Chapter 96: The Volcanic Encounter, Feng Zhan VS Long Hao!

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the small cave, the entrance was very small, probably only one person could enter at a time. After two people entered from that entrance, the space inside suddenly became spacious.

  "Be careful, there are many poisonous insects here." Feng Zhan whispered to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow nodded, raised her eyes to carefully examine the environment in front of her. Although the light was very dim, it could still be seen clearly. The place closest to the entrance of the cave was quite dry. The entire cave was a dark red color, with volcanic ash covering the stone walls and ground, which had condensed into blocks over time.

  Two people cautiously walked inside, the further they went forward, the darker the light became. At this time, Feng Zhan lit a bundle of torches, illuminating the entire cave...

  "Ah!" Leng Ruoxue covered her mouth, vomiting nonstop, it was truly too disgusting. All she saw were spider-like red insects covering the mountain wall, densely packed, making her hair stand on end.

  "Charm." Leng Ruo Xue hastily released Charm and tightly hugged it in her arms.

  "Don't be afraid, master." Mei hastily comforted and released her own ice-elemental spiritual technique, freezing the entire mountain wall into a thin layer of ice. Instantly, the temperature of the volcano also dropped significantly.

  "Amethyst Eyed Snow Fox!" Feng Zhan looked at the small snow-white fox being tightly hugged by Leng Ruoxue with a hint of surprise, his heart feeling slightly off. He was also Master's beast, so why didn't Master hug him too?

  "Huo Feng!" She gazed at the beautiful purple eyes, sizing up Feng Zhan. Although their purple-iris snow foxes' status in the beast world was not as high as that of the Phoenix clan, however, if they were to really fight, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

  "Let's go inside!" Leng Ruoxue urged, ignoring the sparks that had flown between the two beasts.

  "Master, follow me closely." Feng Zhan shifted his gaze to Leng Ruoxue's body and said softly.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly and followed Feng Zhan's back, walking slowly.

  After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at the central area of the volcano.

  Lengruo Xue raised her eyes, looking at the scene in front of her with a surprised expression. It was really too magnificent! The fiery red magma flowed slowly on the mountain wall, finally gathering together and flowing into a naturally formed pool. The magma in the pool was like boiling water, constantly bubbling and churning!

  "Master, this is the center of the entire volcano. If there were no fire lotus here, then it would not exist." Feng Zhan explained that fire lotus all like to grow in places where the fire attribute is most intense.

  "Go ahead and search!" Cold-as-snow nodded and said, this area isn't small, hopefully we can find it.

  "Let's split up and search, Master, be careful." Feng Zhan said with some concern.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly and began searching around herself.

  "Be careful!" Suddenly, Feng Zhan's cry of alarm came from behind Leng Ruoxue.

  Her head turned back as cold as snow, only to see a creature with an all-red body and an ugly appearance rushing towards her. She was startled in her heart, and the charm in her arms had already flown to that monster...

  "Master, are you alright?!" Feng Zhan hastily walked to Leng Ruo Xue's side and asked with concern.

  "I'm fine." Lan Ruo Xue said calmly, she was just startled for a moment, after all, no woman would like such an ugly thing.

  "What is this thing?" Leng Ruoxue asked with some curiosity, the monster that was fighting with Mei had a head and tail that were exactly the same, making it impossible to distinguish between them. Its body was over ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket, its red skin was transparent, and the blood vessels inside could be faintly seen, along with the slow flow of ** within its body.

  "It's a Flame Wyrm, born from magma and feeds on it." Feng Zhan explained to Leng Ruoxue as he stared at the two beasts fighting, "This Flame Wyrm actually has the strength of a Holy Beast, it's truly unbelievable. You know, Flame Wyrms are usually very weak and have short lifespans, could it be that this one has undergone some kind of mutation?"

  "Are you sure?" Leng Ruoxue asked Feng Zhan with some doubt, "Can Huo Di Long's strength be this powerful?"

  "Hmm, it should have mutated, I'll go help that fox." Feng Zhan speculated, and immediately flew towards the Fire Land Dragon.

