Chapter 216: Red Flame Mountain

The colorful fog has long since dissipated, and all the passenger ships to Huanglong Island have set sail. Ding Qin inquired around for a while before finding a fisherman and buying a small boat directly from him.

Although he could use his water skills to pass through the lake to Huanglong Island, Ding Qin did not plan to do so. Such a conspicuous thing, if it is repeatedly targeted by someone, it will be even more passive.

Due to the small and flexible boats, and Ding Qin's great efforts, when he arrived at Huanglong Island, Ding Qin had already caught up with those pleasure boats. He could have overtaken them to get to the island first, but for safety, he chose to blend in with the crowd.

Each boat has a tour guide from whom you can get a general idea of Hoang Long Island. When the tourists disembark, the captain of the sailing ship will make a special emphasis on making sure to come back before dark.

Following a traveling group for a while, Ding Qin had already reached the south-central location of Huanglong Island. There was a distinct smell of sulphur, and steam could be seen rising farther south.

"Further south, it is the Longkou of Huanglong Island. According to legend, Huanglong is a fire dragon, and there is fire erupting from the dragon's mouth, and after landing on the island, a special volcano-like landscape is formed at the dragon's mouth. The hill you see now has a hole at the top of the mountain, and the magma in the cave is churning, and the temperature is extremely high. ”

The tour guide apparently memorized these words by heart. Tourists may be curious while listening, but Ding Qin's feeling is different.

Volcano!

Whether it is a true volcano or a volcano-like hill, it corresponds to the red flame.

Could it be that Chiyan Mountain is this hill?

With the flow of people, he reached the bottom of the mountain.

The tour guide is no longer willing to climb the mountain, telling people to climb on their own and pay attention to safety if they want to visit.

Since the scorching heat was already evident at the base of the mountain, about two-thirds of them gave up. In the end, only a dozen people reached the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, at the top of the mountain, there is a circular cave that is concave, and the cave is red, and a large amount of smoke slowly rises, and the slowly flowing magma at the bottom is faintly visible.

Ding Qin took a closer look at the top hole. He didn't find any other openings in the side walls, but there were a few protruding stones in each of the eight directions.

The stones vary in number, but are largely the same size. The stones are all round, black and white, and seem to be haphazardly embedded in eight directions.

But the problem is that this chaotic arrangement only exists in eight directions, not around the hole.

Usually, this will be one of the components of the formation.

Because he suspected that this was the entrance to the Chiyan Mountain Chen's Departure Sect, Ding Qin would naturally infer this. If it were someone else, under the smell of smoke and fire, I am afraid that I would not even notice these stones.

However, these stones alone are not enough to form a formation.

Ding Qin looked around carefully, but he didn't find anything special.

However, the bone soul noticed the anomaly at this time, "You pay attention to the magma flow below. ”

After his reminder, Ding Qin concentrated on looking down. It's just that the smoke below is heavier and not easy to see.

"I feel that this magma flow seems to be regular, including this smoke. Just a few points, I noticed that when the smoke cleared, there would be magma flowing through with the slag. This is not normal. ”

Ding Qin looked at it carefully for a while, "Well, that's right. It's just that this smoke is unpredictable, and it's really hard to find a pattern. The magma below is even more clearly visible. ”

Bone Soul said, "That's true. You can't see it, and I can't understand it. But my gut tells me that there's something odd about it. ”

Ding Qin said, "If there is anything weird, it is better to go down and take a look." ”

With that, he looked around, and saw that there happened to be no tourists at this time, so he immediately walked to a place where the rock wall was relatively easy to cling to, and jumped down.

His move frightened the bones and souls. "Hey, boy, what are you doing, it's too hasty, aren't you?"

Ding Qin didn't answer, and directly covered his body with a three-layer water trick protective shield. Falling about three meters, the first layer of shield shattered as the temperature rose.

But Ding Qin didn't stop. He added another layer of shield and continued his descent downward.

Another five meters or so, the outer two layers were broken one after another, and the third layer was even fast to the limit.

The bone soul shouted, "Hurry up! the lower you go, the higher the temperature, you can die like this!"

Ding Qin did not respond. He took a deep breath, and the mending shield instantly turned up, and he jumped towards a stone platform below.

At the place where you jump three or four meters, it is the place where the temperature is highest. There, even the mending shield was almost shattered.

But I didn't expect that after that position, the temperature didn't rise again. Under the infusion of spiritual power, the mending shield was quickly repaired, and it did not encounter the same threat again.

Not only Ding Qin, but the bone soul was also quite surprised by this. "Could it be that you were right?"

