In the vast, empty desert.
A circular and complex magic array gradually took shape under Tang Zheng's drawing, and faint mana fluctuations began to emerge.
The Evil Spirit Dog had returned to its original form and was guarding the Gray Dwarf Forging Minister, who was controlled by All-Race Charm.
"Alright."
As the last magic rune connected, Tang Zheng stood up and exhaled. Without hesitation, he stood in the center of the magic array.
Using the Third Tier Magic Dimensional Move he had mastered, he activated a higher-tier magic: "Mana Rise · Fifth Tier Magic · Teleport!"
Mad Meditation followed closely, replacing the mana consumption.
A semi-transparent mana glow flashed across Tang Zheng's body, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.
A prompt from the attribute panel followed: Discovered Fifth Tier Magic "Teleport". Requires Magic Caster Level (29-35). Current conditions met.

Skill: Teleport (Fifth Tier)
Cost: 25 MP Description: Perform instantaneous transfer. Can carry a small number of people. When the transfer distance is too far or the number of people carried is too large, the probability of transfer failure increases.
Can also perform long-distance teleportation, requiring prior marking of the destination.
...
After checking the information of the magic, Tang Zheng closed his eyes slightly and chanted in a low voice, "Teleport!"
Whoosh! His figure disappeared again.
When Tang Zheng reappeared, he had arrived in the southernmost volcanic area of Despair Valley.
A strong smell of sulfur rushed into his nostrils. As far as he could see, the sky was covered by thick black smoke.
Rumble!
A distant volcano emitted a thunderous roar, spewing out large amounts of magma from its crater.
"Fifth Tier Magic can teleport such a long distance?" Tang Zheng's face showed a surprised expression.
From his previous location to this volcanic area, the normal journey would take at least six to seven days, but using the Teleport magic, he easily arrived here directly.
Of course!
The reason he was able to teleport here accurately was not because Teleport could take him wherever he imagined.
This was not the top-tier teleportation magic Teleportation Gate.
Instead, Tang Zheng had specifically used Second Tier Magic Magic Mark to leave many marks on his route when he left the volcanic area.
Originally, it was to prevent himself from getting lost when he returned, but he didn't expect it to cooperate with the Teleport magic.
"Teleport."
Tang Zheng activated the magic again, instantly disappearing from the volcanic area and returning to the location of the Evil Spirit Dog.
"Woof."
The Evil Spirit Dog saw Tang Zheng returning and immediately wagged its tail and rubbed against him.
"Alright, alright." Tang Zheng smiled and rubbed the Evil Spirit Dog's head, excitedly experimenting with Teleport several more times.
He finally understood the magic.
Without a clear destination, the Teleport magic could only teleport him to a location he could see.
And when the distance of the view was too far, there would be some error in the Teleport process.
After figuring out the Fifth Tier Magic Teleport ability, Tang Zheng immediately began to draw the second magic ritual.
It took him more than half an hour.
With the completion of the Magic Ritual, Tang Zheng once again activated Mana Rise.
[Skill Point 76→75]
...
Skill: Greater Teleportation (Seventh Tier)
Cost: 35 MP Description: Performs instantaneous transfer. Can teleport to a greater distance, carrying more multiple people.
It can also perform long-distance teleportation, requiring prior marking of the destination.
...
The information descriptions of 'Teleport' and 'Greater Teleportation' are not much different, except that the "failure probability" has disappeared.
However, this is the biggest difference!
These two Teleportation Magic are essentially the same, but 'Greater Teleportation' has no probability of failure. Once activated, it can be transferred.
The Fifth Tier 'Teleport', not only has a probability of failure, but can also be interrupted by other Magic.
For example.
Shalltear used 'Greater Teleportation' to close the distance between herself and Bone King in the battle with Bone King, while Bone King could only use targeted Magic such as 'Teleportation Delay' to restrict her.
But he couldn't interrupt the casting of 'Greater Teleportation'.
Tang Zheng closed his eyes again, carefully sensed, then quickly opened his eyes and shook his head: "Sure enough, without being able to sense the marked location, even 'Greater Teleportation' cannot teleport back."
He left a Magic Mark in the Angelicia Mountain Range, but that Magic was only Second Tier Magic.
Due to the distance being too far.
Tang Zheng couldn't sense it at all, and naturally couldn't teleport through Magic.
He remembered that Bone King often used 'Greater Teleportation'. The other party would first use positioning-type Magic or intelligence Magic to determine the location before transferring.
"Worst case scenario, it seems I need to make some preparations." Tang Zheng looked at the Evil Spirit Dog and the Forging Minister, and sighed softly.
Next, Tang Zheng set up the Magic Ritual again, and also used the Magic Rise Ritual to improve the Fifth Tier 'Dragon Lightning', mastering the Seventh Tier 'Chain Dragon Lightning'.
