"Those fools, how would they know the power of Hermes?"
Several Volcanic Giants echoed him.
They were also Mid-Gods, but lacked Hermes' perseverance. They didn't dare to become Mid-Gods by fusing Profound Mysteries.
They were afraid of getting stuck at a bottleneck.
For the Volcanic Giant race, quickly comprehending the Fire Element Law to become a High-God was more important.
Because in their entire vast Volcanic Giant tribe, only Salasis himself was a High-God so far.
For the tribe, they desperately needed more High-God tribesmen to protect themselves.
"Since you've decided to leave, please allow me to offer the friendship of our Salasis clan."
A crimson crystal suddenly appeared in Salasis's hand.
"What is this?" Hermes asked in surprise. He could feel the dense fire element on the crystal.
"It's nothing too precious. It's just a Flame Crystal that accompanies our Volcanic Giants."
The old man with the red beard was actually a little sad at this moment.
"It carries the aura of our Volcanic Giants and can make the surrounding flame energy several times more concentrated."
Salasis said with utmost sincerity.
"Furthermore, only a Flame Crystal willingly given by my clan will have such a divine effect."
An increase of several times the energy could indeed not be considered a treasure.
Because this was the Supreme Plane.
Apart from Destruction, the Seven Great Elements and the three major rule systems had very balanced energies.
In Hell!
As long as one was willing to search, one could always find places where single-element energy was tens or even hundreds of times more concentrated.
However, such treasure lands were often fiercely contested by the strong.
For the weak, the cities of the God Realm were indeed a good place to guarantee safety.
But for the strong or beings striving to become strong, cities were never the primary consideration.
To improve strength, repeated battles were unavoidable.
In addition, a blessed land suitable for oneself was also essential.
"Hahaha, thank you."
Hermes had no reason to refuse this kind of crystal, especially treasures related to the dual elements of earth and fire.
"By carrying this, it's like carrying a small fire blessed land with me at all times?"
Compared to the Earth Clone, who became a god by naturally comprehending the Mysteries of Power, Hermes' Fire Element Talent was weaker.
Not only that, but he hadn't dared to comprehend any Profound Mystery of the Fire Element Law to become a god yet.
Of course, he was worried about weakening his Soul. Now that he had obtained the Flame Crystal, although it couldn't improve his Talent, it was still somewhat useful.
"I also heard that you have Talent in the Flame Law. This several-fold increase in energy is just a little something."
Salasis accepted Hermes' thanks with limitations.
"That's still great!"
Hermes said.
"I will go to other continents and even other God Planes in the future. It's impossible for every place to be as rich in elemental energy as Hell."
This was indeed true.
"You're truly free!"
Salasis felt a little envious because, burdened by his entire clan, he couldn't go wherever he pleased.
Unless another High-God tribesman was born in the tribe, he could only be confined to the Bis Volcano Group.
It was normal to feel envious.
The vast volcanoes covered an area of a million li, with everything being a dark red. White mist occasionally rose from the junction of underground dark rivers and magma.
The strong smell of sulfur could be detected even from a distance, and occasionally, there were the white bones of various magical beasts or humans.
Nothing grew here.
The environment was extremely harsh.
Apart from the concentrated flame energy, there was almost nothing good about it.
Only a few creatures adapted to the volcanic environment survived.
This is not a Material Plane volcanic range; these are the volcanoes of the Hell within the Destruction Supreme Plane.
Their power cannot be underestimated.
A hundred million li west of Mount Bisp, an ancient city stands eternal.
Yilan City!
After bidding farewell to the Salasis Tribe, Hermes arrived at the nearest city, Yilan City.
It was the direction indicated by Salasis, the chief of the Volcanic Giants.
Although Volcanic Giants prefer to reside in Mount Bisp, they are not entirely isolated from the outside world.
Every once in a while, whether it be a thousand or ten thousand years, Salasis would lead his kin to Yilan City for some purchasing.
Inside the Demon Castle in Yilan City.
Hermes calmly selected the items he needed.
"Shadow of the Cold Moon, give me a hundred of this model."
When flying in the wilderness, the best method is to use Metal Life.
Although traveling by Divine Power is faster, riding Metal Life can save more than ninety percent of Divine Power.
"And Starships, give me 10 of these."
The prices of different models of Metal Life varied greatly.
Because Hermes' Golden Space had swallowed most of his Ink Stones, he wasn't very wealthy.
The Shadow of the Cold Moon is an older model, and many alchemists can produce it.
Its price had long since dropped.
But the 'Starship' is different; it's the latest creation of a renowned alchemist in Hell.
Other alchemists currently lack the ability to replicate it.
"Speed is 50% faster, yet the price is more than ten times higher."
While praising the superior quality of the new Metal Life, Hermes also complained about the alchemist's greed.
Yes, no problem.
Only a true buyer would find fault.
Besides, he couldn't find any fault with the Starship, except perhaps its price.
"I never thought I, old Hei, would ever complain about something being too expensive."
Hermes chided himself.
Because bandits were always trying to rob him, his Golden Space had unknowingly accumulated a large amount of wealth.
If he hadn't swallowed most of it, Hermes wouldn't have even blinked before buying Metal Life.
After emptying a Space Ring, he had no intention of leaving.
This time, he wouldn't leave until he had spent all his Earth Crystals and Ink Stones.
Who knows when he would visit again.
Hermes continued to select the supplies he needed within the Demon Castle of Yilan City.
His gaze swept over the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, finally resting on a row of exquisite magic scrolls.
"Are these Teleportation Scrolls?"
Hermes asked the merchant with demon horns beside him.
The demon horn merchant bowed repeatedly, a fawning smile on his face:
"Yes, Lord! These Teleportation Scrolls can instantly transport you to a designated area, making them invaluable treasures for escaping battle or for rapid movement!"
He didn't look down on Hermes for being a Middle God. Although the demon horn merchant's smiles were formulaic, Hermes could still feel his spirit of service.
"You know how to do business; you will surely be famous throughout Hell in the future."
Flattery goes a long way. In a world like the Coiling Dragon World, where strength reigns supreme, it's incredibly difficult to get ahead in business without power.
If you have a unique skill and happen to buy a house in the city, you could certainly live a life of wealth.
Anyone who dares to act within the city, even a Seven-star Demon, wouldn't have the guts.
"May I see them?" Hermes pointed at the Teleportation Scrolls, a field he had never encountered before.
It even touched upon his blind spots of knowledge.
"Certainly!"
The demon horn merchant gritted his teeth and agreed to Hermes' impolite request.
