Within the underground cave.
The fiery red lava flowed slowly, emitting a scorching aura.
On a piece of land in the lava ocean, Little Fox stood on both legs and placed her tiny paws before her chest. Looking at the corpse of the fox demon in front of her, her bright eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy and confusion.
She had been living in fear for the past few decades.
The Fire Blocking Basket that was as black as a metal pot was the final treasure her mother left for her.
Little Fox hid in the Fire Blocking Basket every day and felt like a year. It was as though she would only be safer in this small world.
However, in reality, Little Fox knew that it was extremely easy for the crocodile to kill her!
She had never imagined that she would be able to escape from the claws of the crocodile one day and even take revenge for her mother.
Everything was all thanks to that delicate-looking scholar.
The moment she caught sight of the scholar, Little Fox had a feeling that he was not a bad person.
That was the reason why Little Fox reminded the scholar to watch his back.
The moment the delicate-looking scholar was swallowed by the crocodile, Little Fox was completely disheartened, thinking that he was dead for sure and she would be trapped here forever.
However, what happened later on scared her completely!
Inside the crocodile's body, an extremely terrifying flame ignited, burning the crocodile's flesh and blood to nothing. But the delicate and pretty scholar had escaped unscathed!
Left with no choice, the crocodile's Essence Spirit was almost shattered by a single roar from the delicate-looking scholar.
Little Fox hurriedly buckled the Fire Blocking Basket and burned the crocodile's Essence Spirit to ashes!
Now that she had her revenge, Little Fox's heart suddenly felt empty.
She stood there in a daze for an unknown amount of time before the little fox's furry ears twitched. She heard the sound of footsteps.
Someone was here!
Little Fox was extremely alert and buckled the Fire Blocking Basket immediately. Hiding within, she widened her pitch-black eyes and looked outside through the hole in the Fire Blocking Basket.
Before long, a green figure appeared from the corner – it was the delicate-looking scholar who had left in a hurry Just Now!
Raising the Fire Blocking Basket, Little Fox tilted her head slightly and blinked, looking at the delicate-looking scholar.
At the same time, the delicate-looking scholar turned the corner and caught sight of Little Fox immediately as well.
The man and the beast just stared at each other without moving.
It was more like a test of trust.
Decades of captivity had made the little fox cautious and paranoid. She was extremely wary of strangers.
Even if the delicate scholar helped her kill her enemy, she was still worried that after the crocodile left, an even more terrifying and cruel existence would appear!
The little fox had seen the skills of the delicate and pretty scholar.
She was definitely no match for him.
Little Fox really didn't know what to do if this delicate scholar rushed towards her with ill intentions.
Just as the little fox's imagination was running wild, the delicate scholar smiled and nodded at her.
The little fox felt her heart lighten when she saw the scholarly man's smile and let down her guard.
…
Su Zimo looked at the frightened little fellow not far away. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes as he sighed inwardly.
Being imprisoned here for dozens of years, without freedom, without daylight, and living with his enemies day in and day out. Such an experience had probably caused a great deal of psychological damage to this little fellow.
Su Zimo was a demonic cultivator to begin with and had even lived with monkey, the Night Spirit and other demon beasts. As such, he could vaguely sense the worry, fear and trepidation in the little fox's heart.
This was a little fellow with a pitiful background.
Su Zimo did not try to comfort her or approach her.
At that moment, any actions that were slightly out of line could cause the little fox to feel uneasy and hostile.
Su Zimo walked along the edge of the cave and headed deeper.
Prior to this, he was ambushed by the Scarlet Armored Gigantic Crocodile and had to return to the underground palace to fight – he did not have the time to explore this cave.
If he wanted to refine weapons here, he could not be disturbed.
The scarlet mist released by the Vermilion Fruit shrouded the outside and no one would discover this place. All that was left was for him to check the cave thoroughly to ensure that there were no dangerous factors.
The cave was extremely deep and twisted – no one knew where it led to.
Along the way, Su Zimo released his spirit perception but did not sense any danger.
On the contrary, the little fox raised a Fire Blocking Basket that covered most of its body and tiptoed behind Su Zimo like a walking pot.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to tease it. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned around, glaring at the little thing behind him with a bright gaze.
The little fox was shocked and a look of panic flashed through its eyes as it let go of its paws instinctively.
Clang!
The Fire Blocking Basket fell to the ground motionlessly and the little fox hid within with an embarrassed expression.
Su Zimo could not help but chuckle and turned to continue forward.
Within the Fire Blocking Basket, the little fox gripped its paws tightly and was indignant. Waving its fists at Su Zimo's back view, it harrumphed.
In the blink of an eye, when the little fox saw that Su Zimo had gone far away, it raised the Fire Blocking Basket hurriedly and tiptoed to chase after him.
Su Zimo had always been curious about where the lava ocean in the cave came from and how it was formed.
He ventured deep into the cave, wanting to find the source of the lava. However, he realized that the surrounding temperature was rising and he could not take it anymore!
Not far away, the lava flowed slowly, emitting scorching heat.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Zimo's eyes flickered and he exclaimed softly.
There was still a layer of scorching flames floating on the surface of the lava here.
However, the layer of flames had a color and was slightly yellow!
Su Zimo approached slightly before retreating hurriedly.
The temperature of the yellow flames was even higher than the connate spirit fire!
"How could this be?"
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and looked along the lava river.
He had a feeling that the source of the lava was right ahead!
"Oo! Oo!"
Right then, a series of hurried cries sounded from behind Su Zimo.
Su Zimo turned back and saw the little fox's Fire Blocking Basket at the side, panting heavily from the heat. Its fiery red fur was drenched in sweat and its body was dripping wet, as though it had just crawled out of the water.
The temperature here was something that even the little fox who lived in the world of lava could not take!
The little fox shook its head repeatedly, indicating to Su Zimo not to go any deeper.
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your cultivation realm isn't high enough so don't follow me. I'll go in and take a look. If I can't take it, I'll definitely retreat."
The moment he spoke, Su Zimo realized that his throat had already turned dry and hoarse.
Su Zimo took a deep breath and felt his throat burning. Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, he crushed a few protection talismans and continued forward.
After a few more turns, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks instinctively and shuddered.
There was a tall volcano before him!
The lava was gushing out from this volcano!
The lava that was gushing out from the mouth of the volcano was golden in color!
There were only a few drops of golden lava that flowed down the volcano each time, melting the rocks and flowing down, forming an incomparably majestic lava ocean like the one in the cave!
