In the smoky crew room, Donk sat across from Rose, who was alone and Rose was accompanied by beautiful women.

"Donke, I reminded you a long time ago to bring a woman to save the journey loneliness, you don't agree, how about it, now you regret it?" Rose asked with a grin, holding a blonde elf beauty in his arms and a cigarette butt in his other hand. The elven beauty snuggled up to her man's chest, looking at Donk opposite, she kept smiling forever, and it was incomprehensible.

"It's not that easy to make a pirate leader regret it." Donk fiddled with his empty glass, he was alone, and Wendy and the rest of the pirate group had left for a new territory.

In accordance with the laws governing the treatment of royal pirates, the Greenland Empire appointed Overseers to Donk, one of whom was on the Flame, making it inconvenient for Donk to bring the Flame. Otherwise, he would have liked to have the Flame follow him in case he could use it later.

Although Tang Ke is alone, this time it is not possible to do it with many people.

"Oh? You're not hard at that, are you? Rose smiled wickedly and kissed the face of the beautiful woman in her arms. Because of the fact that Rose brought the woman on board, Admiral Hannibal lost his temper no less. But Rose was determined not to change his mind, and if he could not bring the woman, wine, and tobacco on board, he would disobey his father's orders.

"I'm not as bored as you seem, and I'm looking forward to the trip to Lava Island, and I'm even a little excited." Donk looked at the light reflected from the mouth of the cup, which was as bright as his gaze.

"I advise you not to be so optimistic, before leaving, I asked the soothsayer for a divination, and the old lady said that I was a big murderer and told me to be careful." Rose muttered, "My father heard such a proverb and still forced me to participate in this mission. I really don't know what he thinks, I can't be his own, right? ”

"If you find a soothsayer for divination, I'm sure I'll be a big murderer every time I go to sea, so don't worry about it."

"Yes, anyone who runs into a place like Lava Island will be judged as a murderer. In the records I know, there was once an eighth-order powerhouse who broke into lava island with a group of people, but he still didn't get out alive. Since then, few people have dared to fight the idea of lava islands. It has become an equivalent of hell. Rose lowered his voice and pressed the burnt cigarette butt into his plate and extinguished it.

"There are dangers, but it's also a great joy in life to be able to go to a dangerous place like lava island." Donk was able to appreciate the feeling of being torn between profit and danger, and was fascinated by it.

"Hehe, is this the so-called 'pirate romance'? The spirit of Captain Tang Ke is really admirable. The elven beauty stared at Tang Ke with appreciative eyes, then raised her hand and drew a picture on her lover's face, "Rose, I seem to be empathetic." ”

Rose smiled bitterly, "Women are really unreliable creatures, but that's what makes people fascinated." ”

Suddenly, the Mercury's deck bell rang out with a rapid clanging sound.

Rossben was about to kiss the beautiful woman in his arms, but his lips had to stop in mid-air, and he frowned and complained: "It's really not the right time for the bell to ring, what happened?" ”

Donk had already guessed the probability, and he staggered to his feet, saying as he went, "We might be to Lava Island." ”

"Already on Lava Island?" Rose let go of his embrace and followed. The elven beauty restrained her smile as if her work was over.

Donk reached the deck of the Mercury, walked through the crowd of sailors, and looked out to sea.

The blue sea was filled with mist, faintly casting the outline of an island, the whole island was red, and there were three large flat-mouthed volcanoes on it, and rolling hills, like the back of an evil dragon. Because of the heat, the air near the island is blurry.

The sailors whispered, most nervous, a few praying for a safe trip, and some glad they didn't have to go ashore.

There were only seven people who really had to go ashore and take risks. The Mercury simply needs to be on standby at sea.

"Fountain of Fire......" Donk muttered in a low voice. He longs for the Fountain of Fire, but he will face many difficulties, first, he must not turn against the Greenland Empire, and secondly, he must be able to defeat the Fountain of Fire.

The other conscripts were also gazing at the outline of the island in the distance. Hannibal, who led the team, said in a deep voice: "It's time to get there, let's hurry up and pack our things." Today we are going to go ashore and settle down, waiting for the Fountain of Fire to appear. I don't need to say much about the dangers on the island, so everyone should be careful when they go ashore. ”

"My nightmare is finally coming." Rose let out a long sigh.

"Honey, I wish you a nice trip." The elf beauty gave her lover a kiss that encouraged her interest.

"May the Holy Lord be with me and bless me on this journey." Nanni prayed with the white Word in her arms.

The Mercury is a fourth-order magic ship with the ability to accelerate the water element, and it takes no time to reach Lava Island. The heat wave on the island was blowing in their faces, and the people on the deck were getting hot and sweaty, and when they came down, the hull of the ship seemed to be roasted at any moment, and the water spilled on the deck had already dried up.

