Chapter 160: Volcanoes

In the next second, a red light suddenly emitted from the center of the totem.

The huge flame beast was actually sucked in by the Xuanhuo Jian like a long whale absorbing water, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And the flame totem with the eight fierce god patterns in the middle of the air, after losing the flame beast, also slowly disappeared.

The entire hall suddenly fell silent.

And above the head, where the Flame Beast appeared just now, a circular hole leading to the second layer was revealed.

Go to the second floor.

Except for the faint red light of the round hole at the entrance, it was pitch black all around, but in the depths of the darkness, there was also something that emitted a faint light.

It was a stone platform more than half a person high, in the shape of a cylinder, the whole stone was completely different from the surrounding red rocks, exuding a faint coolness, and at the same time, the shimmer light emitted from the stone pillar was constantly changing colors, sometimes reddish, sometimes light purple, sometimes goose yellow, sometimes green, very beautiful.

And above the plane of the stone platform, there is a ring-shaped indentation, next to which are engraved three words:

Xuanhuojian.

Needless to say, this is most likely a mechanism that needs to be opened with the Xuanhuo Jian.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen also took out the Xuanhuo Jian and put it in according to the location of the dent.

"Click-"

It was tightly sealed, as if the Xuanhuo Jian had been placed here.

Then there was a dull sound overhead, and as before, the stone slab above his head slowly retreated in a low voice and a stone cave appeared.

Almost at the same time, the temperature around him suddenly dropped unbelievably suddenly, from the original heat to the cold as ice in an instant.

Lined with that faint red light.

You can even see a trace of cold white air floating down from the round hole leading to the third floor.

Stepping into the third layer, you will be surrounded by dark blue ice, as if you are in a world of ice and snow.

"You...... Not Shangguan Ce? What about the old guy? ”

A low, slightly surprised female voice sounded faintly in the depths of the darkness.

"Dead, killed by me."

"Dead?"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the female voice was stunned at first: "You can actually kill Shangguan Ce, and with your cultivation in the world, you can be regarded as the top, but even if Shangguan Old Ghost dies, it is difficult to pass through the third layer of this Xuanhuo Altar, I can't imagine that you can actually break through the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array guarded by the Red Flame Beast." ”

"It turns out that the big guy is called the Red Flame Beast, it's really a fitting name." Ye Chen said lightly.

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, the woman's voice suddenly raised sharply, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of excitement in her voice.

"No, no matter how high your Taoism is, except for the old ghost of Shangguan, only Xuanhuo Jian can open the third layer of this altar in the whole world. You...... You've got the Xuanhuo Jian on you! ”

At the end of the words, as if reflecting her excited voice, the ice around Ye Chen lit up at the same time.

"Yes, the Xuanhuo Jian is indeed in my hands...... And this time, I came to save my mother, who had been trapped in the altar of Xuanhuo for three hundred years. ”

"Xiaoliu called you here?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her originally excited emotions seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water, and she instantly regained her calm: "You...... And how did you get acquainted with him? ”

"It's just a coincidence."

In this regard, Ye Chen did not hide it, and told everything about the things in the black stone cave in Xiaochi Town.

"Unexpected...... That's the case, so to put it mildly, my Tianhu clan still owes you a great favor? ”

The woman said quietly.

At the same time, a huge figure slowly emerged.

It was a white fox, a huge and beautiful white fox, different from the six-tailed demon fox in the black stone cave, this white fox was far superior to the latter in terms of size and the number of tails behind it.

This...... It turned out to be a nine-tailed sky fox!

Among the fox demon clan, there is one of the most intelligent and mysterious branches.

Legend has it that with the increase of their cultivation of the Dao, the tail behind them will continue to grow, and the hundred-year-old Dao Xing will have three tails, called the Demon Fox; There are six thousand-year-old paths, which are spiritual foxes; And to the point where there are nine tails, it is already the supreme realm of monsters in the world, and the mana is superb, and it is the "nine-tailed sky fox"!

But Ye Chen knew that the so-called mana was just a false word.

If this is the case, then why has this nine-tailed sky fox been trapped here for more than 300 years?

"It's just a deal, not a favor."

Ye Chen shook his head, although he was amazed by the beauty of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, he still said lightly: "What can I do to save you?" ”

"All you have to do is walk to the end of the stone wall behind me, where there is a cylindrical stone platform from which the chain of flames stretches out, and at the same time goes deep into the underground volcanic magma, drawing endless heat from it. If you put the Xuanhuo Jian on the stone platform, you can unlock the Xuanhuo chain, without this prohibition, there is no Xuanhuo Jian underneath the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array, and it can't trap me anymore......"

As he spoke, Ye Chen also noticed the dark red iron chain on the white fox's waist, which was as thick as an ordinary person's arm.

Obviously, this is what he calls the "Xuanhuo Chain".

"Good!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly, and when he crossed the huge body of the white fox, he suddenly said: "When you get out of trouble, you can make as much noise as you can, and it is best to stir up the entire Incense Valley and make a mess...... As for the aftermath, it's all on me. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the white fox was obviously stunned, and there was a bit of a playful smile in his words: "It turns out that young man, you didn't come to Incense Valley this time just to save me...... Okay, it's just to repay you for saving me, but you have to be careful, Yun Yilan, that old guy, is not as simple as it seems. ”

Ye Chen shook his head, but he was not surprised and said: "To be able to take root in this kind of place, and to be among the three major sects of the righteous path in the world, how can it be general." ”

As he spoke, he also came to the stone platform that the white fox said.

And here, as at the entrance of the second layer earlier, there is also a dent, which coincides with the size of the Xuanhuo Jian.

"Bah-"

Putting the Xuanhuo Jian into it, the stone platform let out a strange roar.

At the same time, the surrounding ice began to melt.

And the Xuanhuo chain bound to the waist of the nine-tailed heavenly fox gradually began to brighten, from a deep dark red color, slowly became vivid, and finally like a flame, accompanied by the trembling of the stone platform, and finally fell from the waist of the white fox like a dead snake......

"Boom-"

In an instant, the white fox let out a long roar, and there seemed to be a wave of heat under his feet, causing the original ice to melt in large chunks.

It seems that this Xuanhuo Altar was originally built on a volcano.

And now, with Ye Chen's actions, the volcano, which was originally silent, has an active trend......

"Let's go!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen did not hesitate, took the Xuanhuo Jian back into the Sumeru Ring, and rose to the sky.
