Chapter 275 – Mountain of Flames (1/2)

Since Lin Xi sent manpower to help Lucas build the Teleportation Portal, Fatty no longer bothered with it. From Black Tortoise City, he teleported to Sky City, then used the Recall Scroll to reach Iron Chain Town, before paying some gold coins to use the Teleportation Portal there to arrive at the Imperial Capital.

This time in Iron Chain Town, Luo Kun said straight out that Fatty needed to pay a fee for the teleportation. The first time was free because Fatty helped them deal with the monsters, while the next several times was because he was with Lucas and Reck. However, this kind of military Teleportation Portal wasn’t open to normal people. Luo Kun let Fatty use it because of their relationship. If it was someone else, Luo Kun wouldn’t allow them to touch the portal even if they paid for it.

Of course, it still depended on the amount of money. If someone offered high enough, the general certainly wouldn’t let the portal sit idly.

Fatty scoffed at this, but this brat Luo Kun had skin several times thicker than his and was much more powerful in strength. After counting the gold coins Fatty gave, Luo Kun waved his hand, and Fatty appeared in the Imperial Capital.

Seeing Fatty come out, the NPC soldiers guarding the Teleportation Portal stirred a little. However, Fatty had used this back and forth several times and left an impression, so they didn’t tie him up for interrogation like last time.

“Master Karl, you have any Divine item to provide me? I wanna go kill some Divine monsters for fun,” blabbered Fatty as he entered the smithy.

“Not to say that I don’t, even if I do, are you sure you can defeat a Divine beast?” The shirtless Karl who was forging something simply didn’t take Fatty seriously.

“Who knows? How about we make a bet?” Fatty found himself a chair to sit down.

“Bet on what?” Karl tossed the steel block into the water tank. White smoke billowed out with a sizzle.

“You give me a Divine item, and we’ll see if I can kill a Divine beast.”

“Tch!” Karl only threw back a sound. He wiped his hands with a tattered towel, then gulped down half a bucket of water. “Say it. What are you here for?”

“For your God Destroyer Crossbow, of course.” Fatty looked up. “I couldn’t find any Meteor Iron Ores.”

“Then why are you here speaking nonsense?” Karl nearly threw the half-a-human-tall steel block at Fatty.

“What’s with the hurry? You’re so old yet don’t even have a bit of patience.” Fatty rolled his eyes. “While I couldn’t find any ores, I found a large number of meteorites enough to extract over a thousand Meteor Iron Ores.”

“Meteorites? Where?” Hearing about the meteorites, Karl ignored Fatty’s scornful tone.

“Sky City.”

“Sky City? You found Sky City? Right, I heard that Sky City got an owner. It wouldn’t happen to be you?” Karl suddenly remembered something as he scanned Fatty from top to toe.

“You’re right, it’s exactly this Lord Fatty.” Fatty smugly stood up. “The meteorites aren’t ores, so I can’t put them in my storage. If you want them, go to Sky City and refine them yourself.”

“Okay,” after saying so, Karl actually packed up immediately and was ready to set out.

“There are also Mega Dragon Skeletons there,” Fatty added.

“Really?” Karl’s face was full of delight. “It seems my information is reliable, indeed, Sky City used to be the lair of the sacred Mega Dragon clan. I wonder if there are enough bones for me to fix the crossbow.”

“Absolutely enough.” Fatty remembered the nine massive skeletons deep underground of Sky City, and also that round orb at the center.

“Great. Since you’re the lord of Sky City, give me an area where I can build a workplace so that I won’t have to run back here,” Karl said straightforwardly.

“Okay. You can just go to Master Reck or Saint Magus Lucas for that.”

Currently, Fatty didn’t have many missions left, and the most important among them was, “Restoring the God Destroyer Crossbow.” However, that mission required too many materials. So far, Fatty only found the Mega Dragon Skeletons and the Meteor Iron Ores.

Next, Fatty wanted to locate the Fire Paulownia Wood.

Fire Paulownia Wood was a rare advanced material used to forge equipment to greatly enhance the toughness.

“I don’t know where to find this Fire Paulownia Wood, but you might as well try the Mountain of Flames, there’s a chance that place has it,” Karl told Fatty.

In the vicinity of Vermilion Bird City, if the Fire Valley was the land of fire monsters, then the Mountain of Flames was the gathering spot for fire Yao beasts.

The Mountain of Flames stretched for tens of thousands of miles, towering into the clouds and entirely fiery red. Most of the plants here were less than three meters tall with both branches and leaves being red in color.

Even when he was some distance away from the Mountain of Flames, Fatty could already feel the oncoming heat that was almost suffocating.

Zoom! A fiery red fox whizzed past Fatty. Curious, it stopped and turned around to inspect him.

“Huh? Pretty looks! You can sell for a high price.” Fatty waved at the little fox.

Puff! As if it understood what he said, the fox spat a fireball at him.

“Ouch, ouch!” Fatty quickly jumped off the Dark Unicorn and dodged the attack.

Boom! The fireball blasted a crater over four meters wide. After all, this was a high-ranked monster in the Mountain of Flames, even a random fireball was extraordinary.

The second Fatty landed, he tossed Appraisal.
