Chapter 1788: Chapter 1,690, strange charred corpse (second watch)
Translator: 549690339
In the depths of the Majestic Palace, in front of a magnificent glazed hall with dragons and phoenixes carved on it.
Su Yu carefully checked his travel preparations.
“Glazed heaven fire talisman”, “Traceless steps on fire”, “Golden toad fire-proof clothes”.
The place where the three flavors fire spirit was located was an extremely hot area. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close to it, so they needed to borrow some external objects.
Princess ru Chen was very efficient. In a short day, not only did she prepare the resources, but she also prepared a group of elite teams to assist Su Yu in hunting the three flavoured fire spirit.
“Young master Su, this is the team that will follow you. This is the team leader, BI he tu.”Princess ru Chen brought a team of three from somewhere.
The leader was a burly man wearing black armor with a black iron blade at his waist.
His shoulders were wide and his back was broad. He was very burly.
His entire body emitted an extraordinary aura of a half-step emperor.
The other two were a man and a woman.
The woman’s figure was graceful, but her beauty was average.
The Man’s face was white and beardless. He was exceptionally handsome.
Both of them were not old and were roughly the same age as Su Yu. What was valuable was that their cultivations were not low and were at the level of a peak overlord.
“Greetings, Princess.”The three of them stepped forward to greet her.
Princess ru Cheng nodded her chin. “You must assist young master Su on this trip and take down the three flavors fire spirit in one fell swoop. Don’t make any mistakes, understand?”
“Yes!”The three of them looked at Su Yu.
The black-armored man was still fine, and his expression did not change. The white-faced young man, on the other hand, threw a slight smile.
The graceful woman frowned slightly, and there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
She and the white-faced young man were both young elites that princess ru Chen had secretly recruited over the years. Now that they had received the transfer order, they were going to help the other person hunt down the three flavors fire spirit.
What she was very dissatisfied with was that the person she was going to help was actually princess ru Chen’s newly recruited advisor.
Now that they had met, she realized that the other party’s cultivation was not even comparable to hers, so she was naturally unconvinced.
In terms of cultivation, she was above the other party, so how could she be willing to work for Su Yu?
“Then let’s set off.”Princess Ru Chen gave the three of them the same fire-repelling materials and used the teleportation array that the imperial family treasured to directly arrive at the fiefdom.
They appeared at the heavily guarded Imperial envoy embassy.
The imperial family had an imperial envoy in each fiefdom who was responsible for the communication between the imperial family and the fiefdom.
The imperial family’s dedicated teleportation array was located here.
The imperial envoy, he yun, sensed that there was something wrong with the imperial family’s array formation and stood respectfully in front of it.
When the four of them appeared, the imperial envoy, he yun, sized them up and asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”
The armored man did not say a word. He took out a platinum token from his waist and said, “We have received orders from princess ru Chen to do a special task. Let them out quickly!”
The imperial envoy, He Yun, had a slight change in expression. He immediately ordered the guards to release the array formation and let them out.
The four of them did not say anything. They rushed out of the embassy and disappeared into the horizon.
The imperial envoy He Yun’s gaze turned slightly as he secretly crushed a jade slip.
The local imperial residence.
A dignified middle-aged man dressed in a sparrow robe was in the secret room checking the injuries of a slightly pale-faced woman.
Suddenly, his heart moved slightly. He glanced at the jade slip on his waist and his expression darkened.
“Father, is this news about Imperial envoy he yun?”The woman turned around and asked.
The bird-robed middle-aged man nodded. “That’s right. He said that the imperial family has sent another group of mysterious people to Beixin fief.”
The woman’s face was filled with worry. “Could it be that the imperial family has discovered the loss of Beixin Royal Cauldron?”
If Su Yu was here, he would definitely be familiar with her. This woman was Bei Wangzhu.
And the middle-aged man in the Sparrow Robe was the current Beixin King.
Unfortunately, the place where the three flavors fire spirit appeared was the beixin fief.
“There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. It is only a matter of time before the royal family finds out. However, what is worrying is that we have not made sufficient preparations.”The middle-aged man in the Sparrow Robe had a gloomy expression on his face.
Ever since the loss of the Wang Cauldron, the Beixin lineage knew that a great disaster was coming.
Once the royal family found out, they would either abolish their cultivation or, at worst, confiscate their family and behead them.
When they learned that the person who stole the king’s Cauldron had a double crown emperor and a corpse race background, the higher-ups of Beixin’s lineage came to an agreement.
The entire clan had fled the imperial dynasty!
All these years, they had been secretly preparing to escape at any time.
Now that they heard that the royal family had sent an unknown force into Beixin’s fief twice, how could they not be nervous?
Beixin Feng King took out a bronze mirror and pointed at it. He shouted in a deep voice, “Inform the elders to get rid of this group of people. Don’t let any of them escape!”
Beiwang Zhu’s expression changed. “What if they are not investigating Wang Ding? Wouldn’t that alert the enemy?”
Shaking his head, beixin feng king said, “There’s no other way. We can only gamble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Beiwang Zhu’s expression changed. He bit his lips tightly, and a strange redness hung on his cheeks.
His eyes were watery, and he gradually lost his mind.
King beixin’s expression was gloomy. “It’s starting again?”
The young girl nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Father, save me…”
King Beixin’s eyes revealed a fierce look. “This is a curse unique to the corpse race. Ordinary methods are useless. It seems that you have no choice but to go to the imperial city and enter that place!”
..
Mount Ziluo.
This was the third largest volcano in Emperor Yu’s dynasty. Just the diameter of the volcano alone was more than ten thousand li.
