Chapter 101 Fire Cloud Forest
Zhang Xiaohou squatted in front of the crevice, staring intently at the lava. Suddenly, he saw a shadow, alternating between light and dark, appear on the brightly lit rock wall. Fearing it was an illusion, Zhang Xiaohou rubbed his eyes. Seeing the shadow still persisted, a hint of excitement crossed his face, and he shouted.
"Brother Fan, there's a shadow!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaohou's shout, Mo Fan and Lingling shifted their gaze from the lava to the rock wall, a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying, who were sitting nearby, also ran over.
"What are you looking at? You think I was swallowed by magma?"
Ye Feiyang walked out from the gap and saw the excitement and surprise that were hard to conceal on the faces of Mo Fan and the others, and chuckled.
"That's right. When we saw magma suddenly seeping out of the crack and you were nowhere to be seen, we were all worried to death."
Mo Fan said with a smile.
"Now the gap is blocked. What should we do now?"
The surprise and excitement on Lingling's face disappeared, she looked at Ye Feiyang and asked.
"Let's wait here for a while. The magma from above was pouring back into the crack just now. Once the magma in the cave slowly recedes, we should be able to go in without any problems."
Ye Feiyang lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.
Hearing Ye Feiyang's words, Lingling nodded.
A hint of relief appeared on Chen Ying's originally nervous face.
Everyone sat in front of the crevice, waiting for the magma in the crevice to recede.
"I see that all the magma in the crack has disappeared. Is it possible to go in now?"
Zhao Manyan said impatiently.
"Wait a little longer."
Ye Feiyang shook his head and looked into the distance, thinking to himself.
"According to the time, they should be around here too."
Hearing this, Zhao Manyan sat down again and waited.
After a while.
"Someone's coming."
Lingling walked to Ye Feiyang, pointed into the distance, and spoke softly.
Ye Feiyang heard this and looked in the direction Lingling pointed. He saw a group of people walking towards him, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He murmured.
"It's finally here."
As time passed, Mo Fan and his companions also discovered it.
"Feiyang, someone is coming. Why don't we go in first, otherwise they will get the upper hand."
Mo Fan said to Ye Feiyang in a deep voice.
"Let's go."
Ye Feiyang nodded.
He knew that the person behind him was Chen Ying's father and Zhao Manyan's uncle, but it would be better for Chen Ying and Zhao Manyan to find out for themselves instead of him saying it, otherwise it would seem too deliberate.
Seeing Ye Feiyang nod, Zhang Xiaohou, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan happily ran towards the gap.
"These three guys have been unable to hold back any longer, just waiting for you to say this."
Chen Ying said slowly.
"Three Money-Lovers"
Ye Feiyang looked at the backs of the three people and shook his head helplessly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to what expressions Mo Fan and the other two would have when they rushed in and saw the large and small holes on the rock wall.
Soon, Zhao Manyan's angry roar was heard from inside.
"Who the hell is this demon? He took away all the good stuff without leaving anything behind!"
Zhao Manyan looked at the large and small holes on the rock wall and felt like crying but had no tears.
"Let's go quickly. Think about the Fire Tribulation Fruit above. These are just petty gains."
Mo Fan patted Zhao Manyan and spoke in a comforting tone.
"Yes, there is also the Fire Tribulation Fruit. Let's go up quickly. We can't let the people behind us get up before us."
Zhao Manyan nodded vigorously and then walked up with vigor.
Without the lava, the group's journey upwards was smooth, and they encountered no demons blocking their way.
After reaching the top of Huozhu Mountain, what you see is a dense forest.
"This is the Fire Cloud Forest. My mother told me that the Fire Tribulation Fruit grows in this forest."
Chen Ying began to explain.
The leaves of the Fire Cloud Tree loved the harsh sun, absorbing the heat from the air and transforming it into nutrients for the entire tree. Each leaf had a limited amount of sunlight and heat to absorb, and after approximately seven days, its lifespan would end, with new Fire Cloud leaves replacing it. The fallen Fire Cloud leaves formed a red carpet, welcoming Ye Feiyang and his companions.
"The trees in this Fire Cloud Forest are too dense, and there must be many demons in it. Mo Fan, summon the Swift Star Wolf and have him carry Lingling on his back. This way we can move faster."
Ye Feiyang looked at Mo Fan and spoke.
"good."
Mo Fan nodded, summoned the dimensional summoning gate, and summoned the Swift Star Wolf.
Lingling wasn't afraid of the tall and mighty Swift Star Wolf at all, but rather felt eager to try.
The group walked towards the interior of the Fire Cloud Forest.
"Cousin Chenying, has your mother told you anything else about the Fire Tribulation Fruit? Let's keep going inside. I have a bad feeling in my heart."
After walking for a while, Zhao Manyan came to Chen Ying, tugged at his clothes, and asked.
"I have a feeling that the Fire Tribulation Fruit shouldn't be in the depths of the Fire Cloud Forest."
Mo Fan nodded.
"That's all the information my mother told me."
Chen Ying shook her head.
"Don't go yet. It seems like we're just going around in circles. We're back to where it all started."
Ye Feiyang reached out and touched the trunk of the Fire Cloud Tree beside him, which was marked with the space mark he left when he set out. He said in a deep voice.
"Manyan and Yingying, why are these two little brats here?!"
A surprised voice came from a distance.
Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying were startled when they heard the voice. Zhao Manyan turned around and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back into a braid. A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"Uncle, you probably came here for the Fire Tribulation Fruit."
Zhao Manyan walked over with a smile.
Chen Ying, on the other hand, saw a complex expression in the middle-aged man's eyes. However, his gaze was quickly drawn to someone in the group. He smiled faintly and walked over.
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou looked at each other, then turned their gaze towards Ye Feiyang.
Ye Feiyang felt the inquiring gazes of Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou and shook his head calmly.
"Why do you little brats also want the Fire Tribulation Fruit?"
Hearing Zhao Manyan's words, Zhao Manyan's uncle Zhao Yulin raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Yeah. But we got lost and somehow ended up back here."
Zhao Manyan nodded. Then a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he said with disappointment.
"What nonsense! How dare you little brats trespass into the Fire Cloud Forest? But judging by your appearance, you probably didn't encounter any Fire Skylarks. You're pretty lucky."
Zhao Yulin snorted coldly.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Chen Ying walked to Zhao Yulin's team and looked at a man wrapped in white cloth who was being carried by two people, and said in disbelief.
The man in white cloth nodded at Chen Ying without saying anything.
