Chapter Seventy-Five: A New Mission
"Sure enough, it's a high-level spiritual material."
Yuan Ming's eyes were happy, and he liked the fiery unicorn more and more, and carefully put it away, planning to find a way to study what it was after returning to the sect.
The magma of this Tari volcano contains such a single horn, and it seems that this volcano is not simple.
However, he did not have the ability to explore the mountain now, so he turned to the fire marten and continued to walk into the distance, soon completely away from the area covered by volcanic magma.
Yuan Ming stood on a slope and looked at the scarred earth.
In the event of such a large-scale volcanic eruption, all the fire jade near the volcano has been submerged in magma, and he has no means to find fire jade from the magma, so it seems that this mission can only end here.
How to act next made him a little difficult, and he didn't know whether to find someone else, or return to the sect on his own first.
After a little consideration, Yuan Ming still decided to look for others and walked in one direction with the fire mink.
Now that he is leaving alone, he is a little affectionate, and he only roughly remembers the location of the Biluo Cave Sect, so I am afraid it will be a little troublesome to go back alone.
At this moment, a slight sound came from behind, like footsteps.
Yuan Ming hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a person turn out of the mountain road not far away, but it was Legon.
"Senior Brother Yuan, you are still alive, and the fire mink is safe and sound, thank God!" When Legon saw Yuan Ming and the fire marten next to him, he ran over excitedly.
Legon looked very embarrassed at the moment, his clothes had been burned a lot, and his skin had been scorched in several places, but fortunately, it was not critical.
The fire marten glanced at Legon and looked away, seemingly disliking the man.
"Senior Brother Legon, are you okay?" Yuan Ming was also happy on his face.
It's always a joy to meet someone familiar at this time.
"It's okay, it's okay, a little skin trauma, it's not worth mentioning. By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, can you see Senior Sister Lan Ke and them? And, of course, there are Mu Li. Legon asked, waving his hand.
"The situation was critical just now, and I only cared about running for my life, and I didn't notice how others were." Yuan Ming shook his head.
"Ahh Legon scratched the back of his head when he heard this, and his face was worried.
Yuan Ming's eyes moved, Legong and Mu Li, Chishu, and Agula were all new acquaintances, and they were naturally worried about Lan Ke, and they didn't know what the relationship was.
"Let's look around, with Senior Sister Lan Ke's strength, it should be fine." Without probing, he proposed.
Legon nodded, and the two searched in one direction.
The fire marten jumped on Yuan Ming, half-lying on his shoulder, squinting his eyes to rest.
"It seems that the mink likes Senior Brother Yuan very much! After Senior Brother Yuan returns to the sect, he might as well take this task and try it. Seeing the sermine's tame appearance, Legon proposed with half envy and half sigh.
Yuan Ming did have this idea and asked, "Senior Brother Legon, can you tell me in detail about this task of the Three Cave Masters?" ”
"Senior Brother Yuan is really interested? In fact, there is nothing in the task itself, the requirements of the three cave masters are very simple, take care of the fire martk, feed a few pieces of fire crystals every day, and don't let it be harmed. Legon said quickly.
"It doesn't sound like that hard." Yuan Ming said.
"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do at all, Senior Brother Yuan, you don't know how stubborn this fire marten is." Legon cupped his forehead and sighed.
At this moment, the fire marten, which had been squinting, suddenly opened its eyes and began to hum in its mouth.
Seeing this, Legong hurriedly took out a piece of fiery red crystal and handed it to the fire mink's mouth, which seemed to be what the three cave masters had fed to the fire marten before.
When the mink saw the crystal, it immediately raised its head, opened its mouth to bite the object, and bit it one by one.
"How much does this quest pay?" Yuan Ming touched the mink's head and asked what he was most concerned about.
"The remuneration is naturally rich, as long as you can manage the fire marten according to her requirements, you can get a reward of thirty contribution points per month, and you can also learn a spell from her for free, of course, it must be in the Qi refining period." Legon said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he became more and more moved.
Thirty contribution points is definitely a good reward, and the contribution value of working in the fire workshop is only ten points per month, not to mention that you can learn a spell for free.
He continued to tease the marten's head, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Senior Brother Yuan is not a disciple of the Beast Control Hall, if you want to take on this task, you still have to start with the Executive Deacon Hall, and the deacon there also knows the task of the Three Cave Masters." Legon thought for a moment and added.
"Thanks for mentioning that." Yuan Ming thanked him.
The two continued to search, and after searching for a long time, they found no clues.
Yuan Ming was fine, but Legon was getting more and more anxious.
"It's not a way to go on so blindly, why don't you look for it another way?" Yuan Ming proposed.
"Oh, what can Senior Brother Yuan do?" Legon's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Since we can't find Senior Sister Lan Ke and them, it's better to let them come to us." Yuan Ming said.
Legon was stunned, not knowing why.
"Smoke from burning wood." Yuan Ming pointed not far away, where a small grove grew.
"That's a good idea." Legon rubbed his hands together and said happily.
The two of them worked together to cut down all the trees in the forest and light a fire.