  "What are you doing here?" Mei asked with a hint of displeasure, while she was in the middle of fighting with Huo Di Long.

  "I'm here to help you! This is its territory, and even if your strength surpasses it, you won't be able to show off your advantage." Feng Zhan said with great kindness, while releasing his own Nanling Fire.

  "Stop arguing and let's settle this quickly!" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of helplessness.

  As soon as Leng Ruo Xue's words fell, a painful howl was heard, coming from the mouth of Huo Di Long. Flames erupted all over Huo Di Long's body...

  "Are you sure your fire is useful?" Mei asked on purpose, not wanting to see this man too pleased.

  "Of course, my flames aren't something that can devour just anything." Feng Zhansheng said confidently, although the Fire Earth Dragon was capable of consuming magma and could also eat flames.

  However, he soon became dumbfounded!

  "How...can this be?" Feng Zhan muttered in disbelief, he must have been seeing things, because the Fire Land Dragon that had undergone mutation was actually slowly retracting the flames burning on its body, and its strength had suddenly increased by several levels...

  "This Fire Land Dragon is quite strange." Mei also found it inconceivable, as the Fire Land Dragons she knew were not so abnormal. Moreover, Fire Land Dragons couldn't be considered spiritual beasts, even if they had reached the Holy Beast level, they still wouldn't have spiritual intelligence or be able to speak. But this Fire Land Dragon could actually swallow the Nanling Lihuo, which in itself was already abnormal.

  "Let me try." Leng Ruoxue said, directly releasing the Heavenly Spirit Technique 'Fire Phoenix Feather', this Fire Earth Dragon is not even afraid of Nan Linglihuo from the Feng Clan, I wonder if it's afraid of her divine fire?

  "Master's Flame..." Feng Zhanluo was deep in thought, gazing at the small, lovely feather. Although the entire feather appeared to be flame-red, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the center of the Flame Feather was a deep purple color, while the outer edges were golden, and its temperature was extremely high. Could this be the legendary...

  Just as Feng Zhan was thinking, the fiery red feathers had already begun to automatically disintegrate into countless pieces and wrapped themselves around the body of the Fire Earth Dragon. Suddenly, a painful howl could be heard, constantly coming from within the Fire Earth Dragon's body...

  I wonder if this Fire Dragon will also swallow her divine fire? Leng Ruo Xue couldn't help but think, she was really curious, and had even deliberately added her own innate divine fire to the 'Fire Phoenix Feather', don't let her down, Fire Dragon!

  Unfortunately, the Fire Dragon still disappointed Cold Snow, because in just over ten minutes, the Fire Dragon was burned to ashes by her divine fire.

  "Huh? What's this?" Cold-as-Snow picked up a fiery red, crystal clear and sparkling crystal from the ashes.

  "Master, this is a great thing, you've sent it!" Feng Zhan exclaimed with excitement all over his face. Oh my god, how can there be such a thing in this realm? No wonder that Fire Earth Dragon would undergo mutation. With this thing here, any fire-attribute spirit beast will benefit greatly.

  "What is this?" Ling Ruo Xue's face was full of question marks, was it a diamond?

  "This is the Fire Crystal Core! As long as it's here, countless Fire Crystals can be produced. The Fire Crystal is crucial for those who cultivate fire attributes." Feng Zhan explained simply that in his hometown, they used crystals of various attributes to assist in their cultivation.

  "Master, in this realm, absorbing spiritual energy from the heavens and earth is enough for cultivation. However, when you reach a higher-level realm, you'll need to rely on crystal stones of various attributes to assist your cultivation. Hmm, it's a bit early to tell you these things now, but you'll understand once you get to a higher-level realm." Feng Zhan continued to say.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded, actually, she understood Feng Zhan's meaning. The higher the level, the more heaven and earth energy is needed, so at that time, various methods to assist in cultivation are also very important.

  "Keep searching!" Cold-as-Snow put the Fire Crystal into the 'Qian Kun Bracelet' and handed it over to Qing Jue for safekeeping. After a moment's thought, she released Yu again.

