"Hehe, Xuan Bing, your luck is pretty good. You actually got the rare Red Snake spirit." The instant when Xuan Bing tilted her head, a group of people swiftly flew over from the sky behind her. After which, they stopped above the lake's surface. The leading individual had also met Xia Hun Wu once before, the Rock Sparrow from the Black Rock Empire.

Numerous rushing wind sounds were once again emitted from behind the Stone Sparrow. Numerous figures swiftly rushed over like rays of light. These light figures were also attracted by the energy in the middle of the lake.

Xia Hun Wu's expression changed as he looked at the experts rushing over from every direction. However, he felt a little helpless in his heart. The flame energy that was triggered by the lake of fire had attracted too much attention.

The instant these experts appeared, their gazes were fixated on the Scarlet Snake Spirit in Xuan Bing's hands, not concealing the fire and greed in their eyes. If it were not for the Xuan Bing Empire's ruthless tactics in suppressing the greed in their hearts, they would have taken action to snatch it away the moment they saw it.

Xuan Bing furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at the crowd of people behind her, especially the undisguised burning sensation on their faces. Her face turned ashen as she looked in the direction of Xia Hun Wu, but the latter's expression remained calm.

Xuan Bing didn't know what to say after Xia Hun Wu's silence. He knew that although these powerful warriors were afraid of the Ice Empire, they weren't afraid of the Ice Empire. It wouldn't be easy for them to leave obediently.

While Xia Hun Wu and Xuan Bing were silent, a circular ripple once again appeared on the surface of the lake. Soon after, a whirlpool that was over a meter in size slowly formed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Sigh, I still can't hide it."

Upon seeing this, a sigh rang out in Xia Hengwu's heart. This lake of fire seemed to be afraid that no one else would know that there were even more precious items hidden under the lake.

The ripple that surfaced on the lake of fire also caused the Stone Sparrow and the other experts from the various empires to be slightly startled. Soon after, they quickly shot their gazes over, and under their stunned gazes, a flickering fire red snake spirit slowly rose from the lake of fire.

"There's actually the Scarlet Snake's Soul!"

The instant the Scarlet Snake's Soul appeared, the fire within the eyes of all the experts in the sky rose once again. A surge of greed gradually climbed into their hearts as boundless soul power erupted in an instant.

The instant the sound of wind breaking rang out, numerous figures simultaneously rushed out, competing for the Scarlet Snake Spirit that was slowly swimming.

Dozens of balls of light filled with terrifying soul power violently collided with each other. A ripple that could be seen with the naked eye erupted in the surroundings. A bloody battle instantly erupted.

This fight for the championship was extremely intense. Numerous figures repeatedly shot backwards, while fresh blood dripped from the corner of their mouths. From the looks of their disheveled appearances, they were extremely unwilling.

The intense battle did not last for long before a conclusion was reached approximately ten minutes later. An expert with a cultivation level of half a step into the habitat was bleeding all over his body. Finally, he grabbed the Scarlet Snake's Spirit in his hand and laughed maniacally towards the sky.

Even though a half-step-to step into the habitat level expert was extremely powerful, they had suffered serious internal injuries and even their aura had become weak. From this alone, it could be seen just how troublesome it was for these experts who had rushed over from various directions.

"Hiss!" Hiss! "Hiss!"

While this expert was holding the Scarlet Snake Spirit in his hand and laughing towards the sky, ripples once again surfaced on the surface of the lake under his feet. A vortex appeared once again and three Scarlet Snake Spirits unexpectedly swam out from within the vortex.

The laughter came to a halt. The half-step-to step expert was stunned as he stared at the three Scarlet Snake spirits slowly wiggling their tails. For a moment, he was simply at a standstill as he did not understand why the extremely rare Scarlet Snake Spirit would appear at so many times within this place.

"This …!"

The Scarlet Snake Spirit that had once again appeared in the eyes of the crowd caused an uproar among the crowd. Everyone looked at each other, clearly extremely shocked as they watched the shocking scene that appeared in front of them. For a moment, no one took any action to snatch the three Scarlet Snake Spirit …

They were obviously completely shocked by these Scarlet Snake spirits.

"Ke ke, looks like there are quite some treasures at the bottom of this Fire Lake …" A fiery heat flickered within the Stone Sparrow's eyes as it stared at the three Scarlet Snake spirits that were continuously swimming around. Then, it turned its gaze towards Xia Hun Wu and Xuan Bing as it spoke with a faint smile.

"Whew."

He glanced at Xuan Bing, and she was also looking at him. They looked at each other and saw the killing intent in each other's eyes. If Xuan Bing hadn't come out, he would have already investigated the bottom of the lake of fire.

In this situation, it was obviously impossible to keep the treasure at the bottom of the lake to yourself.

"Elder Mu, let's go!"

A low voice almost instantly resounded within Xia Hengwu's heart. At the same time, an azure flame instantly wrapped around his body and he rushed into the lake of fire without hesitation.

As Xia Hun Wu charged into the lake, layers of icy blue light flashed around Xuan Bing as well. With a tap of her toes, she similarly charged into the lake.

Splash.

When the surrounding figures saw Xia Hun Wu and Xuan Bing rush into the lake, they also followed without hesitation. Sounds of water being broken resounded as they all jumped into the lake of fire.

"Hehe, I heard that this cave is the ruin of an ancient sect. I didn't expect that we would run into such a treasure. Let's go!"

He immediately waved his hand and his body immediately charged into the lake of fire below. The situation in front of him was extremely obvious, the Scarlet Snake's Spirit required a large amount of energy in order to nurture it. Moreover, within a short couple of minutes, several Scarlet Snake's Spirit appeared in the lake of fire.

This was enough to prove that there were truly good things at the bottom of the lake.

"There are treasures at the bottom of this lake!"

At this moment, the surrounding experts had also completely recovered their wits. The fire in their eyes had become even more intense. Following which, dozens of human voices completely broke the tranquility of the lake of fire.

The originally quiet lake of fire instantly became lively.
