A few days later, a small Assault Boat streaked across the sky outside the Crescent Mountain Fortress and flew straight into the depths of the Wilderness. Its destination was very clear: the Soul Subduing Lava Cave.
Less than two hours after the boat departed, two local Patrol Envoys flew out of the Crescent Mountain Fortress and stopped in the air as if they were waiting for someone. Not long after, a cultivator wearing the attire of the Feiyu Kenshū Sect flew out of the city and exchanged greetings with the two people present in the air. If Yi Tian saw him again, he would definitely recognize that the person who arrived later was Ou Jinglong, who had almost killed him in the past.
As for the other two, they should be disciples of the Feiyu Kenshū Sect that were on duty. After the three of them exchanged greetings in the air, they saw Ou Jinglong fly out of the Crescent Mountain Fortress with the other two, roughly in the direction that the Assault Boat had taken.
If Yi Tian knew that there would be such a variable in this trip, he definitely wouldn't have agreed. He could certainly escape from this person, but it would be hard to say if he had Hua Yuxin with him.
The Assault Boat rapidly flew through the air like a meteor streaking across the sky, heading straight into the depths of the Wilderness. Along the way, Yi Tian and Yan Rujun took turns driving the boat and recovering their spiritual power.
A journey of over thirty thousand kilometers wasn't short, but it took them nearly four days to reach the vicinity of the Soul Subduing Lava Cave.
The three of them didn't use the Assault Boat for the last thousand kilometers. Instead, they each used their own movement techniques to fly through the air and towards the entrance.
Although Hua Yuxin's cultivation was only at the peak of the mid-stage Yuanying Realm, she wasn't much slower. In addition, Yi Tian had deliberately slowed down, so Yan Rujun, who was leading the way, had no choice but to slow down as well.
Not long after, the three of them passed through an area covered in dark clouds. As they flew through the air, they could see that there were very few living creatures on the ground below. Yan Rujun, who took the lead, pointed at the valley ahead and said, "The Soul Subduing Lava Cave is in the valley. When we get there, follow closely and don't rashly touch the restrictions in the ruins."
Although these words were directed at Yi Tian, his intention was obviously to remind Hua Yuxin. He didn't expect that there would be so many variables on this trip, so it was better to say the ugly words first than to give advice after the fact.
Hua Yuxin pursed her lips and snorted coldly. Then, she turned to look at Yi Tian and secretly transmitted her voice to him, "Don't worry, husband. I know what to do. Always be careful."
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "Safety first. If you lose something, you can find it again. You only have one life."
After descending from the cloud, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the valley, only to see that the surrounding spiritual energy was somewhat muddy. Yan Rujun took the lead and shuttled back and forth on the small path. Yan Rujun took the lead and shuttled back and forth.
Based on his experience, he could tell at a glance that there should be a restriction array set up in this small path. He didn't know how Yan Rujun had probed before, but his footsteps always landed on the gaps of the restriction nodes, so there was no movement along the way.
Yi Tian immediately transmitted his voice to Hua Yuxin, "Follow my footsteps and don't step on the wrong path. Remember the nodes of this path in your heart. When you come out, you may need to go back the way you came." After saying that, he walked according to his memory and passed by the places Yan Rujun had walked before without making any mistakes.
Furthermore, he gently exerted force on his feet and left a mark on each node so that Hua Yuxin could follow him.
Soon, the three of them arrived outside the cave residence. In the blink of an eye, they saw that there was a golden halo outside the cave residence. If they wanted to enter, they had to break the restriction.
Looking at the stone tablet at the entrance, the words "Soul Subduing Lava Cave" were written in golden seal script. There were also some small words below. Yi Tian roughly glanced at it and had a plan in his mind. Unfortunately, the words on the stone tablet seemed to have been scraped by someone. He could only roughly read it and didn't know the exact situation inside.
He heard Yan Rujun say, "Let's quickly enter after opening the restriction. I can't hold on for more than ten breaths."
Yi Tian curled his lips and replied, "Fellow, just do your best. Ten breaths is enough for three people to travel together."
Later, Yan Rujun took out a token and poured his spiritual power into it. Then, he shone it at the restriction. With a "ka" sound, a gap the size of a table appeared.
Yan Rujun took the lead and rushed in, followed by Yi Tian, who was the second to enter. Hua Yuxin was the last to enter.
After the three of them entered, the restriction behind them closed up again. When they looked back, they didn't see any traces left behind.
"Let's go. There is a checkpoint that requires our colleagues to break." After Yan Rujun finished speaking, he chose a path and walked straight.
It seemed that he had been here before, so he was so familiar with the environment. Yi Tian's eyes flashed and he looked around. There were three paths here. Now, the three of them chose the rightmost path to explore.
Walking along the path, they seemed to be slanting all the way down. The surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher. It should be a sign that they were approaching the underground lava layer.
Yan Rujun, who was walking in front, didn't stop. Finally, he led the two of them out of the passage and came to an underground lava river. Then, he pointed at the path ahead and said, "After the lava river, we will reach the bottom of the first layer of the cave. I want to dig up a piece of Red Crystal Essence there. As for the information about the Heaven Grade treasure, I can tell you now. You can see it when you go down to the second layer. It's just that whether you can get it or not depends on your own ability. "
"Does my reward, the Red Crystal Essence, also need to be taken out by Fellow?" Yi Tian asked with a playful expression, "It seems that Fellow Yan didn't even prepare the reward this time. I really admire you for wanting to take it out on the spot."
In fact, he was also very angry. He didn't expect this guy to be someone who wanted to get something for nothing. He didn't even prepare anything before trapping him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Rujun didn't feel ashamed at all and said, "That's right. Fellow Daoist, don't underestimate this place. There are a large number of Crystal Blight Butterflies in the area where the Red Crystal Ores are. Their strength is about the same as the late Yuanying Stage. In a while, we will need to drive them out before we can work. "
After going through the information about the Crystal Blight Butterflies in his mind, he found that these creatures liked to live in crystal ores. Although they weren't weak, they weren't strong either. However, the Crystal Blight Butterflies would drop a large amount of crystal fragments. If they touched the body, they would immediately corrode the flesh. It was very difficult to guard against them.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian realized how troublesome this exploration would be. He didn't know how many Crystal Blight Butterflies they would have to face.
After discussing, the three of them took out their spirit tools and walked down the lava river with Yan Rujun leading the way. The three of them quickly walked along the path beside the cliff and soon arrived at the other side.
There were several paths that led to the cave behind them. Yi Tian used his divine sense and found that there seemed to be hundreds of weak spiritual energy detections in the cave three to four kilometers away.
When he saw Yan Rujun leading the other two in that direction, he felt his scalp go numb.
