Chapter 541: Chapter 542 Denghuo Grass_1

"Hey! Don’t run so fast!"

Seeing Xiao Ji suddenly dart out, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but call out to stop him. Little Green Snake blocked Pomiti who wanted to run out after Xiao Ji and looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion. It didn’t quite understand why Xiao Ji had suddenly rushed out.

"It probably smelled something."

Feng Yuan said with a smile, and after a few steps, the view suddenly opened up. A sky-blue starry sky twinkled overhead, while below, a blue streak of starlight wrapped around a patch of water, constantly changing. The water emitted a faint yellow light for some reason, making it infinitely enchanting against the backdrop of the starlight.

"This is... so beautiful~"

Mo Ling, who had just emerged, exclaimed upon seeing all this. Everyone else came out of the hole one after another. Guo Huai’s face changed immediately upon seeing the scene in front of him. Sensing that something was amiss, Hua Yiyou said with some confusion,

"What’s wrong?"

"Those... are all Yingying Insects!"

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"What else could they be, fireflies?"

"Yingying Insects? Could they be Spirit Beasts?"

Hua Yiyou said, stroking his chin while looking at the blue starlight fluttering in the sky. Guo Huai swallowed and said,

"That’s right, Yingying Insects are best at focused fire attacks. Given their number here, once they focus fire, the attack power is certain to rise by two levels."

"It’s just an Elite Level attack, what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, they won’t do anything if you don’t provoke them."

Saying this, Feng Yuan walked forward and stretched out his hand. A small bunch of blue light separated from the fluttering bands and danced around Feng Yuan’s palm. After a while, it dispersed and scattered back into the surrounding light.

After reading the note on the information, Guo Huai’s face turned red with embarrassment and he said,

"I was making a mountain out of a molehill. They are quite docile..."

"Did you bring us here specially to see them?"

Feng Yuan looked at Mo Ling and said,

"What else~"

Blushing, Mo Ling said softly,

"Thank you..."

As if he hadn’t heard, Feng Yuan stared dreamily at the starry sky overhead. Hua Yiyou stretched out his hand and watched as the Yingying Insects danced around it, with a few even landing and staying for a while on his open palm. They seemed to realize there was nothing to eat and once again flew away.

"If the Yingying Insects are so small, then this..."

The Yingying Insects were only about the size of ordinary ladybugs, each one a tiny speck of light, and this starry sky was formed entirely by Yingying Insects. Hua Yiyou was astounded; even though they were small, this was his first time seeing so many Spirit Beasts.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing the question, the man looked up at Feng Yuan and said,

"Haven’t you noticed the rock paintings here?"

"It’s strange. Is there human activity in such a place?"

Looking around, Feng Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He knew that this place could be considered deep inside the ancient cave, and if he hadn’t had the entire map of the cave, he wouldn’t dare to venture into such an area. Getting lost in an underground cave was no joking matter.

"After all, there’s a glowing lake here, so it wouldn’t be strange to have some biological activity."

Guo Huai said this and glanced at Xiao Ji by the water,

"Doesn’t it really hate water?"

"That’s not water, that’s Liquid Energy."

"Liquid Energy?!"

Guo Huai looked at the lake, glowing with a pale yellow light, in shock. He hadn’t expected that substance to actually be energy. Seeing Xiao Ji touching it, he said in surprise,

"Is it okay to touch it directly?"

"It’s not high-energy fluid, just ordinary Fire Energy concentration liquid. It’s not as dense as a crystal, so it won’t be a problem."

"But it really does like fire... that stuff is Fire Energy in liquid form."

Yao Yin glanced at the fluffy creature on her shoulder, which remained curled up and showed no change. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It is of the Water Type, it wouldn’t like Fire Energy."

"I thought it might feel uncomfortable."

"That won’t happen. Although the energy is spilling out, it’s not intense. Otherwise, the entire cave would have scorch marks by now."

At that moment, Mo Ling, who had been observing by the man’s side for a while, said with some confusion,

"It’s so strange. If there were human activity here, how did they enter this place?"

Only the Yingying Insects were flying around here, and although there were many wild grasses by the lake that couldn’t be recognized, it was clear they weren’t something one could fill their stomach with.

