Chapter 269: Twin Red Pagoda and Disk

The black wings were absorbing the light within the valley that was already scarce. It felt like an ink-colored ripple that was devouring the light in the air.
Before Lin Yuan received the attacks from the trio, he had constantly been cautious and on guard. Then now, the trio was truly caught unprepared by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan flapped the four black wings and stood on the palm that lifted him above the sea of sand. The palm had been blasted by the attacks earlier and was only left with the middle finger. Lin Yuan stood there and controlled the Source Sand to attack.
The three spirit qi professionals were currently struggling to break free. The two spirit qi professionals who had pinnacle Gold feys had encountered some terrifying attacks under the quicksand. All of their screaming and shouting had instantly vanished while their vitality sank into the quicksand.
The spirit qi professional with the Platinum fey quickly yelled, “Don’t, don’t, don’t kill me! Spare my life! I will do whatever you want me to do in the future!”
Lin Yuan heard the response. The icy cold eyes behind the mask were now flickering with murderous intent. “You don’t even have a Willpower Rune. How are you going to pledge your allegiance?”
Lin Yuan’s words stopped that spirit qi professional from speaking any other words to ask for mercy. Without any Willpower Rune, there wasn’t a way to swear an oath with the Willpower Rune. Without the Willpower Rune to bind one’s words, then there wasn’t any credibility.
Lin Yuan’s icy cold eyes looked at the spirit qi professional and his Platinum fey, Saber-Tooth Hunched Wolf, struggle in the sand.
Towards anyone who wanted to kill him, Lin Yuan would never be merciful. Even if this spirit qi professional possessed a Willpower Rune and wanted to pledge his allegiance, Lin Yuan wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
Anyone who had ideas of killing him, Lin Yuan would never spare that person. Therefore, he would never allow those who wanted to kill him to stay by his side as a servant.
Now that the Source Sand had created and accumulated sand for over a month, its strength was already far beyond the Source Sand’s regular strength.
The Gold I/Fantasy I Source Sand’s regular strength was already equivalent to a Platinum fey. Now that the Source Sand was able to control a massive amount of sand that was boundless, its strength was already far beyond the limits of a Platinum fey.
As long as it wasn’t a flying Platinum fey, any fey that got trapped in this boundless quicksand wouldn’t be able to escape. Only Diamond feys would have the possibility of breaking free.
When the Source Sand created a huge amount of sand to form the quicksand, it was no longer a simple attack method. The elemental source-type lifeform had used its characteristics to form a natural disaster.
The spirit qi professional and its Platinum fey rapidly exhausted their spirit qi due to the struggling in the sea of sand. At present, they no longer had any spiritual power to prevent themselves from sinking into the quicksand.
The spirit qi professional accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of sand during the struggle. As the sand contained the ferromanganese’s properties, it caused the spirit qi professional’s vocal chord to be shattered from all the grinding.
The spirit qi professional couldn’t even speak now. All of a sudden, the spirit qi professional heard an icy cold voice. “How many have you ambushed before me?”
The quicksand that had Lin Yuan’s spiritual power was the same as Lin Yuan’s eyes. He could feel there were plenty of spirit qi professionals and feys that had just died recently within the quicksand. All these spirit qi professionals and feys were all killed with a single strike from sneak attacks.
It was obvious that the trio had been ambushing several adventurers who entered this place.
The spirit qi professional with the Platinum fey that had already lost all strength to struggle resentfully glared at Lin Yuan with bloodshot eyes.
Lin Yuan saw the spirit qi professional’s resentful eyes, so he responded by gently moving his finger. The spirit qi professional’s Platinum Saber-Tooth Hunched Wolf was only able to let out half a groan before it was buried silently into the quicksand. The Saber-Tooth Hunched Wolf’s contractor was in instant agony as big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
This was the real world and not the Star Web. When the fey perished, there would be a spiritual backlash to the spirit qi professional.
Lin Yuan said indifferently, “Those who kill should be ready to get killed too. I originally wanted to ask why you were ambushing other adventurers, but you swallowed the sand with ferromanganese properties and broke your vocal chord. I am now unable to ask for any answers too.”
Lin Yuan then said softly, “Source Sand, devour him.”
Once the spirit qi professional sank into the quicksand along with his Platinum Saber-Tooth Hunched Wolf, Lin Yuan was the only person remaining in the underground cave under the flame vortex.
