607 Theres Nothing Here... (2/2)
The fire was hundreds of thousands of feet tall. It smashed into the planet like a meteor. Despite it being far away, Wang Baole could still see an enormous beast in the ocean of fire!
The beast was shaped like an enormous, round meatball. It was covered in sharp, blade-like thorns and had four eyes. Its open maw looked vicious. The aura exploding from the beast as it landed surpassed that of the dozen auras that shook the planet. It was like a king had just returned.
Wang Baole only got a glance before his head started ringing from Little Missy's horrified shriek.
”A Beast King! Get down to your feet, fatty! I'm going to cast a spell. D*mn that wretched Worship Palace Pavilion, teleporting us to this d*mned place. I'm going to tear the whole place down when I get back!” Wang Baole trembled and fell to the ground. He couldn't care less about the scorching ground or the burning pain as he hurriedly crawled over to a large rock nearby. Little Missy's shaky voice echoed in his head.
”There's nothing here, there's nothing here…”
Perhaps Little Missy did have some tricks up her sleeve, or perhaps it was pure good luck. Regardless, the Star Fang Beast King didn't notice Wang Baole as it landed. The Star Fang Beasts continued to cheer while fires continued to erupt from the ground without stopping.
A long time passed, and Wang Baole felt he was about to be cooked alive. His mouth was dry and his eyes about to spew fire. He said desperately.
”Little Missy, quick, teleport us away!”
”You think I don't want to? I've tried a dozen times! There's a hex in place, I can't perform a teleportation!” Answering Wang Baole was a yell from Little Missy, which wasn't aligned with her image at all.
It was clear that she had no energy for keeping up appearances in such a critical situation. If she were to show herself now, one might see her pulling at her hair in frustration and anxiety.
Wang Baole began to feel anxious. He sighed. While simmering with frustration, he saw something next to the rock. The fires burning the ground left shining crystalline objects behind.
He blinked, then crawled over and dug them out. After a detailed inspection, his eyes widened, and his breathing quickened. He almost shouted in surprise.
Is this Supreme Fire Ore? Emotions rushed through Wang Baole in waves. There were no records of such materials on Earth. He had first found one in the list of materials required for repairing the Dark Sampan, then in records found in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. It was an extremely rare and valuable refinement material. Using it on an ordinary Dharmic Armament would greatly boost the latter's power.
It was also an essential material for refining Divine Armaments as well as one of the core materials for repairing a Dark Artifact!
Wang Baole became extremely excited after some careful examination and final confirmation. His eyes sparkled, and he stopped caring about Little Missy's teleportation. Wang Baole looked around hurriedly and saw another Supreme Fire Crystal. He bore the pain as he crawled over hastily and grabbed it. He put it away immediately and began hunting around again.
While Wang Baole continued his hunt for Supreme Fire Ores, Little Missy kept trying to activate the teleportation. On the same planet, on a mountain peak not particularly far away from Wang Baole, the drinking youth from the Vast Expanse Dao Planet once again made his appearance. He was lying on a huge rock, drinking, with his wooden sword lying haphazardly next to him. He had a smile on his face as he stared in the direction where Wang Baole was. Hidden deep in his eyes were wisps of nostalgia and remembrance.
After a long moment, the youth suddenly laughed.
”You like Supreme Fire Stones so much?” He said softly. He lifted his right hand and waved it casually at the ground. The entire star began to tremble instantly, and underground streams of Supreme Fire Stone vein caved in. It was as if an invisible force was moving them—from all directions deep underground—rapidly, towards… Wang Baole!
