Chapter 1187: Fire Spirit Mine (two in one)

“This is…” Mi Jiala looked down, her voice filled with surprise and uncertainty, “A fire spirit ore vein?”

“What’s a fire spirit ore vein?” Qiao Sang asked.

Every planet has different ores and materials. Before she came to Yan Tian Star, she only knew about the Pets on this planet and wasn’t particularly familiar with some items and materials.

Mi Jiala gazed at the scene below, took a deep breath, and said:

“It’s an ore vein with a large amount of fire spirit crystals.”

She paused, then explained:

“Fire spirit crystals are ores only found on Yan Tian Star, S-Class material for Fire-type items. They are extremely difficult to smelt and contain pure Fire-type energy. If a Fire-type Pet absorbs them, their energy will greatly increase. If…”

At this point, Mi Jiala stopped.

“If what?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

Mi Jiala said in a deep voice:

“Fire spirit crystals contain a large amount of pure Fire-type energy, but this energy is extremely unstable. If a Pet absorbs it improperly, or if the exterior of the fire spirit crystal is stimulated in some way, a powerful explosion will occur.”

“I once heard that a Flying-type Pet, while passing through a certain racial territory, threw down a fire spirit crystal. I don’t know exactly what happened, but the fire spirit crystal exploded in that race’s territory, directly destroying an entire mountain peak.”

A single fire spirit crystal actually destroyed an entire mountain peak… Qiao Sang was greatly alarmed.

If the fire spirit ore vein, which formed so many fire spirit crystals, were to all explode, wouldn’t it wipe out the nearby provinces?

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao understood and was so scared that he instantly teleported several hundred meters into the sky.

Then, seeing that her Yu Beast Master, Ya, and her younger brother were all motionless, he teleported back with an embarrassed expression, as if he had never teleported at all.

“Hasn’t anyone discovered this fire spirit ore vein?” Qiao Sang asked.

Although fire spirit crystals sounded dangerous, they could be used as S-Class Fire-type item materials and could greatly increase the energy of Fire-type Pets. No matter how you looked at it, they possessed extremely high value and shouldn’t be left abandoned here.

Besides, there were so many fire spirit crystals that they were surfacing; it was impossible for no one to notice them.

Mi Jiala fell silent; she also didn’t know what the situation was.

“Xia Xia.”

At this moment, the colorful bud Xia La La called out, indicating that if he wasn’t mistaken, this was a territory that Li Ou Yas had once claimed.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure translated in her mind.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “A territory claimed by Li Ou Yas?”

“Xia Xia.” The colorful bud Xia La La nodded.

Pen Jiami and Dragon King didn’t actively help translate, but Mi Jiala heard Qiao Sang’s words and deduced what Xia La La from a hundred years ago was saying. She couldn’t help but ponder:

“Fire spirit crystals are materials only produced on Yan Tian Star, but no one knows how they are produced. Could it be that the production of fire spirit crystals is related to Li Ou Yas?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang felt it was very reasonable.

After all, things like true fire crystal and li fire crystal were all produced from Pets.

“Xia Xia.”

“Xia Xia.”

The colorful bud Xia La La looked at Mi Jiala, nodded, and called out twice, indicating that her guess was correct. Fire spirit crystals were actually Li Ou Yas’s tears. Because he didn’t want humans and other races to know he would cry, Li Ou Yas specifically went to the Yu Shou Alliance and forbade them from spreading this matter. Thus, humans and other races didn’t know how fire spirit crystals were produced.

“Mo Mo.”

Dragon King glanced at her Yu Beast Master and called out.

Xia La La finally praised you. Are you happy now?

Mi Jiala: “…”

No, she didn’t even know what Xia La La was saying…

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate in her mind.

Fire spirit crystals were actually Li Ou Yas’s tears… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, looking at the dense red glow emanating from the ground, her expression filled with surprise.

Was Li Ou Yas really that prone to crying?

She couldn’t tell at all!

Then she thought of something, and her expression suddenly became complicated.

When Li Ou Yas previously learned about herself and Xia La La, he might have been holding back tears the entire time and specifically left because he didn’t want them to see him crying.

And this place was where Li Ou Yas chose to cry.

“Xia Xia.”

As her thoughts flickered, the colorful bud Xia La La called out again, indicating that Li Ou Yas’s tears had to be exposed to high temperatures for over three months to possibly produce fire spirit crystals, which was why he said this might be a territory Li Ou Yas had once claimed.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was:

Oh, so he didn’t cry recently.

