Chapter 160: Yaatullahs (1)
Yaya Volcano, two hundred miles east of the Euro continent on the island of Atolla landmark, legend has it that since the day of its formation, this active volcano with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters will erupt once every 100 years, and the extremely hot lava will ignite almost the entire island, and the volcanic ash will float for more than a month within 100 miles around the volcano.
June 16, 2316, early in the morning.
Under the blue sky, a large ship from the direction of the Longyan Islands put away its sails, lowered its iron anchor, and quietly lowered two small boats after anchoring outside the Ayatollah Island.
Skirting the reef and approaching the shallows, two small boats broke the waves and stopped at the rocky shore that recessed into the east side of the island.
Dragonflies dotted the water, five on one side, a total of ten figures stepped on the sea surface and flew down on the beach, quickly climbed over a huge cliff across the shore, this group of people climbed over the hill, through the rainforest, a main body was surrounded by a lush dense forest, birds and beasts chirped, but the top of the mountain was covered in silver, and a huge volcano covered with snow all the year round stood impressively in front of everyone.
"Okay, I'll wait here," a middle-aged man dressed in indigo cloth and with a short beard looked around him, "Menglin, Wu Ming, you two can go, remember, before tonight, if you two can retrieve the heart of purgatory, you can officially be promoted to the imperial history of Tiance, otherwise you can only wait for next year's big exam, among these two tips are the fire spirit stones that can resonate with the heart of purgatory, they will help you find your target, but how to get it, how to get it and bring it out of Yaya Volcano, it depends on your own ability." ”
After speaking, the red-faced and short-bearded middle-aged man handed over two red brocade bags printed with golden sun wheel fire patterns, one left and one right, to the hands of two young men and women.
The girl is dressed in an oriental dress with blue lines on a white background, she is not tall, not short, not fat or thin, she is just the right pair of delicate figures, with a green bamboo sword on her back, a green gourd hanging from her waist, and her hair is black like water.
That's right, the beautiful girl with two small dimples in this smile is Su Menglin, but at this time she has just turned eighteen, and she has not yet become the imperial history of Tiance.
The name of the person who underwent the big exam with Su Menglin is Wu Ming, who is the same age as the girl, but he is three days older than the girl. It is said that this young man is really not small, but he is the son of Wu Tianyuan, the second-rank car riding general of the Longyan Empire, and he is a natural martial arts wizard.
I saw that this Wu Ming was born with an upper-average figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a straight mouth, and a face like a crown of jade. And it doesn't match his handsome appearance, but his two blades are a broken sword on the back of the back, and a broken knife hangs around the waist, which looks really "shabby".
Bidding farewell to everyone, this pair of heroic young men and women each performed a thousand-mile journey and a flying effort on the land, crossing the forest and leaping streams, and soon came to the foot of the Yaya Volcano, between the rainforests.
"I'm sorry, Menglin, you can only wait for next year. Taking the lead on the tip of a towering giant tree, Wu Ming calmed down his excitement a little, looked up at the top of the mountain, and said in his words.
"Hehe, boy, don't be too presumptuous, this is not the Longyan Islands, no one will help you if something happens, be careful that you don't get it and put your life on the line." Immediately after him was in the treetops, before Su Menglin could speak, the green-skinned gourd big kun hanging on the girl's waist couldn't hold back first.
"Drink, your master hasn't said anything yet, you have to break the gourd first, be careful, Uncle Ben chops you and uses it as a water scoop. ”
"Hey, boy, do you have the ability to try?"
"Try it, see if I don't chop you today. As he spoke, he saw that Wu Ming was going to do it with his arms and sleeves.
"Hey, Da Kun, stop up, Wu Ming, have you forgotten what Lord Zheng said?"
"Hmph, that guy talks a lot of nonsense, I know you mean that?" Stopping, Wu Ming crossed his arms disdainfully and looked at Su Menglin.
"Legend has it that every hundred years in this Yaya volcano, a fire supreme treasure spirit stone with life will be condensed 'Purgatory Heart', according to the astrological heavenly officials, today is the day when the new spirit stone is born, presumably it is not only our majesty who intends to get this treasure. ”
"So what?"
"There are many people who will make trouble and we will win the treasure, so we are not enemies in this exam, everything is best when we find the spirit stone and take it out of Yaya Volcano, and hand it over to Lord Zheng. ”
"Hmph, the more people who come to rob it, the better, why don't it be too lively? Baby, take it to Master Zheng together, you can decide who we are? Your trick is effective for others, but it is useless for Uncle Ben, goodbye." ”
As soon as the words came out, I saw that the young man named Wu Ming jumped headfirst into the rainforest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Because of the warm climate of this Yatolla, there is plenty of rain to irrigate it all year round, and in addition to the rainfall, there is a warm sun and sea breeze to soothe it, which is why this large island has extremely rich species resources.
In addition, the tall and lush trees here are abnormally fast growing, after the Yaya volcano erupts once every 100 years to "destroy" the island, under the impetus of the weather and the strong vitality of various species, the dense rainforest will soon be reborn, like a heavenly creation, covering the Yaya volcano.
Quickly walking along the dense forest, accompanied by the moist breath and the sound of yo you deer from time to time, Su Menglin felt that the true yuan aura in his body was constantly accumulating, as if there was an inexhaustible force shuttling between the meridians of his body.
