"Huh?"
Everyone looked at the room that showed no reaction and asked in confusion.
"What's going on? Isn't this the mechanism to open the room?"
"What kind of mechanism is that? Why is there no response at all?"
"Junior sister, did you press it?"
"Junior Sister, can I press it?"
Everyone was talking at once. Mu Li took a deep breath and said, "I pressed it, but I don't know why it didn't respond!"
"Let me try." Xuan Qisheng said as he walked to Mu Li's side, "Junior Sister, please step aside to avoid any danger!"
"Okay." Mu Li took a few steps back.
Xuan Qisheng pressed the mechanism hard, but there was still no movement in the room!
"Is this mechanism broken?" Xuan Qisheng asked in confusion.
"Let me take a look." Xuan Bayu also came over, "If pressing it once doesn't work, try pressing it twice." As he said that, he pressed the button twice in succession.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and the ground slowly cracked open, revealing a deep passageway. A stream of blazing air gushed out of the passage, leaving everyone feeling a scorching sensation.
"Wow, it's so hot!" Xuan Bayu screamed and jumped away.
"Zizi said there's a strange fire down there!" Mu Li said, "Let's go down and take a look."
Everyone walked down the passage carefully.
The further down you go, the higher the temperature becomes, and the surrounding stone walls are baked red.
Everyone had to use their spiritual power to resist.
"Everyone be careful!" Xuan Yiheng reminded.
Suddenly, a huge fire lizard jumped out from the side and pounced on them with its bloody mouth wide open.
Everyone rushed to fight.
Mu Li threw out the little phoenix: "Baby, burn it!"
Without saying a word, the little phoenix spewed out a powerful ball of fire, but the fire lizard was not afraid at all, but became even more ferocious.
After a fierce fight, Mu Li and others finally subdued the fire lizard.
After a short rest, everyone continued to move forward and finally saw a ball of fire flickering with strange light.
"This should be the strange fire." Mu Li said excitedly.
Just as she was about to approach the strange fire, Mo Xi stopped her: "Be careful, the strange fire is not so easy to tame."
"I'm not trying to subdue the strange fire. I want my cub to devour it so that she can grow faster!" Mu Li explained.
"Master, the old phoenix said that it's useless for me to swallow the strange fire now. You can just tame it yourself." said the little phoenix.
"Okay." Mu Li said as she thought about a solution.
"Host, release the red lotus fire in your body and let the red lotus devour it, so that the red lotus will also evolve." The system suddenly reminded.
Upon hearing this, Mu Li concentrated her energy and summoned the Red Lotus Karma Fire. As soon as the Red Lotus Karma Fire came out, it immediately pounced on the strange fire.
The strange fire was not to be outdone and fought back vigorously. The two strange fires fought back and forth, and the fight was quite fierce!
"It seems that they are evenly matched and each wants to devour the other." Mo Xi said.
Mu Li nodded and shouted, "Come on, Honglian!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then followed suit and shouted, "Come on, come on!"
Encouraged by the crowd's cheers, the Red Lotus's Karmic Fire surged in momentum, gradually gaining the upper hand. The Other Fire, seemingly feeling the pressure, began to fight back desperately, but ultimately was no match for the Red Lotus's Karmic Fire.
Finally, the Red Lotus Fire successfully devoured the strange fire, and a miraculous transformation took place within itself. Mu Li could sense that the Red Lotus Fire had become even more powerful, and contained some special powers.
"That's great!" Mu Li was ecstatic.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the mutated Red Lotus Karma Fire." The system's voice sounded.
"System, you are alive? Shouldn't you give me the reward?" Mu Li asked.
The system looked at the sleeping Taotie and chose to play dead.
"Okay, okay, you're pretending to be dead, huh? Just wait! You'll regret it one day!" Mu Li thought with gritted teeth.
"Let's get out quickly. The strange fire has disappeared, and this place is freezing!" Xuan Bayu said, rubbing his arms.
"good."
However, just as they were about to leave, a mysterious force suddenly descended...
That mysterious force was like an invisible barrier, blocking everyone's way.
Mo Xi tried to attack with his spiritual power, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.
"What kind of power is this? So powerful!" Xuan Yiheng said with a frown.
Mu Li's face was solemn: "It seems that we have obtained the strange fire and triggered some kind of restriction here."
Everyone tried various methods, but they were still unable to break through the shackles of this mysterious power.
At this moment, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply and a cold breath hit me in the face.
"This is not a solution. We must find a solution as soon as possible." Mo Xi said.
Mu Li calmed down and carefully felt the fluctuations of this power.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "I seem to have found some clues."
Everyone gathered around to listen to Mu Li talk about her discovery.
"This power seems to flow in a regular pattern. Perhaps we can follow its flow to find its source," Mu Li said.
So, under Mu Li's leadership, everyone slowly moved forward along the flow of power.
The further they went, the greater the pressure became, and everyone had to use all their spiritual power to resist.
Just when everyone felt they were about to collapse, they finally arrived at the source of strength.
There was a huge stone tablet standing there, engraved with strange runes.
"Is this the key to controlling this power?" Xuan Qisheng said.
Mu Li walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone tablet, trying to decipher the secrets contained therein.
She stared intently at the runes on the stone tablet, frowning, trying to find a pattern in them.
Mo Xi said from the side: "Ali, don't be anxious, think about it slowly."
Everyone was waiting quietly, the atmosphere was tense and depressing.
After a long while, Mu Li's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think I understand!"
She began to use her spiritual power to feel and touch the runes in the way she understood.
Every touch caused a flash of light, and the surrounding power fluctuations intensified.
Everyone's heart was in their throat and they stared at Mu Li nervously.
Just as Mu Li completed the final touch, the runes on the stone tablet glowed brightly, and a powerful impact force knocked her back.
"Junior Sister!" everyone exclaimed.
Mu Li steadied herself and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Immediately afterwards, the light on the stone tablet gradually dimmed, and the mysterious power began to slowly dissipate.
"Success!" Xuan Bayu shouted excitedly.
"That's great!" Xuan Qisheng also shouted happily.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily on their faces.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Mo Xi said.
Everyone quickly returned along the way they came and finally left this mysterious place.
However, when they walked out of the ruins, they found that the world outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.
