Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning-Chapter 229

After the power of the trap was neutralized, it would temporarily fall into a state of exhaustion and would not be activated again for the time being. At this moment, the array in the secret chamber was the safest. In addition, the effect of the gel in the secret chamber of the ice array would also be weakened even if it was attacked by Spiritual Energy of the same attribute.

Therefore, what Ye Chen needed to do now was to bring all the Divine Beasts except Zhurong to the ice array.

First, he had to help Goulong remove the gel that emitted the illusionary mist in the secret chamber before the effect of the Divine Descendant Body wore off. Then, he would take out the array center.

Then, he would leave the other Divine Beasts in the ice array and bring along Goulong that could solve the problem of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass exploding to the fire array, so that the secret chamber in the fire array could also be successfully removed.

He turned to look at Zhurong in the secret chamber of the fire array. It was already squatting beside the center of the array and only looked up at him.

!!

Ye Chen was no longer worried since Zhurong was fine. He quickly asked Kun Peng to bring the other mutated beasts and headed towards the ice array at extreme speed.

The situation of the ice array was slightly different from that of the fire array. Although the Spiritual Energy inside had basically dissipated, the shelter set up for the Feather Dragons was still sealed in ice.

However, that location had been reinforced with Kun Peng’s Spirit Wall Space and Little Purple’s Ice Fire Armor. Logically speaking, nothing should have happened.

Ye Chen asked the few mutated beasts to remove the ice shell at the entrance and went into the secret chamber himself.

Goulong couldn’t help but enter the secret chamber to search for the center of the array. However, it seemed to be still troubled by some of the illusionary mist and couldn’t sense the location of the center of the array successfully. It only wandered around the approximate location. It only asked when it heard the commotion outside.

“I feel like my strength has gone out of control. The duration of Spiritual Energy has been around for too long. It seems to have temporarily suppressed the power of the fire array. Is there a problem outside?”

Ye Chen looked back at the shelter. Little Purple and Monkey had already removed the ice shell. The Godly Sea Steadying Needle was focused on helping. Kun Peng also waved its wings in his direction, indicating that the protective barrier was fine. This represented the safety of the Feather Dragons.

Ye Chen guessed that the problem with the duration of the Spiritual Energy was probably because the Fire Spiritual Energy was too slow. “It should be fine,” he replied and immediately walked to the center of the array.

He saw a light blue gel cloth on the ground through the help of the Titan’s Eye. Below it was the fragment of Goulong’s Spirit Pool. It did not stir at all. It was clearly different from Zhurong’s fragment of the Spirit Pool. Goulong was a dead mutated beast and the fragment of the Spirit Pool had long been petrified.

Ye Chen no longer needed any external help with the enhancement of the Divine Descendant Body . He only attached his Spiritual Energy to his finger and displayed its sharpness. Then, he easily inserted his finger into the gel and waved his hand, successfully cutting it into two.

The illusionary mist in the secret chamber instantly dissipated.

Goulong finally got rid of the illusionary mist. It blinked and saw that the fragment of the Spirit Pool in the center of the array had already appeared in front of it. It quickly reached out its claws and pulled it out, throwing it into Ye Chen’s arms. The secret chambers around them collapsed.

“Take it. This has never been tampered with. There’s no awakened consciousness inside,” it said. “Take it as your reward. You can eat it if you want.”

Ye Chen hugged the fragment of the Spirit Pool and looked at it. Its color was blue, but there was also a faint silver color mixed in. This color didn’t seem to be the color of Goulong’s Spiritual Energy.

The Human-Faced Snakes that Goulong belonged to were a race that had transformed from the Human-Faced Birds. Their Spiritual Energy attributes were fixed to the water and earth attributes. According to the Mystic Abilities it had created, that was indeed the case. However, the color on this fragment of Spirit Pool clearly represented the color of the Wind Spiritual Energy.

“How many types of Spiritual Energy do you have?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask. Although he asked honestly, he had already clicked on the red dot above the fragment of the Spirit Pool and found the other party’s information.

Goulong’s Spiritual Energy was still of the water and earth attributes. There was nothing unusual.

“I know you have questions, but the Wind Spiritual Energy you saw is only one level of protection.” Goulong said seriously, “Go and settle the matter at the fire array now. I will tell you everything related to the Wind God later.”

Ye Chen nodded and put the fragment of the Spirit Pool into his inventory. He placed his hand on one of Goulong’s wings. After activating Extreme Speed, Goulong was brought into the fire array almost instantly.

In the secret chamber, Zhurong threw a glare at him.

“I was wondering how long it would take for you to come over! I thought you had forgotten,” it grumbled. As it spoke, it only glanced at Goulong and mostly stared into Ye Chen’s eyes.

“Well, there’s a small problem with the entrance of the shelter over there.” Ye Chen explained, “It doesn’t seem like a big problem.”

He definitely did not delay for a few seconds. The current Zhurong purely could not stand him talking too much to Goulong and started to find fault with him. “If only Kun Peng’s Spirit Wall Space could be used…” He couldn’t help but whisper.

If not for the fact that Kun Peng’s Spirit Wall Space had a range of use, Ye Chen would have wanted it to cover the entire secret chamber. It might even be able to block the Dragon Claw Grass’ perception of Spiritual Energy and use it to delay or even eliminate the explosion. Then they would not need help from these two ancient Divine Beasts.

“It can’t stop the explosion,” Goulong said. “The Dragon Claw Grass hasn’t exploded in the wall not because it didn’t receive the Spiritual Energy from the outside world. It will receive it as soon as we remove the array, and it will explode.” 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Now, it has become the most serious one.

“Where is the thing with Dragon Claw Grass that you mentioned?” It started asking key questions.

“That thing is here.” Ye Chen reached out and gestured. “From the ground to that location, there’s a stone pillar with a strengthening spell carved on it. There’s probably a lot of Dragon Claw Grass wrapped around it. There seems to be some below too.”

This was what he described according to the image he extracted from Zhurong’s memories. And now, the effect of the Titan’s Eye had yet to wear off. He could indeed see the hints of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass all over the Divine Pillar.

It was obvious that Zhurong had spent a lot of effort to find these images after he tidied those memories. After hearing Ye Chen’s description, it immediately started to add on.

“First of all, behind the trap that’s disguised as a fragment of the Spirit Pool is my real fragment of the Spirit Pool. There are indeed stone pillars from the ground to the location of the trap device. The plants that would explode are put there by people. Some of the spells on the pillars are used for reinforcement, but some are also spells that will intensify the reaction when they encounter flames or fire-type Spiritual Energy.” It said to Goulong, “What’s your method of dealing with it?”

Goulong did not say anything else. He spread his wings and soared into the sky. He approached the stone wall high above and placed his forehead on the trap device.

Ye Chen’s sharp eyes saw light blue and silver Spiritual Energy surging out of its forehead and entering the trap.

“Remove the center of the array.” Goulong’s voice sounded.

Zhurong’s restless claws immediately did as it was told.

With a loud bang, the secret chamber in the fire array collapsed. Besides that, nothing happened.
