Chapter 177: Heavenly Fire Volcano (2/2)
Based on what he knew, Lin Yan who claimed to be “Tian Long Number One Wizard of Fire” also received training from Nangong. He stayed with the Nangong Family until he reached the age of more than forty. Only then, did he return home to Tian Long City. After more that fifty years of age, he had finally reached the Heaven-Level strength, which he had longed for. Although he was regarded as number one in the fire element, Ye Wuchen believed that there must be some other higher level experts among the usually low-profile Nangong Family who had powers that were certainly greater than his.
Ye Wuchen did not stop, he bypassed the Nangong residence as he continued ahead. When the water on Ning Xue’s body had dried up, he would regularly pour some more down on her, not allowing her to suffer from pain.
They walked for almost ten minutes when the scorching heat in the air made their vision become slightly distorted. Ning Xue started to pant hoarsely and the air she breathed out onto Ye Wuchen’s face rolled with heat.
“Xue-er, bear with it a little bit more, just a little bit more we shall reach the place. That time, brother will have the means to make you not to feel the heat.” While Ye Wuchen was talking, he drew out some water from the ring of the God of Sword and poured it on her body.
Ning Xue nodded and leaned closer to him.
Broken rocks scattered in the area that was incomparably desolate. One could not see the existence of any vegetation, but occasionally they could see traces of trample marks made by passers-by. Sometimes they would carelessly step on some broken rocks, which, upon colliding with them, made sparks.
The sky above their head was no longer blue, instead it was a bright red color that had completely hidden the blue. Within their sight in the far distance was a not so high mountain peak standing erect. The entire mountain was red through and through, just like it aflame. Even the surrounding area of the mountain peak and the sky above was shining red. This area was still several kilometers from the Heavenly Fire Volcano, yet it had caused the blistering hot temperature within the perimeter of a few kilometers away up to their current spot. Even if one was situated in the most active volcano of this world, it was still completely incomparable to this one.
The hottest place in the Heavenly Star Continent was truly like a purgatory of lava which one would have trouble approaching.
This place that was difficult to enter, but before Ye Wuchen’s eyes, a figure had emerged and was slowly approaching him. Getting a clear view of this person’s appearance, Ye Wuchen was startled, and when the person saw the three of them, he was similarly startled.
“Who are all of you?”
The young man was around twenty years of age, with extraordinary personality. His eyes swept across Tong Xin and Ning Xue at first, as his face revealed expressions of being stunned and astonished at the same time. When he looked at Ye Wuchen, he was greatly distracted, then somehow unable to believe himself, he swayed his head, “You are… Is your family name Ye?”
“Brother Nangong, I am Ye Wuchen.” Ye Wuchen stopped walking and answered with a smile. This person was the fire wizard Nangong Zhen who was defeated by Leng Ya during the competition. Ye Wuchen had paid attention to this person before and had a deep impression of this person.
Nangong Zhen, having heard of these words, was full of excitement, but immediately he covered up his expression and enthusiastically said, “Indeed you really are Master Ye from the Tian Long City. It’s really nice to meet you. That day in Tian Long City, I had personally witnessed Master Ye’s elegant manner and almost thought you were some heavenly being. I didn’t expect that I could meet you here… Oh? How did you know that my family name is Nangong?”
“That day, I remembered brother Nangong’s elegant talent clearly. I truly couldn’t easily forget such an outstanding person.”
Nangong Zhen candidly laughed, “Master Ye you overpraise me. My negligible magical skills are unfit for your discerning eyes. Actually… Why did you come here? And moreover you’vealso…” He used his eyes to hint at Ning Xue and Tong Xin. He truly could not understand the reason for bringing two children to this place.
Ye Wuchen directly answered, “We’ve prepared to got to the Heavenly Fire Volcano.”
“Heavenly Fire Volcano?” Nangong Zhen was surprised and advised against it, “You shouldn’t go to that place. Not even uphill, ordinary people could rarely even reach the foot of the volcano. If you step on the volcano, there’s a possibility that you will be transformed into ashes in an instant, Master Ye you must not go there!”
Even within his Nangong Family, only a few grandfathers were able to reach the top of the volcano. Approaching the center of the volcano was evidently impossible. And based on what he knew, although Ye Wuchen’s powers were great, he definitely had not reached Spirit-Level, so he was only good enough to able to stay on the foot of the volcano for a short moment.
But immediately, a surprising discovery made him inwardly astonished.
Although the place in here was still far away from the Heavenly Fire Volcano, the temperature had already reached the bottom line wherein the ordinary people would be able to bear. In this temperature, ordinary people would already be perspiring profusely, dizzy, powerless, and even have difficulty in breathing. Nangong Zhen, who had an intimate connection with the element of fire, felt slightly suffocated and his body was drenched in sweat. But aside from the white haired girl, Ye Wuchen and the young girl with black dress seemed not to feel any discomfort, their facial colors were ordinary and their body did not have a single drop of sweat.
How can he not be surprised by that?
