Section 13 The Heart of Molten Fire
However, no matter how much confusion Duran had in his heart, the foodie in front of him who ate a blood melon in the blink of an eye must be a fire-eating beast.
The Flame Lizard's territorial concept is very strong, once other creatures trespass, they will definitely be expelled or even killed, although Abu looks a little similar to the Flame Lizard, but there are also many places that are completely different, and it is probably impossible to fish in the flame lair in troubled waters.
Duran touched Abu's soft head, and sighed in his heart that it was a miracle that such an invulnerable animal could survive in such a harsh environment as the Feinan Continent, but after the emotion, he had to continue to hurry.
So he patted Abu on the head: "I'm leaving, be careful not to run into the lair of flames, maybe next time these flame lizards will poison you." ”
Abu lifted his head in a flattering look, and suddenly rubbed Duran's sleeve with its flat mouth.
Duran was a little puzzled: "Huh? What are you trying to illustrate? ”
Abu turned nimbly and suddenly ran behind Duran, his hind feet erect like a man.
Confused, Duran tried to take a step forward, and the fire-eater followed him.
"Abu ......" Duran asked tentatively, "You want to come with me?" ”
Abu had a flattering look on his face - the variety of expressions on the fire-eater's face was a surprise to Duran, but what was even more amusing was that the guy nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and stared directly at the other blood melon in Duran's arms, and the coveting meaning could not be more obvious.
Duran shook his head and said: "This is not good, I still have important things to do, there are many dangers on the road, you still honestly find a nest nearby......"
Who knew that before Duran could finish speaking, Abu jerked his sleeve with his thin forelimbs, and shouted "Abu Abu" in his mouth, as if to explain something.
At this moment, Duran suddenly began to miss Miss Chloe, as a psychic, even if she could not fully understand Abchit's language, she could still communicate with each other. Where is like himself, he can only speculate on the good intentions of this foodie in front of him.
Abu let go of Duran's hand, and his slender forelimbs suddenly went straight to the side of the mountain, and then jumped vigorously—if three centimeters above the ground could be considered a jump—and then it spun three times with difficulty, almost fainting itself.
Duran stroked his forehead with one hand and began to guess: "Do you want to eat another blood melon?" ”
Abu shook his head angrily, and there was a look on his little face that you thought I was.
"You want to come with me?"
Abu nodded, then shook his head again.
Duran was tempting: "Are you familiar with the neighborhood? ”
Abu finally nodded vigorously, and then let out a strange sound like babble, and pointed his left forelimb at the wall of the lair of flames, waving it vigorously.
Duran took a deep breath, and a possibility suddenly flashed in his heart, and he asked, "Are you saying that you are familiar with this area, and can take me through the lair of flames?" ”
Abu clenched its forelimbs and nodded frantically, and it suddenly fell to its stomach, its limbs pressed to the ground, and crawled nimbly towards the side of the mountain path.
Duran glanced back at the two flame lizards on the mountain path ahead, they were not yet alarmed due to the distance.
Abu ran five or six meters, turned around and shouted eagerly.
Duran gritted his teeth and decided to follow along, although this guy was obviously still in his infancy, he should have been born for a long time, and if he really knew the shortcut to cross the flame lair, then his time would be much more abundant.
The trail winds its way through the exterior of the Flame Lair, and along the way you will encounter a number of Flame Lizards that act as roadblockers. If there were other paths, Duran would certainly be willing to take the shortcut.
So a man and a beast deviated from the mountain road back and forth, and walked to a strange rocky pile on the side.
Although Abu does not have any attack ability, he seems to be very agile, coming and going in the rubble like the wind, and his movements are more agile than Duran's. Duran carefully searched for a safe place to stay in the cracks in the rocks, which seemed to be no danger but could easily stumble on his feet. He had to watch out for anything that might affect his ability to get to the West Hill Pass before the enemy.
Soon, Abu led Duran through a pile of rubble to a high cliff.
Duran's face sank like water, and he looked around carefully, and suddenly felt a little bad in his heart - there were high cliffs all around, there were no vines on the cliffs, and he didn't know how to do spells, so he obviously lost the possibility of climbing the cliffs.
And there are no roads ahead.
"Abu!"
Duran couldn't help but scold: "Are you sure this is a shortcut?" ”
Duran had already begun to wonder if he had misunderstood the meaning of this foodie, could it be that Abu just wanted to invite him to his hometown as a guest?
