Chapter Eighty-Nine: Exploration
"It's raining, it's finally raining!" Fluttershy cheers.
And the surrounding fish people also carnivaled, celebrating the rewards of the rainy day, and countless fish people knelt and worshiped to the sea of clouds under the leadership of the golden-scaled fish man, as if they had seen a fairy. Yunhai was casting spells with all his might at this time, and he couldn't stop them, so he had to let them go.
But Xiaoguang, who is a phoenix, obviously doesn't like rainy days, so it found a wooden shed, regardless of whether the fishmen inside wanted it or not, and squeezed it in, and the fishmen around it scattered and fled, for fear of being eaten by this strange bird.
After the rain lasted for two hours, the clouds finally cleared and the sun returned to Yunmengze. Yunhai looked back into the distance at this time and found that the water surface had really risen slightly, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Stupid man, you're amazing!" Fluttershy hugged the pale sea of clouds and asked, "It's okay for you, do you need a break?"
"Well, my true qi is running out, I'll recover my luck here first, during this time, please help me complete one thing, okay?"
"You say. Fluttershy knows that there is something to be done by Yunhai when she says that she has something to do with herself, but she is afraid that there is something to do with Yun Mengze's drought and the mysterious disappearance of the Fish-Man, and out of trust in him, Fluttershy listens carefully.
"That's right, just now in the process of begging for rain, I came into contact with the surrounding heaven and earth aura, and accidentally detected that in the southwest direction of Yunmengze, there seemed to be some fiery powerful force, entrenched there. I suspect that there is a flame-related immortal beast there, and it is likely that it caused the drought that Yun Mengze had not encountered in a hundred years, as well as the continuous disappearance of the fishmen. ”
"Really?" Fluttershy was shocked to see that the sea of clouds was just a short burst of rain and that she could sense the situation so far away, and she felt even more admiration in her heart.
"Well, but how strong this guy is, I don't know how good it is, you also need to be extremely careful when you go, don't let the other party find out your traces until you have to, understand?" Yun Hai naturally knows the character of Fluttershy, but he is afraid that he will fight first regardless of the enemy after seeing it, if this is the case, even if he can defeat the opponent and kill the enemy, it is okay to say, but once the enemy escapes, it is these fishmen who are unlucky to turn back.
"Well, it's good, you can recover here with peace of mind, I'll go to the place you said to see, and you won't cause trouble. Fluttershy also heard what Yunhai meant, and deliberately repeated the word "absolutely".
"Hopefully, I'll leave it to you. Yunhai nodded. "I'll rest here, and you go talk to the fishmen. ”
"Hmm. ”
After Yunhai explains everything, he enters the process of meditation and concentrates on recovering his true qi, and Fluttershy finds the golden fish-man and repeats Yunhai's words.
"Is that really what the hero said that our homeland is drying up because there is a powerful guy in the southwest of the Great Lake?"
"That's right, my husband spent too much True Qi in the process of begging for rain just now, so he needs to take a break, and I'm going to go to the place he said to find out, please protect him here. ”
"Yes, he has saved countless of my compatriots, and is the benefactor of our fish-man clan, although we are deeply cursed, but we still understand this truth, please rest assured that Lord Gui Butterfly, we will take care of your husband. ”
"Okay, I'll go and go back. ”
An hour later.
"It's already flown hundreds of miles, and we haven't seen the end yet, how big is this cloud dream?" Fluttershy can't help but get irritated as she looks at the endless swamps and ponds. But she remembered the words that Yunhai had said on the shore of the river, and her heart couldn't help but move again.
"He was always so empathetic and gave me everything I needed most when I needed comfort and guidance the most. Sure enough, just like Sanshengshi is destined to be, he is my true destiny, in this life, no matter what the price is, I will always be by his side and love him"
Fluttershy gently rests her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beat faster, thinking about the person she loves, and before she knows it, she grows stupid
Finally, at sunset, Fluttershy leaves Yunmengze and enters a primeval forest.
It didn't take long for her to notice something unusual here.
"Why do you feel that there is a hot atmosphere here, this is a forest, and it is close to evening, and the sun is about to set, why is it still so dry and hot, is it because the sea of clouds said that fairy beast?"
Thinking of this, Fluttershy spends her flight and increases her altitude to get a closer look at the situation in the distance.
