Cheng Zhong has been accustomed to walking mountain roads since he was a child.

After leaving the cave, he bent down, the soles of his feet were windy, he swam and climbed, and in a blink of an eye he had jumped out of the platform and over the boulder above his head.

Just half an hour later, I could already see the crater on the top of the mountain.

There was a faint smoke wafting from the crater.

The temperature of the rocks on the ground gradually increased, and the feet of Cheng Zhong already had the feeling of stepping on the hot kang.

The heat grows from the soles of the feet, rises down the calves, and reaches the brain.

His pace was getting slower and slower.

Ever since the Barking Spirit God told him that he had to find out the origin of the "iron" mine and had to find Lao Fengniao, Cheng Zhong had already made a decision in his heart.

He must see the old phoenix bird, and he has never hesitated at all.

However, at this moment, he realized that he actually had no idea about how to meet, and it could be said that he was not prepared at all.

As he walked slowly, he used his mind to try to make some assumptions, only to find that it was impossible.

He searched his brain repeatedly, and found very little information.

Except for knowing that "phoenix bird" and "fire" are somewhat related from books, I don't know anything else.

First of all, he didn't know what the "phoenix bird" looked like, or what kind of existence the "phoenix bird" was.

Secondly, he also did not know how to get in touch with the "phoenix bird".

Third, I can't imagine what kind of scene I will meet and communicate with......

"No matter how much, anyway, the Bark Spirit God said to look for it, I firmly believe that I will be able to find it!"

Cheng Zhong shook his head and put all those messy and useless thoughts away.

He stomped his foot, gritted his teeth, and continued to walk forward.

Just thirty meters from the crater, a heat wave rushed in.

Cheng Zhong stopped suddenly.

He hesitated, then quickly took off his shirt and pants, leaving only one pair of trousers.

He folded his shirt and pants carefully, picked them up and turned to run backwards.

He only had this one set of clothes to wear now, and he didn't want to burn them all here.

After running a hundred meters away, he found a shallow pit in the opposite direction from the top of the mountain, and he tucked his clothes and pants into it.

The mountain is very peculiar, and around the top of the mountain, there are many similar shallow pits, which are distributed like fish scales on the slopes on all sides.

"These shallow holes should have been dug by jade miners, and they should be hidden in them in case of emergency, probably to temporarily avoid small-scale magma eruptions. ”

Cheng Zhong thought to himself.

After hiding his clothes and pants, Cheng Zhong no longer has any scruples.

He bent down, his back like a bow, and rushed quickly to the top of the mountain.

Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters, five meters.

It's hot under your feet, and your face is hot.

At this point, according to Cheng Zhong's estimates, the temperature of the air should have reached more than 100 degrees Celsius.

Although his skin has a burning sensation, it is completely bearable, and the key is that his brain is clear, which shows that the magic weapon "Golden Headband" has begun to play a protective role.

In front of Cheng Zhong, there is a large cave with a diameter of about five meters, the mouth of the cave is facing the sky, and the sound of "buzzing" comes from the depths of the big hole, like countless engines buried deep in the ground roaring.

Around the mouth of the cave is the hardest rock, covered with a circle of white jade, the thickness of the jade layer is about five inches, radial, wisps, and it seems that traces left by the magma jet can be seen.

The surface of the jade is as smooth as a mirror, and it sparkles in the light of the stars in the sky.

"These Mingyu should be the best quality!"

Cheng Zhong stepped on the jade while pondering in his heart.

He didn't know how to contact the old phoenix bird, so he had to slowly sit flat on the smooth Mingyu in a daze.

The surface of Mingyu is hot, like a hot kang with more sheep dung simmered in his hometown, which has made Cheng Zhong sweat profusely for a while.

In the light of the brilliant stars, on the spire of a towering island in the middle of the ocean, a half-sized child, naked, sat flat in the crater that could erupt at any moment.

This picture is full of weirdness and tragedy.

A quarter of an hour passed, and there was no movement between heaven and earth except for the roar of the depths of the volcano.

Finally, the boy couldn't help but crawl towards the hole, sticking his head out of the edge of the hole and looking down.

