Celestial being

"It is indeed a high-level spiritual material."

Yuan Ming's eyes were filled with joy, and he fell in love with the fiery red horn more and more. He carefully put it away, planning to find a way to find out what it was after returning to the sect.

The magma of the Tali volcano actually contains such a single horn. It seems that this volcano is not simple.

However, he did not have the ability to explore this mountain now. He turned around and called to the fire ferret, and continued walking in the distance, and soon he was completely away from the area covered by volcanic lava.

Yuan Ming stood on a slope and looked at the scarred earth.

When such a large-scale volcanic eruption occurred, all the fire jade near the volcano had been submerged by the magma. He had no means to search for fire jade from the magma. It seemed that this mission could only end here.

He was a little confused about what to do next. He didn't know whether to look for others or return to the sect on his own first.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Ming decided to look for others and walked in one direction with Huo Mao.

It would be a bit heartless to leave alone now, and he only roughly remembers the location of the Biluo Cave Sect, so it might be troublesome to go back alone.

At this moment, a slight sound came from behind, like footsteps.

Yuan Ming hurriedly turned around and saw a person turning out from the mountain road not far away, it was Legong.

"Junior brother Yuan, you are still alive, and the fire ferret is also safe. Thank God!" Legon ran over excitedly when he saw Yuan Ming and the fire ferret next to him.

Legon looked very embarrassed at the moment. A lot of his clothes were burned and his skin was scorched in several places. Fortunately, none of his vitals were injured.

After the fire ferret glanced at Legon, he looked away and ignored him, as if he didn't like this person very much.

"Senior Brother Legong, are you okay?" Yuan Ming also had a happy face.

Meeting familiar people at this time is always a happy thing.

"It's okay, just a little skin injury, nothing worth mentioning. By the way, Junior Brother Yuan, have you seen Senior Sister Lan Ke and the others? Of course, there's also Mu Li and the others." Legon waved his hand and asked.

"The situation was critical just now. I only focused on escaping for my own life and didn't pay attention to others." Yuan Ming shook his head.

"Ah, I don't know how she is." Legon scratched the back of his head after hearing this, with a worried look on his face.

Yuan Ming's eyes moved. Legon, Mu Li, Chi Shu, and Agula were all new acquaintances. Naturally, he was worried about Lan Ke. He didn't know what the relationship was.

"Let's search around. With Senior Sister Lan Ke's strength, they should be fine." He suggested without exploring.

Legon nodded, and the two of them looked in the same direction.

The fire ferret jumped on Yuan Ming, half-lying on his shoulders, squinting his eyes to rest.

"It seems that Huo Mao likes Junior Brother Yuan very much! After Junior Brother Yuan returns to the sect, he might as well take on this task and give it a try." Seeing Huo Mao's docile appearance, Legon suggested with half envy and half sigh.

Yuan Ming did have this idea and asked: "Brother Legong, can you tell me in detail about the mission of the Third Cave Master?"

"Junior Brother Yuan is really interested? In fact, the task itself is nothing. The requirements of the Third Cave Master are very simple. Take good care of the fire ferret, feed it a few fire crystals every day, and do not let it be harmed." Legon said quickly.

"It doesn't sound difficult," Yuan Ming said.

"It's easy to say, but not easy to do at all. Junior Brother Yuan still doesn't know how naughty this fire ferret is." Legon held his forehead and sighed.

At this moment, the fire ferret who had squinted his eyes suddenly opened his eyes and began to hum.

Seeing this, Legon quickly took out a piece of fiery red crystal and handed it to the fire marten's mouth. It seemed to be exactly what the third cave master had fed to the fire marten before.

When the fire ferret saw the crystal, he immediately raised his head, opened his mouth and bit the object, bit it into pieces and ate it bit by bit.

"How is the reward for this mission?" Yuan Ming touched the fire mink's head and asked what he was most concerned about.

"The reward is naturally generous. As long as you can take care of the fire ferret according to her requirements, you can get thirty contribution points as a reward every month, and you can also learn a spell from her for free. Of course, it must be in the Qi Refining Period." Legon. said.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he became even more excited.

Thirty contribution points is definitely a generous reward. Working in Huofang, the monthly contribution value is only ten points, not to mention that you can learn a spell for free.

He continued to tease the fire ferret's head, secretly making up his mind.

"Junior Brother Yuan is not a disciple of the Beast Taming Hall. If you want to take on this task, you still have to start from the Execution Hall. The deacons there also know the mission of the Third Cave Master." Legon thought for a while and added.

"Thanks for the tip." Yuan Ming thanked him.

The two continued to search for a long time, but found no clues at all.

Yuan Ming was fine, but Legon seemed increasingly anxious.

"Continuing to search blindly like this is not an option, why not try another way?" Yuan Ming suggested.

"Oh, what can Junior Brother Yuan do?" Legon's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Since we can't find Senior Sister Lan Ke and the others, it's better to let them come to us." Yuan Ming said.

Legon was startled and didn't know why.

"Burning wood makes smoke." Yuan Ming pointed to a small forest not far away.

