Chapter 486: The Primal Fire Spirit's Transformation
Chapter 486: The Primal Fire Spirit's Transformation
Lu Chen, Xu, and Zhou had been working together to clear the Demon Flame Insects for almost an hour, and in the vast fiery soil, more than a hundred fire-attribute spirit plants that were in the most severe condition had returned to normal.
"Brother Lu and Brothers Xu and Zhou, you must be tired. Why don't you take a break and taste the special delicacies and spirit juice of the Fire Cloud Cave?" suggested Huo Jiu.
"We can slowly clean up the remaining spirit plants infested by the insects in the spirit fields."
"Sure, then I'll trouble Chieftain Huo to make the arrangements," Lu Xuan and the others agreed, stopping their work.
The three of them were indeed feeling a bit weary. Lu Xuan had been constantly using his spiritual sense during the process, and in order to ensure that the awakened Demon Flame Insects did not harm the spirit plants, he had to concentrate and not dare slack off even a little.
As for Zhou Yuning and the others, they had been casting exquisite ice-attribute techniques for a long time, consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and needed to rest and recuperate.
Following Huo Jiu, the group shuttled through the fiery red and crystal-like passages and eventually arrived at a spacious hall.
The hall was extravagantly decorated, paved with pale red fire-attribute crystals, with tables and chairs made of spirit wood placed around, and dozens or even hundreds of pure fiery red jade ornaments scattered about.
The group sat down in order, and young boys and girls who had long been waiting served them with spirit fruits, spirit juice, and various unique delicacies.
"Brother Lu, Brother Xu, and Sister Zhou, please don't stand on ceremony and help yourselves," Huo Lin'er said with a smile.
"These spirit beast meats are all from the various spirit beasts raised in the Fire Cloud Cave. They are tender and rich in spiritual energy, and they taste quite unique."
"And this Flow Cloud Juice is also a specialty of our Fire Cloud Cave. You must drink a few more cups, and when you leave, take a few jars with you."
Lu Xuan looked at the cup of spirit juice in his hand. The juice was fire-red, and when gently shaken, it looked like vibrant fire clouds flowing within.
"There's a Fire Cloud Spring in the Fire Cloud Cave, which used to be a treasure site within the secret realm. Although most of the treasures within have been mined, some unique features remain. The spring contains a rich and pure fire spirit power."
"After my clan acquired the Fire Cloud Cave, we placed a tamed Primal Fire Spirit in the Fire Cloud Spring. The fire spirit and the spring complement each other and promote each other."
"Influenced by the Primal Fire Spirit, the spring water in the Fire Cloud Spring becomes even purer, and long-term consumption can improve a cultivator's physique. That's why many members of my clan, including myself, have a natural talent for fire-attribute techniques."
Lu Xuan suddenly realized the reason behind Huo Lin'er's innate fire spirit body.
"So it was all that bathwater she drank..." he muttered to himself, but he obediently brought the teacup to his lips.
After taking a sip of the Flow Cloud Juice, a warm current flowed from his throat down to his limbs and bones, bringing a comfortable warmth as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
"Ah..."
Lu Xuan exhaled, and a puff of white smoke shot out from his mouth like an arrow, disappearing into the distance.
"This Flow Cloud Juice really packs a punch!" he exclaimed.
After the satisfying meal, the group sat together, tasting the unique spirit fruits of the Fire Cloud Cave and chatting about various strange events and recent developments in the cultivation world.
Suddenly, a Fire Cloud Cave cultivator rushed in and stood before Huo Jiu, looking hesitant to speak.
"Speak!" Huo Jiu urged, sensing something amiss from his expression.
"The Primal Fire Spirit in the Fire Cloud Spring suddenly went berserk, viciously attacking the clan members guarding the spring and killing six of them instantly!" the cultivator reported urgently.
"It's currently rampaging and breaking through the restrictions set up around the Fire Cloud Spring!"
"Lin'er, come with me. With your strength, you can easily suppress that Primal Fire Spirit."
His thoughts raced, and he turned to the nearby Huo Lin'er and said, grateful for the presence of this direct descendant of the Tianjian Zong clan.
"Alright!"
Hearing that six clan members had died at the hands of the Primal Fire Spirit, a grim expression crossed Huo Lin'er's youthful face.
"Lu Chen, you three stay here and continue tasting the spirit fruits. I'll be back soon."
"Sorry for interrupting your enjoyment."
He turned to Lu Chen and the others and said.
"No problem, Brother Huo. We'll come with you to take a look. If there's anything we can do to help, we'll lend a hand."
Lu Chen, Xu, and Zhou exchanged glances, and Zhou Yuning quickly spoke up.
"Great! Then thank you, fellow disciples!"
Huo Lin'er didn't hesitate either. Her bright red robe billowed with flames as she enveloped Huo Jiu and Lu Chen's group, transforming into a red light that flew towards the depths of the hall's passageway.
After a dozen or so breaths, Lu Chen arrived before a fiery red stone wall.
Through the layers of restrictions, he could vaguely make out a small lake below, its waters churning with fiery red spiritual liquid.
"Roar!"
He was drawn to the roar of a fiery giant below.
The giant stood ten zhang tall, its body engulfed in fierce flames. It clenched its fists and thrust them forward like long spears, wildly pounding against the layers of restrictions.
The restrictions trembled violently, threatening to collapse under the relentless assault of the fiery giant, but they held firm thanks to the efforts of over ten Fire Cloud Cave cultivators.
Only when Huo Lin'er and Huo Jiu appeared did the cultivators finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Release the restrictions! Let it out!"
A stern look flashed in Huo Lin'er's eyes as she ordered the others.
The cultivators heaved a collective sigh of relief and released their hold on the restrictions.
Once freed from the bindings, the fiery giant grew even larger, its body ablaze with flames. It bent its knees and leaped high, transforming into a massive fireball that soared towards the group!
"Vile beast! After raising you for so many years, you dare to kill my clan members?!"
Huo Lin'er's face twisted with rage as spiritual power surged within her. She pressed her palm downward, and a crimson palm appeared out of thin air, vast and overwhelming, blocking the fiery giant's attack.
The oppressive spiritual pressure caused the fiery currents to scorch everything around, turning it to black ash.
The fiery giant raised its hands high, holding back the crimson palm. Streams of crimson lava flowed from its body, rushing towards the massive palm.
"Still wasting your efforts!"
Huo Lin'er snorted coldly, her fingers tapping lightly. Threads of fire danced around the fiery giant, forming a massive fire net that compressed from all directions.
"Roar!"
Just as the fire net was about to bind the fiery giant, the flowing crimson lava on its body erupted like a volcanic explosion, melting the fire net's threads instantly.
In response, Huo Lin'er's bright red robe turned blood-red, and her entire body became a blood-red fireball that streaked through the air like a meteor, slamming into the fiery giant.
"Brother Xu, Sister Zhou, I'll go check on the spirit plants."
Lu Chen, seeing the sudden transformation of the Primal Fire Spirit, felt a sense of foreboding as he recalled the fire-attribute spirit plants in the spirit fields infested by the Demon Flame Insects.
