System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 167 Ch 167: Dream Spirit Grass

Alex arrived beside Bill very soon and took a look at the Dragon Blood Flower. Although he did not really fancy the two people, he still thanked them and said: "Thank you for helping me. One day, if you might need my help and I'm there, I'll definitely help you!"

"No need, no need. Now that we have brought you here, we'll take our leave first!" Kuntz waved his hand and exchanged glances with Bill before saying the above words. Then he left with Bill, leaving Alex behind.

Alex of course knew that these two people were in a hurry to leave because they were afraid of the Level 8 demonic beast. But wasn't. He has many ways to deal with these kinds of demonic beasts.

Shaking his head, he jumped down and landed in front of the Dragon Blood Flower. This flower was about 5 inches big and was shaped like a dragon. Moreover, it was completely red in color and smelled like blood. This is also the reason why it was called Dragon Blood Flower.

"Roar!"

The moment Alex extended his hand to pick the flower, a monstrous aura locked on him. A beast's roar echoed and a huge demonic beast appeared 10 meters away from Alex. This demonic beast actually looked a lot like Llama, however, unlike Llamas, it had scales all over its body instead of soft fur. Also, its eyes were red and it actually had a pair of wings.

Alex was not in the mood to fight, so he let the little Light Devouring Beast erupt with its aura that instantly scared off the Llama-type demonic beast. The Level 8 demonic beast that has been ruling this ever-changing terrain for who knows how many years, hurriedly ran away, not daring to stop, and turned back at all.

After that, Alex easily obtained the Dragon Blood Flower.

And with this, his mission was completed. All he has to do now is to submit the mission to the Mission Hall. But that is something he'll do later.

Now that he was done with the mission, it was time to complete his true purpose. He was going to look for the 3rd Volume of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

.....

To refrain from meeting both Kuntz and Bill again, Alex headed in another direction. It was at this moment, however, that he noticed something beneath his feet.

"The further I head in this direction, the higher the temperature of the ground below me becomes."

Alex had known that Bill and Kuntz were exploring and inspecting the phenomenon of the Burning Sky Plain these past few days but his mind had mostly been focused on hurriedly finding the Dragon Blood Flower and then looking for the last volume of Scarlet Flame Saber Technique. But now that he discovered that the further he walks the higher the temperature becomes, he continued walking on.

At the same time, he unleashed his spiritual sense to the maximum. Along the way, he was very cautious.

After about five hours, Alex suddenly sensed something. Frowning a little, observed carefully and muttered: "There is something there. I should look at it carefully."

Alex quietly went in the direction he just sensed. Not long after, he saw a demonic beast.

"It seems to be an Illusory Spirit Beast, a Level 7 demonic beast that specializes in illusions and has a very strong spiritual force."

The Illusory Spirit Beast was a rat-type demonic beast that was roughly the size of a kitten and emitted a misty light, as if a layer of mist covered its whole body. This light made people unable to see its appearance properly, apart from the pair of faint purple eyes that kept swiveling that appeared to be extremely cute.

Once Alex walked a little closer, the illusory Spirit Beast finally discovered him. Seeing Alex's appearance, it gave a shrill scream, and then the mist surrounding it exploded, and it actually turned into a fiendish-looking Demonic Beast.

"You dare to display such petty tricks in front of me."

Alex was not intimidated. He was already prepared to encounter illusions created by the demonic beasts. Without wasting a second, he charged ahead!

As for that Illusory Spirit Beast, when it saw that Alex was not afraid of the illusion it had created, it was momentarily so frightened that it ran with its tail between its legs. After running for a while it changed back into its original form.

Alex didn't chase after the Illusory Spirit Beast. He calmly sensed the surroundings. And after a few seconds, his face revealed traces of joy and surprise.

"This is... Dream Spirit Grass. There are actually a lot of Dream Spirit Grasses. It is no wonder that Illusory Spirit Beast was lurking here!"

Although Alex sensed many Dream Spirit Grasses that are also relatively rare, he didn't immediately go to pick them up. Because he had another concern. The deeper he trodden, the surrounding temperature got higher and the charred soil on the earth faintly revealed the red glow of fire below.

"What exactly is happening in this Burning Sky Plain?"

Alex observe his surroundings as he slowly walked forward. This was also the direction of Dream Spirit Grass. As walked forward, he continued to observe his surroundings. These blackened parts of the plains seemingly and gradually changed color.

After a short while, in front of Alex's vision, a huge crater on the ground appeared. This crater seemed to have been formed by a meteorite that might have fallen here a very very long time ago.

More importantly, in the deepest area of this crater, a strong aroma could be detected. Alex convulsed from this sweet scent. Staring at it again, Alex saw that the crater was actually filled with Dream Spirit Grasses. There were at least thousands of stalks of Dream Spirit Grass.

Seeing so many Dream Spirit Grasses, Alex took a deep breath. He had never thought that there would actually be thousands of stalks of Dream Spirit Grass gathered here. After a short while, he dashed towards the depths of this huge crater.

These thousands of Dream Spirit Grasses made Alex momentarily forget about the temperature. It was so high that the air around him already contained sparks. Around the perimeter of the Dream Spirit Grasses, a small black-colored metal slate the size of a palm was intensely shaking and flames were emitting from it!

In the process of going forward, Alex had already sensed that something was amiss. At this point he suddenly saw that at the heart of all the Dream Spirit Grasses, a pile of flames was set ablaze, violently burning the surrounding Dream Spirit Grasses. Instantly all of the thousand stalks of Dream Spirit Grasses were engulfed by the flames!

Alex was so horrified that he frantically retreated a few steps. Even for him, this temperature was too high. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized something and muttered: "There seemed to be a very strange object inside that flames. Its destructive nature is immense, I think I should leave this place as soon as possible!"

Alex immediately turned back and escaped. It was at this point the flame that was spreading apart had turned into a sea of fire. As Alex turned back, he saw the huge flames continued to set everything ablaze. It was like an epidemic, which headed in all directions!

"Earlier I saw a metal slate, and the flames seemed to come out from it. What exactly is that metal slate?"

As Alex was escaping, he thought of those thousands of Dream Spirit Grasses that were devoured into the sea of flame. For a moment, Alex was unable to accept the fact that they were all gone.

If only his speed had been quicker earlier, who knows if he might've been able to obtain more!

But when he thought about the Dream Spirit Flowers, he suddenly remembered about the metal slate that immediately attracted his attention.

Alex once again looked back and saw the sea of fire that was continuously spreading across the Burning Sky Plain. At this moment, countless demonic beasts were escaping the Burning Sky Plain, which was a rather pitiful sight.

"I don't know exactly what that metal slate was; it could actually create such a gigantic flame! If this carries on, the whole Burning Sky Plain may be set ablaze."

During the moment he halted to take a look at it, the flame soon caught up with him.

"The metal slate should be a treasure, if one can control it, it could have endless benefits. But this flame is simply too big and right now it has already covered a radius of ten kilometers. If this flame continues increasing, the whole of Burning Sky Plain might very well be filled with flames, and I will too be unable to obtain that metal slate. Not to mention, I didn't even obtain the Third Volume of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique. So... In the end, it is only a waste of time."
