Chapter 839: The Mysterious Fire Fox
Wenren Qi was stunned for a moment: "...What?"
What did the boy mean by that?
He... he can see what he sees?
Hua Ling turned her face and gestured for Wenren Qi to be quiet: "It is said that before they die, the victims will see the faces of the people they want to see one more time."
"You just saw your family, didn't you?"
Wenren Qi was utterly shocked as he listened to what Hua Ling said—this boy could actually see the scene he had imagined through his eyes!
What kind of magic is this? Is it witchcraft?!
"The bond between family members is very precious," Hua Ling said with a half-smile. "We should cherish it."
When Wenrenqi realized what was happening and wanted to ask more questions, the snow-clad youth flicked his sleeve and left.
He gracefully leaped away, his toes lightly touching the iron chains connecting the suspension bridge.
The spirit stroked its chin, its gaze fixed on the lava flow below. After a moment of contemplation, it snapped its fingers and muttered to itself, "So it was down there..."
*
Ye Fei and Ling had walked quite a distance on the suspension bridge, their attention completely focused on the black nightshade ginseng, so they were unaware of what was happening behind them.
As she got closer and closer to the Dragon Sunflower Blood Ginseng, Ye Fei felt a few fluctuations in her heart.
I'm almost there with the black nightshade and blood ginseng...
Li Yuan, wait for me a little longer.
You must hold on.
Ye Fei quickened her pace unconsciously, and a quarter of an hour later, they arrived safely in front of the Longkui Blood Ginseng.
That spiritual plant radiating red light is within easy reach.
Just as Ling used her spiritual energy to form a sharp feather blade and was about to cut the Dragon Sunflower Blood Ginseng off by the roots, Ye Fei suddenly said, "Ling, let me do it."
"Your Highness...?"
Ling blinked in confusion at first, but when her gaze fell upon the faint glint in her eyes, she immediately understood and respectfully handed over the feather blade.
Ye Fei took the feather blade and carefully observed the direction of the roots under the Longkui Blood Ginseng before starting to work.
Before the feather blade even touched the Dragon Sunflower Blood Ginseng, an androgynous voice suddenly echoed throughout the cave: "No."
The next moment, Ye Fei felt her hand being restricted by a force, unable to move it even a little!
Ling's pupils contracted, and she immediately shielded Ye Fei behind her, shouting sharply, "Who?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lava flow under the suspension bridge suddenly surged into a rolling wave of crimson flames, and scorching fire rushed straight towards him!
A terrifyingly threatening aura bypassed Ling and struck Ye Fei directly. Ye Fei's breath caught in her throat, and a metallic taste rose in her throat—it could speak human language, and it exuded this oppressive aura… This was a sacred beast!
Ling released a wisp of her own spiritual energy to envelop Ye Fei, her pupils instantly turning into vertical slits: "A sacred beast?"
A blinding, burning red light burst forth from the lava flow, causing Ye Fei to immediately close her eyes, and Ling also involuntarily raised her hand to shield her eyes.
Wenren Qi and Helan, the siblings on the other side of the suspension bridge, were also blinded by the red light and immediately raised their sleeves to shield their eyes. Only Hua Ling, who was standing on the suspension bridge, did not react at all. Instead, she crossed her arms and watched the spirit beast swirling up from the red light with a leisurely air.
Its fur was a fiery red, its bushy and huge tail swayed back and forth, its pointed ears were adorned with sparkling patterns, its four paws trod on thick crimson flames, and its beautiful, jewel-like eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent.
When the red light faded, everyone present could finally see the true form of the spirit beast—it was a fox that was entirely red!
