In the lava lake, the glaring white lava was bubbling and rolling.
Teng Qingshan walked out from the dark tunnel at the side. Du Hong asked, "Commandant, did you catch up to that kid?"
"There are too many tunnels and forks here. It's like a maze. And it's pitch black … "Teng Qingshan shook his head and instructed," Alright, let's not bother about that person for now. We've already discovered the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, but it's obvious that there are still some days before it ripens. Let's go back first. "
"Yes, we have to report this to the Commander." Du Hong nodded.
"In the future, who do you think the sect will give the Black Fire Spirit Fruit to?" Teng Qinghu asked.
Du Hong replied, "It was Lord Commandant who thought that there was something strange about this canyon and rushed over! This is all thanks to Lord Commandant's great contribution. Moreover, Lord Commandant's strength is the number one among the younger generation of the Gui Yuan Sect. Regardless of potential or contribution, it should be given to Lord Commandant. "
"Yes, you're right." Teng Qinghu nodded.
"We haven't even gotten the Black Fire Spirit Fruit yet, what's the point of thinking about such things." Teng Qingshan smiled and walked along the path they came from. "Let's go back."
"My mouth feels dry after staying in this place for a while." Teng Qinghu wiped his forehead, which was full of sweat.
Even though they were far away, the temperature in this underground region was around 60 degrees. With such high temperatures, it was natural for one to sweat quickly. Fortunately, they were all powerful warriors. If they were ordinary people, it would be normal for them to faint from the heat.
… …
Following the dark and deep crevice, Teng Qingshan and the rest grabbed onto the vines and quickly climbed up. In one breath, they climbed a distance of more than a hundred Zhang, and with a leap, they reached the platform of the cave passage.
The three of them jumped out of the crevice and walked towards the entrance.
"Wait a while, don't rush out. First, look outside through the crevice. Let's see if there are any outsiders. If there are no outsiders, we'll go out. " Teng Qingshan said. Du Hong and Teng Qinghu both nodded. They both understood … that this cave passage was a huge secret.
The three of them walked to the entrance of the cave. Teng Qingshan looked outside through the gaps between the vines and leaves.
Other than the Black Armoured Corps, there were actually two ordinary martial artists in the canyon.
"Wait a moment," said Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qinghu and Du Hong were also waiting quietly. Teng Qingshan noticed that the two ordinary warriors were obviously afraid of the Gui Yuan Sect's men, and they quickly left the valley.
"Let's go down." Teng Qingshan took the lead. He lifted the vines and jumped down.
Powerful First Rated Warriors still dared to jump from a height of more than ten Zhang. This would not expose Teng Qingshan's strength, but it would only make the Black Armoured Corps sergeants admire Teng Qingshan even more.
Whoosh!
More than ten Zhang and landed directly.
Teng Qingshan easily deflected the impact.
Teng Qinghu grabbed the vines and jumped down. When he slid down a few Zhang, he grabbed the vines tightly. When he stopped, he jumped down, stepped on the cliff wall and landed easily.
"Whoosh!" Du Hong actually imitated Teng Qingshan and jumped down from the entrance of the cave.
"Old Du." Teng Qingshan was shocked.
However, when he landed, Du Hong immediately crouched down and rolled on the ground at the same time. Finally, he deflected the impact.
"Sir Commandant, you are so powerful. You are so high that even I, Old Du, can't deflect the impact. I still need to roll." Du Hong laughed. Teng Qinghu, who was next to him, walked over and deliberately ridiculed, "Old Du, I relied on the vines. You jumped down directly. You are not giving me face. Tell me, what should I do?"
"I will give you an extra pot of wine tonight. Is that okay?" Du Hong laughed.
"One pot?" Teng Qinghu shook his head. "No, you don't have to drink tonight. Your wine is mine!"
Ji Hong strictly limited the amount of wine he could drink. Because he needed to search in the afternoon, he drank very little at noon and more at night. However, there was still a limit. A centurion could only drink three pots of wine at most.
"All of it is yours. Three pots?"
"Why? You think it is too little? Why not give me your wine tomorrow night too?"
… …
Teng Qingshan did not care about the two of them. He directly ordered the other Black Armoured Corps soldiers, "First Squad, stay in this canyon for the time being. It is best to hide in the bushes and wait. Keep an eye on the entrance of the cave! If you see the lean man that I brought in earlier come out, capture him. "
"Yes!" The soldiers of First Squad answered.
"Sir Commandant, what if that person wants to escape?" First Squad asked.
Teng Qingshan said indifferently, "Then break his legs! If it is a life and death battle, then there is no need to hold back! "
"Yes." The soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. With Teng Qingshan's words, they did not need to be afraid.

At noon, Guan Lu led the troops back to the camp first. Ji Hong came back later. When the two sides arrived, Teng Qingshan, who had rushed back earlier, immediately invited Guan Lu and Ji Hong to the camp for a secret discussion.
"What did you say!" Ji Hong's face revealed a shocked expression.
Guan Lu also looked at Teng Qingshan in shock. In these few days, there had been no news of anyone discovering the location of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.
Teng Qingshan nodded and said, "Yes, just this morning, I discovered the location where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit grows. That place is indeed very hot. "The location where the lava flowed was, of course, extremely hot.
"Quick, tell me in detail." Ji Hong was overjoyed.
