After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ye Fan had already connected all five of the wells in this earthen city.
Each of the five wells was over three hundred feet deep into the ground, and the water was sweet and refreshing like a gushing spring.
"There's … water …!" Ye Fan cupped his hands around his mouth and roared into the sky!
After shouting, Ye Fan tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leaped into the air. He landed on top of an abandoned earthen building not far away.
Ye Fan's voice was imbued with spiritual power, and it was extremely loud, and it instantly spread throughout the entire earthen city.
Moments later, a large number of people flocked toward the earthen building from all directions!
When they saw a large amount of water gushing out from the dried-up wells, the crowd went crazy!
Everyone scrambled to hold the water in their hands and gulped it down!
"There's water! We have water, hahaha … "
"We're not going to die, we're not going to die …"
People yelled into the sky excitedly as they allowed the gushing water to drench their bodies.
"There's water in the other wells as well! There's water in all of them! "A few people who had rushed over from other wells yelled in unison!
The crowd erupted into an uproar again!
"May the heavens bless us, may the heavens bless us …" A white-haired old man knelt to the ground and kowtowed to the heavens piously.
In his eyes, the fact that five wells were gushing out sweet water at the same time was a blessing from the heavens to his people.
Ye Fan looked down at the raucous crowd below with a faint smile on his face. He then turned around and leaped down from the earthen building before slowly making his way toward the woman's residence.
He did not care if the people here knew the truth or not, nor did he care if he would be praised and left behind in history. To him, as long as he could do something for the people with his cultivation, he was already very happy. As for the rest, he did not care at all.
When he returned to the earthen building where the woman was staying, Akatsuki was rolling up her sleeves and helping the woman carry ice cubes into the house.
Upon seeing Ye Fan return, Akatsuki put down her work and asked, "Is everything done?"
"Yes," Ye Fan replied. "From now on, there will be no shortage of water here, and we will no longer depend on the weather for food."
The woman walked out of the house and said to Ye Fan with a smile, "Benefactor, you have helped the common people. In the future, you will definitely have many children and live a long life."
"I hope so." Ye Fan smiled. He rolled up his sleeves and began to help move the ice.
"Mister, you are kind and benevolent. You help the people and don't seek merit or profit. You are truly admirable."
Just as Ye Fan was helping to move the ice buckets, a man's voice sounded from outside the door.
Ye Fan put down the ice bucket in his hand and turned around.
He sensed that the person outside the door had an extremely dense Spirit Qi and an earthy aura.
There were also traces of poisonous gas mixed in with the earthy gas.
Clearly, the person outside was the Scorpion Spirit. Moreover, this Scorpion Spirit was a poisonous scorpion with profound spirit energy.
"I have been waiting for Mister Xie for a long time. Please come in," Ye Fan said in a clear voice.
"This Xie is ugly and the poisonous gas in my body has not dissipated yet. I do not dare to enter a private residence, so I ask for Mister's understanding. We will meet outside the door." The voice outside the door sounded again.
After Ye Fan heard this, he slowly nodded.
"Hong Ji, you and Xiao Zhao accompany Miss Dong upstairs. I will go out and take a look." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"Okay." Akatsuki nodded and pulled the stunned woman upstairs.
She had already guessed that the person outside the door was the Scorpion Spirit.
Most scorpions were poisonous. The slightly poisonous scorpion venom could paralyze a person or cause unbearable pain. The more poisonous scorpion venom could cause a person's organs to fail and instantly die.
The person outside the door was a Scorpion Spirit that had cultivated for eight to nine hundred years. One could imagine how poisonous it was.
The woman surnamed Dong was also confused at this time. She did not know how ugly the person outside the door was. He did not even dare to enter the door.
Ye Fan tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and lightly leaped, flying over the wall.
There was a man standing outside the door.
The man was wearing a dark brown robe, dark brown cloth boots, and dark brown gloves. Even his head was wrapped tightly with a dark brown scarf, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes.
The skin that was exposed next to his eyes was purplish-brown, looking very scary.
Ye Fan finally knew why the Scorpion Spirit said that he was ugly.
To be honest, this guy was so scary only revealing his eyes. If he removed the scarf and showed his true face, anyone who saw him would be scared out of their wits and avoid him.
In addition, this person's body was covered in a faint purplish-brown mist.
The fog was faint and did not dissipate from the man's body for a long time.
Ye Fan understood that this purplish-brown fog was the poisonous gas that the Scorpion Spirit said had not dissipated completely.
However, Ye Fan did not feel uncomfortable at all.
He had seen Incheon Daxiong's disgusting appearance before, not to mention the Scorpion Spirit in front of him.
"Zijing greets Mr. Eldritch." The Scorpion Spirit bowed to Ye Fan and said in a respectful tone.
"Brother Zijing is too polite." Ye Fan helped the Scorpion Spirit up and said, "I'll have to trouble Brother Zijing this time."
