Chapter 674: Chapter 674 - 674: 674: A World of Ice and Fire_1

The man with the mustache grumbled, “Why are we in such a rush? I’ve been running for so long, at least let me eat something.”

“Eat my ass! After this is done, I’ll treat you to whatever you want.” Ethan Smith said, dragging the man with the mustache along.

The man with the mustache was still unhappy and said, “Hey, I can’t work without having some food…”

“Don’t you want to see the mask?” Ethan Smith rolled his eyes.

At the mention of this topic, the man with the mustache suddenly perked up.

He waved his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it, no time to eat, let’s go!”

So, Ethan Smith followed the man with the mustache, leaving Green Moon Villa that very day.

Not long after Ethan Smith left, the purple robes from the Capital City Martial Arts Association and representatives from the major families arrived at Green Moon Villa.

The villa was filled with an atmosphere of solemnity.

Several top-ranking Marquises stood on the square.

Although they restrained their aura, the momentum they exuded still made people shudder.

“Who… are you looking for?” Polly Reeves could see that these people were not to be messed with and tried to be as polite as possible.

“Where is Ethan Smith?” one of the purple robes asked coldly.

“Mr. Smith just left, and it seems like he went out on business,” Polly Reeves replied.

The man in the purple robe frowned slightly, his body floating up slowly, then his terrifying divine sense directly enveloped the entire Green Moon Villa!

A few minutes later, the man in the purple robe said coldly, “He’s not here.”

“How long has he been gone?” someone looked at Polly Reeves and asked.

Polly thought for a moment and replied, “About half an hour.”

“Half an hour… He hasn’t gone far, chase!” one of the purple robes commanded.

The people immediately left Green Moon Villa to search for Ethan Smith.

…

At this time, Ethan Smith was following the man with the mustache, using various means of transportation to find the final material.

The land of Pyro was vast and rich, and their destination was still in the most desolate part of the northwest of the country.

After taking a plane, a car, and a donkey cart,

The two arrived at a desert after a long and bumpy journey.

Standing on the edge of this desert, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a wave of scorching heat.

“Are you sure the material is here?” Ethan Smith frowned.

This place didn’t seem like a place where treasures could be found.

The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, “I’ve already checked out this place several times, just follow me.”

After saying this, the man with the mustache took out a compass.

He followed the direction indicated by the compass, leading Ethan Smith into the desert.

There were no people in this desert, only endless sand and wind.

It took them a whole day and night of walking to finally see the treasure that the man with the mustache had mentioned, and they found it getting hotter and hotter.

“Is this reliable?” Ethan Smith frowned.

The man with the mustache impatiently said, “Stop rushing. You can’t eat hot tofu if you’re anxious. Just follow me.”

Ethan Smith had no choice but to follow the man with the mustache into the darkness.

The next day at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Ethan Smith stood in the desert, sweat-soaked clothes clinging to his body.

“Why is it so hot…” He wiped the sweat from his face, feeling like he was about to catch fire.

The man with the mustache looked even worse, his face red and swollen from the heat, almost dehydrated.

“We’re almost there, just ahead,” the man with the mustache said weakly.

After walking several more miles, a huge pit appeared before the two of them.

The closer they got to the pit, the more intense the heat became.

The man with the mustache panted and said, “It’s in that pit.”

Ethan Smith leaned on his body and quickly walked to the edge of the pit.

To his surprise, the pit was filled with burning flames!

These flames were incredibly hot, thousands of times hotter than ordinary flames!

“In there?” Ethan Smith pointed at the fiery pit, doubt written on his face.

“Yes.” The man with the mustache wiped his sweat.

“These flames are said to be true fire, and with my body, even a tiny touch would turn me into thick water.”

Ethan Smith frowned and asked, “True fire? So, the temperature in this place is all because of this huge pit?”

“That’s right.” The man with the mustache nodded.

Ethan Smith picked up a handful of sand from the ground and threw it into the fiery pit.

The moment it touched the fire, the sand instantly vanished.

“What a high temperature!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gasp.

“Even with my flesh and blood, jumping in would probably result in severe injuries.”

The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, “If it weren’t difficult, why would I ask you to do it?”

Ethan Smith looked down at the huge pit, and at a glance, it seemed to have no bottom.

The oncoming heat wave almost burned his face.

“What, are you scared?” The man with the mustache teased from the side.

“If you’re too afraid, there’s still time to turn back.”

Ethan took a deep breath, determination flashing across his face.

“In order to revive those two male corpses, I have to go down,” Ethan said through gritted teeth.

He cautiously reached his hand into the flames, and the moment they touched, Ethan’s hand was immediately engulfed by the fire!

The flames were extremely fierce, and in just an instant, they burnt Ethan’s palm, tearing open the skin and flesh!

“No way.”, Ethan Smith hurriedly extinguished the flames.

He frowned, “If I jump in, I will surely die.”

The man with the mustache spread his hands and said, “I’ve already thought of many ways and tried using magical artifacts for protection, but none of them worked.”

“All magical artifacts can’t withstand this true fire, so it’s up to your special constitution.”

Ethan Smith said sternly, “If my cultivation were to advance another step, maybe I could walk out of these flames alive, but right now… it’s impossible.”

Considering the mere touch instantly burned Ethan Smith’s hand, leaping into the pit would undoubtedly be deadly.

“Anyway, the item is underneath this fiery pit. If you can’t get it, you won’t be able to control those two male corpses,” the man with the mustache said, spreading his hands.

Ethan Smith’s expression couldn’t help but turn grim, finding himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“If you really can’t do it, just give up,” the man with the mustache pulled Ethan Smith.

“After all, there are plenty of other ways to save people, and you don’t have to rely solely on those two corpses, right?”

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “No, this is currently the fastest method.”

The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, “Then just jump in.”

Ethan Smith stood in front of the fiery pit for a long while without saying a word.

Suddenly, he slapped his head and exclaimed, “That’s it!”

“I figured it out!” Ethan Smith said excitedly.

He quickly took the coffin of the masked woman from the Spatial Magic Artifact!

The moment the coffin appeared, the temperature immediately dropped by several degrees!

Ethan Smith pointed to the coffin and said, “If I hide in this coffin, won’t I be able to avoid the flames?”

In that instant, the man with the mustache was stunned. He scratched his head and said, “You’re really a genius! But… can this coffin withstand the true fire?”

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but I can only give it a try.”

“Later, when I get into the coffin, you throw the coffin down,” Ethan Smith instructed.