  "Feathers, can you see through here with your insight?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, unable to hold back.

  "Master, Tiancai Dibao cannot be seen through," Yu said somewhat helplessly. Tiancai Dibao is a spiritual object and can only be obtained by those who are destined to have it.

  "Oh, then take your time looking." Lan Ruoxue said indifferently, but in fact, she had already guessed it, otherwise, Yu would have come out to help a long time ago.

  "Master, we want to help too." Yao said from within the halo.

  "Alright, all of you come out!" Leng Ruo Xue released Yao and the other beasts as well.

  Many beasts have great power, after several beasts come out, each occupies a place and searches carefully.

  "Master, there's a flower here." At this time, Ling suddenly shouted out.

  "What's here?" Leng Ruoxue arrived at Ling's location and looked around, but except for a large boulder, there was nothing.

  "Under the stone." Ling lowered his head, indicating a cold gaze downwards.

  She bent down to look at the huge rock under her feet, and in the gap below the rock, a small flower had indeed grown, but it was still just a small bud. The whole body of the flower was fiery red, slightly smaller than an adult's palm, emitting a faint fragrance like lotus flowers.

  "I've found it!" exclaimed Leng Ruoxue excitedly.

  "Master, isn't this the Millennium Fire Lotus?" Hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, Feng Zhan immediately came to her side and looked at the small fire lotus, saying honestly.

  "I know, but it's better than nothing." Ling Xue said happily. She had the 'Dry Universe Ring', so as long as she could find the fire lotus, it would be fine, even if it wasn't a thousand years old, she could still cultivate it into a thousand-year-old fire lotus.

  "Hmm! That's right, Master, I'll dig it out." Feng Zhan said with a self-motivated tone.

  "Alright." Leng Ruoxue yielded her position to Feng Zhan.

  Feng Zhan first moved the giant stone away from its original position, then squatted down and carefully dug out the fire lotus from the soil with its roots intact, and handed it over to Leng Ruo Xue.

  Leng Ruo Xue took over Huo Lian and directly sent it into the furnace, handing it over to Qing Jue.

  "Let's go back!" Leng Ruoxue knew that for any heavenly material or treasure, only one would grow in a place, so there was no need to continue searching.

  "Good." Feng Zhan nodded, and several beasts also jumped into Leng Ruoxue's arms or onto her shoulders.

  Along the original road, Leng Ruo Xue and Feng Zhan led the crowd of beasts to leave this active volcano and return to the Phoenix tribe's territory.

  In the wooden house.

  "Xue Er, you're back! How was the harvest?" asked Leng Qing Tian with a curious face. He already knew that the demon hadn't really died, but it wasn't easy to find the Millennium Fire Lotus!

  "Found only one small one, which is already not bad." Leng Ruo Xue was very satisfied, after all, Huo Lian itself was hard to find, so she didn't expect to be able to find it in one go.

  "That's good." Leng Qingtian felt relieved.

  "Uh, Grandfather, I'm a bit tired, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Go quickly!" Leng Qing Tian hurriedly urged as soon as he heard that his granddaughter was tired.

  Leng Ruo Xue had just returned to her own room when the silver fox she had left in the room pounced into her arms.

  "Xu'er, wu... how could you abandon me like that." The silver little fox complained with a wronged tone, tears welling up in her blue eyes.

  "It was you who said you didn't like fire." Cold-as-snow said wordlessly, how did this little fox become a traitor first!

  "That... you can't just leave someone at home, either!" The silver little fox said gloomily. He meant that Xue'er could put him in the ring, but unexpectedly, she actually left him directly in the room.

  "Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you didn't want to go!" Leng Ruo Xue said with a sly smile, heh heh, actually, she did it on purpose, who let this little fox always use tears to threaten her.

  "You owe me compensation!" The silver little fox said with a somewhat overbearing tone, he had taken advantage of Xue Er, anyway, Xue Er couldn't do anything about it.

  "How can I compensate?" Leng Ruoxue's face was full of black lines, this little fox is so similar to the demon, neither of them are willing to suffer a loss!

