Chapter 511: Calling
“What?” Firey cried out in surprise before leaving the tomb.
“What is it?” Himl Soan was a little worried.
“Master, I feel sothing is off.” Firey frowned and seed suspicious.
She halted to examine the surroundings. The mont before stepping out of the tomb, she heard a calling. It was as if an invisible power was pulling her back.
When she looked for it, the feeling was gone.
“Off? How so?” Himl Soan asked.
“I don’t know. I can’t explain that feeling. It’s so weird.”
Her answer made Himl Soan raise his guard.
Firey was the essence of nature and was much more acute of their surroundings than Himl Soan.
Her feelings couldn’t have gone wrong. Sothing must be happening.
Himl Soan didn’t understand though. They traveled through the magma when they first ca into the tomb, and Firey even absorbed all of it. She didn’t feel anything strange then.
“Close your eyes and integrate yourself with the environnt. Feel everything that surrounds you. See if you can find the source of that feeling.”
“Alright!” Firey closed her eyes.
She took it seriously. Although she couldn’t specify that feeling, she knew it was very important.
With her eyes closed, Firey could see sparks around her.
It wasn’t an actual fire. Rather, it was the embodint of the fire elent between heaven and earth.
Ordinary cultivators couldn’t sense it. Only Firey, the essence of nature, could connect with them. One could say that she was born from the fire elent.
“The fire elent is so dense here!” Firey cried out.
Himl Soan found it even more suspicious.
Dense?
It should be the case when they first arrived here.
Back then, it was filled with magma, and the fire elent should be thick.
However, she had absorbed the magma, and the fire elent should have disappeared, let alone feeling dense.
“Are you sure the fire elent is dense?” Himl Soan asked again.
He didn’t need to wait for an answer.
He saw the ground cracking open, and a small streak of magma flowed out.
The streak was thin and moving slowly. If Himl Soan hadn’t spotted it by accident, he wouldn’t have known its existence.
“There!” Firey opened her eyes and pointed at the crack.
She also found the source of that feeling: the magma Himl Soan had noticed.
“This shouldn’t be happening!” Himl Soan was perplexed.
Firey had absorbed the magma. Being the essence of nature, she would have drained the fire elent, too. There shouldn’t be anything left.
Moreover, this little amount of magma couldn’t contain dense fire elents.
So far, they only knew two things.
First of all, the magma had just popped up because the magma from before had been absorbed by Firey.
Secondly, there was sothing strange about the magma.
“I get it!” Himl Soan had a bold speculation that could answer his question.
“Master, what is it?”
“There’s sothing beneath that crack, and it’s connected to fire. It also created the magma you absorbed earlier. That’s why more magma is coming out.
“That thing is also where that feeling cos from. You’re the essence of nature, so anything related to fire wants to get close to you.”
Firey bead at him.
If she could feel a connection with that thing, it had to be sothing extraordinary.
The essence of nature was cherished by nature. Only sothing very special could make her raise her eyebrow.
According to Firey, she felt sothing was calling her. It ant the thing was a conscious being.
Even Himl Soan was intrigued.
“Firey, maybe this is your chance. If you can make good use of it, your future will be so promising.”
Himl Soan felt happy for Firey. It was a one-in-a-million opportunity.
“Why didn’t I feel anything before?” Firey tilted her head.
Himl Soan had taught her to ask questions when she wanted to know sothing.
“It must be because of the magma. That thing is buried deep under the surface, and the magma covers it. Now that it’s gone, the thing was calling to you. That’s why you can feel it.”
Himl Soan walked toward the magma. If he had guessed it correctly, that thing was hidden under this crack.
Firey followed him. The closer they moved toward the crack, the stronger the feeling beca.
She smiled involuntarily. That thing wanted to show it liked Firey, so she smiled before realizing it.
“Absorb the magma. We’ll go into the crack.”
“Yes!”
The magma flowed into Firey like a bird going back to its nest. Although there wasn’t a lot of it, it was much purer than the previous batch.
“The magma…”
“It’s pure, isn’t it? That’s normal. It’s made by that thing and is the essence of magma. What you absorbed earlier was the thinned-down version.”
Himl Soan seed to have predicted it.
Ever since he found out that sothing was hidden beneath them, he knew sothing like this would happen.
“Master, what should we do now?”
“We’re going into that crack to find that thing.”
He then jumped into the crack.
He couldn’t let Firey go in first without confirming that it was safe inside.
