Chapter 378: Encountering an old friend on the way
Shi Mu took a breath and his eyes calmed down.
The Hundred Thousand Volcanoes are extremely dangerous, and it would be too dangerous to cross them, but it is not impossible to survive.
To the west of Shiwan Volcano, there is also a large city similar in size to Chiyan City, called Hell City. It is connected to Chiyan City by a large teleportation circle, which can be directly teleported to Hell City through the teleportation circle.
Of course, people from Hell City can also teleport to Scarlet Flame City.
Chi Yan City and Hell City have special locations, right on the dividing line between the demon clan and the barbarian clan.
When the high-level officials of both sides built the teleportation array, they had already negotiated that fighting was prohibited in the two cities. Here, both sides had to temporarily put aside their racial hatred and live in peace.
After all, although the demon tribe and the barbarian tribe have always been hostile, they also depend on each other to a certain extent.
The barbarians need a large amount of resources that are abundant within the demon clan's sphere of influence, and the demon clan also needs the things produced by the barbarians, so the prosperity of Scarlet Flame City and Hellfire City came into being.
The situation in Chiyan City happened to be favorable to Shi Mu. He could practice here with peace of mind, improve his strength, and make final preparations for heading to Lingtian Peak.
"Let's go." Shi Mu said and waved his hand.
The long blue shuttle radiated bright light, wrapping him and Cai'er and flying towards Scarlet Flame City.
…
Although Shi Mu had already made some predictions about the dangers in Shiwan Volcano, he originally thought that this place was still in the peripheral area and there shouldn't be much danger.
As a result, he had not been flying for long before he felt that he had underestimated this place.
First of all, the volcanoes here, no matter how big or small, may erupt at any time, and in addition to the top of the mountain, even the nearby ground may crack, and spew out lava pillars up to a hundred feet high, which can almost touch the black clouds in mid-air.
.
Moreover, this kind of injection will bring about a chain effect, causing continuous injection for a period of time within several miles nearby.
The scene, seen from a distance, looked like a group of red stone pillars stretching from the sky to the ground, which was quite spectacular.
Shi Mucai had flown less than three hundred miles when he encountered such a large-scale outbreak. Since he was on the edge of the outbreak, and he reacted quickly, seeing the opportunity coming, he immediately urged the long sapphire shuttle to turn away, which could be regarded as
No surprises.
But someone was not so lucky. He witnessed with his own eyes that a small group of barbarians were completely wiped out in the blink of an eye by the impact of the lava and fire pillars, leaving no bones left.
In addition, these seemingly nothing special black clouds in the mid-air are like assassins lurking in the mid-air, and from time to time they will drop downpours of acid rain.
These acid rains are extremely corrosive. Not to mention the flesh and blood of warriors and warlocks, even some defensive magic weapons and spiritual weapons may not be able to withstand it. This is why the mountain surfaces along the way are all small.
There are quite a few irregular pits, and some dead bones and corpses can be seen from time to time.
So Shi Mu tried his best to pick some places where barbarians were. After all, this was near Chiyan City. These barbarians should have some experience in avoiding risks.
In this way, during this seemingly short distance, Shi Mu flew quite tortuously, turning left and right in the volcanoes, approaching Chiyan City little by little.
Half a day later.
Above a black and red mountain peak, a green light flew from above.
In the blue light, Shi Mu stepped on a blue jade shuttle, his left hand drooped, wrapped in a brown glove, and his eyes swept around from time to time, with a look of caution on his face.
Suddenly, he pressed the spell with his right hand, and the sapphire shuttle under his feet suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then he looked towards a mountain peak not far away, with a faint golden light in his eyes.
"Shitou, what's wrong?" Cai'er on her shoulder said, following Shi Mu's gaze.
It was a volcano that seemed to have just erupted. On the surface of the mountain, the newly solidified magma was still emitting scorching heat. Four figures were standing near the crater.
Among the four people, three were tall barbarians with leopard skins around their waists. They formed a posture and surrounded a human youth in the middle who was wearing a gray cloth short shirt and had a tattoo on his face.
"Shitou, this person seems to be..." Cai'er said with a slight hesitation.
"Let's go take a look." Shi Mu said, urging the sapphire shuttle to fly towards the volcano.
On the edge of the crater pit.
"Human boy, we three brothers have been waiting for this volcano for more than a month. If you are wise, hand over all the fire crystals!" A bald barbarian nearly three feet tall looked at the tattooed man and said.
"What a joke! I've been around here for the past few days, but I've never seen any of you. Besides, there are more than one volcano erupting nearby. If you want fire crystals, you can go pick them yourself. If you want to enjoy them, it's not that cheap.
Something!" said the tattooed man.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined! You are seeking death!" As soon as the bald barbarian finished speaking, two other barbarians rushed towards the tattooed man in the middle at the same time.
One of the one-eyed barbarians let out a low roar, and at some point two more short axes appeared in his hands. He bulged his arms and boosted his energy. The two short axes suddenly turned into two gray ax shadows and flew towards the tattooed man.
go.
Another tall and thin barbarian's chest flashed with blue light, and his arms suddenly lengthened and turned into two giant pincers. Then he waved the two giant pincers and rushed straight towards the tattooed man menacingly.
