Chapter 43: A Desperate Reunion
This kind of frenzied looting did not stop until three days later, when Xiao Mian found that the original crimson Fire Light Beast had turned a little golden.
It's also to blame Xiao Mian for being careless, in the past three days, he has only cared about collecting the mysterious gold liquid, but he didn't find that the color of the fire beast has already gradually become golden, and when Xiao Mian noticed it, the fire beast that was originally like a ball of fire was already like being painted with a layer of gold paint, and the sun was shining brightly. What worried Xiao Mian even more was that the small body of the Fire Light Beast was swaying, just like Xiao Mian, who was drunk and delicate a few days ago.
Is the mysterious gold liquid still drunk?
Hu Si was thinking wildly, but Xiao Mian was a little apprehensive.
Not to mention that after getting along in the past three days, Xiao Mian has regarded the quite humane Fire Light Beast as his companion, not to mention that Xiao Mian himself has drunk a lot of gold liquid after the porcelain bottle is exhausted, if there is really anything wrong with the mysterious gold liquid, then the unlucky one is definitely not only a greedy Fire Light Beast, but also a greedy person!
Fortunately, after dancing for a while, the fire beast seemed to have passed the strength of the wine and came to its senses, but it no longer dared to drink the mysterious golden liquid, as if it would be completely drunk to death after taking a small sip. Xiao Mian naturally didn't dare to touch the still flowing gold liquid, and after sealing the hole with a branch, seeing the firelight orcs standing up and looking around, Xiao Mian couldn't help but secretly speak: This little guy is becoming more and more like a human!
After a while, the Flame Beast seemed to find its direction, and then called out to Xiao Mian.
"You...... You're asking me to come with you?"
"Squeak-squeak-"
After three days of getting along, one person and one beast became more tacit, the fire beast no longer only relied on nodding or shaking its head to express its meaning, and even made some long and short orderly syllables, and Xiao Mian heard the eagerness and affirmation of the fire beast from the two long and short squeaks, and the little guy hoped that Xiao Mian would follow it to a place quickly.
With nothing to do, Xiao Mian followed the firelight beast and saw a golden light in front and a figure behind, cutting through the tranquil red maple forest.
I don't know how long I ran, Xiao Mian suddenly felt enlightened, and when he looked up, he saw that he had run out of the red maple forest, and in front of him was a waist-length grass that could not be seen, thinking that this was the so-called Northern Wilderness Prairie.
In Xiao Mian's stunned moment, the Fire Light Beast had already rushed into the unusually lush grass.
Look at the sky that is about to darken, look at the verdant in front of him, Xiao Mian at this time can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, he doesn't know the road at all, he can only follow the fire beast into the grassland I don't know how vast, he can only hope that the fire beast will not get lost now!
However, looking at the performance of the Fire Beast, it is obviously familiar with the road.
After rushing into the grassland, he walked for another hour, and only when the stars shone overhead and the moon hung in the sky did the Fire Light Beast stop in front of a dark hole.
"This can't be your home, is it?"
"Squeak!" the flaremon nodded back, then turned and lunged into the black hole. Xiao Mian swallowed his saliva and looked at the bottomless cave and hesitated for a long time, until the fire beast came back to summon him again, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the cave. The cave is very long, and the further you go inside, the narrower it becomes, and many places can barely allow one person to pass, but when you think that this is the lair of the Fire Beast, Xiao Mian is relieved.
Just then Xiao Mian was puzzled, and at the end of the cave was a dead end of ten zhang in size!
Looking at the empty cave, and then at the innocent Fire Light Beast, Xiao Mian's expression became more and more unkind-Sample, you won't be playing with me, right!?
Before Xiao Mian could make a difficult move to teach the Fire Light Beast a lesson, he saw the Fire Light Beast leap forward and crash towards a dark and secluded mountain rock wall. Xiao Mian was shocked and wanted to stop it, but with a flash of golden light, the fire beast disappeared like a stone falling into the water, and what was even more strange was that there were layers of ripple-like ripples spreading out on the stone wall.
What kind of stone wall is this!
It's clearly a phantom array that hides people's ears!
After understanding, Xiao Mian didn't dare to enter rashly.
No matter how psychic the Fire Light Beast is, it will never lay out such an exquisite phantom array, so there are only two possibilities: first, either this phantom array is left by the predecessors, and the Fire Light Beast is just a dove occupying the magpie's nest and using it as a portal to cover the nest;
Advance or retreat?
If you go in, you will have to face an unknown high-level monk, and if you retreat, Xiao Mian will not find a way back - Edgeworth can naturally get out of Huoyun Ridge, but it is easy to be shot down by the high-level monks who are flooding the vicinity of Huoyun Ridge at this time.
That little guy shouldn't hurt himself!
Maybe this phantom array has been arranged for a long time, and the master who arranged the phantom array has left or even died, and he is just scaring himself. Maybe the master in the phantom array is still there, but he is a kind-hearted person like the scholar of the Yuan Infant Ancestor, not only will he not embarrass himself, but he will also help him return to the Five Elements Gate.
All the thoughts flashed in his heart one by one, and finally Xiao Mian made a decision.
One thought is established, and all thoughts are gone.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian resolutely stepped into the stone wall.
said that Xiao Mian had thought about all the possible scenes on the other side of the phantom array, but after Xiao Mian's body crossed the stone wall, he realized that he still hadn't guessed correctly. A violent yin wind whistled up from below, and Xiao Mian's body fell sharply.
Behind the phantom array, there was a bottomless cliff!
After being frightened, Xiao Mian hurriedly released his Xuanfeng Sword, and only after stepping on the enlarged Xuanfeng Sword to stop the falling figure did Xiao Mian breathe a sigh of relief. But after Xiao Mian saw the environment he was in clearly, he was forced to hold it in his throat before he could spit out the turbidity that was about to come out, but he couldn't spit it out.
Directly opposite Xiao Mian was a huge black stone with a height and width of hundreds of zhang, and there were thousands of secret holes densely distributed on the black stone, and the secret hole seemed to be burned out by the fire, which looked extremely rough. With the starlight shining overhead, each cave shines brightly, as if tens of thousands of bonfires are burning in the shadows. Underneath the black boulder, it was mostly suspended in the air, supported only by a thin stone pillar. Looking down, I saw that the black hole was bottomless, as if it went straight to the netherworld.
After the shock, Xiao Mian reacted: I'm afraid this is the habitat of the Fire Light Beast clan.
"Squeak!"
A whistling sound in the quiet space was exceptionally clear, Xiao Mian was overjoyed when he heard it, and following the sound, he saw a small golden figure looking at him at the entrance of a secret cave at the bottom of the black stone, which was almost close to the ground.
"Little one, I almost scared you to death!"
Flying down to the void at the level of the secret hole where he was with the fire beast, Xiao Mian smiled and scolded and wanted to catch the fire beast, but before Xiao Mian could catch the little guy, his eyes caught a glimpse of not only the fire light beast in the secret cave, but also a person!
Frightened, Xiao Mian was about to escape, but found that his body couldn't move at all. At that moment, the man raised his head, revealing an expressionless face.
"Little friend, I didn't expect that we would meet again in a few days......!
