Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 258 His Flame and Temperature

Chen Xu used his magic to suppress the wine jar from a distance.

The faint voice on the cliff was still babbling: "You should release those sword insects quickly. Don't you know, if the sword insects die, all the green needle grass will die."

If all the Jade Needle Grass dies, then everyone will have no way to obtain this miraculous medicine anymore.

"And those sword worms are really powerful. If they break through the wine jar, you're in big trouble..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xu gently blew on the wine jar.

Then a ball of orange-red flame leaped and landed around the wine jar.

A moment later, a delicate flame flickered and began to rise.

Hula la——

Unbeknownst to the faint voices on the cliff, as the flames heated the wine jar, the sword insects that had been ramming inside gradually stopped their assault, swaying from side to side.

In addition to the continuous low, shrill cries of the sword insects, Chen Xu also heard the sound of the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book being opened.

[Like +1+1+1…]

This is really interesting.

It turns out that although these sword insects do not possess complete intelligence, they are, after all, a unique species and belong to the category of demons.

So much so that when these sword insects fell into the wine jar and became intoxicated and delighted by the wine, their shrieks automatically turned into a thumbs-up for Chen Xu.

Although each shriek only gets you a "like +1", there are just enough sword bugs to go around.

In a short period of time, Chen Xu had accumulated 913 likes.

This was both an unexpected delight and a sudden inspiration from Chen Xu.

If it weren't for testing whether these sword insects could give a thumbs up, Chen Xu would have already set them on fire and burned them to ashes.

His karmic fire could burn even someone like Granny Zhu, who was at the Core Formation stage, at will. Although the sword worm in front of him was also powerful, it could not be said to surpass the Core Formation stage.

Finally, the shaking of the wine jar stopped completely, and the sword insects inside were drunk and completely passed out in the jar.

The faint voice on the cliff cried out "Ah!" three times in a row. The first time it was in surprise, the second time it was puzzled, and the third time it came to an abrupt end.

The "Ah" sound, tinged with utter astonishment, faded away halfway through.

Wow!
The little hedgehog swiftly burrowed to Chen Xu's side, then rushed out and stood beside him, arms crossed and feet stomping.

"It's so cold, Brother Chen, I'm so cold..."

Wei Yuan trembled, his soft thorns stood on end, and even the tips of the thorns were covered with a layer of frost.

"Huh!" The voice from the cliff finally spoke again, "You used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping through the earth), yet you still managed to come out from underground. Don't you know that earth-遁 is not allowed by the Emerald Needle Cold Pool?"

Your earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a powerful technique) is also very strong...

Chen Xu was shocked. He had just used the Wind Summoning Technique to catch the sword worm and put it into the wine jar. It all seemed like a long story, but it all happened in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xu dealt with the sword insect, but unexpectedly, Wei Yuan emerged from the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic technique) covered in frost and was freezing cold.

Chen Xu quickly reached out his hand and said, "A Yuan, come into my arms."

As he spoke, a tiny, soft flame, almost devoid of heat, appeared in his palm.

This demonstrates Chen Xu's precise control over flames after his fire control technique reached level three.

Fire is said to rise upwards, and its essence is actually a kind of intense heat energy.

Since it is hot energy, Chen Xu should be able to control its temperature.

Currently, Chen Xu cannot use fire control to raise the temperature of the flames too high because he does not yet possess the strength to exceed his limits. However, he can control the flames to make them relatively mild, so that they are hot but not harmful to his body.

This kind of precise control is not unskillful, and it may not be inferior to the ability to control the excessive temperature rise of a flame.

Sometimes, restraint and control are even more difficult than release.

Therefore, Chen Xu has always been very confident in his fire control techniques.

He held the Wei Yuan in his palm with a flame, warming it and warding off the cold.

On the cliff, the delicate voice cried out "Oh dear!" again, saying, "You know fire magic? Your fire magic is good, but using fire to keep warm is like being both hot and cold; it will actually crack your demon body..."

"Hey, you don't have it!"

On the cliff, a series of misjudgments, coupled with Chen Xu's complete silence, finally annoyed the voice, which stopped speaking.

Where Chen Xu's naked eye could not reach, on a high cliff, about twenty or thirty feet away from the icy waterfall, a sika deer with its head slightly raised stamped its foot in frustration beside a boulder.

It stomped its feet, angry at itself and at Chen Xu. But not knowing what it was angry at Chen Xu for, it could only sulk in silence.

A snow-white, long-haired rabbit squatted beside a sika deer, its long ears perked up, its red eyes darting around, as it tried to persuade the sika deer: "Sister Deer, why aren't you saying anything?"

If you don't speak, how can we ask that person for more green needle grass?

The sika deer said angrily, "Even when I speak, that person ignores me. How could he possibly give me emerald needle grass?"

"Then, then let's remind him a few more times," the rabbit said anxiously.

The sika deer stamped its feet and hummed softly, "No, I won't say anything more. Unless he's in danger again, or dares to go down into the icy pool, I will definitely not talk to him again."

"Anyone who talks to him isn't a deer!"

The rabbit had no choice but to lie down and peer through the gap between the boulder and the grass to continue observing Chen Xu below.

The emerald needle grass by the cold pool is actually coveted by countless little demons in the mountains.

Unfortunately, the green needle grass is very difficult to pick, and it is easily injured by sword insects.

Even though the demons wanted to gather herbs, whenever they came to the edge of the icy pool, they were either frozen to death or injured by sword insects. Over time, the area around the icy pool became a small forbidden zone.

No matter how tempting the Emerald Needle Grass was, the demons dared not easily set their sights on it.

Furthermore, these sword insects live alongside the green needle grass; if the sword insects die, the green needle grass will also die immediately.

With such multiple layers of protection, who would dare to pick this green needle grass again?
Even ordinary wild beasts in the mountains, whose intelligence is not yet developed, often know to avoid the area around the cold pool, knowing that this place should not be visited lightly.

This is why, when Chen Xu suddenly stepped onto the edge of the cold pool, he only saw a lush green area but no other living creatures.

Chen Xu was still unaware of the specific reasons, but based on the few words spoken above the cliff and the events he had just experienced, he could make a general judgment about the situation around the cold pool.

Chen Xu held the little hedgehog in his hands and used his fire control technique to warm it.

A moment later, the frost on Wei Yuan's spikes disappeared.

Its erect spikes gradually softened.

After a moment, Wei Yuan's trembling body stopped shaking. It suddenly exhaled, and a wisp of icy blue cold air shot out like a thin thread.

Wei Yuan was startled, but fortunately Chen Xu moved to the side and caught the little hedgehog in time to avoid the icy thread.

This was so abrupt; Wei Yuan had absolutely no intention of harming Chen Xu.

It looked at Chen Xu with an indescribable panic.
