Chapter 209 (2/2)
”Why is it here? Has it developed a full consciousness and can now move around as it wished?”
”I don't care if it's really the earthcore fire, but my priority is to first get it in my hands.”
...
The people in the area quickly charged toward the ridge. However, some of them were immediately set alight by the intense flame power before they could even get near. Then again, the intensity of the burning was obviously much weaker than the real power of the millennium earthcore fire, even if not many of them actually realized it. All of them were still under the impression that a real millennium earthcore fire had appeared. Otherwise, how would an entire mountain ridge suddenly burn?
Soon, people from farther away also noticed what was happening, and the number of people heading over to the ridge grew. As for Long Hui and Xiao Wenbo hiding near the crater, they were among the first to sense the change. However, they did not rush over immediately.
”The ridge over there is suddenly burning. Should we go check it out?” Xiao Wenbo asked.
Long Hui frowned and said, ”True, the flame there is different from ordinary flames. Has the millennium earthcore fire really moved over there?”
”It is possible,” Xiao Wenbo replied. He pointed below them and said, ”So are we going to stop waiting here?”
”You go. I'll stay and observe for a bit longer,” Long Hui said after a slight hesitation.
Xiao Wenbo agreed and directly flew toward the burning mountain ridge. As for Long Hui, he once again flew to the crater and looked down at the lava pool. Just earlier, Xiang Shaoyun still had his head stretched out of the pool. When he sensed Long Hui coming, he quickly sank back into the pool. He was nearly discovered.
”Phew, that was dangerous. Why is this old man still not leaving?” Xiang Shaoyun grumbled.
Long Hui stopped midair for a bit before he once again reached out toward the lava. Two fiery dragon claws nearly turned the entire lava pool over. He created such a mess that a large amount of lava splashed out, forcing himself to quickly retreat.
”Nothing at all. This is not possible.” Long Hui was unwilling to let it go.
He was sure that there must be something odd within the pool. That was why he created a mess of the pool, hoping he could provoke whatever was down there to show itself. Unfortunately, he had failed.
A crimson armor suddenly appeared on him, protecting his entire body. At the same time, a kingly presence roiled out of him and formed protection around him. He then slowly dove down toward the lava pool.
When Xiang Shaoyun noticed, he quickly hid at the bottom of the pool. This old man is not thinking of coming in here too, right? What the h.e.l.l should I do about him?
If this fellow really entered the lava pool with his king-grade armor and kingly presence, Xiang Shaoyun would have no way to hide himself. He did not remain panicked for long. He was of the opinion that even if the King did come into the lava pool, the thick lava would still block the King's visibility. He only needed to be on full alert to avoid being discovered.
Long Hui finally revealed his ambition as he sank into the pool: ”The rule laid down by those old men in the pavilion that only those at the Transformation Realm and below can fight for the earthcore fire is simply bulls.h.i.+t. How can anyone in the Transformation Realm harvest a high-level flame like this? It would be much better to let me have it.”
