Suddenly, flames began to rise from the ground. The flames seemed to appear out of thin air, without any manipulation or trace of using source magic to generate them. They were as if they had always been born on this land.
The raging fire seemed to rise from the depths of the earth, resembling fire yet not quite fire.
Feng Changge sensed it briefly and knew that although these things looked like flames, they were actually fundamentally different from fire-attribute elements.
Before Feng Changge could even reveal his discovery, the flames changed shape. What had been a pillar of iron erupting forth instantly melted away and fell to the ground.
The fire actually flowed along the ground and spread, and gradually, countless flames covered the ground.
Looking around, the ground had turned a terrifying fiery red.
Even Lin Yu and the ground beneath Feng Changge were not spared; the two were now standing amidst a fiery red glow.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
How could Lin Yu be so passive?
With a slight brow twitching, an invisible source technique power poured out, forcefully separating those flame-like things.
"These despicable bastards, unable to achieve their goals, are resorting to this kind of coercion!"
"Do they really think they can force us to stay here and achieve their goal with mere source techniques? What a rabble!"
Feng Changge said in unison.
Lin Yu had already summoned the Hongmeng System in his mind, because he sensed that something was wrong with this place.
"System, deduce where we are and what's going on with the red flames on the ground!" Lin Yu hurriedly said in his mind.
"Ding! Deduction in progress... Deduction complete... (Click to view details!)" The system's crisp notification sound rang out quickly.
"View details!" Lin Yu replied almost immediately.
"Ding! Analysis indicates this location is a special volcano within the Twelve True Palaces! Due to special restrictions, the Hongmeng System will be limited here, only able to use ordinary abilities... Ding! Ding! Ding..."
Finally, there was a series of notification sounds from the Hongmeng System, which grew increasingly faint.
In just a moment, the Hongmeng System's notification sound disappeared, indicating that it could not provide Lin Yu with any further information.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. The restrictions of the Twelve True Palaces were truly extraordinary, as they were able to even restrict the Hongmeng System.
Previously, the Hongmeng System had always been invincible in the fantasy world, but now it has met its match.
"Those important figures from the Twelve True Palaces are indeed quite capable, managing to seal the Primordial Hongmeng System using the power of Origin Techniques," Lin Yu thought to himself in admiration.
While Lin Yu was investigating, Feng Changge panicked and anxiously asked Lin Yu, " Lin Yu, what should we do now? We must think of a way and get out of here as soon as possible!"
"The most urgent task is to find the exact location."
"Generally speaking, teleportation is a technique that combines the power of multiple source techniques. As long as we find the right way to operate these source techniques, we have a chance to return the way we came."
