Chapter 305: The Skyfire Desert, a beautiful yet difficult world! (Part )
"Those are the local indigenous people. We have always lived in harmony with the local residents and lived together in the underground world." Seeing Yun Bai and the others looking around curiously, Tongtong introduced them to the underground world. Through her explanation, the people had a more concrete understanding of the living conditions here.
Due to the harsh natural conditions, except for a very few extremely talented individuals who can thrive in this land, most other creatures have an extremely difficult life.
There is only rain for three months a year in the Tianhuo Desert, and no rain falls for the other eight months. Not only that, except for the abundant fire elemental energy, the other elemental energy is so scarce that it can be ignored. The plants and animals living here have developed extraordinary survival skills, such as "dry rest" similar to animal hibernation, and plants that dig their entire plants deep into the ground and can survive even without sunlight, and symbiotic small ecosystems that are born with the ability to convert fire elemental energy into sunlight to attract other spiritual plants and animals to live nearby... Of course, this also includes underground cave dwellers. In order to survive, they have reached a harmonious balance with spiritual plants and animals. Both sides help each other instead of killing each other, so that they can survive in such a harsh environment.
"Since the living conditions here are so harsh, why don't you move to another place?" Xiaohua asked curiously, and the others looked at Tongtong with the same interest.
"That's because the fire elemental power here is very special. It is said that its energy is much stronger than that of the outside world, so the progress of cultivation here will be faster. But this fire elemental power contains a trace of fire poison. Once we leave it, we will feel extremely weak and painful. Moreover, this fire poison has been passed down through the blood of generations, which means that we will never get out of this desert." Tongtong's tone was a little sad. But she immediately calmed down, smiled sweetly at everyone, and said:
"However, I think it's pretty good here. After all, it's isolated from the world, there are no fierce fights, and there's no human intrigue. We only need to concentrate on cultivation, so there are many more people who transform into spiritual practitioners than outside!"
"Haha, that makes sense! And even if you can't go out, we can still come to see you often in the future, bring you a lot of fun things and food from outside, tell you stories about what happened outside, so that you can know what's going on in the world without leaving home!" Mu Yinghun saw a trace of loneliness hidden under Tongtong's sweet smile, he hurriedly said comforting words, and then changed the subject: "By the way, this place is really amazing, you have to take us around later!"
"No problem! It's a deal then. You have to come and play with me often in the future!" Sure enough, after hearing Mu Yinghun's words, Tongtong's big eyes lit up instantly. She jumped up and down to lead the way, looking indescribably happy.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally came out of the maze-like underground passage. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up to a huge space that was no different from the one on the ground!
"Wow! There is actually a little sun!" Yun Bai exclaimed. This place is about 3,000 meters underground, but in this space there is sunlight, white clouds, blue sky, flowers, plants and trees. If there were no special spatial fluctuations here, Yun Bai almost thought that this was the second secret treasure of the void!
"It's really magical, it's actually made up of spiritual plants, spiritual beasts and spiritual minerals!" Mu Yun stared at the small flower basking in the sun beside him and found that it was actually a scorpion-shaped insect tail!
"It's true! The sun in the sky is a cluster of golden flowers, and the clouds are petals of cotton balls!" Yun Bai also discovered these "little secrets".
"Haha, you have good eyesight! I thought these were real enough, but I didn't expect you to recognize them right away!" Just as they were looking around with curiosity, a kind voice sounded in front of them, and then several huge red leaves automatically parted, and two people appeared in front of them. These two people were a man and a woman, and the one who spoke just now should be the old woman.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt!" Tongtong and Mu Yinghun spoke happily almost at the same time and walked forward to greet them.
"Xiao Ying, long time no see! It's rare for us to have outsiders come here, let alone humans. It's great to have so many guests here at once! You must stay for a few more days!" The old man said happily. He was Mu Yinghun's great uncle, the Nine-Star Wind Rolling Ball Mu Fenghun. The old woman who just spoke was his wife, also a Nine-Star Wind Rolling Ball spiritual practitioner, Hongfeng.
Because before they came, Mu Wanhun had already greeted Mu Fenghun and his wife, saying that Mu Yinghun came here to look for spiritual objects to enhance his soul power. Yun Bai and his friends were his friends, so they could rest assured and asked him and his wife to take care of them. Most spiritual practitioners' interactions were much simpler than humans. They were either hunting each other or they were absolutely trusted clansmen. Long Qingtian revealed to Mu Wanhun that Yun Bai and his family had an important mission this time and needed the protection of the spiritual plant world. Even without Long Qingtian's instructions, just from the relationship between Yun Bai and the Wanhunmu clan, they would definitely do their best to protect them. Since Lord Shenglong had spoken, Mu Wanhun directly sent his precious grandson to go out with Yun Bai, protecting her at any time and providing all convenient conditions. Therefore, after arriving at the Skyfire Desert, Mu Fenghun and his wife would naturally entertain them warmly and do their best to be the hosts. As for what mission they had, since Mu Yinghun didn't say it, the couple wouldn't ask, which was the trust between the spiritual plant world.
Several young people chatted with the two elders for a while, talking about everything under the sun. Tongtong's eyes were full of stars, and the two elders were also very happy. As they said, this place is too closed, and they are of course happy to have so many energetic guests coming at once. During the conversation, Mu Yinghun also asked whether the fire elemental power here contains fire poison, which is harmful to them. The two elders shook their heads and told them not to worry, saying that the fire poison needs to be combined with the blood of local creatures to work, and it has no effect on outsiders. If you are still worried, you can only avoid absorbing the elemental power here, and it will not be too late to practice after you go out.
This answer made Yun Bai and the others feel relieved. Out of caution, they decided to stop absorbing the energy, but they could bring some back to study the secret of the fire poison. Unexpectedly, Mu Yun actually developed a fire poison pill. This was not a panacea, but a bomb rich in fire poison. After being detonated by special means, the fire poison would also appear, making the person hit lose his attack power in a short period of time.
Then, Mu Yinghun used the excuse that he was looking for materials to improve his soul power and said that he wanted to walk around for a while. In this way, Yun Bai and Bianhua Xiaozi could sense the fluctuations of the second Void Secret Realm as soon as possible, and they would have the hope of completing the task as soon as possible.
The next day, they set out. Under the signal of Mu Fenghun, the entire Skyfire Desert would give them the green light - as long as they did not go to the core of other tribes to dance, they would be the common guests of the creatures here. And their trip was also very smooth, and they found the location of the secret realm soon - it was in the most dangerous fire lake!
