The Ironclad Scorpion's thoughts were indescribable.
This human made it sound nice, saying that he wasn't someone who wanted to repay his kindness. Bah, it was all fake.
In the end, he was still eyeing its precious green flame.
Humans were all liars!
"Can't I? I'm just taking a look. You won't be so stingy, right? "Wang Teng gradually stopped smiling and looked at the Ironclad Scorpion with a fake smile.
The Ironclad Scorpion's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This expression was inexplicably terrifying, and it made its hair stand on end.
"Yes … Yes!"
The situation was more important than the person. It was now injured all over and was at the end of its tether. It was afraid that it wouldn't be able to withstand this human's [Serious Punch]!
Forget it, this human had saved its life. The Ironclad Scorpion wasn't an ungrateful scorpion. It would bring him to take a look.
Anyway, it was only doing this to repay his kindness. There was no other meaning.
It didn't matter if others believed it or not. It believed it!
Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction, "Lead the way!"
Although he knew the way, he couldn't show it. That would be equivalent to telling the Ironclad Scorpion that he had already snuck in.
Moreover, he wanted to see where the Ironclad Scorpion's treasures were kept.
If he exposed himself too early, there would be no chance of survival. It would probably fight him to the death!
Wang Teng silently calculated in his heart. His evil eyes fell on the Ironclad Scorpion.
The Ironclad Scorpion, who was leading the way, suddenly shuddered. It carefully looked back and found that Wang Teng still had a righteous look on his face.
Maybe he really just wanted to take a look?
The Ironclad Scorpion thought as it brought Wang Teng deep into the stone forest.
Wang Teng saw the green flame again. He was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "What's the origin of this flame?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know either." The Ironclad Scorpion smiled bitterly.
"Where did it come from? Or did it just come out of nowhere? "Wang Teng asked.
The Ironclad Scorpion hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Wang Teng squinting his eyes, he trembled and hurriedly said, "I once dug down to explore. There was an unknown cyan stone under the cyan flame. The cyan flame must have emerged from the stone after it shattered and has been burning until now."
"So, this blue flame existed before you?" Wang Teng asked while stroking his chin.
"That's right, I'm naturally sensitive to fire. I accidentally found this place and felt that this blue flame was somewhat unusual, so I took it for myself," the Ironclad Scorpion said.
"You probably relied on this blue flame to grow to this point, right?" Wang Teng suddenly said meaningfully.
The Ironclad Scorpion's heart skipped a beat. It had already avoided the important point, but this human still guessed it. It nodded its huge head with a bitter smile and said, "Yes, I was originally just an ordinary Ironclad Scorpion. It's very difficult for our species to reach the Lord rank. If it weren't for this blue flame, I would have been the same as the rest of my species. Nine stars is already the limit."
It paused for a moment as if it was thinking and struggling. Finally, as if it had made a great decision, it said, "You saved my life. I have nothing to repay you, so I'll give this blue flame to you."
"You're willing to part with it?" Wang Teng looked at it in surprise and said with a faint smile.
"So what if I'm not willing to part with it? Now that I'm seriously injured, there are a few Lord rank starbeasts nearby that don't like me. It won't be long before they hear about it and come here. Even if I don't give it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this blue flame," the Ironclad Scorpion said bitterly.
"But I'm not that kind of person. Taking advantage of others … uh, taking advantage of a scorpion when it's in danger is really not in line with my righteous style," Wang Teng said righteously.
"…" The Ironclad Scorpion was speechless.
Your eyes are almost glued to the blue flame, and you're still saying you're not that kind of person?
Who are you trying to fool!
"You're not the one taking advantage of the scorpion when it's in danger. I'm the one who gave it to you," the Ironclad Scorpion said helplessly.
"Ahem, in that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse. Sigh, I'm just too kind!" Wang Teng said with a sigh.
"Shameless!" The Ironclad Scorpion cursed in its heart, but on the surface, it nodded clumsily. It had an expression that said, "Yes, that's right. You're right."
"Follow me. If you want to absorb the blue flame, you still have to absorb it from its source, and its source is underground." The Ironclad Scorpion said as it crawled forward.
Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat. He followed behind it and asked, "What will happen if I absorb this blue flame?"
"You should have seen the power of the blue flame. If you absorb it, your origin power will be imbued with the blue flame, greatly increasing your combat strength. There are even various other wonderful uses. You'll naturally understand once you absorb it," the Ironclad Scorpion explained.
Wang Teng nodded. He had higher expectations for the blue flame. He had originally planned to let Little White absorb it, but now he suddenly realized that he could absorb it himself.
When the time came, he could just split it into two portions. One person and one bird, each with a large portion. He would get a large portion, and Little White would get a small portion. This would fully reflect his Wang Family's Fair Law.
Little White probably didn't know that the blue flame that originally belonged to it had already been reduced to a small portion by its unscrupulous master.
If it knew the truth, it would probably cry on the spot!
The Ironclad Scorpion led Wang Teng into the pile of boulders. It slowly pushed aside one of the boulders, revealing a pitch-black hole that faced downward. It gestured to Wang Teng and then crawled in.
Wang Teng's eyes flashed. He jumped and followed it all the way down.
This tunnel was unexpectedly deep. They went down over a hundred meters before reaching the bottom.
The Ironclad Scorpion had dug out a huge space at the bottom. A faint blue light came from the front, illuminating the dark underground space with blue light.
The underground space was extremely hot, as if they were in a pool of magma.
The Ironclad Scorpion was like a fish in water. The wounds on its body even began to heal rapidly, alleviating its injuries.
Wang Teng naturally noticed this, but he didn't say anything and continued to follow it forward.
Not long after, he saw the source of the blue light.
Wang Teng suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but reveal an expression of shock.
Not far in front of him was a huge, sparkling and translucent blue crystal. It projected a dense blue light, appearing abnormally gorgeous.
Most of it was embedded in the stone walls on both sides, reaching all the way to the top of the underground space. It seemed that it was just as the Ironclad Scorpion had said — the blue flame had leaked out from this huge crystal.
At the same time, strands of scorching aura were emitted from the blue crystal. Wang Teng had to circulate his ice origin power to prevent himself from being roasted dry by this aura.
