Meanwhile,
in the depths of the Eight Fires Valley, the fire source beast was busy tossing the Memory Bridge and
the road of reincarnation up and down like a baseball in a glove.
Suddenly, it caught it and stopped. Bending over, it peered into the small world in the Memory Bridge
where Austin was hiding.
Two red eyes pierced through the small world, staring straight at Austin.
"Damn it! It saw me!"
Austin exclaimed, taking a hasty step backwards.
"Don't worry. The beat knew that we were here all along. After all, its strength is very terrifying.
We can see it from inside this small world. What makes you think it can't see us?
When it first saw the Memory Bridge, it knew we were hiding here,"
Old Lady Meng explained.
"Oh no! This fire source beast is so powerful! Now that it has targeted us, we can't leave this sea of
fire,"
Austin said bitterly.
"I just hope it won't attack us,"
Old Lady Meng added, sighing.
As they discussed it, the fire source beast was still staring at Austin, examining his every move.
Scared stiff, Austin stared quietly back at the beast.
Fortunately, after a while, the beast finally stopped staring at Austin and looked away.
Then it turned around and left.
Once it had left, Austin and Old Lady Meng took deep breaths.
The beast had been releasing energy that was so powerful that Austin and Old Lady Meng could feel it
through the Memory Bridge.
"Madam, my senses are telling me that this fire source beast is stronger than the nine leaders of the
Time Chamber Sect that are outside,"
Austin said.
"You are right. Its real strength is a little higher than the nine leaders'.
It has a shortcoming though. Its intelligence is only equivalent to a child that is a few years old.
If it were to fight with the nine leaders, it might not have the upper hand.
After all, they are much more experienced in battle than it.
But they will still struggle to defeat it.
Most likely, they will be evenly matched and won't lose to each other,"
Old Lady Meng remarked.
Because she used to be a very important god of reincarnation on the road of reincarnation, she was
knowledgeable about all the different space seas.
"I see."
Austin nodded.
His brain was currently racing a million miles a minute. He had never expected to find such a legendary
beast in the Absolute Space Sea. It was an eye opener.
In the meantime, the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect and the demon guards of darkness had
entered the Eight Fires Valley and had spread out to look for Austin.
The nine leaders had very strong senses. When they tried hard enough, they could vaguely locate
Austin and Old Lady Meng. They instantly turned and headed in the direction of the Memory Bridge
and the road of reincarnation.
The demon guards of darkness also had a few core secret skills from their race that they could use to
find Austin and Old Lady Meng.
While they were all busy searching, the Memory Bridge and the road of reincarnation were drifting
aimlessly in the depths of the Eight Fires Valley. Every once in a while, they would have to steer it to
avoid the burning of the eight sacred fires.
One day, Austin peered outside.
"Madam, look! The fire source beast is coming again!"
Austin screamed.
He turned to face Old Lady Meng as the huge fire source beast appeared in the distance again. At an
astonishing speed, it ran to the front of the Memory Bridge and the road of reincarnation and stopped.
Lifting its hand, it waved its claw and many magic treasures poured down.
Then, a large number of magic herbs fell.
Next, different types of the most precious and rare crystals in the Absolute Space Sea fluttered down.
Every single one of these magic treasures, herbs, and crystals were invaluable.
Once it had finished dropping valuable items, the fire source beast did something that surprised Austin.
It pointed at Austin with its claw and then at the magic treasures, herbs, and crystals.
Austin and Old Lady Meng exchanged looks, questioning silently what the beast was trying to tell them.
The beast repeated the action several times. Austin thought that it was trying to urge him into doing
something.
"It looks like the fire source beast wants to give you these things,"
Old Lady Meng said in surprise.
"What? It wants to give me gifts?
I've never met it before. Why does it want me to have its valuable things?"
Austin questioned, scrunching his eyebrows together.
"I don't know why, but I'm sure that's what it wants,"
Old Lady Meng replied.
"Go and try to talk with it,"
she suggested.
"Okay."
Austin nodded.
Cautiously, he stepped forward and looked up at the fire source beast.
"Excuse me, are you trying to give these things to me?"
Austin asked, pointing at the magic treasures, herbs, and crystals.
The fire source beast slowly looked at the items and then back at Austin. A friendly look crossed its
face and it nodded.
"Austin, it really wants to give these things to you. It doesn't want to hurt us,"
Old Lady Meng said in surprise.
"I know.
But what is the reason behind it wanting me to have these things?"
Austin asked, pondering silently in his head about it.
While he spoke, the fire source beast kept pointing at the items.
"It doesn't matter what the reason is. It wants to give you these things, so you can go and take them.
The fire source beast is simple minded and never plays tricks.
There's no need to be hesitant.
But if you refuse its gifts and it becomes irritated, the consequences will be unimaginable,"
Old Lady Meng explained.
"Okay. I'll go get them,"
Austin said after thinking for a while.
Slowly, he exited the Memory Bridge, smiled at the fire source beast, and walked towards the magic
treasures, herbs, and crystals.
He held four teleportation runes tightly in his hands. The moment that something were to go wrong, he
could activate the teleportation runes and escape.
However, the fire source beast stayed completely still.
Old Lady Meng had been right. The beast had a simple mind and wouldn't play any tricks.
After Austin had stowed away the items,
the fire source beast nodded at him, and a satisfied smile appeared on its ferocious face.
Austin finally felt relief wash over him. It seemed that the fire source beast did not hold any malice
towards him. Instead, it wanted to be his friend and present him with gifts.
"Thank you very much, for the gifts,"
Austin said to the fire source beast.
Then, the beast walked away to continue playing with the Memory Bridge and the road of reincarnation
as if it were a child playing with toys.
Austin smiled at the scene.
But at the same time, he was aware of the terrifying energy pressure the beast was emitting all the
time.
He had no doubt that if he were to fight with the beast, he wouldn't be able to resist a single one of its
moves.
