Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 126: Demon Plants Forest 5
Chapter 126: Demon Plants Forest 5
Shen Xu looked around with a thoughtful expression.
It was the fifty-sixth day since the secret realm opened.
Over the past four days, he and Zhen Yuan had encountered many fire element demon plants.
At first, they encountered a combination of fire element and other demon plants.
However, in the last day, all they had seen were fire element demon plants.
Most importantly, the surrounding temperature had gradually risen to an uncomfortable level.
Although he was a fire element cultivator and was used to high temperatures, Shen Xu still felt like he was standing in a desert under the noon soon.
Thinking of this, he turned to Zhen Yuan.
"Brother Yuan, are you okay? Can you stand the temperature?" He asked.
"Don’t worry." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the double’s hair.
"Are we close to a fire element treasure?"
"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded.
"Okay. Let’s continue after I replenish my qi."
"Go into the space. I will clean up the battlefield." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu didn’t argue.
After the double went into the space, Zhen Yuan looked around.
Shen Xu had just fought and defeated an early-stage level three fire vine.
As a result, the surrounding ground was filled with pits, broken branches, and uprooted trees.
Without delay, Zhen Yuan collected the corpse of the flame vine and other trees before leaving the area.
Less than an hour later, Shen Xu came out of the chaos flame space.
"How is your body?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu smiled while raising a thumb.
"All recovered." The double said, looking at Zhen Yuan with a curious expression.
"Brother Yuan, how long until we reach the treasure’s location?" He asked.
"Two to three days." Zhen Yuan revealed.
In the next three days, the two encountered many fire element demon plants, spiritual fruits and spirit grasses.
Overall, their harvest was not small.
However, Shen Xu couldn’t help but look forward to the treasure at the end of the road.
On the afternoon of the third day, the two finally arrived at the mouth of a cave.
"The treasure is inside." Shen Xu stated in a confident voice.
"It is." Zhen Yuan nodded.
"Should we go now?"
"I will listen to you."
When he heard that, Shen Xu fell into thought.
A moment later, he looked at Zhen Yuan with a solemn face.
"Let’s go." He said and Zhen Yuan didn’t hesitate.
Soon after, the two entered the cave.
However, the moment they entered, both froze in surprise.
"This..." Shen Xu muttered.
At the same time, Zhen Yuan turned around to look at the cave entrance.
"I didn’t notice the natural barrier around the cave." He said.
"How is that possible?" Shen Xu asked, vigorously rubbing his arms to relieve the heat.
Compared to the outside, the cave was a furnace.
Even Shen Xu could barely tolerate the high temperature.
"The fire qi in this cave is special. Use your robe to absorb it." Zhen Yuan reminded.
"Okay." Shen Xu nodded and immediately activated his robe.
At the same time, he looked around and soon gasped in surprise.
"Brother Yuan, there are so many fire element spirit grasses." He exclaimed.
"They are not just many, they are also old." Zhen Yuan smiled.
"You are right. Look at that fire gathering grass..." Shen Xu pointed and Zhen Yuan turned to look.
"It’s at least two thousand years old."
"Fire gathering grass, fire spirit grass, fire nourishing grass, fire cleansing grass, ..." The double rattled off a bunch of names.
"Let’s transplant them first." Zhen Yuan said and led Shen Xu to collect the herbs.
The cave was about one hundred square metres.
After collecting the spirit grasses, the place looked like a barren land but Shen Xu was in an extremely good mood.
"Are the spirit grasses the treasure?" He asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"This cave is just the entrance. The treasure is at another place."
"Is that true?"
"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded and pointed at a wall.
"The entrance is there. Do you want to go or rest for the night?"
"I want to go but we should rest."
At dawn the next day, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu stood before the wall.
"How should we reveal the entrance?"
"Fire qi." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu didn’t hesitate.
A moment later, he injected a strand of fire qi into the cave wall and the wall immediately disappeared.
In its place, a rough tunnel appeared.
At a glance, the tunnel sloped downwards and the two couldn’t see its other end.
However, they weren’t discouraged.
Without wasting time, they entered the tunnel and began to walk downwards.
"The spirit grasses in the cave are thousands of years old. If you think about it, no one has found this place in thousands of years." Shen Xu said and soon continued.
"It wasn’t even mentioned in the original book."
"What’s on your mind?" Zhen Yuan asked.
"Xiao Weimin has a five elements physique. As the main protagonist, how could he not find this fire element cave and treasure? Don’t you think it’s strange?"
"It’s indeed strange." Zhen Yuan agreed.
"Xiao Weimin is the child of luck. He should have been able to find the cave."
After that, the two walked in silence.
They transplanted the spirit grasses they found along the way but most of their attention was on the rising temperature.
Five days after entering the cave tunnel, the two finally saw an exit.
However, by this time, the temperature was so high that Shen Xu had to use an isolation talisman.
’I am the fire spiritual root cultivator. How come I am the one who can’t stand the temperature?’ He complained, looking at Zhen Yuan with a gloomy expression.
"My cultivation is a lot higher." Zhen Yuan said, soothingly rubbing his wife’s hair.
"You can enter the space if you can’t stand it."
"Who can’t stand it?!" The double snorted and led the way to the exit.
An incense stick later, the two left the tunnel and entered another cave.
