Sword Among Us Chapter 609 - Amazing Foresight

Chapter 609: Amazing Foresight

All-powerful Medicinal Stone did not expect that Phantasmal Shadow would have a treasure such as Fire Evasion Pearl and that she would even bring it out without hesitation to share with Mu Clan. He was a little shocked.

But since they had already noticed that there were other mechanisms, All-powerful Medicinal Stone could only send a signal to Happy through his eyes in hopes that Happy would reject it.

The hidden mechanism might point them to where Sky Demon Secret Cave truly lied, and he did not want Happy to go through the fiery path with Phantasmal Shadow, because it might be a trap that led to death!

“Tower Master Shadow, you’re a generous person, and I admire that about you, but we just noticed that this road might not lead to Sky Demon Secret Cave. Why don’t we look at the other path first before we make our decision?”

Happy’s words caught All-powerful Medicinal Stone by surprise. After hearing them though, he could only dig through the incredibly hidden hole in the corner of the wall with great resignation.

Rumble…

A stone door suddenly revealed itself near the entrance that led to the heart of the mountain filled with flames. A bone-chilling cold came from inside, and it instantly drove away the heat that came from the heart of the mountain by its side.

The group was astonished, and the players looked at each other at a loss.

“I knew it. There’s really another tunnel.”

Phantasmal Shadow frowned. The tunnel to the left was a world of fire, and the tunnel to the right was a world full of ice. One of them was of extreme heat, and the other extreme cold. Both looked incredibly dangerous.

The people from Mu Clan did not expect that the second tunnel would also be filled with danger. Even though it did not seem very dangerous, the threats that could not be seen with the naked eye were even more terrifying.

They would need to use up a continuous stream of qi to be able to last in the heart of the volcano, but the world of snow would affect the mobility of those who entered it, and their strength would be greatly reduced.

No one would quite guess what would happen on either side. They did not know which side would lead to the real entrance of Sky Demon Secret Cave…

“Medicinal Stone, did you manage to get some clues of the place?”

Little North had gained a deeper level of understanding toward All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s abilities, and he had even grown a little reliant on him.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone just smiled wanly. “I understand mechanisms and traps, yes, but not Fengshui.”

“Fengshui?”

When he heard that noun, Silver Wolf gasped softly and looked at Wind Chimes.

Wind Chimes was an expert at that! Diviners all delved into Fengshui.

She scrunched up her nose and moved up to observe the place for a while with sparkling eyes, but soon, she shook her head.

“They’re really strange. Both are equally dangerous. One of them is of extreme heat, and the other extreme cold, and neither seem to head to Sky Demon Secret Cave, but they also seem to lead there. It’s a very strange design. I can’t decipher anything from it.”

“Since we can’t see what’s going on outside, we can only go in to take a look and understand the situation!”

“Wait.”

At that moment, Phantasmal Shadow went next to Happy. She lowered her whip before she suddenly sent it toward a stone nearby. It wrapped around the stone, and tossed it violently into the world of ice.

The group fixed their eyes on that stone.

In the beginning, only some frost covered the surface of the stone, but it soon froze up. Then, it crashed into a wall, but got stuck there and did not fall.

“What a terrifying chill!”

The group could tell what was strange about it, and they noticed that the seemingly harmless world of ice seemed to be even more terrifying than the world of flames. It could freeze a thing over without a single sound.

And if a stone could be frozen in an instant, what would happen to humans if they entered?

“Let’s go over there.”

Phantasmal Shadow took out a fire red pearl from her Universe Bag and handed it to Happy.

“To show my sincerity, I will let you take care of this. But once we leave this place, please return it to me…” she said in a manner devoid of all pretense.

Happy said nothing. He quietly took the pearl and nodded.

‘Phantasmal Shadow… she’s really amazing!’

With just one Fire Evasion Pearl, she connected Wind a.s.sault Tower and Mu Clan together. At the very least, during the trip around Sky Demon Secret Cave, they could be considered to be in the same party.

