Chapter 693: Year Fire Ginseng (1)
“Little Fire Phoenix, from now on, you’re my subordinate. You have to protect this big brother!” Feng Zhan said to the depressed Fire Phoenix again.
“Yes,” the Fire Phoenix said, a little depressed. Moreover, it was definitely not just depressed. It had originally thought that it would become a contract beast for humans, but it had actually been looked down upon by all the humans present. Boohoo… Even though it was better to be a subordinate to its own kind than to be a contract beast for humans, for some reason, it felt uncomfortable in its heart.
“Alright, from now on, we’re all on the same side. Fire Phoenix, you’re the strongest amongst the beasts but you’re not allowed to bully other beasts.” Leng Ruoxue warned. She was afraid that this proud phoenix wouldn’t be convinced and would bully her cute beasts, so she naturally had to say the ugly words first.
“I understand.” The Fire Phoenix said in an extremely wronged manner. Boohoo… its strength was clearly not the strongest, okay? That little dog was. However, it definitely did not dare to say these words under the threat of Icy’s gaze.
“Let’s go! Can we go out from that side?” Leng Ruoxue pointed to the other side of the passage and asked. If they went back the way they came, it would be a bit far.
“Should be able to.” The Fire Phoenix said with uncertainty. Ever since it occupied this place, it had always been cultivating in the magma pool, not going there.
“Xue Er, let’s go over there and try!” Empty suggested.
“En.” Leng Ruoxue nodded her head. After that, she pulled the two of them to walk side by side at the front. No one else followed closely behind. The few little beasts and the limping Fire Phoenix walked at the back.
“Little Fire Bird, don’t even think about escaping!” Silver Wing, who was following behind the Fire Phoenix, warned.
“I have no intention of escaping!” The Fire Phoenix angrily denied. In fact, it really did have that thought. However, it didn’t dare to implement it because it was very afraid of that little dog. Now that its thoughts had been seen through by that damned pervert, it was furious!
“Hehe! Its injuries are so serious, where can it run to!?” the male fire fox gloated. Seeing this fire phoenix covered in wounds and limping, it was even happier than killing its enemy!
“You’re right.” Silver Wings sized up the Fire Phoenix and then said indifferently,” Hehe! Master didn’t give it any healing medicinal pills, probably afraid that it’ll flee! If its injuries really recover, then it’ll probably be difficult to capture it again!
Leng Ruoxue and the others walked through two passageways and saw the exit. This entrance was much bigger than the one they entered earlier. The two of them could walk out side by side. However, when they got closer, they realized why no one entered or left this entrance. It was because the bottom of the entrance was made up of endless fiery red magma and a sea of fire. The scorching temperature inside was something even fire attribute beasts could not withstand.
“Little Fire Phoenix, how nice this place is! Tell me, why are you fighting over territory with the Fire Fox?!” Feng Zhan said with a grin. Uh! It was too hot here, and it could barely stand it.
“If you like it, you can stay here.” The fire phoenix rolled its eyes at Feng Zhan and angrily said. Forget about the fact that it had not discovered this place back then. Even if it had seen it, it would not have chosen this place. Other than the heat, there was basically not much fire attribute spiritual aura here. Only a fool would like this place!
“Stop arguing, think about how to get out!” Leng Ruoxue said with a headache. Sigh! If she had known this would happen, she would have gone back the way she came! It was stuffy and hot here, the air had evaporated, how could she still see the spiritual aura!
“Master, let Little Fire Phoenix take us up there.” Feng Zhan suggested. Even though it was hot here, it was still bearable for the Fire Phoenix Clan. Moreover, the Fire Phoenix’s strength was high, so it naturally had to do the manual labor!
“En.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Then, she put her grandfather and the rest of the beastmen into her bracelet, leaving only the monster, Wu, Icy and Feng Zhan outside.
“Eh! What about them?” The fire phoenix asked in surprise when it saw the others and the beast disappeared in front of it.
“Bring us out!” Leng Ruoxue instructed, not answering the Fire Phoenix’s question.
“Yes!” The Fire Phoenix indicated for Leng Ruoxue and the other two beasts to sit on its back. Then, it flapped its wings and flew high up, leaving the cave. However, its heart was constantly thinking about the whereabouts of those people and beasts that had disappeared.
After flying to a safe place, the Fire Phoenix descended while Leng Ruoxue and the others immediately jumped off its back. After that, she moved Grandfather and the others out from the bracelet…
When the Fire Phoenix saw all of this, its face was filled with disbelief. However, it did not ask anything else. However, it could not help but think in its heart, Uh! It seemed that this human had many secrets!
“Xue’er, where is this place?” Leng Qingtian looked at the bare hill in front of him and asked in confusion. Was this still the Fiery Mountain? It didn’t seem as hot as before.
“This is the place?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the scenery in front of her and shook her head. She didn’t know where they were either. At this moment, they were on a hill and there were roads on both sides. She didn’t know where they led to.
“Miss, this should be the southernmost area of Fiery Mountain. This place is already very far from the center of the Fiery Mountain, so it’s not that hot anymore.” The male fire fox carefully observed the terrain, then opened his mouth to speak. Those pink eyes were filled with admiration for Leng Ruoxue. That was because it never thought that this human woman would actually have such a beautiful space even in its dreams. The spirit qi inside was simply not something any place in the Vast Heaven Continent could compare to. And this made it even more determined. It wanted to follow their determination.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Before she could figure out which direction to go, she saw a group of people coming from the left.
There were about thirty people in this group. The one leading them was a middle-aged man with ordinary facial features and a pair of extremely bright eyes. He gave off an extraordinary presence and possessed the strength of a Mystic Sovereign. Not only that, most of these people were actually Mystic Sovereign. Only a small portion were Mystic Monarchs.
“Are you also here to look for the fire ginseng?” After seeing Leng Ruoxue and the others, the middle-aged man in the lead asked enthusiastically.
“That’s right!” Leng Ruoxue’s gaze collided with the freak’s.. After that, she faintly replied, even though she had no idea where the Fire Ginseng was!