Her second thought was: Good heavens, Li Ou Yas really knows how to cry…

“What did Xia La La say?” Mi Jiala finally asked, seeing Qiao Sang’s expression change several times.

Before Pen Jiami could speak, Qiao Sang acted as translator and said:

“It said that fire spirit crystals are actually Li Ou Yas’s tears…”

She rattled off the information Xia La La had given her.

…Mi Jiala was silent for over ten seconds, digesting the news.

In her impression, legendary divine Pets should be powerful, mysterious, and omnipotent, capable of causing devastating disasters with even a slight show of force.

She had never imagined that a legendary divine Pet would actually cry, and cry so much…

Mi Jiala looked at the red firelight emanating from the ground below, her mood very complex for a moment.

Since this was a territory Li Ou Yas had once claimed, it was easy to understand why no one was mining the fire spirit ore vein here.

Even if he left later, because he had cried, fire spirit crystals might be produced here three months later, so even after he left, he forbade humans and other Pets from approaching here, even though everyone didn’t know that fire spirit crystals were his tears.

“Ya Ya?”

After hearing the conversation, Ya had no interest in fire spirit crystals at all. He couldn’t help but call out, asking where Li Ou Yas was. Which direction should he chase now?

“Xia Xia.”

The colorful bud Xia La La calmly called out, indicating that there was no need to chase; he was right here.

With that, his eyes glowed green.

The next second, a red hemispherical barrier suddenly appeared below.

Through the barrier, one could clearly see Li Ou Yas, who had already removed his leaf disguise item, inside.

He was eating fire spirit crystals while looking up at Xia La La, an expression of “Why do you tell everyone everything?” on his face.

Li Ou Yas! Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

She never imagined that Li Ou Yas would be right under their noses.

A legendary divine Pet was indeed a legendary divine Pet; a casual barrier release made him completely undetectable, and even Teacher Mi Jiala and Pen Jiami hadn’t noticed him at all.

If it weren’t for Xia La La, she probably wouldn’t have been able to find Li Ou Yas no matter how hard she searched… Qiao Sang sighed with genuine emotion, deeply feeling the power gap between herself and a divine Pet.

Mi Jiala, on the other hand, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Since becoming an S-Class Beast Master, she had never encountered a situation where she couldn’t even detect a barrier.

Is this the power of a divine Pet…

“Ya Ya!”

Just as Mi Jiala was filled with surprise and uncertainty, Ya showed an excited expression and rushed downwards.

Li Ou Yas took a mouthful of fire spirit crystals at a time and did not leave.

“Ya Ya!”

After landing, Ya showed a dissatisfied expression and immediately called out in a questioning tone, asking why he had secretly left.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was startled beside him, wiping away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Oh, his big brother Ya, this was a divine Pet, a single tear of whom could destroy a racial territory. How dare he speak to him like that…

Despite thinking this, Xiao Xunbao’s admiration for Ya once again rose to a certain height.

Li Ou Yas glanced at Ya, ignored him, and then called out to the colorful bud Xia La La with a helpless expression:

“Li Li.”

It’s been three days, why are you still chasing me? We’re going to die soon; you should be thinking about how to avoid death, not following others to ask me for li fire crystal.

“Reli…”

Reli Roka, who was standing next to Lu Bao, instantly had tears welling up in his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Exactly, exactly.

“Xia Xia?”

The colorful bud Xia La La calmly called out, indicating, “Do you have li fire crystal now?”

Li Ou Yas was silent for a moment, then spread his claws.

A massive, irregularly shaped orange crystal suddenly appeared.

Holy crap, li fire crystal?! Qiao Sang was stunned, then exclaimed happily:

“You finally produced your… secretions!”

Seeing this, Mi Jiala also felt a surge of joy.

Their purpose in traversing was for the crystal in Li Ou Yas’s claw at this moment.

“Ya Ya!”

As soon as her Yu Beast Master spoke, Ya immediately understood what this thing was. He wagged his tail wildly, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement, and called out to Li Ou Yas with an expression of “Give it to me, give it to me quickly.”

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas glanced at Ya, then curled his lips into a smile and called out, indicating, “Why should I give it to you?”

Ya was stunned.

Wasn’t this what everyone had agreed upon?