  "I haven't thought of it yet, wait till I think of it and then I'll tell you." The silver fox said with a hint of cunning.

  "Alright then!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly, and carried Xiaotiao into the 'Qiankun Ring'.

  "Sister, the fire lotus has been planted and I've also placed the Fire Crystal Heart near it to accelerate its growth." Qing Jue reported his labor results to Leng Ruo Xue as soon as she entered.

  "Green Jue, you've worked hard." Leng Ruo Xue picked up the pretty and lovely little doll and said, looking at Green Jue's small arms and legs, she felt a bit guilty in her heart, wondering if this counted as exploiting minors?

  "Sister, you're daydreaming again." Qing Jue, who knew Leng Ruo Xue's thoughts, rolled his eyes and showed a helpless expression on his delicate face. He was a vessel spirit, not an underage child!

  "Hmm, Qing Jue, when will this Fire Lotus reach a thousand years?" Leng Ruo Xue was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

  "Sister, considering the acceleration of time and adding the Fire Crystal Heart, I estimate it will take at least a hundred years!" Qing Jue furrowed his small brow, thinking for a moment before saying.

  "A hundred years! Does it have to take so long?" Leng Ruoxue was depressed.

  "Sister, a hundred years will pass quickly. For cultivators, a hundred years is just the blink of an eye." Qing Jue said disapprovingly, in his opinion, a hundred years was nothing, like the old master, who would casually go into seclusion for over a hundred years.

  "Uh-huh, Master, we'll sleep for a while and when we wake up, it will be several hundred years later." Ling couldn't help but speak out to comfort him.

  "Sister, if you want it to grow into a thousand-year-old fire lotus quickly, just work hard at your cultivation and you'll be able to do it. If you reach the level of the old master, then not only a thousand years but even ten thousand years would be just a blink of an eye." Qing Jue encouraged her, he was eager for his sister to improve her strength as soon as possible so that he could help her with more things.

  Her face was as cold as snow, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. In her heart, she was secretly worried. Would it take several years to blink an eye?

  "Sister, I was just making an analogy!" Qing Jue explained with a slightly dissatisfied tone, pouting her tender small mouth, sister is really too bad.

  "Hey, Qing Jue, can you not eavesdrop?" Leng Ruo Xue said awkwardly, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she didn't even have any privacy rights anymore.

  "Sister, soul contracts don't need to be eavesdropped on, they're openly listening." Qing Jue covered his small mouth and chuckled, hehe, sister is really too cute.

  “……”

  "I'm leaving first." Leng Ruo Xue said, and hastily fled in disarray, wooo... this master of mine is really too pathetic.

  "Haha!" The green jadelike creature and the other beasts in the circle couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Leng Ruo Xue took out the 'Qian Kun Chui', lay on the bed and slept soundly, waking up to find it was already the next day.

  After leaving her room, Leng Ruo Xue casually ate something and greeted Grandfather and others before going to find Feng Zhan.

  As soon as she arrived at Feng Wu's bedroom door, Leng Ruo Xue saw that he was waiting for her at the door.

  "Master." Feng Zhan saw Leng Ruoxue and walked several steps to her side.

  "Let's set off!" Leng Ruoxue said with some impatience.

  Feng Zhan nodded and the two of them walked side by side towards the direction of the door.

  "Sister, wait for Yan Yan." The two had just reached the door when they heard Yan Yan's voice behind them.

  Leng Ruo Xue stopped in her tracks, looking somewhat helpless as she gazed at the little Zhu Que who had collided into her arms. "Yan Yan, sister is going to take care of some proper business, you stay obediently in the clan, okay?"

  Ever since coming to the Phoenix Clan, Leng Ruo Xue had rarely seen this mischievous little guy. It was said that this little thing was locked up by his sister, so how did he sneak out today?

  "If it's Snow sister, I told you to accompany me to the Dragon Clan, why did you go today without telling me?" At this time, Feng Ling'er appeared in front of Leng Ruo Xue with an unpleasant face, staring at her with some annoyance.

