1159: Chapter 1152: Earth Flame Crystal!
Regaining Strength!
A place on the southern side of Flaming Sun Island.
Here stood rows of houses constructed of wood and stone, roughly totaling over three hundred buildings!
Not far from these houses, many fields had been cultivated, filled with all varieties of vegetables—this was the only village on the entire Flaming Sun Island.
Inside the village meeting hall, those with speaking power had all arrived.
Jin Sanshi, who had stumbled back, was diagnosed by the village doctor with two broken ribs.
At this point, his chest was tightly bound with bandages and his face was full of extreme anger.
Sitting at the head of the meeting hall was a man in his fifties; he was Jin Sanshi’s father, Jin Weiqiang, and also the village head in every sense of the word.
Upon learning that his youngest son Jin Sanshi’s ribs had been broken, he immediately convened this meeting.
After Jin Weiqiang let Jin Sanshi recount the rough details of the incident to those present, he furiously exclaimed, “Dong Wanru, this jinx, has gone too far this time.
Not only did she bring a strange man into her home, but when Sanshi tried to find out what was going on, she broke his ribs instead.
What kind of behavior is this?
Dong Wanru must be the reincarnation of a demon, having wrought death upon her own parents, and now she’s cursed us too?
You know, the temperature on Flaming Sun Island has been rising over the years, which must be heaven’s punishment for Dong Wanru, the demonic incarnation.
This time we must be severe; we have to burn both Dong Wanru and that stranger who hurt Sanshi with fire to appease the wrath of the gods.”
The middle-aged man seated next to Jin Weiqiang slightly frowned.
He was Dong Wanru’s uncle, Dong Qingshan.
Clearing his throat, he said, “Weiqiang, this matter hasn’t been thoroughly investigated yet.
There might be more to it than meets the eye.
There’s no need to jump to conclusions so early.” Dong Qingshan was very much aware of his niece Dong Wanru’s character, and he was also very familiar with Jin Sanshi’s nature—viewing Jin Sanshi as nothing but a mangy dog, Dong Qingshan was certain that it must have been Jin Sanshi who did something unspeakable first.
“Dong Qingshan, what do you mean by that?
Are you suggesting that Sanshi is lying?” asked Jin Weiqiang with a dark expression.
Dong Qingshan inwardly chuckled wryly, replying, “That’s not what I mean!
However, we’ve just had a group of thugs arrive on Flaming Sun Island, and we’re no match for them.
Now is not the time to create unnecessary complications.”
“I believe that all of this is instigated by Dong Wanru, the demon incarnate.
Perhaps if Dong Wanru were to vanish from this world, all the disasters on Flaming Sun Island would come to an end.
Let’s decide by voting.
I, for one, agree that both Dong Wanru and that strange man should be executed,” Jin Weiqiang was the first to raise his arm.
“I agree!”
“I also agree with what the village head said.”
…
Soon, more than half of the people in the meeting hall raised their hands, much to Jin Weiqiang’s satisfaction, while Dong Qingshan looked worried.
It seemed that even he wouldn’t be able to protect Dong Wanru this time.
In his heart, Dong Wanru was a poor child, and as her uncle, he had only ever helped her in secret.
“Good, since more than half of you support me, let’s immediately gather our people and capture Dong Wanru and that strange man.
As for those thugs, we’ll deal with them later,” Jin Weiqiang stood up and declared.
“Sanshi, don’t worry, your big brother will help you take revenge.
But, your little schemes—I, your brother, am well aware of them!” said a young man standing next to Jin Sanshi, grinning.
This young man was sturdy-built, none other than Jin Sanshi’s own older brother, Jin Jianzhuang.
Jin Jianzhuang continued in a whisper, “I’ve also wanted to have a taste of Dong Wanru myself for a long time.
Previously, she always pretended to be so aloof, but this time there’s no way she can escape.
I can see that our father also has designs on Dong Wanru, which means before burning Dong Wanru, he’ll definitely make a move.
