Blood Flame Mountain was right next to the Phoenix Spirit Valley, but the distance between the two was more than ten miles. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"
When Tang Huan arrived at the foot of the b.l.o.o.d.y Flame Mountain, he discovered that the liveliness there had far exceeded his expectations. Within the enormous mountain, where not a single blade of gra.s.s was growing, figures could be seen flas.h.i.+ng about from time to time.
Inside the mountain, not only was it steaming, it was also blood-red in color. It was as if the entire mountain had been dyed red with blood.
However, what was strange was that although the mountain was hot, the heat didn"t spread out.
It was as if all the heat had been sucked into the range of the peak, and only by stepping onto the peak could one feel the heat.
For the time being, the temperature of the area at the foot of the mountain could not be considered a threat to the Weapon Refiner.
Tang Huan"s footsteps were light as he continued to climb.
In just a short hundred meters, Tang Huan had encountered three sets of Martial Warriors s dripping with sweat. In such an environment, for Gu Fei to still be able to find a Phoenix feather, his luck was heaven defying.
Since there was one phoenix feather, there had to be two or three.
According to legend, this Feng Ming Mountain was the resting place of the Ancient Spiritual Beast Phoenix. The feathers that fell from its body were immortal and would not disappear even if they were buried in the ground for thousands or tens of thousands of years. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
It was a pity that the Spiritual Beast Phoenix had long disappeared from this world, and no one knew where it had gone to.
As for the "Flamewing Phoenix King", it was actually not a real Phoenix. According to what Shan Shan had revealed, she was initially just a statue by the door of Feng Ming"s Phoenix-Nest. In the end, that Demon Lord Fen Tian somehow resurrected her and from then on, she was one of the eight great Demon King.
"Little brother, please wait!"
A loud shout came out, startling Tang Huan out of his deep thoughts.
Looking towards the source of the voice, Tang Huan saw that three figures had appeared within his line of sight. One of them was in his thirties, dressed in green, with a short stature and a rather simple and honest face, while the other two looked to be in their twenties. One of them had a scar on his face, which looked like it had just been added, and the other looked rather weak.
"What can I do for you three?" Tang Huan swept his gaze across the three of them and smiled.
"Is little brother Stage Five Martial Master?" The light robed man looked at Tang Huan with s.h.i.+ning eyes and asked instead of answering.
"No, I am just a Stage Four Martial Master."
"Level 4 …." Stage Four Martial Master was almost done.
The light robed man was a little hesitant at first, but then he asked, "Is little brother Weapon Refiner?"
While speaking, his gaze landed on the Fire Red Long Spear behind Tang Huan, the other two also looked at Tang Huan with antic.i.p.ation. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"
"That"s right, I am a low level Weapon Refiner."
Tang Huan laughed, he had already noticed the gaze of the azure-dressed man.
After separating with Gu Ying and Gu Fei, he no longer wrapped himself with the Crimson Flame Spear. The spear constantly emitted a distinct warmth, and indeed, it was easy to a.s.sociate it with the Weapon Refiner.
Of course, not all of those who carried such weapons with them were Weapon Refiner. There was also the possibility that they were Martial Warriors who had cultivated fire-type battle skills.
"Great."
When the three of them heard this, their faces lit up with joy.
Immediately after, the green clothed man looked around quickly and smiled mysteriously: "Little brother, I am Hong Qiang. These two are my friends Yuan Xiang and Wu Hui, we have found a very secretive tunnel at the end of Blood Flame Mountain. At the end of the tunnel, there are extremely valuable treasures, but it"s too hot inside, so the three of us can"t get near it.
"Little brother, after obtaining the treasures, the two of us … How about 50% each? " After he finished speaking, the man dressed in green, named Hong Li, had a pained expression on his face.
"Oh? What treasure is this? " Tang Huan"s eyes flashed, filled with interest.
"This..." Hong Qiang hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, "Two phoenix feathers and four phoenix stones!"
"What?" Tang Huan was shocked.
"Shh!" "Shh!" Hong Qiang made a small gesture, "Are you interested in this little brother?" Although it is only a middle-ranked gem, the weapons it forges are definitely the most suitable for Weapon Refiner to use out of all the weapons. Every single one of them is priceless, and the phoenix feather is even more precious than the phoenix stone.
"Of course I"m interested. Where is the pa.s.sageway? Let"s go."
Tang Huan also lowered his voice, but he was still unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes at all.
"Alright, alright, we"ll go right away. What"s your name, little brother?"
"You can just call me Ye Ze. Brother Hong, are you Stage Four Martial Master or Stage Five Martial Master?"
"The three of us are just like you, we are all just Stage Four Martial Master!"
"..."
With Hong Li leading the way ahead, Yuan Xiang and Wu Hui following behind, Tang Huan walking in the middle, the four of them moving forward in the mountain with huge rocks covering the ground.
Looking at Hong Li"s figure, the excitement on Tang Huan"s face gradually faded, but what replaced it was a smile that was not a smile.
Along the way, he was very careful and no one said a word.
Unknowingly, the four of them had already traveled two to three hundred meters within the peak. The heat gradually rose, and it was now almost twice as high as at the foot of the mountain.
Hong Qiang, Yuan Xiang and Wu Hui were already sweating profusely, while Tang Huan"s condition was much better. Only, fine beads of sweat had started to seep out from his forehead.
"As expected of a Weapon Refiner who has fused with the True Fire, she is even more resistant to heat than us ordinary Martial Warriors." In front of a pile of strange, blood-red boulders, Hong Li stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Tang Huan, and said with some envy.
"I"m about to reach my limit too."
Tang Huan laughed, his eyes quickly sweeping around as he said, "Brother Hong, are we there?" This area that was filled with strange rocks had a circ.u.mference of several hundred meters. Between the rocks, there were indeed countless holes of varying sizes. However, it was unknown which pa.s.sage they were talking about.
"We"re here, this is the place."
Hong Qiang was the first to enter the two-meter-tall cave. After entering for just a few meters, he stopped again and pulled out a huge stone slab from the wall that was also made of many stones. A bright red hole immediately appeared, and an even more intense heat surged out of the cave.
"Brother Ye Ze, please look!"
Hong Jin indicated towards Tang Huan.
Tang Huan could not resist the heat wave and arrived at the cave entrance. Looking inside, it was indeed a circular, arched shaped, blood-red tunnel. The surroundings were all stone, as if the tunnel was dug out from inside an enormous boulder.
"Brother Hong, that Phoenix Feather and Phoenix Stone are …"
Tang Huan turned his head to ask subconsciously. Before he could finish speaking, his line of sight was filled with two rays of pitch black light and a bright golden light, which were actually two long rods and a heavy blade carrying a powerful Strength Qi that was about to cut down on him. Behind the blade-like figure, three sinister faces could faintly be seen.
