Chapter Eight Hundred and Seven – Coral Fire Perch
The surface of the wood was black as though it had been scorched by fire. It was black and did not appear special. Zuo Mo looked at Lil’ Black who was the same color and couldn’t help but mutter inside, you’re holding on so tightly, is it because you found something as black as you?
However, when the wood was in his hand, Zuo Mo shook.
A burning presence burrowed into Zuo Mo’s hand.
Even though Zuo Mo possessed the Sun Shen Flame, he couldn’t help but shake. Only when he started to channel shen power did this burning presence only halved. Having learned the lesson, he wrapped shen power around his hand before carefully grabbing the tree trunk.
The section that was buried under was longer than Zuo Mo imagined.
It took Zuo Mo some effort to pull the entire piece of wood out of the soil. The tree trunk was about twice the height of a person and about a third of it was burnt.
The burnt part had most likely been struck by lightning. Zuo Mo could clearly feel a great amount of lightning and fire energy. It was so abundant it was almost unimaginable. Zuo Mo suspected that this part of the trunk was crystallized by lightning and fire energy, containing extremely pure lightning and fire energy that existed in a wondrous balance.
The green lichen had changed into the lightning green lichen as a result of growing on the tree trunk for a long time and absorbing the lightning energy of the trunk.
When Zuo Mo dug out the entire tree and wiped away the surface layer of soil, everyone else watching inhaled sharply.
The part of the trunk that was not burnt was as warm and as transparent as crystal. It was possible to see thick twisted red veins inside that filled the inner space of the wood. It was like a coral. A burning presence emanated from it.
“What is this?” The Black Gold Seal Soldier curiously crowded over.
Zuo Mo shook his head. “I don’t know.” He turned to ask the Ghost Mist Child. “Do you recognize it?”
The Ghost Mist Child said with slight hesitation, “It should be coral wood.”
“Coral wood?” The Black Gold Seal Soldier’s eyes were wide, and something glittering could be seen at the corner of his mouth. “Just that name… it sounds as though it would taste delicious … …I really want to eat … …”
“Coral wood?” Zuo Mo frowned. He remembered that the sun gold leaf had mentioned this.
Coral Wood, jade like material, a coral-like fire inside, it was a rare and precious fire-type material.
Fire … …
Zuo Mo’s shen power was uncontrollably channeled in. Boom, the wood suddenly sprouted red flames that made everyone jump in fright.
Zuo Mo frowned instead. Such a strange flame!
Unlike his sun shen flame, the flame inside the coral wood was as red as coal but silent.
It was a pity that it was not suited to him. His flame was domineering and fierce and completely different from the fire of the coral wood. He remembered that the sun gold leaf had said that this item was most suited for a wasteland beast and could help them grow.
Wasteland beast … …
Zuo Mo’s gaze swept across everyone and then landed in the end on Silly Bird. His eyes lit up. This one could count as a phoenix now. Her flame was unlike his, and coral wood would be a suitable pairing.
Phoenixes perched on parasol trees.
There were no parasol trees, but this coral wood was perfect.
Zuo Mo considered it and then arrived at a decision. His hand was like a knife that cut the coral wood into two. The part that contained lightning energy was split off. The lightning and fire energies in this part of the wood had completely merged together after coexisting for tens of thousands of years.
The other section of the coral wood was about the height of a man. It was jade-like to the touch. A dark red coral grew throughout the transparent tree trunk. People had to marvel at the wonders of creation.
Zuo Mo closed his eyes and thought. A long while later, he opened his eyes. His fingers were like knives that quickly started to carve on the coral wood. Scraps of clear wood flew. The Black Gold Seal Soldier who was watching eagerly did not wait for them to land on the ground before sucking them into his mouth with a content expression.
About an hour later, the round trunk was covered in patterns.
“This is a totem pole?” The Ghost Mist Child asked uncertainly. He had never seen many of the patterns on this totem pole.
“It isn’t.” Zuo Mo shook his head. “I used some of the totem pole methods. What should this be considered as?”
Zuo Mo was slightly uncertain.
The other people did not understand what Zuo Mo intended but Silly Bird’s eyes suddenly lit up. She seemed to feel that was a ball of fire inside the round wood that was resonating with the fire inside her.
Zuo Mo shook his head. It was not important what this thing was, but rather if it was useful or not. He beckoned at Silly Bird. “Silly Bird, stand on it and try!”
If this was another day, Silly Bird would proudly ignore Zuo Mo if he called her Silly Bird or glare angrily. But today, without a word, her wings spread and she flew onto the coral wood.
Once Silly Bird land onto the coral wood, boom, dark red flames suddenly erupted out of the wood pillar. Silly Bird felt indescribably comfortable and sang a high note!
Boom!
The fire expanded!
The red flames shot into the sky!
An astounding wave of air gusted in all directions. Zuo Mo, Wei Sheng, and a few others were unaffected but the guards were unable to keep their places, bam bam bam, and were forced to retreat a few steps.