Sure enough, where the sun set, a fiery red mountain was hidden in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a blood-colored gem.
"What's that, a volcano?" Fluttershy is stunned as she lowers her flight altitude and sticks to it, finally reaching the fiery red mountain in the evening.
"It's so hot in here, it must be something unusual. ”
Fluttershy quietly lands at the foot of the mountain, where she finds that the ground is so hot that she can't stand on it, and there is a different kind of heat than the Red Ridge Mountain in the Celestial Realm, and the surrounding trees have also turned to charcoal, standing quietly in the bright red earth, and nothing else.
Fluttershy cautiously navigates the charred forest, but fortunately, the light is not very dim even at night due to the heat of the land, and in a short time, Fluttershy finds a huge cave halfway up the mountain, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.
"Where does this cave lead?" Fluttershy mutters, but chooses to go inside and find out.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, where the hell does this cave lead?" Fluttershy wipes the sweat from her forehead, feeling more and more uneasy. The cave leads all the way down to the bottom of the cave, and the deeper it goes, the hotter it gets, giving Fluttershy the illusion that if she goes this way, she will go to the center of the earth.
Eventually, Fluttershy emerges from the cave and is shocked by what she sees.
What appears in front of Fluttershy's eyes is a large lava lake filled with magma that seems to be about to burst out. Looking upward, there is a small skylight above the lava lake, and if you look down from there, how can you imagine that there will be such a huge lava lake below.
But if that's all there is, Fluttershy isn't too surprised to see that right in the middle of the lava lake is a mound of dirt half-buried in the lava, like a bird's nest. And in this nest, there are several huge bird eggs, which are soaked in magma, and they will shake a few times from time to time.
"What kind of bird can nest and lay eggs in the magma?
Suddenly, Fluttershy senses a powerful force rapidly approaching the magma lake from the sky, and to Fluttershy's surprise, this powerful force not only has a fiery feeling, but also has a three-point evil aura, which has many similarities with the demon ** in her body.
Could it be that this mysterious guy also has a demon clan?
Sure enough, a big whistling bird flew in from the patio in the sky, and its size was only more than two meters, which was short compared to Xiaoguang, and its appearance was like a crane living by the water, but the feathers on its wings and forehead were bright red, and there was a raging flame burning on it.
But the most bizarre feature is that the crane is on fire, with only one leg! It is standing in the lava, tending to the eggs in the nest, and on the crane's chest, there is a pinch of black feathers, from which Fluttershy can feel a powerful magic.
"It seems that the guy Yunhai said is this. Fluttershy wondered. "Since I have also seen the true face of the enemy, I will simply go back and tell Yunhai about these things first. ”
With this in mind, Fluttershy quietly tries to leave the entrance of the cave, but something unexpected happens, as Fluttershy is still a little inconvenient to walk because she is wearing a long dress, and at this moment, Fluttershy's cuffs suddenly rub off a hot rock and fall into the lava lake with a "plop".
It wasn't loud, but it was the loudest sound in the silent lava lake.
"Oh no!" Fluttershy says badly, and quickly hides behind a rock, observing the bird's appearance, and sure enough, it becomes alert, constantly scanning the surroundings as if trying to find the intruder.
"It probably didn't see me, well, it must not. Fluttershy comforts herself and quietly pulls away and returns the way she came to the cave, trying to report the incident to the sea of clouds.
"Whew finally came out. Fluttershy crawls out of the cave and looks at the eerie red glow of the cave and says, "I'd better go back quickly, it's no good to stay here." ”
Thinking of this, Fluttershy is about to take off when a purple flame suddenly sweeps through the sky, and it is clear that the target is herself!
"Help!"
Fluttershy dodges the flames and looks back to see that the crane has come after her, waiting for her to strike at the moment she emerges from the cave!
"Damn fellow, you actually gave this princess a waiting rabbit!"
Fluttershy complained bitterly, but there was no other way, because after she saw the strength of the flame just now, she gave up her plan to fight it alone, although Fluttershy's strength is not much lower than this fire crane, but if you fight hard, she will definitely get hurt, so it is better to lure this guy back to Yunmengze and clean it up with Yunhai.
With this in mind, Fluttershy flies into the night sky and flees to the northeast, where a sun seems to be following her
