Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Crimson Dragon
"Old dog, if I co out alive, I will slaughter you!"
At this mont, Chu Feng truly hated Steward Mu Kun to the extre. Even Luo, the Chief Steward of the Sword King Mansion, didn’t incite as much hatred as this man.
"Haha, with you, a waste who doesn’t even have sword ridians, still thinking of slaughtering ?"
Steward Mu Kun seed to have heard the funniest joke ever, and people like Ma Miao laughed along, looking at Chu Feng with eyes as if gazing at an idiot.
Full of mockery and pity.
To beco a steward of a sect, one must at least be at the cultivation level of a Middle Stage Great Sword Master. A Beginner Level Sword Master who doesn’t even have sword ridians claiming he wants to slaughter Steward Mu Kun is like an ant shouting that it wants to bite an elephant to death.
It’s simply laughable.
It’s utterly overestimating oneself.
"Chu Feng, if you co out alive, I’ll give you the chance to slaughter ! Let’s see who is better on the Life-and-Death Arena!"
"What a pity, you will probably never have that opportunity because you’re going to be burned alive in the Fiery Fla Cave, turning into a puddle of Fla Magma soon."
As he spoke, Steward Mu Kun pressed the chanical device to the limit, and the doors of the chanical Gate at the exit were completely shut.
He believed that Chu Feng would surely die inside.
Chu Feng forced himself to calm down; with the exit sealed, he had no way to escape. He could only survive by handling the situation in the Fiery Fla Cave properly.
If he couldn’t handle it well, he believed that covetous and petty Steward Mu Kun would do as he said and would certainly send Chu Yun over, and by then, Chu Yun would be burned alive as well.
This was sothing Chu Feng absolutely did not want to see.
He no longer had a choice.
As he walked deeper into the cave, Chu Feng discovered that the cave walls were marked with epitaphs left by predecessors who had been assigned the sa task as him. This happened every hundred years.
Each one of them, knowing they would surely die, left their last words.
So people’s epitaphs asked the sect to take care of their families, so cursed the sect for its heartlessness, while others protested their grievances.
Basically, those who were sent to carry out this task had committed serious cris.
Or even betrayed the sect, needing execution before being sent to this sure-to-die mission.
Since they were going to die anyway, dying for the sect could earn a sizeable compensation for their families. At the sa ti, it could atone for their cris, turning them into innocent people. Thus, many people were still willing to undertake this task.
Chu Feng carefully read through the epitaphs as he went along and found that at least more than a hundred people had left last words.
There must be others who did not leave any words behind.
This also indicated that the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had existed for over ten thousand years.
"Eh, this person is rather interesting. The epitaph left behind does not curse the sect or the like, but informs later generations of the discoveries made in the Fiery Fla Cave and so analysis and conjecture about the specific cause of the volcanic eruptions on Fiery Fla Peak."
Chu Feng found the epitaph of one person particularly interesting.
He stopped to read it in detail.
"Before my imminent death, I witnessed a Crimson Dragon bursting out from the Fla Magma, churning and causing turmoil... I estimate the centennial eruption of the Fla Magma well is related to this Crimson Dragon. If future visitors can find a way to subdue this Crimson Dragon, perhaps they need not die! A convict of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Dong Feizi offers this!"
Chu Feng, being the reincarnation of Alchemy Venerate, had seen much of the world and did not believe there would be any actual Crimson Dragon here.
If there were indeed a real Fire Dragon, that would be disastrous; probably the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, even the whole Dan State, would have turned into a sea of fire and everything would have been incinerated.
"So it seems, the centennial volcanic eruption of Crimson Fla Peak must be connected with that ’Crimson Dragon.’ I don’t have to rush to activate the chanical Door to drain the Fla Magma within the peak."
Hence, Chu Feng no longer wasted ti and quickly continued to move forward.
Soon, he reached the mouth of the volcano ahead.
Balls of boiling fla magma occasionally spurted out, and upon hitting the ground, they would imdiately emit plus of white smoke.
If those were to land on a person, they would ignite instantly.
Gazing down, Chu Feng felt an unparalleled shock. The scene was both beautiful and terrifying.
The spot he stood upon was like a cliff’s edge, with an abyss in front. Only now, the abyss was filled with the boiling fla magma, surging upwards, about to overflow from the brink.
According to the manual, this situation had reached an extrely critical point.
The volcano was about to erupt soon.
That old bastard Mu Kun must have been aware of the situation inside. He’d deliberately assigned this task to Chu Feng, intending for him to die there.
"Hmm, the Fire Spiritual Power here is incredibly dense! Once I have the sword ridians in the future and co here to cultivate, my cultivation will advance at a trendous pace!"
While Chu Feng was in awe, he also closed his eyes and deeply sensed everything within the fla magma.
His ti was running out; he had to find that ’Crimson Dragon’.
Despite being certain that the Crimson Dragon wasn’t a real Fire Dragon, Chu Feng was still unclear about what it specifically was. He had to see it with his own eyes to know for sure.
Possessing the Nine Yang Strange Fire, Chu Feng had a sense of fire that was a thousand, or even ten thousand tis sharper than that of ordinary people.
He could clearly feel where the temperature was higher and where the Fire Spiritual Power was denser within the fla magma below.
"Wow, it seems that the Crimson Dragon is hiding right over there!"
After careful sensing, Chu Feng finally located the position where the ’Crimson Dragon’ lay. It was nestled unmoving deep within the fla magma.
In that area, the Fire Spiritual Power was exceptionally dense, and the temperature was several tis higher than the surrounding areas.
Keep in mind, this is fla magma, with temperatures surpassing a thousand degrees.
To be several tis hotter than the fla magma, that Crimson Dragon was definitely not an ordinary entity.
"I wonder why it is lying dormant? All I can do right now is to wait patiently!"
After understanding the situation, Chu Feng started to examine the entire Fiery Fla Cave.
He saw that in a conspicuous place, there were chanical buttons for controlling the floodgates.
Without a doubt, pressing those chanical buttons would trigger the eruption of the fla magma. It would then be completely unleashed, and funneled into a pre-dug channel.
The place where Chu Feng was standing would also beco a sea of fire.
It might even be filled with the gushing fla magma, and only after discharging a portion of it would it flow back into the abyss.
The Sect was indeed cruel, sacrificing a living Sect disciple every hundred years.
The wait was unbearably long, and within the cave, it was extrely hot. Even with the Abnormal Fire within him, Chu Feng found it difficult to withstand.
In his boredom, he took out a page of the dicine King Scripture to study.
In fact, he had read it many tis before.
It recorded how to consu Abnormal Fire. The techniques passed down by the dicine King were indeed eye-opening for Chu Feng. The Hong Family generously offered him this page of the dicine King Scripture because nobody in their household possessed Abnormal Fire.
It was useless to them otherwise.
Splash, splash!
Suddenly, the scalding magma within the abyss began to roll violently, scaring Chu Feng into hastily retreating.
At the sa ti, he felt the Nine Yang Strange Fire within his body becoming more active than ever before, yet it seed to hold so fear as well.
