Chapter 487: Chapter 485: Elemental Fire Spirit Transformation_1

It took nearly two hours for the three of them to clear the Demon Flame Worms together. In the extensive Flame Soil, more than a hundred of the most severely affected fire-element Spiritual Plants had been restored to normal.

“Friend Lu, as well as friends Xu and Zhou, you’ve been working hard. Why don’t we take a break and try the special dishes and Spiritual Juice of Fire Cloud Cave?”

“The remaining Spirit Plants plagued by the Strange Worms in the Spirit Field can be cleaned up later.”

Huo Zhen suggested.

“Alright, then we’ll trouble you to arrange it, Fire Clan Leader.”

Lu Xuan, Xu Yong, and Zhou Yun Ning all stopped their work.

All three of them were starting to feel a bit fatigued.

Throughout this process, Lu Xuan had been constantly using his Spiritual Sense to ensure that the awakened Demon Flame Worms did no harm to the Spirit Plants, requiring him to stay focused, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

As for Zhou Yun Ning and the other, the long-term use of subtle Ice System Techniques consumed an enormous amount of Spiritual Power, requiring them to take a good rest.

The group followed Huo Zhen through shimmering flame-red passages, eventually arriving in a spacious hall.

The hall was extravagantly furnished, covered in pale red fire-element crystals. Spirit Wood tables and chairs were scattered around, while hundreds of pure fiery red jades adorned various locations.

Everyone took their seats in order, and the young boys and girls standing by the side served the Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Juice, and various delicious dishes.

“Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Xu, Junior Sister Zhou, you don’t need to stand on ceremony, just go ahead and taste.”

“These pieces of Spirit Beast Meat are all from various Spirit Beasts raised in the Fire Cloud Cave. The meat is tender and rich in Spiritual Power, giving it a unique taste.”

“And this Flowing Cloud Juice, it is a specialty of our Fire Cloud Cave. Be sure to have several cups, and take a few pots with you when you leave.”

Fire Scale Child said with a smile to Lu Xuan and the others.

Lu Xuan looked at the Spiritual Juice in his cup. The crimson juice, gently swaying, seemed like bright flowing fire clouds.

“There was once a Fire Cloud Spring in the Fire Cloud Cave, considered a treasure in the past Secret Land. Although most of its treasures have been excavated, some unique features remain, full of pure Fire Spirit power.”

“After our clan acquired the Fire Cloud Cave, we raised a tamed Elemental Fire Spirit in the Fire Cloud Spring. The Fire Spirit and the spring benefited each other, promoting each other’s growth.”

“Under the influence of the Elemental Fire Spirit, the Spiritual Spring in the Fire Cloud Spring became even purer. Taking it regularly can improve a cultivator’s constitution, so many of my clansmen and I have notable talents in Fire System Techniques.”

Lu Xuan suddenly understood how Fire Scale Child came to be born with the innate Fire Spirit Body.

“So, it’s because he drinks too much bath water…”

He mumbled to himself mentally, while his hand obediently raised the teacup to his lips.

He drank a mouthful of Flowing Cloud Juice, and a mild current flowed down his throat. It went through his limbs and bones, making him feel as warm as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

“Phew…”

Lu Xuan heaved a long breath, as a wisp of white smoke shot out his mouth like an arrow and disappeared into the distance.

“This Flowing Cloud Juice is really strong!”

He could not help but exclaim.

After a feast, everyone sat together, tasting the unique fruits of the Fire Cloud Cave, chatting about all sorts of strange stories and the latest happenings in the Cultivation World.

“Clan leader!”

Suddenly, a cultivator from the Fire Cloud Cave ran in hastily, went up to Huo Zhen, and looked as if he was hesitating to speak.

“Just spit it out!”

Seeing his hesitation, Huo Zhen got a bad feeling and asked coldly.

