This sudden situation surprised even Lu Chen.
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Chen did not rush forward, but waited where he was.
Not long after, a huge creature was seen rushing toward them from afar.
It was the Azure Rock Lion King who received Lu Chen's telepathic message.
The Azure Rock Lion King cautiously approached, and upon seeing the incredibly docile appearance of the Crimson Flame Python before him, he was filled with disbelief.
However, the Azure Rock Lion King naturally obeyed his master's every word.
"Let's go."
Lu Chen leaped onto the back of the Azure Rock Lion King and then glanced at the Crimson Python.
The Crimson Serpent's eyes darted back and forth between Lu Chen and the Azure Rock Lion King, becoming increasingly certain that its guess was correct.
This guy must be a divine beast transformed into human form. Otherwise, a demon beast as arrogant as the Azure Rock Lion King would not easily recognize this human as its master.
The Crimson Serpent led the way; its massive body was surprisingly agile, moving with incredible speed.
Lu Chen rode the Azure Rock Lion King, leisurely following behind, admiring the beautiful scenery of Crimson Flame Mountain.
It must be said that Crimson Flame Mountain is indeed extraordinary.
At first, Lu Chen and the Azure Rock Lion King simply raided and plundered the outskirts of Crimson Flame Mountain, killing many demonic beasts and acquiring a lot of treasures.
But compared to the depths of Crimson Flame Mountain, it's nothing.
There are all kinds of rare and precious herbs here, far more than in the surrounding areas.
Lu Chen was astonished when he saw it.
The Azure Rock Lion King's eyes gleamed. If he hadn't been with the Crimson Serpent at that moment, he would have pounced on it and taken all the treasures.
Lu Chen was quite restrained. He didn't understand the meaning of the Crimson Serpent yet. If he went to plunder its treasures now, the serpent might turn on him.
Following the giant crimson python, they arrived deep within the Crimson Flame Mountain at the entrance to a massive cave.
The cave was pitch black, looking extremely eerie and terrifying, exuding endless demonic energy.
However, Lu Chen could sense an incredibly rich spiritual energy emanating from it.
This spiritual energy is more than ten times denser than that of the outer area of Crimson Flame Mountain.
"This should be the lair of the Crimson Serpent."
As expected, the Crimson Serpent hesitated for a moment before diving headfirst into the dark cave.
He also gestured for Lu Chen and the Green Rock Lion King to follow.
"Master, be careful."
The Azure Rock Lion King became increasingly cautious. Unlike Lu Chen, it still felt fear towards the Crimson Python, after all, the other party was of a higher level, stronger, and many times larger than it.
If they were to clash head-on, the Crimson Serpent would be able to easily kill it instantly.
"It's alright! Let's go in and take a look first."
Lu Chen immediately followed the Crimson Serpent into the underground cave.
The Lion King of Qingyan had no choice but to follow.
The underground cave was bottomless, and no one knew how long it would take to descend. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared below.
"Could this place lead somewhere else?"
Lu Chen was puzzled by this, but he didn't think much of it. When he finally reached the bottom, he discovered that there was a hidden world inside.
This enormous cave seems to have hollowed out the entire Crimson Flame Mountain. Deep within the Crimson Flame Mountain lies such a mysterious place.
"No wonder this guy chose this place as his lair; the spiritual energy here is so rich it's almost dripping with moisture."
Lu Chen felt a slight shock, as if he had finally discovered the greatest secret of Crimson Flame Mountain.
It seems that this Crimson Serpent has absolute faith in the identity of the divine beast; otherwise, it would never have allowed outsiders into its lair. It seems it really wants to curry favor with me.
"That place is?"
As soon as Lu Chen entered the underground cave, he immediately sensed a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy not far in front of him.
Lu Chen looked closely and saw a spring in the corner of the cave, constantly bubbling. When the bubbles burst, they released an incredibly rich spiritual energy.
"This is."
Lu Chen suddenly remembered that he had read related ancient records when he was in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
It is said that in some very special places in this world, when the spiritual energy is concentrated to a certain degree, it will directly condense into spiritual liquid, which is the form of liquid spiritual energy.
What he saw was a pool of spiritual liquid about three zhang square. He didn't know how deep it was, but he could sense from the continuous spiritual energy emanating from it that there was probably a lot of spiritual liquid here.
It seems to be constantly emerging from the depths of the earth, inexhaustible.
"This is the greatest treasure of Crimson Flame Mountain!"
Lu Chen was overjoyed and subconsciously looked at the Crimson Serpent.
The Crimson Serpent brought me here; I wonder what its intentions are.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't think it was going to attack him here. Once this secret was exposed, not to mention the powerful demonic beasts deep in the Black Dragon Mountains, even the spirit beasts of Black Dragon City would probably swarm over!
In comparison, the Crimson Serpent, a mere level-five demonic beast, is utterly insignificant.
They were easily crushed to death.
The Crimson Python kept flicking its huge forked tongue, seemingly trying to communicate with Lu Chen, but Lu Chen didn't understand what it was trying to convey.
Because he is not a true demon.
But the Lion King of Qingyan understood.
“Master, this Crimson Serpent says it wants to become your pet and is willing to follow you! It is willing to offer you this enormous treasure.”
The Azure Rock Lion King's telepathic message was also filled with disbelief. Lu Chen was also stunned when he heard this, but after seeing the Crimson Serpent's reaction earlier, he already had a guess in his mind.
