Chapter 657: Chapter 492: The First Target_1

```

The old mage’s workshop was filled with new technological devices, transforming it into a laboratory where magic and technology coexisted. When the fire dragon returned, it presented a list and several wanted posters, proclaiming, "These are the targets I’ve chosen, all vicious and evil beings. Killing them will also yield a hefty bounty!"

"Then these it is."

Zheng Yichen looked at the beings listed on the wanted posters, all of them non-human. Among them was even a fire dragon, whose image was far more ferocious than Klakauska’s dragon form. Even from the picture alone, one could sense its fierce aura.

"And one of your own kind?"

The fire dragon said nonchalantly, "So what? There are many who deserve death among the human race too, isn’t it normal for there to be scum within the Dragon Tribe?"

"This one has been using some evil Secret Techniques to sneakily attack his own kind to enhance the quality of his bloodline, and he was only recently exposed." Klakauska expressed contempt as he mentioned this. Swallowing one’s own kind was shameful for dragons; even when seeking revenge at his most furious, he considered smashing dragon eggs, not resorting to bloodline consumption as the more extreme method.

Well, he didn’t know such a taboo Secret Technique and wouldn’t choose that method even if he did.

"According to the Dragon Tribe’s investigation, at least twenty fire dragons have died by his hands. Having devoured so many of his kin, he may not be as powerful as a Demigod, but his strength won’t be too far off."

At least it would be as easy as fighting me playing around...

Klakauska muttered to himself, not sharing this thought with Zheng Yichen.

"Let’s go after him then." Zheng Yichen discerned the fire dragon’s intention of not starting with a Demigod as their quarry but rather choosing beings just below that level to hone their skills.

"We’ll have to hurry up then. This bounty involves the Dragon Tribe. Aside from them, Dragon Slayers will also be after this guy. Even if he hides in the Land of Infernal Flames, he won’t survive for many months unless he reaches Demigod status."

Demigod-tier entities are not so easily killed.

"I’ll be back as soon as possible. When Katrina and the others return, tell them about this matter," Zheng Yichen instructed Ahn Ke, then left. Necessities were already prepared; whether it was Ahn Ke or Katrina and the others, they were adults and wouldn’t starve.

"Shall we race?" Outskirts of Landen City, the fire dragon, back in its original form, issued a challenge to Zheng Yichen.

"Sure." Zheng Yichen gladly accepted.

"Roar! Let the race begin—" Flames erupted on the fire dragon’s wings, utilizing a speed-enhancing magic. As it took flight, it left a long trail of flames behind, reminiscent of the tail of a jet’s afterburner.

The motorcycle Zheng Yichen was riding roared as its speed maxed out, causing visible spatial distortion around it.

"...Is the bike this powerful?" Along the walls of Landen City, the mages who gathered to watch were wide-eyed as Zheng Yichen sped away; some even used detection magic to enhance their vision. Yet, Zheng Yichen soon vanished from their sight.

But the power the vehicle displayed was seen by them. The Wind type’s enhancement was common magic used on transport vehicles to boost their magic power, and Fire type was involved as well—however, achieving faster acceleration through spatial distortion was quite a difficult feat.

Spatial magic is well-known for its high difficulty level, and misuse can easily lead to self-injury.

At high speeds, spatial distortion isn’t like a spatial rift, but if handled improperly, the twisted space can still be like a taut and thin steel wire across the path, instantly slicing to death those who are too slow.

The danger is high, but such a scene is just so cool!!

As for the fire dragon maintaining its blazing flight, there wasn’t much to note; the dragons could fly fast but wouldn’t carry them, whereas a superior magic-powered vehicle could be acquired through various means.

Moreover, the fire dragon’s speed had already been blasted to shreds by the vehicle racing on the ground.

Zheng Yichen, leading the way, couldn’t hear the fire dragon grumbling behind him. The route issue had already been solved thanks to the map provided by the fire dragon. Lilith had recorded the world map of this world. While not detailed to every village, all the major places were marked.

Lilith had already planned out the route from Landen City to the Land of Infernal Flames before departing.

"Slow down, slow down, I can’t take it anymore, I give up." The fire dragon’s voice came through, using magic to transmit his message, which caused the voice to sound a bit odd.

Normal voice couldn’t keep up with them anymore.

Zheng Yichen slowed down as the fire dragon caught up, panting, "Huff, huff—Living in a low environment has quite an impact on me. In the past, I could have flown double this distance... Hmm, we’re not too far from the Land of Infernal Flames now. We’ll get there soon enough at a normal speed."

```

The fire dragon in the sky normally travels much faster than the speed of commercial flights.

Zheng Yichen watched the projection map next to him. They had missed quite a few areas that revealed the culture and customs of this world during their race, such as an elf forest they passed an hour ago. There are several places in this world known as elf forests.

