System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 165 Ch 165: Burning Sky Plain
Three days later, Alex once again the Scarlet Flame Valley. He had accepted a mission from the Mission Hall to bring back a rare herb called Dragon Blood Flower. He accepted this mission because it is said that Dragon Blood Flower was seen in the depth of Scarlet Flame Valley a few days ago.
Since his goal was also to go there, he accepted this mission.
After accepting the mission, he first broke through to the Origin Sea Stage Level 1 and then left the sect.
Right now, he has already come deeper into the Scarlet Flame Valley. He could see a foggy mist in front of him and an endless sight of grey strange dead trees. A fiery aura along with the aura of desolation permeated the air and the atmosphere reeked of blood. Unknown demonic beast remains littered the ground. Some had decayed longer than others, a few which would disintegrate into fine dust with only a light touch. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
He didn't expect to see such a scene after coming to the depth of the Scarlet Flame Valley.
"From the map, the location of the Dragon Blood Grass is in an area called Burning Sky Plain inside the Scarlet Flame Valley. I'll just rush over there now. It will at most take us just half a day to get there."
After confirming the location and direction, Alex rushed there at full speed. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
Half a day's time gradually passed.
"The Burning Sky Plain's size is extremely huge too. It's not certain if there is still any Dragon Blood Flower left. It looks like I have to look for it carefully."
After some time, night gradually approached. In this kind of desolate environment, it was not suitable to continue walking.
"Oh well, it will be very difficult to find the Dragon Blood Flower at night. I'll look for it tomorrow morning."
"In Burning Sky Plain, the lairs and caves of demonic beasts are littered everywhere. I have to find a lair and get rid of the demonic beasts inside so that there will be some safety."
After making up his mind, Alex began his search. Once Alex got rid of the fifth and sixth-level demonic beasts inside, he began to clean up the cave a little. Then he started a fire and prepared to barbecue some meat.
When the flame had just started, there came some scratching noises from outside. Alex stood up and at this point, two robust-looking men entered the cave. Upon seeing that there was actually a young man inside, they were startled. One of them who had a large physique, and wore a demonic beast pelt, ridiculed and said: "You actually dare to come to Burning Sky Plain inside the Scarlet Flame Valley, your guts aren't small boy. You should know there are Crystal Transformation Stage demonic beasts here."
The other was a skinny and cultured-looking man. He sized Alex up and laughed as he said to the person beside him: "He seems to be already at the First Level of Origin Sea Stage. If only he knew his place, who knows he could have become a respected figure somewhere when he matures, what a pity..."
Both of them never give Alex another look, treating him like air and completely ignoring him. Then, as if minding their own business, they entered the cave and sat beside the fire that Alex had started.
Alex inwardly sized up these two men and he put a frightened expression on his face. These two people most likely discovered that someone was there, so they entered out of curiosity. Upon seeing that Alex's strength was merely at the Origin Sea Stage Level 1 and that he posed no threats to them at all, their heart became ease, and they conveniently stayed in this cave.
"Both of them are merely Peak Origin Sea Stage martial warriors and aren't a match for me. However, it seems like they frequently visit this Burning Sky Plain and should be rather familiar with the area. I should use this opportunity to find information about the Dragon Blood Flower. Violence may not be a good solution. Right now they are taking me lightly, I might as well act like 'one' right now."
Thinking of this, Alex immediately eagerly moved to where the two people were and said flatteringly: "Hello, I'm Alex. Both Big Brothers have such a profound level of strength. I am extremely impressed. Since we have met by fate and we seemed to be fated to come across each other's paths in Burning Sky Plain, it is my extreme honor to meet you. May I know the names of these two Big Brothers?"
Originally these two thought that Alex would have been one of those arrogant and solitary kinds, like a brat who belittled others based on their small achievements. They never thought that Alex was actually like a little manservant, as the proverb says, one does not reach out to hit a smiling person. If Alex was furious at these two for invading his cave, they could have just killed him. But Alex actually smiled jovially and approached them, which made them feel nonplussed.
Seeing the gaze filled with respect on Alex's face, they looked at each other in the eye, and then the larger man said blandly: "I am Bill Paxton and this is Kuntz Karter."
"So it is Big Brother Bill and Big Brother Kuntz. Seeing the appearance of both Big Brothers, it seems like you have frequently visited the Burning Sky Plain. I'm really extremely impressed. I love to explore and take risks since I was young and this time I mustered enough courage to come to Burning Sky Plain. I never expected that so many dangers are lurking in this Burning Sky Plain. If I haven't met both of you, I wouldn't know how to survive past this night."
Alex said these words with extreme conviction and sincerity, adding on a few phrases of flattery. These two men felt rather good about themselves and the contempt that they had held for Alex now lessened.
"It's not like I want to berate you, but with your age and ability, you are simply courting death by coming into this Burning Sky Plain.
After waiting for Bill to finish speaking, Kuntz stroked his beard, and also used a seniority tone to reproach Alex: "You are rather quick-witted, however, to survive in this world, that is not enough. If you did not meet us and instead it was someone else, seeing a small kid like you here, they would most likely rob you of your wealth and claim your life!"
Alex hurriedly agreed and even scolded himself for having no brains. Saying if he did not meet these two kind-hearted Big Brothers, his corpse would definitely be lying in Burning Sky Plain.
However, he was extremely aware that these two people had actually wanted to kill him. If not for his quick-witted actions, these two would have already taken action against him.
What happened next was Alex hurriedly flattering them, about an hour later, both of them had felt extremely good from his flattery. They only felt that this Alex was very sensible and knew quite a few things.
"Oh yes, Alex, why did you choose to enter the Burning Sky Plain?"
Alex nodded his head saying: "Eh, there is something I'm looking for here. But the Burning Sky Plain seems strange right now. That's why I choose not to explore in the nighttime."
Kuntz nodded his head, saying: "I never thought that even you would be able to sense that there's something amiss at Burning Sky Plain. These days we have been observing this place. The Burning Sky Plain's temperature suddenly increased to a very high degree for some reason, which seemed extremely strange. Even we don't dare enter deeper. As for you, with only Origin Sea Stage Level 1 cultivation base, your guts are a little too much.
Alex was startled and after a while, he put up a bitter laugh on his face. Then he immediately came to the point for which he has been flattering these two people for so long: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to Burning Sky Plain is because I just wanted to look for Dragon Blood Grass. Do you know where they are in Burning Sky Plain?"
'These two are obviously here to look for treasures. Seeing a stranger like me here, they are naturally wary of me, and would want to silence me...' Alex took a deep breath with a sigh.
Hearing these three words, Dragon Blood Flower, Kuntz nodded his head and said: "The Burning Sky Plain indeed has this rare spiritual herb. We have been here to harvest this herb before and roughly know the location. It is just that there is a Level 8 demonic beast guarding this herb, causing us to retreat."
Alex was elated, he never thought that these two people really knows the location of Dragon Blood Herb.
