In the Qianren volcanic complex, each volcano is different in size and shape, but most of the volcanic mountains are covered in green, and they seem to exude vitality from far and near.

The three of them walked in the valley road between the mountains, full of wildflowers and green grass, winding streams can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of gentle wild animals along the streams bow their heads to drink. What was once a dangerous place now looks peaceful and serene.

At noon, they came to the foot of a high cone-shaped volcano, stopped and looked up, and in the distance they could see that the crater was emitting white mist into the sky.

"Do you think this volcano is also a small lake?" Bian Yao scratched his hair as he spoke, then put his finger under his nose and sniffed, and he could still smell a faint smell of burning.

The girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his words, and glared at him fiercely, and said, "You can't say anything good with your bad mouth! Don't you notice that the plants on this mountain are very rare?"

Bian Yao didn't refute, of course he also discovered the anomalies of this volcano, all he saw along the way was covered with green shade of the mountain, but in front of him was covered with countless large and small gravels, only a few small trees and young grass emerged from the cracks in the stones, struggling and tenacious to grow.

After the girl finished speaking, she didn't say hello, and ran quickly towards the top of the mountain. The young man in black naturally followed without saying a word. Bian Yao hurriedly threw a spirit fruit into his mouth, spread his legs and feet and chased after it.

There was no lake on the top of the mountain, and there was no magma as the girl said, only a huge strange-shaped hole, but the mouth was covered by a lot of gray-red rocks, separating more than a dozen small black holes, and heat kept coming out of those holes.

The three of them walked around the outer edge of the cave, and noticed that the rocks at the top of the hill were very warm. Bian Yao picked up a small stone and threw it towards the nearest hole, only to hear the sound of hitting the wall.

"Don't throw it around, don't bring in any strange things!" the girl quickly turned her head and yelled at him with an angry face.

"Aren't you very bold, why are you afraid of this and that now!" Bian Yao replied nonchalantly, then picked up another stone and continued to throw it at the entrance of the cave.

"I'm not afraid, but for your sake! If you really want to encounter some powerful beast, you will definitely fall behind at the speed of your escape, so if you want to die, you will die first!" the girl grinned after speaking, and her face showed a smug look of success.

Bian Yao snorted, and without speaking, the short hand picked up a big stone and smashed it towards the entrance of the cave.

"Let's go! The girl smiled happily.

Suddenly, the mountain shook, accompanied by a low "rumbling~" roar, which vaguely seemed to come from under the hole.

The bodies of the three of them shook uncontrollably a few times, but soon stabilized again, and then jumped far away from the crater. A trace of panic appeared on Bian Yao's face, thinking that he was probably about to breathe fire! The atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath more, so he turned around and fled down the mountain.

"Boom~!", there was a sudden earth-shattering sound behind him! The rocks that were crowded at the mouth of the hole were blown into the sky in an instant, and countless large and small rubbles were scattered and splashed in all directions.

At the same time, the gas energy that surged out of the hole exploded into a terrifying air shock wave! The three people who had just fled to the edge of the crater were pushed into the air by the monstrous waves that hit them in an instant.

In the air, almost twenty feet in the air, the black-clothed young man turned around and pulled out his back sword, slashing off a flying stone that had smashed at him, and the whole movement was extremely fast. When his body fell less than three feet from the ground, a white sword qi film suddenly appeared under his feet, so that he was not hurt in the slightest after he landed. The girl's body was thrown into the air in a parabolic shape, only to see her suddenly turn over and bow straight in the air more than ten feet high, and her arms were suddenly spread, like a red swallow, slowly falling down.

It's strange to say that among the three, Bian Yao escaped the fastest and was also the farthest away from the crater, so his body flew out almost straight. Comparatively, his body is also the lowest from the ground, only six or seven feet high.

After Bian Yao landed in embarrassment, he tripped over a stone in the sloping ground, and rolled his body down the mountain. It was only after turning over more than 20 zhang away that he waited for an opportunity to take out the Wusha short sword and insert it into the gravel field, finally stopping the rolling.

"Haha~" The girl's laughter rang out at the right time.

Bian Yao hummed and stood up, looking gray-faced, his left and right cheeks were cut by rubble respectively, and the spilled blood formed two thin red lines.

"Hey, you've got a cut on your face. When the girl saw this, she stopped laughing and pointed to his face.

Bian Yao wiped his face a few times with the back of his hand, looked up at the top of the mountain where he had regained calm, and said strangely: "What happened just now?

"Who knows! It's because of the rocks you throw that it's happening. Let's go and find the next one. The girl withdrew her gaze from the top of the mountain, and her voice was a little apprehensive and disappointed.

More than an hour later, the trio climbed a seemingly suspicious volcano. After some investigation, finally in some places in the mountains and at the top, magma that had been solidified for countless years was discovered, and it was naturally impossible to grow Purple Fire Lingzhi. However, there were some colorful nameless mushrooms parasitic on the magma stone, which made Bian Yao and the girl happy for a while before leaving.

