Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 143

“Senior, you might not know but there’s something wrong with that corpse. There’s an illusionary mist hidden in it,” Little Purple explained and turned to Ye Chen. “Master, there’s more than one layer of something covering Senior Zhurong’s Spirit Pool fragment. Its outer defense layer is indeed composed of the body tissues of the Ice Fire Beetle, but there’s a very strong fragment of the body of Deep Sea Dragon inside. It emits illusionary mist from the crack, making us think that it’s Senior Zhurong’s Spirit Pool fragment itself.”

“Wait, are you talking about the illusionary mist?” Ye Chen was a bit confused. “It’s already good that it’s not burnt to ashes next to the fragment of Zhurong’s Spirit Pool, but it can even emit illusionary mist when it’s with the original owner?”

Although the Deep Sea Dragons had Spiritual Energy of mixed attributes, the most important thing of all was the water attribute. No matter how powerful it was, it shouldn’t be able to resist Zhurong,

“That’s right. I also find it strange. It’s as if there’s something in the secret chamber maintaining it!” Little Purple replied. “But the Fire Spiritual Energy in the secret chamber is too abundant. I can’t find out where the thing that sustains its Spiritual Energy is at all. It must have been hidden by the illusionary mist… Master, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. You’ve already done your best to find out what it is.” Ye Chen went up and stroked Little Purple and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s heads. “Don’t be too sad. I’ll think of a way to find it.”

He really didn’t expect that the sense of familiarity that Little Purple mentioned was actually from his other Divine Beasts.

“If the Titan’s Eye is difficult to see, it’s probably because the mutated beast that released the illusionary mist is much stronger than your ability,” the leader of the Feather Dragons said to Little Purple. “Your combat strength is less than 50,000, right?”

“Actually, it’ll reach 40,000 soon.” Little Purple nodded.

The leader of the Feather Dragons and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle had some similar abilities. One of them was that he could roughly see the other party’s combat strength.

“Such low combat strength, you won’t even be able to break through my Illusionary mist.” The leader of the Feather Dragons sighed. “To be placed in this array, the defense power of its illusionary mist must be at least at the Million Level. Even if the Titan’s Eye can allow you to break through the defense of ten times your combat strength to see through the disguise, your strength is a bit too weak.”

Hearing the leader of the Feather Dragons criticizing Little Purple, Ye Chen instantly started to protect it.

“Little Purple is still young. You’ve lived for almost 200 years. Don’t intimidate Little Purple with your combat strength.”

“However, its ability seems to be quite good. Under such circumstances, it can actually analyze which type of mutated beast those substances belong to.” The leader of the Feather Dragons looked at Ye Chen and continued, “If you are stronger, I have a way to help you find the hidden array center. After all, it’ll be too dangerous for your Master to learn the cultivation arts of the Ancient Divine Beasts.”

In an instant, Ye Chen reacted. The leader of the Feather Dragons was clearly thinking for him. It indirectly told Little Purple about how difficult it was to practice the cultivation art and planned to make Little Purple accept its help to share the burden and pressure.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought you were scolding Little Purple. It turns out that you just want to teach it, but are too embarrassed to say it.” He muttered and then watched as the leader of the Feather Dragons told Little Purple about its situation and new discovery under its questioning.

“Then, how can I help Master?” Little Purple asked anxiously after hearing that.

“It’s not difficult. You just have to quickly increase your combat strength to more than 50,000,” the leader of the Feather Dragons replied. “After that, we still need this beast’s help.”

After saying that, it spread one of its wings and pointed at the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.

“What can I do to help?” Seeing that it was being pointed at, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle also became active. “Senior, please tell me. I will definitely do my best to help Little Purple!”

However, the words of the leader of the Feather Dragons made its entire body tremble.

“It can see through the disguise of the Deep Sea Dragon’s remains because that item is close to Zhurong’s relic. When the illusionary mist is weakened, the thing that sustains its strength must have the remains of the Deep Sea Dragon as a disguise. By then, we can only let it swallow your bone pillar to assist with the search.” The leader of the Feather Dragons glanced at the Godly Sea Steadying Needle that was beginning to tremble and added, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll return it to you when it’s finished.”

“How are you going to return it?!” Little Purple objected first. “I do have the devouring skill, but it’s different from that of the Kun Peng. What I devour will quickly be digested by me! If that’s the case, how can Five live?!”

Ye Chen was also shocked and he quickly walked over.

“Do we really need the pillar of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to help with searching the array center? This thing is connected to its life. If it is damaged, it will really be dangerous!” He also said to the leader of the Feather Dragons.

Ye Chen could understand the thoughts of the leader of the Feather Dragons.

The thing that was maintaining the skeleton was definitely complementary to the remains of the Deep Sea Dragon. One was to replenish the Water Spiritual Energy for the other, and the other was to provide illusionary mist for hiding for both sides. If he didn’t lift the illusionary mist first, it would probably be harder than flying to the sky to find the thing that was maintaining the illusionary mist.

That was why the leader of the Feather Dragons had suggested using the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to assist in the search.

However, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s bone pillar was a part of its body. As a non-offensive mutated beast, it was rather difficult for the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to temporarily leave the bone pillar, let alone make it hand over the bone pillar and let Little Purple swallow it.

If it was a small amount of blood or a small piece of scale or skin, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle might even agree by itself. However, Ye Chen would definitely not allow it to hand over the bone pillar. He didn’t want his Divine Beasts to bear such a huge risk.

However, the determination of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle far exceeded his imagination.

“Master, I think this can be done in this way,” It suddenly said to Ye Chen, “Didn’t I obtain a new Mystical Power called the Spirit Attachment Bone? Since it can increase my defense power, it should be able to withstand Little Purple’s digestion. By then, ask Little Purple to quickly find the remains of my senior and take out my bone pillar.”

“Don’t make fun of yourself.” Ye Chen frowned and reproached. However, he heard the leader of the Feather Dragons heave a long sigh again.

“Hey, do you know how to work together?” it asked in doubt. “There are so many mutated beasts here. Don’t you know how to cooperate with each other using your abilities?”.