If he didn’t give it… Ya’s tail stopped wagging, and his gaze fell on the orange crystal. He began to consider the possibility of successfully leaving after taking it.

This little fellow actually wants to snatch it… Li Ou Yas saw through Ya’s intention, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he encountered someone who dared to snatch something from him.

“Xia Xia.”

Just as he was thinking, the colorful bud Xia La La calmly called out.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas’s body stiffened, then he reluctantly threw the li fire crystal in Ya’s direction.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao instantly teleported and caught the li fire crystal.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya’s eyes lit up, and his tail started wagging again. He called out, indicating that it must be kept safe.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating no problem, then took off his ring, carefully found a box, put it in, and then put the ring back on.

The li fire crystal, just like that, was in hand… Qiao Sang felt a strange sense of unreality.

In her imagination, even if they found Li Ou Yas, it would take some effort to make him produce eye secretions. She never expected that before using all her various methods, the li fire crystal would be obtained so simply…

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, looked at Li Ou Yas, and said solemnly:

“Thank you.”

If Li Ou Yas truly didn’t want to give the li fire crystal, he wouldn’t have specifically kept it and then taken it out to show them.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya looked at Li Ou Yas, wagging his tail, and called out happily.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas continued to eat fire spirit crystals while calling out, indicating that he was only doing it for Xia La La’s sake, and since they had already obtained the li fire crystal, they should leave quickly.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure translated in her mind.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time, then said with some hesitation: “But I don’t know how to get back…”

Li Ou Yas paused his eating and looked over.

Qiao Sang said:

“It was Shi Pan Te who brought us here, but we don’t know where he is now.”

“Li Li?”

Li Ou Yas called out with an expression that looked at an idiot.

You didn’t even leave contact information?

Do you think I don’t want to?… Qiao Sang explained: “He disappeared when he sent us here.”

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas called out impatiently, indicating that they shouldn’t follow him then.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said seriously:

“I know you want to change the outcome now. We are from a hundred years later and know more than you, so perhaps we can help you with something then.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya showed a serious expression and called out, indicating that he would do anything needed.

Li Ou Yas fell silent.

“Xia Xia.”

The colorful bud Xia La La called out to him.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas turned his head away, started eating fire spirit crystals, and called out, indicating, “Do as you please.”

Qiao Sang asked:

“Why did you leave?”

“Li Li.”

This question was too sudden. Li Ou Yas was stunned for a moment, then called out, indicating, “What does it have to do with you?”

What time is it, and he still won’t say anything… Qiao Sang sighed and said:

“Only by understanding the situation can we possibly find a solution.”

“Li Li?”

Li Ou Yas looked over, showing a mocking expression, and called out.

Just you guys?

“Xia Xia.”

The colorful bud Xia La La floated up, calling out with a serious expression.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia La La, in the form of Fresh Fresh Grass, showed a worried expression, then called out, indicating, “Just say it.”

Although he wasn’t very familiar with the Li Ou Yas in front of him, Xia La La thought of the sorrowful spiritual body in the cave as soon as he saw him.

Li Ou Yas looked at this Xia La La, then at that Xia La La, remained silent for a long time, and then called out twice:

“Li Li.”

“Li Li.”

It’s nothing, he just thought that he was absolutely impossible to die, nor could he die because of some fiery meteor. Unless the problem was with himself, so they’d better not follow him.

Mi Jiala looked at Pen Jiami, then at Dragon King, and finally at Qiao Sang.

After Qiao Sang translated Li Ou Yas’s words in a deep voice, she asked:

“Is there something wrong with your body?”

Li Ou Yas was about to mock, but Qiao Sang continued:

“Lu Bao has Healing Light. If there’s any problem, he can Heal you.”

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao, who had been silent, called out.

Li Ou Yas put away his mocking expression. He could tell that the human and the unfamiliar Pets in front of him genuinely wanted to help him.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas called out.

He has no problems right now.

Mi Jiala looked at Qiao Sang.

“He said he has no problems right now.” Qiao Sang finished translating, then asked: “Then why did you return to Zhengzhou and come here?”

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Yas called out while eating fire spirit crystals.

He didn’t know anything about Zhengzhou or not Zhengzhou; he just felt that he might need to become stronger, remembered that there were a bunch of fire spirit crystals here, and so he came back.

Can fire spirit crystals actually make even a divine Pet stronger?… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, looking at the dense red firelight emanating from the ground. (End of Chapter)
