Chapter 220: Chapter 221: Black Flame Flood Dragon

It’s actually Luo Huan!

Ye Qingchen still remembered.

That day he had taken on an escort mission to Blood Dark Mountain at the Martial Arts Arena, and the issuer was Luo Huan. She had even given him a Jade Pendant, saying that if Ye Qing needed help, he could go to the Vast Sea Sect to find her.

But later on,

Ye Qing’s injuries healed, and Ye Qingchen forgot about this matter.

Yet she had never expected to see Luo Huan here.

”Luo Huan, do you know this bastard?” The arrogant young man’s face was exceptionally gloomy.

”Indeed, he’s my friend! Back in the Cyan Continent, he helped me a lot! Wei Ziping, you’d better be more respectful with your words,” Luo Huan’s voice turned cold, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Cyan Continent?

This young man actually came from the Cyan Continent?

This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Cyan Continent, and one has to traverse most of the Dark Forest. But looking at this young man with such an ethereal aura and unsteady steps, how is this possible?

”Ye Qingchen, how did you get here?”

Luo Huan couldn’t help but ask.

”I was planning to cross the Dark Forest to the Abyssal Valley, but got lost here for two days, and heard the sounds of fighting nearby...” Ye Qingchen skipped some details, only mentioning his lost predicament.

After all,

The events that transpired within Taotian Palace were too horrifying.

Even if he spoke of it, the other party might not believe.

”Abyssal Valley? You’re planning to go there?” Luo Huan was secretly shocked.

You must know,

Abyssal Valley and the Dark Forest are located on the eastern and western sides of the Tongxuan Continent, respectively, meaning Ye Qingchen would have to cross almost the entire continent. Furthermore, the perilous nature of Abyssal Valley is several times higher than the Dark Forest.

But seeing Ye Qingchen unwilling to say more, Luo Huan thought for a moment and said, ”How about this, you join us and I’ll take you out of the Dark Forest.”

”Luo Huan, this kid is only at the Profound Pill First Heaven, and his aura is so ethereal, he definitely relies on external forces to boost his power. If you bring him into the team, he’ll definitely drag us down!”

The previously cold Wei Ziping said.

”Indeed, we’re going to hunt the Black Flame Flood Dragon; bringing him along, he won’t even know how he dies!”

”Right, he’s just here to ask for directions, just let him leave!”

The others also showed faint disdain in their eyes.

”Luo Huan, it seems I’m not welcome here, I shall take my leave!”

Ye Qingchen cupped his hands and was about to leave.

”Ye Qingchen, wait a moment!” Luo Huan hurriedly called out, went over, and grabbed Ye Qingchen’s hand, then coldly stared at Wei Ziping, scolding, ”Wei Ziping, don’t go too far! I warn you, if you say such things again, you can just leave!”

”Luo Huan, you...”

Wei Ziping’s face suddenly darkened; he never expected Luo Huan would reprimand him for the sake of Ye Qingchen.

He shot a deep, venomous glance at Ye Qingchen, but ultimately suppressed it.

Subsequently,

Luo Huan turned to Ye Qingchen, and whispered, ”Ye Qingchen, you helped me before in Blood Dark Mountain, consider this my return gift. After exiting the Dark Forest, I can take you to Xingyue City; there’s a quick way to reach the Abyssal Valley from there!”

Saying that, she looked at him pleadingly.

Ye Qingchen initially wanted to refuse.

But Luo Huan’s words stirred his heart.

After all,

No matter how fast he was, it would take at least a month to traverse the entire Tongxuan Continent.

”Alright!... Cough, cough, cough...”

Ye Qingchen was speaking when he suddenly had a bout of intense coughing, even spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Luo Huan was shocked, ”Ye Qingchen, you’re injured?”

”Indeed, I sustained some internal injuries earlier that haven’t healed yet.” Ye Qingchen wiped the blood off his mouth, smiling lightly, ”Don’t worry, let’s set off!”

Luo Huan’s eyes filled with worry, but seeing Ye Qingchen’s insistence, she nodded.

This scene, however, made Wei Ziping and the others even more disdainful.

You must know,

The path Ye Qingchen took was one with the fewest and weakest mystical creatures in the Dark Forest.

Yet even so, he was so heavily injured, utterly pathetic.

”What a waste, I doubt his Profound Pill First Heaven cultivation was gained through his own efforts, probably through pills or other means!”

Another young man mocked.

”Exactly, those creatures aren’t strong at all, and he’s this badly hurt, just a waste!”

Wei Ziping coldly watched Ye Qingchen.

Especially seeing Luo Huan so close to Ye Qingchen, his mood soured.

But they didn’t know,

After his fight with Mu Shanhe in Nameless Valley, Ye Qingchen hadn’t tended to his injuries, still dragging around his battered body, giving the appearance of unsteady aura.

As for the creatures in the Dark Forest, they couldn’t harm Ye Qingchen in the slightest!

However,

After this interlude, Wei Ziping and the others became increasingly dissatisfied with Ye Qingchen.

Currently,

The team headed deeper into the Dark Forest.

In their conversations,

Ye Qingchen learned why Luo Huan and her group were here.

As it turned out, Luo Huan came this time for the Black Flame Flood Dragon. The Gall of the Black Flame Flood Dragon is a crucial ingredient in crafting the ’Flame Heaven Pill,’ and Wei Ziping and his group were assisting Luo Huan with this task.

”You mentioned the Black Flame Flood Dragon?”

Ye Qingchen suddenly lit up.

”Yes, why?” Luo Huan asked, puzzled.

”Truly, heaven is helping me!”

Ye Qingchen rejoiced silently.

You must know,

The Black Flame Flood Dragon is a mystical creature, a treasure in itself.

Not only can its Gall be used in alchemy and medicine, but even its heart has healing properties. If combined with some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he could craft a ’Heart Dragon Pill’ and quickly recover.

After all,

In his current state, even reaching the Abyssal Valley might not save Ye Qing.

Ye Qingchen quickly looked at Luo Huan, ”I want the Black Flame Flood Dragon’s heart, can you give it to me...”

”Certainly!”

Luo Huan smiled sweetly.

After only a half day’s travel, the group arrived at the territory of the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

”Is it here?”

Ye Qingchen squinted, observing this land of the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

Here lay a vast lake.

However, within the lake was not water, but lava, spanning dozens of miles. The ground around the lake was pitch black, full of scorched rocks.

Within the enormous magma pool, waves of scorching heat radiated forth.

As Ye Qingchen was observing the magma pool,

A sudden mighty sound of water erupted, and a massive silhouette, several Zhang long, akin to a swimming fish, burst forth from the lava, trailing blazing flames like a fiery dragon descending.

Ye Qingchen quickly looked.

The silhouette was unmistakably the Black Flame Flood Dragon!
