485 Fiery Sorceress (2/2)

The plants were blazing red, like an ocean of autumn leaves, densely covering the place.

As the red leaves were falling to the ground, they were like candlelights dropping slowly in the air. If a strong gust happened to blow across the place, the candlelights would drift to the wind in the air, a spectacular sight!

A naked man was lying unconscious among the pile of red leaves. Many parts of his skin had festered from the burns, and his face was seriously scorched.

Beside the man, a fiery red, slightly elegant figure was quietly observing him. Her hand was holding a liquid produced from chewing the red leaves, which she fed the unconscious man by pouring it into his mouth.

The liquid seemed to be a great cure for the burns. As the liquid entered the man's throat, his festering wounds began to recover rapidly.

The energy from the lava was fairly pure, as it did not contain the poison or destructive power of some of the special flames. On the other hand, the unconscious man had a fairly strong Fire resistance. The heat was not the reason he had fainted, but the lack of oxygen.

The sun slanted, and slowly descended into the horizon. The man finally regained his consciousness during the evening.

Mo Fan opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings. He initially thought he was lying in the middle of a fire, but he was relieved when he discovered that it was only red leaves drifting in the wind. The leaves were soft, and as they had absorbed and stored energy from the sunlight, they were like a warm rug in this evening, which had gradually turned cold.

”Why am I here?” Mo Fan was confused. He clearly remembered he had drifted with the lava currents to the bottom of the hill.

As he looked around, he saw the sky around him. He was on the ground covered in red leaves, and occasionally, a cold wind similar to that at a high altitude would sweep past.

”I'm on the hill?” murmured Mo Fan.

He inspected himself, and discovered that there were no visible wounds on his skin, which was totally unbelievable.

As Mo Fan was totally confused, a bright-red human-figured creature slowly approached him. Its movement was strange, as the tip of its toes were slightly raised, and it was hovering above the ground. It was floating toward Mo Fan from a stand of few fiery trees around ten meters high.

It arrived beside Mo Fan, and even though its body was made of fire, to Mo Fan's surprise, he could not sense any heat coming from the creature.

Mo Fan watched it alertly. He tried to protect himself, yet it felt like all his bones had shattered. Just a slight movement caused great pain across his entire body. He could not even rise to his feet, let alone cast a Spell.

The fiery figure did not attack Mo Fan, but handed a delicious-looking fruit to him. It did not get any closer, as if it were worried that he would be afraid of it.

”For me?” asked Mo Fan in disbelief, as he glanced at the fruit which could both satisfy his hunger and treat his injury.

The fiery figure nodded.

”Are you the one that saved me and brought me here?” asked Mo Fan.

The figure nodded, as if it could totally understand his words.

Mo Fan immediately recalled that Chen Yi had mentioned how her mother was saved by a humanoid fiery creature the day she was swept away by the Fire Calamity.
