Regardless of whether it was him or the others, they all liked Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang knew a lot of things, such as where the flames would come from and where there would be danger. He could tell them in advance, thus reducing the team's losses.
Now that he had taken the initiative to protect them, he had won the hearts of the team.
"Alright, Brother Zhan, thank you for your hard work. I'll go now."
Xiao Yang naturally did not decline. After a courteous reply, he chose a place, sat down cross-legged, and began to recuperate.
In fact, it did not matter whether he recuperated or not. His real cultivation had reached the seventh level of Martial Arts Grandmaster. The current predicament of the Flaming Mountain was not a problem for him.
However, since he had chosen to pretend from the beginning, he naturally had to pretend until the end. Before he obtained the positioning stone, Xiao Yang would not easily expose himself.
After recuperating for a while, everyone woke up one after another.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster senior brother said, "Senior Brother Zhan, we can't continue to search aimlessly like this."
They had searched for half a day and were exhausted, but they did not find anything. At this rate, they might not find anything even after a year or so.
Zhan Ruxue fell silent.
When he accepted the mission, he only prepared various living supplies and equipment to deal with the dangers of the flames. However, he did not know the specific location of the Heavenly Fire. He did not even have a map or clue.
It was also his first time in the Flaming Mountain. Many of his experiences were new to him. If not for Xiao Yang's knowledge, he would have fallen into the trap several times.
"Okay, Junior Brother, rest first. Let me think."
Zhan Ruxue comforted him and then looked at the sky lit up by the flames. He had no clue at all.
Xiao Yang naturally knew what Zhan Ruxue was worried about. He already had his own thoughts. He slowly walked up and said to Zhan Ruxue, "Brother Zhan, I used to be a businessman. I traveled extensively and met many people. As for the places I've been to, I've also been to many places. Therefore, I'm more familiar with the environment of the Mountain of Flames than you."
Zhan Ruxue nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yang's words. Along the way, Xiao Yang was indeed like a fish in water. He seemed to be a frequent visitor of the Mountain of Flames and had even helped them a lot. He even found a clean water source. Although they were not short of water, from this, it could be seen that Xiao Yang was not ordinary.
They trusted Xiao Yang very much.
"I used to have business dealings with someone from Flame City. He gave me a map of the Flaming Mountain. The map was incomplete, but it also marked the places where the Heavenly Fire might appear. I was thinking, why don't we give it a try?"
Xiao Yang asked tentatively.
When trading with businessmen, they would give him maps. This was all fake.
His goal was to draw out the map so that Zhan Ruxue would have a direction and not wander around blindly, which would be a waste of time.
Zhan Ruxue only knew that Xiao Yang used to do business. He didn't know the details. Now that he heard that there was a map, he immediately became excited. Although it was an incomplete map, it was better than nothing.
"Brother Bai, quickly bring it over. Let me take a look."
He said happily and couldn't wait.
Xiao Yang was reserved for a moment and pretended to be uncertain and inferior. He said unconfidently, "Brother Zhan, this is only an incomplete map. What if it's wrong?"
The more he pretended, the more he could gain trust.
The Heavenly Fire was very precious, but the map was even more precious. If it was a complete map and they knew where the Heavenly Fire was, it would be suspicious.
Zhan Ruxue smiled and comforted Xiao Yang, saying, "Brother Bai, don't worry. I'm just taking it for reference. In the end, it's up to the seniors and juniors to decide."
Xiao Yang sighed in relief. Without hesitation, he took out the incomplete map and handed it to Zhan Ruxue.
This map was drawn based on the route he had taken today and the range of his divine sense. It was a temporary drawing. In order to show that the map was old, he took a beast skin that was hundreds of years old to draw it. In order to make it more realistic, he deliberately poked a few holes.
As for the Heavenly Fire's standard on the beast skin, he only drew the rough location and it was very vague.
Zhan Ruxue looked at it and was more convinced.
The map was old and tattered, and it was almost useless.
The more it was like this, the more he believed it.
After confirming a location, he put away the map and called out to the rest.
"Junior Brothers, let's continue on our way after resting. Follow me."
The direction they were heading was towards the east.
Xiao Yang learned from the Heavenly Fire that there was a primary Heavenly Fire a hundred miles to the east, but many people were fighting for it.
The more people there were, the better. At least they could take advantage of the situation.
After walking for more than ninety miles, the group could hear the commotion coming from a few miles away. There were shouts, explosions, and even the sounds of martial skills and demonic beasts fighting. The flames in that direction were also very big, illuminating half of the sky.
"What's going on over there? Why is there such a big commotion? "
Xiao Yang pretended to be afraid and asked softly with a serious expression.
The others also looked solemn as they looked to the east. Some of them even thought of retreating, not wanting to get into trouble.
Zhan Ruxue, on the other hand, was excited. His eyes lit up as he glanced at Xiao Yang and nodded. He was even more convinced of the authenticity of the map.
He slowly said, "It's very likely that the Heavenly Fire will appear in front of us. Be careful. Let's go and take a look."
Heavenly Fire?
When everyone heard this word, they became excited and happy. Some even couldn't believe it. They had been searching for a long time and didn't even see the shadow of the Heavenly Fire. Now that there was news of the Heavenly Fire, they were naturally excited.
"Okay, let's go, let's go, we can't help but speed up."
Supervisor Zhang, Pang Dashan, and the others urged with a smile.
Their mission was to obtain the Heavenly Fire. As long as they completed the mission, they would naturally receive a large amount of rewards and points.
After carefully moving forward for a few miles, they saw a canyon full of flames. Many mercenaries were killing each other. In the battlefield, there were also Demonic Beasts and Demonic Beast Hunters. It was very chaotic.
The flames in the canyon sometimes burst out and spread, burning a larger area. Sometimes they shrank and moved constantly, as if they were trying to escape.
Xiao Yang already had experience with the Heavenly Fire. He spread out his Divine Sense and immediately confirmed the location of the Fire Seed.
He was a little excited as he pointed to the depths of the canyon and said, "Look, the temperature of the flames there is the highest and the light is the brightest. Every time the flames outside spread and shrink, it's the place where the energy is released. If I'm not wrong, the Fire Seed is in the depths of the flames.
"Look, there are already people inside the flames."
Xiao Yang reminded them again and again.
There were still people fighting outside the canyon.
"Senior Brother Zhan, let's go and try. It wasn't easy to find the Heavenly Fire. We can't just give up like this."
