Mysterious Diagram
Perhaps none of the ancient clans would have thought that the first level wasn't actually a complete grassland!
Long Chen made a rough estimation. Everyone appeared on the east side, and there was also a door to the second level on the east side.
At this moment, he was in the north. Judging from the current situation, there must be different scenes on both sides compared to the southwest.
With the Haotian Bell in hand, Long Chen slowly walked towards the pitch-black withered trees.
It was as if this place had been corroded by a flowing fire. Everywhere it passed, everything was charred black. Even the air was filled with a dry aura. Only the withered yellow leaves beneath his feet did not fit in with such a scene. Instead, it gave off a strange feeling.
After walking for several kilometers, Long Chen frowned. This place seemed too ordinary.
Long Chen tried to put away the Haotian Bell and continued forward.
However, this time, Long Chen had only walked three meters when the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open. The charred dead wood from all directions actually grabbed at Long Chen like ghost claws.
Whoosh!
Long Chen's facial expression changed drastically. Numerous branches of dead wood swept past his body and actually cut open a wound so deep that his bones could be seen!
Weng!
The bell rang again. The moment the Haotian Bell appeared, everything returned to normal.
Long Chen panted heavily as he looked at the withered trees around him that seemed as if they had never moved before. He felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Divine light flickered all over his body, and the wounds instantly healed. If he hadn't condensed his Body of Great Path, those wounds would have been enough to take away half of his life.
"In the eastern grasslands, there are mechanical beasts appearing every ten meters, and in this area of dead trees, there are countless dead trees attacking from all directions every three meters …" Long Chen muttered to himself.
In comparison, this place was far more dangerous than the grassland. After all, once one entered this place, the charred and withered trees were everywhere. It was like a forest.
Long Chen did not dare to remove the Haotian Bell again. He could only rush forward and try to find a different place.
The Haotian Bell was hidden in the ground under the door to the second floor. It looked very simple, but the Divine Mountain had opened countless times. Only the Gilded Rats in his previous life had accidentally run into it.
Otherwise, with the door to the second level right in front of them, who would be looking for the so-called treasure below him?
If this place was still like this, then Long Chen could only return empty-handed.
However, just as Long Chen was feeling disappointed, the Strange Flame Beast on his left arm cried out, "Dou Dou … Dou Dou!"
Long Chen suddenly stopped and moved his right hand. The Strange Fire Beast nimbly jumped onto his shoulder.
The little guy's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't stop drooling.
"What did you find?" Long Chen tried to ask.
Little Doudou jumped up and down on Long Chen's shoulder. His short little paws pointed to the distance, and then he started jumping and shouting.
Long Chen's feet moved quickly, heading in the direction pointed by the Strange Fire Beast.
However, there was still an endless forest of withered trees in front of him, and the withered trees around him were even denser. Long Chen believed that if he were to remove the Haotian Bell now, he would be torn to pieces in an instant!
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, the Strange Fire Beast on Long Chen's shoulder seemed to be unable to wait any longer. It jumped out of Long Chen's body.
Its palm-sized body was as fast as lightning. Countless withered trees that seemed to have come alive were set ablaze and turned into ice shards, falling to the ground.
Seeing the Strange Fire Beast like this, Long Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, and two words appeared in his mind: Strange Fire!
The only thing that could make Strange Fire Beasts crazy was Strange Fire.
Strange Fire Beasts were the nemesis of all Strange Fires in the world. They survived by devouring Strange Fires. In a way, Strange Fire Beasts were even a type of Strange Fire.
Ka Ka Ka …
Countless withered trees in front of them turned into ice crystals, covering the entire withered yellow ground.
Long Chen held onto the Haotian Bell and followed closely behind.
The Strange Fire Beast, whose body was formed by the Icy Blue Flame, seemed to be unstoppable here.
Dou Dou, Dou Dou!
When Long Chen chased after the Strange Fire Beast, he saw that it was hugging a ball of flame that was as black as ink. The flame was surrounded by a terrifying aura of death …
Seeing that the Strange Fire Beast was about to swallow it in one gulp, Long Chen's mind moved, and he quickly shouted, "Wait!"
The Strange Fire Beast and Long Chen's heart were connected. Long Chen's mind moved, and the Strange Fire Beast immediately stopped. However, its small mouth was still opening and closing, and its small face was extremely aggrieved.
Long Chen's heart softened when he saw this scene. He smiled bitterly and said, "Let me take a look at this thing first. If it's useless, I'll give it to you to eat. It's not too late …"
Unfortunately, even though he said so, the Strange Fire Beast's small hand still held onto this ball of black flame, unwilling to let go. Its pair of large eyes stared at Long Chen pitifully.
Long Chen simply did not take it, and directly covered it with his Divine Sense to observe.
"This is … the Ghost Fire of the Dead Wood, ranked 151st on the Strange Fire Ranking!" Long Chen suddenly realized.
Every Strange Fire's Divine Sense would have a unique mark. In his previous life, there were people who specifically recorded it in the Realm of Heaven. Therefore, when Long Chen saw the center of the Strange Fire, he immediately knew the origin of this fire.
However, he could not help but laugh, because this fire did not have the slightest trace of Divine Sense.
Logically speaking, Strange Fires were innate creatures. This fire could turn this vast area into such a scene, and it must have existed for a long time. It was very likely that it had existed at the same time as the Sacred Mountain. It should have almost no less than a human's Divine Sense.
However, it did not. It could be said that this Strange Fire only had the shape of a Strange Fire, and it could never grow again.
Of course, this was not the reason why Long Chen was excited. The reason why he was excited was because of the formation pattern carved in the flame!
This pattern was the way to open the sixth level of the Sacred Mountain …
Now, it seemed that Long Chen's guess was not wrong. This first level, which everyone thought was useless to stop the weak, actually hid the way to go to the next few levels of the Sacred Mountain!
"Okay, little guy … eat!" Long Chen looked at the pair of pitiful big eyes and waved his hand with a bitter smile.
The Strange Fire Beast hugged the black flame and swallowed it, as if it was a child who was chewing on cotton candy.
However, it was eating the Strange Fire that was ranked on the Strange Fire Ranking.
After the beast swallowed the Ghost Fire of the Dead Wood, the second of the seven colored feathers on its neck suddenly lit up, and its small body grew a little.
Then, it climbed onto Long Chen's shoulder again and patted its small belly with a look of enjoyment.
Long Chen shook his head and smiled. He held the Haotian Bell in his hand and walked to the other side.
Although the Strange Fire Beast was reborn, its consciousness was erased by Long Chen. Now, the child-like Strange Fire Beast was actually the consciousness of the Icy Blue Flame.
