"If you want to thank him, just thank him. The two of us didn't do anything, so we don't dare to take credit." Chi Shu glanced at Yuan Ming and said to the red-haired young man.
"Thank you, senior brother. Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been in big trouble." The red-haired young man hurriedly thanked Yuan Ming.
"Senior brother is not worthy of the word, I am Yuan Ming of Huolian Hall. I just entered Biluo Cave not long ago. These two are Mu Li, a disciple of Lianlu Hall, and Chi Shu, a disciple of Lugui Hall. I don't know your name?" Yuan Ming introduced without explaining.
asked after meeting Mu Li and the other two.
"I am Lower Legon, a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall." The red-haired young man scratched his head and hurriedly introduced himself.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Legong. I have seen this fire ferret before. It is the beloved spiritual beast of the Third Cave Master. Why did you bring it here?" Yuan Ming handed the fire ferret over and asked.
Legon hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, but as soon as the fire ferret reached his hand, it suddenly struggled violently, squeaking and screaming, and clawed hard at the young man's hand.
The fire ferret's claws were quite sharp, and several knife-like wounds were immediately made on Legon's hand, and blood flowed out gurglingly.
He cried out in pain, loosened his grip, and the fire ferret fell down.
Yuan Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch the fire mink.
Strangely enough, as soon as the fire ferret came into Yuan Ming's hands, it immediately became docile. Instead of struggling to hurt anyone, it nudged his body with its head.
Seeing this scene, Legong, Mu Li, and Chi Shu all looked surprised.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Yuan is not only good at refining weapons, but he is also proficient in the art of controlling animals!" Legon said.
"Yuan entered the sect for the first time, so he doesn't know anything about the art of controlling beasts. It's just that I was lucky enough to meet the third cave master in Shiwan Mountain. I followed her and took care of this fire ferret for a while. Maybe it still remembers me.
Right." Yuan Ming explained half-truthfully.
"So that's it." Legon exclaimed, his eyes seeming a little disappointed.
Mu Li and Chi Shu heard that Yuan Ming and the Third Cave Master were familiar with each other, and looked at each other, and their eyes towards Yuan Ming changed a little unconsciously.
Ga...
A piercing scream sounded, and the golden-eyed eagle flew over. Lan Ke and Agula stood on the back of the eagle, obviously noticing the situation here and rushing over.
"Legon, why are you here?" Lan Ke jumped off the eagle's back, looked at Legong and asked, as if he knew Legong well.
Agula also jumped down after him, and the chest of his clothes became a lot bigger. It was obvious that he had gained a lot in this moment of effort.
"Senior Sister Lan Ke, it's because of this fire ferret." Legon nodded in greeting and said with a slight wry smile.
"You shouldn't have accepted the mission from the Third Cave Master, right?" Lan Ke looked at the fire ferret in Yuan Ming's hand and asked.
"Yeah, I didn't think it through well. This task is much more difficult than I expected. If it weren't for the help of Junior Brother Yuan and the others, I almost failed today. It seems that my talent in animal control is not enough, so this task should end here.
Legon sighed.
"What are you two talking about? Don't just look after yourselves, let us also listen. Brother Legon is performing a sect mission?" Mu Li asked with a frown.
They are here to collect fire jade, and they don't want to be involved in other things.
"Junior brother Muli, don't worry. The task I mentioned is nothing else but to take care of this fire ferret. It will be awarded by the Third Cave Master and it will not affect our collection of fire jade." Lan Ke said.
"Take care of the fire ferret? Is there such a task?" Yuan Ming looked surprised.
It's just a spiritual beast to take care of, but it still needs to be assigned a task? If the fire ferret is really naughty, just lock it up.
"Junior brother Yuan, you don't know how to control beasts, and you don't know the way to do it. The cultivation of spiritual beasts is not just about eating and drinking well, but also taking good care of their emotions and guiding their temperament. This fire ferret is still in its infancy.
, it is the time when it is lively and active, and long-term detention will affect its growth. The Lord of the Third Cave is busy with work and has no time, so he issued this task." Legon said.
"I see, it's just that I didn't seem to see this mission in the execution hall?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The people in the Execution Hall are too confused. The Third Cave Master did not directly announce this mission. He only said hello to our people in the Beast Taming Hall, so the mission stone tablet did not show it." Legon said.
Yuan Ming groaned and was about to say something when the fire ferret in his hand suddenly jerked away, jumped out of Yuan Ming's arms and fell to the ground.
Yuan Ming was startled and was about to reach out to grab him again, but the fire ferret did not escape. He opened his mouth and bit Yuan Ming's clothes and pulled him away.
"Quack, quack!" Lan Ke's golden-eyed eagle also made a sharp cry and looked at the giant volcano peak in horror.
Everyone present was stunned.
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and everyone present almost fell down due to their strength.
Before they could stabilize their bodies, the ground shook a second time, and then a third time...
Yuan Ming's face turned pale, and he held on to a large rock next to him, barely able to steady himself.
At this moment, rumbling sounds rolled from the ground, like countless rolling thunders, and the ground shook violently, as if an unstoppable force suddenly erupted.
