Chapter 2382 - 2383: Frost Dew Mushroom Cave
Earth, fire, water, merely observing reveals three different attributes of Earth Vein; this place doesn’t seem so simple.
Veronia pondered quietly, but did not voice her thoughts; Feng Yuan definitely sensed this matter, and what about Uncle Man?
Although he worked for Hot Springs Town, his role meant he wouldn’t know too many secrets. Asking him might yield unexpected gains, but there’s also a good chance you’d come up empty handed.
For Divine Beasts, even if space move isn’t their attribute, executing it poses no issues. Of course, that’s under normal circumstances; in extreme environments, Space Series Divine Beasts are more suitable.
However, this region is essentially a normal environment, and the distance of the Space Jump isn’t long, so Veronia easily transported Feng Yuan and the others across.
Uncle Man knew about Frost Dew Mushroom Cave but had never seen it firsthand due to the challenging Stone Bamboo Forest outside. Yet upon arriving, he found himself at a loss.
Ahead, mist rose with a cool temperature, and if not for the ground below, it could be a great place to cool off, especially since they just passed by the scorching Lake of Fire.
But looking down reveals the ground here is cracked, with numerous chasms cleaving the cave surface, even many footholds resemble fragile stone columns that might collapse at any moment.
The water doesn’t flow to the bottom; instead, it moves in midair, like streams overhead. Below the water net within the chasms, fiery energy can be seen quietly flowing.
That’s clearly this area’s powerful Fire Attribute Earth Vein Energy; a considerable accumulation of this energy, even manifesting physically.
"It’s quite dangerous; those fire energies are highly intense, even a Fluffy Fire Wolfhound would be severely injured encountering it."
Veronia spoke, looking at the flames deep within the chasms. Despite the distance and being blocked by the floating water net, no one dared claim the net could bear their weight.
"It’s really dangerous, but it doesn’t impact much. These remaining stone pillars are high-density Earth System energy, as long as they aren’t blasted with an Ultimate Move, there’ll be no issues."
Feng Yuan laughed, leaping to the nearest stone pillar above. Seeing him land steadily without the pillar moving, Uncle Man breathed a slight sigh of relief yet watched the stone pillar cluster nervously.
To continue, they must traverse the stone pillars, which are terribly precarious; misstepping could mean doom.
Unlike Feng Yuan, who could fly, Uncle Man hesitated to proceed, even contemplating stopping Feng Yuan’s advance.
"Veronia, could you help? Bring him over."
Glancing at Uncle Man, Feng Yuan instantly understood his intention. Hot Springs Town staff likely don’t have flying Spirit Beasts; they’re not needed.
As for raising one just in case? Preposterous, keeping Spirit Beasts costs money, unless totally disregarding them and leaving them to roam; something not even Feng Yuan would do.
Even Big Cat and the others avoided burdening Feng Yuan with too much trouble, not seeking too many things from him, partly due to Big Cat’s ability to earn money.
Nonetheless, they need Spiritual Medicine and Materials, especially those unbuyable ones, which Feng Yuan assists them in finding.
It’s a Beastmaster’s responsibility, unavoidable regardless of who they are. Thus, ordinary people typically don’t raise many Spirit Beasts unless for specific purposes, like Cotton Orchid Manor.
Flying Spiritual Beasts don’t hold much meaning for Hot Springs Town personnel; Baiman City is nearby, and traveling back and forth doesn’t require flying Spirit Beasts. For other places?
Not to mention troublesome flight permits, traveling elsewhere generally doesn’t consider using flying Spirit Beasts, except in particular cities.
Veronia understood, and with a small gesture, influenced by her Telekinesis, Uncle Man floated up. Amid his terror, Veronia brought him to the opposite side.
Feng Yuan, however, didn’t do the same. Bounding along the stone pillars, Fluffy Fire Wolfhound quickly passed through the dense chasm network.
At the end, while cracks remained, they were unlike the previous large gaps.
Deep within those cracks, there was no firelight, although nearby, as if two different worlds; one side with wide, deep cracks and fire spreading at the base, the other with gaps as small as fists to as wide as watermelons.
Even here, bursts of coldness emerged.
"Elemental Energy activity is quite high, though it seems common in this area."
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan lacked investigative intent. Although the terrain was peculiar, it wasn’t too rare, lacking traps or conspiracies.
Frost Dew Mushrooms grew in the cave, contrary to Feng Yuan’s expectation of ground growth; these translucent mushrooms protruded from rock wall crevices, emitting a faint chill glow.
The pale blue microwaves, albeit single in strength, once amassed, illuminated the area.
Flooweries curiously watched the humans and Spirit Beasts intruding their lair. Though sparsely visited, humans were not unfamiliar to them.
Daily, they followed passages to Deepwater Cave, naturally encountering humans. However, humans rarely appeared here.
Spirit Beasts resembling jellyfish floated beside Feng Yuan, slowly hovering around him, and the pale blue light of the cave paired with the massive chasm’s flames behind seemed to evoke a deep sea illusion.
Indeed, even now, there was a sense of being submerged deep at sea, akin to lava flowing underwater.
Especially the bubbles floating in the cave signifying abundance of Water Energy, making it hard to discern actual depth beneath the sea.
"Quite interesting indeed."
Studying this unique environment, Feng Yuan remarked and sought Veronia.
"Can I borrow your phone? Seems a great place for photography ~"
Feng Yuan wore swimming trunks, unable to bring his own phone. Anticipating the uniqueness of this place was unexpected, not calling Big Cat and the others, hence lacking his device.
Upon hearing him, Veronia scoffed, tossed him a camera, responding:
"How about this?"
"Haha~ Thanks!"
Seizing the camera, Feng Yuan gleefully gathered Xiao Ji and others, preparing for pictures with Flooweries, even inviting Uncle Man for group shots.
Nevertheless, to avoid increasing workload, Uncle Man reminded Feng Yuan not to upload photos online, or at least not reveal the location.
Feng Yuan gladly agreed, knowing the complexity of this place, making tourism development nearly impossible. Not even Cha Mu Town folks would dare attempt it.
The fiery chasm beneath poses fatal risks to regular people.
The presence of such dangers ensured tourists wouldn’t be allowed to approach, or accident prospects would soar uncontrollably.
Feng Yuan didn’t linger long; post-photography, he retraced his steps with Fluffy Fire Wolfhound. Passing the cave entrance, they shivered, vowing not to be so curious next time.
Elsewhere, noticing Feng Yuan gone for a while, Qi Chen grew concerned, given the numerous odd events recently.
Is Feng Yuan facing trouble here too?
Could it be another attack by time stream descendants?
While contemplating seeking a lifeguard, Feng Yuan emerged from the lifeguard shack, reprimanding Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, easing Qi Chen slightly.
"Huh? What are they scheming up now?"
Perplexed, Feng Yuan sensed the wandering vast energy outside Deepwater Cave, controlled, yet Hot Springs Town hadn’t announced any major performances?
