Chapter 51 – Evil God’s Seedfire (IV)
Although he was in a state of concealment, Yun Che still didn’t dare to be careless as he carefully approached the cave in a meandering manner.
After walking at a rather large right angle, Yun Che’s feet stepped on the crimson colored ground. A burning sensation immediately came from under his feet, quickly spreading throughout his entire body, causing him to instantly have the terrifying feeling that he was standing on flames.
This Inferno Dragon had existed here for at least a hundred years, and the power of the flames from it had long since turned all of this place into a world of fire elements. His current location was only about a kilometer or so away from where the Inferno Dragon and the Burning Heaven Sect were battling, and this was already a rather dangerous distance, the aftermath of their battle would be able to easily reach here.
Yun Che’s footsteps were careful, but his speed did not decrease at all. Jasmine had said that this Yan Long was clearly hiding its strength, and if it exploded and killed the five people from the Burning Heaven Sect, then he might even lose his life, not to mention taking advantage of the chaos.
But the most comforting thing was that the Yanlong clearly didn’t want its own habitat to be harmed, and not only had it been deliberately pulling away, but also prevented the attacking force from hitting this direction as much as possible. After Yun Che meandered to the directly north side of the cave, his spirit was taut as he rushed towards the entrance of the cave as fast as he could, getting closer and closer to the cave, and after dozens of breaths, he had already closed in to a distance of only about ten feet, with no danger along the way.
The target was already close at hand, however, right at this moment, a large swath of fire suddenly fell from the sky, covering the surrounding area for several miles, although these flames were not large, nor were they too offensive, they were extremely dense, and one of them, landed directly on Yun Che’s body.
Immediately, Yun Che’s blouse quickly burst into flames, under attack, the effect of the Star Concealment Pill instantly disappeared, fortunately, Yun Che’s reaction was fast enough, quickly dodging and hiding behind a huge boulder on his left hand side, extinguishing the flames on his clothes, and his brows completely sank.
Damn ……
Star Concealment Dan’s concealment effect would simply disappear when he was attacked or touched by others, if he once came out from behind the stone, whether he rushed towards the cave or withdrew to his original position, he would be extremely easy to be discovered, and hiding here, Yan Long would likewise immediately discover him when he came back from repelling the Burning Sky Sect’s people.
This time, he was almost walking into certain death!
Boom!
A fire dragon from Yan Long suddenly descended from the air and impacted on the ground less than a hundred meters in front of Yun Che, and with a loud bang, the fire dragon exploded, bringing up skyrocketing flames and terrifying high temperatures that almost melted even the rocks.
The moment the fire light burst open, Yun Che’s eyes behind the boulder suddenly widened ……
Opportunity!
In the next instant, Yun Che furiously ran out from behind the boulder like a stringed arrow, his Xuan Force fully open, rushing towards the cave at the most extreme speed he could achieve. That rushing fire light blocked the line of sight of Yan Long and the Burning Sky Sect’s people looking this way, and the huge energy fluctuations were enough to completely suppress his weak Xuan Power, not to mention the fact that they inevitably didn’t dare to be distracted in the midst of a fierce battle …… So, Yun Che boldly released all of his Xuan Power… …
Dozens of meters of distance, for this time Yun Che is undoubtedly the path of life and death, the rest of his eyes looked at the beginning of the fading fire, tightly clenched his teeth, hated not to be able to instill all of his will to the legs above the thrill, time seems to have become very slow all of a sudden, the entrance of the cave, but also in the slow approach to him, the last distance, he sucked in a sharp breath, legs stomped on the ground, a fish leap to the cave! In the middle of ……
At the moment he flashed into the cave, the firelight also completely faded, Yan Long and the five great Tian Xuan battle scene also once again clearly presented in front of their eyes.
Standing behind the hot boulder at the edge of the cave’s entrance, Yun Che gasped for air, his entire body drenched in sweat, and his face that had turned red did not know whether it was because of the scorching heat or excitement.
“Whew…… finally came in.” Yun Che patted his chest and muttered to himself with a palpitating heart. After settling down a little, he slowed down his steps and walked towards the interior of the cave.
The Yanlong’s body was huge, and the cave it inhabited was naturally incomparably huge as well. Yun Che raised his guard and slowly walked forward, the temperature here was much higher than outside, and with every step Yun Che took, large drops of sweat would fall on the ground, and the moment they landed on the ground, they would turn into white vapor in a slight “giggling” sound.
It was unknown how deep this cave was, and as Yun Che gradually went deeper, the light also dimmed a little bit. After traveling a hundred steps forward, a red light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Yun Che’s footsteps lurched before he sped up again and walked over, and as he saw the source of this red light, his eyes instantly released a scorching light.
“Fire Spirit Grass!!!”
The Fire Spirit Grass at the mature stage was about seven inches tall, with a very shallow rhizome, usually nine leaves, emitting a fiery light in the darkness, and would only grow in places where the fire element was dense, active and pure. Thus, it was extremely rare. At the same time, the growth of the Fire Spirit Grass is very slow, and it often takes more than ten years before it reaches maturity, which also makes the value of the mature Fire Spirit Grass extremely high. Fire Spirit Grass can be individually refined into Fire Spirit Dan, people take after a certain period of time will produce a substantial immunity to the fire element, and can make the Xuan energy in the Xuan vein temporarily into the fire attribute, and there is no burn itself and other negative effects. For the cultivation of fire system Xuan Gong practitioners, the role is even more immeasurable.