A group of seven people went ashore, in addition to the five people who were scheduled for Tang Ke and others, there were two new people who went ashore together. They are Randall, a fifth-order swordsman, and Fergil, a fifth-order fighter. Randall is very similar to Aru, both of them are silent, and they are both officers in the army, but Randall is a little more fierce, which can be seen from the scar on his face. Virgil was a mercenary who had joined in purely out of money, his fists covered with white bandages all day, and his greatest hobby was counting gold coins and clenching his fists.

It was Virgil and Aru who were in charge of carrying the luggage, and although the seven of them carried a lot of belongings, these things were as light as nothing to the two of them.

Soon after Tang Ke went ashore, he was prompted by the system and obtained information on the island.

Island: Lava Island.

Country: Greenland Empire.

Description: This island has two major characteristics, one is dangerous, and the other is hot. Because many adventurers with dreams are buried here, it has become a forbidden place for people to talk about it.

Armament: 1207.

Commerciality: 0.

Technology: 0.

Opinion: ☆ Building: None.

Special Location: Abyss Camp (In ancient times, a camp left behind when the Abyss Plane attacked the Material Plane, due to the Great Tribulation, the teleportation array connecting to the Abyss has long been damaged, and it can no longer be circulated between the two planes) Coordinates: w188n89.

The information is there, but there are not many useful clues.

Donk solves the mystery of the island and knows where the danger zone is in the heart of the island's volcano, but he can't get a specific map. The information given by the system is also limited and not detailed.

"It turned out to be a camp left by the abyss plane, no wonder so many masters will go in and never return, the abyss is the territory of demons, and I am a warlock, I have always been with demons, this may become an advantage for me. The armed strength of this island is as high as more than a thousand, which is higher than that of ordinary ports, so it is no wonder that the powerhouses of the eighth order have never returned. ”

Tang Ke's heart even sounded a retreat, but then he took out the ruthlessness in his bones and wiped out the distracting thoughts. He walked ahead and looked around, it was a barren place, even the stones were about to be roasted, and the temperature was at least forty degrees, and even higher after approaching the volcano. He had been prepared, and he was wearing the lightest silk clothes, but he was quickly soaked with sweat.

Rose was the first to complain: "It's really hot here, do you want to force me, a gentleman, to take off my shirt?" ”

"This trip is going to be very hard, and since you have come, you should all be aware, and I don't want to hear any more complaints. Hurry up and get to the bottom of the volcano before nightfall. Ninety percent of Hannibal's words were addressed to Ross.

Rose frowned at this, but didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"Let the mercy of the Lord be transformed into a tender protection that will come upon us, and in the face of such grace we will be grateful and more pious." Nanni let out an old but still pleasant prayer, and her hands sprouted two soft lights that swung back and forth to hit the crowd. Everyone was bathed in white light, and their expressions were much more relaxed.

Donk didn't feel the heat any less, but his body was much more comfortable, and he cast a grateful look at Nanny.

"Although the cooling effect of the magic is not comparable to that of water magic, everyone will be more or less comfortable in this way." Nannie smiled kindly.

Everyone thanked Nanni, and Nanni said that this was a matter of duty, and there was no need to say thank you. At Hannibal's urging, the group set off again.

Tang Ke thought that Nanni, as a priest, would be very slow, but he didn't expect that after Nanni used magic on herself, her speed increased a lot, and she didn't lag behind. This gave Donk a new understanding of the priest, and he also had a little more expectation for Zack, the dark priest in the pirate group.

This place is extremely dangerous, and everyone doesn't want to be too ostentatious, so they are all running honestly forward. The only thing that was Druid Hannibal was special was that he was transformed into a galloping horse with a flaming foot, with a vigorous and fast pace.

The seven men marched for about ten minutes, through a rugged mountainous terrain, and finally met the island's first living creature.

A red fox with a burning tail scurrying among the rocks, and after noticing the movement of the seven, it turned its head to look, and there was a bit of cunning in its round eyes.

"There are animals in places like this." Rose stood still, staring at the flaming fox with interest.

"It's a land beast, it's called a 'fire fox', don't take it lightly, if it is provoked, it can unleash fire, and its power is comparable to that of a first-order magician." Hannibal reminds that although he has become a steed, his expression is as rigid as ever.

"This firefox looks pretty cute, do you want to catch her back as a pet?" Rosemoe rubbed his smooth chin and thought earnestly.

Tang Ke didn't care what others thought, he raised his hand with a knife, slashed out a sharp energy, and cut the fire fox in two. The reason why he is so ferocious is to activate the recruitment option of Firefox.

"Donk, you're violent." Rose complained that he was really planning to take Firefox away.

Hannibal, in a rare way, was on the same side as Ross, and said to Donk: "Don't do anything superfluous, lest you get into trouble, for there are many dangerous beasts outside this island, and it would be trouble if you alarm them." ”

"The Firefox is very intelligent, and if it sees us and goes back to report to the clan, isn't it a problem?" Donk shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Because they're smart, they don't attack unfamiliar creatures. The next time you encounter a beast, no one is allowed to attack without my order. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Don Kelian said yes three times.