“The Elemental Fire Spirit in the Fire Cloud Spring has suddenly gone mad! It started to go berserk, ferociously attacking the cultivator guarding the spring, causing the death of six clansmen in an instant!”

“It is now attacking the prohibition set up around the Fire Cloud Spring!”

The cultivator said hurriedly.

“What?! The Elemental Fire Spirit has mutated?!”

Huo Zhen abruptly stood up, a strong look of surprise painted on his face.

“Scale child, you come with me. With your strength, it should be easier to suppress the Elemental Fire Spirit.”

With his mind whirling in thought, he turned to the fiery scale child beside him, feeling extremely fortunate to have this member of the Sky Sword Sect’s authentic teachings present.

“Alright!”

Hearing that six clansmen were killed by the Elemental Fire Spirit, the juvenile face of the scale child revealed an expression of solemn killing intent.

“Junior Brother Lu, you three stay here and continue enjoying the spirit fruits. I will be right back.”

“I’m sorry for interrupting your leisure time.”

He turned towards Lu Xuan and the others.

“Don’t worry, Brother Huo, we’d like to come with you and observe. If there’s anything we can do to help, we can lend a hand,” Lu Xuan and his two companions exchanged looks before Zhou Yun Ning promptly replied.

“Alright! I am grateful for your help, fellow junior brothers and sisters!”

The scale child didn’t bother with formalities. Flames danced on his big red robe, enveloping Huo Zhen and Lu Xuan’s party, and transformed them into a beam of red light, soaring towards the depths of the hall’s passage.

A dozen breaths later, Lu Xuan arrived before a fiery red stone wall.

Looking through multiple layers of restrictions, he could faintly make out a small lake below where crimson spiritual liquid churning restlessly.

“Roar!”

He was drawn by the roar of a Flame Giant below him.

The Flame Giant was thirty feet tall, fearsome and engulfed in fire. His fists projected out like long spears, relentlessly pounding on the layered restrictions.

The restrictions began to shiver, on the verge of collapse. They held up only by the determined maintenance of more than a dozen cultivators from the Fire Cloud Cave, preventing it from shattering under the storm-like onslaught from the Flame Giant.

Seeing the scale child and Huo Zhen appear, the cultivators could finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Remove the restrictions and let it out!”

With a stern look in his eyes, the scale child ordered the crowd.

Everyone felt as if a great weight was lifted. They collectively released their hold on the restrictions.

With the restrictions no longer binding it, the Flame Giant’s body enlarged by another third, its body ablaze. He bent his knees and jumped forcefully, transforming into a massive fireball that soared towards the sky, lunging at everyone present.

“Monster! We’ve bred you for so many years, yet you dare to kill our clansmen!”

The scale child roared in anger. Spiritual power surged within him, and he pushed his palms downward. A giant crimson palm appeared in the air, blocking out the sky and heavily squaring off the Flame Giant.

The spiritual pressure was intense, the fiery air currents burned all surrounding matter to black ash.

The Flame Giant raised both his hands, holding back the giant palm while his body gushed out waves of fiery-red magma which wildly surged towards the giant hand palm.

“What a futile struggle!”

The scale child snorted coldly. He flicked another hand, and trails of fire started to dance around the Flame Giant. In an instant, they formed a gigantic fire net, compressing from all sides towards the Flame Giant.

“Roar!”

Seeing himself about to be bound by the fire net, the magma flowing on the Flame Giant’s body suddenly exploded, resembling a volcanic eruption, dissolving the fire threads of the fire net completely.

Seeing this, the scale child’s big red robe turned blood-red. His entire being transformed into a blood-red fireball, like a shooting star, hurling towards the Flame Giant.

“Elder Brother Xu, Sister Zhou, I am going to check on the Spirit Field.”

Lu Xuan stared at the Elemental Fire Spirit that had abruptly mutated below, recalling the fire-element spiritual plants in the Spirit Field that were infested by numerous Demon Flame Worms, he sensed a feeling of unease.
