Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Chapter 101 – The Strange Ice Fire Beetle Race

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Ye Chen had already decided that he wanted to save the Immortal Phoenix, he didn’t rashly touch the problematic cultivation art. Instead, he opened the data panel.

Firstly, he wanted to ensure the safety of the Immortal Phoenix through the system. Secondly, he wanted to see everyone’s current combat strength.

The Immortal Phoenix’s data was still in the data panel. There were no abnormalities, which meant that it was temporarily safe.

After the cultivation this time, the values of Ye Chen and the five mutated beasts increased.

After absorbing the blood of the Planet-Grade beast, the Kun Peng and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s values had each increased by more than 3,000. Little Purple, who had absorbed three portions of blood, had the most increase. Its attack and defense power had both increased by more than 10,000,

comparable to the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng in the Growth Period.

Compared to them, Monkey’s value seemed a little pitiful. Because of the suppression of the Primitive Burial Ground, the absorption of Spiritual Energy of it and the Immortal Phoenix wasn’t quite smooth. Each of their values only increased by more than 1,000 and its current values were only equal to

those of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.

‘There was no advancement in its maturity and it didn’t get new cultivation arts. At the same time, it wasn’t a water-type mutated beast… This made Ye Chen hesitate. Was it really safe to bring Monkey with an unmatched attribute into the third level of the dangerous Mystic Realm?

However, pondering for a short while, Ye Chen decided to bring Monkey into the Mystic Realm as well.

First of all, Monkey wasn’t a water-type beast. However, it cultivated a cultivation art that could increase its combat strength by ten times and had a combination skill with the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. This made up for the deficiencies in terms of attributes.

Secondly, Monkey had several experiences of helping Ye Chen break out when they were under siege. If he didn’t take it with him to the rescue because its combat strength was temporarily behind, Ye Chen was afraid that it would hurt its pride.

Therefore, he didn’t say anything to Monkey. Instead, he asked the Kun Peng, “Idiot, you’ve sensed the Mystic Realm from the key in the cultivation art tablet? Did you discover any characteristics?”

‘The Kun Peng thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, the suction force of the Mystic Realm was very strong. I was almost sucked away.”

Ye Chen nodded and turned to Little Purple.

“Little Purple, according to the Wasteland Remembrance, the area below the second level of the Mystic Realm will be much larger than the previous ones. You got the cultivation arts just now, so you will take the lead in exploring. We will stand on your body and enter together. Is that alright?”

Currently, he was only sure that Little Purple wouldn’t be affected by this strange cultivation art. If everyone touched the cultivation art one by one and were thrown into different places in the Mystic Realm, that would be terrible. Therefore, this arrangement was the most reasonable at the moment.

Little Purple immediately agreed. After making the arrangements, Ye Chen stood on Little Purple’s head with the mutated beasts. While they were holding the horns tightly, Little Purple picked up the cultivation art tablet with the tip of its tail and placed it in front of the giant eye on its forehead.

Inan instant, the contents of the Ice Fire Armor surged into Little Purple’s mind. It followed the guidance of the cultivation art and circulated its Spiritual Energy. A layer of white frost formed on its body and the surrounding ground started to freeze.

“Master, do you know what kind of Mystic Realm is behind this cultivation art? It already gets so cold when learning the cultivation art. I wonder what the Mystic Realm is like!” Monkey asked. Since the cold air was too strong, it couldn’t help but get close to the furry Kun Peng.

“It should be the third level of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. It’s normal for it to be cold,” Ye Chen replied. He already had a water-type constitution, so this coldness didn’t affect him too much.

“Ice Fire Beetle Race? Is this Mystic Realm formed by dual-type mutated beasts?” The Kun Peng asked.

“The Ice Fire Beetles are water-type mutated beasts. They only like to live near a volcanic island. They seem to be a type of Divine Beast with especially high defense power.” Ye Chen recalled the records in the Wasteland Remembrance and explained.

“Water-type beasts that live next to the volcano. Are they looking for suffering?” The Kun Peng asked curiously.

The Godly Sea Steadying Needle coiled around Little Purple’s horn immediately reached its tail out and slapped the Kun Peng in displeasure.

“Idiot, the Godly Sea Steadying Needle’s race lives near the underwater volcano and is in charge of holding the lava in. Of course, it would be unhappy when you said that.” Ye Chen explained with a smile when he saw the Kun Peng’s confused expression.

Of course, he didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what the Kun Peng said. It was really hard for it to understand why the Ice Fire Beetle race would deliberately live beside the volcano to train their defense power.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

“If the Ice Fire Beetles live near a volcanic island, will there be a volcano near the Mystic Realm as well?”

At this moment, he felt a white light flash in front of him. A huge ice shield suddenly covered Ye Chen and the four mutated beasts in it. Then, a strong suction force sucked them into the cultivation art tablet.

As Little Purple learned the Ice Fire Armor, the key opened.

‘After a moment of dizziness, Ye Chen’s eyes opened wide.

It was almost pitch-black in front of his eyes. Other than the light of the few Divine Beasts, only a system notification was lit.
