Chapter 479

The number of demon beasts in the North Burning Valley had significantly decreased due to the Fire Calamity . Even after the Element Sensors were buried under the ground for two hours, there was no sign of demon beast being attracted to them .
It was most likely that the demon beasts had yet to recover from their fear of the Fire Calamity . The demon beasts were all hiding in their lairs, not daring to come out of safety .
The longer the devices were placed in the ground, the further they were able to scan, which would greatly reduce the time needed to search for the Soul Seeds . The four Element Sensors were positioned in four different directions . The party easily determined the right direction, and as they proceeded further, they could feel the ground turning hotter . It was a sign that they were approaching a Soul Seed .
“This is it! Zhang Xiaohou, Chen Yi, use your Earth Element to quickly locate the Soul Seed around here,” Mo Fan told the two excitedly .
Zhang Xiaohou was fairly naive . He would do anything that Mo Fan told him . If he had a hoe, he would start digging promptly .
Chen Yi was rather calm . Perhaps she knew that the Soul Seeds were not valuable compared to the other stuff that was produced in the Burning Valley after the Fire Calamity .
Zhang Xiaohou was fully prepared . He could not wait to dig into the ground when they arrived at the place . However, Chen Yi tapped on his shoulder softly, signaling the man who had totally lost his ability to think after seeing some gold nearby to take a look ahead .
A moment ago, the place ahead was shrouded by a cloud of sand, which greatly reduced the visibility . As the cloud of sand cleared slowly, it revealed a huge pit, like that produced by a meteorite in front .
The diameter of the pit was around one kilometer . It was shaped like a tiny basin, but shockingly huge!
Its inside was extremely dry, and its surface was cracking open, with flames flickering out of the little gaps . The inner part of the flame was yellow in color, looking like stalks of wheat swaying in the wind!
There must be a Soul Seed nearby, as only a Soul Seed was able to change the color of fire!
Zhang Xiaohou glanced ahead before rubbing his eyes in disbelief . He discovered a yellow Fire Element Soul Seed floating at the center of the pit around two meters above the ground .
Although Zhang Xiaohou had not found many Soul Seeds before, the others in the army had always mentioned how difficult it was to locate a Soul Seed . He had never heard of a Soul Seed that was right before someone’s eyes .
“Isn’t… isn’t this a bit too easy?” Zhang Xiaohou could not believe it .
Mo Fan stood at the edge of the kilometer-wide pit . It was obvious that the Fire Element Soul Seed was freshly produced . Most likely, a huge amount of the Fire Calamity’s force had accumulated in this area . The ground was unable to withstand the force, so the ground around it began to collapse and sink .
Furthermore, it had filled the place with Fire Essence . It was Mo Fan’s first time seeing a yellow flame . He could not tell what kind of special effect it had .
Normally, every Soul Seed would have some kind of special effect . The Rose Flame which Mo Fan had increased the damage of his Fire Spells by 250%!
Different Soul Seeds had different effects . Some with an outstanding effect could be sold at a higher price . For example, the Flowing Mud which Zhang Xiaohou acquired was very high-quality among the Earth Element Soul Seeds . It could be sold for a price of around thirty million RMB .
Each Soul Seed had a certain level of intelligence . The yellow Soul Seed seemed fairly magical, thus they should be able to sell it for a fairly high price .
“The whole place is covered in those underground flames that could easily burn a human into ashes . They will burn anyone who tries to make it to the center to death,” said Xinxia .
Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou turned toward the restless Mo Fan simultaneously . He was the only Fire Magician here, which meant he would have a certain degree of Fire Resistance .
Mo Fan did not waste time discussing with the others . He jumped into the pit full of the yellow flames . It was unbelievable to see a Soul Seed simply exposed in the air, and more shockingly, there were no creatures guarding the Soul Seed nearby .
Creatures like the demon beasts were unable to refine Soul Seeds like humans to gain their power . They had to consume the energy of the Soul Seeds, and they could only refine them after their bodies fully adapted to their power, turning them into their own power .
It was quite a lengthy process, thus whenever a Soul Seed appeared, if a demon beast happened to find it first, it would guard the Soul Seed .
Mo Fan went deeper into the small basin and quickly arrived at the center . Less than a few dozen meters away from the yellow Soul Seed, he came to a stop, and cautiously checked his surroundings .
When nature was kind enough to put such a precious Soul Seed right in front of Mo Fan, it felt like a goddess whom he was fond of suddenly took off her clothes and used her hands to comb her hair . He felt extremely tempted, yet at the same time was worried that when he lunged forward, he would wake up from the wet dream .
Therefore, even when he was about to pounce at the Soul Seed like a starving wolf, he subconsciously hesitated at the very last second .
He could not find anything in the surroundings apart from the stronger flames . The Fire Resistance from his Rose Flame was enough to make him immune to the flames .
Finally, he continued walking forward, and immediately felt an extreme heat blowing into his face . Mo Fan instantly felt its struggle to protect its virginity .
The only problem was, its chastity was meaningless, as it stood no chance against Mo Fan’s evil claw .
—
Mo Fan carefully placed the Soul Seed into the container . Apart from feeling somewhat uncomfortable due to the heat from the yellow flames in the surroundings, the process was rather smooth .
He was still imagining that once he tried to retrieve the Soul Seed, a monster with three heads and six arms would burst out from the ground and chase after him relentlessly . The truth was, nothing happened . It was quite the opposite, as the yellow flames around him were slowly extinguished after the Soul Seed was stashed inside the container .
“I now believe that the Fire Calamity is indeed like holding a grand feast in this Burning Valley…” Zhao Manyan exclaimed when he saw Mo Fan acquiring the Soul Seed with such ease .
If such an outstanding Soul Seed could be found so easily, it was obvious that a Soul Seed was only a small entree in this feast!
God knew what kind of treasure they would find as they venture deeper into the place!
