Chapter 50

"Such a petty trick, and you dare to show off in front of me! Long Chen, this is fake!"

If Lingxi weren't there, Long Chen would probably have been frightened by the sudden change. After all, the shadow of the Moon Devouring Wolf in his heart was too great. But now, he knew that the little thing was a Purple Spirit Beast, so even if it was a Moon Devouring Wolf in front of him, he would charge over directly!

The Purple Spirit Beast, seeing that Long Chen wasn't even afraid of the Moon Devouring Wolf, was so scared that it ran away with its tail between its legs. After a few steps, it revealed its true form, its fat bottom wobbling as it ran in front of Long Chen. If Lingxi hadn't told Long Chen to stay back, he could have caught up and kicked the Purple Spirit Beast away in just a breath.

With the Purple Spirit Beast leading the way, after about a quarter of an hour, Lingxi said excitedly, "Long Chen, Long Chen, I can feel it, such a rich aroma, there must be a lot of Dream Spirit Herbs!"

Lingxi was very excited, and Long Chen was naturally happy for her. However, he had another worry: as he went deeper, the temperature around him kept rising, and the black soil on the ground was starting to emit a faint red glow.

"What's going on with this Skyburning Mountain Range?"

While chasing the Purple Spirit Beast, Long Chen looked around. This pitch-black mountain range seemed to be slowly changing color.

"Whatever, I just need the Dream Spirit Herbs. The strange changes in the Skyburning Mountain Range are none of my business!"

At this moment, Lingxi suddenly let out a cry. Long Chen immediately looked up and saw a small basin in front of him. It looked like a large crater formed by a meteorite. The Purple Spirit Beast had directly darted into this crater!

Most importantly, from the deepest part of the crater, a medicinal fragrance wafted over, almost knocking Long Chen over. Upon closer inspection, the crater was filled with Dream Spirit Herbs, like a purple sea. It looked like there were hundreds of them.

Long Chen was already dazed, let alone Lingxi.

"I... I want them. Hurry, go and pick them!"

Seeing so many Dream Spirit Herbs, Lingxi didn't know how much her soul power would expand. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

Long Chen just wanted a few more Dream Spirit Herbs, but he never expected to find hundreds here. The number far exceeded his expectations, so he hesitated for a moment. When Lingxi reminded him anxiously, he rushed toward the crater like a whirlwind!

The hundreds of Dream Spirit Herbs made Long Chen almost forget that the temperature was so high that the air seemed to be filled with flames. In the center of all the Dream Spirit Herbs, a palm-sized black iron plate was trembling violently, and threads of fire were emerging from it!

As he rushed forward, Long Chen felt something was wrong. Suddenly, he saw a ball of fire ignite in the center of the Dream Spirit Herbs, bursting out and engulfing the herbs in a fierce blaze. Instantly, the hundreds of Dream Spirit Herbs were consumed by the flames.

Lingxi's face turned pale with fear. "Long Chen, there's something strange at the center of the flames, very destructive. Run!"

Seeing the Dream Spirit Herbs right in front of him, even though the flames were already spreading, Long Chen had no intention of turning back. He gritted his teeth and, as the flames grew larger and were about to engulf the herbs, he roared and transformed into his Dragon Soul form!

As he ran, the blood-red dragon scales gradually appeared on his body, and in less than a breath, he completed the transformation!

His speed increased tenfold, and with a whoosh, he appeared at the Dream Spirit Herbs. But in the next moment, the flames engulfed him completely!

"Long Chen!"

Lingxi's face turned pale in the sword.

As she called out, Long Chen was already engulfed by the flames. She was extremely tense because she didn't know how powerful the flames were.

However, in her heart, Long Chen's image was deeply etched. She knew that he could have escaped from the beginning, but he risked his life to rush into the flames to find the herbs that could prolong her life!

Not a relative, yet he was willing to sacrifice himself for her without any demands. Thinking of the possibility that Long Chen might be injured or even dead, her heart ached, and a deep sadness welled up inside her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt Long Chen move. Although the flames were fast, they spread in all directions. When Long Chen rushed in, he bent down, and the flames immediately engulfed him!

However, the Dragon Soul transformation saved him. Long Chen quickly escaped from the flames. When he finally broke free, he realized that even in his Dragon Soul form, his body was still in pain.