"This is a good idea." Legon rubbed his hands and said happily.

The two of them worked together to cut down all the trees in the forest and lit a fire.

The billowing black smoke quickly rose and floated high into the sky, forming a smoke column.

The volcanic lava has calmed down, not much smoke has risen, and the black smoke column is quite conspicuous.

After a moment, a clear crane chirp came, and two white cranes appeared in the distant sky and flew over quickly.

The two figures sitting on Bai He were Mu Li and Chi Shu.

"You two, you are safe and sound, that's great." Yuan Ming waved.

Legon was disappointed, forced out a smile, and asked the two about Lan Ke's whereabouts.

A cry that pierced the sky came from the other side, and a gray shadow quickly approached. It was the golden-eyed eagle, with Lan Ke and Agula on its back.

"Senior Sister Lan Ke, you are all right too. It's really our ancestor's blessing." Legon was overjoyed and waved.

Yuan Ming also looked happy, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

Encountering such a natural disaster, all six of them survived. It must be said that they were really lucky.

The golden-eyed eagle fell to the ground, Lan Ke jumped down, but Agula did not move.

But his right leg was scorched black below the knee, and less than half of his skin was burned off, obviously caused by the magma. There were also many burns in other places, and he looked very miserable.

When Mu Li and others saw this, their expressions changed slightly, and Yuan Ming also frowned.

"Junior brother Agula, why are you injured like this?" Mu Li asked with concern as he and Agula had done several missions together and were close to each other.

Agula laughed miserably and said nothing.

With his right leg injured like this, the meridians in his leg may have also been damaged, and I don't know if it can be recovered.

Lan Ke sighed and told the whole story of Agula's injury.

When the magma hit, he released the white crane and tried to fly into the sky to escape. However, the white crane was afraid of the volcanic disaster and abandoned Agula and fled alone.

Agula was so frightened and angry that he had no choice but to escape. On the way, he was attacked by a fire rock snake and bitten on his right leg. Then he was caught up by the churning lava and his right leg was burned. He was about to be buried here.

At the critical moment, Lan Ke passed by nearby and saved Agula's life.

"In any case, everyone is still alive, which is a blessing among misfortunes. Although Junior Brother Agula's injury is serious, there is no way to recover, but we have to return to the sect." Lan Ke said.

Mu Li is a disciple of the Furnace Hall and is proficient in several medical skills. He immediately applied ointment to Agula's wound and bandaged it.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Muli." Agula thanked him.

Several people fled for their lives in a hurry. They were all quite tired now and took a short rest around the fire.

"It's really strange why a volcanic eruption of this magnitude suddenly occurred." Mu Li looked at the giant volcano peak.

"How could we mortals predict such a natural disaster?" Lan Ke shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's the Fire Demon in the tower turning over at the bottom of the mountain, haha..." Seeing that Lan Ke was safe and sound, Legon returned to his previous liveliness and laughed.

"The Fire Demon in the Tower?" Yuan Ming looked over.

"This is a legend about Tali Volcano. This area was originally a lush green mountain range, and the giant peak was also an ordinary peak. Later, an immortal suppressed a Balrog under the giant peak. The Balrog controlled the flames and burned the rocks. This place has turned into a volcanic area." Legon said with joy, glancing at Lan Ke from time to time.

Yuan Ming was silent. He thought of the fiery red horn he just got. It couldn't be the Horn of the Flame Demon, right?

He then shook his head and smiled, cursing himself for being naive. How could such myths and legends be true?

"By the way, rumors also say that the Balrog turns over every five hundred years, triggering a huge volcanic eruption. I have read records about the Tali volcano in the door. It seems that a large-scale volcano also occurred here hundreds of years ago. Eruption, maybe that legend is true." Seeing that everyone else was looking over, Legon became more and more interested and said eloquently.

"Okay, these are some folk myths and stories. Fortunately, you are still a cultivator of immortality, and you actually believe such absurd stories." Lan Ke frowned and scolded.

Legon giggled a few times and closed his mouth obediently.

However, with Legon's nonsense, the atmosphere at the scene became much more relaxed.

Everyone rested for a while and almost recovered.

"What are your plans next?" Lan Ke asked.

"After something like this happened, it is no longer possible to continue looking for Huo Puyu. It is better to return to the sect first. Junior Brother Agula's injury must be looked at as soon as possible." Mu Li said.

The others had no objections, and the group immediately rushed towards the sect.

…

Execution hall.

The other people who returned from the mission with Yuan Ming handed over the fire jade in exchange for reward, but all his fire jade was eaten by the fire mink and he could not get the reward.

However, Yuan Ming didn't care. He had already decided to take over the task of taking care of "Huo Greedy" and went directly to the management deacon.

After registering the task acceptance record there, Yuan Ming was told that non-Beast Taming Hall disciples who accepted tasks related to raising spiritual beasts needed to go to the Beast Taming Hall to learn relevant knowledge and obtain approval.

After all, it concerns the third cave master’s beloved pet, and no one can bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.
