The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox screamed, causing Jiang Chen and the others to be startled. Because the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox had also attracted their attention. In other words, they were not the only ones who found this place with the help of the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox. Moreover, they might not have good intentions.
"Who is Xiao Yu?"
Yu Er 'niang asked.
"She's the object of my love. She's so perfect, so noble, so smart, so gentle, so kind, so —"
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox closed his eyes, showing an intoxicated expression, as if he was a young man who had fallen in love.
"If we don't catch up to them, you, the perfect, noble, intelligent, gentle, and kind Fox Princess, will become a puppet in the hands of others."
Jiang Chen sneered.
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked. At this moment, he realized that his Xiao Yu might be in danger. Jiang Chen's reminder made him feel refreshed. "You're right.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox quickly chased after them.
"Looks like we're not the first ones to enter this volcanic cave."
Yu Jingfan said in a deep voice. Now, they were even more certain that the Scarlet Cloud Ancient Vine Heart was here.
"Then let's hurry up. Otherwise, someone else will get it before us."
Yu Huafan quickly said and the others quickly followed.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox. He could feel two powerful forces entering this volcanic cave. Although it was complicated and ever-changing, it was still the same. Finally, Jiang Chen entered a blazing square under the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox's lead. Countless flames shot out light pillars from the ground, shooting up to tens of meters high before gradually subsiding. The blazing light pillars carried scorching magma and eventually turned into ashes.
Every ten meters or so, there would be a one meter square flaming cavern. There were hundreds and thousands of them in the entire flaming plaza. The flames were incomparably dazzling, so dazzling that one could not see anything. Jiang Chen and the rest were extremely cautious. In this flaming plaza, one could see the top of a hundred meter wall just by raising their heads. The air was extremely thin and thick smoke was rising from everywhere.
"It's so hot here. I feel like I'm going to be roasted."
Yu Huafan rolled his eyes and said while gasping for breath.
"Jiang Chen, why are you fine?"
Yu Huafan looked at the people around him and found that all of them were in the same state. Even the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox was sweating profusely. His white feathers, which were standing up, were now lying flat on his body.
"I don't know if you've heard this saying before, but curiosity killed the cat."
Jiang Chen said lightly.
"You … Alas, forget it. I won't lower myself to your level."
Yu Huafan said unwillingly. However, the secrets of Jiang Chen had really surprised him. Previously, he had saved them from the Peach Blossom Array and the dreamland. He knew that Jiang Chen did not have any evil intentions, but he still felt a little uncomfortable being kept in the dark about everything.
"It's strange. Why can't I sense Xiao Yu's aura?"
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox said anxiously.
Jiang Chen sensed the aura around him, but he found nothing. Because the heatwave in the depths of the magma was too turbulent. All he could feel was the horrible heat.
"Someone is coming."
Jiang Chen said in a low voice. The few of them turned around and saw a red-clothed girl. Her long hair was fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were cold and sharp. Her eyes were long and narrow, and her lips were thin. She gave off a natural sense of viciousness and cunning. Although she was beautiful, she was as beautiful as a snake or a scorpion.
Behind her, there were four powerful and beautiful ladies looking at them silently. They were cold and merciless. Their cold killing intent formed a sharp contrast with the blazing heat in the magma cave.
"Are you looking for her?"
The lady in red said lightly. She was holding Xiao Yu, who was choked by his neck. Xiao Yu was on the verge of death. Her mouth was cold.
"Crazy woman, what did you do to Xiao Yu? Bastard, I won't let you off. "
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox gritted his teeth and looked ferocious. Looking at Xiao Yu, who was extremely weak, his heart was in extreme pain.
"A bunch of useless soldiers and crab generals, relying on the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox to find this place. Do you really think that you can get a share of the loot? This is not a place that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come to. "
The lady in red said mockingly.
"Now, her mission is considered completed. I'll return her to you."
The lady in red said and let go of Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu fell directly into the flames of the underground cave. Under the flames, there was boiling magma.
At that moment, the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox was dumbfounded. He did not expect the lady in red to be so vicious.
"Xiao Yu!"
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox's roar was extremely ear-piercing. However, in the next second, Jiang Chen disappeared from where he was. However, his strength was too weak. Even the lady in red did not notice him.
Under the protection of the Five Elemental True Fire, Jiang Chen jumped into the depths of the magma and protected Xiao Yu in time. He pulled her back from the brink of death and fed her two elixirs. Only then did she manage to save her life.
"She killed as soon as she attacked. She's really an old witch."
Jiang Chen was calm and composed. He carried Xiao Yu in his arms and slowly walked out.
Everyone's eyes froze, including the lady in red. She did not even see how Jiang Chen did it. He was just at the early stage of the Heavenly God Scripture, yet he was able to save the demonic beast without anyone noticing. He did have some tricks up his sleeves.
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox held Xiao Yu's paw tightly. There was a deep look in his eyes. However, she managed to escape from death. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen, she would have died. The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox looked at Jiang Chen. He saved Xiao Yu. It was like giving her a new lease on life. This mysterious man with a mysterious identity and strength made the Jade-faced Spiritual Fox feel enlightened.
"Xiao Yu, wake up. Wake up."
Xiao Yu was brutally tortured by the lady in red. She was on the verge of death. However, under Jiang Chen's help, she finally woke up.
"Xiao Bing, it's you? I'm not dead yet? "
Xiao Yu said weakly. She opened her eyes with difficulty.
"You're not dead yet. I won't let you die. It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I will protect you for the rest of my life."
The Jade-faced Spiritual Fox hugged Xiao Yu tightly. His body was warm, but his heart was cold. He hated himself for not being able to protect the person he loved.
The lady in red squinted her eyes. Leng Leng said:
"It's just a demonic beast. I can kill it if I want to. What can you do to me?"
"You don't know that the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life. Humans are born from their mothers and demons are born from their mothers. Why can you decide the life and death of others?"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Because I'm strong enough. What a bunch of cute fellows. However, you guys don't deserve to stay here. You better get out of here. Otherwise, there's no turning back if you lose your life. Hahaha. "
The lady in red stroked her long hair. She covered her mouth and giggled. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be from one of the top ten sects in the Qilian Region, the Red-clothed Thirteen House, right?"