Ding Qin took a break, "I don't know if it's right yet." Sometimes we need luck, but more often we need courage. ”

With that, he picked his spot and continued to jump downward.

It has been raining for about 30 meters, and the temperature has shown a clear downward trend. By about 60 meters, the temperature here was no different from the ground.

And about ten meters above his head was the layer of smoke. From the bottom up, the pattern of the smoke is noticeably clearer.

Smoke forms around the stone wall and then gathers towards the center. Different shades outline different lines, which is a huge formation.

Looking further down, those so-called churning magma are also red lines. It's just that when there is smoke, when you look from above, it looks like magma churning.

The bone soul couldn't help but praise, "Well, wonderful, this method is wonderful! And the temperature above is precisely caused by the three parts of this formation. According to that temperature, ordinary people who fall more than ten meters are estimated to be burned to death, and even masters are afraid of this temperature. The point is, no master would take such a boring risk. ”

He sighed there, but Ding Qin was already descending. After another thirty or forty meters, he stepped on the ground.

Here, the so-called magma can be seen. In fact, it was not magma at all, but a liquid of unknown composition.

Everything is an illusion.

Ding Qin looked around and found that there seemed to be a hole opposite him. He carefully moved over and saw that the hole was so small that it seemed to pass only one person.

Entering from the entrance of the cave, after walking dozens of steps, the passage seems to be widening, but the light is getting darker and darker. Ding Qin took out the tinder and torch from the Lingna stone belt and lit it, barely illuminating the road ahead, and then continued to walk.

Obviously, the stone walls here have been artificially trimmed and appear to be very smooth. After walking for another hundred meters, there was gradually light in front of me.

It's just that the light is extremely soft, different from the sunlight outside. In the direction of the light, Ding Qin walked another forty or fifty meters, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

There's a paradise here.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large field and a small town in between. The fields are also dotted with houses in twos and threes, and some are fenced off.

At the opposite end, there seems to be a lush woods. There was a river that flowed out of there, halfway around the town, and then out on the other side.

If he didn't look up, Ding Qin really thought that he had walked out of this hole.

Looking up, though, this is not the case.

About ten meters above the head is a crystal-shaped cave wall. All the light here comes from there.

Ding Qin felt it carefully, and made sure that there was no danger around him before stepping in.

What you step on is solid ground. Unlike the crater, everything here is real.

Turning around, I looked at the hole where I came out, and there were two ancient words on each side.

The two on the right are written by Chiyan.

And on the left, it is precisely Chenli.

Chiyan Mountain, Chen Lizong! Finally found!

Ding Qin's heart burst with joy. The bone soul also sighed in the sea of knowledge, "Hard work pays off, hard work pays off." ”

The euphoria didn't last long, though.

From his left, a cool breeze suddenly blew in.

The wind came in a strange way. Ding Qin's actual combat experience told him that there might be danger.

He immediately dodged to the right and turned his head at the same time.

Sure enough, on the left, a dark shadow flashed by.

Someone!

However, this man's speed was so fast that he didn't see it clearly at all.

Needless to say, Ding Qin released his spiritual power.

After being fully released, his speed reached a new level, and his perception of his surroundings became more acute. Just when he realized that there was movement in the right rear, he turned around to avoid it, but he still only saw a phantom.

The speed of the other party is far above their own!

Moreover, this speed is still not based on the direct fluctuation of spiritual power. In other words, his cultivation is also far above his own.

Ding Qin didn't think about it anymore, used all his speed, and ran directly towards the town.

This is the best choice for him. Although he didn't know whether there was anyone in the town, friend or foe, at least he had a wide view and a large space on the way, which was easy to avoid.

Back to the channel, the light is dark, the space is small, and if you encounter a strong attack, it is equivalent to waiting for a loss.

However, only three or five meters away, a faint spiritual pressure behind him immediately dispersed.

Although this was expected in Ding Qin's heart, he didn't have the slightest way to deal with it so quickly.

The Bone Soul shouted in the sea of consciousness, "Be careful!

However, even with his reminder, Ding Qin did not have time to make corresponding actions.

He only felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness in an instant and fell to the ground.

...............................................................................................................

"Wow".

In a hut in the field, an old man with a white beard poured a bowl of cold water on Ding Qin's face, "Okay, okay, don't sleep." ”

Ding Qin opened his eyes with a thrill.

After the line of sight gradually cleared, an unfamiliar environment came into view.

Soon, he focused his gaze on the old man, struggled to sit up, and assumed a defensive posture, "Who are you?"
