292. Chapter 292: Originally from the same source?

"Damn it, my clothes!"

Su Chen said with a pained expression, but his feet moved rapidly, letting out a scream.

Right now, he looked like a refugee wandering the wilderness; the clothes on his body were burned to tatters, full of holes.

But for some reason, he always felt that the aura of this flame was very familiar, yet he couldn't recall what it was for the moment.

Running away was not a solution either; after some time, everyone clearly felt they were losing their strength, and a large river blocked their path ahead, its turbulent water churning, so the group hurriedly stopped.

Dust accidentally kicked up fell into the water and instantly bubbled away from the corrosion.

The expressions of the group were all ugly without exception; they could feel that this river water carried intense corrosiveness, and because of the restrictions of the Holy Mountain, they were completely unable to fly across on their swords.

If they wanted to cross the river, they could only wade through the water, but looking at the situation, they would be corroded into skeletons before even reaching the other side.

And those white tigers had already closed in on them, letting out bursts of hissing roars, looking at the group with extreme ferocity.

Xiaoxian was walking slowly at the back, only a few steps away from the white tigers.

Feeling their intense aura and the scorching temperature of the flames, Xiaoxian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, trying her best to lower her presence.

But unexpectedly, those white tigers bypassed Xiaoxian, as if they regarded her as one of their own, and only hissed at Su Chen and the others.

For a moment, Su Chen was completely baffled; why didn't those white tigers attack Xiaoxian?

Thinking of this, Su Chen tentatively said to Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, try attacking them."

This time, Xiaoxian didn't dare to use her kill move recklessly, only waving her claw at them.

As expected, the claw passed through their bodies; it was clear they had no physical form, but those scorching flames didn't hurt Xiaoxian in the slightest.

A thought appeared in Su Chen's mind.

Luo Shen also followed up with a reminder: "This is the territory of the Dragon Race. The Secret Realms set up here must be to resist the intrusion of outsiders. Xiaoxian is of the Dragon Race, so she was automatically classified as one of their own. Perhaps the breakthrough lies with Xiaoxian."

"That's right."

Su Chen also nodded, expressing agreement with Luo Shen's words.

"Then what should we do now? Although they don't attack Xiaoxian, it doesn't mean they won't attack us. We have nowhere left to retreat."

Lv Luo looked dejected, feeling for the first time that she was so powerless, unable to help with anything.

"Perhaps we can let Xiaoxian try to command them."

Yi Zhuyue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, looking steadily at Xiaoxian, "Have you noticed that although these white tigers still have the aura of flames, they have changed compared to before? These flames are more like Xiaoxian's."

With this reminder, Su Chen finally realized what the familiarity he felt earlier was about; the flames spat out by these white tigers were similar to Xiaoxian's, just not as powerful, but because there were so many of them, they still looked very strong.

"Xiaoxian, try commanding them."

Su Chen said.

Hearing their deduction, Xiaoxian didn't know if it was correct or not, only feeling that her brain wasn't enough to process it, but now she could only treat a dead horse as a living one.

"You guys, sit down?"

Xiaoxian said tentatively.

Hearing Xiaoxian's voice, those white tigers only hesitated for a moment, and in the end, they actually sat down obediently. It worked! Su Chen and the others looked happy, and their hanging hearts were briefly put at ease.

"Great, it works!"

Lv Luo couldn't help but say.

As soon as she finished speaking, those white tigers seemed unwilling, immediately hissing and threatening Lv Luo and the others a few times, though this time there were no substantial actions.

"Then what should we do now?"

Xiaoxian asked; even if they were temporarily out of danger, they still couldn't leave this place.

She was originally asking Su Chen, but when those white tigers heard her, they instantly stretched out their claws, eager to try, as if telling Xiaoxian to let them devour everyone.

Xiaoxian immediately glared at them and then threatened: "They are my friends! If you want to hurt them, I will eat you all!"

After hearing this, the white tigers instantly looked aggrieved and continued to lie there. They didn't know why their king wouldn't let them devour the bad guys, when clearly everyone who had come in before had been eaten without exception.

Su Chen inexplicably saw an aggrieved expression on the faces of those tigers and couldn't help but twitch his mouth, feeling that this world was ultimately insane.

He felt he must be dreaming; otherwise, how could he see such a bizarre scene?

"This river water is also strange; let's leave here first."

Natasha looked at the river behind them with worry; as a member of the Mermaid Race, she was naturally sensitive to water.

"Finally had a good sleep, King Xiao Ling is out!"

Just then, Xiao Ling suddenly yawned, its pale blue flame flickering, its tone carrying a bit of post-sleep confusion.

As a result, it saw this scene.

It didn't quite understand the situation, but as soon as it saw the white tigers in front, it instantly drooled with greed.

"Master, you are so kind. Did you find these little flames to nourish me because you saw I was too weak after I just came out?"

Xiao Ling rushed to the white tigers impatiently, looking left and right, very satisfied.

"They are transformed from the Spirit Fire Crystal of the Dragon Race; this is a great tonic for me."

Hearing this, the group was confused.

It was Luo Shen who immediately understood what this strange thing in front of them was; she couldn't help but click her tongue lightly, revealing a look of sudden realization.

Su Chen immediately cast his gaze toward Luo Shen; although he didn't speak, he used his eyes to ask what on earth these things were.

Meeting everyone's gaze, Luo Shen spoke unhurriedly: "The Spirit Fire Crystal of the Dragon Race is a great treasure of the Dragon Race. These crystals can transform into all things. They are actually a type of container; whatever Spiritual Qi they carry, they can transform into a phantom body composed of that, and they obey the master of the Spiritual Power..."

Speaking to this point, the group suddenly saw the light.

Earlier, Xiaoxian had used her Dragon Flame Fierce Fire kill move, which was effectively injecting new energy into the soul crystals, which was why these flame phantom bodies had transformed.

"But when the Mysterious Underworld Water was swallowed at the beginning, it was equivalent to a container carrying the Mysterious Underworld Water. Why did it still attack us instead of obeying Natasha, but instead obeyed Xiaoxian?"

Lv Luo couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with confusion. Normally, shouldn't it obey Natasha if it carried the Mysterious Underworld Water? (End of chapter)