Hannibal regained his silence, and the group continued on their way, reaching the foot of a volcano before dark. There are three large volcanoes and more than thirty caves on the island, and no one knows where the Fountain of Fire will come from, so it's a matter of luck. In the plan, they would change the location of their camp at regular intervals until the Fountain of Fire appeared.

Aru, Randall, and Virgil all had a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, and they quickly chose a suitable location to be stationed in. Seven people worked together, and it didn't take long to set up seven tents. They came here to endure hardship, and they brought limited food and clothing, and if the water ran out, they had to go back to the shore to get it from the Mercury.

Hannibal proposed to eat, but everyone had eaten on the boat during the day, and it was so hot that they said they had no appetite, so the dinner had to be lost, and even the initiator Hannibal himself did not eat a bite. Hannibal then repeated his plan for the island, arranging the rules for taking turns to stand guard, as well as the time and order of the guards.

"I'll go back to the tent and read the poetry book, and call me when it's my turn to stand guard, and if there's a firefox around, remember to catch one for me." Rose waved his hand and walked straight into his tent.

Donk turned around and walked to the tent a second time, he planned to go back to the tent and wander around the abyss, trying to find a talkative demon to ask, maybe get some clues.

At this moment, the volcano on the side of the tent let out a violent rumbling sound, the sound grew louder and louder, and it didn't take long to become deafening. The tremors disturbed the beasts all over the island, triggering roars like a symphony of tyrannical chaos. The volcano and the earth trembled, the rocks from the high places rolled down, and the ground at the bottom cracked, as if the end was coming.

The six people who were still outside the tent were taken aback and hurriedly looked up at the movement of the volcano. Rose quickly rushed out of the tent as well, and the book of poetry in his hand fell to the ground.

"I guess I'm so lucky! Just came across the Fountain of Fire? Ross asked whimsically.

"I think it's more like a volcano is about to erupt." Mercenary Virgil guessed.

"What luck, it's bad luck, if the volcano does erupt, we have to evacuate now." Donk smiled bitterly, ready to turn around and run.

The seven watched nervously for a while, but the expected eruption did not appear, and the anger of the earth gradually subsided, and the roars of beasts everywhere also quieted down. Tang Ke breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat, even he couldn't stop the splash of magma, unless he used sword qi to protect his body.

"Hey, I'm getting less and less fond of this place." Rose, who had always been hippie and smiling, looked up to the sky and sighed.

"If you didn't want to come, you should have quit a long time ago, but since you're here, don't complain to me!" Hannibal snorted and reprimanded.

Rose was a generation lower, and he was not hard-mouthed, so he honestly picked up the poetry book on the ground and slipped into the tent.

Donk stayed where he was, staring at the volcano for a moment, his mind fluttering.

…… Just as Tang Ke and his party had just arrived at Lava Island, on the sea leading to Lava Island, a phoenix made of flames was speeding away. Wherever the phoenix passed, all the sea water below turned into steam, and it spewed up, leaving a white mist on the surface of the sea.

The temperature of the Flame Phoenix far exceeded that of ordinary flames, but in the belly of the flames, there were actually two figures! The two are an old man and a young man, both wearing magician robes and embroidering the national emblem of Xiyao Kingdom on their chests. The old man is the famous immortal phoenix. Kelly, and the melancholy young man was his student Metchi.

In the process of rapid progress, Meech had always had a bitter face, and he suddenly muttered: "I hope this trip will not be in vain." ”

The old man who controlled the phoenix's advance raised his hand and patted the student's back, comforting: "Don't be discouraged, although we haven't been able to find the Fountain of Fire after walking a few hot places, there are still many places where the Fountain of Fire may appear. I had a hunch that there was a good chance of a fountain of fire on the lava island in front of me. As long as we find a resurrection fountain, we can use this resurrection fountain to find other resurrection fountains, and then it will be easy. ”

"I hope so. We tossed and turned for months, but we couldn't find even a resurrection fountain, and we don't know when and when we could gather it. I miss Alice so much, I really want to be reunited with her soon. Meech looked nostalgic, and his eyes were as gentle as promise.

"If only you could put this mind into cultivating magic." The old magician hated the meaning that iron does not make steel.

"Teacher, I'm really sorry that because of Alice's matter, you have spent so much effort." Meech bowed his head apologetically.

"It's okay, as long as you concentrate on learning magic later. In that case, my efforts will not be in vain. ”

"Teacher, don't worry, as long as I can resurrect Alice, I will definitely work hard to learn magic in the future, and I will never fail the teacher's great kindness."

Mezzie nodded and said, "That's fine." According to my calculations, it will take another two weeks to fly. Seeing that you are in such a hurry, let's speed up a little more. ”

The flame phoenix flicked its wings, its speed suddenly increased, and it turned into an incomparably fast red shadow, quickly disappearing where the sea and the sky met.

The arrival of this pair of magicians and apprentices has added new variables to the competition for the Fountain of Fire.
