”There is no other Element here, which means only Fire Magic is available here. However, from what I know, Mu Xumian is a Super Fire Mage too. Second, her Poison Element is quite strong! If you are confident in taking on her Super Fire Element and Super Poison Element, you can try letting her in,” Mu Bai interjected.

Mu Bai had met Mu Xumian before. The woman had tried recruiting him when he went to the capital. Mu Bai had rejected the offer, as he was not interested in joining the Mu Clan.

”If that's the case, it's too risky to let the woman in.” Mo Fan stroked his chin.

”Let's go deeper into the place, then. Perhaps we'll find something else,” Mu Bai suggested.

”We'll try going deeper first. If there's no other way, we'll lure the woman in and take her out. I now have three kinds of Soul-grade Fire, I should be able to take her on. I'm just worried about her Poison Element,” Mo Fan agreed.

The group of five ventured deeper. The place was more spacious than they had thought. It felt like they were walking over a vast land of gray rocks, if it wasn't for the orange burning mist hanging not far above them.

”Speaking of which, I think someone has been here before,” Lingling said.

”Someone has been here?” Mo Fan was surprised.

”Didn't they say no one has excavated the vein before?” Zhao Manyan said.

”Maybe it's just a rumor, it might be an exaggeration, or it might only reflect part of the truth. I've discovered a rock engraved with a Li Fan flower on it. It's obviously artificial,” Lingling handed her discovery to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan received the pebble. It was a natural pebble as smooth as a piece of jade. He could even see his own reflection on its surface. Both of its sides bore an elegant seal of a flower engraved with a red material.

The flower seal was a kind of symbol that represented some tribes, clans, and fortresses after the era of the Totem Beasts. Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat after he took a closer look at the symbol.

”Old Zhao, come take a look; does this look familiar to you?” Mo Fan showed the pebble to Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan moved closer and blurted out casually, ”What is it? Did we find a Totem Seal here, too?”

”No no no, it's definitely not a Totem Seal,” Mo Fan said.

Zhao Manyan took a closer look. He thought for a moment and said, ”Say, now that you mention it, I do feel like I've seen it before, but where from?”

”That's impossible, the things here are more than three hundred years old! How is it possible that you've seen it before?” Mui Qing asked.

”I think we'll find the answer if we keep going,” Lingling answered him.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan pondered as they followed the path now leading them down a slope.

The up and downslopes were not steep, appearing elegant and gentle. The sight was quite a shock to them.

As they went further in, they suddenly discovered broken white cliffs, and collapsed walls in ruins.

It was already unbelievable to see broken cliffs in a secluded place like this, let alone collapsed walls covered in weeds and vines!

Broken walls? Weeds?

The walls were obviously from some ancient society, but they were having a hard time believing that there were plants in a scorching place like this!

”Did you remember what the symbol was now?” Mo Fan was more convinced of his speculation when he saw the fallen walls.

Zhao Manyan stood still. His mind went blank for quite some time.

No f**king way!

He did see a similar sight, but it was in the distant continent of South America, in a secluded world hidden in a storm inside the Peru Desert Valley!

”I don't believe it, no f**king way!” Zhao Manyan suddenly burst into motion, and headed for the walls.

The others quickly followed him, worried that he might get into trouble. Zhao Manyan's reaction did not make any sense to them. It felt like the man was starting to believe that he was actually in the middle of an illusion!

Mo Fan was extremely shocked, too. He did not notice anything strange when he brought Mui Qing inside here originally. However, he also felt like he was in the middle of a dream, just like Zhao Manyan, when he saw the stone symbol that Lingling had found, and first beheld the fallen cliffs and broken walls!