Noticing those wild grasses, Guo Huai asked in amazement,

"Can wild grasses really grow in a cave? Aren’t lichens the only plants that generally grow here?"

"What if I told you they were Spiritual Medicine?"

"Spiritual Medicine?!"

Guo Huai observed the wild grasses with surprise, their broad leaves didn’t seem like something that could grow deep in a cave. However, if they were Spiritual Medicine, he found it odd that his system hadn’t provided any prompts.

"Are you fooling me? Why don’t I see any prompts?"

Doubting Feng Yuan was just tricking him, Guo Huai shrugged helplessly as Feng Yuan said,

"Can’t you just pick a leaf and see for yourself?"

Picking a leaf, Guo Huai was shocked to see the information that appeared before his eyes and said in confusion,

"Why does it only display after picking it?"

"Did you even see how many Denghuo Grasses there are here? If they were all displayed, you’d go blind."

Feng Yuan knew the item information display mechanism of Guo Huai’s system, which usually displayed information about Spiritual Medicine and Materials as well as Spirit Beasts around the object. However, it didn’t work with large patches of Spiritual Medicine and Materials. If all were displayed, Guo Huai would see a massive cluster of dense Denghuo Grass information.

Thinking about that situation, Guo Huai joked with a shiver,

"If there are too many, it only shows the one in my hand?"

"What else? You can also reset it to display everything."

"Let’s just forget about it..."

While Feng Yuan and Guo Huai talked, the man stood up, surveyed his surroundings silently for a moment, then walked toward the pale yellow glowing lake. He reached his hand out, stirred the water and said,

"If I’m not mistaken, this place must have some connection to the Zhuo Ya Clan of Yuehu Town."

"Zhuo Ya Clan?"

Mo Ling curiously watched the man, who nodded and after scanning the rock paintings said,

"I’ve seen the Zhuo Ya rock paintings. Although there’re differences, they seem to share some continuity with the ones here, and..."

While speaking, the man dipped his hand into the lake again saying,

"Their rock paintings all depict one thing—the Zhuo Ya Clan has a natural ability to manipulate fire."

"Manipulate fire?"

Mo Ling hadn’t quite grasped it yet, while Mo Li said strangely,

"If that’s the case, why aren’t they more renowned? Even if they keep a low profile, they shouldn’t be this obscure."

"Wait! A natural ability to manipulate fire? Not relying on the power of a ’Divine Lord’?"

The man smiled slightly and said,

"Indeed, I also found it strange at first, suspecting it was just an exaggeration by the ancients. But seeing this place now..."

"Aren’t you going to explain a bit?"

Guo Huai elbowed Feng Yuan and said with a mischievous grin. Glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan replied irritably,

"What’s there to explain? It’s just a bit of Fire Power, what’s so strange about that?"

"But..."

Seeing that Guo Huai didn’t catch on, Feng Yuan walked to the edge of the lake, idly stirred the water, glanced at Xiao Ji carefully pecking at the water, and held back the mischievous urge to push Xiao Ji into the lake as he explained,

"If they originated from here, having the ability to control fire isn’t strange at all. Didn’t I tell you? This is Liquid Energy. Prolonged contact with Liquid Energy is bound to cause some changes."

"Why are you glaring at me..."

Feng Yuan scratched his head in confusion when he saw Xiao Ji suddenly glare at him angrily, seemingly accusing him of something. Agunas’s spectral form looked disparagingly at Feng Yuan, flicked his tail and said,

"Do you think it can’t sense your wicked thoughts? It’s angry at you for even contemplating pushing it into the lake."

"But I haven’t done anything..."

"Aren’t you afraid it would drown... "

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan, speechless. He didn’t understand how Feng Yuan could harbor such a bizarre thought. Feng Yuan shouted back, both ashamed and angry,

"It was just a thought! Don’t you all have some diabolical ideas?! Besides, I didn’t do it, and how could Liquid Energy drown anyone? It’s not water."

"Wait a minute?! You’re saying Liquid Energy can’t drown people?"

Hua Yiyou looked at Feng Yuan in surprise. Feng Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest and said,

"Of course, is there a problem with that?"

"Of course, there is!"