The underground magma covered an area of millions of Li.
The thick steam blotted out the sky and covered the Sun. It was a dusky yellow.
Xiu —
Four rays of divine light cut through the dusky sky and landed at the crater of the volcano.
The armored man stared at the volcano that was about to erupt below. His expression changed and he shouted, “Get ready. We are about to enter the volcano.”
The three people behind him immediately put on their fire-proof clothes and fire-repelling shoes and jumped into the volcano together.
The scorching fire aura surged over. When it landed on the fire-proof clothes of the golden toad, it was deflected. Only a small amount of the fire aura affected them.
This thing was indeed magical!
After falling for tens of thousands of feet, a human-sized cave that had been scorched by the lava suddenly appeared on the wall of the volcano.
“It’s inside!”The armored man compared the information he got and his eyes were burning. He stepped into the cave in a flash.
The white-faced man and the slim woman followed closely behind, while Su Yu was at the back.
He looked at the boiling lava below, which looked like a lake. Some fire-type creatures that could be seen with the naked eye were swimming inside.
Many of their auras were not weak, and there were even peak emperors.
Along the way, he always had a question. As the third largest volcano, there should be cultivators who captured fire-type creatures all year round.
Why hadn’t anyone discovered the three flavors fire spirit for hundreds of years, yet it was suddenly discovered recently?
“Your Excellency, it’s better not to be a burden. Mount Zi Luo is full of danger. Staying here for even a second is dangerous.”The slim woman turned her head and said unhappily.
Su Yu came back to his senses and turned around to follow her.
The cave was zigzagging, and it meandered into the depths of the underground. The deeper they went, the higher the temperature and the hotter it became.
As they stepped on the ground, sizzling sounds could be heard as white smoke rose up from the ground. Even though there were no traces of their footsteps, they could still feel the burning pain under their feet.
When they reached the end, the ground caved in as layers of lava seeped out.
Suddenly, Su Yu’s expression changed and he immediately halted his steps.
Through the eye of insight, he saw two charred corpses deep in the tunnel.
“Be careful!”The armored man’s eyes narrowed as he waved his hand to stop the group.
The slim woman was shocked. “What’s going on?”
“There’s a situation ahead. Everyone, be on alert.”
Divine light immediately surged from the surface of their bodies as they cautiously moved forward.
At the turn, two charred bodies appeared in front of them.
The clothes on their bodies were completely destroyed, and it was impossible to tell which faction they belonged to.
The armored man squatted down to examine them and frowned. “When they were alive, their cultivation level should have been at the peak overlord level. Their bones were only thirty years old, and they died from powerful fire attribute attacks.”
The pupils of the white-faced young man and the slim woman constricted. A peak overlord who was not even thirty years old, wasn’t he a young genius who was even more talented than them?
The second half of the sentence made them even more vigilant.
Dying from a fire attribute attack made them immediately realize something.
The armored man stood up, his expression much more solemn. “It looks like the first prince sent a group of people. From the way he died, it’s most likely the work of that three tastes fire spirit.”
Their expressions became much more solemn.
No matter how strong the fire spirit was, it was still an emperor level existence.
“It might not have been the fire spirit.”Su Yu observed for a long time.
The slim woman chuckled. “What do you have in mind, Young Master Su?”
The sarcasm and ridicule in her words could not be clearer. Su Yu acted as if he had not heard it and could not be bothered to argue.
This was not the first time this woman picked up needles along the way. She seemed to have a deep prejudice against him.
The armored man looked over seriously. Just now, Su Yu had discovered two corpses before him, and he had seen all the subtle movements.
“Fellow Daoist SU, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Su Yu looked at the charred corpse, took out a small sword, and slashed at the charred corpse.
With a puff, the charred corpse split into two, and a large amount of black smoke shot out from it.
The armored man’s expression changed. “Protect the surface of the body. It’s a poison barrier!”
The three of them stared at the corpse in shock, their expressions constantly changing.
They had never heard of the three flavours fire spirit being skilled in poison arts!
Clearly, the cause of their deaths was man-made.
“There’s an unknown force lurking in the shadows. We must be even more careful.”The armored man looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu pondered for a moment. “Everyone is here for my business. Why Don’t you let me lead the way? Moreover, I’m proficient in some ocular arts, so my perception of danger might be even sharper.”
The armored man pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “Then you be careful. If anything happens to you, it will be difficult for us to answer to Princess Ru Chen.”
The white-faced young man smiled and gave a friendly expression.
The slender woman’s brows furrowed. “HMPH! We should have done this a long time ago!”
Shrugging his shoulders, Su Yu did not mind and led the group forward.
Not long after, they reached their limits. The fire-proof clothing and the golden toad on their bodies began to show signs of damage.
Seeing that they were about to reach their limit, Su Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Found it!”
After a turn, a lava lake appeared in front of them.
In the Lava Lake stood a pitch-black reef.
On the reef lay a crystal that looked like a fox. Sensing that a creature was approaching, the crystal hurriedly crawled toward the lava lake.
However, it moved very slowly, even slower than a turtle.
This thing was the three flavors fire spirit. It was a spiritual martial art that was born from fire essence, and its intelligence was extremely low.
It had the cultivation of a natural emperor, but it didn’t have any actual combat experience.
The white-faced young man and the slim woman’s faces lit up. Princess ru Chen had told them that if they found the three flavors fire spirit, they would be rewarded with a true emperor rank divine weapon.
If anyone caught it, they would be rewarded with another one.
The two understood each other and shot out like sharp swords, trying to catch the three flavours fire spirit.
“Stop!”Su Yu’s face changed and warned.