If that's the case, that's terrible!
Duran couldn't help but scratch his scalp, feeling a little annoyed.
Abu looked cheerful, and when he looked back, he hesitated to see Durran standing behind him, shouted a few words, and then rushed into the shadows under the cliff.
Duran squinted his eyes and followed, but to his surprise, when he stepped into the shadows, he was shocked to find that Abu had disappeared!
"What's going on?" Duran became more and more confused, and at this moment, a familiar cheer suddenly came from under his feet.
Duran looked down and saw a large head poking out from under the cliff.
Duran squatted down in amazement, carefully examined Abu and the small cavern in the depths, and scratched his head, "You don't want me to get in, do you?" ”
Abu nodded happily, his head shrunk sharply, and the fire-eater disappeared in front of the cliff.
Duran was depressed, the cave in this cliff was very small, and ordinary people couldn't enter it at all. However, Duran was small and small, about the same as Abu who was standing upright, and he could barely get in.
"That's it, the big husband can bend and stretch, this thing is not a dog hole, what can't be climbed!"
Hearing Abu's urgent urging from another part of the cliff, Durán turned his heart sideways, and the whole person lay on the ground, crawling forward.
This little cave was not only dark and damp, but also very narrow, and Duran had a hard time crawling in it, after all, he was not a reptile, and he had been bruised by the edges and corners of the rocks.
He originally wanted to give up, but after thinking about it, since he had come here, he would simply hold on and go on, and presumably Abu would not need to deceive himself.
Duran crawled in the darkness for about five minutes, and suddenly the front became soft and open, and Duran stepped up and followed the fire-eater out of the small cave.
When he came to the open area, Duran immediately stood up and cleaned up the thin layer of dust on his body, and Abu also learned to stand on Duran's feet, babbling something to Duran.
At the other end of the cavern was a wide tunnel and space, with bits and pieces of light shimmering above the rocks, and Duran knew that only precious gems could naturally glow. His eyesight was among the best among humans, but in such a gloomy environment, Duran could only see the tunnels in front of him in all directions, the surrounding cliffs turning from damp to dry, and the only consolation was that at least for the rest of the journey, Duran would not have to crawl forward.
"Abu, is this the belly of the Lair of Flames? Are you sure you have a way to take me straight through the lair of flames to the other side of the mountain? ”
Duran couldn't help but tug at Abu's neck, and the Fireseater nodded confidently, as if enjoying Duran's massage very comfortably, his eyes narrowed into a line.
After enjoying himself, Abu lay down again, beckoned to Duran, and continued his journey into the depths of darkness.
Duran was silent and quickly followed.
The interior of the lair of flames was far deeper and hotter than Duran had imagined, and as a man and a beast traveled through the interior of the mountain, Duran only felt that the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the air was stuffy.
This walk, Duran estimated that he walked for a full hour.
Although Abu's path seemed a little unreliable, Duran noticed that there were also many traces of flame lizards entrenched in the mountainside. Abu took Duran all the way, but he was not noticed by any of the flame lizards, which shows that the little guy is really leading the way.
The stone walls in front of him began to turn dark red, and the temperature around them almost turned like a crater, Abu suddenly stopped and cautiously said to Duran, "Abu......"
Duran wanted to cry without tears: "I don't understand......"
Abu gave a very dejected expression, and then tiptoed around the sharp bend ahead.
Duran's heart moved, Abu had been very cautious all the way before, but he had never shown such an expression.
"He's reminding me to be careful? Is there something big about it ahead? ”
Duran moved lightly against the edge of the stone wall, this is amazing, Duran suddenly found that the stone wall is incredibly hot!
"What the hell is this place? Abu won't take me to the underground lava layer, will he? A dark cloud drifted through Duran's heart, and to be on the safe side, he launched a skill stealth.
As a vague fog shrouded Duran, he rounded the rocks in front of him just right, and in the next second, endless firelight appeared in front of him.
Duran stared at all this in front of him dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word-
Ahead is an endless abyss, and below the abyss is golden-red interlaced lava, and the boiling magma with boiling heat seems to be about to rush to the face, and the sky is spinning!
A strong smell of sulfur floated in the air, and an old suspension bridge drove from the other end of the abyss to Duran's face.
However, what surprised Duran the most was that there was a thick chain hanging from under the drawbridge, and under the chain, near the magma, hung a fist-sized crimson gem!
"Molten Heart!" Duran almost cried out.
