The next morning, the three packed their things and continued on their way. Ye Sisi really missed the days when she had spiritual energy. It was such a short distance; if they flew on a sword, it would only take an hour at most, but if they rode wolves, it would take a whole day.
If it weren't for that phoenix egg, if she had any other way to get out, she wouldn't want to suffer like this. Humph, that damned Heavenly Dao, all he does is cause her trouble all day long!
Wei Shengxi's estimate was very accurate. They arrived near Yanwang Cave around 10 a.m. because what they could see was no longer white snow, but bright, almost blinding yellow sand. The temperature here was also much higher than in other places.
The sand wolf was unwilling to go any further and anxiously scratched at the yellow sand that was rising from the ground with its paws. Seeing this, Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli jumped off the sand wolf's back.
Ye Sisi was so hot that she took off her thick winter clothes and reluctantly removed her hat. She couldn't let such a nice outfit go to waste; she'd wear it again later!
"Ah-Xi, you can wait for us here, or you can go further away. We'll be right back!"
Wei Sheng nodded happily and, without hesitation, pulled the three sand wolves backward, as if they had seen a plague.
Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli didn't linger any longer. The reason they were certain that the phoenix egg was here was because this place was the strangest in the entire Absolute Cold Desert. Other places, including Elf City, were in a state of low temperature all year round.
Moreover, there is a cold wave every year. During each cold wave, both elves and animals like sand wolves have to stay indoors, or they will freeze to death.
But this Flame King Cave is different. Even during a cold snap, the temperature in this area is extremely high, and since phoenixes belong to the fire element, the phoenix eggs must be here.
The two walked in despite the high temperature, and their clothes were soon soaked with sweat. There was no trace of snow to be seen, only yellow sand as far as the eye could see. Moreover, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the heat wave that hit them made their skin feel a slight burning sensation.
Fortunately, the two were not attacked by the lava that Wei Shengxi had mentioned. To their surprise, they also sensed a faint spiritual energy.
The further they went in, the higher the temperature became, and the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. So the two of them decided to stop and find a place to absorb the spiritual energy.
After recovering, Ye Sisi first checked on Ouyang Yanyu's condition in the space. She was still unconscious, but thankfully, she was still breathing, and although her vital signs were weak, they were very stable.
Just a short distance away from her lay a large pile of broken items, and Ye Sisi's eyes widened in shock. How had her Heavenly Tribulation weapons all turned out like this? Not a single usable one remained! It was heartbreaking!
"Little Fatty, it's all broken, why did you pick it up again?"
Little Fatty ignored her and just hid to the side, laughing happily. She loved seeing this brat's sad little expression.
When Ye Sisi saw that Little Fatty was ignoring her, she knew that he was probably doing it on purpose, wanting to see her feel sorry for him. So she gritted her teeth, turned her head and looked at Cangtou. This guy seemed to be a branch of the Phantom Phoenix. He should at least let it out to see its distant relatives! Unfortunately, Cangtou was still asleep.
Then he looked at Guobao again, but Guobao had fallen asleep again at some point. Xiaopang's voice sounded softly, "Don't look anymore. Guobao overexerted himself to save your second senior sister's life. He won't wake up for at least two or three months!"
"What happened to my second senior sister? Is the national treasure alright?!"
Little Fatty said irritably, "Guobao said that your second senior sister seems to be under a curse, and it can't break it. All it can do is temporarily save her life. The rest is up to you!"
What is sorcery?
"I'm just a spirit, how would I know if you ask me!"
Ye Sisi suppressed her worry for Ouyang Yanyu and quickly said, "How is the national treasure? I'm feeding it blood now!"
Little Fatty rolled his eyes: "Everyone was already asleep, where were you before!"
Ye Sisi smiled sweetly, then said in a sinister tone, "Want to do more homework again?"
Little Fatty shuddered, his voice trembling slightly: "No...no, you go ahead and do your work, I'm fine here!" With that, he flicked Ye Sisi's consciousness away.
Ye Sisi pouted, then moved closer to Su Jiuli: "Senior Brother, do you know what incantations are?"
Su Jiuli raised an eyebrow: "Why do you ask that, Junior Sister?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi felt there was hope and quickly repeated what the little fat man had just said. Su Jiuli stroked his chin and frowned, saying, "Spellcasting is a special cultivation system. I don't know much about it. I've only occasionally seen records of spellcasting in some ancient books, but as far as I know, spellcasting disappeared nearly ten thousand years ago. It shouldn't be here!"
Ye Sisi sighed. It seemed that her senior brother didn't know what kind of curse her second senior sister was under either. So she didn't ask any more questions, but grabbed his wrist and said, "Alright, senior brother, now that you have spiritual power, let me check your body!"
She was still a little worried. Su Jiuli's condition before had really frightened her. Now that she had the means, she had to get a full check-up.
Su Jiuli suppressed his worry for Ouyang Yanyu and nodded with a smile. Actually, he also found it strange. His injuries should have been quite serious. Even though he had recuperated in the Elven race for a few days, the medicines he received were just ordinary herbs and shouldn't have had such a good healing effect.
So after Ye Sisi finished her examination, he smiled and asked, "Junior Sister, what else did you do before?"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, Ye Sisi stuck out her tongue: "You were already out of breath, so I had no choice but to give you a little blood, since Little Fatty said my blood has a lot of vitality!"
