After several weeks of traveling, Ding Zhi and the three finally came to the southernmost port in the Huaguo region and boarded the liaison ship to Tianhuo City.

If there is any famous thing about Tianhuo City, it is of course the hot springs, but it is overcrowded, and no matter which inn is full.

"What should I do?" Song Lina was depressed, "If we continue like this, we will have to sleep on the streets, I hate it, people still want to soak in the hot springs." ”

"Don't worry, I've already booked a spot."

Ding Zhi was prepared for this, and booked the room by phone a few days ago, and the price was really not cheap.

However, the previous incident brought a great psychological shadow to Song Lina, and Ding Zhi ordered her to relax a little, so he did not hesitate to book the most luxurious hot spring hotel.

Of course, there is also the reason for the additional income coming to the account, that is, the verbal agreement with Dr. Ye Qiuye before, that is, the introduction fee of the annual salary.

As Ding Zhi thought, Dr. Ye Qiuye had no intention of repaying the account at all, and happily transferred the money to Ding Zhi's account, with a total of 300,000, which means that Dr. Ye Qiuye had an annual salary of one million when he first joined the Scarlet Group.

However, Ding Zhi felt that this was completely taken for granted, after all, people had read books for decades, and even the finished products had been created, which means that the Scarlet Group could be mass-produced as long as it was studied a little, and the profit was not only thousands of times, but Dr. Ye Qiuye's million annual salary was a drop in the bucket.

The three of them enjoyed a hot spring bath and delicious food in the inn, and the fatigue caused by the long journey was instantly swept away.

After the break, Ash also began to prepare for the next gym battle, since Xia Bo is good at fire-type elves, so he went to the store to buy some special burn medicine in case he needed it from time to time.

At noon, after the three of them had eaten, according to the map, they came to the Tianhuo Gym, and found that the Daoist Hall had collapsed, and it seemed that it had collapsed for a while, and it was very dilapidated.

"How so?" Ding Zhi took out the map suspiciously, it showed this, that's right!

Song Lina also stretched her head over, looked at the map, and then looked around, and said with a slight strangeness: "It's indeed here, but why has this gym collapsed?"

"Yo, two boys and girls!" Just as Ding Zhi and Song Lina were about to leave and ask the locals, a middle-aged man with black hair and sunglasses appeared in front of the two.

"Is there something wrong?" Ding Zhi looked at the person in front of him lightly.

"Haha! Young man, you're here to challenge the Heavenly Fire Gym, right?" The middle-aged man didn't care much about Ding Zhi's attitude, so he smiled and asked.

"Do you know the Heavenly Fire Dao Pavilion?" Ding Zhi looked at the middle-aged man and raised his right eyebrow.

"That's right!" The man nodded, "I can tell you where the gym is, but you need to answer me a question!"

Ding Zhi heard that the other party knew the location of the gym, and although he wanted to answer a question, he felt that it didn't matter, so he nodded.

"Good!" The middle-aged man saw that Ding Zhi agreed, so he asked the question: "What is the cold head and warm body?"

Ding Zhi and Song Lina looked at each other, thinking that this middle-aged man was going to ask something, but in the end, he actually asked a brain teaser?

But Ding Zhi and Nazi are really not good at this, and they have never played brain teasers.

Although this is the case, it is indeed difficult for the two of them, Song Lina thought for a while, and replied lightly: "Hot springs."

"That's right! The girl answered correctly! It's a hot spring!" The middle-aged man nodded and said in an exaggerated voice.

Xia Bo first nodded with a smile, and then continued: "This place used to be a place of longing for trainers, but since one day when the hot springs were dug up, Tianhuo City has completely transformed into a place where he suddenly knelt down on the road in a very exaggerated manner, looking up to the sky and roaring: "Oh my God! What a sigh this is! ”

"Ugh."

Song Lina was blackened by his exaggerated acting skills, but she still kindly comforted, "Uncle, don't be so sad, in fact, the hot springs are not bad." ”

"Hmph, a little girl like you won't understand, alas, young people nowadays." It's a pity that the middle-aged people don't appreciate it, but they still teach it in an old-fashioned way.

"What?" Song Lina immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, uncle, you should be from Tianhuo Island, right?" Do you know Mr. Muxia? He is a trainer of the Heavenly Fire Gym. ”

Seeing someone ask himself, the middle-aged man's eyes under the sunglasses suddenly flashed with a fine light: "What is it that is close and can't be seen?" ”

"Another puzzle?"

Song Lina was a little impatient, but she still endured her temperament and thought about it, and replied after a while: "Is it eyelids?" ”

"That's right again! Little girl, your brain is very smart! The middle-aged man stretched out his thumb and complimented.

"Now, can you tell us the location of the gym?" Ding Zhi gave Song Lina an appreciative look, and then looked at the middle-aged man.

"Since it has been promised, of course I will tell you!" The middle-aged man nodded, then ripped off the hair on his head, took off his sunglasses, and revealed his original appearance, it turned out that this person was not middle-aged, but an old man!

"Ha, Mr. Ding Zhi, Miss Song Lina, Miss Li Zi, welcome to Tianhuo City, it's Mu Xia, the owner of the Tianhuo Dao Pavilion, you can just call me Xia Bo!" The old man laughed and couldn't tell that it was an old man who was already sixty or seventy years old.

"It turns out that you are Mr. Xia Bo, and you were rude just now." Ding Zhi bent down slightly. Said.

"It's okay, after all, it's because my disguise is too successful!" Xia Bo replied with a smile, slightly smug.

"Mr. Xia Bo, I'm here to challenge the Gym, please fight against me." Ding Zhi issued a declaration of challenge.

"No problem, follow me......" Xia Bo nodded, and left the old gym with Ding Zhi and Song Lina, heading towards the crater.

Along the way, Ding Zhi was a little puzzled, why was the original Daoist Hall closed? So he asked Shabber a question.

"Mr. Shabber, why did you move the gym to the volcano?" Ding Zhi asked as he followed Xia Bo.

"It's okay to call me Xia Bo, no need for sir." Xia Bo corrected Ding Zhi's title, and without waiting for Ding Zhi to answer, he said the issue of closing the original gym, "In the past, this was a holy place in the minds of researchers and trainers, but after the hot springs were excavated, more and more tourists came here to play, and more and more trainers came here to challenge the gym with entertainment, which annoyed me, so I closed the gym at the foot of the mountain and moved the gym to the mountain." ”

After Ding Zhi heard the reason, he nodded, the gym challenge is an important thing, if it is to satisfy his own mentality of playing, it is indeed disrespectful to the gym trainer.

"I have two arenas now, one is in the crater, which is the arena where I am ready to fight for a strong challenge." Xia Bo took Ding Zhi and Song Lina and was already about to arrive at the crater, "The other one is under the hot spring inn I run now, which is used to deal with ordinary challengers. ”

"Why prepare two places?" Ding Zhi asked suspiciously, is this looking down on ordinary challengers?

Xia Bo explained for Ding Zhi: "Against ordinary challengers, their strength is not strong, and the narrow stage of the battle can make them better respond, but for the masters, that stage can only limit their play."

Ding Zhi heard this, nodded understandingly, indeed, a trainer who is not strong can have a better performance in a small place, because the place is small, it is easier for him to let his elf hit the opponent.

On the contrary, the master duel, the broad stage can show more tactics and not be limited by space.

"It's here!" Xia Bo took the two of them to the highest place, the crater!

This crater is alive, with magma underneath, and several rock pillars erected in the huge crater, which is the battle stage of the Heavenly Fire Gym!
