Chapter 674: Chapter 674 Into The Fiery Pit
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," I 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?" I rolled my 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, I followed the man with the mustache, leaving Green Moon Villa that very day.
——
Not long after Mason Raymond 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 a heavy atmosphere.
Several top-ranking Marquises stood on the square.
Although they held back their aura, the power they gave off still made people tremble.
"Who... are you looking for?" Ximena Santos could see that these people were dangerous and tried to be as respectful as possible.
"Where is Mason Raymond?" one of the purple robes asked coldly.
"Mr. Raymond just left, and it looks like he went out on business," Ximena Santos replied.
The man in the purple robe frowned slightly, his body rising slowly, then his terrifying divine sense directly covered 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 Ximena Santos and asked.
Ximena 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 Mason Raymond.

At this time, I 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 our destination was still in the most barren part of the northwest of the country.
After taking a plane, a car, and a donkey cart, we arrived at a desert after a long and bumpy journey.
Standing on the edge of this desert, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of burning heat.
"Are you sure the material is here?" I frowned.
This place didn’t look like a place where treasures could be found.
The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, "I’ve already scouted this place several times, just follow me."
After saying this, the man with the mustache took out a compass.
He followed the direction shown by the compass, leading me into the desert.
There were no people in this desert, only endless sand and wind.
It took us a whole day and night of walking to finally see the treasure that the man with the mustache had mentioned, and we found it getting hotter and hotter.
"Is this reliable?" I frowned.
The man with the mustache impatiently said, "Stop rushing. You can’t eat hot tofu if you’re anxious. Just follow me."
I had no choice but to follow the man with the mustache into the darkness.
The next day at noon, the sun was blazing.
I stood in the desert, sweat-soaked clothes sticking to my body.
"Why is it so hot..." I wiped the sweat from my face, feeling like I was about to burst into flames.
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 us.
The closer we got to the pit, the more intense the heat became.
The man with the mustache panted and said, "It’s in that pit."
I leaned on my body and quickly walked to the edge of the pit.
To my surprise, the pit was filled with burning flames!
These flames were incredibly hot, thousands of times hotter than ordinary flames!
"In there?" I pointed at the fiery pit, doubt written on my 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."
I 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.
I 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!" I 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?"
I looked down at the huge pit, and at a glance, it seemed to have no bottom.
The oncoming heat wave almost burned my 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."
I took a deep breath, determination flashing across my face.
"In order to revive those two male corpses, I have to go down," I said through gritted teeth.
I cautiously reached my hand into the flames, and the moment they touched, my hand was immediately engulfed by the fire!
The flames were extremely fierce, and in just an instant, they burnt my palm, tearing open the skin and flesh!
"No way," I hurriedly put out the flames.
I 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."
I 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 my 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.
My expression couldn’t help but turn grim, finding myself stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"If you really can’t do it, just give up," the man with the mustache pulled me.
"After all, there are plenty of other ways to save people, and you don’t have to rely solely on those two corpses, right?"
I shook my head and said, "No, this is currently the fastest method."
The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, "Then just jump in."
I stood in front of the fiery pit for a long while without saying a word.
Suddenly, I slapped my head and exclaimed, "That’s it!"
"I figured it out!" I said excitedly.
I 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!
I 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?"
I shook my 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," I instructed.
