Chapter 186: A Strong Man from the West
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in the town, 10 kilometers from the Taal volcano.
The eruption of the volcano has not stopped, but the rate of spewing material has become very slow.
The height of Taal Volcano is only about 200 meters, and from a distance, it looks like it is surrounded by dark red magma, which is spectacular and terrifying.
There are a lot of solidified magma rocks on the road, and small patches of fire rain fall from time to time.
The driver didn't dare to move on, so he retreated to Yu Fan for a little money, and drove away at an accelerated pace.
After getting out of the car, Yu Fan glanced around and found that there were only a few small villages around, and the villagers had basically fled to a distance, and there were few people.
Estimating that no one should notice him, he simply mobilized the true yuan, one step at a time, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the volcano.
"The closer you get to the volcano, the hotter and hotter the air becomes, and the aura becomes chaotic and irritable. This leyline movement is not small. ”
Yu Fan used the Abyss Shrinking Earth Divine Power to move forward for a few minutes, and came to the foot of Taal Volcano.
There was a lot of sulphur smell around, and it was very pungent.
Most of the magma that flowed to the foot of the mountain had solidified, and only a small amount was still spreading, converging into a black mass like a slug, slowly crawling forward.
There wasn't much anyone around.
However, in order not to be captured by the cameras observing the volcanic activity from afar, Yu Fan still pinched a small spell to distort the light around his body and reduce his sense of existence.
Then he wrapped his feet with the true yuan and jumped towards the mountain.
Tengyun Misty Divine Power consumes mana relatively quickly, and now it is not very anxious, there is no need to be so extravagant.
In just over a minute, Yu Fan came to the position halfway up the mountain.
However, at this moment, his pupils shrank sharply, and he saw that on the other side of the hill more than a hundred meters away, there were actually others!
The volcanic magma is rolling down, and it is still dark yellow halfway up the mountain, and the temperature is almost 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The group did not walk on the lava, but on the rocky position of the mountain itself.
But being able to run halfway up the mountain against the rich sulfur gas and high temperature is obviously not an ordinary person!
"Hey, there's an Asian over there. ”
Yu Fan found those people, and those people naturally saw Yu Fan as well.
There were four people on the other side of the hill, three of them younger, two tall and one short, all white.
There was also an older one, fifty or sixty years old, with long silver curly hair and golden eyes, a big beard, and a thick book in his hand, which looked quite like a scholar.
After seeing Yu Fan, the four of them briefly discussed it and took the initiative to greet him.
The shortest young man asked in English, "Hey friend, what country are you from, and what are you doing on the volcano?"
Everyone is a person with extraordinary abilities, and there is no need to say anything about whether it is dangerous or not, and when we meet, we usually ask for directions first.
Yu Fan sensed it slightly, and noticed that the strength of the short white man was about one heavy heaven.
The two tall ones are a little weaker, but they are equivalent to the strength of the innate high-level ancient martial artists, that is, the S-level. From time to time, volcanic ejections fell from the air, mainly these two people resisting.
The silver-haired old man was very strong, and his aura was equivalent to that of a Triple Heaven Immortal cultivator, and his whole body exuded a touch of peace and warmth, giving people the feeling of subconsciously wanting to convince him.
"I'm a Huaxia Immortal Cultivator, what about you?" Yu Fan also replied in English.
"Huaxia Immortal Cultivator!"
The three young men were startled at the same time, and the silver-haired old man also showed a bit of surprise.
The old man took a step forward, stroked his chest with one hand, bowed slightly, and said, "I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to the ancient Oriental powerhouse. It is an honor to meet you, Huaxia, and we are an oracle from the Holy See of Light, my name is Dalton Clive, and I am a cardinal. These three are my bodyguards, Campbell the Inquisitor, Paladin Wilson, and Paladin Arnold. ”
For the Eastern Immortal Cultivators, most of the ancient forces in the world have a respectful attitude, and only a few are more hostile.
