"What exactly happened last night? Tell me," Xiao Chen sent a voice projection, feeling suspicious as he looked at the bone dragon remains all over the ground.
Wang Yuzhu looked around and whispered, "Last night, a group of bone dragons went berserk and charged at Yi Ling's tent. The pressure on us half-step Emperor Wu's was much lower."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. Since it was directed at Yi Ling, that meant that it was not because of his Azure Dragon Martial Spirit.
Could it be that Yi Ling has something on him? Otherwise, how could he attract so much hatred? Or perhaps, as a Dragon Slayer, this fellow naturally attracted the hatred of the Dragon Race.
However, Xiao Chen was more concerned about another problem. As he looked at Yi Ling, who was discussing matters in the distance, he asked, "Did he make a move?"
"No. That group of Emperor Wu thinks very highly of him and immediately protected him."
Xiao Chen's eyes flickered as he entered deep thought. Then, he said, "Stay closer to me for the rest of the journey. This operation is probably as you said. We are probably just sacrificial pawns in their hands. They probably do not intend to let us return alive. "
"Are you confident of escaping from Emperor Wu's hands?" Wang Yuzhu asked in disbelief.
Xiao Chen did not elaborate. "Just follow me. When the time comes, you will naturally know that I never do things rashly. Enough talk. Yi Ling's group is coming. "
Yi Ling and the red-haired Emperor Wu came over. Then, they gathered the group of half-step Emperor Wu's and started to give instructions.
"The desolate plain of fire is filled with fire-attributed Dragon Race ferocious beasts. You all work together to scout the way. Do not split up. We will take care of you from behind, ensuring your safety."
Old Hong originally wanted to say something to let Xiao Chen take the lead. However, when he thought about the sharpness in this fellow's eyes, he swallowed back the words in his stomach.
I'll let you be cocky for now. When we reach our destination, I will destroy you first.
After entering this dragon grave, the half-step Emperor Wu's no longer had much say. They could only follow the other party's instructions.
The seven of them walked together and started to scout the path on the Barren Plains of Fire, giving the Emperor Wu some time to catch up.
However, there were also benefits to this. The seven people walking in front would occasionally discover some divine material ores on this desolate plain of fire. In the outside world, these ores would be considered rare items.
Even if the red-haired Emperor Wu and the others were envious, they wouldn't have the nerve to ask for it from this group of people.
Of the group, Xiao Chen gained the most. He could not do anything about it. Last night, he had used his Heavenly Eye to memorize all the precious ores along the way.
After every battle, he would find something good in a corner that no one would notice.
"Peak Grade Scorching Flame Crystal. Ye Chen, you discovered it again."
After another battle, Xiao Chen found a Blazing Flame Crystal in a pile of lava. Such a crystal was of great help to cultivators who cultivated fire-attributed Cultivation Techniques. Even Emperor Wu could use it.
It was not just the half-step Emperor Wu's that felt envious. Even the red-haired Emperor Wu and the others had a strange look in their eyes.
This masked youth's luck is extraordinarily good, the Emperor Wu's thought.
After the other Emperor Wu's took a look, he no longer paid attention to them. After all, they had agreed that Xiao Chen would be the first to discover it.
Only Old Hong's eyes lit up with greed. After a long time, Old Hong reluctantly looked away. However, the seed of greed had already been planted in his heart.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not care too much about it. These were just appetizers. If they were not lightning-attributed energy gems, no matter how valuable they were, they would not truly interest Xiao Chen.
What Xiao Chen truly cared about was the suspected Heptagold Origin. This was the greatest temptation for Xiao Chen.
Although there was a Heptagold Origin among the treasures that the Thunder King left behind, there was only one piece, less than fifty kilograms. In Xiao Chen's opinion, the Lunar Shadow Saber would not become a Divine Weapon. However, once it became a Divine Weapon, it would have to be qualified to become a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
Xiao Chen's goal was to gather at least five hundred kilograms of Heptagold Origin and nine lightning-attributed Demonic Cores of Emperor Wu.
When Xiao Chen looked around, the lava pool where the Heptagold Origin was located was about ten kilometers ahead. Whether it was the Heptagold Origin or not would be clear soon.
After resting, the half-step Emperor Wu's regrouped and started scouting again.
Soon, the group passed the blazing lava pool. Xiao Chen started to feel anxious. This place was unexpectedly smooth. There were no ferocious beasts. Without ferocious beasts, there would be no fighting.
If there was no fighting, Xiao Chen would not have a chance to fish up that Heptagold Origin amid the chaos.
If Xiao Chen suddenly went to a lava pool and fished up a Heptagold Origin, anyone would be able to tell that something was wrong.
What should I do?
Xiao Chen felt very anxious. If he could not think of a solution, he would have to pass by and miss out on this opportunity.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the group was about to pass the lava pool, Xiao Chen suddenly called out, stopping everyone.
"What's going on? Ye Chen, did you discover a Dragon Race ferocious beast?" Yi Ling asked, feeling suspicious. The other half-step Emperor Wu's felt confused as well.
If there was no chance, they could only create one for themselves. They absolutely could not miss out on the Heptagold Origin.
