132 Bountiful Reward

After briefly explaining the situation to Andre, Andre frowned. “I’ll find someone to ask if Qing Niao’s condition serious. How can we eliminate the poison?”

Andre stood up and walked away quickly.

“Fang Ping, do you think what I’m doing is right?” Qing Niao lay with his eyes narrowed.

Fang Ping did not answer.

“This is a rare opportunity for me. I can’t miss it,” Qing Niao said, grinning.

There was no real right or wrong.

Everyone’s choices were different, so Fang Ping did not comment.

It was still early. Fang Ping waited for Andre’s news. He wanted to see what use this Flame Rock had.

“Qing Niao, call me if you need anything.”

He sat at the side, closed his eyes, and began to accumulate energy.

But not long after, they heard hurried footsteps. Andre was back.

“Qing Niao, how many Flame Rocks did you use today?”

“Ten pieces.”

“Ten pieces! You… you! You really don’t want to live anymore!”

Hearing Andre gasp for breath, Fang Ping opened his eyes. “Andre, what’s wrong?”

“Do you know how many Flame Rocks you can use at a time? It’s two! Really, if anything happens to Qing Niao, I’ll settle the score with Red Camellia Snake and Feng Ling.” Andre was furious, but someone walked over from behind.

Red Camellia Snake’s voice was light and silky. “Why? Do you want to settle the score with me? How do you want to settle it?”

Andre clenched his fists and glared at her, not saying anything else.

He did not know what was wrong with the two of them.

Red Camellia Snake looked at Qing Niao on the ground. “It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but if you’re interested tomorrow, you can use the Flame Rocks yourself. Why didn’t we say that we can’t use more than two pieces? It’s because ordinary people can’t use more than one anyway, so there’s no need to say it.”

Red Camellia Snake revealed a charming smile. “I’m a little interested in you now. If you don’t plan to stay in the Red Cloud Chamber of Commerce, you can look for me.”

Andre asked from the side, “Then what about his current state? Can he recover?”

“In Fire Dragon City, there are many people who have been poisoned by fire poison. It’s not a big problem. He’ll be fine after lying down for a while. However, in his situation, he’ll probably lie down for a longer time.”

“Andre, it’s fine. It’s fine as long as I don’t die. I’m very satisfied with this price compared to the gains.”

“Oh? You’ve gained a lot?” Qing Niao revealed a bright smile.

“My door will also open to you. This door leads to many wonderful things,” Red Camellia Snake said. She glanced at Andre, turned around, and left.

Not long after, Feng Ling came over.

Feng Ling’s attitude was much better than Red Camellia Snake.

“I didn’t think too much about it just now. I forgot to say that I can’t use Flame Rocks more than once. I’m really sorry.”

It made Qing Niao a little embarrassed. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s not your fault. I was too anxious. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“I’m really fine.”

In the end, Feng Ling left a bottle of healing potion for Qing Niao before leaving. Although Qing Niao kept saying that he did not need this thing, Feng Ling was still very insistent. She said that it was better to be prepared.

Only then did Fang Ping ask Andre, “Andre, didn’t you ask about the Flame Rocks just now? What did you say about this thing?”

“The Flame Rocks is another form of energy fragment. Its energy can be directly absorbed or piled up to increase the surrounding energy concentration. However, no matter which form it is, fire poison will appear.

“In the Lava World, most of the fire poison will be absorbed by the surrounding environment. Here, Fire Dragon City uses children with good recovery abilities to absorb the fire poison.”

“This…” Fang Ping noticed that the word Andre used was ‘used’. It was a term that made anyone hearing this uncomfortable.

“What about the effects of the fire poison?”

“It will make your body feel hot and tear your muscles, bringing about a feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness. Just like Qing Niao now. As long as you leave the fire poison environment in time and rest, you can recover. If you don’t leave for a long time, you will also die.”

Fang Ping thought of the woman who hugged Qing Niao’s thigh. Her child most likely was being used.

Qing Niao’s condition was far worse than Fang Ping had imagined. Other than being able to speak, she could not move at all.

At night, they had meat soup. Qing Niao could not even hold the bowl and had a hard time chewing.

This side effect was really huge.

However, Qing Niao was also very optimistic. “It’s fine. I can’t move my body. But I can still use my brain. I can accumulate more energy.”

However, it was still difficult to cultivate tonight. Under the night sky, Fire Dragon City was still noisy and crowded. It was difficult to calm down and accumulate energy.

The next day, Captain Hu Daqin brought the Elite Team into the Lava World on time.

On the streets of Fire Dragon City, people came and went. When they saw each other, they had smiles on their faces. There were also some children running and playing. The city was being awakened bit by bit.

After entering the Lava World, many people could not wait to receive two tools. They hurriedly scattered and rushed to mine.

Andre called out to Fang Ping, “Fang Ping, come with us. If anything happens, we can take care of each other.”

“Okay.”

Gran was pulled away by his friend. Qing Niao did not come in, so Fang Ping followed Andre.

However, Feng Ling was not around this time.

Walking past a few pumice stones, Red Camellia Snake pointed at a larger one. “This one is relatively flat. Do you want to try the Flame Rocks first? Feel what this thing that can quickly break through the energy barrier is like.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Andre jumped over, causing the magma to shake.

Holding the Flame Rock, Andre sat down and closed his eyes to cultivate. Only then did Fang Ping realize that Andre also had a calming necklace around his neck.

Fang Ping was also very interested in the Flame Rocks. He walked over and sat beside it. Even without the Tranquil Heart Necklace, he could calm down very quickly.

Holding the Flame Rock, Fang Ping immediately felt the golden-red light spots around his body.

Densely packed golden-red light spots shot over as soon as they appeared. They crashed into Fang Ping’s body like meteors, splashing red water.

The moment this red splash appeared, Fang Ping experienced what Qing Niao had felt yesterday.

The heat quickly spread from his stomach to his entire body. Soon, the heat turned into a burning sensation.

At the same time, as the burning sensation spread throughout his entire body, there was a feeling of muscles tearing wherever it passed. It was like a small knife cutting his body, cutting his body into strands. This feeling also went from light to heavy, from light to deep. His entire body was hot and painful.

His entire body was trembling. Fang Ping gritted his teeth, but this did not ease the pain at all.

“Ah!”

Fang Ping screamed and opened his eyes. He took a deep breath, grabbed the healing potion that was prepared at the side, and gulped it down.

“Phew.”

As time passed, the burning pain in his body slowly weakened.

He opened his palm and held the Flame Rocks without any change.

Should he continue? Fang Ping took a deep breath and put away the Flame Rock. This cultivation experience was indeed not good.