And this rare to see, the value of the fire spirit grass, here actually full of growth of two or three hundred plants, and almost a quarter are in the maturity period. There was also a large area at the back that only had rhizomes left, obviously, these Fire Spirit Grasses were the food of that Inferno Dragon.
Another reason for the preciousness of the Fire Spirit Grass was that it was not easy to pick and store, and if one was not careful, the Fire Spirit inside would all be drained out. However, this wasn’t a problem for Yun Che at all, as he extended his left hand and made a wild grab at those ripe Fire Spirit Grasses, and all of them were easily included in the Heavenly Poison Bead.
Any of the Fire Spirit Grasses could be sold for a rather high price outside, but at this moment, they were being harvested by Yun Che in large quantities like cabbages.
Soon, more than fifty mature Fire Spirit Grasses had all been put into the Heavenly Poison Bead by him, and Yun Che did not move any of the immature ones. He rubbed his palms together, and in his heart, he cried out: he’s rich!
If this was sold to the Burning Heaven Sect through an intermediary, what a huge amount of income it would be!
Then he would never have to worry about running out of money again!
Yun Che took out a picked Fire Spirit Grass and quickly quenched it with the Heavenly Poison Bead, and the Fire Spirit Grass quickly shriveled up in the aura of the Heavenly Poison Bead’s quenching, and in the end, it transformed into a very small, as if it was a ruby-like object. Without thinking, Yun Che directly threw it into his mouth.
A burning sensation slid down his mouth and across the inside of his body, and then, this burning sensation quickly spread outward from the inside of his body, spreading to his entire body in the twinkling of an eye, and then, this burning sensation slowly disappeared …… Even the space around him, suddenly became no longer so burning, and the hot sweat on Yun Che’s body no longer flowed, and the suffocating and dryness and heat sensation all disappeared without a trace.
Yun Che’s body instantly relaxed. The cave still hadn’t come to an end, so he accelerated his steps towards the inside. It wasn’t long before a huge rocky lair appeared in front of his eyes, and judging from its size and shape, this was clearly where the Yanlong usually inhabited and slept.
However, to Yun Che’s disappointment, this Inferno Dragon’s lair was quite clean, and apart from the scorching hot rocks that had been molded into the lair, there was nothing else.
Rumble ……
A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from outside. Standing in the deepest part of this cave, Yun Che could vaguely feel a scorching wave of air coming at him. The heavy voice of Yan Long came from outside:
“Ignorant and greedy humans, prepare to suffer the punishment you deserve!”
Following that, were the panicked voices of the Burning Sky Sect’s people:
“Ah! What happened! How did its power suddenly ……”
“This …… this Inferno Dragon isn’t a Heavenly Xuan Beast at all! It is clearly a King Xuan Beast! It has just been hiding its strength all this time just to lure us to this place!”
“Damn! The intelligence is wrong, retreat! Retreat!!!”
What Jasmine said was completely fulfilled, the Inferno Dragon had indeed been hiding its strength all along, and at this time, it finally unleashed its true power. Amidst the panicked shouts of the Burning Sky Sect’s people, the earth began to tremble …… Even the entire Red Dragon Mountain Range was vaguely trembling. Yun Che’s heart fiercely flinched, the fact that the Inferno Dragon had begun to unleash its true power meant that the battle might end immediately, if he didn’t leave, he might not have the chance to do so!
Fifty mature Fire Spirit Grasses, this was already a rather huge harvest. Yun Che no longer hesitated and quickly rushed outward, but, he had just rushed three steps when his heart suddenly pounded …… and his footsteps came to a grinding halt.
“What are you stopping for? If you don’t leave again, will you wait for the Inferno Dragon to burn you to ashes!” Jasmine shouted in a cold voice.
Yun Che was unresponsive to Jasmine’s words, but he turned around, his hand covering his chest, and froze as he looked at the empty stone lair …… It’s that feeling again just now, and this time it’s very close and very close ……
What in the world is calling me ……
Instead of leaving at full speed, Yun Che lifted his steps again and retraced his steps towards that stone nest, all the way to the middle of the nest. And the speed of his heartbeat also suddenly accelerated at this time.
Yun Che gazed around, and in the end, his gaze was fixed on the rightmost corner of the nest. The rocks here were all countless years old, hard and old, while one of the rocks there was spotless and seemed to have been moved frequently. Yun Che quickly walked over, pressed his hand on the rock, and moved it with force.
The stone fell down in response, and a bit of crimson light suddenly appeared in Yun Che’s line of sight.
It was a very small orb, the size of an ordinary glass ball, as crystal clear as a ruby, but the light released was much too deep and dense than a ruby. Looking at this red orb, in Yun Che’s heart, a strong longing arose for no reason, and under the urging of this longing, he quickly stretched out his hand and directly grabbed at it.
“Don’t touch it! It has the Inflammation Dragon’s Inflammation Power Seal on it!!!”
Jasmine’s reminder was slightly late, and just as she shouted out, Yun Che’s hand had already grabbed on top of this orb.
In an instant, as if it had been awakened, this orb abruptly emitted an incomparably intense red light, so intense that it enveloped Yun Che’s entire body.
