Lan Ke opened his mouth and blew a gentle and long whistle, and the golden-eyed eagle flew over, hovering above the woman's head, scanning the bottom with its bright golden eyes.
Yuan Ming and Agula followed closely, paying attention to the surroundings and alerting themselves to the attack of the Fire Rock Snake.
"Goo!"
After a while, the golden-eyed eagle suddenly screamed and looked at a black stone in front of him on the right, which seemed to be the product of cooling magma.
Seeing this, Lan Ke raised his hand and pointed forward without saying anything, and the silver bracelet on his wrist shot out and hit the black stone.
The light on the bracelet condensed, forming a blade-like silver light that split the black stone in half like piercing through rotten soil.
A fist-sized piece of fiery red jade is embedded in the black stone, which is exactly the fiery jade.
A trace of surprise flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes. The golden-eyed eagle's eyes were so magical that they could even see through the inside of stones?
"The first piece!" Lan Ke walked over and picked up the fire jade.
A dark red shadow shot out from behind a nearby stone, but it turned out to be a big dark red snake as thick as a bowl. Its sharp fangs bit Lan Ke's calf. It was the unique fire rock snake here.
This snake is only a first-level low-level ferocious beast, and its attack is not very powerful. However, the snake's fangs contain strong poison, and even a monk at the peak of Qi refining will be in big trouble if bitten.
Agula raised his hand, and a water arrow quickly shot towards the fire rock snake amid the blue light.
But his action was a step too late, and the water arrow was obviously too late to stop the red snake.
Lan Ke frowned, the chain on his wrist lit up with silver light, and he was about to stop the Fire Rock Snake.
At this moment, the ground rumbled, and a sharp wooden thorn emerged, piercing the body of the fire rock snake and pushing it up.
The blue water arrow finally came and hit the snake.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the Fire Rock Snake's body was split into two pieces. Blood spilled out. The two snake bodies twisted a few times and soon stopped moving.
Lan Ke recalled the silver bracelet, put away the fire jade, turned to Yuan Ming, nodded, and continued searching forward.
Yuan Ming followed closely behind, paying close attention to the movements around him.
Agula felt a little embarrassed, his face became increasingly ugly, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes as he looked at Yuan Ming's back.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The three of them cooperated more and more skillfully. Yuan Ming and Agula worked together to block all the fire rock snakes that launched sneak attacks. Lan Ke no longer had any worries and could safely drive the golden-eyed eagle to search for the fire jade, which was very efficient.
So far, they have found more than twenty pieces of fire jade, and Lan Ke also divided the fire jade between Yuan Ming and Agula according to the proportions agreed upon before.
Yuan Ming touched his arms. There were already seven pieces of fire jade inside, which made a crisp sound when they collided. Five pieces of fire jade can be exchanged for a little contribution value. These fire jade have almost one and a half contribution points.
It's still early now. If we go at the current speed, we can collect a dozen or even twenty pieces of fire jade before dark, which will be four points of contribution value.
When he thought of this, Yuan Ming's heart suddenly became hot.
At this moment, his Dantian suddenly jumped, and his magic power had bottomed out.
Without enough mana to protect his body, he began to feel pain everywhere in his body.
Yuan Ming does not have fire-preventing treasures like Lan Ke and Agula, so it is not easy to persist until now.
"You two, my mana is about to be exhausted, so I have to leave here and take a rest." Yuan Ming said without forcing himself.
Agula raised his chin slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and his gloomy face looked better.
"It doesn't matter, you go ahead. The two of us can protect ourselves," Lan Ke said.
"Well, you continue to look for the fire jade. You two can divide the harvest between you and me." Yuan Ming said, quickly left, and soon arrived at the foot of the volcanic giant peak.
The temperature here has returned to normal, so he found a secluded place and started running the Nine Elements Art.
The spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together to replenish his magic power.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Yuan Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
The mana in the Dantian has only recovered less than half, and the recovery speed is obviously slower than before.
"What's going on? The spiritual energy here is not thin." Yuan Ming was about to investigate carefully when a squeaking sound came from a distance, and it sounded familiar.
He stood up, hid behind a nearby large rock, and looked in the direction of the sound.
A slim red shadow like a fox appeared in the distance, running quickly towards the volcano. It was the fire ferret of the Third Cave Master.
"Huo Gan'er! Why did it come here? Could it be that the Third Cave Master came here?" Yuan Ming walked out.
He said that it was the sect that the Third Cave Master brought him into, and the Huolian Hall where he was staying now was also under his jurisdiction. If she was nearby, he should come forward to pay her respects.
Yuan Ming looked around for a long time, but did not find the three cave masters.
At this time, Huo Diao also noticed Yuan Ming in the distance, turned his head and looked over here, and paused in his running steps.
But it quickly looked away and continued to fly towards the volcano.
Yuan Ming had a look of surprise on his face. Looking at Huo Mink like this, he seemed to be chasing something.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, but it was a tall red-haired young man running towards here with sweat all over his head. Judging from his clothing, he was a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall.
"Senior brother in front, please stop that fire ferret. It is the spiritual beast of the Third Cave Master. It must not be allowed to touch the magma. It cannot withstand the high temperature of the magma!" The red-haired young man shouted as he ran, his voice clear.