Not only is this beautiful girl with a graceful demeanor, but even the green bamboo sword and green skin gourd on his body seem to be infinitely moisturized, and his whole body is comfortable.
Especially the naturally chattering big-bellied green skin wine gourd, along the way, it was like an overturned basket of words, endless, and the ears and eyes of those who listened were about to grow calluses.
In this way, with the help of various plants, although I don't know what happened to Wu Ming, this Su Menglin quickly climbed to the top of this volcano with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters.
Sure enough, as seen below, through the dense jungle, as the trees quickly decreased, more and more snow gradually appeared between the rocks of the mountain. Soon, on the top of the mist-shrouded Yaya Mountain, Su Menglin was completely immersed in a white and vast world. All right
"I'll go, it's so cool, come, big sister, let Da Kun and me feel the silky smoothness of this snowy world!"
Su Menglin, who knew that this wine gourd liked ice and snow, had already untied it and held it in his hand, and after listening to it, he threw it on a piece of snow, and in an instant, wisps of white snow flying flowers around the green gourd were haunting and flying with the wind, and the big kun was really beautiful.
"Xiaolin. ”
The green bamboo sword suddenly reminded the girl behind her.
"Got it, Da Kun, come back!"
Su Menglin also obviously noticed something unusual when he heard this, and quickly stretched out his hand towards the wine gourd, and the big kun took off and somersaulted eight and a half times and fell back into the girl's hands.
Flying behind a few huge snow rocks, he looked up, and suddenly there was a wave of elemental fluctuations like a thin wave between a few clouds and mist. Immediately after, in the middle of a large magic array that was born out of thin air, a flying ship of unknown origin suddenly drilled out, floating in the air and hovering in the middle of the crater.
The airship was not very large, and it was not clear from any country in appearance and livery, but it was clearly not a warship, but a small merchant ship.
Moments later, an iron cage was suddenly thrown from directly underneath the small merchant ship.
"It's a man, a young man with a strong build. ”
It was just a fleeting moment, through the clouds and mist and the snowflakes that were swept up by a mountain wind in front of him, Su Menglin actually saw the picture in the cage at a glance.
Throwing down the iron cage, the small merchant ship slowly turned around and accelerated in an instant with the two blue tongues of fire spewed out from the stern of the ship, flying towards the direction of the Western European continent.
"I thought I was going to grab the baby with us, but it doesn't seem to be, it's boring. Alas, I was so excited when I saw the snow that I was sleepy, Lao Chu, the eldest sister handed it over to you, I'll sleep first. The wine gourd Da Kun finally stopped moving after muttering to himself for a while.
He had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't take care of the big kun, Su Menglin quickly jumped to the edge of the crater, leaned over and looked down, there was a black pressure in the mountain pass, and he couldn't see what the situation was at all.
Suddenly, Su Menglin's eyebrows moved, and after quickly looking left and right, he hurriedly took out the bag, touching the red bag that was heating up, Su Menglin quickly took out a hot fire spirit stone from it, and the spirit stone was wrapped in pure fighting spirit by this girl and floated on the palm of her hand.
"Someone is coming. ”
Qingzhu Changjian's voice did not fall, and in other directions on the side of this crater, there were more than a dozen people gathered one after another. There are not many people, but it is not difficult to see that these are all masters.
And in the sky, seven flying ships of different sizes also gathered above the mountain pass one after another, grabbing positions like each other, close to each other. Among these flying ships are three well-armed ironclad warships and a huge black pirate ship with sails.
At this moment, hot dust suddenly rose from the crater, shuttling out with a blazing warm current, and those flying ships quickly dispersed in the process of releasing various types of magic guide mecha or flying equipment, competing to fly down towards the mountain pass.
"This volcano won't erupt suddenly, right?" asked Su Menglin, who was inexplicably frightened in his heart, in a low voice.
"Probably not, it's only been 90 years since the last eruption, and according to the law of once in a century, this volcano is still ten years away from the next eruption. The scattered ships were obviously not afraid of eruptions, but to prevent misfire. Qingzhu Long Sword said.
Having said that, Su Menglin still felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
"Hey, little girl, are you here to hunt for treasure too? ”
Quietly, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared behind Su Menglin.
When I turned around, I saw a handsome young man in a fat robe with red hair floating slightly on the snow, and on his shoulder sat a "dwarf" with small stature, like a doll, with long hair and black clothes.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a slight tremor in the snow, a cow and a horse, two tall three meters away, bare-chested to reveal a strong and angular muscle, and the fierce half-orcs with animal skin skirts on their lower bodies each holding weapons, ignoring Su Menglin and the beautiful boy floating on the snow, suddenly came to the edge of the mountain pass.
"The wizard didn't lie, and there were a lot of treasure hunters here. The Minotaur said.
"The Heart of Purgatory, as long as you get the Heart of Purgatory, you can resurrect our patriarch. The horse-faced man then said.
At this moment, a more violent shaking and sudden cold mountain wind shrouded the area around the pass in a swirling snow!
A strange roar tore through the wind and snow, and with a wave of heat, a rock monster much taller and burder than the bullhead and horse face rolled up, and a half-orc holding the bull head burst out from the crack in the rock, and at the same time, the head of the minotaur was bitten off......