In front of this huge force, the few people present were like saplings in the strong wind, unable to resist at all, and their bodies were directly thrown away.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "rumbling" sound came from the distance!
Yuan Ming reluctantly raised his head, his expression suddenly changed.
I saw the crater shaking violently, an extremely thick pillar of magma spurting out, and countless red magma pouring down along the giant mountain.
Where several people were, magma was also sweeping in.
Yuan Ming immediately activated his hair-clothing technique and transformed into the form of a white ape.
The white ape was strong and heavy, much more stable than in human form, and ran wildly down the mountain.
Lan Ke and others also hurriedly used their own methods and fled towards the distance.
At this time, everyone can only care about themselves and cannot care about others at all.
Yuan Ming rolled and crawled away towards the distance. He fell down countless times and finally reached the foot of the mountain.
If it weren't for the rough skin and thick flesh of a white ape, his head would have been bruised and bloody.
Even with the ape skin protection, he was bruised and swollen from the fall, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his head was buzzing.
But now is not the time to rest, the rushing magma has arrived not far behind him, melting and submerging everything on the road.
"Squeaks ..." The cry of Fire Mink came from front, and rushed agile towards a short mountain on the right. It was not affected by shaking the ground at all.
Yuan Ming's eyes lit up and he immediately ran away there and soon reached the foot of the low mountain.
He urged the white ape's hide, and his fingers grew sharp ape claws, which easily penetrated into the rocks, and quickly climbed towards the top of the short mountain.
The torrential magma flowed forward, rushing several miles down the mountain before slowly stopping, and everything was swallowed up by the red magma.
The earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption gradually subsided, and the ground slowly returned to calm.
At this moment, Yuan Ming had climbed to the top of the short mountain, lifted the furry spell and transformed, lying down on his back, breathing heavily with lingering fear.
The fire ferret lay beside him, looking quite peaceful.
"Huo Tan'er, thank you very much this time." Yuan Ming gently stroked Huo Tan'er's head.
If it hadn't been for the warning from the fire ferret, who ran to this low mountain to take refuge in time, 80% of his body would have been swallowed up by the magma, leaving no trace of his body.
He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then stood up and looked around, looking for traces of other people.
Lan Ke, Mu Li and others all have flying spirit beasts. As long as they can summon them in time and fly into the air, they should be able to escape and ascend to the sky.
There seems to be no flying spiritual beasts in Legon. I wonder if any of them have escaped.
There was red lava everywhere, not to mention people, not a single bird.
Yuan Ming shook his head and checked the situation around Aishan.
Three sides here have been covered by lava. Fortunately, there is an area behind that is free of lava, leaving a channel.
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, picked up the fire mink, and walked there.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." Passing somewhere, the fire ferret suddenly screamed excitedly, staring at a piece of lava not far away, with longing in his eyes.
Yuan Ming stopped and looked at where Huo Diao's eyes fell.
"Hey!" He raised his eyebrows and pointed out.
There was a rumble on the ground in the magma area, and a thick wooden thorn emerged, which was already burnt to black.
Green light shone tenaciously from the inside of the wooden thorn, resisting the burning of the magma, and suddenly bent outwards, like a big hand splashing water.
With a "crash" sound, a piece of magma was thrown out by the wooden thorn and landed not far in front of Yuan Ming.
A long object rolled out of the magma, but it was a fiery red object, about a foot long, and curved, as if it were the curved horn of some strange beast.
The whole body of the curved corner shines with red light, as if there is a flame burning on it.
Yuan Ming's eyes lit up. Although this fiery red horn did not emit much spiritual power fluctuations, its appearance alone was extraordinary. It was far from comparable to fire jade. It should be a high-grade spiritual material.
Could it be that the fire ferret rushed towards the magma like crazy just because of this thing?
The fire ferret cheered, turned into an afterimage and pounced forward, biting into the fiery red horn, apparently intending to swallow it.
"Stop, no, shut up!" Yuan Ming rushed forward and grabbed the other end of the fiery red horn.
This thing is not a low-level spiritual material like Huo Puyu. Any high-level spiritual material is extremely valuable. If the fire ferret eats it like this, it will be a huge loss.
The fire ferret bit the fiery red horn tightly, its strength was astonishing. Yuan Ming used most of his strength, but he still couldn't take it away.
He was secretly anxious, and was about to use other means to seize the corner, when he suddenly found that the fire ferret's teeth could not bite the object at all, and the sharp teeth could not leave even a single mark.
Yuan Ming felt relieved, stopped snatching, and looked at the fire mink with a smile.
The fire ferret bit the horn over and over again until his teeth became sore. He couldn't bite the horn even slightly, so he could only give up in frustration.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming picked up the flaming horn and looked at it carefully.
This object is hot to the touch, but not hot, and is quite comfortable to hold in the hand. There are some strange flame patterns looming on the horn lines, which seem to be natural.
"What kind of exotic beast's horn is this? Can it be well preserved in magma?" Yuan Ming thought to himself, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
He was standing not far from the lava at the moment. The surrounding heat was unbearable and he had been using all his strength to resist it. But after getting the flaming red horn, the heat around him suddenly weakened a lot. The flaming red horn seemed to be isolating the surrounding heat?
