Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start - Chapter 511 - : Calling

Chapter 511: Calling

“What?” Firey cried out in surprise before leaving the tomb.

“What is it?” Himmel Soan was a little worried.

“Master, I feel something is off.” Firey frowned and seemed suspicious.

She halted to examine the surroundings. The moment before stepping out of the tomb, she heard a calling. It was as if an invisible power was pulling her back.

When she looked for it, the feeling was gone.

“Off? How so?” Himmel Soan asked.

“I don’t know. I can’t explain that feeling. It’s so weird.”

Her answer made Himmel Soan raise his guard.

Firey was the essence of nature and was much more acute of their surroundings than Himmel Soan.

Her feelings couldn’t have gone wrong. Something must be happening.

Himmel Soan didn’t understand though. They traveled through the magma when they first came into the tomb, and Firey even absorbed all of it. She didn’t feel anything strange then.

“Close your eyes and integrate yourself with the environment. Feel everything that surrounds you. See if you can find the source of that feeling.”

“Alright!” Firey closed her eyes.

She took it seriously. Although she couldn’t specify that feeling, she knew it was very important.

With her eyes closed, Firey could see sparks around her.

It wasn’t an actual fire. Rather, it was the embodiment of the fire element between heaven and earth.

Ordinary cultivators couldn’t sense it. Only Firey, the essence of nature, could connect with them. One could say that she was born from the fire element.

“The fire element is so dense here!” Firey cried out.

Himmel Soan found it even more suspicious.

Dense?

It should be the case when they first arrived here.

Back then, it was filled with magma, and the fire element should be thick.

However, she had absorbed the magma, and the fire element should have disappeared, let alone feeling dense.

“Are you sure the fire element is dense?” Himmel Soan asked again.

He didn’t need to wait for an answer.

He saw the ground cracking open, and a small streak of magma flowed out.

The streak was thin and moving slowly. If Himmel Soan hadn’t spotted it by accident, he wouldn’t have known its existence.

“There!” Firey opened her eyes and pointed at the crack.

She also found the source of that feeling: the magma Himmel Soan had noticed.

“This shouldn’t be happening!” Himmel Soan was perplexed.

Firey had absorbed the magma. Being the essence of nature, she would have drained the fire element, too. There shouldn’t be anything left.

Moreover, this little amount of magma couldn’t contain dense fire elements.

So far, they only knew two things.

First of all, the magma had just popped up because the magma from before had been absorbed by Firey.

Secondly, there was something strange about the magma.

“I get it!” Himmel Soan had a bold speculation that could answer his question.

“Master, what is it?”

“There’s something beneath that crack, and it’s connected to fire. It also created the magma you absorbed earlier. That’s why more magma is coming out.

“That thing is also where that feeling comes from. You’re the essence of nature, so anything related to fire wants to get close to you.”

Firey beamed at him.

If she could feel a connection with that thing, it had to be something extraordinary.

The essence of nature was cherished by nature. Only something very special could make her raise her eyebrow.

According to Firey, she felt something was calling her. It meant the thing was a conscious being.

Even Himmel Soan was intrigued.

“Firey, maybe this is your chance. If you can make good use of it, your future will be so promising.”

Himmel Soan felt happy for Firey. It was a one-in-a-million opportunity.

“Why didn’t I feel anything before?” Firey tilted her head.

Himmel Soan had taught her to ask questions when she wanted to know something.

“It must be because of the magma. That thing is buried deep under the surface, and the magma covers it. Now that it’s gone, the thing was calling to you. That’s why you can feel it.”

Himmel Soan walked toward the magma. If he had guessed it correctly, that thing was hidden under this crack.

Firey followed him. The closer they moved toward the crack, the stronger the feeling became.

She smiled involuntarily. That thing wanted to show it liked Firey, so she smiled before realizing it.

“Absorb the magma. We’ll go into the crack.”

“Yes!”

The magma flowed into Firey like a bird going back to its nest. Although there wasn’t a lot of it, it was much purer than the previous batch.

“The magma…”

“It’s pure, isn’t it? That’s normal. It’s made by that thing and is the essence of magma. What you absorbed earlier was the thinned-down version.”

Himmel Soan seemed to have predicted it.

Ever since he found out that something was hidden beneath them, he knew something like this would happen.

“Master, what should we do now?”

“We’re going into that crack to find that thing.”

He then jumped into the crack.

He couldn’t let Firey go in first without confirming that it was safe inside.
