Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2364 - 2365: Enemy?

Regarding the issue of time streams, the two didn’t ask too much. Even about the timeline Qi Chen was in, where Dou Yanlan was located, they didn’t inquire. In fact, they didn’t need Feng Yuan to say it; the two could guess what had happened.

Not asking, aside from possible ignorance from Feng Yuan, was also not wanting to understand the potential for such sorrow.

Originally, Feng Yuan’s plan was to directly head to Hot Springs Town, located on the west side of Baiman City. However, at the Hellfire Mine Pit Restaurant, they unexpectedly learned about the restaurant’s origins, leading Feng Yuan to add the Hellfire Mine Pit, a special tourist spot, to his travel plans.

The Hellfire Mine Pit is located around Baiman City; it was originally an abandoned mine pit, now transformed into a farm specializing in raising special edible animals.

Of course, besides this, a portion has been developed into a dedicated tourist attraction. What attracted Feng Yuan was not the scenery, but the special poultry raised there. Although due to production issues, it’s hardly sold outside, those who have dined at the Hellfire Mine Pit Restaurant are eligible to purchase one or two.

Feng Yuan, naturally aiming to purchase ingredients, chose to detour to the Hellfire Mine Pit.

Fierce flames continually emerge from the tunnels. Though developed into a tourist area, the Hellfire Mine Pit requires a certain level of skill from visitors. At least, visitors unable to withstand the heat cannot tour the interior of the Hellfire Mine Pit.

Although the scenic area can provide Spirit Beast protection, since they aren’t visitors’ own beasts, should an accident occur, it’s hard to ensure visitors’ safety. Therefore, the Spirit Beast protection offered is beyond the Flame Gate.

As long as one can pass through the Flame Gate on their own, the internal environment of the Hellfire Mine Pit won’t pose a significant threat.

"Need any help?"

Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and asked, among the three, Qi Chen might be the most troubled, since Ah Mu, being a Plant Spirit Beast with a Wood Attribute, naturally finds such a fiery environment uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, Qi Chen propped up a verdant barrier and said

"No problem. If we can’t handle even this environment, we’d really be letting our teacher down."

Anyone with sufficient power can ignore the high-temperature threats brought by the Flame Gate of the Hellfire Mine Pit, not to mention that they’re students from the Beast Taming Academy.

"Then let’s go~"

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan led the way into the Hellfire Mine Pit. However, they didn’t notice that where they previously stopped, a fire flower was slowly blooming.

After Feng Yuan and company leave for a while, a beautiful woman with fiery red hair walks over, bends down, plucks the fire flower, lightly touches it to her forehead, and murmurs softly

"The guidance of fate, is it him? Even though found, still unable to oppose, what an extraordinary person."

Gently crushing the fire flower, the red-haired beauty sways her hips as she walks towards the Flame Gate, without any extra moves, the flames seem to be pressed by an invisible barrier and avoid her.

The Hellfire Mine Pit got its name entirely due to the fierce flames inside. Without the protection of Spirit Beasts, ordinary people can’t enter this place.

Of course, this is also why the Hellfire Mine Pit was abandoned. Originally, there weren’t so many flames, but as they mined the internal stones, the original elemental balance was disrupted, uncontrolled fire elements ignited the mine pit causing a huge disaster, forcing the mine owners to abandon it.

After all, the mining at the Hellfire Mine Pit was in the middle of the Dynasty Era. At that time, not just anyone could be a Beastmaster, and because of this, the uncontrollable terrifying elemental fires directly rendered the people of the time unable to continue mining this pit.

Naturally, in Feng Yuan’s view, had there not been these uncontrolled flames, Baiman City might not be what it is now because the Hellfire Mine Pit is conveniently located at a special collision site.

Previously mentioned, the surroundings of Baiman City are dense with veins, not to be mined indiscriminately. If not thoroughly researched first, breaking the balance between different veins would result in serious disaster events.

