Sure enough, he discovered a small, almost invisible red mark on the back of the giant ape’s neck.
The seal slowly disappeared, but the remaining aura remained
David’s eyes turned cold.
The aura of this talisman was seven or eight parts similar to the aura of the evil cultivator from the Evil Path Hall that I met in Black Wind Valley!
“Evil Path Hall has he infiltrated this place?”
Danger alarms sounded in his mind.
“Brother Daoist Chen, are you alright?” Lin Feng and Shi Meng stepped forward, their attitudes increasingly respectful.
“It doesn’t matter.”
David shook his head. “Keep moving forward and reach the Fire Spirit Valley as quickly as possible.”
He turned his head back to look at the Fire Earth Pavilion team, his gaze lingering on Yan Lie for a moment, before turning around and continuing to lead the way.
Yan Lie felt goosebumps run down his spine from that gaze, but then a deeper sense of jealousy rose within him: “What are you looking at! Wait until we return to the Fire Earth Pavilion, and I’ll see how I deal with you!”
The procession continues.
With David showing such terrifying strength, the rest of the journey went much smoother.
Occasionally, fierce beasts would appear, but they were quickly dealt with.
Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the Flame Spirit Basin.
It is a circular basin about three miles in diameter, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one narrow entrance.
The temperature inside the basin was extremely high, and the ground was a dark red crystalline soil that produced sharp “cracking” sounds when stepped on.
In the center of the basin, there is a lava lake with a diameter of 100 zhang (about 33 meters), and in the center of the lake is a small red island.
On the island, a patch of dark red spiritual herbs grew. The leaves were slender with golden veins along the edges, and dark red light flowed faintly within the stem, like flowing flames.
This is the main goal of our journey—Fire Spirit Grass!
At a glance, one could see at least forty or fifty plants, of which more than thirty were mature, with pale gold flame-shaped flowers blooming at the tips of the grass.
“Meet!”
The Earth Fire Pavilion disciples became excited.
Elder Yanxin’s expression turned serious: “Be careful, Yanlong might be nearby.”
He looked at David and the guards: “Sirs, according to the agreement, you are responsible for guarding against possible attacks by wild beasts. The work of harvesting will be carried out by the disciples of the Earth Fire Pavilion.”
“The reward will be doubled after the task is completed.”
The guards nodded and spread out at the entrance of the basin and its surroundings, keeping watch.
Under Elder Yanxin’s orders, the Fire Earth Pavilion disciples carefully entered the basin and began to harvest the Fire Spirit Grass.
Huo Ling’er followed him in. He seemed very skilled at picking spiritual herbs, his movements were gentle and quick, and he immediately plucked three mature Fire Spirit Herbs.
Yan Lie followed beside her, picking fruit while carefully observing their surroundings.
Everything seemed to be running smoothly.
However, just when the Earth Fire Pavilion disciples were harvesting their 20th Fire Spirit Grass—
“roar!!!”
A deafening dragon roar erupted from the depths of the lava lake!
The entire valley shook violently, and the lava lake churned as if it was boiling, creating giant lava waves several meters high!
A giant, awe-inspiring figure slowly emerged from the lava lake.
It was a giant dragon over thirty zhang long! Its entire body was covered in golden red scales, each as big as a basin, with edges as sharp as knives.
The dragon’s head looked fierce, its horns were like pure gold, and its eyes burned with real golden flames.
The terrifying dragon might swept across the valley like a tsunami, causing all cultivators below the seventh rank of the Immortal Lord Realm to experience difficulty breathing and slow circulation of their immortal power.
Immortal Lord Realm Ninth Level Peak – Fire Dragon!
“Oh no! We’ve alerted him!”
Elder Yan Xin’s expression changed drastically, “Retreat immediately!”
The Earth Fire Pavilion disciples rushed out of the basin.
However, it was too late.
The Fire Dragon opened its huge mouth and spat out a jet of golden flame with a diameter exceeding three zhang!
Wherever the flames passed, even space itself was scorched and distorted!
“Form a defensive formation!” shouted Elder Yanxin.
The Earth Fire Pavilion disciples quickly formed a crimson defensive array, barely managing to block the first wave of fire attacks.
However, the array’s protective barrier fluctuated violently, clearly unable to last for long.
