Chapter 80 Flame Witch
"This lava isn't flowing like a normal stream; it's like a huge amount of lava is pouring down from above us!" Lu Jie said as he ran.
When they passed by just now, there was only a babbling spring, hidden in the crevices of the rocks and the ravines of the mountain walls, posing no threat to the group walking up the winding mountain path. But now, lava has overflowed onto the road...
This is sufficient to show that the molten lava was poured down, and that the speed and amount of pouring down were constantly increasing; otherwise, the molten lava flowing along the grooves could never have overflowed.
It's one thing if some overflows, but to accumulate so much in such a short time—if it fills up a narrow opening, the molten lava will start to seep up from there…
Once the lava completely fills the entire passage, these people stuck halfway through the mountain path will be soaked to death by the lava, with no way to escape to heaven or earth!
"Brother Jie, what should we do?" Zhang Xiaohou asked anxiously.
"I noticed this when we came up. There's a side cave on the mountain path. We can hide inside and seal the entrance with rocks," Lu Jie said to the group.
"Then what are we waiting for? Run faster!" Zhao Manyan shouted, even using his magic-enhancing tools to run even faster.
The others followed behind.
Soon, they reached the side cave that Lu Jie had mentioned.
"Quick, seal it with earth magic!" Lingling shouted.
Zhang Xiaohou quickly used earth magic to seal the entire entrance to the cave.
In an instant, the entire cave became completely dark, but Lu Jie and Zhao Manyan turned on the light bulbs, which allowed everyone to see everything inside the cave clearly.
"Phew~~ I'm saved." Zhao Chenying breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster.
They were racing against time; if they had been even a little slower, they would have been swallowed by the lava.
From within the scalding molten lava, a creature covered in fiery red armor emerged.
It has two faces, one human and one beast. The lava is clearly a very comfortable bath for it, and it is soaking there with its wide mouth open, seemingly clenching its teeth.
The prey that was within reach has escaped!
"Clang! Clang!"
The dull and piercing sound traveled through the stone wall into the cave. The sound was very soft, and apart from Lingling, everyone else was a magician, whose five senses were much stronger than those of ordinary people.
However, they didn't pay attention to any of that, and instead waited to see when the molten lava pouring down from above would finally disappear...
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, right in the center of the northern corner of this scorching plain that resembled a blazing inferno.
The only towering mountain in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan is the Fire Pillar Mountain, which is closest to the sun. Almost no living things can be seen on the mountaintop, but some plants that need the heat of the flames grow vigorously, covering the land on the flat-topped mountain in large patches.
They are fiery red, like a dense carpet of maple leaves, spreading out in abundance.
When the red leaves fall, they resemble candle flames, slowly drifting down from mid-air. If a strong gust of wind sweeps through, the air is adorned with these fluttering candle flames, creating an extremely beautiful scene.
The blazing sun slanted and slowly sank below the horizon. As evening approached, the group of seven entered the Fiery Cloud Forest.
"This is it! We're almost there!" Zhao Chenying exclaimed with joy.
"My dear Flame Princess, my dear Flame Princess, where are you? I'm coming!" Mo Fan shook off his fatigue, his eyes scanning everywhere like searchlights, afraid of missing a corner where Flame Princess might be hiding.
The others looked on with varying degrees of delight; they were the first to arrive here, and all the treasures that appeared belonged to them.
Just then, a bright red humanoid object slowly approached them. It moved very strangely, its toes slightly raised and its legs hovering, like a ghost floating between several fire cloud trees that were over ten meters tall.
"It's Yan Ji!" Zhao Manyan shouted as he noticed the bright red humanoid object.
As everyone looked, a humanoid creature completely enveloped in flames, with a figure that resembled that of a mature and beautiful woman, floated over.
However, when Zhao Chenying looked at the fiery humanoid creature, she felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.
"Are you Yan Ji?" Mo Fan asked.
The other party seemed to understand human speech, and after hearing the name Yan Ji, they looked at them with great vigilance.
Although he was watching them warily, he didn't show any hostility.
"Can you understand what we're saying?" Lingling asked.
The Flame Witch nodded.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised.
This flame-like being is no different from a human in terms of height and build; in fact, to be more precise, its physique is very similar to that of a woman, with a graceful and delicate figure...
Moreover, her entire body was made of flames, even her face was a burning flame. Although she had the outline of facial features, they were not as delicate as those of a human.
The Flame Witch hovered beside them, a look on her face that was hard for everyone to understand.
"We mean no harm, we just want to find this guy a contracted beast. Are you Yan Ji?" Lu Jie asked, pointing at Mo Fan.
Upon hearing this, the Flame Witch's flame-formed face showed a thoughtful expression before she shook her head.
"It seems she isn't," Lingling said at this moment.
"Have you ever met Yan Ji?" Ye Xinxia asked.
The Flame Witch shook her head, as if to tell everyone that even if they had seen it, she couldn't tell them where it was.
She remained wary of everyone else, but when she looked at Zhao Chenying, she revealed a motherly and loving expression.
"Never mind if you don't have one. I just wanted to give it a try," Mo Fan said.
The night sky is like a pitch-black curtain, with stars like sparkling jewels adorning it.
It felt as if the entire Pingdingshan was enveloped by the night sky. Even when looking straight ahead from the ground, one could still see a dense, beautiful, and ancient sea of stars...
"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"
Suddenly, a cool breeze swept by, accompanied by a hissing sound that sent chills down one's spine.
The Flame Witch stood in front of Zhao Chenying, her gaze scrutinizing the flat-topped mountain surrounded by fiery cloud trees...
Suddenly, the fiery red leaves scattered all over the ground were pushed aside, as if something was wriggling rapidly inside.
The leaves began to flutter, and a three-headed python, about fifteen or sixteen meters long, swam toward the group at an incredible speed.
Three heads of different colors stood up: the one on the left was dark brown, the one in the middle was fiery red, and the one on the right was turquoise!
The three-headed python noticed the group and stared at them with a fierce look in its eyes.
"Ring~~~"
The Flame Witch let out a clear yet angry voice, and the three-headed serpent, perhaps frightened by her, turned and ran away.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If you don't have any real strength, you shouldn't have come out.
Without any power or background, how dare he operate in the underworld? He's just a nobody.
