986 in the New Ancient Calendar.

In the northern part of the Yuntian Continent, there is a small country surrounded by thousands of mountains, called Zhenbeiguo. On the easternmost edge of the country north of the town, there is a sparse village and town scattered among the mountains. Among them, there is a small town called Fengzui, which is located at the foot of Fengzui Mountain, which is more than 100 zhang high.

It was the middle of winter. The cold wind is howling, the night is clear, and the stars are slanting and shining in the sky.

Fengzui Town is a little-known town, with more than 100 families in the town. As night fell, the lights in the town had gradually gone out, and there were only a few houses in the compound, and the lanterns that were still hanging all night long.

On Fengzui Mountain, north of Fengzui Town, there is a simple, south-facing small cave, and a red yellow bonfire is swaying in the cave.

"It was a grandfather on a donkey who brought me back to life. "Inside the cave, a fourteen-year-old boy was sitting in front of a campfire, holding an old copper kettle on his chest, warming himself. He was a handsome young man, with a pair of bright eyes under his short black hair, a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, and a crescent-shaped scar on his chin. On his chest, there was a scar the size of a fist in the shape of a scorching sun.

Sitting by the campfire in the cave were a boy of seven or eight years old, and a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette pouch, a father and son.

"Brother Qingcheng, what kind of monster is that, even Uncle Ye can't beat it?" The little boy stared at Ye Qingcheng in surprise with big eyes: "Who is that mysterious grandfather?"

"Much like the legendary dragon. Saying that, Ye Qingcheng shook his head, his eyes flashed with fear, and said, "It was terrible at that time. The qiē came so fast that I could barely see anything clearly, and my father collapsed in a pool of blood, and I was blocked by my father, but the sharp pain in my heart made me pass out in the blink of an eye. When I woke up, the mysterious grandfather was sitting next to me. He helped me cremate my father's body and then brought me back. When he left, he said he would come back to me within a month. However, half a year has passed, and there is still no trace of him. ”

"Originally, your father and mother were the most prominent people in our town, but I didn't expect to - hey, how did your mother disappear?" said the middle-aged man who had been silent about smoking a cigarette pouch.

Ye Qingcheng said in confusion: "I don't know, my father and I have been looking for her for three years, and there has been no news. ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Brother Ye is gone, but you have met a nobleman, it is also a blessing in misfortune, if that mysterious old man comes back, you must thank him well." ”

At this time, the seven or eight-year-old boy casually picked up an old ancient secret book and asked, "Brother Qingcheng, what kind of book is this?"

", that grandfather gave it to me. Ye Qingcheng said: "He said that he was an animal trainer, let me read this book when I was fine." ”

"Beast trainer?" said the little boy, "Isn't that one-eyed dog who robbed your compound an animal trainer?!"

"He doesn't count. Ye Qingcheng showed anger and said, "He doesn't even have a beast taming crest. Sooner or later, I'll kick him out of my yard. ”

The richest courtyard in Fengzui Town was Ye Qingcheng's home, but after he came back, within a month, a wandering warrior with a vicious dog came to the town and occupied his yard. But he was forced to live in this cave.

"Dandan, it's time for us to go back. The middle-aged man knocked the smoke pot, stood up and said, "Qingcheng, although my house is simple, it is better than this cave-"

Ye Qingcheng refused with a smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, it's good for me to live here." ”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "The temperament is as stubborn as your father." ”

Subsequently, Ye Qingcheng sent the father and son out of the cave. When parting, Dandan grabbed his father's hand, looked up at the six-foot-tall Ye Qingcheng, and said, "Brother Qingcheng, what does the beast trainer coat of arms look like?"

"Hmm. Ye Qingcheng thought for a moment, then clenched his fists and said, "It's almost that big, it's made of some rare stone." ”

"Alright, you can go back. Uncle Bai said to Ye Qingcheng: "Go to my house for dinner tomorrow morning." ”

"No, I don't. Ye Qingcheng said stubbornly: "I'm on the mountain, I can eat whatever I want, catch hares, wild birds, or something." ”

After seeing off the father and son, Ye Qingcheng stood in front of the cave, looking at the small town below the mountain. At this time, there were only the mayor's house in the town, and there were still a few lanterns hanging in the Ye family's compound.

