Crawling through the darkness, it was Shi Chun's turn to feel awkward again.

Gu Lianni finally experienced why Shi Chun would suddenly stop earlier; sometimes in the darkness one would inexplicably pause, even knowing there were no obstacles ahead.

Then, her thigh and buttocks were touched several times by the person behind her, making her body stiffen. The excessive touch came when someone's face accidentally landed on her buttocks, and both froze, then felt each other's body heat.

If not for the fear of startling the Divine Fire, Gu Lianni nearly kicked out instinctively.

Considering she had touched others as well, she endured it and hurriedly crawled away carefully.

Shi Chun, who didn't mind being touched, now also had an impression of the feel.

After several turns, when it felt safe that no light would be seen, Shi Chun produced the Sandal Gold Illumination.

Finally, after crawling out of the small hole, they tacitly did not mention touching each other, as if nothing had happened.

They then continued to leave markers along the way, and eventually returned to the previous fork in the road, where Shi Chun asked, "Does this count as circular?"

Whether it was circular or not, it was definitely a winding round, and Gu Lianni felt a bit toothache, "Usually it's set symmetrically; I've never tried setting it up in such a twisting way."

Shi Chun doubted, "So asymmetry makes it impossible to set up an array?"

Gu Lianni, "It's not that you can't set up an array, but one thing for sure, if the power structure released is asymmetrical, the power of the array will be much weaker, and the capability to block the target will definitely be reduced."

Hearing this, Shi Chun was reassured. He had encountered Divine Fire several times before, and his right eye superpower could tell a bit about the power from the body and size of the Divine Fire. This time the Divine Fire should be weaker; otherwise, he wouldn't dare hope to secretly take away the Divine Fire.

So he advised, "It doesn't matter. Cast a dead horse as a live horse doctor; having an array is better than none. You hurry up, Qianyan Sect can't hold on for long."

Gu Lianni thought about it and then retrieved an iron tower, setting it without any fixation due to insufficient manpower. Any simultaneous fixation would startle the Divine Fire and make it run away.

After another round of setting up the twelve iron towers, Gu Lianni took out the compass and began to turn and adjust it.

After a series of clicking sounds, she saw a wave-like ripple screen appear, permeating into the soil layer. Shi Chun's right eye superpower faintly saw its complete form, discovering the strangely twisted seal was indeed too irregular.

Gu Lianni, who put away the compass, had a gleam in her eyes and eagerly ran towards the low hole from earlier.

When she reached the entrance of the hole, she subconsciously put her hands behind her back, as if to block her buttocks, and twisted her body to give way to the hole entrance, whispering, "You go first."

Shi Chun paused slightly, then waved his hand, "I don't know Fire Attribute Skill, I dare not touch the Divine Fire; I'll wait for you outside."

Gu Lianni understood this too and looked disdainfully. She then bent down and crawled in.

Shi Chun grimaced and moved farther back, fearing that if a fight caused a collapse, they might get buried alive; standing farther back was better for a timely escape. As long as the Divine Fire was trapped in the array, he could come back with others to dig it out later.

Under the surveillance of his right eye superpower, Gu Lianni moved cautiously. After fumbling around for a while, she suddenly became still, gathering energy for a moment, then suddenly flashed out, heading straight for the target.

Though there were thudding sounds and a surge of energy fluctuations from inside the cave, he could see that the cultivation at the High Martial Great Success Realm was indeed different; the Divine Fire couldn't escape and was captured by Gu Lianni, apparently subdued.

Seeing this, and seeing that there had been no fight or collapse, Shi Chun hurriedly ran back to the entrance of the low hole, pretending he had never moved far away.

Soon, a bright yellow light shone out from inside the cave, and an excited Gu Lianni crawled out, showing off with a broad smile, "Caught it."

She was truly happy; this was her first time catching a Divine Fire, and this was the first Divine Fire she caught on this trip to Shudao Mountain.

Shi Chun was a little depressed, not expecting it to be caught so easily, not even needing the Element Locking Array. Had he known this Divine Fire was so easy to catch, he would have done it himself, saving the hassle of including it in a partnership deal.

Nevertheless, he forced a smile, "What Divine Fire is this?"

Gu Lianni answered cheerfully, "Earth Flame Divine Fire, said to be a very rare type of Divine Fire."

Shi Chun promptly reminded, "According to the agreement, those two Ice Flames are yours; the first four Divine Fires we find in partnership all belong to us."

A reluctant expression clearly crossed Gu Lianni's face, but a deal between one and two was still calculable. Not giving this one meant not getting those two; moreover, the secret technique Shi Chun had just shown for finding Divine Fire was indeed miraculous, making her not dare to break the agreement if she wanted further cooperation.

After weighing, she replied, "As long as you don't break the agreement, we won't either; let's trade for those two Ice Flames."

Shi Chun agreed readily, "Alright, let's go, withdraw!"

"Let me collect the Element Locking Array first."

Gu Lianni spoke while taking out the compass for Shi Chun to hold, then she turned the compass single-handedly to deactivate the Element Locking Array, then collected the compass, and continued to gather the iron towers.

Shi Chun followed her closely.

While busying herself, Gu Lianni did not forget the previous conversation and asked, "Can you tell me where your strange technique for finding Divine Fire comes from now?"

Shi Chun calmly explained, "How should I explain it to you? Just know this, whether Mingshan Sect enters the Divine Fire Domain or not is not for us to decide, don't ask more, knowing too much is not good for Shudao Mountain; if you're not afraid of causing trouble for Shudao Mountain, I could even tell you this secret technique completely."
