Capítulo 1861: Chapter 320: Red Fla Poison Scorpion
At this mont, Lin Yifan changed the topic and asked, “Who caused this big pit?”
“She!”
Everyone pointed to Princess Fire Lotus, hoping to create an opportunity for the love-struck young girl.
Lin Yifan looked at Princess Fire Lotus, surprised but also moved.
However, he was destined for an impossible relationship with Princess Fire Lotus, so he wouldn’t give her any chance: “Girl, you’re quite proactive about repaying favors!”
Princess Fire Lotus found herself speechless; Lin Yifan was clearly putting her in a difficult position.
To argue would make her seem infatuated, insisting on marrying none but him; to stay silent would feel like betrayal and disappointnt, unable to explain herself.
After a long reflection, she compromised.
As the saying goes, even a monk fights for incense; since Lin Yifan was being so cold-hearted, she saw no need to embarrass herself any further.
“Indeed! Who asked you to risk your life to save soone back then?”
…
“Did Brother Lin actually risk his life to save Princess Fire Lotus?”
“There’s such a history between them?”
“But why would a noble princess require a rescue from a low realm cultivator?”
The Hengyue Sect disciples were puzzled, unable to comprehend.
Lei Ming knew so details, so he was aware of the unforgettable bond between these two.
He believed that Princess Fire Lotus only developed feelings for Lin Brother after he risked his life to save her.
With Princess Fire Lotus’s words, Lin Yifan felt relieved.
As long as Princess Fire Lotus didn’t make things difficult for him, he wouldn’t utter overly cold-hearted words either.
Rescuing him was not solely Princess Fire Lotus’s effort; nor was regret over his departure exclusive to her.
Of course, he discerned sincerity from insincerity.
Lei Ming and Princess Fire Lotus were wholeheartedly sincere, never abandoning him, evident from their treasure hunting in the Lava Swamp together.
The Hengyue Sect disciples were completely insincere; evident by their solo departure upon learning the Lava Swamp held dangers.
Their sadness and tears simply lanted the loss of the Fire Spirit Ganoderma in his possession.
Sincere or insincere, this group had aided a lot along the way, not in vain for his assistance.
In any case, a thank you was inevitable: “Thank you all for your righteous rescue.”
“Brother Lin, you are too polite. You have assisted us greatly along the way, and now we are only offering a small gesture in return.” The Hengyue Sect disciples responded humbly.
Lin Yifan smiled, not wishing to say more.
The aning was clear to all, further words were unnecessary.
…
The place was fraught with danger, not suitable for lingering.
Lin Yifan did not act rashly and led the team to leave.
If he hadn’t done all the hard work of collecting dicinal herbs this ti, Lei Ming and Princess Fire Lotus might have fallen into peril; hence he couldn’t risk taking them on another adventure.
A few days later, they entered a stretch of Fire Thorn Forest.
The Fire Thorn Forest, as the na suggests, was a forest interwoven by Fire Thorns.
The difference between Fire Thorns and regular thorns is that Fire Thorns are fire attribute plants capable of surviving in a sea of fire.
In other words, Fire Thorns also have sharp spikes which can injure if accidentally touched.

Additionally, Fire Thorns have a slight toxin, unsuitable for excessive piercing injuries.
Although the Fire Thorn Forest is dense, it has passable paths, ford either by lava or worn down by spirit beasts over years within the Red Lotus Secret Realm.
This ans they must remain highly vigilant to prevent sneak attacks from spirit beasts.
The Fire Thorn Forest also holds treasures, according to Princess Fire Lotus, including Fire Thorn Fruits, Fire Origin Gold Essence, and, with so luck, the rare Heavenly Fury Stone.
The Heavenly Fury Stone is an excellent ore for crafting high-level fire attribute weapons; a portion of the life-bound weapon of Princess Fire Lotus’s father is made from Heavenly Fury Stone.
Along the path, they ventured deeper.
Soon after, they found a number of Fire Thorn Fruits.
The Hengyue Sect disciples felt thirsty and tried to pick a couple for relief, only for Lin Yifan to slap them to the ground.
The Hengyue Sect disciples were sowhat perplexed and asked, “Brother Lin, why won’t you let us quench our thirst?”
“The Fire Thorn Fruit is poisonous, you can’t eat it.” Princess Fire Lotus answered.
She almost forgot about this matter; fortunately, Lin Yifan acted in ti, or their team might have lost several young lives.
The Hengyue Sect disciples looked shocked, and their rising anger vanished instantly.
Lin Yifan was saving them, not tricking them; they should not repay kindness with betrayal.
Although the Fire Thorn Fruit cannot be eaten, it is a precious dicinal ingredient, hence after stopping the Hengyue Sect disciples from rashly sampling it, Lin Yifan picked it and stored it away.
The Hengyue Sect disciples couldn’t understand why Lin Yifan stopped them from picking but then picked it himself?
“Brother Lin, didn’t you say the Fire Thorn Fruit is poisonous? Why pick it?”
“It’s also good for refining poison.” Lin Yifan replied calmly, not hiding the truth.
“Poison, this…”
The Hengyue Sect disciples were taken aback, not expecting Brother Lin was skilled in refining both antidotes and poisons.
It seed wise to be less confrontational with him in the future, or they might not know how they got poisoned.
Almost walking and picking along the way, Lin Yifan was busy, while others dared not touch anything more.
As they ventured deeper, they gradually found Fire Origin Crystals and Fire Origin Gold Essence.
Fortunately, soon after, they encountered a Fire Spirit Ganoderma.
The Fire Spirit Ganoderma grew on the roadside, hidden amidst the thorns.
To retrieve it, they had to cut away so Fire Thorns.
Cutting through Fire Thorns was a minor task, so Lin Yifan and company quickly approached.
However, when they raised their weapons to chop the Fire Thorns, a swarm of poisonous scorpions suddenly erged from the Fire Thorn Forest.
Seeing these poisonous scorpions, Princess Fire Lotus exclaid in shock, “Red Fla Poison Scorpions!”
“What kind of poisonous scorpion is the Red Fla Poison Scorpion?”
Seeing Princess Fire Lotus so panicked, the Hengyue Sect disciples couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“The Red Fla Poison Scorpion is among the top hundred deadly poisons; a bite will kill a low realm cultivator within an hour. Even high realm ones face grave danger if they don’t quickly expel the toxin.” Lin Yifan answered grimly, with a hint of seriousness.
“That’s so terrifying? Then let’s leave!” suggested the Hengyue Sect disciples.
Surrounded by interwoven Fire Thorns on all sides, even overhead, their space was severely limited, allowing only for advance or retreat, unlike before when they could fly or dodge at will.
Those with powerful strength might break through the thorn forest and escape forcibly.
But now, it was clear there’s no need for that as retreat would avert disaster.
“Everyone step back and let deal with this!”
Lin Yifan bravely stood his ground, as if one man could block a thousand enemies, brimming with vigor.
“Brother Lin, these Red Fla Poison Scorpions are nurous, you can’t kill them all.” The Hengyue Sect disciples cautioned him.