  "Hmm, sister, isn't all of this for your own good?" Cold Ruo Xue said with a glance at the handsome young man beside Feng Ling Er.

  "Master." Feng Ling'er's husband, Feng Miao, bowed and said respectfully.

  "Ah, no need to be so polite, all of my beasts are quite fierce." said Leng Ruoxue somewhat uncomfortably.

  "That's right, Ruo Xue is my sister." Feng Ling'er agreed loudly.

  "You're going too?" Feng Zhan's eyes widened as he asked.

  "Father, I promised Snow that if she wanted to go and rescue people, I would accompany her. How can I not keep my word?" Feng Ling'er said coquettishly, wrapping her arm around Feng Zhan's arm.

  "Let's go together!" Leng Ruoxue said to Feng Zhan, although she hadn't spent much time with Feng Ling'er, but she understood her fiery and violent personality very well. If she didn't let this violent fire phoenix follow them, it was likely that Feng Miao would be the one to suffer misfortune again.

  "Hmm, I won't cause any trouble." Feng Ling'er guaranteed with a well-behaved expression.

  "Unbelievable." Feng Zhan didn't trust her words at all, coldly dropping two words and turning to walk in the direction of the dragon clan.

  A few people walked and chatted, soon they arrived at Long Island.

  "Snow sister, have you seen that island? Those stinky dragons live there." Feng Ling'er said, pointing to a small island not far away.

  Leng Ruo Xue followed the direction Feng Ling Er was pointing, and looked over. All she saw was a small island floating on the surface of the sea, with dense fog surrounding it, making it impossible to see the surroundings clearly. However, such a small island could only accommodate a few dragons at most.

  "How are we going in?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes stared at Feng Zhan, asking, this Dragon Island is surrounded by water on all sides, I guess we have to fly over!

  "Master, don't worry, that old dragon will send a dragon to pick us up." Feng Zhan said with a sly face and a mysterious tone.

  "Really?" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat skeptical of Feng Zhan's words, having heard that the Dragon and Phoenix were sworn enemies. Would the Dragon Clan really treat them as honored guests?

  Feng Zhan didn't respond to Leng Ruo Xue's words, but instead directly used his actions to express himself.

  Only to see the phoenix swiftly restored its true form, circling around the sky above Dragon Island several times before spewing out a raging inferno from its mouth. Instantly, the sea surface surrounding Dragon Island erupted in towering flames that enveloped the entire small island.

  "Hmm, Leng Ruo Xue looked at the sky, where a gigantic and dazzling fire phoenix was hovering, with black lines all over its forehead, looking extremely arrogant. This was truly too arrogant, she thought to herself, having never seen such an imposing creature before. Compared to Feng Zhan, she felt that she was really too kind-hearted."

  The phoenix finished spitting out the flames and immediately transformed into a human figure, standing beside Leng Ruoxue with an innocent face, as if he had nothing to do with the arrogant fire phoenix from just now.

  "Who dares to come to Long Island and cause trouble, really doesn't want to live." A loud roar came from inside the island, followed by several huge dragons flying out.

  "Ah! My mother! It's the Phoenix King, quickly go and report to the Dragon Emperor, the Phoenix King has come to cause trouble again!" After a few majestic giant dragons flew out and saw Feng Zhan standing on the beach, they were all scared back.

  Leng Ruo Xue suppressed her smile, sizing up Feng Zhan from head to toe, looking him up and down repeatedly. Her mind was racing with thoughts, no wonder Feng Zhan was so arrogant, it turned out that the Dragon Clan saw him as if they were mice seeing a cat!

  "It's them who are too timid, has nothing to do with me." Feng Zhan's expression was very innocent.

  "Uh-huh, if Snow sister, the dragon tribe is timid and afraid of trouble, only bullying the weak and fearing the strong. So, when dealing with them, we must be tough." Feng Ling'er explained, since she grew up, she had not been to Dragon Island to stir up trouble, and had even beaten many dragons, so those stinky dragons were simply not in her eyes.

