Chapter 2551: What’s Below?
"What do you feel might be down there? Could there be a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire?"
Looking at Fire Spirit Xiao Huo, Lin Feng asked earnestly. He knew the Fire Spirit never lied, so he wanted to know the general situation below, otherwise, he would worry about any potential dangers when venturing down there.
"Boss, to be honest, the situation below is quite unique. It doesn’t seem to be a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, but rather something akin to my own realm. The feeling is extremely peculiar; I can’t quite describe it." Fire Spirit Xiao Huo scratched its fiery head with a very human-like gesture, as if pondering, finally giving Lin Feng this answer.
"Your nemesis?"
"What could be the nemesis of a flame?"
"Is there something Xiao Huo is afraid of?"
...
Watching Xiao Huo, Tao Tao and the others were incredulous, considering that in nature, according to the interplay of the five elements, water suppresses fire. Yet, to restrain the Fire Spirit seemed implausible, especially since Xiao Huo has fused with many nemesis Alien Fires. How could there be a nemesis for Xiao Huo on earth, what could it be? They couldn’t imagine!
Especially below the Lava Lake, where the atmosphere is saturated with the essence of fire elements. How could there possibly be water elements here? They were immediately confused by the situation...
"It’s very likely a Water Spirit down there!"
At this moment, Lin Feng’s eyes brightened, speaking casually. This was his speculation since if five elements coexist and counterbalance each other in the world, it couldn’t be just fire spirits; other elemental spirits could appear as well.
Moreover, he thought further: if there is a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, why couldn’t there be Heaven and Earth Strange Water, Earth, and other special forms of elements? Such occurrences are indeed possible; perhaps they hadn’t entered people’s purview before because Heaven and Earth Strange Fire is famous for Alchemists to use in Alchemy.
"A Water Spirit!"
"What exactly is a Water Spirit..."
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tao Tao and the others exclaimed in shock, finding it too unbelievable. Water spirits were unheard of, especially since below was a Lava Lake — how could a Water Spirit possibly exist here? It seemed impossible!
"In this world, nothing is impossible. I’ll go down and take a look." Lin Feng said nonchalantly to Tao Tao and the others.
"Brother Lin, could there be danger?" Tao Tao seized Lin Feng’s arm, nervously asking. Though Lin Feng’s strength had somewhat recovered, confronting the situation below felt dangerous. No one had ever seen a Water Spirit!
"I also feel we should think this through carefully before acting. Let’s plan first." Lingling said anxiously on the side. As the matter exceeded expectations, she felt it was imperative to plan seriously; it wasn’t a laughing matter. She had witnessed the power of Fire Spirit Xiao Huo, and the same level entity couldn’t possibly be simple.
"Boss Lin, I know you’re formidable, but heading down there blindly without knowing the situation, what if something happens?" Ma Biaohu disagreed with Lin Feng’s risk-taking. If they followed him down, that would be different; they could organize against extreme hazards. But below is all lava, they can’t provide help!
"Boss, I also feel you shouldn’t take risks, the situation below is too complex and very dangerous." Tangyuan expressed its concerns, genuinely worried Lin Feng might face trouble. Although Lin Feng lacked inherent attributes, unlike other cultivators, his body housed the Eternal Divine Flame, which was itself a tremendous risk. Xiao Huo already indicated there was a nemesis below; if Lin Feng ventured down, it could spell trouble.
Seeing everyone oppose him, Lin Feng understood their good intentions. Yet, passing by such an extraordinary place, he couldn’t bring himself to miss it. If danger was the concern, hadn’t he already faced greater perils? If he feared danger, he wouldn’t have made it this far.
Thinking this, Lin Feng told Tao Tao and the others, "I know you all mean well, but such a unique place, a typical cultivator might encounter only a few times in a lifetime. It would be too regrettable to miss this; don’t try to dissuade me. I won’t face danger; I’ll definitely come out alive."
Lin Feng’s words left Tao Tao and the others speechless, as they understood his point. Without serendipitous encounters, how could Lin Feng achieve his current accomplishments through regular cultivation? They were all gleaned from numerous brushes with danger, not just Lin Feng but other cultivators wouldn’t miss such opportunities either.