On the surface, the relationship between the Holy Light Church and the Huaxia Immortal Cultivators is still relatively friendly, and the meeting and salute also give enough face.
Yu Fan didn't hold it up, returned the salute, and said politely: "It's an honor to meet you too." My name is Yu Fan, and I am a disciple of the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, and I have had some friendship with the Pope of your religion, and I am a friend of the church. ”
"Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace! Is it the Jade Void Palace of the strongest Taiwei Daojun?"
"The name Yu Fan, I seem to have heard His Majesty the Pope mention it......"
Dalton and the others were surprised, and their attitude towards the sail became more friendly.
There was a politeness on both sides.
At this moment, a large area of fiery red projectiles fell from the sky.
"Danger, everyone be careful!"
Inquisitor Campbell let out a loud cry, clenched his right hand, and threw a punch into the air.
A flash of holy power emanated from him, and a cloud of white light lit up from his fist, shattering the falling projectile in all directions.
Cardinal Dalton was casual and asked Fan, "Mr. Yu Fan, the environment here is harsh and dangerous, why did you come here?"
"Looking for something, what about you?" Yu Fan replied briefly and asked in turn.
Dalton replied, "His Majesty the Pope intends to build a new cathedral in the Eastern Hemisphere to serve as the stronghold of the Church of Light in the East. We searched for a long time and never found the right place. The eruption of Taal Volcano this time is likely to change the elemental affinity of Mara City, and we happened to be nearby, so we rushed over to investigate the situation. ”
When Yu Fan heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
The Church of Light has a very wide distribution of influence, occupying more than 90% of the faiths in Europe, North America, and North Africa.
Even in the Eastern Hemisphere, and even in the interior of China, small church branches were implanted.
Under these circumstances, the Pope was not satisfied, and wanted to take root in the East and establish a larger stronghold.
This is already a provocation for the powerful men of the East!
"If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Light Church already has a first-class cathedral in South Asia, right?" Yu Fan said with a slight frown.
Dalton didn't see the sail's displeasure, or rather saw it, but deliberately pretended not to see it.
He smiled casually, "That cathedral in India has limited dispersal power, and it cannot convey the teachings of the Holy Light to the East. The city of Mara is in a better location, and I am sure that His Holiness the Pope will be willing to devote more resources to support its construction. ”
He deliberately bit the word "pope" a lot harder.
There was a faint hint of warning in the words.
As if to say, this is what His Majesty the Pope meant, and whoever wants to stop it will have to bear the sanctions of His Majesty the Pope and the Church of Light.
Yu Fan's face sank.
This Dalton is an old fox, harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but he doesn't know how many bad ideas are hidden in his heart.
"We have an old saying in China, called 'The side of the couch does not allow others to snore'. Mara City is very close to Huaxia, if your church really wants to build a new church here, you should inform the Qingyun Daoist and Master Nima in advance in Huaxia. Otherwise, it will be unpleasant and bad for everyone. ”
Yu Fan said in a calm tone.
Dalton brought out the Pope, and he also brought out two great gods.
Since the death of his master, Taiwei Dao Jun Immortal, the most powerful beings on earth are these three.
Although the Pope was slightly stronger than the two in the East, he was bound to defeat with one against two.
Listening to Yu Fan's words, Dalton's old face froze slightly, "Mr. Yu Fan said with a smile, of course we won't do such an important thing secretly, and we will definitely tell the strong people from all parties in advance." ”
"It's for the best. Yu Fan said lightly. said: "The volcano is about to calm down, let's go one step ahead." ”
Then he dodged and turned into a breeze and floated away towards the top of the mountain.
Dalton, Campbell and the others looked at each other twice, and a flash of murder flashed in their eyes.
"My lord, do you want to ......?"
Inquisitor Campbell had a gloomy look in his eyes and made a neck-scratching motion.
Dalton's golden eyes shimmered, and he whispered, "I can't see his depth, let's follow and see." If you have the chance, think again. ”