After Happy accepted the Fire Evasion Pearl, not only could he not attack the people from Wind a.s.sault Tower, he would also have to provide them with help as any other party members.

But he had to admit, without a Fire Evasion Pearl, his situation would be quite troublesome.

Because he was the only one with Nine Yang Divine Skill.

He had no suitable reason for entering Qilin Cave alone, and he could not reveal the secret of being someone who returned to the past. That was something that was rather troublesome.

Phantasmal Shadow’s Fire Evasion Pearl was warm in Happy’s hands, but he could clearly feel the heat around him decreasing, as if all of it had been blocked off by an invisible force. It was a very strange feeling.

“Ha… the temperature seems to be dropping…”

“Ack! So cold!”

When the heatwave from Qilin Cave was forced back into the cave, the chill from the other side instantly became stronger! The group could clearly notice the true qi in their Dantian region begin showing signs of freezing over, and it was becoming difficult for some of them to circulate their true qi, while the circulation speed of others slowed down by a large degree.

“d.a.m.n it.”

“That side seems to be a lot more dangerous.”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s expression was very unpleasant. He had been thinking of having Phantasmal Shadow and her party enter the fire cave first before he activated the mechanism to the other tunnel. But by the looks of it now, it seemed like the situation in the ice cave was worse.

The others felt the same way.

“We shouldn’t waste time. Let’s go! We’ll enter the cave!” Happy announced with a stern expression.

Once he finished speaking, he became the first to enter the fiery Qilin Cave. The others entered behind him in pairs.

With Fire Evasion Pearl around, while the heat in the cave was still as scorching as before and the air suffocating, a circle that allowed them to avoid the fire had formed around them. The twelve people were all within the circle, protected by the Fire Evasion Pearl.

“What is that?”

Just when the group went through the first tunnel, Little North noticed a black plant above his head. There seemed to be something that resembled black lotus seeds hanging off them, and there was a faint fragrance in the air that made it less suffocating and unbearable.

The group stopped and looked at it, and Phantasmal Shadow’s eyes lit up.

“It’s Black Jade Fire Lotus! I heard that it only grows in volcanoes that are extremely hot. It’s a rare grade one medicinal herb. I didn’t expect that it can be found here.”

“A hot volcano? Didn’t we say that this is manmade? Why would it grow here?” Wu Kuo’s unintentional words made everyone’s expression turn solemn.

Except for Happy.

“We press onward.”

Without another word, he picked the medicinal herb and split it in half. By chance, Mu Clan got three and Wind a.s.sault Tower also got three.

Grade one medicinal herbs were incredibly valuable resources regardless of the present or the future. Their selling price was also very high.

The group continued to move forward. After walking for nearly ten minutes, the temperature finally became slightly lower.

The walls and ground also became normal.

“The temperature dropped.”

Wu Kuo walked to the edge and extended his hand to sense the temperature around them. Once he was certain that the heat would not damage their bodies, delight appeared on his face.

The party explored the area, and once they were certain that Wu Kuo had not made a wrong judgment, they instantly left the protection circle to look around freely.

Among them, the most proactive was All-powerful Medicinal Stone. His interest toward Sky Demon Secret Cave had become stronger, and he wanted to immediately find the secret that would lead them to the real Sky Demon Secret Cave.

Happy was not excited though and just asked Wind Chimes, “Help me make a reading on Song Yuanqiao precise location.”

When he said that, Phantasmal Shadow and the others quickly exchanged a surprised gaze.

They could not send messenger pigeons in Sky Demon Secret Cave, but Happy seemed to have predicted it a long time ago and made a lot of preparations. He brought with him all sorts of talented people and put together many things, so much so that he could have a diviner make a reading in Sky Demon Secret Cave and tell him what he wanted to know.

It was no wonder then why he was so confident while traveling through the place!
