They weren't sure whether Li Ling and Zhihao were going to come but they still waited for the two and stood aside, blending in with the crowd that stood there and watched the scene clearly but didn't dare approach it even an inch.
One more person dropped dead and the fire quickly spread over to the next victim.
Wang GuiYing didn't feel guilty about the death of these people since he already knew that they were all NPCs and not actually real people. Even if an NPC died, the data used to make that NPC could be used again to recreate the dead NPC.
It was useless to feel bad about these NPCs and it was even more pathetic to feel guilty for their deaths.
However, although he felt nothing for these people, the sight of them burning to death and screaming with agony was still not pleasant to the eye and Wang GuiYing soon looked away.
Thankfully enough, a few minutes later, somebody did arrive to solve the situation. The red fire suddenly turned blue and Wang GuiYing couldn't help but be a bit amazed by it.
Wang GuiYing thought that the fire would stop spreading but in the very next moment, the red fire spread to another person and the blue fire remained burning on the previous victim.
He could finally understand why people thought these two outsiders were the ones putting everyone on fire.
When the previous victim dropped dead, the blue fire left his body and went on to fight the red flame.
At first Wang, GuiYing had thought that it was the fire itself that had turned blue, but now that he looked closely, he could understand the situation a bit more clearly and confidently say that the blue fire wasn't the same as the red fire.
While the red fire was slowly killing all the victims, melting and eating away at their skin, the blue fire was trying to heal the victims and fighting to subdue the red fire.
Another important thing that could be noted was perhaps the fact that both the flames were alive and seemed to have an independent consciousness. The red flame acted on its own and went on a killing rampant while the blue fire chose to follow the orders of someone else and tried to stop the red flame.
It was a fierce battle between the two flames and nobody could say which one would emerge victorious.
"Trash," Zhihao suddenly noticed the man's presence and called out to him, walking over, "Why are you here?"
Wang GuiYing snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to look at the man, "I... was actually looking for you."
"Eh?"
"Let's talk about that later," Wang GuiYing shook his head with a sigh as he spoke, "For now, tell me what's happening."
Zhihao also didn't push on any further to get an answer from the man, "It's a celestial dragon's breath."
"A celestial dragon?" Wang GuiYing repeated, feeling as if the name was quite familiar.
"The bone ring," Xin reminded and Wang GuiYing's eyes immediately widened as he realized it.
"That's right!" He exclaimed, thinking in his mind: 'The bone ring was also made from the bones of a celestial dragon!'
Zhihao's eyes narrowed down on Xin and it almost looked as if he was a bit surprised to see him, but he didn't say anything nor did he question the man's identity.
"A player caught a celestial dragon and brought it along with him to the fourth stage," Zhihao explained further, "The celestial dragon was split into five pieces and those five pieces were made into six artifacts. From the bones, came a ring. From the teeth, came a sword. From the breath, came two uncontrolled fire spirits. From the blood, came a rare medicine that could grant immortality and from the soul, came an orb that would automatically form a spiritual contract between the celestial dragon and the owner of the orb."
Wang GuiYing couldn't help but feel a little speechless as he heard this. He didn't even need to know more about them in order to conclude how precious they were.
He instinctually clutched onto the bone ring a bit tighter, feeling that the curse he wasted on that woman was rendered useless since she hadn't tricked them at all. Now that he knew the authenticity of the bone ring, he couldn't help but feel that he was extremely lucky to have come across it like that.
"But how can such things exist here?" Wang GuiYing asked with a frown, "Isn't this stage supposed to be normal?"
Zhihao nodded his head with a thin smile, "This stage is a temptation for all players. That player wanted to get rich and hence, the celestial dragon became a temptation for him. Since it was a temptation, its existence was validated but now that all the pieces have been sold, it is no longer a temptation and hence it is no longer supposed to exist in this stage."
Wang GuiYing gulped as he heard this and somewhat understood the gist of it.
He took a few seconds to think about it and sighed in relief as he commented, "Thank God it's something minor. I almost thought we were stuck in here again."
"..." Zhihao was suspiciously silent but Wang GuiYing didn't notice this odd reaction.
The two flames made from the same celestial dragon breath continued to fight each other. At one point, it looked like the blue flame had an upper hand while in the very next moment, it looked like the red flame was much more fierce.
Li Ling stood there commanding the blue fire and everyone moved away from him in fear, thinking that he was the one controlling both of them and massacring people.
"What about you guys? Are you here just for this?" Wang GuiYing asked as he side-glanced at Zhihao.
Zhihao nodded his head as he confirmed it, "If we don't fix it soon, the bug would only affect more of the system."
"How do we fix it?" Wang GuiYing tilted his head as he asked.
"By collecting all the six artifacts made from the five parts of the celestial dragon. All the artifacts have a connection with each other and can sense the presence of the other nearby artifacts. We were lucky enough to come across the blue flame which led us to the red flame. These two flames were made from the same breath and hence, they need to merge with one another, however, the red flame doesn't want to merge with the blue one. It has quite a troublesome personality."
Wang GuiYing nodded his head as he heard it and when he remembered the ring that he possessed, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
With a smirk, he spoke, "What are the odds? We were also lucky enough to come across one of the artifacts."
Zhihao looked to be a little surprised as he heard this, "Which one did you find?"
"The ring made from the bones of the celestial dragon."
Zhihao blinked, staring at the man with a blank speechless expression.
"Is it that shocking?" Wang GuiYing asked with a bit of confusion.
"Do you have it with you right now?" Zhihao asked, sounding a bit hurried.
"Well, yes. I do."
"Then what were you doing till now...?!" Zhihao questioned with an apparent frown plastered on his face, "The bone ring can control those two celestial flames!"
"Oh..." Wang GuiYing's eyes widened ever so slightly as he heard this and he immediately Took out the ring only to find it shining.
It wasn't a blinding glow. It was quite faint but still eye-catching. The bone ring that had been completely white now looked to be glowing with a soft color of jade, making it look both special and magical.
Without even needing any explanation, Wang GuiYing could already tell that this reaction came from the fact that the bone ring felt the presence of the celestial flames.
Once the bone ring was taken out, the flames calmed down and it seemed that the bone ring wasn't the only artifact that could sense the presence of the other artifact.
Wang GuiYing gulped as he cautiously approached the flames.
The two flames burned ever so brightly and fiercely, but one could automatically tell that they were no longer angry.
"Merge," Wang GuiYing spoke, hoping that the flames would immediately listen to his order and do as told.
However, nothing happened and Wang GuiYing was left feeling like a fool.
"Call the spirit of the celestial dragon," He heard the voice of Li Ling.
"And how exactly do I do that...?!" Wang GuiYing asked calmly but he was surely panicking on the inside.
"Repeat after me," Li Ling sighed out, "Oh great one, heed my call."
"Oh great one, heed my call."
"Bestow me with your presence and let me hear your voice."
"Bestow me with your presence and let me hear your voice."
"Guide me and let me borrow your powers."
"Guide me and let me borrow your powers."
"For, you are the celestial dragon and I am your worshipper."
"For, you are the celestial dragon and I am your worshipper."