An even hotter breath rushed out, blocking the boy's breathing.

He shook his head, and opened his eyes in disregard, and his eyes were full of red.

The red vision filled the young man's brain in an instant, as if his mind had also turned into a sea of fire.

"Oh, it's a big stove!"

Cheng Zhong hurriedly closed his eyes and retracted his head.

After a pause, Cheng Zhong hesitated for a while, and even wanted to retreat to Li Muxian's stronghold and wait until the volcano erupted before running over to take a look.

"However, I must see the old phoenix bird, and now I can't find it at the mouth of the pit, and when the volcano erupts, won't it be even more difficult to approach?"

Cheng Zhong immediately vetoed his idea.

At this time, the sweat on his head dripped onto the surface of Mingyu, and in the sound of "Zizi", the sweat quickly vaporized and evaporated, and disappeared without a trace.

"Well, since I can withstand 100 degrees Celsius, maybe 1,000 degrees, what am I afraid of?"

Cheng Zhong gritted his teeth and came up with another idea.

The boy put his head out of the hole again and cried out loudly:

"I'm looking for the old phoenix, the old phoenix - the bird - the old - the phoenix - the bird-"

The cave is like a huge trumpet, amplifying the sound of the bell, and also muddying the sound of the bell, and the sound that is fed back into the ears of the bell is:

"La-f-yo-la-f-yo-y-".

Cheng Zhong was startled by his own echo, stopped shouting, and retracted his head again.

After stopping for about a minute, there was finally movement under the hole.

"Chirp, buzz, buzz......"

The front is like a bird's call, and the back is like a human voice.

Although it was loud, I couldn't hear what was being said.

Cheng Zhong stuck his head out again, and what he saw was still red.

He didn't care about "three-seven-twenty-one", shouted down again, then got up and ran away for some distance.

His instinct was that he was too close just now, and the other party's voice was too loud to hear clearly, so he wanted to run farther away.

"Hmph, boy, since you're here, come down!"

An old voice sounded in Cheng Zhong's mind very abruptly.

"Huh? You...... Who are you?"

Cheng Zhong asked as if talking to himself.

"Didn't you look for me, but asked me who I was. ”

The voice in my head said.

"Oh, so you're the ancestor of the phoenix bird?"

Cheng Zhong muttered softly.

He already understood that the old phoenix bird had relied on his supernatural powers to transmit the words directly to his mind.

He didn't dare to call the other party the old phoenix bird again, but obediently called "phoenix bird senior".

Cheng Zhong knows very well that a sweeter mouth will never suffer.

"How can I see you?"

Cheng Zhong said in his heart.

"Jump off, what else can I do!"

The voice replied immediately.

The other party seemed to be able to directly hear Cheng Zhong's words.

"Will you burn me?"

Cheng Zhong hesitated in his heart.

"Hehe, there must be a reason why your kid can sit in the mouth of the fire for so long, and he can't burn you to death?"

The other party seemed to be able to see or hear his thoughts.

"That'...... What if?"

Cheng Zhong muttered in his mouth.

"If you burn to death, what is there to be nostalgic for your weak caterpillar-like body?"

"Still...... Although it is as weak as a caterpillar, it is also given by my father, which is very rare!

Again...... I haven't even married a daughter-in-law, so it's a pity to lose my body like this?"

There is no one else here, Cheng Zhong is simply cheeky and says it very explicitly.

The other party fell silent.

"Or ...... Why don't we just talk like that?"

Cheng Zhong asked in a low voice tentatively.

"Of course it's okay to talk like that, but ......"

The voice said.

"But what?"

Cheng Zhong is a shrewd child, and he knows that behind the "but", the content is often more important.

"However, if I talk like this, I can hold on for five minutes at most, and you will lose a lot of opportunities!"

"That'...... Then it seems that the only way to jump is to jump!" Cheng Zhong thought to himself.

"Ho Ho ......"

The voice laughed, and then there was no more sound.

Cheng Zhong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, afraid that he would hesitate again, so he immediately made a ten-meter sprint, aimed at the acupoint, and jumped up.
