Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 208 Lava
Gu Jingnian didn't remember when he fainted. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a group of dusty people in front of him.

He knew all these people.

Ren Shuangfei, Meng Shaoweng, Hu Jingnan... were all people who appeared at the banquet that night, but Mi Sheng and Guan Tianze were not seen.

In addition, Long Minzhi, Yin Kuo, Yin Shu, Jian Li and other people who had a grudge against Gu Jingnian were not seen either. They must have covered their faces or changed their appearance and hid among the subordinates in the back.

Gu Jingnian quickly came to his senses, pretending not to know Ren Shuangfei and the others, and only looked at Qu Jizhi.

He probably guessed that he had escaped the spies sent by Qu Jizhi, so these people followed him in person.

It’s really haunting.

"Mr. Qu, why are you here?" Gu Jingnian asked in surprise, "And what about that monster just now?"

"That's a foreigner who entered Zhongzhou from Yihai." Qu Jizhi answered, looked around at everyone, and said, "You've seen its strength. If more foreigners come, it may cause a disaster to Zhongzhou. Therefore, the masters of several countries put aside their past grudges and joined forces to eliminate it."

"I see."

Gu Jingnian had already found out their purpose in disguise, so he did not expose it now. He was just a little surprised that Qu Jizhi could tell a lie so righteously.

In the past, Qu Jizhi was a gentleman, but now it seems that he is just a hypocrite.

"Thank you, Lord Qu, for saving my life." Gu Jingnian cooperated with the performance and said, "I came here on the orders of His Highness to investigate the causes of the land subsidence and drought. Now that I have made some progress, I will go back and report to His Highness."

After saying that, he planned to leave.

Qu Jizhi said: "Chengye Hou is very powerful, how about giving us a helping hand?"

"I have companions, but they are lost."

"The road ahead is dangerous and difficult for ordinary people to enter. It is better for us to go together."

Ren Shuangfei didn't have the patience to say more, he stepped forward and patted Gu Jingnian on the shoulder, saying: "Not bad, it's better to act with masters like us."

This may seem like an invitation, but in fact it is a compulsion.

Gu Jingnian knew that he could not defeat them, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's get rid of that monster together."

"Marquis Chengye is straightforward."

"By the way, what about the monster?"

"It was surrounded by us and ran away."

"Where did you run to?"

"I don't know." Ren Shuangfei asked with a smile, "What about you? How did you find the monster?"

"I was just walking around randomly." Gu Jingnian asked, "What about you guys?"

He vaguely guessed that they had actually been following him secretly, which was why they took action when he was almost killed.

Ren Shuangfei replied: "I can sense the strength of fire. I go to the place where I sense the strongest and I will find it."

"Sir, may I know your name?"

They introduced themselves to each other and exchanged pleasantries, as if they were truly companions ready to kill monsters side by side.

Afterwards, Gu Jingnian's eyes fell on the guqin that Hu Jingnan was holding, and he said, "My dear girl, you saved me with the sound of the guqin?"

"I don't deserve it. I just gave a little help."

Gu Jingnian didn't know much about Yan State, so he chatted with Hu Jingnan for a while.

Among the subordinates in the back, there was a man wearing a cloak and covering his face with a scarf. He was staring at Gu Jingnian with a complicated look. It was Yin Shu.

She couldn't help but take a step forward, but Yin Kuo held her shoulders.

"Don't worry."

Yin Shu snorted coldly.

Yin Kuo then turned around and walked to the back of the crowd, where there was a flying cart loaded with supplies, with a thin boy who looked extremely weak leaning inside the cart.

Yin Kuo pulled the young man's hand, took out a dagger, cut his wrist, lowered his head, sucked his blood, and after a long time, he sighed comfortably.

The strange thing is that during the process, the young man not only did not resist, but did not even make a sound.

Instead, a chubby fat man came over, took out a red pill and stuffed it into the weak boy's mouth.

"Although the pig man can heal himself, he will die if his blood runs out. Please don't consume too much energy."

"I know."

In this situation where he needed to hide his identity, Yin Kuo was still unwilling to give up his arrogant self-proclaimed identity.

The weak young man curled up in the flying car chewed the red pill in his mouth. After the people around him left, he reluctantly sat up and looked at Gu Jingnian in the distance.

His eyes were also complicated, but unlike Yin Shu's, they were not filled with hatred. Instead, they were filled with curiosity and admiration.

--------

At dawn, the team set out.

Gu Jingnian originally thought that these people needed him to lead the way, but they didn't.

Ren Shuangfei took the initiative to walk in front and lead the way.

The strange thing is that the crowd did not take the flying car, but just walked, but the speed was very fast.

Whenever they encountered a deep ravine or cliff, they would just walk straight over it and even walk in the air, calmly reaching the other side.

Gu Jingnian was curious about how this was done, and when he looked around, he saw several figures sitting in meditation on the flying cars with their eyes closed and their hands slightly moving up and down. That was Yin's wind control skill that allowed the team to fly with the wind.

