Lu Yuan swayed the backpack on his back.
Actually, there was nothing in the backpack; all his supplies were stored in his beast-taming space. The reason he carried the backpack was mainly for cover.
Using his backpack as cover, Lu Yuan took out a map from his spatial storage.
This is what Uncle Fu bought at a high price from the market yesterday.
The Fire Forest Secret Realm has been open for so many years that its geographical distribution is no longer a secret. As long as you are willing to put in some effort, you can buy it on the black market.
“Going through the middle will allow you to quickly enter the interior of the Fire Forest Secret Realm, where resources are relatively abundant, but there will definitely be many companions, which will restrict your movement. In comparison, it is better to go through the two sides.”
Although taking the two sides would be a slightly longer route, it would actually be more comfortable for Lu Yuan.
Let's get right to it.
After making his decision, Lu Yuan set off immediately.
After passing through a halo of light that resembled a vortex of space and time, Lu Yuan felt a sudden dizziness, and then his vision cleared up.
"Whoa!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It wasn't until he saw the scene before him that Lu Yuan understood why the Fire Forest Secret Realm was called that.
Its entire body is grayish-black, resembling a piece of dead wood that has just been burned, and the barren land is dry and cracked, as if the whole earth is constantly being burned by flames.
As soon as you enter, you can feel a wave of scorching heat hitting you.
Lu Yuan had only walked a short distance when he started sweating profusely and had no choice but to take off his coat.
Despite wearing only a thin short-sleeved shirt, he still felt as if he were in the sweltering heat of summer.
"call!"
"It's so hot here!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain.
If you sprinkle some seasoning on him at this point, he feels like he could be served as a plate of roast meat.
However, that is precisely why.
Lu Yuan had even more expectations for the phoenix blood that Bai Ze had prophesied.
"Red phosphorus, it's time for you to shine!"
Due to the environmental characteristics of the Fire Forest Secret Realm, Lu Yuan summoned Red Phosphorus, which also possesses the fire attribute.
"Hiss~!"
Red Phosphorus flicked its tongue at Lu Yuan, who then reached out and rubbed its head.
"Whether we can awaken Akabane depends on what we've accomplished these past few days!"
Lu Yuan wasn't joking when he said that.
When he consulted Bai Ze about how to awaken Chi Yu, Bai Ze only told him to search for Phoenix Blood in the secret realm. This likely meant that there was no other way to awaken Chi Yu except by obtaining Phoenix Blood in the secret realm.
Moreover, after receiving this news, Lu Yuan conducted a great deal of investigation.
The only place that meets Bai Ze's divination criteria is the Fire Forest Secret Realm.
Therefore, the Phoenix Blood must be in this Fire Forest Secret Realm. No matter what, he must succeed in obtaining it in this test!
Lu Yuan looked up into the distance.
Because the surrounding area consists of dead trees burned by fire, the field of vision is relatively wide. Even standing still, one can see a faint light in the distance with the naked eye.
What place is that?
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Judging by sight, he is currently only about three kilometers away from the light.
If we go at full speed, it should only take about half an hour to get there.
Lu Yuan took it out and glanced at it.
The map was found to have no other information points marked except for the most basic geographical distribution, and this bright area was not displayed at all.
"Let's go take a look anyway!"
Since we're heading deeper into the Fire Forest Secret Realm anyway, and will inevitably pass through that bright area, we might as well go and take a look.
After making his decision, Lu Yuan put away the map and walked forward.
At his signal, the red phosphorus continued to shrink until it was the thickness of a thumb and wrapped around his wrist.
Moving forward relentlessly.
Due to the scorching heat, Lu Yuan had to wipe the sweat from his brow from time to time. This reminded him of the cave he had explored in the Black Forest Secret Realm, and he still thought about the spirit tree full of pure spiritual energy.
Unfortunately, the cave has collapsed, and even if he goes back to look for it, he probably won't find anything.
Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Just then, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him from behind.
However, when he looked back, he found nothing.
Not even a trace of aura or spiritual energy fluctuation was left behind.
"Could it be that my perception is wrong?"
Lu Yuan was puzzled.
But when he looked away and looked ahead again, he found that the area of light was already right in front of him.
"What the hell?!"
Lu Yuan was startled.
He was quite certain that he was still some distance from this area.
Besides, he had only been walking for about ten minutes. How could he have completed the three-kilometer journey so quickly?!
Lu Yuan frowned.
This bizarre and sudden situation made him instinctively tense up, quickly adjust all his muscles, and enter a state where he could attack or defend at any moment.
At the same time, he let the red phosphorus detach from his wrist, return to its original size, and guard his side.
What puzzled him was...
Normally, those few seconds he spent adjusting his state would have been a perfect opportunity for the opponent to attack, but nothing around him changed, not even a slight breeze.
This made Lu Yuan doubt his own judgment once again.
"Am I just being too nervous?"
But if that's the case, how do you explain why this area suddenly crossed the distance and came to him?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest. After looking around twice, he gave Chi Lin a look, and the two of them slowly walked into the area of light.
It wasn't until he had completely entered the area that Lu Yuan realized the light was due to the surrounding trees.
Unlike the gray-black dead trees outside.
The trees here are all grayish-white, and are surrounded by a faint milky-white light.
Although the light was rather faint, the sheer number of trees made the entire area appear as a milky white glow.
Lu Yuan tentatively reached out and touched the strange glowing trees.
These glowing trees were found to be no different from normal trees, except that they felt smoother to the touch, as if they had been carefully polished.
"Hiss!"
Just as Lu Yuan was feeling puzzled, the red phosphorus not far away suddenly turned around and flicked its tongue at him.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan immediately turned to look at him. "Chilin, have you discovered something?"
"hiss!"
Chi Lin nodded slightly to Lu Yuan, then crawled forward.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately followed.
After walking nearly a hundred meters, Lu Yuan saw a plant that was different from the other trees around him.