In the cold wind, he felt a sadness in his heart, and said to himself: "If my father is still alive, how dare the one-eyed dog occupy my yard?!"

The once glamorous and happy family became shattered with the innocent disappearance of his mother and the tragic death of his father under the claws of the evil dragon. He was also orphaned.

He stood alone on the top of the hill, lost for a moment.

"Laugh!" He took a deep breath of cold air and said, "That old man said that no matter what kind of disaster you encounter, you must face it with a smile!"

However, at this time, how could he laugh?

Suddenly, he noticed a strange appearance in the sky above the sky in the distance.

A dark red night cloud quietly condensed on the sky, forming a strange red cloud vortex.

However, he stared at it suspiciously for a long time, but there was no movement in the cloud vortex. Finally, under the faint cold wind, he shivered a few times and walked back to his cave helplessly.

However, before he could sit down as he entered the cave, a deafening roar was heard in the distance.

"Boom !!!!!!!"

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook, as if an earthquake had struck, and the whole cave shook.

Ye Qingcheng was shocked, and hurriedly picked up a black-sheathed sword placed on the side of the bonfire - his father's relic. Then, in a panic, he ran out of the cave.

The next scene made his eyes widen.

He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the northern part of Fengzui Mountain, five miles away in the wilderness. On the heavenly dome, there was an extremely spectacular pillar of flames, which fell to a lonely hill, directly burning the hill into a mountain of flames, and large streams of red lava continued to flow down from the mountain.

This scene resembles a volcanic eruption, but Ye Qingcheng knew that it was not a volcano, and the pillar of flames fell from the sky!

"What's that?!" Ye Qingcheng was frightened, and his heart swelled with irrepressible curiosity.

After hesitating for a moment, he tied his five-foot-long black-sheathed sword behind his back and ran along the rugged mountain road towards the barren mountain that was burned by the heavenly fire.

Running all the way, the pillar of flame that fell from the sky dome gradually disappeared into the howling cold wind. However, the hill was covered with lava, and the blazing fire stained the night red.

At this moment, a large number of wild beasts fled frantically in this movement, and the sky was hula-la-la, and flocks of frightened birds flew over the sky.

As the distance got closer and closer to the hill full of lava, Ye Qingcheng's heart gradually rose to his throat.

Finally, after more than half an hour of running, he came to the small mountain of flames covered with lava.

At this time, the dazzling lava, like strange flame tentacles, slowly climbed down the mountain and wandered at the foot of the mountain. Ye Qingcheng stood on a wild pool frozen in thick ice, watching a meandering lava that gradually flowed onto the ice.

Suddenly, his heart throbbed, and an unprovoked tingling pain entangled in his chest. He clutched his chest as he stared at the lava flowing in front of him.

A strange scene has appeared!

In the three-zhang wide lava, a terrifying flame claw stretched out, like a tiger's claw, extremely red and flames.

At this moment, he was so frightened that his hairs stood on end.

Then, the terror in his heart overshadowed his curiosity, and he could no longer calm down, so he turned his face and ran back.

!!As a result, as he turned his face and fled, a string of ice cracking sounds were heard. As soon as his feet loosened, the three-foot-wide ice around him loosened from the scorching lava, then cracked open and shattered.

Ye Qingcheng was in a panic, and the wolf fell into the biting ice water.

A large amount ......of ice water immediately poured into his throat and eyes, making him feel suffocated.

However, when he raised his head and looked at Yiqiē on the water, he found an even more terrifying scene.

A pair of eyes the size of a baby's fist were looking down at him underwater. The eyes were like the brightest gold, and in the middle of them was a blood-colored pupil that stood upright.

It was like the eyes of the devil, looking down at him under the surface of the water with a gloomy and majestic look.