Teng Qingshan immediately began to explain in detail. Beside him, Ji Hong and Guan Lu also revealed expressions of joy. Hearing that the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was actually located at the location of the lava, they were also a little surprised.
"However, the lad who led the way escaped into the tunnel and I was unable to find him. It was pitch black inside, like a maze. " Teng Qingshan said, "I have already ordered a squad to hide in the canyon and wait quietly. Once that person comes out of the cave, he will definitely not be able to escape. "
Ji Hong listened and nodded his head repeatedly.
"Haha, Qingshan, you've done well this time!" Ji Hong happily patted Teng Qingshan's shoulder. "As long as we take care of the person who escaped, this news will be known to our Gui Yuan Sect! At that time, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and Black Fire Spirit Root will be in our hands! "
Guan Lu also looked at Teng Qingshan.
She didn't understand why Teng Qingshan was always able to make contributions.
"We have to keep this a secret!" Ji Hong continued, "We can't let others know … How about this, let's have lunch as usual. Everything will be as usual. When we go out to search in the afternoon, Qingshan and Guan Lu, just the two of you follow me into the cave and take a good look. "
Ji Hong and Guan Lu didn't see the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. They wouldn't be at ease if they didn't take a look.
… …
That afternoon, Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu led their men into the Blazing Mountain. Very quickly, Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu quietly arrived at the canyon.
"Lord Commandant, Lord Commander." The small group of men immediately walked out from the bushes.
"Have you found that kid?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"No." The leader shook his head.
Teng Qingshan didn't know … that the lean man would never come out again.
"Yes, he probably got trapped in the maze and couldn't find the way out." Teng Qingshan immediately instructed. "Yes, you guys rest first. Second Small Team, bring out the food and let them eat first. " The members of Second Small Team took out the hot food from their bags and passed it to the soldiers of First Small Team.
As for Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu, the three of them, they walked towards the short cliff.
Teng Qingshan looked around. Seeing that there was no one, he pointed to the cave. "It's there!"
"It's really well hidden. It's on the cliff, and it's even covered by vines!" Ji Hong laughed. "In such a big Blazing Mountain, there are countless small peaks. Who would climb the cliff to find it? Even if they paid attention to the cliff, it would still be difficult to find this hidden cave. Alright, Qingshan, you're in front."
Teng Qingshan carried the Reincarnation Spear on his back and leapt nearly ten Zhang high. With another tap of his feet, he arrived at the entrance of the cave and quickly entered.
"Qingshan's Qing Gong is really not bad." Ji Hong praised.
Guan Lu snorted and similarly leapt up. Unexpectedly, she was also eight or nine Zhang high. She tapped on a protruding rock on the cliff and also flew into the cave. Ji Hong looked around and quickly entered as well!
… …
The deep and serene crevice, the dense mist, and the blazing lava flow, all of this caused Ji Hong and Guan Lu to exclaim in admiration. Especially the high temperature of the lava flow, which made Ji Hong and Guan Lu fearful, they both stayed a few Zhang away from the lava flow. It wasn't that they didn't dare to approach, but that they didn't want to waste their inner strength!
The closer they got, the more inner strength they would have to expend.
Who could be like Teng Qingshan, who didn't care about walking beside the lava flow? Of course, Teng Qingshan also followed Ji Hong and the rest, staying far away from the lava flow.
"Haha … it really is the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!" At the edge of the lava lake, the three of them looked at the Black Fire Spirit Fruit in the middle of the lava lake.
"Qingshan, you've done a great service." Ji Hong laughed happily.
"From today onwards, we'll come in every morning and afternoon to take a look. Once it's ripe, we'll immediately pick it. Don't let the Red Scaled Beast snatch it away! "Ji Hong said solemnly." The Black Fire Spirit Fruit grows in this place, so the Red Scaled Beast must come here frequently. Moreover, the Red Scaled Beast should have reached maturity, it's more than two Zhang tall … a single Postliminary Realm warrior wouldn't be able to threaten it. Only an Innate Realm warrior or a group of Postliminary Realm warriors would be able to deal with it. "
… …
Just like that, Teng Qingshan and the rest looked the same as usual. It was just that every day, Ji Hong, Guan Lu, and Teng Qingshan would quietly and carefully sneak into the cave twice. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. After all, Teng Qingshan and the rest couldn't be sure when the Black Fire Spirit Fruit would mature.
Just like that, three days passed.

Wu Dai was a warrior who liked to roam the world. With countless warriors gathered at the Blazing Mountain, he would definitely participate in such a grand event. But to him, the various challenges and vendettas every night made him excited. As for searching for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit during the day, it was a little boring.
"With my strength, even if I obtain the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, I won't be able to keep it." After searching for a while, Wu Dai found the peak of a mountain and lay down contentedly under a big tree, enjoying the mountain breeze as he took an afternoon nap.
"Is there a voice?"
Wu Dai opened his eyes and with a flip of his body, he climbed to the side and looked down into the canyon. Sure enough, there were three people together.
"It's not Commander Ji Hong of the Gui Yuan Sect. That's Teng Qingshan … and that girl …" Wu Dai's eyes lit up and he immediately retracted his head, peeking down through the weeds. He saw Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and that girl quickly scuttling into the cave on the other side of the cliff.
Every time, the three of them would look around, as if to see if there was anyone else.
"Eh! So cautious, and that place is so hidden! Could it be that … "Wu Dai's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even more radiant." I, Wu Dai, have been around for so many years, it seems that my luck is about to change! "