He already knew that Yin Shu was among those people, but he didn't expose it.

At this moment, what concerned him more was that a certain feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

That was the induction formed by the heart-to-heart connection between him, Ying Yao and Huang Hu. He could already clearly sense that they were nearby.

Gu Jingnian couldn't help but think that since Ren Shuangfei could find this place without a guide, all he needed to do was to lure Ying Yao out.

Rather than being passive, be proactive.

……

Everywhere was a blanket of rock ash. Looking around, there was a sense of despair that there was no other scenery to be seen.

Everyone was also worried that the ground beneath their feet was still the body of the lava man, and sometimes they would insert their weapons into the rock ash, but there would always be no response.

The sky and earth are getting hotter.

Someone in the team looked down and found that even though he didn't step on the ground, the soles of his shoes had been burned to the point of melting by the rock ash.

After walking for another half a day, some people began to faint.

Everyone is an extraordinary person, but still cannot bear this heat.

On the contrary, Qu Jizhi, an ordinary man, was obviously very haggard, but he was still trying his best to hold on, and he could hold on better than many extraordinary people.

Finally, Ren Shuangfei stopped.

"This area of 100 miles is the hottest place in Lianxi Mountain; and the 10 miles ahead is where I fought with the people from the realm."

Gu Jingnian's feeling became stronger and stronger. He looked around but didn't see anything special.

At this moment, behind him, Meng Shao Weng, who looked like a three-year-old child, had already raised his hand.

Meng Shaoweng has a young appearance, but his eyes are full of confidence and meaning, which makes him look a little weird.

After more than a hundred years of practice, he only needs one move to make Gu Jingnian unable to move.

Afterwards, he took out Gu Jingnian's heart and lured the phoenix to appear.

But at this moment, Gu Jingnian spoke.

"Mr. Qu."

Qu Jizhi turned around and asked, "Marquis Chengye, what do you think?"

Gu Jingnian said, "I can sense that a friend is nearby. Can I call her out first? It's to prevent her from getting hurt by mistake, but it would also be helpful to have an extra helper."

Qu Jizhi looked Gu Jingnian up and down, then looked at Ren Shuangfei.

Ren Shuangfei asked, "Where is your friend?"

"Let me look for it." Gu Jingnian said, "Is there any fire?"

Ren Shuangfei hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and a ball of fire enveloped Gu Jingnian out of thin air.

Gu Jingnian spread his flaming wings and continued to fly forward.

He is sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes leaning to the left, sometimes leaning to the right.

The strange thing was that the further he flew, the weaker he felt the sensation in his heart was becoming.

However, looking around, this place was just a wilderness, there was nothing special about it, there was no crater, and even the lava man was nowhere to be seen.

Looking back, Gu Jingnian realized that Yingyao might be underground, near where Ren Shuangfei and the others were.

There is no entrance.

This is actually a good thing for Gu Jingnian.

He continued to fly forward.

Ahead, there was a gray haze, with rock ash flying all over the sky like a thick fog.

In the gray fog, there is a mountain that rises from the ground and reaches the sky.

This mountain is magical. It is made of rock ash. It does not look like a mountain but like a long stick rising into the sky. The mountain walls are thousands of feet high and perpendicular to the ground. The top of the mountain is higher than the height he flies. Even when he looks up in the air, he cannot see the end of the mountain.

Gu Jingnian then landed at the foot of the mountain, thinking.

After a long time, Ren Shuangfei and others finally arrived.

"did you find it?"

Gu Jingnian raised his hand and pointed, saying, "She's up here."

"Up there?" Ren Shuangfei was a little surprised. He looked at the towering mountain in front of him again and murmured, "What is this?"

"Maybe this is the crater of a volcano." Gu Jingnian said, "and this is the magma that erupted at that time."

This was indeed the most crater-like place he could find.

"Go up and have a look."

"it is good."

In this way, those that cannot fly can only stay at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Jingnian flew towards the towering mountain first, while Ren Shuangfei stepped on the mountain wall that was perpendicular to the ground and flew upwards at an extremely fast speed.

They are getting higher and higher.

Suddenly, the whole mountain turned, and countless rock ashes fell off, revealing the hot, scorching red light inside.

Ren Shuangfei looked up, narrowed his eyes, and let out an angry roar.

"This is not a mountain! This is..."

The mountain was still turning, as if it was being pulled up, moving upwards little by little.

The earth began to shake again.

Only then did everyone see clearly that this was not a mountain, but a huge weapon.

"This is... a halberd!"

A giant hand descended from the sky and grasped the still shaking halberd that was as big as a mountain.

It was the huge lava man, standing at an arm's length away from it, and the rock ash all over the sky turned out to be the dust he stepped on when he came over.

This time, he drew his weapon and chopped it down with tremendous fury.

"boom!"

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the entire land was split apart.
