Chapter 95: Douluo's First Burrow.
Xiao Fei and his seven companions didn't linger in Hanhai City, but headed directly for Suoto City. This time, Xiao Fei and his companions didn't take a carriage or use their family's transportation; they simply ran towards Suoto City.
For high-level spirit masters, their running speed far surpasses that of horses or other means of transportation. For some high-level spirit masters of speed or flight, traveling a thousand miles a day is no problem.
Xiao Fei and his companions were all high-level spirit masters, at least Soul Sages, and possessed exceptionally formidable physical qualities. Continuous travel was no problem for them.
After traveling day and night for about four days, Xiao Fei and his companions arrived at their destination: the Flame Bird's Lair.
Entering the Flame Bird's Lair and driving away a thousand-year-old spirit beast, they surveyed their surroundings, finding no other changes.
Xiao Fei recounted how, at the age of eleven, he had lived in the Flame Bird's Lair for almost a year. Everyone was astonished: Living alone in a spirit beast's lair at just eleven was truly a pervert.
Feng Xiaotian flew around quickly, carefully taking in the surroundings. "I've observed this area carefully, and it doesn't look like there's a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
Xiao Fei shook his head. "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast isn't in the Fire Maple Forest. It should be inside the volcano."
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu finally realized, "Isn't this where we obtained our fourth soul ring, the Earth Fire Lizard?"
"Yes, it's right here. When I obtained the soul ring, I felt an astonishing aura coming from beneath the volcano. It was only for a moment, but I'm certain there's a very powerful fire soul beast hiding beneath the volcano."
Xiao Fei and the other seven planned to rest for the night near the Flame Bird's nest and search for the hundred-thousand-year soul beast tomorrow. The seven of them gathered together to eat, and Xiao Fei prepared to rest up, but everyone seemed very interested in Xiao Fei's past, especially his year inside the Flame Bird's nest.
Xiao Fei didn't want to pay attention at first, but he couldn't stand the curious and expectant expressions of Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, so he had to tell them some interesting stories about his life in Notting College and the Flame Bird's Nest. As he talked, the two girls seemed to be more and more fascinated. Xiao Fei had no choice but to continue talking until midnight, and then they reluctantly dispersed to rest.
The next morning, the seven of them set out from the Flame Bird's Nest and quickly climbed up to the crater.
When they arrived at the crater, it was still the same spectacular scene they had seen before. In the center of the volcano was boiling magma, and there were small holes, some of which were even smaller than a person's thigh.
Xiao Fei and Huo Wu turned their heads to look at Huo Wushuang, and the other four were a little surprised. Why look for Huo Wushuang at this time? Shouldn't Xiao Fei use his mental power to explore directly?
Huo Wushuang had no choice but to explain the purpose of his head spirit bone. The four people were amazed after hearing his explanation: Huo Wushuang, a spirit master with the Fiery Dragon spirit, actually possessed a spirit bone that could detect things. The world is truly full of wonders. They should be careful when encountering Huo Wushuang in the future and not let him detect their privacy.
Seeing the four people's expressions change from curiosity to caution, and finally to a bit of defensiveness, Huo Wushuang was speechless.
Next was Huo Wushuang's job. Huo Wushuang repeatedly launched spirit bone skills at the ground, carefully experiencing the effects of the spirit bone attacks.
After the tidal body training, Huo Wushuang's mental power had greatly increased. Now that Huo Wushuang was a Soul Douluo, his detection range had exceeded 3,000 meters. This was not just a mental perception, but a real detection, with a more precise effect, and better than some Spirit-type Titled Douluo.
Huo Wushuang explored for a long time but seemed to find nothing. He said, "There shouldn't be any large holes within three kilometers of the ground. However, the small holes these Earth Fire Lizards use to enter and exit seem to gradually converge underground, extending over three kilometers and even showing a significant curve."
Xiao Fei pondered this and said, "Yes, it must be inside their lair. Have you noticed? The Earth Fire Lizards never leave the crater, so where does their water come from? So there must be a lair underground, or even a hidden river. We just need to keep digging along these holes, and we'll definitely find it."
At this point, Xiao Fei turned to look at Niu Meng, and the others followed suit. This frustrated Niu Meng, who then said, "Although we, the Yu clan, are good at construction, that's only for building houses. We're not good at digging holes or tunnels."
Xiao Fei was speechless. What a waste of such a great talent for construction! If they had used it for tunneling and tomb robbing, simply digging up some underground mineral veins or Titled Douluo tombs, the Yu clan would have long since become the richest Douluo clan.
Xiao Fei looked around at everyone; none seemed to have a natural talent for digging holes. He resorted to using his External Soul Bone to begin digging.
Everyone looked at Xiao Fei's External Soul Bone and grumbled again, "Such a powerful External Soul Bone, and you're using it to dig holes? What a waste!"
Xiao Fei dug swiftly, proving himself the ultimate hole-digger on the Douluo Continent. Who could dig faster than a 60,000-year-old External Soul Bone? Niu Meng finally put his expertise to use for the first time, diligently reinforcing the walls of the cave to prevent collapse, a true testament to his Earth and Wood (Xū Earth) Element.
Huo Wushuang continued his exploration. Feng Xiaotian was in charge of perimeter wind and security, preventing any unexpected incidents and also handling any excess dirt and rock. Yang Pojun dealt with any unexpected spirit beasts, either killing them or knocking them unconscious and throwing them away.
The two girls chatted idly, seemingly still discussing Xiao Fei, and laughter could be heard.
Xiao Fei dug vertically for a long distance. As he dug, the Earth Fire Element's hole unexpectedly became horizontal, and eventually curved upwards and downwards, leaving Xiao Fei speechless. The hole was so horizontal!
Suddenly, Huo Wushuang said sternly, "Stop, stop!" Xiao Fei and Niu Meng immediately stopped, their movements in their hands.
Seeing Huo Wushuang's serious expression, they knew they were nearing their destination.
Huo Wushuang said, "About three kilometers ahead, there's a large cavity. It exudes a very powerful aura, like a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast."
Xiao Fei thought for a moment and told Huo Wushuang to stop probing to avoid alerting the enemy. Then, he quietly continued digging forward, activating his head spirit bone to prevent anyone or any other creature from detecting Xiao Fei.
As Xiao Fei and the others cautiously advanced, a faint flame began to appear ahead. Feng Xiaotian, Yang Pojun, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er also stopped their work and solemnly followed Xiao Fei. It was clear that the final battle was about to begin.
They held their breath and quietly advanced towards the flame.
