Chapter 61 Flame Tree
"Master, we're at Flame Park," Pierre reminded.
As soon as they got off the car, they felt a heat wave heading towards them.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Dongfang Ling looked at the branches and leaves covering the entire park in surprise. From a distance, it looked like a huge red cloud.
Mu Qingxin looked at the park in front of her. Isn't that a maple tree? "Pierre, is this the Flame Tree?"
"Yes, Master, there is only this Flame Tree on the Capital Planet."
"One?!" Mu Qingxin exclaimed in surprise, looking at the area of about several thousand square meters covered with maple leaves. How big must the tree be?
"Yes, Master. Currently, there's only one Flame Tree this large in the interstellar space, and that's because it's been around for thousands of years. This Flame Tree has existed for so long, its roots extending to the center of the Capital Planet. It can be said that the Capital Planet and this Flame Tree coexist. If this Flame Tree dies, the Capital Planet will explode."
"So scary!" Dongfang Ling was a little scared after hearing this. "How long can this flaming tree live? I have to stay in the capital planet to study for the next ten years. What if..."
"Don't worry, Miss Lingling, this Flame Tree can survive for at least a few thousand years."
"Oh, that's good." Dongfang Ling patted his chest and pulled Mu Qingxin, "Come on, let's go in and see how big this tree is."
As I walked through the fence, a heat wave washed over my body, two degrees hotter than before.
"Why is it so hot just one step away?" Dongfang Ling took a step back and then a step forward, repeatedly experiencing the temperature difference.
Ying Si watched the young lady having more and more fun, his forehead throbbing, and stepped forward, "Miss, there are people waiting to go in behind, let's go in."
Mu Qingxin reached out and touched it lightly, spreading her spiritual sense and discovering that this circle of fence was actually a protective screen that not only protected the flaming tree, but also controlled the temperature inside to prevent it from spreading.
"There is a protective screen that isolates the heat inside." Mu Qingxin said.
Dongfang Ling nodded after hearing this and said, "No wonder, Xinxin, let's go quickly. This place is more fun than the Heroes Monument."
Indeed, the Flame Tree is set up like a playground, attracting many children and couples to come here to play. However, the closer you get to the Flame Tree, the hotter it feels. How can these people endure the heat?
"Miss, Miss Mu, these are ice stones. When you wear them, you won't feel the heat. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk forward." Ying San bought four ice stones from the door and brought them over.
Dongfang Ling took them, gave one to Mu Qingxin, and put the other around her neck. "No wonder people here wear stones around their necks. I thought it was some kind of hobby, but it turns out to be an ice stone."
Mu Qingxin also put it on. As expected, as soon as she put the ice stone on her body, she immediately felt cool and only felt a slight heat.
Mu Qingxin marveled again, life in the interstellar space was really different from her previous life. There was nothing that others could not do, only she could not think of it.
"Xinxin, let's go sit on that one, it looks like fun."
Dongfang Ling dragged Mu Qingxin to the roller coaster. Looking at the screaming children on it, Dongfang Ling burst into laughter. "Haha, this is so exciting. Let's go and try it too."
Mu Qingxin glanced at him. She was really scared. "Lingling, you go play. I won't go. I'll just watch."
"No, we have to play together today. If you don't play with me, I won't play either." Dongfang Ling felt that fun things should be shared with good friends. If Xinxin didn't play and she had so much fun playing alone, she would feel so sorry for Xinxin.
Mu Qingxin: Miss, you think too much. You don’t have to feel sorry for me, really!
In the end, Mu Qingxin had no choice but to ride the roller coaster with Dongfang Ling, as she couldn't stop her enthusiasm, thinking that as long as she closed her eyes the whole time, it would be fine.
But, damn, wasn't this supposed to be a roller coaster? Why did the scenery change as soon as I sat down? Is this a haunted house?
"ah--"
"ah--"
Screams, fear, and excitement filled her ears. Mu Qingxin closed her eyes tightly, but what was that slippery, cold touch on her arm?
Mu Qingxin opened her eyes and saw a huge, ugly green caterpillar covered in blue liquid, stretching out one of its tentacle to touch her arm.
"Ah - Mom -" Mu Qingxin felt numb all over her body and screamed reflexively. The sound waves reached the highest point, drowning out the voices of everyone in the car. Everyone only felt a brief deafness.
The control panel controlling the scene settings whirred and died. Before anyone could react, the scene suddenly returned to the park. The roller coaster owner was stunned. It had only been running for five minutes. What had happened? He hurried to the control room, but all the screens were black and there was a strong smell of burning.
"Fuck, how could it break? How many credit points will I lose?" The boss was in tears. The most important thing now was to comfort the tourists.
After the boss returned the credit points and apologized again, the tourists left satisfied.
Dongfang Ling said with a lingering feeling, "What a bummer! It was so exciting just now, and I haven't gotten into the mood yet."
Mu Qingxin's face was pale, and the numbness on her skin had not yet dissipated. What she hated and feared most were insects. When she suddenly felt the touch, Mu Qingxin shuddered.
Dongfang Ling finally noticed that something was wrong with Mu Qingxin, "Xinxin, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Why are your hands so cold?" Dongfang Ling anxiously held Mu Qingxin's hand.
Mu Qingxin smiled stiffly, "It's okay, I was just scared, I'll recover in a while."
Seeing Xinxin like this, Dongfang Ling felt filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, Xinxin. It's all my fault for forcing you to go out and play. I didn't know you would be scared. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm just scared of the bugs. It's okay, I've recovered. Let's go and continue shopping."
Seeing Mu Qingxin's face regain its color, Dongfang Ling finally felt relieved. At the same time, she remembered in her heart that she must not let Xinxin see insects in the future.
Mu Qixi, who was not far away, saw his sister's pale face and almost couldn't help but rush out to take his sister home. He felt very distressed. Fortunately, he saw that his sister had recovered, so he suppressed his worries.
Dongfang Ling and Mu Qingxin continued to walk towards the center of the flaming tree. The further they went, the hotter they felt. The ice stones on their bodies were not of much use, and there were fewer and fewer people around.
They were still eight hundred meters away from the trunk of the Flame Tree, and several people were already sweating. It was okay for Shadow Three and Shadow Four, who had relatively high cultivation levels, but Mu Qingxin and Dongfang Ling were not so good, and sweat was dripping down.
"Miss, Miss Mu, don't go any further. Your cultivation level is no longer suitable for going forward." Ying San advised.
After hearing this, the two looked at the scattered people in front of them, some of whom were even sitting there meditating.
"What are they doing?"
"That's a fire ability user. The fire element is abundant here, which is beneficial for the cultivation of fire ability users."
Mu Qingxin looked at the thick flame tree not far away, and felt a little strange in her heart. She really wanted to walk over there and touch the trunk.
