Chapter 238: Disguise (1/2)
Chapter 238 – Disguise
The closer Han Shuo traveled to the fire lake, the hotter the temperature was. But since the big-headed zombie couldn’t withstand the heat, Han Shuo had no choice but to use more magical yuan to activate the Mystical Glacial Spellfire in order to lower the temperature around the two of them.
Zombie warriors was used to the dark and instinctively wanted to avoid to the scorching heat and sunlight. This big-headed zombie was no exception as it kept on shaking in Han Shuo’s hands, like it was afraid of that searing fire lake.
However, he couldn’t move at all within Han Shuo’s vice-like grip. Meanwhile, two waves of dense white smoke quickly neared the fire lotus from the boulder walls and arrived beside Marceau in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the two women were only a bit more than three meters away from the fire lotus below. Since they were afraid of the temperature being higher than what the boundary could entire, the two of them didn’t dare to approach the fire lotus that quickly, for fear of the boundary being cracked open by the high temperature.
“Eh, why are you here?” Marceau was surprised to see the two waves of white smoke near. Although she couldn’t see Han Shuo’s appearance due to the dense mist, she was able to recognize him from his actions.
“I can’t stand the baking of the heat anymore, please let me enter the boundary to rest a bit!” Han Shuo’s anxious pleading rang out from the thick must. When the sound had reached them, Han Shuo already stopped next to the boundary.
Fire grand magus Marceau was clearly a bit troubled after he said this. It seemed like it was very difficult for her to bring Han Shuo into the boundary, so she hesitated and debated.
Han Shuo suddenly screamed loudly in one of the waves of smoke next to Marceau. The wave of smoke suddenly sank directly towards the beautiful fire lotus.
Screams rang out from continuously the smoke underneath them, shocking them to the core. This caused the two confused women unable to react.
Although Han Shuo was emitting terrible screams whilst covered by the smoke, he had a calm expression on as he grabbed the struggling big-headed zombie warrior and stuffed him into the bud of the flower.
Han Shuo shot out an arrow of blood from his left index finger, causing it to land directly in the big-headed zombie’s mouth. At the same time, Han Shuo also imprinted a dark seal into the zombie’s body. A jumping purple flame followed Han Shuo’s thoughts and covered the zombie, while Han Shuo sent out rays of dark magical light that surrounded the big-headed soldier.
Han Shuo formed his blood essence into a lotus shape and smacked it down onto the big-headed zombie’s head. It was as if he’d triggered some sort of prohibition. All of a sudden, twenty-four rays of scorching blood red lights shot out towards the fire lotus from the holes in the boulder walls.
The rays of fire element energy seemed to be couriers for the dense fire element energy, bringing it to the fire lotus in the center. The beautiful fire lotus let out a blinding, splendid red light that leapt around. It slowly began to retract with a miraculous speed and path. During this, the big-headed zombie that Han Shuo had firmly ordered to remain in the bud became wrapped up bit by bit.
“What’s going on, what is this!” Marceau, three meters above Han Shuo, couldn’t help but exclaim as she observed the mysterious change in the surroundings and felt fire element energy gather furiously.
However, Han Shuo’s pitiful wails completely covered Marceau’s exclamations. Marceau had no idea what was going on and had no idea just what what Han Shuo had met with below. She didn’t dare descend herself the last three three meters to see what was going on underneath.
Due to the influence of the formation, the thick fire element energy in the surroundings was all sent gathered at the fire lotus at the center to provide nutrients for the fire elite zombie. When the fire elite zombie formed, the fire lotus that nurtured it may very well become a treasure that the fire elite zombie could employ.
Twenty-four rays of blood red light had gathered at the fire lotus in the center of the cave. The fire element energy that has circled the entire place of extreme fire for ten thousand years was gradually nourishing the big-headed zombie’s body through the fire lotus. As long as it continued to absorb the pure energy and trained according to the seal that Han Shuo had left in his mind, the zombie would be able to continuously change itself and become a strong fire elite zombie.
“ROAR…”
A terrifying roar of anger sounded out from above the fire lake. It was as if the Lord of the Flames sensed the change in the kingdom of fire, howled as a result.
Through the yin demon’s surveillance, Han Shuo saw that despite holding a slight upper hand even against three enemies, the Lord of the Flames had given up on the fight with the golden dragon, the cyclops, and the gigantic silver ape. Instead, it moved its enormous volcanic body and slowly walked towards the largest crack in the valley.
The fire lotus nurtured by the fire lake was a treasure of the fire attribute. There was special energy inside, and the Lord of the Flames must have some sort of connection with the fire lotus since it was the ruler of this kingdom of flames. Perhaps, the fire lotus had already been branded with its mark, and it treated the lotus as its own forbidden treasure.
Using the formation and touching this forbidden item, even left a living lifeform within that absorbed the fire element energy around it, this must have startled the Lord of the Flames, and it was rushing over to find out what was happening.
At this moment, the petals of the fire lotus have already closed into a flower bud, and started to sink into the fire lake. Han Shuo immediately knew that his job was complete, and continued to scream as he moved upwards slowly.
Han Shuo’s plan has been successful up until now, but he was still unable to know the final results. According to Chu Canglan’s memories, Han Shuo knew that after the fire lotus petals had shut tight, it was very hard to open it once again without a special method and particular timing. However, he didn’t know whether the Lord of the Flames had a way to open the fire lotus since it was the owner of this fire lake.
