Chapter 469 - 469 The Earth Dragon Will Flip
469 The Earth Dragon Will Flip
“Come with me,” the Fire Tribe Patriarch sighed.
Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng and saw that he was not moving at all. Dong Xi frowned. Her strong curiosity made him pull Su Cheng’s arm and follow behind the Fire Tribe Patriarch.
Su Cheng was pulled by Dong Xi, so he naturally looked at Dong Xi’s hand. He was slightly stunned, and Su Cheng followed suit.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch brought the two of them to the inner room and stood in front of the wall. The Fire Tribe Patriarch’s walking stick was made of some unknown material. He tapped lightly on it, and the fire net spread out along the walking stick.
When the wall was covered with fire nets, the Fire Tribe Patriarch put away his walking stick.
At this moment, the wall suddenly disappeared, and lava appeared in front of everyone.
Dong Xi instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, faintly suspecting that they had already reached the core of the earth.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch looked at the lava in front of him and said, “This is the lava under the volcano. Before long, the earth dragon will flip and the volcano will collapse.”
When people said that an earth dragon is flipping, it meant that there is an earthquake.
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before saying, “The earth dragon will flip? How do you know what will happen in the future?”
Dong Xi had just finished speaking when Su Cheng, who was at the side, said indifferently, “Prophet?”
The Fire Tribe Patriarch looked at Su Cheng with a gratified expression. He said, “You’re really knowledgeable. As expected of a Senior, you actually know my identity.”
Dong Xi was very curious about the identity of the Prophet. What did the Prophet know? How did he know? How was it different from that fortune-teller? Also, was the Prophet’s prediction of the future 100 percent accurate?
Even if she had a stomach full of questions, Dong Xi knew that she could not say anything now. She could only endure it and slowly ask the Big Snake when she returned.
“Since you know that staying here will result in such an outcome, why didn’t you leave?” Dong Xi asked.
Dong Xi guessed that perhaps the Fire Tribe wanted Su Cheng to do something.
“If I could leave, I would have taken everyone away long ago,” said the Fire Tribe Patriarch.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch pointed at the lava and said, “The Teleportation Formation is under the lava.”
Upon hearing this, Dong Xi said in confusion, “If you can bathe in lava, why can’t you go over?”
“This old man has made a lot of preparations to bring everyone away,” the Fire Tribe Patriarch said. “The Fire God’s Blessing is only to increase everyone’s tolerance towards the fire element. However, the lava is extremely deep. We don’t even know where the Teleportation Formation is. If we continue to act rashly, we might not be able to withstand it before we find it.”
Dong Xi was even more confused when she heard this. From what the Fire Tribe Patriarch said, it meant that the ancestor of the Fire Tribe had harmed his descendants.
If the Teleportation Formation was placed in the lava, who could pass through?
After a while, the Fire Tribe Patriarch explained to the two of them. He said, “When the Fire Tribe first arrived here, they brought a lot of resources and were very strong. However, as time passed, the treasures they brought were slowly used up. The cultivation of the people reached a bottleneck overnight. No matter how much they cultivated, they couldn’t make any progress. The reason why they placed the Teleportation Array so deep was to prevent the younger generation from leaving as they pleased and to defend against external enemies. No one expected it to become like this. As the ancestors with high cultivation passed away one by one, we Juniors still can’t go up in cultivation…”
When Dong Xi heard these words, she slowly understood.
“So, you want me to take you out?” Su Cheng asked.
The Fire Tribe Patriarch’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “If Senior can take us out, my Fire Tribe is willing to pay any price.”
Su Cheng thought for a moment and said,” It’s not impossible. Let my subordinates first.”
The Fire Tribe Patriarch transmitted his voice, asking his clansmen to let them go.
Su Cheng suggested that the Fire Tribe Patriarch prepare a room for them and help them escape in three days.
When only Su Cheng and Dong Xi were left in the room, Dong Xi whispered, “Big Snake, are you sure you can leave this place? The lava was bottomless… Don’t you need to go down and take a look?”
Su Cheng shook his head and waved his hand. He took out a comb and placed it in Dong Xi’s hand. Su Cheng said, “Comb my hair.”
Dong Xi was forced to accept.
The wood spiritual energy was attached to the comb, and every time he combed it, Su Cheng enjoyed it.
Dong Xi saw Su Cheng squinting his eyes and enjoying himself. Dong Xi wanted to pluck a few strands of hair off his head.
However, when she saw Su Cheng’s beautiful hair, she could not bring herself to do it.
Dong Xi said while combing his hair, “Big Snake, are you really not going to take a look?”
Dong Xi knew that the snake’s cultivation was strong, but she still felt that it was a little too much to agree to such a thing!
