594 Dragon Flame (2/2)

One bypath after another…One choice after another…

Unwittingly, the five had arrived in the depths of the underground space. Before them, there was no longer any bypath, but a vast underground world. This underground world showed many frightening scenes: subterranean lava, bone-corroding poisonous water, bone-scraping gales, and flocks of blazing draconic birds in the sky.

”This lava is a somewhat peculiar. These draconic birds never come near the lava stream.” Hai Wuya sensed something and remarked.

Whizz!

Ye Chen flicked his hand, shooting a broken metal piece.

The metal piece was as quick as light, but once it approached the lava river, it was immediately pulled in and disintegrated into ashes.

”Such a powerful suction force!” Ye Chen's brows creased on seeing that.

”Isn't it just lava? What lava could break our Protective Zhen Yuan?” Ling Tianhao was not concerned in the least.

Yan Fengfeng glanced at him and said, ”Junior brother Ling, if you had come here alone, there would be eighty percent chance of you dying here. This lava is not normal lava…It's not even lava, but flame energy condensed into Dragon Flame.”

”Dragon Flame?” Ye Chen and the others were moved.

Yan Fengfeng explained, ”Dragons are demonic beasts of the legends. Most dragons could breathe fire, and this fire is nothing but the Dragon Flame. If a strand of Dragon Flame is diluted and spread over, it could turn into a sea of fire. In pure destructive power, it's even more powerful than my ancestral phoenix. This is the innate ability of the dragons.”

”This is really frightening!”

Everybody understood the fact upon hearing that. Even water, if compressed enough, could have a frightening destructive power, much less to speak of the Dragon Flame.

”Then, how will we cross over?” Guan Qin cocked his head and asked.

Yan Fengfeng smiled, ”Have you all forgotten that my body is a phoenix body? Fire energy can't hurt me. Although the Dragon Flame is powerful, it's not spurted out by a dragon. The two are somewhat different. Here, I'll help you go over.”

Yan Fengfeng leaped up and transformed into a huge blue phoenix. With azure flames dancing and curling around, she seemed quite noble and powerful.

”Come on!”

Under normal circumstances, Yan Fengfeng wouldn't have anyone ride her. But, this was an exception.

Hearing her words, the five immediately jumped on her.

Shua!

With a flap of her wings, Yan Fengfeng shot toward the other side. En-route, she was constantly pulled in by the lava's attractive and had to skim over the surface of the lava. The Dragon Flame and azure flames counteracted each other, both existing in harmony.

Soon, the five were on the other side of lava river.

Five hundred li away from here, Moqi's Lou and company also encountered the lava river, halting their advance.

”It's just a lava river…Watch me cross!”

A half beast young elite flapped the huge black wings on his back and charged out, wishing to cross in one swoop.

Ah!

However, before he could even reach the center of the river, he fell down and sunk into disintegration. Even his final scream died before it was properly let out.”

”Impossible! What kind of lava is this?” Apart from Moqi Lou, the other four turned pale, while a contemplative look appeared on the former's face.

”It's dragon flame, isn't it?” Moqi Lou blurted out.

”Brother Moqi, does this dragon flame you speak of have some relation with dragons?'

Not many knew about the Dragon Flame. After all, Dragons were demonic beasts of the legends. One could only gather information through ancient texts.

Moqi Lou said, ”Dragon Flame is the strongest power of flames. Its destructive power is not one bit less than phoenix flames'. A strand of dragon flame is enough to burn all of us here into a crisp.”

”Don't tell me we can only just look from here on!”

Each one of them knew that there was bound to be some treasure ahead. Who would be willing to be left out?

With creased brows, Moqi Lou said, ”Who knows how long this Dragon Flame has been here for? Its might should be far weaker. First, let's test out its destructive power.”

Moqi Lou took out an upper grade artifact from his storage ring and threw it into the lake.

The upper grade artifact, which even Sea of Soul realm experts couldn't destroy easily, melted right in front of their eyes before completely turning into ashes in a blink.

Watching this scene, the five felt their breaths getting stuck in their throats.

”It can buy us a blink worth of time. Going by the width of the river, it would cost us five upper grade artifacts for each person.”

”Let's go all out. To gain something, you must lose something!”

”Right! There is definitely some treasure in there. We can't afford to miss it.”

As the top class geniuses of Sky Martial Region, the five had some backing and didn't lack upper grade artifacts. Of course, their hearts still bled over the impending loss. Even if they weren't using these upper grade artifacts themselves, they could auction them off for several hundred thousand upper grade spirit stones. It was a moderate-sized wealth even for them.

In this manner, the five smoothly crossed over the lava lake.
