Chapter 1663: Chapter 819: Flame Codex? Patience Is Still Needed!
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully observed the spot where the Blazing Fire Snake disappeared by the Magma Pool, trying to find some clues.
Although the Blazing Fire Snake has disappeared, its body may have sunk deep into the pool and might still have some precious relics left.
“Qing Shuang, do you have any way to detect the position of the Blazing Fire Snake’s body?” Luo Chen asked, his eyes fixed on every ripple of the Magma Pool.
Qing Shuang closed her eyes and began to cast a Sensing Technique.
Her hands gently danced in the air, emitting faint blue light from her fingertips, gradually merging into the surrounding air.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed to a corner of the Magma Pool.
“Over there, I can sense a strong Fire Element energy fluctuation, it should be where the Blazing Fire Snake’s body is.” Qing Shuang said.
Luo Chen nodded; he knew well that Qing Shuang’s Sensing Technique was always accurate.
He looked around to ensure there were no other threats and began to think about how to retrieve the Blazing Fire Snake’s body.
“We need some special tools; ordinary spells might not be stable in the magma.” Luo Chen pondered.
Qing Shuang thought for a moment and then took out a peculiar Magical Treasure from her Storage Bag, a long hook made of frost ice.
This Magical Treasure is called “Frost Ice Hook” and was unexpectedly obtained by Qing Shuang during an expedition. It can withstand extremely high temperatures, making it an excellent tool for retrieving the Blazing Fire Snake’s body.
“Try this.” Qing Shuang handed the Frost Ice Hook to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen took the Frost Ice Hook and felt the cold air emanating from it, nodding.
He cautiously approached the Magma Pool and lowered the Frost Ice Hook into the magma.
The Frost Ice Hook quickly sank into the magma but did not melt; instead, it emitted a more dazzling light.
Luo Chen manipulated the Frost Ice Hook, beginning his search for the Blazing Fire Snake’s body in the magma.
After some effort, he finally located the Blazing Fire Snake’s body and hooked it.
Then, he began to carefully pull the body towards the edge of the Magma Pool.
As the Blazing Fire Snake’s body was pulled out of the Magma Pool, the entire Flame Valley seemed to shudder.
Flames still burned fiercely on its body, but life was no longer present.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully observed this large body, discovering it was covered in precious scales, each glistening with a fiery red sheen.
“These scales can be used to craft powerful armor; they’re priceless to us.” Qing Shuang said, eyes glinting with excitement.
Luo Chen nodded; he began to think about how to handle the body.
They couldn’t take away the entire body, but they could remove some of the most valuable parts.
“Let’s take some scales and the inner core, and leave the rest here; after all, we shouldn’t be greedy.” Luo Chen suggested.
Qing Shuang agreed with Luo Chen’s proposal. They began to carefully remove the Blazing Fire Snake’s scales and inner core.
The process was slow, but they cooperated seamlessly, successfully obtaining the parts they needed.
“Okay, we should leave.” Luo Chen said, he safely stored the scales and inner core.
After all, the Flame Valley Secret Realm contains much more than just this.
Previously, before the Secret Realm opened, there were numerous cultivators waiting outside.
After the Secret Realm opened, these cultivators rushed in.
Therefore, they must race against time.
To see if they can continue to scavenge some other valuable items in this Secret Realm.
After packing their spoils, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang swiftly left the edge of the Magma Pool, knowing there were many unknown dangers and opportunities within the Flame Valley.
They traveled through the Flame Valley, alert to surrounding movements and searching for possible treasures.
“Qing Shuang, where do you think we should search?” Luo Chen asked, his gaze sweeping over the rock walls and ground around them.
Qing Shuang pondered for a moment and then pointed in a direction: “Over there seems to have some unusual fluctuations, let’s go check it out.”
The two cautiously moved toward that direction, traversing fiery red rocks and erupting volcano craters.
As they delved deeper, the surrounding temperature rose, and the air was filled with the scent of sulfur.
“Watch your step.” Qing Shuang warned, noticing some unusual cracks on the ground.
Luo Chen nodded, using the Blood Slaughter Blade to gently tap the ground, trying to probe for traps.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, with hot gas gushing from the cracks.
“Get back!” Luo Chen shouted as he and Qing Shuang swiftly retreated.
At that moment, the ground suddenly split open, and a giant firebird burst out from below, its feathers blazing like fire, its wings spread wide as it soared into the sky.
“It’s the Fire Phoenix!” Qing Shuang exclaimed, realizing this legendary creature possessed immense power.
The Fire Phoenix hovered in the air, letting out a crisp call, seemingly warning Luo Chen and Qing Shuang not to approach.
“We mean no harm, just exploring the Flame Valley.” Luo Chen said loudly, trying to communicate with the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix seemed to understand Luo Chen’s words, circling the air once before landing slowly on the ground.
Its eyes revealed a touch of wisdom, as if examining the pair before it.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing this was a rare opportunity.
The Fire Phoenix is the Guardian of Flame Valley; if they earn its approval, perhaps they could gain more secrets.
