But the light that shot out from the compass was so fast that it quickly surrounded the tiger, and the light of the Dao was like a thread covering the tiger in it.

Yun Xiangyao and Yan Ruyi didn't know what was going on. The villagers didn't know what was happening, and they were amazed to see the sudden light surrounding the cows and tigers.

Gu Chen was afraid that the rest of the cultivators would see the doorway, so he stood there and activated the Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder Technique, and suddenly dark clouds were thick, thunder and lightning were combined, and the sky gradually darkened.

Under the cover of thunder and lightning, Gu Chen saw that the cow and the tiger were sucked in by the compass almost at the same time. Looking inside the compass, one of the two sets of footprints shows a pattern of a cow and the other a pattern of a tiger.

After the thunder and lightning, everyone saw that the shadow of the tiger and the cow had long since disappeared. Some cultivators searched carefully for traces, but there were no clues at all.

In order not to be asked and find out what was going on, Gu Chen took Yan Ruyi and Yun Xiangyao to leave quietly while everyone was guessing.

When Lao Tietou remembered to thank Gu Chen and the others, he found that the people had already gone away, so he could only thank Gu Chen and the others from afar.

When a few people walked to the periphery of the Flame Mountain, they felt hot and flustered, there was no grass here, the land was all burnt yellow, as if it had been roasted by fire, and there was not a shadow of a wild beast everywhere.

"I've heard from my master that the fire is just below a crater and needs to be refined in the hottest magma. Gu Chen said.

"It's so hot here, it's really not enough to roast us in the center of Huoyan Mountain. Yan Ruyi said.

"yes, it's so hot, we're going to have to figure out a way to get into the heartland. Yun Xiangyao also said.

A few people were trying to figure out how to do it, when they saw a snake burrowing into the fiery mountain with fire all over its body.

"What kind of snake is that?" Yun Xiangyao was shocked that the snake on fire was still alive.

"That's the famous fire snake in this area, it can spit fire and hurt people, and it likes to live in Huoyan Mountain the most, and survives by eating the fire of Huoyan Mountain and drinking the magma of Huoyan Mountain. Some people here call it a fire dragon, that is, it. Yan Ruyi still has some understanding of the local situation.

"Eat fire, drink magma?" Yun Xiangyao was completely shocked. I don't understand how such creatures exist in this world.

"What a strange creature, is there anything special about it?" Gu Chen was also shocked.

Yan Ruyi said: "I heard my father say that this fire snake spits fire and hurts people, and the fire it spits out is difficult to extinguish, they like to eat burnt human flesh with fire, they are not afraid of fire or heat, and they can live in fire." But most afraid of one kind of bird. And that kind of bird also likes to eat this kind of fire snake the most, it is said that eating one can double the cultivation, so as long as the fire snake here hears the bird's call, it will hide in the fire mountain and never come out. I don't know anything else that's special. ”

"Will birds fly in such a hot place?" asked Yun Xiangyao.

"Yes. My father said that it was a kind of sacred bird, and it would often come here to catch fire snakes to eat, but the fire snakes were very cunning, as long as they heard the sound, they would not come out of the fire mountain, and they would not show their heads when the birds flew away. Yan Ruyi said.

"Do you know what kind of bird it is?" asked Gu Chen.

"I didn't pay much attention. Yan Ruyi said.

"May we not be eaten by the fiery serpent. Gu Chen smiled and walked forward with a few people, looking for a suitable way.

Gu Chen thought secretly: "That little golden bird of mine is very special, it is definitely not an ordinary bird, maybe letting it come out and eat a few fire snakes will enhance its cultivation." Thinking like this, Gu Chen secretly thought that when he found the fire snake, he would release the little flying bird to see if it could eat the fire snake.

The three of them found a path and walked towards the center of the Flame Mountain, and there was a strong smell of burning in the air. They were so hot that they were sweating all over, and they felt weak.

Hiss, hiss.

The three of them heard the sound of snakes around them, but they couldn't see a single snake, and their faces showed surprise and uneasiness.

Gu Chen held the wooden sword in his hand, ready to strike at any time. Yun Xiangyao and Yan Ruyi also secretly exercised their skills, preparing for a sudden attack.

But they kept walking for a long time, but they only heard the sound and couldn't see a snake appear, and several people were a little puzzled, and walked more carefully towards the center of Huoyan Mountain.

When they came to the top of the mountain, the three of them found that the top of the mountain was a volcanic crater, the yellow crater was scorching, and there were constantly sparks bursting out, and the magma in it was tumbling, and the heat wave and fire smoke were soaring into the sky. The three of them watched from afar, not daring to get close.

"Could it be that Huo Xinyan is here? How can you take this?" Yun Xiangyao frowned.

Gu Chen tried several times, but he couldn't get close to the blazing crater, let alone go down to find the fire heart flame.

"The master didn't tell me the specific method, he just said that the fire flame was inside the volcano, let me find a way to get it. Gu Chen said.

Yan Ruyi thought carefully for a while and said, "I heard my father say that there is a refiner here who once found a way to obtain the Fire Heart Flame, and using this fire to refine weapons is much more powerful than the weapons refined by ordinary refiners. ”

"How did he get it?" asked Gu Chen eagerly.

"At that time, my father said that the refiner made a thick protective layer with his true qi and jumped into the crater to take it out, and it is said that he was also burned because of this, and his face was terrifying, and it was difficult to recover. Yan Ruyi recalled.

Gu Chen touched his face and shook his head: "I don't want to be disfigured." ”

Hiss, hiss.

The sound of a snake came from the crater, and after a while, a small golden snake flew out of it, which looked a little weird and strange against the backdrop of the flames.

The golden snake rushed straight to Gu Chen and the others, and the three of them dodged, and the golden snake disappeared without a trace.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a snake could live in fire, it's incredible. Yun Xiangyao said.

"What's strange about that, it's like a fish living in water, haven't we ever wondered why fish don't drown?" Yan Ruyi said.

Hiss, hiss.

The sound of the snake came from inside the crater again.

Gu Chen remembered the little flying bird in the dark gate and released it, the little golden flying bird became very excited when he saw the blazing magma, and actually rushed into it despite Gu Chen's shouting, and never came out again.

"This little flying bird can't be the kind of bird that specializes in eating fire snakes, otherwise why don't you die and drill into the fire? ”

As soon as Yan Ruyi finished speaking, the little flying bird flew out of the fire, holding a small golden snake in its mouth, and flew happily above the volcanic flames.

"It seems to be. Yun Xiangyao looked at it in surprise. "That way we don't have to be afraid of the fiery snake. ”

As he was talking, the magma suddenly began to tumble violently, and a stream of fire came out of the volcano, and the three of them realized what might happen.

Sure enough, a huge golden fire snake, which should be called a fire dragon, jumped up from the crater and swallowed the little bird in one gulp.

This fire dragon was about five meters thick and forty or fifty meters long, its eyes glowed like lanterns, and when it opened its mouth, the snake letter spit out, and flames flew towards Gu Chen and the three of them.