  "That makes sense." Leng Ruoxue reluctantly agreed, "Those who are soft on the outside and hard on the inside will get beaten up. Otherwise, she would also find a few to beat up later?"

  "Dead Phoenix, how did you come again?" A furious roar, deafeningly loud in the ears of Cold Snow and others, followed by a giant purple-gold dragon flying out from Dragon Island.

  This dragon is about 100 meters long, its body covered with purple-gold scales, as beautiful and transparent as the finest amethyst. A pair of huge wings stretched out, covering half the sky.

  "I've missed you, so I came to see you." Feng Zhan said softly, as if the two of them had a very good relationship.

  "Pfft, I don't want you, no need to come see me." Long Hao said with a disdainful face. Who would believe this fox's words? Every time he comes, it's definitely not for good.

  "You're really too much, someone came from afar and you didn't even invite us in to sit down." Feng Zhan complained faintly, with a look of extreme grievance on his face.

  "Scram! I didn't invite you here." Long Hao shouted furiously, he really couldn't stand Feng Zhan's deadpan expression. Clearly a bird, but somehow even more cunning than a fox?

  "Hehe, you're inviting me... I wouldn't have come otherwise. Some people just like to invite themselves." Feng Zhan said with a tone that could kill, his handsome face full of provocative expressions.

  "You... are going to die!" Long Hao's anger was provoked, and he directly dove down towards Feng Zhan.

  "Don't hurt my master, you stupid fat dragon." Feng Zhan returned to his true form and directly blocked the way in front of Long Yu.

  "Huh? Your master? I didn't mishear, did I? Hahaha!" Enraged Long Hao heard Feng Zhan's words and was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing...

  It's really hilarious, this bird is even more cunning than a fox, and it has actually found itself a master. Isn't that just asking for trouble? Haha, being ordered around all day, where's the freedom in that?

  "Laugh now, you'll have your time to cry later." Feng Zhan said with a nonchalant smile, the reaction of this stinky dragon was within his expectations, but he believed that it wouldn't take long for this stinky dragon to be the one crying.

  "Hmph! This emperor won't cry, Phoenix War, take this!" After laughing enough, Long Hao didn't forget the main issue, he still had to continue fixing this bird!

  "Come on!" Feng Zhan lightly flapped his huge wings, looking at Long Zhan with a hint of disdain.

  Very soon, the bird and dragon became entangled together. In the sky, scarlet spiritual energy flew about wildly, dazzling to the eyes. The two enormous creatures each unleashed their own innate flames and dragon's breath, attacking each other...

  "Do they fight as soon as they meet?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the dragon and phoenix in the sky, asking somewhat helplessly. The strength of that dragon was evenly matched with Feng's, making it difficult to determine a winner.

  "Hmm, they always fight, it's just a habit for the master." Feng Ling'er said disapprovingly. Dragons and phoenixes had never been able to get along peacefully, and would always start fighting as soon as they met.

  "Oh, Yan Yan, quickly go and pick up the dragon scales for me. They're great materials for refining equipment." Leng Ruo Xue looked at the dragon scales that had fallen onto the sea surface or beach, and hastily instructed.

  "Sister, the package is on Yan's body." Yan excitedly flew towards the sea surface, picked up a dragon scale that was several times larger than her own body with her two small paws, and happily flew back to Leng Ruo Xue's side, handing over the dragon scale to her.

  "Awesome, thank you so much!" Lingyu stroked Yan's adorable little head and cooed.

  "If Snow sister, I'll help too!" Feng Ling'er said, and directly transformed back into her true form, flying to the surface of the sea, flapping her wings. Instantly, a fierce gust of wind swept across the sea's surface, and the scattered dragon scales were blown onto the beach.

  Feng Miao and Yan Yan stood on the beach, helping Leng Ruo Xue pick up dragon scales.

  Long Hao, who was fiercely battling Feng in mid-air, inadvertently saw the scene on the ground and almost fainted. What the...!

  "It seems my master is quite satisfied with your dragon scales! I'll just pluck a few for her!" Feng Zhan said calmly, and then two sharp, hard claws began to scrape against Long Hao's thick dragon body.
