Chapter 518 - A Peculiar Flame Stone (2/2)

Ou Yangming naturally became interested in the stone’s odd property. Unfortunately, he could not figure out its origin no matter how hard he tried to recall.

All of a sudden, the little red bird on Ou Yangming’s shoulder chirped.

Since other people were present, the little red bird’s voice became chirps, but Ou Yangming heard it clearly.

‘What’s this? Is it so interesting?”

Ou Yangming grinned and connected his mental conception with the little bird’s. “You can give it a go.” He added after some thought, “Use your mental power.”

The little red bird was curious. It was not an expert in mental power but due to its bloodline inheritance, its mental power was far greater than its peers, to the extent that it was much more formidable than human casters of its rank.

It blinked and released its mental power.

Next, its mental power came into contact with the peculiar stone but was devoured in the blink of an eye.

The little red bird’s eyes instantly lit up, and it became unusually serious.

Ou Yangming tensed up a little because as far as he could remember, he had never seen that expression on the little bird’s face. It seemed like the little bird was not unreliable at all at this moment, and it became unconventionally matured.

For a split second, Ou Yangming even suspected if the little red bird suddenly grew. If that was not the case, how could it have released such an aura?

The little red bird continued to release its mental power. Faced with the same situation, it made the same choice as Ou Yangming did; it released more mental power as it wanted to fill up the bottomless hole.

Being someone who had experienced it before, Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He had not given up releasing his mental power. In a way, he and the little red bird were releasing their powers at the same time.

There would be an opposite effect if someone else did the same and caused two dissimilar mental powers to intersect. In fact, other people would restrain one another and fight for life or death. On the contrary, once the mental powers of Ou Yangming and the little bird merged, they did not resist each other. Instead, they were like rivers flowing into the sea, and they finally joined to become a turbulent river.

Moreover, after their mental powers combined, they even complemented each other, which was amazing.

“Screech…”

Strange sounds were heard from the stone, and the temperature around seemed to be slowly increasing.

Ou Yangming and the little red bird exchanged glances as they were surprised yet overjoyed. It was a marvelous stone with fire-mastery energy, and they vaguely sensed an aura that belonged to their kind.

‘Was this left behind by an Almighty Being from the Phoenixes?’

Whether it was Ou Yangming or the little red bird, they became curious.

On the platform, Ni Yinghong, Hong Feiyu, and the others looked at Ou Yangming and the stone in his hand in shock. As for the little red bird on the young fellow’s shoulder, apart from Big Yellow, the other people ignored it.

The wonderful changes on the peculiar stone could not be hidden from them but when they noticed the grave look on Ou Yangming’s face, even Ni Yinghong dared not question him about it yet. That said, she believed that he would not keep it a secret from her once he found out what it was.

In the beginning, the mental powers channeled by Ou Yangming and the little red bird were fierce as if they wanted to decipher the peculiar stone’s secret at once. However, they could not stand it anymore after an hour. Nonetheless, they would not give up just yet. After making a spiritual connection with each other, they made up their minds.

Subsequently, great mental power was still transferred into the stone, but its margin was reduced.

Eventually, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and curbed most of his mental power. He sat with his legs crossed and retrieved a precious pill from his interspatial bag to consume it. As such, his mental power was being recovered little by little.

During this period, the little red bird s.h.i.+fted its mental power into the stone as much as it could.

Another hour had pa.s.sed when Ou Yangming opened his eyes. He took over the process, whereas the little bird seized the opportunity to rest.

The two of them took turns every hour. Fortunately, their powers were very much interoperable, by which they were almost from the same person. If not, they could not have cooperated with such tacit understanding.

After 3 days and 3 nights, Ou Yangming and the little red bird were almost exhausted. It was then when the bottomless stone was finally filled by their mental powers.
