"Phew, phew ~"
From the mountain, a stream of dark flames burst out from the ground. Like a black dragon of fire, the flames enveloped a large area. The heat spread out and even the air was curling up.
Lu Li and Mu Yingying were coming this way. But Lu Li seemed to have foreseen this. He took Mu Yingying's arm and flew to the left with her.
Mu Yingying cooperated with Lu Li and flew up with him. The two of them glided in an arc and flew past the fire dragon like a couple in heaven.
Mu Yingying's cheeks were no longer blushing. That being said, every time Lu Li took her hand, she would have a different feeling. She was not in the mood to observe the surroundings. She just followed Lu Li blindly.
The temperature of the Flying Volcano was extremely high, especially when one passed by the flames. The temperature was even higher.
But Mu Yingying seemed to have some treasures that could protect her from fire. She did not sweat.
Lu Li did not have such treasures. He was strong, but he was sweating as well.
"Sacred Pattern ~"
Dozens of thousands of miles later, Lu Li could feel the presence of Sacred Patterns. In front of them was a mountain. Lu Li could faintly see Sacred Patterns on the ground and on the rocks.
Those Sacred Patterns must have been there for a long time. They were intermittent and incomplete. Lu Li wondered if they had any special functions.
"Buzzing ~"
After a red glare, Blood Fairy came out. Mu Yingying checked with psychic power. She was surprised. She could not help but ask, "Young Master Lu, what is that?"
"A goblin. It can be used to check Sacred Patterns!"
Lu Li gave her a simple explanation. Blood Fairy circled around and said to Lu Li, "Master, there is a dojo of Sacred Patterns here. But it has been damaged. It is better not to touch certain places or it will be troublesome. Come with me."
"I will take you with me!"
Lu Li looked at Mu Yingying and took her hand again. Together, they flew forward.
Blood Fairy was moving quickly underground. Lu Li followed her.
"Well ~"
There were Divine Glyphs everywhere, but Lu Li was flying forward with her. He didn't touch any Divine Glyphs along the way, which shocked Mu Yingying even more.
There were a lot of Divine Inscriptions in the vicinity. Although they were damaged, if one were to accidentally touch them, it would be very troublesome. The Divine Inscriptions here were famous for being terrifying. How many cultivators had died here?
"Skeleton?"
Mu Yingying suddenly exclaimed in shock. In front of her, she saw some skeletons that had been shattered into pieces. Most probably, they were killed by the Divine Inscriptions Dojo.
Lu Li remained calm. Instead, he put on a gentle smile and said, "It's okay. I will take you with me. Nothing will go wrong."
Lu Li walked on with Mu Yingying. Mu Yingying's heart warmed up. She was in a trance. How she wished they could go on like this and walk to the end of the world with this man holding her hand.
"Xiu!"
Lu Li moved like a ghost. He did not stop at all. He trusted Blood Fairy completely. As long as she did not stop, he would not stop.
There were more and more skeletons along the way. They were either chopped off or crushed in some places. Clearly, they had died a miserable death.
The Divine Glyphs here were horrifying. Lu Li could feel it as well. There were more and more Divine Glyphs nearby. Many ordinary-looking rocks were filled with Divine Glyphs.
"Master!"
Thousands of miles later, Blood Fairy suddenly stopped and said, "There are monsters up ahead. They are hiding in the rocks. They are small. Should we go away?"
"A demon has appeared?"
Lu Li was curious. He waved his hand and told Blood Fairy to keep moving forward.
He wanted to go through the volcanoes. Sooner or later, he would have to face the demons and beasts. As such, he could not run away now. He must figure out the characteristics of the beasts in case he was caught unprepared.
"There are demons and beasts!"
Lu Li said to Mu Yingying. She came back to her senses. Her eyes became clear again. She looked a bit shy. In such a dangerous place … she could not believe that she was distracted.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The rocks in front of them cracked. Following that, many small beasts flew out.
Those beasts were only the size of human heads. They were ugly, like insects with many spikes. Their mouths were big, their bodies were red, and they had more than a dozen feet.
"Croak, croak ~"
While making strange noises, the beasts dashed toward Lu Li and Lu Li at a fast speed. Lu Li took out the Phantom King from the Wicked Bead and dashed toward the beasts.
"That is the Phantom King?"
Mu Yingying's eyes glowed. The Phantom King was famous. When the Phantom King came out, it was so fast that Mu Yingying believed it deserved its reputation.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
The Phantom King rushed over and swung its claws, tearing apart one monster after another. The monsters spat out flames from their mouths, and many of the scales on the Phantom King's body were destroyed. Many parts of the Phantom King's body were burned.
"The flames from those beasts are strong."
Lu Li said with a frown. Mu Yingying explained, "Those are Fire Spur Worms. They are not only found in the Flying Volcano, but also in some places at the Devil Sea. They are common in the Third Heaven.
They are strong. If you are not a fourth tribulation warrior, you will be in big trouble. "
Lu Li could tell that the Fire Spur Worms were slow. A fourth tribulation warrior could dodge them easily, but a third tribulation warrior would be in big trouble.
The Phantom King dashed around and tore apart the Fire Spur Worms one by one. By the time dozens of Fire Spur Worms were killed, the Phantom King was left with many burns. Though they were not fatal, the Phantom King was suffering.
Lu Li put the Spectre Lord into a hall in the Wicked Bead at once. The mountain was given to Mu Yingying and Lu Li's belongings were all put into the Wicked Bead. The Nether Springs were moved there as well.
"Your interspatial artifact is not of a good level."
Mu Yingying threw a glance to Lu Li's Wicked Bead. Since Lu Li had the Godspeed Boat, why would he use such a low-level interspatial artifact?
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "I have a good interspatial artifact. But you can have it."
"The Nine Strange Mountain?"
Mu Yingying came back to her senses. She felt embarrassed. The Nine Strange Mountain was a good interspatial artifact.
She thought for a moment. The red bead in her hand glowed as she went in. A moment later, she came out and handed the bead to Lu Li. "This bead is called the Heaven Separation Bead. It is an advanced interspatial artifact. Young Master Lu, you gave it to us at the Nine Strange Mountain. Consider this a gift from the Mu Family."
"Eh ~"
Lu Li went into the interspatial artifact. It was a good one, much better than the Wicked Bead. The space inside was larger as well.
