Chapter 769 The Adept Tower’s Trouble
Inside the main tent at the camp.
The various leaders and representatives of the adept clans were gathered together and silently watched everything happening on the light screen.
Sinister and chilling smiles appeared on their faces when they saw Third Grade Haines bogged down by Mary and the other two Second Grades. Some adepts who didn’t get along with the old vampire even let out cold snorts.
“Lord Yurga, what do you think? Do we need to send reinforcements to Lord Haines?” Some adepts suggested.
Everyone here could clearly see that the enemies were only able to square off with the old vampire due to the tower’s blessing. Once the camp sent out enough manpower, the Crimson adepts would not have enough power to threaten the many Second Grade adepts here.
Just as everyone got excited, the sinister adept sitting at the very front coldly said, “Everyone, have you forgotten how the Vik Family lost last time?”
Greem furiously took off the Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal and ended his conversation with Alice.
Though he was far away in the Elementium Plane, he still knew very well of what had happened recently in Fire Throne back in the World of Adepts.
If it weren’t for the repeated guarantees from Alice, Greem would not have been able to stop himself from returning.
“Do you want a group of teammates who can fight with you, or do you want a group of servants and subordinates that can only cheer you on? If you take the lead against everything that comes at you, and always place yourself in the most dangerous spot, do you think that Mary and the others have a chance to grow? Believe me, though they will encounter ‘certain’ levels of danger, this danger will be worth it in the long term. In fact, I would say it is necessary.”
Greem had no choice but to extinguish the idea to immediately return to Fire Throne when he thought of Alice’s well-meaning advice. He continued to carry out his exploration of the other plane carefully.
During this past month, he had successfully traveled several tens of thousands of kilometers and visited many strange lands of fire. More importantly, he had obtained a whole storage ring’s worth of fire treasures.
He had also run into some native Fire Lords of the Fire Elementium Plane during this period.
In a place as vast as the Fire Elementium Plane, any powerful fire creature could call themselves a Fire Lord. The land they ruled over could be a small fire pool that took up several dozen square kilometers, a remote fire valley, or even a massive stretch of volcanoes.
As for their power? They ranged from anywhere between First Grade to Third Grade.
Thus, along the way, Greem exterminated all First Grade Fire Lords that he encountered, adding more fire cores to his pouch. When he ran into Second Grades, he would test out their abilities and find ways to trap them and kill them if they were reasonably weak. After all, fire elementium creatures had simple and impulsive minds. They were easily baited with a bit of provocation.
Greem himself was also a powerful fire adept. When aided by the Flame Fiend of Terror, there was no powerful Fire Lord that could endure their combined devastation, especially if they prepared some hidden magical arrays ahead of time. Greem’s pouch had three Second Grade fire cores added to them during this journey.
Still, if you always go up the mountain, you will eventually run into a tiger. These killings eventually brought unnecessary trouble upon Greem!
Just a while ago, Greem had messed up and drew the ire of a Third Grade Flaming Tiger. Ever since then, he had been caught in endless pursuit.
He ran for over three thousand kilometers and crossed through the territories of seven or eight Fire Lords before he finally tricked the flaming tiger in another direction with an adept’s cunning and a fire clone. It was only then that he got the chance to find a fire cave to hide in and use his Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal to communicate with Alice for a moment.
It was only with Alice’s reassurance that Greem decided to let go of his worries of home and cast all his attention to the research and analysis of this strange world.
He had no choice but to admit that the Fire Elementium Plane was truly a higher plane that was worth dedicating time and effort to understand and master.
Firstly, the size of the plane was no smaller than the World of Adepts. It was also a large plane.
Secondly, the upper limit of energy it could endure within the plane was also much higher than the World of Adepts and most other material planes. After this period of analysis and research, Greem discovered that the Fire Elementium Plane could host elementium creatures as high as the Seventh Grade.
That meant Greem had to be extremely careful and cautious when exploring this plane. Otherwise, a small Second Grade fire adept like himself would not even be able to endure a single slap from a high-grade elementium. Even a Fourth Grade fire elementium could exterminate Greem without a chance for him to escape, let alone a Seventh Grade.
For a high-grade fire elemental, killing him was no more difficult than killing a fly!
