The volcanic island is a small island 100,000 miles north of the Heavenly Star Academy, just like its name, the volcanoes are dense and erupt frequently, so the environment is extremely harsh, from the outside the sky is a red from a distance, the air is floating in the tiny volcanic ash, after years of accumulation and immersion, it has undergone some subtle changes, becoming extremely poisonous, if you accidentally inhale into the body, even strong cultivators will not be spared.

And in its harsh environment, all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts are raging, and the grade is not low, and with the blessing of home advantage, it can often burst out with extremely terrifying power in the end, so this can be regarded as an inaccessible place of right and wrong, that is, the martial artist, no, it is the martial arts strong man who comes in person, and there is no special means to protect himself, it must be very uncomfortable.

So if it's not something important, others will definitely not want to set foot in it.

Ye Chen had also obtained all kinds of information about the volcanic island before, and it was only when he stepped on it in person that he realized that he still underestimated the horror of the volcanic island.

"The environment here is much worse than you expected. Ye Chen whispered, at a glance, there was no grass growing on the red land, and the fire poison wafting in the air was thinking about penetrating the protective shield and devouring them all the time.

Looking at the two people around her again, Nangong Yan looked at everything indifferently and didn't deliberately do anything, but the fire poison avoided her, and the other person was Tang Mo of the Xichuan Tang family, his cultivation was also very good, and he ignored the fierce fire poison as nothing.

There are also three little creatures who seem to have fully adapted to the environment and do not appear to be out of the ordinary.

"Let's go, time is running out. Tang Mo spoke up, he was the initiator of this operation, so he naturally had to take on the responsibility of guiding the way, and he would take the lead after saying a word.

Ye Chen and Nangong Yan glanced at each other, knowing what each other meant, and followed directly without any hesitation.

Along the way, except for some scattered fire-type demonic beasts, they couldn't encounter any threats, and they were surprisingly smooth, which was something to be happy about, but the three of them frowned, looking very eager.

Behind all the unusual, something unforeseen must have happened. That's what they thought in their hearts.

"Hopefully we can catch up. Tang Moxin said, not far ahead, the mountains suddenly shook, and then raised his eyes to see, thousands of miles away the volcano erupted, and from a distance, you could see the fiery red magma rushing to the sky and burning half of the sky, followed by billowing smoke and dust, and the group was swept into it without reacting.

In the astonishing heat and the suffocating aura of destruction, they each built a defense, forcibly resisted.

"It seems that we have come at a bad time. Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"No, it's not a natural phenomenon. Nangong Yan whispered, through the restless air, she sensed some very unusual coercion, violent and angry, and unyielding determination.

"Looks like we're still late. Tang Mo said, his face was solemn, and he took the lead in tearing through the thick smoke and flew over, Ye Chen and the others hurriedly followed for fear that he was in danger.

For a short quarter of an hour, they approached the erupting crater, and there was no place for them to stand on the lava at their feet, so they could only rely on secret methods to fly in the sky, but they also had to block the rolling turbulence from all sides, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to move an inch.

And after getting closer, Ye Chen was finally able to determine that this volcanic eruption was indeed not a natural phenomenon, and the powerful aura in the air could no longer be concealed, and it was as strong as Nangong Yandu's face was flushed, and his breathing was a little unsmooth.

"Mom, look. Xiao Meng on his shoulder reminded Ye Chen to look ahead.

A huge phantom covered the heavens and the earth, followed by a terrible cry, and in an instant, the wind danced wildly and the sky swirled, and a group of people in the storm could not help but float around, vaguely locked by the killing intent to the bone, and they couldn't get rid of it.

The world was plunged into darkness, the breath of death was scattered in all directions, they could only gather in one place to run the fighting spirit to resist the invasion of foreign invaders, every second in the darkness was an unspeakable torment, they heard the roar of heaven and earth, the eardrums almost exploded, and this torture lasted for half an hour.

When the turmoil gradually calmed down, he slowly recovered from the chaos, and after confirming that they were okay, he looked into the sky and saw the true face of the behemoth.

A bird-like creature, covered in red feathers, its wings cover the sky and its eyes are superb, and the power of the king reigns over the world.

"This is Suzaku?!" Ye Chen asked the people around him with a blank expression, after hearing Xiao Meng's description before, he sketched the appearance of this monster in his mind, and felt that it should be a high-level fire type demonic beast, even more powerful than his fourth-order flame bird.

But Ye Chen didn't expect that he had guessed wrong, and it was very wrong, he had seen the description of the Vermilion Bird in the book, which was not much different from the thing in front of him.

Could this be the purpose of their trip? If that was the case, Ye Chen felt that he was crazy.

Nangong Yan is also in a general posture, she listened to Ye Chen's words before, and came with her out of trust, but the opponent is Suzaku, which may not be within her control.

