Chapter 35: The Crater

Seeing the old Taoist's actions, Xia Yu showed a smile at him, which was a response.

The words of the old Taoist priest made Xia Yu have a good impression of Longhu Mountain, at least the first impression of the old Taoist priest was good.

After that, under the leadership of Longhu Mountain, everyone climbed up the mountain one after another.

Along the way, the mountains and forests are full of thorns, and there are many towering trees, covering the sky and the sun, and everyone is really not very easy to walk.

At the beginning, it was the people of Longhu Mountain who opened the road in front, but the distance was too rugged and difficult to travel, and gradually the people of Longhu Mountain also felt that the consumption was too great, so everyone had to discuss and decided to let everyone open the road in front of them in batches.

After a difficult journey, everyone finally climbed to the top.

Unlike the mountainside, the vegetation here is sparse and not very tall, and everyone stands on the top of the mountain and has an unobstructed view of the eyes.

Looking ahead, directly in front of the top of the mountain, there was a cliff, and under the cliff was a wide depression, which was surrounded by dark rocks and no grass.

The hollow is surrounded by mountains, with only one gorge on the east, which winds its way down to other places.

Looking at the ones in front of them, everyone knows that this depression is where the crater is located, and the depression now, as well as the canyon I saw before, are probably the traces left by the eruption of the volcano a long time ago.

In the very center of the hollow, there seemed to be a slightly protruding opening, from which from time to time a stream of hot air evaporated.

All this indicates that this crater, which has been dormant for a long time, has recently shown signs of activity.

"Fellow Daoists, this depression under your feet is the destination of this trip, and according to the information obtained by our master, it is very likely that the treasure is hidden in the volcano. A Taoist of Dragon and Tiger Mountain looked at the depression below and said to everyone.

"Dao Chief, if the treasure is hidden in the volcano, then do we need to go into the volcano to hunt for treasure?"

"That's nature, how can you find treasures without going into the volcano. The Taoist of Longhu Mountain replied.

"Isn't this too dangerous, just with our cultivation, in case we enter the volcano and encounter a volcanic eruption, at that time, under this unpredictable force of nature, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect ourselves. Sanxiu said worriedly.

"Fellow Daoists, there is a saying: chance and danger coexist. Since you want to get the treasure, how can there be no danger, if the Taoist friends are worried about their own safety, you don't have to go down to hunt for treasures, just go back the same way. Another casual cultivator continued.

"You, I'm also thinking about everyone's safety, since I'm already here, I naturally want to try my luck. Hearing the words of this casual cultivator, the worried casual cultivator from before immediately spoke.

"Okay, since all the Taoist friends are here with the opportunity, then when you enter the volcano treasure hunt, I hope that all the Taoist friends can work together, in case of danger, everyone can take care of it, of course, I, Longhu Mountain, will also lend a helping hand in time when you need help. The Taoist of Longhu Mountain emphasized again.

As a Taoist leader, Longhushan showed the style of a big faction at this time.

"Then thank you to all the Taoist leaders of Longhu Mountain. Hearing this, the rest of the people thanked the people of Longhu Mountain one by one.

After some discussion, the people began to approach from the peak of the mountain to the edge of the cliff, and they needed to go from the cliff to the hollow below.

Looking down from the edge of the cliff, the fog is shrouded, and you can't really see the bottom down.

At this time, someone took out the climbing rope that had been prepared for a long time, found a solid fixing point on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, tied the climbing rope steadily, and threw the other end along the cliff.

The first one to go down was a Dao Master of Longhu Mountain with three golden swords on his cuffs.

The reason for this arrangement is to explore the road and ensure whether the bottom is safe, and second, to reflect the leading role of Longhu Mountain.

As the Taoist walked down the climbing rope step by step, he saw that his figure was as flexible as an ape, and after a while, his figure seemed to loom, and after a while, everyone only heard the sound of footsteps landing.

Immediately afterward, a blue symbol floated in the hollow, and the blue symbol displayed in the air for a while before drifting away in the wind until it disappeared.

"It's safe down there, the blue symbol is the message that my uncle showed us, we can go down. After the people of Longhu Mountain saw this blue symbol, one of them said to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone began to climb down the rope one by one.

At this time, Xia Yu was about to go down the rope, and a person who was originally lined up behind him quickly stood in front of Xia Yu.

"Let's go down first, just like you, wouldn't it be to delay everyone's time. The man said, regardless of whether Xia Yutong agreed or not, and began to prepare to climb down the rope.

"Why are you cutting in line?" Seeing this, Da Bi, who was standing behind Xia Yu, shouted to the man.

"Why? You don't have any points in your heart, don't know what's wrong. When the man heard Da Bi's words, he looked disdainful.

"Forget it, Da Bi, if he wants to go first, let him go first, and it doesn't matter if we go down later. Seeing Da Bi arguing with that person, Xia Yu said calmly.

After that, he pulled Dabi away from the edge of the cliff and gave up his position.

"Master, he is too blind to no one, you must know that Master, you are ......" Da Bi was still unhappy and a little resentful.

"Da Bi, the teacher has told you a long time ago, you must be calm, don't be impetuous, you will not be able to improve your cultivation in this way. Xia Yu interrupted Da Bi's words and comforted him.

"Yes, Master, disciple knows. Hearing this, Da Bi had no choice but to shut up and say nothing, but when he looked at the man, he was full of anger.

"Hmph. Seeing Dabi's angry gaze, the man let out a soft snort from the end of his nose before crawling down the rope.

After the man, more people went down the rope.

After a while, there were only a few Dao Masters of Longhu Mountain and Xia Yu on the top of the mountain, and the two masters and apprentices had not yet gone down.

"Xiaoyou, it's just us now, why don't you go down first?" At this time, the old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain embroidered with four golden swords came to Xia Yu and said to Xia Yu.

"Let's go down first. Xia Yu said with a smile.

"In this way, the old way will take the first step, and the old way will wait for the little friend at the bottom. The old Taoist priest did not shirk it, and after saluting Xia Yu with one hand, he also walked down the rope on the cliff.

After the old Taoist, the remaining few people in Longhu Mountain also climbed down one after another.

When everyone went down, there were only Xia Yu and Dabi on the top of the mountain.

"Master, do you go down first or do I go down first?" Da Bi asked Xia Yu.

"Go down first, and I'll be there later." Xia Yu said.

"Alright then, Master, I'll go down first. After Da Bi finished speaking to Xia Yu, he went straight to the rope and climbed down.
