Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 563 - Go To Volcano
"Now. I want you to tell me what is the Fire Beast you talked about earlier?" As if he had not noticed the shocked expression still directed at him, Zhang En asked about the Fire Beast which had a beast core and a good thing that could increase the clarity of one's soul.
When the four of them heard Zhang En ask about the fire demon beast, they revealed everything they knew, not daring to hide anything.
As it turned out, the four of them heard about the Fire Beast from a certain clan disciple in the Volcano Cloud Mountain. Somewhere in the World of Death, inside a cave, was said to be a living Fire Beast. The strength of the Fire Beast was said to be around the middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm to the late stage. That Divine Realm demon beast also possessed intelligence and could speak like a Phoenix Clan that could speak like a human and had intelligence.
"Mount of Volcanic Clouds." Zhang En repeated to himself.
This mountain was one of the dangerous areas in the World of Death, a place where fire element demon beasts ruled, not far after crossing the River God Tomb.
...
Next day.
When the morning sun had risen, Zhang En and Lang Song's group set off, leaving the forest and arriving on the banks of the River Grave of Gods.
Although the day was already bright and the tomb poison released by the river was much weaker than at night, Zhang En, Lang Song Long, said, and the other three people did not dare to let go of their vigilance carelessly. Lang Song's group wore the special iron armor they had prepared beforehand, to protect their bodies, whereas Zhang En formed a barrier around him with his fire power.
Flying over the river, Zhang En looked down at the seemingly calm river surface below. Occasionally, streams of faint red energy were seen floating into the air. This stream of faint red energy had an extremely high temperature. To test it, Zhang En threw the spirit stone into the river.
As the spirit stone came into contact with the flow of red energy below, it evaporated into a collection of spiritual energy.
Although the hardness of that spirit stone could not compare to a god-level spirit stone, its hardness was no less than ten thousand years old iron. However, it evaporated in an instant.
Lang Song's group inhaled a breath of cold air witnessing this result. Each of them increased their alertness.
Halfway across the river, Zhang En suddenly heard a soft grinding sound near his body. Checking his surroundings, he saw a swarm of fiery red insects as big as an adult's thumb fall into the river from the air.
Each of the fiery red insects has sharp fangs and has characteristics of an ugly shape. Finding this swarm of insects, they all tensed up a little, immediately realizing that this was a fire maggot that could slip into one's bloodstream without any signs, sucking up blood essence, bone marrow, etc, and the souls of their victims.
Zhang En even broke out in cold sweat without the four people noticing it.
Not long after, they were attacked by another swarm of fire maggots.
Before entering the World of Death, the armor that Lang Song's group had prepared was specifically used to deal with these fire maggots. Thus, despite the successive attacks from the fire maggots, their group of four were not in danger.
An hour later, the five of them crossed the terrifying God Tomb River without any accidents.
Reaching the other side of the river, a clear relief was seen on the faces of Lang Song and the other three people as they wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads. Not wanting to stay near the river any longer, they all quickly left, flying towards the Volcano Cloud Mountain.
As they flew closer to the Volcano Cloud Mountain, the number of fire element demon beasts they encountered was increasing in number. Once or twice, the group was attacked by a demon beast of the realm of the Heavenly God Realm, but only possessed the strength of the early stage Heavenly God Realm. Zhang En did not even need to intervene, all attacks were easily dealt with by Lang Song.
Another hour passed when Zhang En stopped in front of an enormous mountain.
This huge mountain had many fire clouds floating around it starting from a height. Therefore, the Mountain was called the Volcano Cloud Mountain. Even from where they were, endless roars of demonic beasts could be heard.
"Master, we don't know the exact location of that Fire Beast cave, finding it in this situation would be very troublesome." Lang Song spoke respectfully to Zhang En.
Zhang En nodded in return. It was quite troublesome indeed in their current state.
The area of the Volcano Cloud Mountain was too large, and who knew how high the peak was, combing such a large area would take several days. Furthermore, if they were to warn all the demonic beasts living in this Mountain area, triggering their fury, any confidence Zhang En had with his own strength, would be, it undeniably also gave him a headache if facing the fire element demon beasts in the area at once.
Although they did not know how many demonic beasts lived there, they estimated the number of demonic beasts in the area might be around ten thousand. Demon beasts that were able to win territory for themselves here in the Volcano Cloud Mountain, their strength would not be inferior to the Heavenly God Realm.
With the majority of these demon beasts possessing the strength of the Heavenly God Realm level up, there might as well be a High Level Heavenly God Realm demon beast or even the Golden Realm among them.
An idea flashed across Zhang En's mind and his eyes became bright. They might not know where the Fire Beast cave was, but the demonic beasts living here in the Volcano Cloud Mountain might know something. Zhang En could capture some of these demonic beasts and explore their souls, perhaps he could learn some useful information.
Pondering over that for a moment, Zhang En did not order Lang Song's group to enter the mountain area. Instead, he told them to stay where they were and wait for him. Among the four, two of them possessed the cultivation realms of the Three Star Ancestral God Realm, far weaker than one might imagine, and Zhang En might not be able to maintain their safety in case of an accident to them.
On Zhang En's orders, the four of them did not dare to voice any objections. Therefore, they obediently waited for Zhang En at the outer part of the Volcano of Volcanoes under the foot of the mountain.