[Skill Point 75→74]
Continue to repeat the operation.
He also raised the Fourth Tier Magic 'Papermaking' to the Sixth Tier.
...
Skill: Papermaking (Sixth Tier)
Cost: 30 MP Effect: Produces 150 sheets of High-Quality Paper.
...
[Skill Point 74→73]
A series of rituals, although there was no physical consumption, made Tang Zheng feel mentally exhausted. After all, setting up a Magic Ritual requires a high degree of mental concentration.
Fortunately.
All the Magic that Tang Zheng needed to improve had been improved. The only pity was the Seventh Tier 'Resurrection'.
Because the Faith-based Magic Caster Level was not enough, there was no way to master it.
"Mana Rise · Seventh Tier Magic · Papermaking!"
Tang Zheng's whole body's Mana vibrated, setting off an invisible air wave around him. This was not activating the ritual, but normally using the ability of 'Mana Rise'.
Sheets of paper that looked very tough, snow-white, and shimmering with magical luster quickly condensed in mid-air.
Only 100 sheets of Mana paper! "The Fourth Tier produced 300 sheets of paper, the Sixth Tier produced 150 sheets, and the Seventh Tier 'Papermaking' only has 100 sheets left."
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched. The amount of attenuation was a bit too large.
"20 sheets of paper can make a Magic Scroll of the same level. Currently, five Seventh Tier scrolls can be made, which is enough."
Tang Zheng rubbed his temples and looked at the sky: "It seems I can't go back today."
The night passed.
Middle Earth Month.
November 16th.
In the dry desert.
Five scrolls emitting obscure magical light were placed in front of Tang Zheng. With a wave of his hand, he stored the five scrolls into his Item Box.
"It's time to go back."
Tang Zheng thought of the Ancient Fire Dragon and Sun Angler that had forced him into the Magma Sea, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He raised both arms.
One hand grabbed the Evil Spirit Dog, and the other grabbed the Forging Minister.
"Teleport!"
Tang Zheng chanted softly.
Whoosh! At the location of the three figures, it was as if a collapse appeared in the air, first shrinking, then disappearing.
Volcanic area.
A pungent smell rushed over.
Tang Zheng frowned, then looked at the Evil Spirit Dog beside him, a hint of apology in his eyes: "Xiao Hei, next, you'll have to sleep for a while."
"Woof." The Evil Spirit Dog rubbed against Tang Zheng's palm, then nodded, seemingly understanding what was about to happen.
Tang Zheng revealed a hand blade, aiming it at the Evil Spirit Dog's neck, and struck it hard.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The Evil Spirit Dog's body softened, losing its breath without pain. Then, Tang Zheng casually crushed the Forging Minister's neck, killing him.
This was unavoidable.
Unable to Teleport directly back to the Northwest Continent, Tang Zheng could only enter the magma again in the same way he came, but neither the Evil Spirit Dog nor the Forging Minister could pass through the magma.
Tang Zheng could only kill them first and resurrect them after returning to the Northwest Continent.
Whoosh! Storing the corpses of the Evil Spirit Dog and the Forging Minister into the Item Box, Tang Zheng looked towards the depths of the volcanic area, his body leaping: "Flight."
Mana covered the surface of his body, quickly rising into the air.
Enduring the scorching heat and billowing black smoke above, he searched for a long time before finally finding the volcano from which he had been ejected by the erupting magma.
Boom! Boom!
The surrounding large volcanic clusters kept making vibrating rumbles, magma spurting out, and the soaring red light and black smoke permeated the numerous craters below.
"Wild Transformation!"
Tang Zheng hovered directly above the crater of the volcano, enduring the scorching heat, and took out the small Anglerfish from the Item Box.
His whole body began to squirm and shrink.
In two breaths, Tang Zheng had transformed into a small Anglerfish, falling straight down into the magma below.
Bang! Tang Zheng smashed into the magma, making a "glug" sound, and with the flapping of his fins, he burrowed into the depths of the magma in a puff of smoke.
Angelicia Mountain Range, Lava Zone.
This was a scarlet red area.
The Ancient Fire Dragon lay in the magma, only half of its head exposed. With the panting of its nostrils mixed with the high temperature of the magma surface, it turned into streams of scarlet flames.
It had been in the Magma Sea for more than half a month.
The injuries caused to it by that hateful human were too great. Even with the energy in the magma, the wound had not fully recovered.
The Ancient Fire Dragon could feel that there was a special curse power at the wound, affecting its recovery.
Bang~ Bang~ Petals of semi-liquid magma fireworks exploded around the Ancient Fire Dragon, and the splashed hot magma slid off the Ancient Fire Dragon's scarlet scales like ordinary water droplets.
A temperature of over a thousand degrees had absolutely no effect on it.
