Chapter 545: Chapter 546 Seeking Help_1

Feng Yuan patted Xiao Ji’s little belly as it sat on the desk and propped his head with his hand, speaking with a hint of boredom,

"Your hobbies are really quite unique."

"Actually, I think those things are fine, it seems like you are the only one who doesn’t like them."

Yao Yin glanced at Feng Yuan and interjected, just then, a faint fluttering of wings could be heard from outside. Despite the subtleness of the sound, in the surrounding silence, everyone still heard it. Looking out the window, they saw a dazzling Star River extending toward their location.

"Strange, we didn’t provoke them, did we?"

Slightly puzzled, Feng Yuan stood up and drew his staff. Mo Li positioned Mo Ling behind him, and Zi Mo stood next to Mo Li, warily watching the incoming Yingying Insects.

Before long, a giant ladybug landed on the wooden platform. Seeing it was the Sun-Scorch Insect, Feng Yuan was a bit baffled. Everyone kept a wary eye on it, afraid it might suddenly attack. At this moment, Agunas’s phantom suddenly spoke,

"It seems like it needs your help for something."

With that, Agunas’s phantom floated towards the Sun-Scorch Insect. After a moment, the phantom turned to Feng Yuan and said,

"Do you remember the Liquid Energy Lake we came across?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"It seems to want your help, the Liquid Energy Lake appears to be dying."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said, confused,

"Isn’t that normal? Everything has its time to come to an end, right?"

Flicking his tail, Agunas’s phantom replied to Feng Yuan,

"Anyway, it’s hoping you can save the lake. You understand what would happen to the ecological system here without that lake."

"It would probably collapse completely, right? Although the Sun-Scorch Insects provide light, their main food source isn’t those animals. Without food, the Sun-Scorch Insects would likely leave this place."

"But is it necessary? Wouldn’t staying here be very boring?"

Agunas’s phantom seemed to be communicating with the Sun-Scorch Insect. After a while, as the insect flapped its wings as if expressing something, the phantom said,

"It says it built the ecosystem here from scratch and doesn’t want to just watch it perish."

"Then I’ll go have a look. But I need to say in advance that I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to prolong the lake’s existence, and even if I do, it has a natural end too, right? It can’t expect this fragile ecosystem to last forever, can it?"

After communicating with the Sun-Scorch Insect for a bit, Agunas’s phantom said,

"It understands that and is trying to trigger a transformation, but it takes time."

"Alright, I’ll go have a look."

Feng Yuan said as he picked up Xiao Ji, glanced at Pomiti, and addressed Little Green Snake thoughtfully,

"Could I trouble you to help look after Pomiti?"

Little Green Snake nodded at Feng Yuan with an assuring look, and Guo Huai, somewhat puzzled, asked,

"What exactly is going on with that Liquid Energy?"

"I don’t know. Liquid Energy usually doesn’t exist naturally, but there are many conditions for its formation, like plants, minerals, Crystal Stones, Formations, Spirit Beasts, and so on. I’m not sure about the situation here."

At this point, the Sun-Scorch Insect took flight and hovered in the air as if waiting for Feng Yuan to start moving. Agunas’s phantom looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"It wants you to follow it."

"Is it taking me directly to the source of the Liquid Energy Lake? That’s pretty good. Otherwise, I’d have to look for it myself, which would be too troublesome."

After a glance at the others, Feng Yuan said,

"I’ll be stepping away for a bit. If you get tired, go ahead and rest, no need to wait for me."

"Who’s going to wait for you?"

Mo Ling pursed her lips and disdainfully said, while Yao Yin smiled slightly without saying anything. Guo Huai was tempted to follow and broaden his horizons, but after some thought, he did not pursue it. At this moment, Feng Yuan turned his head to look at Guo Huai and said,

"Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to see? How about you all, don’t you want to come along?"

"Is there a problem?"

Hua Yiyou looked at Feng Yuan with some concern and asked. Guo Huai sighed and said,

"No, we don’t even have the qualifications to slow you down."

"It can’t be that bad..."

