Chapter 1221

A desolate and secluded place a hundred miles away from that valley.

A group of four people stopped. They were Wei Guchang and Yang Kai and the others. After walking out of that valley, Wei Guchang constantly covered the surroundings with his spiritual thoughts, being extremely vigilant. However, after walking more than a hundred miles, no one with no eyesight came to trouble them, which finally made him heave a sigh of relief.

From beginning to end, Dong Xuan’er, Dai Yuan, and Yang Kai all remained silent and hurried on their way.

It was not until here that Wei Guchang stopped and touched his space ring. Then he turned around and said, “Brother Yang, what are your plans next？”

He did not ask Dai Yuan but instead asked Yang Kai. Yang Kai immediately understood that he probably suspected that he also got a piece of the Red Candle Fruit’s pulp. Because the situations of the two of them were the same now, he would ask such a question.

Of course, Yang Kai would not reveal any flaws in his words. Although he still admired Wei Guchang relatively, the matter of the Red Candle Fruit was of great importance, so it was better to be careful.

Hearing this, he thought for a while and said, “I don’t have any plans. I’m going to go deeper into the third layer to see if I can find some good things.”

“Brother Yang still wants to go deeper？” Wei Guchang’s face changed slightly, and he was very strange in his heart. Logically speaking, if Yang Kai really got the last petal of the Red Candle Fruit’s pulp, he should be cautious and must not take risks to continue going deeper. But Yang Kai actually had the intention to continue exploring deeper.

Not only was Wei Guchang strange, but even Dong Xuan’er and Dai Yuan, the two women, also showed strange expressions.

Yang Kai observed their expressions and knew what they were thinking in their hearts. On the surface, he remained calm and only said, “The third-layer hot flame area has never been entered by anyone. Even the red candle fruit, such an against-the-sky spiritual fruit, has appeared. Maybe there are even better things behind.”

When Wei Guchang heard him say this, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared. He thought that maybe Yang Kai really didn’t get any red candle fruit pulp, so he was so unscrupulous. He nodded slightly and said, “Since Brother Yang has made such a choice, then Wei will not say much. I only hope that Brother Yang will be cautious in everything, and that good people will have good fortune and return with a full load！ I and Xuan’er will not stay here for a long time. We will leave the Flowing Flame Sand Field immediately.”

Yang Kai was not surprised by Wei Guchang’s choice at all. The red candle fruit involved too many relationships. Anyone who carried such a spiritual fruit with them all the time would also be restless. Wei Guchang must have wanted to take out that piece of red candle fruit pulp and hand it over to the elders of the Shadow Moon Palace as soon as possible. Not only did Wei Guchang think so, but Yang Kai estimated that Fang Tianzhong, Qu Changfeng, Yin Sudie, and even that rough-looking big man would also think so and do so. Moreover, they would not even entrust such a matter to others. They would definitely take the red candle fruit pulp they got and directly leave the Flowing Flame Sand Field.

This was actually quite good news for Yang Kai. Since so many of the elites from various sects had left at once, naturally there would be fewer people remaining. And with fewer people, the competition would be less intense.

“Alright. Brother Wei and Miss Xuan’er, be careful on your way.” Yang Kai nodded indifferently.

Wei Guchang then turned his gaze towards Dai Yuan and asked, “What about you, Sister Dai Yuan？”

“Me？” Dai Yuan smiled. “I didn’t obtain any good items during this trip. I’m not in a hurry to leave. Naturally, I want to stay and see if some good fortune will befall me in the following days.”

“Since that’s the case, then be careful in everything.” Wei Guchang naturally wouldn’t persuade Dai Yuan to leave with him.

Dong Xuan’er stepped forward and said a few more words to Dai Yuan. Only then did she and Wei Guchang bid farewell and hastily return along the way they had come.

After the Blazing Sands was opened, it wasn’t impossible to leave. However, no one had ever done so before. After all, even if one’s strength was low, they could still search for some Fire Spirit Beasts to slay in the first layer of the Blazing Region and harvest some Fire Crystals.

But this time, the appearance of the Vermilion Candle Fruit had caused the elites of the several most powerful sects on Gloom Star to withdraw one after another ahead of time. This was almost an unprecedented event in ten thousand years.

After Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er’s figures disappeared from view, Dai Yuan quietly sized up Yang Kai.

Like Wei Guchang, she also suspected that Yang Kai had obtained the pulp of the Red Candle Fruit before. But now, when Yang Kai chose to stay and even continue to go deeper, she wasn’t sure about her guess anymore.

While she was lost in thought, she saw Yang Kai suddenly turn his head and look at her, saying, “Since the matter here is settled, then I will take my leave. I hope Miss Daiyuan has good luck in the following days.”

“Wait！” Daiyuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shouted out. She never expected that Yang Kai would actually directly want to part ways with her.

“What’s the matter？” Yang Kai didn’t have any ill will towards Daiyuan. Although the other party had a congenital deficiency, this woman had a kind and gentle heart. After getting along with her along the way, Yang Kai’s impression of her was still quite good. He just didn’t know why the other party would stop him when he had clearly made his words so clear.

Daiyuan bit her red lip, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face. After hesitating for a while, she said, “Junior Brother Yang, I also want to continue going deeper to take a look. I wonder if I can travel with you？”

“With me?” Yang Kai was stunned.