Lin Yuan asked the Source Sand to extend the quicksand range and turned a two-kilometer radius from the cave into a quicksand region. He then used the sand to block up all the entrances from the cave to the valley.
Lin Yuan was stepping on the moving quicksand and walking toward the fist-sized plant that was enveloped in the flame vortex.
Lin Yuan realized the fist-sized plant was indeed a scarlet red succulent plant. Its color was truly pure red, and it was even purer than cinnabar.
Eight fang-like leaves were growing together, forming the shape of an elegant lotus. Each of the fang-like leaves was striking in color, but they weren’t dazzling.
It might be of an extreme red and should be dazzling like the radiant sun, but at this moment, the redness was particularly reserved. It wasn’t even as dazzling as the flowing flame energy that it was absorbing.
Lin Yuan felt that the fang-shaped leaves looked like the fangs of a dragon species fey. However, when the leaves were all placed together in a formation, it gave off an unspeakable delicate beauty.
This succulent plant that wasn’t even the size of a fist actually possessed a motherly radiance that would accept all life.
Each of the dragon fang-shaped leaves was totally scarlet red; only the base of the leaf would have a tint of green. When all the green tints were gathered together, it looked like a green flame.
The green flame was totally enveloped by the red flame and didn’t even reveal any presence. The red flame was burning violently, but when Lin Yuan walked closer, he couldn’t feel any temperature.
The flame vortex was absorbing all the fire elements and fusing them into the red flame. But the red flame didn’t seem to be growing, only the core of the red flame. The green flame was constantly dancing.
As the green flame was dancing, one could visibly see that it was getting more sparkling and translucent, just like a burning jade.
Lin Yuan was now almost certain that this succulent scarlet plant should be the heaven and earth fey, Red Pagoda. The green flame that was wrapped inside the red flame should be the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire that was ranked seventh among all fire attribute spiritual ingredients.
Lin Yuan used Morbius’ True Data to check and found out that this succulent scarlet plant was none other than the Red Pagoda, just as he imagined. However, this scarlet succulent wasn’t just a regular Red Pagoda.
When under True Data’s display, this scarlet succulent plant’s name was called Twin Red Pagoda.
Lin Yuan conducted a detailed observation and discovered that this Red Pagoda didn’t have just one flower. When tracing from the roots, Lin Yuan realized that the two flowers’ bigger flower had nearly withered due to unknown reasons. Only the core of the main flower was emitting a very weak red flame.
It was hidden with a few traces of green flame within the red flame. Had it not been for the support flower protecting and nursing the main flower’s final tinder, this main flower would have already withered.
Lin Yuan immediately noticed something wrong. As a Creation Master, he had a deep understanding of all lifeforms.
For the Red Pagoda, a heaven and earth fey, it wasn’t logical for the support flower to be lively while the main flower was withering in its natural habitat.
Lin Yuan placed his hand away from the Red Pagoda first before releasing pure spiritual power. Once the Red Pagoda felt the pure spiritual power, the scarlet leaves suddenly turned bright.
After a moment, Lin Yuan attempted to use his hand to touch the Red Pagoda’s main flower that was basically withered. He then released pure spirit qi towards the main flower.
All living things had a spirit. As a heaven and earth fey, the Red Pagoda naturally had its own intelligence. Although the Red Pagoda’s spiritual wisdom was limited due to being a plant-species fey, it could still feel others’ help.
The growth of a heaven and earth fey was to strive for life against heaven. When being helped with such pure spirit qi, the Twin Red Pagoda released a friendly aura to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan then injected more of the pure spirit qi toward the Twin Red Pagoda. It was already treating Lin Yuan as its kin. However, Lin Yuan felt something wrong as he continued pouring pure spirit qi toward the main flower.
Lin Yuan placed his palms on the Twin Red Pagoda and sensed that the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire that the Twin Red Pagoda was nurturing had already matured.
Logically, after the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire was matured, it should naturally dissipate. The Red Pagoda was a kind of flower that would use its entire life to nurture a fire.
Now that the Twin Red Pagoda absorbed so much of fire elements, it had nearly dried up the fire elements within this Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. But if the fire elements absorbed weren’t used to nurture the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire, where did they go?
Lin Yuan didn’t command the Source Sand to excavate toward the roots of the Twin Red Pagoda. Instead, he was digging it personally. The Twin Red Pagoda had already treated Lin Yuan as its kin, so it didn’t make any defensive actions.
After digging for a moment, he realized that the Twin Red Pagoda’s roots were planted in an exquisite clear gold disk.
