Even though all of these weapons and magic treasures had been destroyed for a long time and lost
their energy, the remaining aura radiating off them told Austin and the fire source beast that they had
once been very advanced and powerful.
Among them were some magic treasures that Austin yearned for.
The fire source beast and Austin traipsed through every abandoned building, checking every crevice as
they explored the space filled with fire.
Suddenly, the fire source beast screamed and pointed into the distance.
"Hey!
Look! There is a corpse over there!"
Austin's eyes followed the beast's finger and spotted a large corpse lying crumpled on the ground.
Wasting no time, they ran over to it.
"It's a corpse of your race!"
Austin whispered, looking up at the fire source beast in shock and then back down at the corpse to
examine it further.
"Yes.
It does belong to my race,"
the fire source beast answered as he looked at the corpse with a sad expression on his face.
The dead body was covered with wounds from previously inflicted injuries.
Because of this, they deduced that he had struggled a lot before his death.
"When we got here, I never thought I would encounter a member of my race. Unfortunately, he is
already gone,"
the fire source beast added, sighing.
For as long as he had been alive, he had been living alone and he had never met anyone from his own
race.
This was the first time he had seen one.
Sadly, this stranger died a long time ago.
Looking at the corpse in front of him, the fire source beast gritted his teeth and glanced at the ground
with tears in his eyes. He said,
"This space used to be the territory of the fire source beast race. I wonder who invaded it, killed my
companions, and destroyed our home."
After standing there and paying their respects for a little while longer, the fire source beast found a nice
place nearby and buried the corpse from his own race.
Then the duo continued to move forward.
Along the way, they stumbled upon more corpses from the fire source beast race.
It seemed like all these fire source beasts had experienced a rough battle before they perished.
The fire source beast buried every corpse that they found.
"I'm making it my mission to find out who has done this. Whoever it is invaded our home and killed so
many of my companions must pay the price. If this enemy is still alive, I will find them and enact my
revenge!"
the fire source beast swore through gritted teeth.
"Wait.
That's strange! This corpse is not from your race!"
Austin shouted as he turned and saw something unusual ahead of them.
Another corpse was lying close by, but this one was emitting a gloomy mist and had an overall
disgusting appearance.
"It's not!
He might be the enemy who invaded this space!"
the fire source beast exclaimed. With the idea in his mind, he rushed to the corpse for closer
examination.
Just the look of this corpse was gross.
Its body had no features at all—no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose!
Any skin that it might have had was covered in black hair, and there were purulent sores from its head
to its toes. Apart from that, a stream of smelly liquid was constantly flowing out from these sores.
Over the top of it floated a layer of chilled mist and a strange law that Austin had never seen before.
From time to time, shrill cries could be heard from inside the frigid mist, making their hair stand on end.
They seemed to be coming from frightening ghosts that were hidden in the mist.
As the cold mist washed over Austin and the fire source beast, it felt like there were endless evil spirits
pouncing on the duo.
Both Austin and the fire source beast felt hesitant as they looked down at the weird corpse. They
exchanged a single look and quickly retreated.
"What kind of creature is that? It's so terrifying that some of its auras still feel overwhelming, even after
its death. I wonder how powerful this creature was when it was still alive."
Both Austin and the fire source beast looked at it from a distance with amazement coating their faces.
"Let's ignore it for now. We should keep moving,"
the fire source beast suggested. He didn't destroy the corpse. Instead, he took Austin down a different
path and they continued to explore.
The fire space was enormous.
Despite trying, neither Austin nor the fire source beast could perceive the whole space with their
spiritual senses, so they had no way of knowing what might lie ahead.
Austin and the fire source beast were forced to explore the space using extreme cautiousness.
As they walked, the duo discovered that in addition to the terrible flames and advanced law of fire,
there were also some unknown dangers in this space, so they proceeded with even more caution than
before.
The weird corpse they had encountered not long ago was an example of an unknown danger.
"Hey, look! There's another corpse over there!
Let's go and check it out, but remember to be careful,"
the fire source beast shouted.
Before they approached it, Austin released his spiritual sense to perceive the situation.
Sure enough, he found a corpse lying in the shabby ruins in front of them.
They ran over to it and
saw that it was also a disgusting corpse!
It resembled a terrifying monster!
The neck of the corpse was as thin as the tip of a needle but its head was very big. To be more precise,
its head resembled an ugly, black pumpkin and its abdomen bulged upwards like a small hill.
The corpse's feet were as small and thin as two sticks.
All in all, this corpse gave Austin and the fire source beast chills.
And that was not all. This corpse was also shrouded in a layer of mist and this time, it was gloomy.
More very strange laws were present, making the area feel dangerous.
The laws released from this corpse made Austin shiver. He felt disgusting in its presence.
Austin and the fire source beast stayed alert and kept a certain distance from the corpse at all times.
"What kind of creature do you think this is?"
After observing the body for a while, Austin and the fire source beast weren't able to figure it out.
Neither of them had ever seen or heard of such a strange creature before.
"Let's continue to explore and see what we can discover,"
the fire source beast said and led Austin forward.
Not long after, they saw many corpses from the fire source beast race.
The two of them noticed that the deeper that they went into the fire space, the more corpses they would
encounter.
In addition to the corpses of the fire source beast race, they found other creatures that they couldn't
identify.
These creatures didn't have the same shape, but they had one common characteristic which was the
large amount of gloomy mist and strange laws around them.
In addition to the corpses, they also uncovered traces from the war that had happened here.
The space of fire had clearly undergone a violent battle.
"Are these corpses from different races or from the same race?"
Along the way, Austin and the fire source beast had been discussing this problem.
But there seemed to be no answers to their question.
"It seems that these strange and unidentified creatures are the ones that invaded our territory.
I think the war that happened here is the reason behind our race's decline,"
the fire source beast speculated.