Although he didn’t know much about this Daiyuan, from the first time he met her, Yang Kai felt that she was a woman who liked to come and go alone. This might have something to do with her appearance, so Yang Kai never thought that the other party would actually propose the request to travel with him.

This made Yang Kai a bit embarrassed.

He wanted to continue to penetrate into the third layer to find a suitable place to refine the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, but if he was with Dai Yuan, it would inevitably interfere with his plan.

Seeing Yang Kai’s frowning appearance, Dai Yuan seemed very embarrassed. She knew that her proposal had made the other party embarrassed, but for some reasons, she really didn’t want to miss this opportunity to be alone with Yang Kai.

What’s more, she really wanted to go deep into the third layer to have a look. The third layer was very different from the second and first layers. Dai Yuan was not sure that she could be safe and sound alone. If she could travel with Yang Kai, even if she encountered danger, there would be someone to take care of her.

So even though she was embarrassed, Dai Yuan still looked at Yang Kai with a earnest gaze Youdaoplaceholder0 that the other party would not be inhumane (unreasonable) and reject her.

She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had been so worried about gains and losses. Since a long time ago, she had never forced anything on others or asked anyone for anything. She made up her mind to rely only on herself, but this time, she broke her persistence.

After a long while, Yang Kai’s brows finally relaxed, and he grinned and said, “Okay.”

When Dai Yuan heard this, her face showed joy, and a grateful look emerged in her beautiful eyes.

“However, there are some things that need to be made clear.” Yang Kai’s expression turned serious. “I assume that Miss Dai Yuan also has some understanding of the situation on the third floor. If we really encounter any restrictions and dangers that I can’t handle, then at that time, the two of us can only find our own ways. If Miss Dai Yuan unfortunately falls, don’t blame me for not lending a helping hand.”

“Naturally.” Dai Yuan nodded slightly. “If we really encounter that kind of life-threatening danger, it can only be said that Dai Yuan’s fate is not good.”

“En.” Seeing that she agreed readily, Yang Kai was satisfied in his heart and said again, “There is one more thing. I have something to do when I go deep into the third floor. When it’s time for me to do that thing, I must separate from you. I can’t stay with you until the Flowing Flame Sand Field closes.”

Dai Yuan showed a hint of surprise, but quickly reacted and smiled, “Junior Brother Yang wants to use the environment here to cultivate some secret technique？”

She took it for granted like this because the environment here simply couldn’t be found outside. The thing that Yang Kai had to come in here to do was naturally related to cultivation.

“Sort of.” Yang Kai didn’t give a definite answer. “If you have no problem with these, then it’s okay for us to travel together.”

“Naturally no problem.” Dai Yuan readily agreed. The two points that Yang Kai mentioned were not really requirements. How could she not agree?

“In that case, then in the following days, I’ll have to trouble Miss Dai Yuan to take care of me a lot.” Yang Kai grinned and smiled.

“It’s Dai Yuan who is bothering Junior Brother Yang.”

After making the decision, Yang Kai took out the Yuan Magnetic Pointer, checked the direction, and together with Dai Yuan, the two of them advanced deeper into the third layer.

The power of the hot flames on the third layer was fierce. Yang Kai had to constantly urge his Saint Yuan to resist the invasion of the fire poison at all times. As for Dai Yuan, it was much simpler. It seemed that she was wearing a treasure armor inside her clothes. She only needed to slightly urge the power of the treasure armor, and a faint blue halo would be emitted on the surface of her body. The cold breath flowed out from the halo, making the fire poison unable to get within three feet of her.

All the way, Dai Yuan was secretly shocked. Although from the first time she saw Yang Kai, she knew that the other party had been using his own Saint Yuan to fight against the fire poison and did not wear a treasure armor for self-defense like the elite disciples of other sects, she was still shocked in her heart.

She didn’t know how much damage Yang Kai’s unrestrained urging of Saint Yuan would cause, but until now, the other party didn’t show the slightest sign of fatigue.

Dai Yuan really wanted to know how much Saint Yuan was stored in Yang Kai’s body that could allow him to squander it like this.

Fortunately, after walking for a day, Yang Kai proposed to meditate and recover, which made Dai Yuan feel a lot more normal.

Using Saint Yuan like this, it would be strange if he didn’t need to recover. Even if she urged the power of the treasure armor, she also lost a lot of strength. Even if Yang Kai didn’t propose it, she would have to take the initiative to speak.

Immediately, the two of them found a secluded place and each found a suitable place to meditate.

Yang Kai, of course, didn’t need to sit cross-legged to recover. The little Saint Yuan he consumed to resist the Fire Poison was just a drop in the bucket for him. He just wanted to find an opportunity to deal with the Red Candle Fruit pulp he obtained.

Although he hastily made a spiritual wooden box to preserve the Red Candle Fruit pulp in the valley, the time was urgent at that time, and the production was a bit rough. He couldn’t completely ensure that the medicinal effect wouldn’t fade away. Just take this opportunity to reprocess it.

Two hours later, Yang Kai finished the processing properly and threw the Red Candle Fruit pulp into the Black Book Space with confidence. Then he leisurely got up and walked towards the position where Dai Yuan was sitting cross-legged.
