Chapter 248: The Mysterious Invisible Flame Serpent!
Chapter 248: The Mysterious Invisible Flame Serpent!
Following that, the space about two meters above the hole suddenly entered a state of extreme distortion. However, despite the severe distortion of space, ordinary people couldn't see anything with the naked eye, except for those twisted spaces and the continuous "hissing" sounds. The whole area seemed somewhat eerie due to this scene.
Soon, this commotion caught the attention of Elder Liu, who was relatively close to this place.
"Elder Gu, it's dangerous, get away from there!"
Elder Liu shouted loudly and then quickly made his way towards the location.
Hearing Elder Liu's warning, Gu He, in order not to reveal his strength, took a few steps back.
When Elder Liu arrived near Gu He and looked at the distorted space, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. Although he couldn't see what was there, having served as the tower guardian elder for so many years, he had vaguely heard about some things. Thus, he also knew how terrifying the thing within the deep darkness was.
Elder Liu might not be able to see it, but that didn't mean Gu He couldn't. At this moment, under Gu He's powerful soul perception, what surged up from the endless darkness was a massive invisible flame serpent, about ten meters thick and hundreds of meters long.
The flame serpent was enveloped in somewhat distorted flames, its huge mouth wide open, with fangs as thick as an adult's thigh emitting a twisted fluctuation. Its pair of large triangular eyes continuously shot out invisible flames.
With a roar of anger, the flame serpent shot out from the darkness. However, just as it was about to reach about five meters above the dark hole, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently.
At that moment, the space around the hole bizarrely twisted to form a spatial cage. Despite the flame serpent's immense momentum, when it collided with the spatial cage, it only caused the cage to fluctuate for a while without any other effect.
Realizing that a breakthrough was hopeless, the flame serpent became somewhat frenzied. Invisible flames poured out from its huge mouth, covering the sky and burning the spatial cage. Unfortunately, no matter how it burned, the spatial cage remained firmly in place.
After struggling madly for a while, the invisible flame serpent finally seemed exhausted. It let out a roar filled with rage, then the space continuously twisted, and the serpent turned back into the invisible, diving back into the depths of the dark hole.
As the flame serpent disappeared, the spatial cage gradually faded until it finally vanished.
"Tsk tsk, it has already condensed a flame spirit with emotions and intelligence!" Feeling the aura of the invisible flame serpent, Gu He inwardly exclaimed: "Such intelligence is comparable to some seventh-rank magical beasts that can transform into human forms!"
The flame spirit Gu He mentioned is a different kind of life born from pure flames.
"Thank you, Elder Gu!" Hearing Gu He's words, Elder Liu's expression eased somewhat. Once again, he glanced apprehensively at the deep, bottomless hole before turning to leave.
Following Elder Liu's steps, Gu He also left the central area of the tower.
"Elder Gu, do you want to continue down to the lower levels?" At the entrance connecting to the second floor, Elder Liu paused.
"There's no need. I was merely curious about the tower's effect on accelerating cultivation. But it seems to be of no use to me!" Gu He shook his head.
"Haha, Elder Gu is right. At our level, the high temperature inside the tower indeed has little effect!" Elder Liu laughed heartily.
"Elder Liu!"
Suddenly, a faint, cool voice rang in the ears of Gu He and Elder Liu.
Gu He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young woman dressed in a silver gown. She was tall, with a slightly slender face that bore a rare beauty. Her skin was as white as snow, her features were like a painting, and most surprisingly, her waist-length hair was a rare silver. The silver hair, matched with her silver gown, emanated a distant and cold temperament, making her seem as if she was to be admired from afar but not to be disrespected.
Seeing this figure, Gu He immediately guessed the identity of the woman.
