Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

As far as the eye could see, there was a radius of several dozen miles.

And beneath the enormous mountain mouth, the inverted conical chasm reached an unfathomable depth.

Countless streams of water cascaded downward.

Everywhere here were silver ores, resembling a kind of mineral.

Amidst these ores, there were fist-sized points of red light, like stars adorning the scene.

It was precisely due to these points of red light, which continuously emitted brightness, that the entire space was illuminated brilliantly, making everything clear and visible.

This was the true source of those lights at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, it was also the reason for the warmth of this space.

"What a magical space this is!"

Wang Teng marveled in his heart.

By the way, what are these silver ores?

Wang Teng curiously looked at those silver ores.

[True Flame Residue: Basic resource, the ore bed that nurtures Celestial Fire Crystal Stones!]

They can even nurture Celestial Fire Crystal Stones?

Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to inspect carefully.

At a glance, he was visibly delighted.

Only to see the expanse of silver ore beds, dotted with one Celestial Fire Crystal Stone after another, emitting a faint fiery red glow.

It turned out, the red light points he had seen earlier were actually emitted by the Celestial Fire Crystal Stones.

This space surprisingly had vast ore beds, from which Celestial Fire Crystal Stones were nurtured. Roughly estimated, there must be millions of them!

Even more wonderful was that this silver-light ore bed seemed to be able to emit high temperatures infinitely, nurturing Celestial Fire Crystal Stones.

Even if the Celestial Fire Crystal Stones here were dug clean, new ones would still continue to be nurtured.

Beneath the lake, there was such a fiery mineral land.

At this moment, Wang Teng couldn't help but marvel at the Creator's wonders.

This Inverted Flame Mountain was truly a massive treasury of Celestial Fire Crystal Stones!

Haha~!

This time I've truly struck it rich!

Wang Teng was overjoyed.

The Celestial Court was currently in dire need of Celestial Fire Crystal Stones.

He hadn't expected to discover an enormous Celestial Fire Crystal Stone mine in this place.

If he could claim this place as his own, the resource issue of Celestial Fire Crystal Stones for the Celestial Court would be completely resolved in the future.

The more Wang Teng thought about it, the more excited he became.

Thinking it over carefully, this place could directly nurture Celestial Fire Crystal Stones; the temperature must be terrifyingly high.

Yet the constant cooling effect by the water from the boundless lake had allowed him to safely enter this place.

This was indeed uniquely favorable!

After a while of excitement, Wang Teng calmed his mood.

Just then, a familiar mechanical voice delivered a message.

[Hint: The Inverted Flame Mountain is an ancient sealed land; it is extremely dangerous here!]

Ancient seal?

What's inside here?

Wang Teng had a vague sense of unease.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and continued downwards.

He was not in a hurry to collect the Celestial Fire Crystal Stones.

The space here had over a million Celestial Fire Crystal Stones, and new ones were being nurtured constantly.

Even if he wanted to collect them, it would take years to finish.

Besides, he had come here to find the mysterious figure and complete the second stage of the bounty.

After he finished the bounty, it wouldn't be too late to deal with the Celestial Fire Crystal Stones.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng continued his exploration downward.

Along the way, the space became narrower, like a funnel.

He was extremely cautious, not daring to be careless.

The mechanical voice's warning about danger here was not baseless.

A quarter of an hour later, he saw a ruined Divine Temple halfway.

At the entrance of that temple, he saw a familiar creature.

It was a turtle with a black horn on its head, a massive figure carrying a black shell—the very Black-backed Turtle King that had escaped last time.

This creature's shell was extremely hard; the Divine Inference Weapon could only cut a small crack in it.

At this moment, the turtle shell was smooth as new, and the crack was mended.

At the same time, the Turtle King also heard the commotion, coldly staring at Wang Teng. After a flash of shock in its eyes, it turned into gloating, no longer showing the panic of last time.

In its view, Wang Teng was definitely doomed this time.

For this place was its master's domain.

With its master present, even a Fifth Heaven powerhouse would suffer, let alone this young man.

The Turtle King assumed confidently.

It didn't know that after its battle with Wang Teng, Wang Teng's strength had experienced several breakthroughs, surpassing the previous time.

At the same time, after glancing indifferently at the Turtle King, Wang Teng looked to the other side.

On the other side of the temple crouched a giant beast.

It was a giant flood dragon, thirty yards long, with a single horn on its head, blood-red eyes, and entire black-patterned body, stronger in presence than the Turtle King.

[Character: Black-striped Flood Dragon King (Sea King Species)]

[Level: 44]

[Realm: Profound Tier]

[Martial Techniques: ???]

[Talent: Sea of All Rivers (B-level), Dark Harvest (B-level)]

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 35000]

[State: Manipulated]

[Origin: One of the Three Great Sea Kings of Deep Lake, tamed by a mysterious figure.]

Indeed!

This flood dragon was the strongest among the Three Great Sea Kings.

At the same time, the Flood Dragon King was also scrutinizing Wang Teng, its golden vertical pupils full of puzzlement.

It recognized Wang Teng was merely a Level 18 human, still at the Yellow Tier realm.

Yet this human had killed the Level 37 Giant-tooth Shark King and driven away the Level 39 Black-backed Turtle King.

The Shark King and Turtle King were truly worthless!

Watch how it destroys this human!

"Roar~!"

A low growl!

The Flood Dragon King invoked the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Instantly, the waterfall above exploded, and countless Water Primordial Qi surged into its body.

Its aura soared, reaching 49,000 points, directly reaching the peak of the Fourth Heaven.

"Roar~!"

Seeing this, the Black-backed Turtle King also invoked the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The descending lake water surrounded its body, and its combat power instantly reached 40,000 points.

The two Sea King Species rapidly entered combat mode, and a great battle was about to erupt.

Right at this moment, a cold voice emerged from the Divine Temple.

"Human~! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

With those words, the originally ferocious two Sea King Species immediately calmed down, docilely retreating to the sides of the temple.

At the same time, a mysterious man in a black robe emerged from the hall...
