Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Lion Opens His Mouth Wide

"Why?" Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow, unsure where Li Wenli’s confidence was coming from.

Strictly speaking, none of them had ever witnessed a volcanic eruption. They were all completely inexperienced in dealing with such natural disasters.

"I can sense the restraint on the Earth Fire. It’s at most a minor one, not as strong as the bountiful water veins here."

Li Wenli didn’t hide anything; he pointed at the lake that suddenly appeared under their feet: "I suspect this forest is larger than we imagined, and these forces of water and fire have been competing for years.

I’ve read an account of the North-South River in a county miscellany. It’s said there once lay a plain nearby with Earth Fire and hot springs, which nurtured countless creatures.

However, a long time ago, this place underwent serious tectonic movements, causing the seawater to flow backward from the east, and the spring water merged with seawater to form the current North-South River, while the original site ceased to exist due to the tectonic shifts."

"Are you suggesting we might have fallen on top of this former civilization?"

"Yes." Li Wenli gazed thoughtfully at the area: "Don’t you find the flora here quite peculiar? I don’t know why this area hasn’t been submerged by the river, but I’m certain that there is a fault line between it and where we are."

"So it’s like we might be on the "negative first floor"?" Bai Junjun figured out analogously.

Li Wenli nodded approvingly: "Yes, perhaps that’s the case."

"If a civilization once existed here, doesn’t that mean we might have fallen into a pile of treasure?" Bai Junjun’s eyes shone with hidden excitement.

"I can’t be sure of treasure, but to be honest, I can smell the scent of Earth Fire. If you help me obtain the Fire Spirit, I will owe you three promises in return."

He wanted the Fire Spirit, not the Fire Crystals.

It was as if she had taken the Dawn Cedar, rather than just wanting the water from the Magical Wood.

Bai Junjun could feel the fervor in Li Wenli’s eyes. Even if she refused, he would still go alone.

She understood this drive too well. She would have done everything she could to improve her Special Ability, much like the Dawn Cedar she carried with her.

Speaking of the Dawn Cedar, Bai Junjun suddenly realized it was still soaked in the stream, which now had become a river. She wondered whether the small cedarwood was still alright.

Without giving Li Wenli another thought, Bai Junjun quickly released her Special Ability to connect with Small Cedarwood.

Meanwhile, Small Cedarwood, frantically absorbing water at the bottom of the river, decided to block the signal and continue devouring nutrients in the water.

Bai Junjun felt Small Cedarwood ignoring her, so she had no choice but to use her Special Ability to reinforce the protective vegetation around the Dawn Cedar, lest any blind river creature mistake it for aquatic grass and nibble it away.

After taking care of all this, Bai Junjun finally opened her eyes.

"I agree to your terms. I’ll help you get the Fire Spirit, but you have to give the Water Spirit of this lake to Bai Lingyu," she proposed.

Li Wenli took a sharp breath. This person was a real bandit, asking for a king’s ransom!

He had just stated that this was but a minor fire, nothing compared to this pool of water, yet she was directly demanding the Water Spirit of the lake.

Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow: "For you, finding two or three more Water Spirits isn’t a big deal. Besides, if you acquire the Fire Spirit, you would have recovered the spirits of Wind, Water, and Fire, except for Earth. I don’t think it’s a losing trade."

The Spirits of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are akin to the Heaven and Earth Treasures of the world.

Like the Ginseng Essence is the best example, and Bai Junjun’s own Small Cedarwood naturally counts as one.

They just serve different purposes.