"Stay cautious up there; if things seem wrong, move away and wait for me." Lin Feng instructed Tao Tao and the others, acknowledging the peculiar circumstances here. He didn’t want further complications, hence his reminder. Without waiting for anyone’s response, he jumped down the hole...
Watching Lin Feng jump down, Tao Tao and the others were powerless to stop him. Despite their anxiety, they could only follow Lin Feng’s instructions. Before danger manifested, they didn’t leave the hole, trying to glimpse what transpired within the Lava Lake.
Slowly descending into the cave, Lin Feng observed the surrounding lava everywhere. The area glowed a bright red, and everything was clearly visible. He easily spotted the hole in the center of the Lava Lake, a peculiar occurrence amid liquid-like lava.
But he didn’t rush in; instead, he circled the Lava Lake to figure out what the inconsumable fire affecting only animals was about. To his dismay, no trace of such a fire existed within the Lava Lake anymore.
What was that special fire about?
With a slight furrowed brow, Lin Feng released Fire Spirit Xiao Huo to investigate the lava, as the abrupt disappearance of the special fire seemed indicative of a problem.
Under Lin Feng’s direction, Fire Spirit Xiao Huo charged into the Lava Lake, but soon emerged, returning to Lin Feng’s side.
"Boss, under the Lava Lake, there’s something quite special. It’s almost like a layer of unique metal that strangely hasn’t melted, emanating a very peculiar aura. I suspect the special fire previously seen in the valley comes from this metal." Fire Spirit Xiao Huo unreservedly disclosed everything to Lin Feng, puzzled that beneath the lava lies unmelted unique metal, indicating it’s no ordinary substance.
Upon hearing Fire Spirit Xiao Huo’s report, Lin Feng became interested in that unique layer of metal. Enveloped in Eternal Divine Flame, he dove into the rolling lava, with Fire Spirit Xiao Huo guiding him swiftly to the Lava Lake’s bottom.
At the Lava Lake’s bottom, Lin Feng understood the situation. The bottom resembled a honeycomb with numerous lava currents floating within, while the honeycomb’s top featured some red metal. It wasn’t red due to heat but naturally red-colored metal.
Enveloped in Eternal Divine Flame, Lin Feng managed to snag a piece of this unique metal, playing with it briefly, and confirmed that the special aura from the valley fire was indeed from this metal. His eyes lit up at this discovery.
Could this be Blazing Birth Gold?
Truth be told, Lin Feng had no idea what this special metal was, but he recalled from the book of Divine Venerable that it introduced several genius treasure metals used for top-tier Mechanism Puppets; it only listed names without specific descriptions. From its appearance, he speculated it might relate to Blazing Birth Gold.
Given this possibility, he wouldn’t leave the place unexplored. Hence, Lin Feng commenced searching for Blazing Birth Gold at the Lava Lake’s bottom.
While Lin Feng was searching below, Tao Tao and the others grew anxious, confused by Lin Feng’s sudden plunge into the lava, worried for him. If he faced trouble, they couldn’t offer any help.
After four hours, Lin Feng finally emerged from the Lava Lake. The yield of Blazing Birth Gold wasn’t extensive, but the search below had concluded, with no remaining exploratory value.
Glancing up, Tao Tao and the others were tensely watching him. Lin Feng smiled and waved, "I found some unique metal below. I’m fine; you don’t need to worry. But next, I’ll venture into that cave, remain cautious." Tao Tao and the others, seeing Lin Feng safe and sound, sighed in relief, waving to him. They heightened their vigilance, trusting Lin Feng wouldn’t act without a plan. Lin Feng’s words unveiled he sensed something significant.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Feng slowly approached the entrance of the cave, observing the glowing opening and sensing a distinctive aura from within. Only now did he believe Fire Spirit Xiao Huo’s words, noting the mysterious nature of the cave. In the lava, a cave releasing a water element aura, maintaining a balance between the two — there certainly was something amiss here.
No more hesitations, let’s venture down.
By this moment, Lin Feng grew curious about the cave below, wanting to uncover what lies beneath. Was his guess of the Water Spirit accurate? Otherwise, how might this peculiar sight exist? This location was a spectacle no one would believe unless witnessed firsthand...
