Chapter - 1049 Harbinger of Doom

"Tinder Essence?"

Chen Xiaobei looked closely and saw a dark silver flame, at the spot where the Xiuhcoatl's body was incinerated, melted the ground, leaving a gaping hole. As the magma spread, it ate away portions of the ground at a constant pace, as if it were going to consume the entire floor!

"This flame is actually not bad! Though it was not as good as Sanmei True Fire, I think it should be better than using the ordinary flame to concoct pill or craft equipment!"

Chen Xiaobei mulled it over.

If he needed to concoct pill later, and could not find Hong Hai'er, he could use this flame to do it first. Chen Xiaobei then took the pea-sized Tinder Essence and stored it into the Infinite Space Ring.

Phantom Rain's expression change when she saw the space ring but she said nothing. Clearly, she had seen a similar Spiritual Item and was the least bit surprised by it.

"Qie Loulan, weren't you a demigod before this? How were you hurt by this python? Could it be that their king was as powerful as a demigod?"

Chen Xiaobei asked cautiously.

If there was a monster that was as powerful as a demigod, Chen Xiaobei would pack up and leave right away.

If they go in any further, they would surely be killed by it.

"No…" Qie Loulan shook his head and explained, "When I was still alive, that Xiuhcoatl King was only at pinnacle phase of True Nirvana stage. I was doing my training when it snuck up on me!"

"No way! The Daitengu snuck up by a monster with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation… This is really awkward…" exclaimed Phantom Rain.

"You are right… It's really embarrassing that I was attacked by this weakling… This makes me feel really frustrated… It's better for us not to underestimate it… If it's still alive, I think its cultivation is definitely stronger than before!"

"Tell me, is there or is there not a treasury here? And what is inside the treasury? If I would be getting lesser than what I'm going to use, then there's no need to go in!" asked Chen Xiaobei in a serious manner.

Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei had made a calculated decision.

Only a fool would sell his hens on a rainy day.

"Treasury?"

Phantom Rain's eyes widened, waiting for an answer just as eagerly.

Who knew that Chen Xiaobei had come to look for treasure!

"I am very sure!" Qie Loulan said, "Somewhere deep inside this space, there's a treasury and in it are about 10,000 Spiritual Stones, some ancient Spiritual Items, and rare medicines…"

"What? 10,000 Spiritual Stones? That's a lot! And there's also Spiritual Items and rare medicine?! Oh, that's awesome!"

Both Chen Xiaobei and Phantom Rain put on a shocking look.

Chen Xiaobei had gone through a lot of pain for an extended period of time only to have collected 5,000 Spiritual Stones. And even though Phantom Rain was the leader of the Tenshou division, she had never seen to many Spiritual Stones at once.

Spiritual Stones had always been the best item to a Jianghu elite. With 10,000 Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Items, and rare medicine inside it, there was no way that anyone could resist the temptation to go and look for it!

Looking at Chen Xiaobei's and Phantom Rain's reaction, one could see that they were ready to venture into the deeper part of the dimension to go and search for the treasure.

"Bro Bei, don't get all worked up just yet!" Qie Loulan then added, "It's been so long. I cannot be sure that the Xiuhcoatl King had not gotten to it first. If it did, then the main door will not be able to withstand its flame!"

Chen Xiaobei was not happy to hear this.

"What are the chances, do you think, of it finding the treasury?"

"50/50 I suppose… My treasury is in a very hidden location! The Xiuhcoatl King would only be able to come across it only if it were by chance!" Qie Loulan said. "But it's been such a long time, we can't possibly rule out that it had a lucky break throughout this time…"

"That's cutting it really close! I think we should continue ahead!" Phantom Rain said eagerly.

"Chen Yasai, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?" Chen Xiaobei pursed his lips and said, "You refuse to allow me to check your identity, and so, even if we find tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones, it has will have nothing to do with you!"

"Hmph! You're so stingy!"

Phantom Rain rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaobei.

"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance!" Chen Xiaobei said, "Just let me try it again one more time. I need to know if you're the person I'm looking for. I'm willing to split half of the stones with you!"

"You really want to try again?" Phantom Rain spat, "You lowlife! Sicko! I can't believe I was worried for you just now! I treated you as my ally but you want to take advantage of me! I know what you're thinking!"

"Then you leave me no choice," Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "If I can't prove that you are my friend then you are my prisoner, which means that you don't get to keep a single Spiritual Stone!"

"Oh please! Who needs your precious Spiritual Stones? Anyway, we don't even know who those stones belong to now!" Phantom Rain glared at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Who knows, maybe the Xiuhcoatl King is already inside the treasury, guarding it with his little reptile children and grandchildren and they will all sputter fire until you turn into a roast pig!"

Chen Xiaobei said cheekily, "Chen Yasai, aren't you the leader of the Tenshou division? Why are acting so childish?"

"You are the one who is childish!" Phantom Rain retorted. "That was based on my instinct! If you don't believe me then let's go and find out! My sixth sense is very good by the way!"

"What the hell?!" Both Chen Xiaobei and Qie Loulan's exclaimed all of a sudden, their eyes widened. "You really are a harbinger of doom! That… That that that…"

"What?" Phantom Rain looked quizzically at Chen Xiaobei and followed his gaze at whatever was behind her.

What she saw stopped her in her tracks.

Bam! Boom! Boom…

About a few hundred meters away, a loud stampeding noise was heard. Dusts fluttered and clouded the air, even the ground shook violently, it was as if there was an army charging at them.

But, the speed at which they traveled at was faster than war horses.

They would arrive in a matter of seconds.

A horde of Xiuhcoatls were charging at them!

"Chen Yasai! Drink this!"

Chen Xiaobei took out a Hundred Herbs Potion and gave it to Phantom Rain.

"What is this?"

"It's a medicine that will help restore your health and True Qi!" Chen Xiaobei said, "If you don't want to become a roasted pig, then we'll have to fight side by side!"

"Okay! I'll take it!"

Phantom Rain understood the precariousness of the situation and did not challenge Chen Xiaobei.

"Here's a knife! I will hold them off first. Once you have recovered some of your True Qi and are able to fight, you can come help me!"

Chen Xiaobei thrust the black knife into the ground, and charged forward with his Sunslaying Divine Bow.
