It was a mass of golden flame, suspended in mid-air, situated atop a flat rock, burning quietly, the flames flickering, expanding and contracting like a heart; or rather, it was a golden heart, quietly resting there.
Fang Hong had never seen the Dragon's Heart, but the moment he saw this flame, he felt at ease, understanding that this was what he was looking for.
However, the two were not in a hurry, instead first looking around.
The cave's walls were not natural rock but covered with something shiny, appearing misty under the light of the Illumination Crystal. Only upon closer inspection did they see it was a layer of uneven crystal, dark and heavy.
Fang Hong had seen these crystals more than once.
But all around was silent, with no abnormal occurrences; the Dragon's Claw had not reappeared, and these crystals seemed as ordinary as any other. Once they roughly determined there was no danger, the two moved closer to the golden flame.