When the time comes, we just need to get a share of the spoils,” he said.
…
Meanwhile, the villagers began to take action against Dong Wanru and Ye Chenfeng.
In the Flame Forest of Flaming Sun Island.
Dong Wanru, whose acupoints had been sealed preventing her from moving, listened to Ye Chenfeng’s reassuring smile, and her heart clenched violently.
Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Ye Chenfeng, biting her lips tightly.
She knew she couldn’t stop Chenfeng, and could only stand behind and watch helplessly.
Ye Chenfeng’s arms were burnt and flesh blurred, and even his face started to blister from the heat.
His mind was reeling with a strong sense of faintness.
Ye Chenfeng fiercely bit his own tongue to prevent himself from passing out, knowing that if he lost consciousness here, no one could save him.
Using his arms, Ye Chenfeng continuously moved forward.
His clothes had long been burned to ashes by the hot air.
After a difficult and painful twenty minutes of crawling, Ye Chenfeng finally reached the center of the Flame Forest, shifted his body to one side, and started digging into the soil in front of him with great effort.
“Boom!”
Just as he had scraped away the first layer of soil, a blaze of fire shot up to the sky.
Chenfeng, currently unprotected by Soul Force, was immediately engulfed in flames.
Watching the scene from afar, Dong Wanru cried out with a sobbing voice: “You fool, you big fool—”
As Ye Chenfeng’s body ignited, the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus in his Dantian suddenly began to spin rapidly, releasing an extreme coldness that instantly extinguished the burning flames.
With the operation of the Ice Snow Lotus, Chenfeng immediately felt an incredible sense of relief in his body.
With the help of the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus, Ye Chenfeng no longer feared the intense heat.
He looked at the palm-sized, prism-shaped objects embedded in the soil and a voice suddenly rang in his head inexplicably: “These are Earth Flame Crystals.”
From a distance, Dong Wanru saw not only that the flames on Ye Chenfeng’s body had been extinguished, but that he was also wrapped in a layer of ice.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, as this was completely beyond her knowledge.
Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng shook his head vigorously, muttering to himself: “Earth Flame Crystals?
Who was just talking?
Or am I hallucinating?”
After pondering for a moment and coming up with no answer, Ye Chenfeng cast the question aside.
Right now, the most important thing was to recover his strength, or else he could very well die at the hands of the ordinary people on Flaming Sun Island.
Ye Chenfeng took a pale red Earth Flame Crystal in his hand.
With the help of the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus, the temperature of the crystal was completely isolated.
Then, Chenfeng began to try absorbing the Fire Attribute energy within the Earth Flame Crystal.
He had hardly begun to absorb it when a surge of powerful Fire Attribute energy rushed into Chenfeng’s Meridians, as if it wanted to burn his Meridians as well.
Fortunately, the red mist in the Dantian also started moving, absorbing much of the energy, with only a small part being absorbed by Ye Chenfeng.
Knowing his body couldn’t withstand such tremendous energy, that was why the red mist came out to help.
With the assistance of the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus and the red mist, Ye Chenfeng greedily absorbed the power of the Earth Flame Crystals.
As the absorption accelerated, the pale red Earth Flame Crystal in Chenfeng’s hand eventually turned transparent and with a “bang!” it shattered into countless powders.
As time went by, second by second.
Ye Chenfeng had absorbed thirty pieces of pale red Earth Flame Crystals.
Although most of the energy was taken on by the red mist, even so, Ye Chenfeng’s Meridians had almost completely recovered, his broken chest bones healed fully, with Soul Force in his body returning to the level of 10th grade Peak Soul Force.
Only after having Soul Force in his body did Ye Chenfeng feel relieved.
Now, even if he didn’t recover to his most peak condition, just relying on this 10th grade Peak Soul Force, no one on this small Flaming Sun Island could touch him.
Filled with Fire Attribute energy in his Meridians, Chenfeng continued to restore his Soul Force without stop.
