Chen Yang and Tu Qi battled a powerful flaming tree. Despite their best efforts, their attacks couldn't damage the tree's tough vines. Realizing they needed to strike the core, Chen Yang focused his assault while Tu Qi held off the vines. Chen Yang successfully wounded the tree's core, causing magma to leak. However, the tree's dying throes sent its vines directly at Chen Yang. Tu Qi seized the opportunity to attack the core, destroying the tree and its vines, leaving them to ponder the dangers left by Fire Sun True Monarch.

"Drink some of this."

Chen Yang did not sit down to rest like Tu Qi but remained standing, once again taking out two bottles of Spirit Qi Liquid and tossing one over.

To quickly restore spiritual energy, drinking Spirit Qi Liquid is the fastest method.

"Alright."

Tu Qi smiled as he grabbed it and gulped it down.

Chen Yang did the same.

After drinking the Spirit Qi Liquid, the feeling of fatigue quickly relieved.

A feeling of comfort spread throughout the body.

"To the left."

Just as Chen Yang was about to take a break and then leave to continue exploring forward, Sun Xiaosheng from the gourd transmitted his voice again.

To the left?

Given Sun Xiaosheng’s previous performances, this time Chen Yang did not hesitate at all and immediately looked to the left.

The left is where the fire tree was located moments ago.

After the fire tree died, its massive body turned into magma, flowed into the ground, and became nourishment for other fire trees.

However, the spot where it stood left a puddle of magma from its roots, which did not dissipate.

Amidst the magma, there was a fist-sized object, resembling a stone.

That thing faintly glowed, seemingly flickering.

What is this?

Chen Yang wondered.

He immediately called Tu Qi over.

"What’s up, Brother Chen Yang?"

Having drunk the Spirit Qi Liquid, Tu Qi felt somewhat recovered and not as weak as before.

He walked over and asked.

"Look at what that is."

Chen Yang pointed at the object in the magma in front of him.

Tu Qi glanced in the direction Chen Yang pointed, immediately squinting his eyes.

"What is this thing?"

Tu Qi, whether out of bravery or instinct,

actually reached directly into the pile of magma, fished around, and pulled out the stone-like object.

This scene left Chen Yang somewhat speechless.

The secret realm is so dangerous, yet this guy daringly reached out like that.

What if the magma’s temperature was too high and injured his hand?

Fortunately, this didn’t happen.

"Warm and comfy."

Tu Qi played with it in his hand, smiling as he commented.

"Let me see." Seeing this, Chen Yang also became interested and immediately asked Tu Qi for it.

"Here." Tu Qi didn’t hesitate and handed it over to Chen Yang.

As soon as Chen Yang received it, he felt the warm sensation.

The warmth wasn’t just a surface touch but seemed to seep through the skin into his flesh, bringing comfort.

Moreover, it had traces of spiritual energy fluctuations, suggesting it wasn’t an ordinary thing.

"It does feel comfortable, but I believe this thing is more than just comfortable; it should be something valuable." After a bit of examination, Chen Yang said.

"Valuable?" Hearing this, Tu Qi became interested.

Earlier, he only thought it was curious and hadn’t considered it might be something valuable.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, he had a realization.

The earlier fire tree had formidable combat abilities. Logically, something left behind by it should be noteworthy.

"Could this be the inner core of the fire tree?" after a moment’s observation, Tu Qi speculated.

"It’s possible, but also uncertain."

Chen Yang nodded.

"We don’t understand it, but it’s definitely not something ordinary. Let’s hold onto it, and after leaving, find someone to study it," Tu Qi directly handed it back to Chen Yang.

Killing the fire tree was largely due to Chen Yang’s effort.

Besides, Chen Yang was the one who discovered this thing, so Tu Qi couldn’t keep it for himself.

Thus, he returned it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn’t say much, just nodded and quietly accepted it.

"Let’s get moving, Chen Yang. We don’t know how far this fire forest extends. Let’s not waste time," Tu Qi said.

Chen Yang nodded again, and the two continued to advance forward.

The place was indeed vast, and with the dense fire forest and the presence of pressure, it was impossible to discern direction from above.

Thus, neither knew where they were.

However, after walking for some time, they both, simultaneously heard the sounds of a battle.

"Someone’s there!"

Chen Yang was the first to react.

"Let’s go check it out," Tu Qi realized shortly afterward.

Then, the two instantly ran towards the direction of the sound.

Passing through a dense fire forest, they saw from a distance four or five people battling a fire tree.

"Aren’t those Wang Yuan’s people from Chi Yang City?" Tu Qi recognized them from afar.

Chen Yang looked closely and confirmed it was indeed them.

"It is them," Chen Yang said.

"Their pace is impressive. They came in after us and yet were ahead of us."

Tu Qi and Chen Yang immediately found a dense spot in the forest to hide, fearing being exposed.

"Wang Yuan is the City Lord of Chi Yang City, and this dwelling is near Chi Yang City, so it’s possible he already knew something about this place," Chen Yang speculated.

"That makes sense," Tu Qi nodded repeatedly and continued, "Maybe we should just follow them instead of wandering ourselves. We might actually exit the fire forest with them."

Hmm.

Chen Yang nodded lightly, remaining silent.

His eyes remained fixed on the distant battle involving Wang Yuan and his group.

They were facing a Fire Tree Spirit taller and with more vines than the one they encountered earlier.

This Fire Tree Spirit had four vines and exhibited power a whole level above the one they previously faced.

More frightening was that apart from the vines, this Fire Tree Spirit’s main body could also attack.

It spits fire and grew two arms.

Any enemy within five meters of it could face attacks from its main body.

Such a Fire Tree Spirit’s level is almost that of a late-stage Condensation powerhouse, isn’t it?

After observing, Chen Yang finally understood.

No wonder Wang Yuan’s group had such difficulty dealing with it.

Clearly, they were up against such a tough opponent.

Simultaneously, Chen Yang and Tu Qi felt a sense of relief that they hadn’t encountered such a Fire Tree Spirit earlier; otherwise, they wouldn’t have stood a chance.

This level of a Fire Tree Spirit has almost no weaknesses.

Approaching its main body was extremely difficult, and its vines were incredibly sturdy.

They couldn’t be destroyed.

Its energy source comes from underground, providing it with a continuous supply.

Under such conditions, the Fire Tree Spirit was almost invincible.

The current situation confirmed this.

Despite Wang Yuan’s formidable strength and having many experts around, they barely coped with the Fire Tree Spirit.

Strictly speaking, Wang Yuan and others were actually at a slight disadvantage.

"City Lord, what should we do? This monster’s vines are too hard, and if we keep fighting like this, we’ll eventually lose,"

Someone in their team spoke with urgency, feeling they were struggling too much.

If they continued, they would undoubtedly meet their end with no chance of success.

As the City Lord, Wang Yuan had long recognized this, though he remained silent, maintaining a stern demeanor.