The Hellfire Mine Pit is a clash point between fire attribute and earth attribute veins, thus containing a large amount of special stones. These stones, in modern times, might not be significant, but during the Dynasty Era, they were excellent materials for making weapons.

However, if the balance of this collision site was completely broken, it would directly trigger large-scale elemental chaos, and according to Feng Yuan’s estimation, more than half of Baiman City would be engulfed by lava.

"Luckily, during that period, nobody could continue exploiting this vein."

Looking at those flames, holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but lament, Dou Yanlan curiously asked Feng Yuan

"If continued mining, what would happen?"

"Balance collapse, flames and earth energy converge causing explosions, forming a strong fusion area, probably a special lava pool."

Laughing, Feng Yuan said he’s not entirely certain, but close enough, as the collisions and fusions of different elements usually have observable patterns.

One can roughly guess what might appear, and a lava lake is naturally very likely, as well as being difficult to eliminate, unless the area’s geological veins are thoroughly altered.

But achieving that requires action by Spirit Beasts with legendary-level power, otherwise, not worth the effort; building a city elsewhere may be easier.

"This... No wonder modern mining of veins is strictly regulated."

Qi Chen was startled, he hadn’t expected such a result, shrugging, Feng Yuan said

"Quite normal. Since they were unaware of these matters before, they stirred up a lot of troublesome danger zones, but this place requires extensive mining to reach that point, no wonder it’s opened as a scenic spot."

Surveying the furnace-like mine tunnel, Feng Yuan said, if the balance was already very fragile, Feng Yuan doubted they’d dare open it, else if someone takes advantage, the whole of Baiman City would be in big trouble.

Normally, breaking the balance and initiating vein collisions isn’t easy, but at certain special weak points, it’s another story.

"It’s a pity one can only buy one; it’d be great if I could buy a few more."

Recalling previous information, Feng Yuan said regretfully, he thought there’d be slightly more purchasing quota, alas, one meal only allows the purchase of one Hellfire Mine Pit chicken.

"If you really want, it’s probably not entirely impossible."

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan puzzled, given Feng Yuan’s resources, buying a few special chickens would seemingly not be difficult.

"I don’t want to be so troublesome, huh?"

With a smile, Feng Yuan said he was about to say something when he suddenly turned to look behind him, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan saw Feng Yuan’s serious look, put away their playful attitudes, and turned cautiously.

A red-haired woman was gracefully approaching them, but her aura was quite unique.

It bore the marks of battle, which perhaps ordinary people might not sense, but Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan, and Feng Yuan were all quite attuned to it.

No surprise, Feng Yuan needn’t say, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had followed Feng Yuan through so many chaotic events that they naturally couldn’t have made no progress.

"A visitor from a parallel world, and seemingly with ill intentions."

Setting down Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan eyed the red-haired woman and said coldly, Veronia waved her hand, crystal luminance stones encircling, ready to act.

"Parallel world?!"

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan stared in shock, they hadn’t expected to encounter a visitor from another timeline so soon, wait, that person...

Although quite different, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan felt the red-haired beauty seemed somehow familiar, as if someone they knew?!

"Truly unsurprising."

The red-haired beauty stopped while still some distance away from Feng Yuan and company. By looking at Feng Yuan and company’s stance, she already deduced she’d been discovered.

In that case, she didn’t bother pretending to be a tourist. Still, she wanted to try and see if the prophecy was accurate.

With a gesture, fiery red cards surrounded her, the red-haired beauty stared at Feng Yuan and said

"You are our biggest obstacle."

"Well, even though I won’t bother with your chaotic battles, knowing you came knocking, I can’t exactly back down."

Feeling the other side probably misunderstood something, Feng Yuan didn’t have the inclination to explain, as to him, her strength wasn’t remarkable.

"Let me see your abilities!"

The red-haired beauty stared at Feng Yuan with a cold smile and said.