"It's Suzaku. Tang Mo said with great certainty.

"You should have said it earlier. Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"I wouldn't have come if I had said you wouldn't have come. Tang Mo said, it seems a little embarrassing, after all, it is not a glorious thing to pit two juniors. Love more than the book city

“......”

Ye Chen didn't know what to say, just as Tang Mo said, if he had known that this would be the case, he would not have come even if he was killed.

What is Suzaku?

One of the four spirits of the legend, the absolute divine beast level, was the existence at the top of the food chain, Ye Chen didn't think that with the strength of their few people, he could fight against it, let alone subdue it for his own use.

"Actually, I can't help it, if we don't fight, I'm afraid he will really be subdued by the Tang family, and with the Tang family's beast control methods, it will definitely be very miserable in the future. Tang Mo explained, he instructed the two of them to see, there were four people around Suzaku, they could fly in the sky without the help of foreign objects, this is the means of the Martial King, and the power that erupted from his body was even more amazing, and the four of them worked together to build a magic circle that could trap the divine beast Suzaku in it.

"Suzaku was already seriously injured and dying. Tang Mo explained, otherwise, with its might, the four martial kings would not be able to do anything about it.

"Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Ye Chen frowned and said.

"What do you mean?" Tang Mo was puzzled, but Nangong Yan's face moved slightly, as if she had guessed some key details, and at the same time she probed with her divine thoughts, and slowly, her good-looking brows also wrinkled.

"Do you notice something is wrong?" Ye Chen asked.

"Well, its own injury is a reason, and another point that cannot be ignored is that its blood is not pure enough or sacred enough. Nangong Yan whispered.

"Do you think it's congenital or acquired?" Ye Chen asked her.

"I can't tell, maybe it's all possible. Nangong Yan couldn't see through it.

"Are you guys playing dumb riddles?" Tang Mo felt that these two guys were definitely deliberate, God and Shinto, and what they said was all the words he didn't understand.

"The legendary Vermilion Bird is at the level of the overlord of heaven and earth, and the overlord cannot be bullied, even after being injured, but now it is besieged by four martial kings and powerhouses, but it is flawless, which shows that its bloodline is not pure enough, how to describe it?"

"There is a form but no god. Nangong Yan reminded.

"That's right, that's the way it is, its combat power is worthy of the title of divine beast. As for whether the cause of this result is congenital defect or nurture, we will not consider this question for the time being, but let's discuss another question that is closely related to us, that is, why Suzaku was injured, or who was injured by another question. Ye Chen analyzed.

"This ......" Tang Mo was speechless, because he really didn't know what the answer was.

"As for who attacked, we don't know for the time being, but one thing is certain, after being injured, the Vermilion Bird, whose strength plummeted after being injured, is still capable of resisting the four great martial kings who have the Imperial Beast Array as a reliant, so we can speculate how strong its peak combat power is, and then so on, what kind of realm can it be in that person who can injure it to death? Can you imagine?" Ye Chen asked.

"This ......" Tang Mo was still embarrassed, he only brought people here to help Suzaku with enthusiasm, and after listening to Ye Chen's words, he realized that he had overlooked too many important details.

"Speaking of now, let's not talk about whether we can snatch the Vermilion Bird back from the hands of the four great martial kings, even if we rob it, what if we rob it?" Ye Chen asked.

"Well, the first point, as a divine beast, Suzaku has its own arrogance, will it really obey our dispatch or be able to accept our kindness?" Nangong Yan asked.

"The second point, even if the above is true, in the end, we still have to face the injuries on Suzaku's body, and with its recovering power against the sky, we can't do anything about it, what can the three of us do for it?" Ye Chen added to Nangong Yan's words.

The questions of the two juniors hit the soul directly, and they speculated step by step to the end, the meaning they wanted to express was obvious, they couldn't save the injured Suzaku today!

"Could it be that we really don't do anything and watch it fall into the hands of the Tang family?" Tang Mo clenched his fists, looking extremely unwilling.

"Everything has a certainty, and we need to do what we can. Ye Chen whispered, as far as personal feelings were concerned, he couldn't bear to see Suzaku suffer so much, but he had to make a move...... There is really no chance of winning, and in the end, you will only lose your life in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"So, go back. Ye Chen whispered, but Tang Mo didn't move, for some reason, even Nangong Yan, who was on the same front as him, actually looked at the Suzaku trapped in the magic circle in a daze, slowly, her body trembled and her eyes were covered with a faint mist, her state was really strange to the extreme.

"Miss Nangong, are you okay?" Ye Chen called out cautiously.

"I ...... A voice was heard. Nangong Yan said blankly.

"What sound?" Ye Chen and Tang Mo were curious.

"She told me to save it. Nangong Yan said, irrepressibly, tears are like beads with broken threads, heartbroken......