With eagerness.
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment.
According to this person's opinion, is the fire ferret going to go into the magma?
Although the fire ferret's intelligence has not yet been opened, even ants have survival instincts, so why would they jump into the lava?
However, this fire ferret was galloping forward, its eyes were full of fire, and it seemed that it was going forward indomitably and never looking back.
"You won't really jump into the lava!" Yuan Ming's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly chased after him, shouting the name of "Huo Greedy".
However, the fire ferret, who was originally quite close to him, ignored his call at this moment and ran towards the volcanic lava ahead without looking back, as if there was something extremely attractive to it.
The fire ferret was running very fast. Yuan Ming had already used the Shadowless Step, but he still couldn't catch up. The distance between the two was still widening.
Yuan Ming remembered the life-saving grace of the Third Cave Master, gritted his teeth, and used the fur-draping technique.
The skin of the white ape was wrapped around his body, and he transformed into the form of a white ape in the blink of an eye. His speed suddenly increased, but it was only on par with the fire ferret.
At this moment, the two are not far from the volcanic lava, and at the speed of the fire ferret, they can reach them immediately.
Yuan Ming rolled his eyes, took out a piece of fire jade from his arms, and threw it forward.
He had seen the third cave master use a red crystal stone to attract the fire mink before. Fire jade is also a fire-attribute ore, so it might be useful.
Huo Puyu crossed an arc and landed accurately in front of Huo Mink.
The fire ferret looked at Huo Puyu, screamed joyfully, pounced on it, and picked it up in its mouth.
"It really works." Yuan Ming's eyes were filled with joy and he quickened his pace.
However, the Fire Ferret raised its head, swallowed the Fire Puyu in one gulp, and immediately continued to run forward, only pausing for three breaths before and after.
Yuan Ming's expression froze. Fortunately, three breaths were also time, and the distance between the two became closer.
He continued to chase forward, and painfully took out another piece of fire jade and threw it out, landing in front of the fire ferret.
The fire ferret seemed to really like the fire jade, so it stopped again, grabbed it in its mouth, raised its head and swallowed it, and then continued to run forward.
With the previous experience of holding jade, the fire mink only took about two breaths this time.
"It's really edible." Yuan Ming muttered helplessly, and continued to take out the fire jade and throw it out.
The seven pieces of spiritual jade were exhausted in the blink of an eye, but the distance between the two finally narrowed to less than three feet, but the distance between the fire marten and the magma was also less than five feet.
Yuan Ming clicked the secret key at the right moment. The ground in front of the fire ferret rumbled, and a thick wooden thorn appeared out of thin air.
The fire ferret almost bumped into it, growled angrily, and took a detour from the side.
However, there was also a roar from the other side, and a thick wooden thorn appeared, blocking its way again.
Without waiting for the fire ferret to react, there were continuous sounds in other directions around it, and wooden thorns kept popping out, forming a wooden fence in the blink of an eye, surrounding the fire ferret.
After the fire ferret circled in place for a few times, it suddenly paused and then jumped upwards.
Those wooden thorns were only four or five feet high, and the fire ferret had good jumping power and jumped out easily.
However, just as it jumped up, a big hand covered with white hair stretched out from the side and grabbed the fire ferret's back.
The fire ferret clawed at it with all four claws and roared, but the skin on the back of its neck was restrained. No matter how hard it struggled, it was all in vain.
Yuan Ming ignored the fire mink and immediately lifted the fur covering technique.
One more breath after using the Hair Clothing Technique will accumulate more evil energy in the body. Although the Ming Yue Technique seems to be able to resolve it, he still plans to use it as soon as possible.
The white ape's skin slipped from his body, and he grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms.
At this moment, Huo Diao didn't know whether it was because he was tired from roaring, or because he saw Yuan Ming's true form, he suddenly calmed down.
"Junior Brother Yuan, why are you here?" A voice suddenly came from the front, and two figures walked out of a depression in front, but they were Mu Li and Chi Shu.
"What did you catch? Fire fox? Be careful!" Mu Li frowned when he saw the fire fox in Yuan Ming's hand, and was about to hit him with the iron rod in his hand.
There are countless ferocious beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and it is not surprising that they have any weird abilities. It is best to kill them immediately if you encounter them. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Chi Shu made a secret in his hand, and two fireballs the size of a human head came out in front of him, ready to go.
"You two, stop, that is the third cave master's spiritual beast, a young fire ferret!" Yuan Ming hurriedly put the fire ferret behind him and said.
"The third cave master's spiritual beast! Why is it here?" Mu Li was taken aback, put away the iron rod and asked.
"I'm afraid I have to ask him this." Yuan Ming turned and looked behind him.
The red-haired young man was panting and rushed over. Seeing that the fire mink had been caught by Yuan Ming, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands and thanked: "Thank you... thank you three senior brothers for your help!"
They had already reached the giant peak. The terrain was uneven and blocked by many protruding rocks. The young man did not see what Yuan Ming had just done, and thought that it was only with the help of Mu Li and the two men that he stopped Huo Diao.
