Chapter 85: The Core of the Red Wind Disaster
Chapter 85: The Core of the Red Wind Disaster
Red energy flowed through the air, looking like solidified wind.
This was the Red Wind Disaster, a crimson entity formed by the combination of divine power, demonic power, and the power of the Ancient Gods.
From what could be observed, it possessed a strong corrosive ability. When this red wind blew, those with insufficient strength would be eroded into red crystals.
As for the original land, it had long since turned into red crystals.
"I wonder if it can be used as an energy source." Qin Muye was currently enveloped in two layers of thick demonic power shields to resist the Red Wind Disaster.
The first layer was his own, and the second layer was from the Demonic Power Source.
The consumption was quite high, but he estimated he could last about three hours. After all, he now had a lot of demonic power.
He relied on the demonic power shields to isolate himself from the Red Wind Disaster, but the Evangelical Sprites and Tianqi were completely unaffected. To them, it was just like any ordinary wind.
Each Evangelical Sprite had linked their life force to Qin Muye, sharing the damage with him.
With this protection, even if he lost his demonic power shields, he could still survive in the Red Wind Disaster.
Based on the description provided by Moblood and others when they obtained the Divine Core area, Qin Muye and Tianqi quickly arrived at the core's depths.
Here, a vast basin had formed, covered with a large amount of red crystals.
Compared to the fragile crystals on the periphery, the red crystals at the core were extremely hard.
"Seems like it has become a new form of energy, possessing demonic power, divine power, and the power of the Ancient Gods."
Qin Muye squatted down and observed carefully. Through his Demonic Power Eye, he could clearly see that the entire basin was a massive energy source.
The entire Red Wind Disaster emanated from here.
"If it weren't for my Demonic Power Source, I might not have been able to reach this place." Qin Muye noticed that his demonic power was continuously being consumed.
"A new form of energy."
As Qin Muye delved deeper, he soon discovered a flickering flame, a vivid crimson, extremely weak. If not for his Demonic Power Eye, he might not have noticed it among the surrounding red crystals.
The crimson flame looked incredibly alluring, but in Qin Muye's vision, it seemed like a storm, continuously emitting terrifying crimson energy.
"Strange, this clearly looks like a good thing. Why didn't the mages take it away back then? And the Divine Sprout and Divine Core were also left here, so it must not be easy to deal with."
He didn't believe he was just lucky. He had relied on the Demonic Power Source to get here, and he didn't think the mages of the Divine and Silver Star Alliance wouldn't have come to investigate.
So either they didn't find it, or it appeared later, or even the gods and mages couldn't delve deep enough.
Whichever it was, it meant this thing was not to be trifled with, just like the Divine Sprout.
"When I get closer to the flame, my demonic power burns rapidly. It seems this new form of energy is hostile to demonic power."
"Not just demonic power, but elements and divine power as well. Tianqi, what do you think?"
Qin Muye gathered a lot of data and then asked Tianqi. Tianqi paused for a moment before responding, "Master, this flame is very dangerous, or rather, it's not a flame at all, but a concentration of energy. Although we don't know why it formed into a flame, it's highly likely that even the Divine Sprout couldn't move it.
"Try to stay as far away as possible, because I can sense that this flame is growing."
Qin Muye agreed with Tianqi's words. This thing was indeed very dangerous, and he was also aware of its growth. The Red Wind Plain was not originally called this. The outermost layer was red wind, the middle layer was red crystals, and the core was crimson crystals, all of which proved the expansion of the crimson flame.
From this, it was clear that this was definitely the core of the Red Wind Disaster.
The Divine Sprout should know about this, but when Moblood and the others came last time, they did not see it, indicating that they had been misled by the Divine Sprout.
At this moment, Qin Muye was in a dilemma. His primary goal was not to cure the Red Wind Disaster but to control the red wind and use it as a barrier.
Moreover, it was impossible to cure it now. The crimson flame seemed weak, but if he dared to touch it, he would become a crimson crystal statue.
Unfortunately, the Reconnaissance Skill could not investigate this thing; it could only investigate enemies. Unless this thing became his possession or was stored in his inventory, but even then, the danger would remain.
Even the Divine Sprout might not be able to touch it.
This flame was undoubtedly a true legacy of the Ancient Gods, deities, and archmages. The Divine Sprout was at most just some scraps. Otherwise, why would the Divine Sprout need to deceive Qin Muye?
Qin Muye also speculated that the Divine Sprout stayed here for the sake of the crimson flame. Otherwise, who would stay in this remote and desolate place?
With the Divine Sprout's abilities, it could gain more followers among the half-goats than it would by staying with Qin Muye.
"We can't stay away. You should understand that whether the crimson flame expands or our territory expands, conflicts are inevitable."
"So we must take the initiative. Otherwise, once the annual Red Wind Disaster occurs, it will be too late."
Qin Muye shook his head and said, if the Red Wind Disaster had erupted during the beginner phase, he wouldn't have been too worried. The crimson flame was strong, but could it be stronger than "The Lord Era"?
But now, it was different. He had already passed the beginner phase and even the adaptation phase. Therefore, once the Red Wind Disaster erupted, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
Perhaps the lords higher on the leaderboard could withstand it, but his small domain certainly couldn't. He could only use the interdimensional teleportation channel to move all the spirits out of the domain and return after the Red Wind Disaster passed. However, even if the domain buildings didn't turn into red crystals due to the red wind, they would still suffer significant damage.
This would be a huge loss.
Currently, the situation was a bit beyond Qin Muye's capabilities.
"Tianqi, let's collect some of the crimson crystals and take them back for analysis. We'll make our plans after we understand their properties better," Qin Muye said, not knowing what else to do.
If he could master this new form of energy and use it to further control the Red Wind Disaster, at least the protection aspect wouldn't be a major issue.
There would definitely be difficulties, but he had faced enough challenges already. This one more wouldn't make much of a difference.
'I hope Academic Research can help. After all, it's a talent that has been sublimated twice.'
For research, Learning Ability wouldn't be of much help, but Academic Research was more suitable.
