Chapter 455: Tunnel Race, Admitting Defeat
Fang Zhou poured out all the souls from the gourd and said to the Firekeeper, "Are these enough?"
The Firekeeper looked at the souls in her hands, momentarily speechless.
In the past, there were occasional outsiders who stumbled upon this place, but none had the obsession like Fang Zhou to collect the souls of the slain monsters.
The Firekeeper needed to stay by the bonfire and couldn’t venture out to hunt monsters for fuel, so she could only watch the flame dwindle day by day.
After a long while, the Firekeeper softly said, "Thank you, it’s already enough."
She slowly brought her hands to the bonfire, slightly opening them, and the souls in her hands immediately poured down, consumed by the flames.
After adding the souls, Fang Zhou felt the flames became much more vigorous, the light shooting far into the distance, evidently showing these souls as very qualified fuel.
The reason Fang Zhou gave these things to the Firekeeper was, firstly, they no longer seemed useful to him, and secondly, it was an emotional investment.
When it comes to "hugging thighs," emotional investment is very necessary. It’s not just about seeing a thigh and hugging it, you need to let the thigh see the benefits of having you as an accessory, then the thigh will provide you the opportunity to hang on.
The invigorated flames brought a slight rise to the corners of the Firekeeper’s mouth, revealing a faint smile.
She suddenly reached into the flames, scooping out a cluster of burning fire, and presented it to Fang Zhou: "I don’t know what you plan to do in this world, but if you need help, you can go to the Cold Valley to find the Heroic Spirit of the Flame King, give her the flame, and she’ll offer you assistance."
Fang Zhou didn’t expect his emotional investment to pay off so quickly and hastily took out the gourd, carefully absorbing the flame from the Firekeeper’s hands into it.
