Without answering Chen Jiu's question, the withered tree root stared at the flame in shock, "Did you bring this flame down from the Flaming Mountain?"
"That's right, it's my flame!" The flame jumped proudly and taunted, "Root, if you're not convinced, you can fight with me again!"
"There's no need for that. I'm a petrified tree root. Even though I've gained spirituality, I still have a strong wood attribute. Your flames can restrain me. I'm no match for you!" The tree root's voice was hoarse, but it was clear that it knew its limits.
"I see!" Chen Jiu suddenly understood and asked, "Now that you've lost to us, can we pass through your territory?"
"Yes, but can you take me with you?" Unexpectedly, the tree root took the initiative to ask to be taken away.
"Oh? You really want to go with us? "Chen Jiu was happy, but he did not understand.
"Yes, my cultivation has stagnated here, and it's impossible for me to advance any further. I'm willing to go with you and fight for you. You just need to let me stay with the flame!" The tree root was not without conditions. He wanted to train himself, especially when he was restrained by the flame.
"That's not a problem. But I don't have any space for you on me." Chen Jiu pretended to be in a difficult position.
"The journey is difficult. It'll be easier if you lean on me!" As the tree root spoke, it transformed into a dragon-headed walking stick and stood in front of Chen Jiu's hand.
"Okay, although it's a little rough, at least it can be used!" Chen Jiu did not stand on ceremony. He took the walking stick and smiled, "What should I call you?"
"I'm called Ku Si!" The walking stick replied seriously.
"What? Ku Si, Ku Si, that's too inauspicious. I think I'll call you Ku in the future! "Chen Jiu gave the tree root a stare and changed its name.
"Okay, whatever!" These non-living spirits did not have any requirements for names.
"Alright, let's continue our journey!" Chen Jiu waved his hand and led everyone forward with the help of his crutches. He was looking forward to seeing what special monsters they would be able to tame.
Although the demons here were not in human form, they were very strong and very simple. In Chen Jiu's understanding, they were very nice. As long as you promised them some benefits, they would follow you. It was really convenient for him to fill up the gap in his force!
"Husband, will the Great Ancestor be unhappy when he finds out that we're collecting demons like this?" As Loy walked, she looked at her shoulders and Chen Jiu's hands, as well as the large black dogs' hands. She felt a little embarrassed that they were dragging and grabbing.
"Yi-er, you're wrong. What's my relationship with Grandmaster Hong? We grew up from the same mother. We're closer than brothers. His things are all mine. I'm just taking a few things out to help. It's the same as taking my own things! "Chen Jiu did not treat her as an outsider.
"Husband, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, I won't follow you!" Loy suddenly became angry. "If I do as you say, I'll have to call you Martial Uncle, right?"
Chen Jiu saw Loy turn around and quickly changed his words. "If you want to call me that … you can't just blindly call me that!"
"Hmph, then what should I call you? You're born from the same mother as my master …" Loy deliberately made things difficult again.
"Yi-er, I was just bluffing. Don't take it to heart. That's not what I meant. I just think that rather than taking Grandmaster Hong's things, it's more like a test reward he left for us!" As Chen Jiu explained, his heart was moved as he said, "Think about it, how could an ordinary person have the opportunity to enter the Hongmeng School? Not only have we entered, but we've also obtained many opportunities without being suppressed by that old man. Don't all of this make it clear?"
"That … makes sense. But what if my master is in seclusion?" Loy clearly agreed, but she was still worried.
"Ai, Grandmaster Hong is an Overgod. Do you think he'll be interested in something like that?" Chen Jiu rolled his eyes, but he also gave Luo Yi a reassuring pill and said, "How about this, Yi'er, I promise you, if Hong Zu is not willing to give us these things, then I will return them to you, right?"
"Really? You're not lying to me? "Loy immediately rejoiced.
"Of course. When have I ever gone back on my words? Hurry up and come with me!" Chen Jiu promised. Only then did Loy let go of the guilt in her heart.
"Wait for me. My body hasn't fully recovered yet!" Loy walked slowly. It wasn't that she didn't want to walk, but that she had just recovered from being petrified. Her body wasn't used to it yet!
Without the Withered Root's hindrance, the cracked ground was no longer endless. Soon, Chen Jiu and the others saw the light at the end of the path. They were shocked.
Sizzle … Dazzling divine light shone. The next area that welcomed Chen Jiu and the others was filled with a powerful aura of light, just like that of a nation!
"What kind of place is that?" Chen Jiu couldn't help but lower his head and ask.
"The Platinum Area. It has the strongest barrier in the world. Only by breaking the barrier can we pass through this place!" Ku explained. He was clearly afraid.
"Oh? Have you passed through this place before? "Chen Jiu immediately realized something.
"Yes, but I can't pass through it!" Ku admitted hoarsely.
"Don't worry. This time, I will bring you through this place in a matter of seconds!" Chen Jiu comforted Ku as he strode forward in high spirits.
Sizzle … After crossing the dry lake, Chen Jiu and the others stepped into a golden area. They saw endless mountains of gold and silver!
"Wow, mountains of gold and silver. This is a boundless wealth that only exists in legends. I can't believe I actually found it!" Chen Jiu was born on Earth, so he had a special fondness for gold and silver. When he saw the endless mountains of gold and silver, he was even more shocked than when he was in Dao Mountain.
There was not a single ordinary stone in the continuous mountain range. It was as if they were all made of gold and silver. They emitted a cold and noble light, causing people to feel a sense of inferiority in front of them and want to kneel down and worship them!
Could this be the origin of the worship of gold? When there was an accumulation of gold and silver, would it really make people want to worship it?
Loy didn't have as many thoughts as Chen Jiu. She was just curious about the appearance of the mountains. "Why does the golden mountain emit a white light?"
"This is a light beam made of metal that is extremely pure. It's called platinum for short!" Ku explained kindly. However, it was like pouring cold water on Chen Jiu's head.