Fortunately, his dazzling red scales were not burned, but the towering flames still chased him at an incredible speed. He had to run without stopping, and during the run, he put the Dream Spirit Herbs he had protected with his body and arms into his spatial bag.

"Long Chen..."

Seeing Long Chen protect five Dream Spirit Herbs with his body and then escape, Lingxi felt like crying. The feeling of being cared for and loved made her, who had lost her body, feel very warm.

"Hey, really, thank you..."

"Don't thank me, if we get rich in the future, just pamper me a bit!"

Originally, she thought this boy was quite cute, but one sentence revealed his rogue nature.

At this moment, the flames that had been spreading were now engulfing the entire Skyburning Mountain Range. When Long Chen escaped from the crater, the flames had already turned into a sea of fire. Looking back, the flames were burning high and spreading like a plague!

"Lingxi, I saw an iron plate just now. These flames seem to have erupted from that iron plate. What do you think it is?"

As they left, Long Chen had already stored the Dream Spirit Herbs. With these five herbs, Lingxi's current consumption would be covered for some time, so Long Chen didn't have to worry about her survival and could focus on other things.

However, thinking of the hundreds of Dream Spirit Herbs, Long Chen felt very frustrated.

If he had been faster, he might have gotten more!

"I also felt a very strong yang energy there, at least very strong for you, but I didn't see it clearly in the rush..."

Lingxi also thought of the large number of Dream Spirit Herbs and felt very regretful. If she had obtained so many, her soul would have solidified to the state it was in before her body was destroyed.

Long Chen had already run quite far, so he could turn back and see the sea of fire still spreading across the entire Skyburning Mountain Range. Many beasts were fleeing from the Skyburning Mountain Range, creating a tragic scene.

"That iron plate must be something special to cause such a massive fire. If it continues to burn like this, the entire Skyburning Mountain Range will be engulfed in flames, truly burning to the sky!"

After a moment of standing still, the flames were about to catch up. Long Chen had already obtained enough Dream Spirit Herbs and knew he didn't need to stay in the Skyburning Mountain Range any longer, so he prepared to leave.

"That iron plate is clearly a treasure. If I could control it, there might be countless benefits. But the flames are so large, now covering a ten-mile radius. If the flames continue to intensify, the entire Skyburning Mountain Range might be filled with flames, and I won't be able to get the iron plate, only wasting time."

Thinking of this, Long Chen gave up on the iron plate. He could have obtained many Dream Spirit Herbs today, but they were destroyed by the iron plate, which he couldn't obtain, so he felt quite depressed.

Just as he was about to leave, Lingxi suddenly called out.

"Look, the flames are starting to shrink!"

Long Chen looked back and indeed saw that the towering sea of fire was now shrinking. Initially, it had expanded rapidly, but now it was shrinking quickly.

"Since there's still some time, Long Chen, why don't you go and check it out? You might find out what the iron plate is."

Lingxi spoke what Long Chen was thinking. Seeing the flames recede and having enough time to return to the Yang family, Long Chen wasn't in a hurry and turned back.

The sea of fire gradually shrank, almost returning to the large crater. Long Chen, in stealth mode, headed back to where he had found the Dream Spirit Herbs.

The expansion of the sea of fire took about two hours, and the shrinking also took about two hours. Soon, Long Chen was back at the crater, and his heart was pounding with excitement.

"Quick, hide, those two guys are here."

Long Chen was still in his Dragon Soul form. Lingxi was referring to Chen Xiongzhou and Feng Mingyang, who had obviously noticed the strange changes in the Skyburning Mountain Range.

They were here to seek treasures, and when the sea of fire appeared, they knew something valuable was there.

Long Chen didn't know if the iron plate was still dangerous, but with these two people in front, he could let them test it out. If it was a true treasure, he wouldn't hesitate to take it from them.

The flames gradually shrank, and soon Long Chen and the others were at the edge of the crater. Long Chen had noticed them, but they hadn't noticed him. When the flames completely disappeared, the two men immediately rushed into the crater!

Long Chen was about to peek out when he saw Chen Xiongzhou and Feng Mingyang fighting each other. Both looked at each other with bloodshot eyes, ready to kill each other.

Long Chen was stunned, remembering that these two had been calling each other brothers just a moment ago.

"Is the allure of this treasure really that great? Bai Sheng could betray the old man, and these two brothers could turn on each other..."