The tattooed man who was under attack had three stars appear on the back of his head. He made fast gestures with his hands and muttered words.
The next moment, the mountain on the side in front of him rumbled, and then an earthy-yellow earth wall emerged, and at the same time, the whole body was shrouded in an earthy-yellow light curtain.
"Bang bang" twice!
The two gray ax shadows that came in front of him first failed to break through the earth wall, and they were all bounced away in a flash of earthy yellow light.
The tall and thin barbarian also rushed in front of him at this moment, jumped up, swung the two giant pincers in front of him, and smashed the tattooed man on the head.
As if the tattooed man had been prepared, he raised one hand, and three cyan wind blades emerged, spinning in three directions and slashing at the opponent.
The three green wind blades were extremely fast and hit the tall and thin barbarian one after another at close range.
However, only three clanging sounds were heard. The surface of the opponent's body was covered by a layer of blue carapace at some point, and the three wind blades fell on it, leaving only three light white marks.
The tattooed man looked startled, but he took this opportunity to sway backwards, narrowly escaping the blow from the opponent's giant pincers.
But before he could stand still, he felt a cool breeze coming from his side, and the one-eyed barbarian took the opportunity to fly out two flying axes again.
Due to the tricky angle, I only had time to dodge one of them, but the other one couldn't dodge anyway. It was hit hard on the back. The khaki light curtain on the body shattered, and the whole person was hit by a huge force.
The force shot flew out, and half of the mana originally mentioned was also shaken away.
"Go to hell!"
The leader of the bald barbarians laughed wildly, and rushed over like a strong wind. At some point, a giant bronze hammer as tall as a person appeared in his hands, with a green light glowing on the surface, and he was ready to kill the tattooed man.
The tattooed man had just fallen to the ground. Seeing this, he felt horrified. He took out a talisman from his arms and threw it out without saying a word. It instantly transformed into a fire python about ten feet long and shot straight at the bald barbarian.
.
However, the bald barbarian refused to dodge and swung the giant bronze hammer forward in his hand. Suddenly, dense green hammer shadows emerged and faced the fire snake.
There was a "boom"!
The fire snake exploded and turned into a large fire cloud, but then a green light suddenly appeared, tearing the fire cloud apart, revealing the figure of the bald barbarian, who rushed towards the tattooed man with a ferocious look on his front.
The tattooed man immediately turned pale, closed his eyes and waited for death.
However, just when the bald barbarian rushed in front of the tattooed man, the tattooed man felt a golden light flash before his eyes, followed by a "boom".
The tattooed man opened his eyes, only to see that the previously menacing bald barbarian was now standing straight in front of him along with the bronze hammer in his hand. His head had detached from his body and rolled aside, with the expression still remaining on his face.
With a look of horror.
Not far in front of him, there was a young man in gray robe with a brown glove on his left hand and a bamboo hat on his head. A golden sword light circled and danced in front of him.
Isn’t it Shi Mu or who is it?
Not far away, the tall, thin barbarian and the one-eyed barbarian saw what was happening and realized that something was wrong, so they turned around and ran away without saying a word.
As a result, Shi Mu raised his right hand and activated his spell, and the golden sword light flew out in front of him like lightning. He heard two screams coming almost at the same time. The two barbarians who had just ran away not far away were already dead.
Somewhere else fell to the ground.
"Are you...Brother Mu Shi?" The tattooed man got up at this moment and asked with some uncertainty.
"Brother Yu, long time no see." Shi Mu turned around and said.
He knew this tattooed man, it was Yu Yi who had participated in the overseas selection competition with him in the ancient Xixia Kingdom.
Although the two had some friendship, it was not a deep friendship. They were both from Dongzhou Continent. When they met by chance, they felt a little more cordial. When they saw each other in danger, they rescued them.
"It is indeed you! I said that with Mu Shi's magical power, he will definitely survive! Thank you Brother Mu for saving your life!" Yu Yi was startled at first, and then said.
"It's just a piece of cake. By the way, why are you here and not in the Ming Yue Western Sect?" Shi Mu glanced at the gray cloth shirt on Yu Yi's body and asked.
"It's a long story..." Yu Yi heard the words and smiled bitterly.
As Shi Mu already knew before, after joining the Mingyue Western Sect, Liu An was named the deputy leader, but the palace masters and disciples he brought were divided into pieces by the Western Sect leader.
Arrived at various branches in Xiga continent.
Liu An did not raise the slightest objection to this.
Since these disciples of the Eastern Sect were all elites in the sect when they were in the Eastern Continent, they were already arrogant and arrogant, but the old disciples of the Western Sect in the branch were constantly making things difficult and depriving them of resources.
Yu Yi did not want to get involved in the dispute between the Eastern and Western religions, so he quietly left his branch more than a year ago. Later, by chance, he came to Chiyan City, where he hunted monsters and monsters.
Dig ore in exchange for cultivation resources.
Yu Yi was a smart man. He did not ask why Shi Mu appeared here. After learning that Shi Mu was also going to Scarlet Flame City, he immediately expressed that he was quite familiar with this area and was willing to lead the way.
