Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Fire Spiritual Power that Lost its Effectiveness!

The fire was still burning.

This time, Lu Chen poured out all the Spiritual Liquid from the jade bottle, not a single drop left!

He had filled many such bottles in the Fire Marshland before.

But in the mines, to prevent the array spirits from ambushing, he had poured a lot into the Path of Life and Death, thus depleting quite a bit.

And these Spiritual Liquids, after coming out from the Path of Life and Death, eventually landed on top of the heavy water, forming a peculiar dual-layered miraculous lake!

At this moment, Lu Chen also remembered that the Spiritual Liquid...

It seemed to have lost its effect!

He could still feel that it was Spiritual Liquid, but it was different from the sensation in the Fire Marshland!

He didn’t think too much about it, just feeling that once the Spiritual Liquid left the jade bottle, it lost its effect, or there might be other reasons.

Right now, he was more curious to see if Liu Ruyan had been burned to ashes!

Liu Ruyan was full of tricks.

To ensure his own safety, he had to make sure that if she was alive, she was seen, and if she was dead, her body was found!

At this time, the flames were also gradually subsiding, which was when Lu Chen slowly approached.

If he still had his body full of Fire Spiritual Power, he wouldn’t have been worried.

But after leaving the mines, and being in the heavy water, he had converted all his Spiritual Power into Water Spirit Power, in order to better adapt to this realm.

So, he could only wait for the flames to slowly die down before approaching.

But after taking just a few steps, Lu Chen’s complexion changed suddenly!

The warmth brought by the firelight was still there, but it was quite different from the first time he burned Liu Ruyan!

If it was said that in the Fire Marshland before, the fire scorched like it was in a place devoid of people, continuously rising in temperature to harm Liu Ruyan...

Then now, it was more like the fire burned through once, without any sustained damage!

"This fire is not right!"

Lu Chen’s expression changed, and he quickly used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to look towards the center of the flames!

There were no remains, not a trace!

Liu Ruyan...

had escaped!

"How could this Spiritual Liquid Fire suddenly become powerless?"

Lu Chen was baffled and extremely perplexed.

He had always carried the jade bottle with him, and since coming out of the mines, he hadn’t used it much.

How could it suddenly lose its effect?

The key point was, Liu Ruyan seemed to have been unharmed to the extent that she had run away without him realizing!

Now, was Liu Ruyan lurking in the dark, or had she really escaped?

Lu Chen didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, rushed to retrieve his long spear, and then began to scan his surroundings.

After seeing no signs of movement, he then observed the ground with caution.

Indeed, he saw a set of faint footprints!

The toes pointed outward; Liu Ruyan had clearly fled in that direction!

"Damn it!"

Lu Chen cursed under his breath, then stood in place, turning around continuously, alert and guarded.

Qin Yaotiao was tending to Shang Xiu’s injuries and couldn’t be disturbed.

And Xiao Hei was also assimilating the Flood Dragon Demon Pill; likewise, it could not be approached.

But unfortunately, this human and snake were situated on opposite sides, leaving Lu Chen to stand in the middle as a compromise between the two.

However, after a duration of time equivalent to a cup of tea, when there was still no movement, Lu Chen began to relax slightly.

Liu Ruyan hadn’t launched a sneak attack and thus wouldn’t return in a short period of time, leading him to start pondering why the Spiritual Liquid had encountered this issue!

He took out the jade bottle, which was empty.

Lu Chen was slightly stunned, smacking his forehead with chagrin, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have used up all the Spiritual Liquid here!"

He sighed; using up all the Spiritual Liquid to no effect was worse than keeping some to see what could happen next.

But now, unless he went back down to the mines to investigate the Spiritual Liquid on top of the heavy water, he might discover a clue.

But what was the point?

There was no point.

Lu Chen smiled wryly, using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and casually glanced into the distance.

Above the desolate island, the Spiritual Energy was still very abundant.

But only, there was a lack of the red color that represented Fire Spiritual Power!

A flash of insight crossed Lu Chen’s mind!

"Could it be... that because there’s no Fire Spiritual Power here, that’s why my Fire Spirit Liquid became ineffective?"

At that moment, when he stood at the exit of the mines, he had also taken a look.

Indeed, there was no Fire Spiritual Power here, and that was what prompted him to convert all his Spiritual Power into Water Spirit Power...

Reflecting on it now, Lu Chen felt it was very likely!

As for why the fire bird talisman had been so powerful, it was simply because the talisman itself was infused with Spiritual Power and didn’t need the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth!

"I think I understand," recalling his experiences upon entering the forbidden land, Lu Chen was discerning a pattern!

"This place is predominated by Water Spirit Power; naturally, water must be needed! Spear techniques using Water Spirit Power simply can’t produce any effect, but what if I use this jade bottle... to absorb enough water into it?"

Clutching the empty jade bottle, Lu Chen suddenly had a brand new idea!