Being named so means that the forest is elven territory. According to the records left by an old mage that Lilith scanned, the elves of this world still align with the beautiful fantasy depicted in some works.

The slight difference is that elves are not at all frail. Even if some of them appear fragile, they indeed aren’t like some games’ settings, where they’re high in agility but weak in strength.

In fact, due to a different internal body structure from humans, elves are not only agile but also strong. Moreover, they aren’t very xenophobic, probably because the power hierarchy in this world is quite high.

The Land of Infernal Flames is a region that can be seen distorted from afar, with burning flames warping the air, making it a nearly uninhabitable wasteland. This place also contains several rifts to Hell, the influence of Hell’s breath tainting the flames with its essence.

Hence, it was named the Land of Infernal Flames.

"There is a contaminated fire element master in this area. That being’s power could compare to some True Gods," explained the fire dragon about the origin of the Land of Infernal Flames. The contaminated fire element master induced changes in this environment, turning it into a land of unquenchable flames.

"Some suspect that the fire element master turned frenzied and contaminated because it tried to steal the power of Hell..."

"So, you mean to say that if we enter now, we might encounter the contaminated fire element master?" Zheng Yichen wasn’t too interested in elemental creatures, mainly because such beings had nothing good to absorb. They didn’t have blood, and as for their souls, they were probably similar to energy beings like Evil Spirits. To reach their souls, one must first strip away their energy body.

That was more troublesome than killing a living enemy.

"Uh, normally not. Although the fire element master is insane when awake, it spends most of the time under the influence of a True God’s power in a slumbering state. That’s the power left by a True God; it’s not easy to awaken this place’s fire element master."

At this point, the voice of the fire dragon lowered somewhat: "There are even some conspiracy theories, which say that the Land of Infernal Flames was purposefully created, because after the fire element master fell asleep, this place was used by some beings as a special ’furnace’."

The fire dragon didn’t specify who these beings were, but it was most likely related to gods.

As they approached the Land of Infernal Flames, the cat spirit cloak on Zheng Yichen turned from gray to black. The cat spirit used attribute reversal, as the Spirit of Blessing state conflicted with the infernal flames here, and the Spirit of Curse state was more suitable. Zheng Yichen, on the other hand, ignored the impact of the infernal flames environment with his robust constitution.

The toxic gases contained in the air were disregarded by his specially enhanced lungs.

The fire dragon smacked its tongue in such an environment, mumbling some displeased comments. It looked uncomfortable but seemed unaffected nonetheless.

Zheng Yichen waved his fishing rod, and Hellfire touched the infernal flames of this place, causing a conflict that was neither too big nor too small.

The flames here weren’t Hellfire; the fire was from the contaminated and fallen flames of the fire element master, carrying the essence of Hell but not originating from Hell’s native flames.

"Be careful with that weapon of yours, it might be noticed by some being. The True God might not intervene directly, but demigods may trouble you before you prove your strength," the fire dragon said aside. After entering the Land of Infernal Flames, it became a walking earth dragon.

"Prove my strength?" Zheng Yichen raised an eyebrow. "How so? Like, by taking down a few demigods?"

The fire dragon nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, that’s the quickest way to prove your strength. If demigods ask for your weapon, it’s a serious insult to a warrior. You would be fully justified in taking them down... uh, best to do it before they open their mouths to offer compensation."

Zheng Yichen picked up a stone from the ground and knocked it. The very hot stone made a clear, crisp sound. He threw the stone into the Universal Toolbox in the motorbike. A large quantity of gravel was ejected, and then a finished bullet head fell into his hand: "The iron content here is quite high."

"Tsk tsk, this place is said to be used as a furnace by some special beings."

Seeing Zheng Yichen remain as casual as if nothing was wrong, the fire dragon smacked its lips. It felt quite uncomfortable here, whereas Zheng Yichen seemed completely unaffected, making it wonder whether Zheng Yichen’s resistance was stronger or his equipment made the difference.

"How about we do the on-site investigation later, and find our target first?" the fire dragon proposed. It really felt uncomfortable here and wanted to find the target fast and leave the place.

"No need to search, I’ve already found it," Zheng Yichen said as he threw the bullet head back into the Universal Toolbox. Upon arriving here, he had activated his thermal vision. Although everything looked reddish in a big area, his thermal vision had long been able to differentiate layers of heat. Searching for specific targets was enough despite the area being somewhat hard on the eyes, unless those targets could perfectly synchronize their emitted heat and power with the environment.

Achieving such a level would deceive his thermal vision. However, Zheng Yichen now possessed not only thermal vision but also Blood Perception and the Extraordinary mental perception brought by the Great Evil God. The moment he arrived at the Land of Infernal Flames, Zheng Yichen had already spotted the target’s location.