When dusk came, an inexplicable faint smoke gradually emerged from the mountains under the golden sky.

The three of them walked to a quiet valley and found a hot spring, from which hot water flowed. So the girl happily made the decision to sleep by the hot springs at night, and she wanted to soak in the hot springs to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

At the beginning of twilight, the erratic mist wandered over the mountains and valleys, covering the Qianren volcanoes with a mysterious veil.

The hot spring pool, which is close to a rectangle, is not large, and can even be said to be very small, no more than two zhang long and about half a zhang wide. The girl sat alone in it, humming a nameless tune pleasantly. Bian Yao and the young man in black sat dryly on the grass with their backs to the hot springs.

"Hurry up, okay! I'm going to soak too. Bian Yao grumbled, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"What are you anxious about, when I'm done soaking you'll be able to soak all night!" the girl ignored his protests, her hands flapping lightly in the water, and a cheerful laugh came out of her mouth.

Bian Yao sighed a few times, fell backwards, and lay on the grass looking at the night sky. Through the faint mist, the hazy night sky was starry.

"Alas, there are so many volcanoes here, I don't know when I will find them?" Bian Yao suddenly sighed and said to himself.

"We can find a high mountain, stay at the top of the mountain, and if we find a fire, we can go in whichever direction. The black-clothed young man who sat quietly unexpectedly responded to Bian Yao's words.

"Haha~......! Ye Ye, you're still smart! This method is good! You must try it. The girl stretched out her palm and slapped the water on the surface, laughing excitedly.

Half an hour later, the maiden left the hot springs and went ashore, quickly dressed herself, and cried out refreshedly, "Let's go and find a high mountain, and sleep at the top of the mountain at night." ”

Hearing this, Bian Yao jumped up like an electric shock, and shouted angrily: "Wait a minute!

"What's there to bubble in! Besides, it's not that you didn't soak alone, and Ye Ye didn't soak either!" The girl sparked at the black-clothed young man, with a wicked smile in her eyes.

Bian Yao glared at her hatefully, silently walked to the hot spring, took out the luminous stone and shone it into the water, and said in a disgusted tone: "Stinky and dirty water! ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily: "You dead boy, dare to turn around and scold me, be careful that I hit you!"

After a short battle of words, the three of them rushed out of the valley by the twinkling starlight, and began to look for relatively high mountains in the surrounding area.

After more than two hours of searching, they climbed an extinct volcano more than 1,000 feet high and stopped beside a boulder at the top of the mountain.

The night wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, and the sound of the wind whistled in my ears. Even though it's the middle of March, you still feel the slightest chill when you are blown by the wind.

The girl opened her mouth and shouted, "We take turns to be on duty at night, and those in charge of the night must always pay attention to the movements and visions of the four directions. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the black-clothed young man jumped and stood on the top of the boulder, sitting cross-legged facing the east lee.

"It seems that your brother has volunteered to be a night watchman. Bian Yao smiled, walked around the leeward side of the boulder, took out the blanket from the space bag, wrapped his body, and sat down against the stone.

"Go over there!" the girl followed Bian Yao to the east and sat down next to him.

The night passed quietly in the howling wind.

I don't know how long it has been, but the night is still sleeping. Suddenly, far northeast, a red flame rose into the sky, especially in the dark night!

The black-clothed boy opened his eyes suddenly, stood up and looked in the direction of the firelight. In the distance, it was as if a slender fiery snake had swooped into the night sky, forming a burning cloud of fire beneath the canopy, and the area was gradually expanding!

After about half a moment, a faint rumbling sound came from the northeast, and it was not clear because the wind was very loud at the top of the mountain!

The black-clothed boy watched quietly for a while, then suddenly jumped down from the top of the boulder and reached out to pat the sleeping girl's shoulder.

The girl suddenly opened her sleepy eyes, and found that in the darkness, the sky in the distance was emitting a brilliant red light, and suddenly shouted with joy, "Ah~!

Bian Yao next to him was so noisy by her, and immediately woke up, and when he saw the abnormal phenomenon in the sky in the distance, he subconsciously jumped up.

"Is that what a volcano erupts like?" he muttered to himself as he stared blankly at the spectacular vision in the distance, his face full of excitement.

After a while, the girl suddenly turned her head to look at the young man in black and asked, "How far can this be from there?"

"It's about 200 miles, but that's a straight-line distance, and you have to make a constant detour to get there. The young man in black was silent for a moment, and then replied seriously.

That volcano should be one of several active volcanoes, there must be a lot of magma, and it is very likely that there is a purple fire reishi growing. ”

At the girl's urging, the three of them left the mountain before dawn, and hurried in the direction of the fire in the sky.