Wei Dongcheng said with some surprise, but he still followed with Bai Ling, driven by his curiosity about how the Liquid Energy Lake was formed. Hua Yiyou glanced at Mo Li, who waved his hand and said,

"Go ahead, we’ll wait here for you."

Nodding, Hua Yiyou chased after Feng Yuan and the others who had left. Mo Ling looked at Yao Yin, who was calmly sitting and sipping tea with some confusion, and asked,

"Aren’t you curious?"

"Not particularly interested. It’s almost the same to ask him when he gets back. Besides, according to the surface time, it should be deep into the night by now, right? It’s better for us to get some rest early."

Yao Yin glanced at the White Wolf Deity beside her. With it by her side, it didn’t matter where Feng Yuan went; she and the White Wolf Deity could completely protect Mo Li and his sister.

"Are we going to enter the lake again?"

"What else? Grab the rope."

Feng Yuan said without looking back. Guo Huai was conflicted; he had come to broaden his horizons, and if he couldn’t see anything, it seemed pointless to have come. Feng Yuan understood Guo Huai’s concerns and said nothing. Seeing Feng Yuan dive into the water, Guo Huai sighed and followed, grabbing the rope that was still floating on the surface.

Since he had agreed to come, even if there were no gains, he had to follow through. This was his choice, after all. But just as he grabbed the rope and submerged, Guo Huai was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to sense everything within a large area around him, especially ’seeing’ Xiao Ji happily swimming around Feng Yuan, with its fluffy feathers fluttering, which surprised Guo Huai.

"How else would you see things clearly? It would be pointless for you to come if you couldn’t see anything."

As they descended, Feng Yuan spoke, and the Yingying Insects didn’t follow into the lake, only the Sun-Scorch Insects were leading the way. As the group passed through the same entrance as before, the Sun-Scorch Insects did not stop, prompting Feng Yuan to ask with some confusion,

"Where are we going?"

Following the Sun-Scorch Insects into another entrance, the group felt the buoyancy increase again. Xiao Ji, pushed up by the sudden change in buoyancy, quickly swam towards Feng Yuan.

Seeing the clusters of crystal pillars standing on the cave walls, Guo Huai asked curiously,

"What are those crystals?"

"Solid Energy, can’t you tell?"

"Then why..."

Guo Huai reached out to touch the Solid Energy with some puzzlement, but the system gave no response. Feng Yuan said exasperatedly,

"How can your system display anything if you’re closing your eyes? The system can only display information within your field of vision, right?"

Guo Huai, embarrassed, opened his eyes. Indeed, the information for the Fire Elemental Solid Energy Crystal appeared in front of him. Yet the visuals from his eyes overlapping with what his spiritual power sensed made Guo Huai uncomfortable, and he soon closed his eyes again.

"It’s actually a plant?"

Feng Yuan said with some surprise. Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Guo Huai quickly ’looked’ around. Besides the cave walls, there was nothing else. Hua Yiyou asked with some puzzlement,

"How can you tell it’s a plant?"

"The fluctuation of energy. Only plants have this sense of deterioration; nothing else does. The energy fluctuations of inanimate objects only gradually diminish, whereas Spirit Beasts... before death, Spirit Beasts are always in peak condition."

"Does that mean we’re close?"

Guo Huai would not think that Feng Yuan had just thought of this. Feng Yuan pulled Xiao Ji, who was swimming nearby, towards him and said,

"It should be. I can already sense the fluctuations of energy; it’s very likely that it’s just ahead."

Xiao Ji, who was enjoying swimming, quickly stuck close to Feng Yuan upon hearing this. Feng Yuan smiled slightly and hugged Xiao Ji. After a while, the Sun-Scorch Insect stopped, and Feng Yuan ’looked’ at the large plant in front of him and exclaimed,

"So it’s this thing... but I should have guessed."

The few who had also sensed the gigantic plant using ’spiritual power’ were frozen in surprise. Guo Huai couldn’t help but open his eyes, and seeing the system information, he couldn’t help but shout,

"This thing can be called a plant?!"
