that purchasing and selling Flame Rocks is a serious crime. If you want to use them, you have to dig them yourself.”

“Okay.” Fang Ping nodded.

Flame Rocks were the foundation of Fire Dragon City. It was understandable for them to do this.

Then, he turned around and left.

...

“Fang Ping, you’re not holding a pickaxe.”

He grabbed his tools and left.

Next, he went to mine.

Regardless of whether he wanted to use the Flame Rock as bait or for Qing Niao’s cultivation, he had to dig it out first.

However, because there were many people from Fire Dragon City today, there were people mining on many pumice stones. Fang Ping and Qing Niao could only continue walking into the distance.

“Here will do.”

There was no one around. After walking for a long time, the scenery did not change. Other than the tall door shrinking, the surroundings were the same.

He continued his mining.

With his previous experience, he was more proficient now. He tapped the pickaxe gently and searched for traces of the Flame Rock.

This job was not tiring, but his movements had to be light. He could not let the entire floating stone shatter.

During the process, some people would pass by from time to time. There was no communication. After they realized that there were people, they would head to the nearby floating rocks.

...

Not long after, this floating stone was almost dug up. Other than the middle area that was used to walk back to the entrance, it was still intact. The surroundings were basically as high as lava.

Sitting in the middle of the pumice stones, Qing Niao took out the Flame Rock from his pocket. “Fang Ping, I dug up two pieces. How many did you dig up?”

“I, one piece…” Fang Ping had always felt that his luck was very bad.

“Fang Ping, let me cultivate first. We’ll change locations later. Do you want to cultivate too? The cultivation efficiency of Flame Rocks is really high.”

“Well, alright.”

Fang Ping did not want to use the Flame Rocks in the first place. The usage experience of this thing was really too poor. It could not be compared to the Characteristic Charge. It was much more efficient and not painful at all.

Since he had nothing to do, he might as well cultivate together.

Holding the Flame Rocks, he closed his eyes.

Fang Ping did not notice that Qing Niao, who was sitting beside him, quietly opened his eyes. He glanced at Fang Ping and took out two Flame Rocks from his pocket. He held four together in his hand before closing his eyes.

The red energy was extremely passionate. It rushed into his body at high speed. There was no buffer process. The swimming fire poison brought pain to his entire body, and his body temperature rose rapidly. Fang Ping gritted his teeth and endured. This was only one Flame Rock. He believed that he could last.

It felt like 10,000 years had passed. The red spots of light slowly decreased, and the temperature was also slowly decreasing.

Fang Ping’s tense body relaxed. It seemed that he had survived.

He exhaled and slowly opened his eyes. There was nothing in his hand. The Flame Rocks had been exhausted.
