Shen Hong handed the water bag over to Jiang Bufan and said, "This is my rainwater. It was originally meant to be used for alchemy, what do you think I should do with this water?"

Jiang Bufan took the water bag and weighed it in his hand, "For rootless water, the best is still dew on the flower leaves."

"Can't this water do it?"

"Fine, fine. I've said that everything depends on the time and the people. Although we can't calculate the time, it should be close to the afternoon." Holding the water bag in his hand, Jiang Bufan walked in front of the compass and placed the pointer on the position of C'mon, then he heard the compass start to turn and the compass began to spin faster and faster. The space in the middle of the compass started to spin and a hole of fire with a diameter of half a meter appeared in the middle of the compass.

The flame immediately weakened upon contact with the rain, congealing into a torch sized fire spark. The fire spark did not move, as if it had solidified. The fire spark slowly rose up, reaching a height of three meters as it floated in the air.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock as they saw this strange phenomenon. They discovered that the spark was not stationary, but was slowly growing. In the end, it looked like a giant torch.

"Look, what's in that fire?" The green-eyed dwarf shouted.

He was the first one to see what was inside. It was a round ball, a spinning ball.

"Could it be that the divine bead is in a burning flame?" Shen Hong also saw a faintly discernible round ball.

"Miss Shen, the fire from that big torch has already congealed. It's like ice. When the water gets extremely cold, it becomes ice. When the fire gets hot, it congeals into scorching."

"Roasted? Do you mean that fire can solidify as well? It's incredible. "

"Chief, what should we do now? Should we destroy that divine bead?" Xu Dazhi was eager to give it a try.

"Save your strength. The condensed fire is dozens of times harder than the condensed ice, do you think your strength is stronger? Even if your sledgehammer were to smash on it, it would only be like moths to a flame. " The green-eyed dwarf sneered.

Shen Hong was skeptical of the green-eyed dwarf's words. She knew that the green-eyed dwarf liked to brag. She extended her arm and swung out the crescent scimitar. She used around 60 to 70% of her strength.

The crescent scimitar flew over like lightning. It drew an arc in the air and formed a wave of air, smashing the surrounding air into tiny water droplets. With such speed, even steel would be able to penetrate through.

With a crisp clank, the crescent shaped scimitar struck the large torch. It flashed a white light and then spun back.

There were no marks on the surface of the giant torch. It was as solid as a rock. Shen Hong now believed the green-eyed dwarf's words.

"Opening something like this cannot be done by brute force. It requires a lot of skill." Jiang Bufan said.

"Constable Jiang, do you mean that this thing has a flaw?" Shen Hong asked happily.

"I think that there must be a mechanism, but …"

"But what?"

"However, if we were to open it, we might not be able to control it. At that time, it will be a disaster."

When Shen Hong heard Jiang Bufan's words, she knew that this matter was of great importance. They had been walking back and forth in this large karst cave for several times, and if they were to come across another mechanism, releasing something even more vicious, then who knew what would happen.

But on the other hand, if they did not activate the mechanism and the divine bead did not appear, they would not be able to break it. Even if it was dangerous, they still had to give it a try. Now, there was Jiang Bufan by her side. Although his martial arts were not as good as Meng Xiaodie's, but among these people, including her and the green-eyed dwarf, he was much stronger than them. Moreover, even if there were many dangers lurking around, he would still risk his life to destroy the divine bead.

When she thought of this, Shen Hong felt relieved. She asked Jiang Feifan, "Can you unlock the mechanism of that thing?"

Jiang Bufan once again circled around the giant torch and, while performing a supreme lightness skill, jumped into the air. It was as if he was stepping on air. After circling around the torch once, he gently landed on the ground.

"How is it? Have you found any flaws?" Shen Hong asked with concern.

"Not at the moment. This torch looks like an iron wall with no cracks on it. When I get near it, it looks like I'm being roasted by raging flames.

"Of course. The water is frozen to the bone, and the fire is scorching. It's dozens of times hotter than fire." The green-eyed dwarf said.

"So you're saying we can't open this shell?" Shen Hong said.

The green-eyed dwarf winked at Shen Hong, then pointed at Jiang Feifan, "That chivalrous hero has an idea."

"Green Eyed Dwarf, don't provoke me. I know you are an expert that has activated a mechanism. Why don't you go up and try?" Jiang Bufan pointed at the giant torch and tilted his head towards the green-eyed dwarf.

"If you go up, you can go up. You can ask Miss Shen, which mechanism wasn't activated by me?" The green-eyed dwarf had originally wanted to agitate Jiang Bufan, but had ended up being duped by him instead.

Jiang Feifan snorted coldly, "Be careful, green-eyed hero. Don't get scalded. At that time, you'll have to waste Miss Shen's healing ointment."

The green-eyed dwarf did not have the lightness skill that Jiang Qisha did. He could not jump up to see what was going on, so he walked closer to the torch to surround it. As he approached, he felt a wave of heat pouncing towards him.

The temperature of the torch was indeed high. The green-eyed dwarf thought. He originally wanted to leap up and get closer to the torch's shell to take a closer look, but he could only reach that height. He couldn't be like Jiang Feifan, who could walk around the torch while stepping on air.

He saw the stalactite at the top of the cave, rolled his eyes, took out the golden silk noose, and threw it at the stalactite above the torch. The gold thread looped around a large stalactite, and he pulled at it.

The Green Eyed Dwarf's ultimate skill left everyone gasping in amazement. He spun around and looked at the torchlight shell once more. After he had an idea, he jumped down from the rope and put away the golden silk rope.

"Green-eyed Hero, did you see any flaws?" Shen Hong continued asking.

The green-eyed dwarf looked complacently at Shen Hong and then glanced at Jiang Bufan, saying, "There are some flaws. However, the torch is too hot, so how can we approach and touch the mechanism?"

"Can I use Sky Water? Constable Jiang, how much rain is left in the water bag?" Shen Hong asked Jiang Bufan.

"There are still a few drops left." Jiang Bufan returned the water bag to Shen Hong.

"Absolutely not." The green-eyed dwarf quickly waved his hand, "Tianshui already condensed the fire to roast it. If we use water again, I'm afraid it will only increase its hardness."

"If you can't use the heavenly water, what else can you use?" Shen Hong couldn't help becoming anxious.

"It is said that human tears can dissolve everything in the world. I think they might be able to dissolve the shell of a torch."