The billowing black smoke quickly rose and drifted high into the air, forming a column of smoke.
The lava had calmed down, and there wasn't much smoke coming up, and the black plume of smoke was quite conspicuous.
A moment later, a crisp crane chirp came, and two white cranes appeared in the distant sky and flew quickly.
The two figures sitting on the white crane are Mu Li and Chishu.
"It's great that you're safe and sound." Yuan Ming waved his hand.
Disappointed, Legon barely managed to squeeze out a few smiles and asked the two about Lan Ke's whereabouts.
A chirp pierced through the sky came from the other side, and a gray shadow quickly approached, it was the golden-eyed eagle, Lan Ke, and Agula were all on the back of the eagle.
"Senior Sister Lan Ke, you are fine, you are really blessed by the ancestor." Legon was overjoyed and waved his hand.
Yuan Ming also showed joy on his face, and he felt a little more emotional in his heart.
In the face of such a natural disaster, all six of them survived, and I have to say that they are really lucky.
The golden-eyed eagle fell to the ground, and Lan Ke jumped down, but Agula did not move.
But seeing that his right leg was charred black below the knee, and half of his skin and flesh had been burned, apparently caused by magma, and there were many burns in other places, it looked very miserable.
Seeing this, Mu Li and the others all changed slightly, and Yuan Ming's brows were also furrowed.
"Senior Brother Agoura, why did you get hurt like this?" Mu Li and Agoura have done several missions together, and the relationship is relatively close, so he asked with concern.
Agoura laughed miserably and did not speak.
The right leg is injured like this, and the leg meridians are probably also injured, and I don't know if I can recover.
Lan Ke sighed and told the story of Agoura's injury.
When the magma hit, he released the white crane and tried to fly away, but the white crane was afraid of the volcanic disaster, so he abandoned Agoura and fled alone.
Enraged, Agoura fled on his own, but was attacked by a flint snake and was bitten on his right leg, and then chased by the churning magma, burning his right leg and dying here.
In the nick of time, Ranko passed nearby and saved Agoura's life.
"In any case, everyone is still alive, and it is a blessing in misfortune. Although Senior Brother Agoura's injuries are serious, it is not impossible to recover, but he has to go back to the sect to talk about it. Lan Ke said.
Mu Li was a disciple of the Furnace Refining Hall, and he was proficient in several medical techniques, so he immediately applied ointment to Agula's wound and bandaged it.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Muli." Agoura thanked him.
Several people fled for their lives, and they were all quite tired at the moment, so they took a short rest around the fire.
"It's strange why there would suddenly be a volcanic eruption of this magnitude." Mu Li looked at the volcanic peak.
"Such a natural calamity could not be foreseen by us mortals." Lan Ke shook his head and said.
"It may be that the Tari Fire Demon turned over at the bottom of the mountain, haha......" Seeing that Lan Ke was safe and sound, Legon regained his previous liveliness, and laughed.
"Tari's Flame Demon?" Yuan Ming looked over.
"This is a legend of Tari Volcano, this area was originally a lush verdant green mountain range, and that giant peak was also an ordinary mountain, and then an immortal suppressed a fire demon under the giant peak, and the fire demon manipulated the flames to incinerate the rocks, and this place turned into a volcanic area." Legon said with his eyebrows fluttering, his eyes still glancing at Lan Ke from time to time.
Yuan Ming was silent, he remembered the fiery red horn he had just gotten, it couldn't be the horn of the fire demon, right?
He immediately shook his head and smiled, secretly scolding himself for being naïve, how could such myths and legends be true.
"By the way, the rumor also says that the fire demon turns over every five hundred years, causing a huge volcanic eruption, I have read the record of Tari Volcano in the door, it seems that hundreds of years ago, there was also a large-scale volcanic eruption here, maybe that legend is true." Seeing that everyone else had looked at it, Legon became more and more interested, and said eloquently.
"Okay, these are all folk myths and stories, and I am still a cultivator of immortals, so I actually believe in such absurd words." Lan Ke frowned and reprimanded.
Legon smirked a few times and obediently closed his mouth.
However, with Legon's nonsense, the atmosphere at the scene was much more relaxed.
Everyone rested for a while, and they almost recovered.
"What's next for you?" Lan Ke asked.
"After such a thing, it is no longer possible to continue to look for Huo Puyu, let's go back to the sect first, and find someone to take a look at Senior Brother Agula's injury as soon as possible." Mu Li said.
The others had no objections, and the group immediately rushed towards the sect.
……
Execution Hall.
The others who returned from the mission with Yuan Ming handed over the fire jade in exchange for payment, but only his fire jade was all eaten by the fire mink and could not be paid.
However, Yuan Ming didn't care, he had already thought about taking over the task of taking care of the "Gluttonous Child", so he went directly to the managing deacon.
After registering the task collection record over there, Yuan Ming was told that non-Beast Control Hall disciples who received tasks related to spirit beast cultivation needed to go to the Beast Control Hall to learn relevant knowledge and be recognized.
After all, it is about the pet of the three cave masters, and no one can afford this responsibility if something happens.