Xiao Chen maintained his calm and nodded. "That lava pool in front seems somewhat strange. However, I do not dare to be certain."
A ferocious light flashed in Old Hong's eyes. He immediately said, "In that case, you go over and take a look. We'll watch you from behind."
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. I was just waiting for you to say that. However, on the surface, he still revealed a displeased expression.
"Let me do it. I also find this lava pool somewhat strange."
Just as Xiao Chen was about to step forward, the red-haired Emperor Wu noticed the displeased expression in Xiao Chen's eyes. Then, as if trying to resolve the conflict between the two, he suddenly spoke up.
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He had not expected such an accident to happen at such a crucial moment.
This pretense was a little overboard. How was Xiao Chen supposed to respond? Could it be that he had to watch as the red-haired Emperor Wu obtained the Heptagold Origin right before his eyes?
Xiao Chen's expression turned somewhat stiff. Although he quickly recovered, it did not escape the red-haired Emperor Wu's eyes.
The red-haired Emperor Wu walked over to Xiao Chen's side and smiled. "Your eyes are pretty good. Now, I'm really curious about your identity under that mask. However, there is no need for you to make a move this time. I'll do it myself. There is no need to thank me. There is still a long way to go. I do not wish to see you and Old Hong clash forever. "
Xiao Chen felt depressed and speechless in his heart. You did not make a move several times when it was extremely dangerous. Instead, you came here to play the good guy at the crucial moment. Aside from the Heptagold Origin, what danger could there be in this lava pool?
However, even though Xiao Chen cursed in his heart, he could only smile embarrassedly and say, "Thank you, Senior."
Old Hong appeared somewhat embarrassed. He had not expected the red-haired Emperor Wu to step forward at this moment.
The red-haired Emperor Wu walked forward step by step. Soon, he arrived before the lava pool. Then, he looked at the vast pool of lava with a stern expression.
The molten lava bubbled and bubbled non-stop. Every time a bubble popped, the residue that shot out gave off horrifying 'chi chi' sounds in the air.
Xiao Chen's heart leaped to his throat. Originally, he wanted to use the Life Bestowal Spell to create a diversion and then fish out the Heptagold Origin during the chaos. Who could have expected the red-haired Emperor Wu to suddenly charge over?
"You hid pretty well. If I were not standing so close, you might have dodged it. Come out!"
The red-haired Emperor Wu roared ferociously. Emperor Wu's Second Heaven Martial Emperor's Might spread out, causing ripples to appear in the air.
Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart. He quickly circulated his ruler's tyrannical aura to resist this aura. This was Xiao Chen's first time seeing the red-haired Emperor Wu make a move. He had not expected his aura to be so strong.
However, could there really be some danger in this lava pool?
Just as Xiao Chen was feeling doubtful, an overwhelming wave surged out of the lava pool. It was like all the lava was flipped upside down, revealing a bottomless black hole on the plain.
Before Xiao Chen could be shocked, he saw a fiery-red dragon flame quickly flying towards the red-haired Emperor Wu. Everywhere it passed, the air instantly burned to nothing, turning everything pitch-black. It was unknown how high the temperature was.
Faintly, a ripple could be seen in space, and the world around them began to shake.
That dragon flame was not simple at all!
An expression of lingering fear flashed on Xiao Chen's face. If he had really charged forward, he would have died already. What kind of monster was hidden in this lava?
The few half-step Emperor Wu retreated in a fluster. This level of battle was no longer something they could interfere with. Old Hong and the others behind showed grave expressions. They circulated their Primordial Energy, preparing to help at any time.
As he retreated, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had to find that piece of ore that he suspected to be the Heptagold Origin.
Sweeping his gaze around, Xiao Chen looked at the rising waves of lava in the sky. Indeed, he found a strange golden rock in the lava that had already floated into the sky.
Upon closer inspection, it looked very much like the Heptagold Origin that he had seen before.
Coincidentally, everyone's gazes were focused on the deep pit in the ground and the mysterious monster. No one paid attention to the sky.
However, before Xiao Chen could show any joy on his face, the golden Heptagold Origin was submerged in the lava. Then, it crashed to the ground along with the lava, nowhere to be found.
Xiao Chen panicked and looked around. However, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find it.
"Bang!"
Before Xiao Chen could think too much, a massive head poked out of the deep pit. There was a snake crown on its head. This was actually a Flame Serpent Dragon.
The Flame Serpent Dragon was one of the most dangerous monsters in this desolate plain of fire. Its strength rivaled that of a First Heaven Martial Emperor Emperor Wu. Furthermore, it had the geographical advantage here, and its strength still needed to increase.
"Whoosh!" The Flame Serpent Dragon shot up. Unexpectedly, it passed by the red-haired Emperor Wu and charged at Yi Ling.
The four Emperor Wu guarding Yi Ling did not panic. They all stepped forward and shielded Yi Ling. Working together, they forced the Flame Serpent Dragon back.
"Beast, die!"
The red-haired Emperor Wu took advantage of this opportunity to attack. He threw a palm strike, and two layers of fiery rings appeared behind him, dyeing the sky red for five kilometers around.
The five Emperor Wu surrounded the Flame Serpent Dragon and beat it while it was down, not giving it a chance to turn the situation around.