"Sir, what are you saying?" The Scorpion Spirit looked up at Ye Fan and said, "It's my honor to be able to serve Mr. Eldritch."
"I'm no longer the Eldritch of the past. Brother Zijing, you don't have to be so polite." Ye Fan smiled faintly and said.
"Hahaha … Eldritch is Eldritch. Even if he reincarnates thousands of times, he will still be Eldritch," the Scorpion Spirit said with a smile.
Ye Fan smiled and did not say anything.
"I heard from Brother Wu that you want to find the volcano with the powerful boundary that we encountered back then?" the Scorpion Spirit asked Ye Fan.
"That's right," Ye Fan replied.
"Is the thing inside the boundary really the divine cauldron?" the Scorpion Spirit asked Ye Fan with bright eyes.
"Why? Brother Zijing is also interested in the divine cauldron? "Ye Fan asked the Scorpion Spirit half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The Scorpion Spirit was stunned at first, then laughed.
"Hahaha … Sir, you misunderstand me," the Scorpion Spirit said to Ye Fan with a smile. "I like to collect rare treasures, but I don't dare to have any improper thoughts about the divine cauldron. Such a divine item is not something someone like me can touch. To be honest, I would be satisfied if I could see the divine cauldron. "
Ye Fan smiled after hearing this.
This Scorpion Spirit was just as the Centipede Spirit had said. He liked rare treasures and rare treasures.
"Where is that volcano?" Ye Fan changed the topic and asked the Scorpion Spirit.
"About eight hundred kilometers west of here, there is an active volcano called the Spirit Flame Mountain. The boundary is inside the volcano, but …" the Scorpion Spirit stopped.
"But what?" Ye Fan asked.
"Sir, do you know why the volcano is called the Spirit Flame Mountain?" the Scorpion Spirit asked Ye Fan.
"Why?" Ye Fan asked.
"Because the flames in the volcano can penetrate spirit energy, so the Demon Realm named the mountain the Spirit Flame Mountain," the Scorpion Spirit said. "Back then, Brother Wu and I attacked the boundary directly above the volcano. As a result, the power was reflected, and the magma that gushed out penetrated our protective spirit energy. We almost died there."
"It can penetrate spirit energy?" Ye Fan frowned after hearing this.
One had to know that what he was most proud of was his Spirit Qi cultivation.
He did not know if the magma of the volcano could penetrate his spirit energy.
"Not only that, but the temperature of the volcano is also very high. I wonder if Sir can enter it?" the Scorpion Spirit asked Ye Fan.
If they wanted to find the divine cauldron in the volcano's boundary, they had to enter the volcano's magma through the mouth of the volcano and go all the way down.
The Scorpion Spirit knew that Ye Fan had survived the Heavenly Tribulation during the Demon Slaying Conference, but he did not know if Ye Fan could deal with the magma in the Spirit Flame Mountain.
"Whether I can go in or not, we'll know when we get there." After pondering for a long time, Ye Fan said to the Scorpion Spirit, "Brother Zijing, please lead the way to the Spirit Flame Mountain."
"I'm at your service. Sir, please come with me." As the Scorpion Spirit spoke, he flicked his sleeves and instantly turned into a breeze. He rushed straight into the sky and whistled toward the west.
"Hong Ji, take care of Xiao Zhao and Miss Dong. I'm going to the Spirit Flame Mountain." Ye Fan first mixed his voice with the spirit energy, and then the spirit energy flew into Akatsuki's ears in the earthen building.
After saying that, Ye Fan's body flashed and disappeared from his original spot.
Whoosh!
A group of Auspicious Clouds appeared out of thin air and followed the Scorpion Spirit at lightning speed.
"Ye Fan -kun … Ye …" Akatsuki opened the window of the earthen building and poked her head out. She was about to warn Ye Fan to be careful.
However, Ye Fan's movement was too fast. Before Akatsuki could finish her words, Ye Fan's Auspicious Clouds had gradually disappeared.
"Phew …" Akatsuki exhaled heavily and closed the window again.
High in the sky, the Scorpion Spirit and Ye Fan were flying at high speed.
Although the Scorpion Spirit was ugly, its movement was really good. The breeze it turned into was not slower than Ye Fan's Auspicious Clouds. It was as fast as lightning!
Ye Fan urged the Auspicious Clouds and followed closely behind.
He did not show off his excellent movement to the Scorpion Spirit, nor did he surpass it. Instead, he kept a distance of about ten meters from the Scorpion Spirit.
The two did not talk much and focused on hurrying.
In less than half an incense stick's time, a gigantic volcano appeared in Ye Fan's line of sight.
This volcano was nearly a hundred meters high and was reddish-yellow in color. It was extremely huge.
As the Centipede Spirit said before, within a radius of more than ten miles around this volcano, there was a piece of dry stone and no grass.
A lot of heat emitted from the volcano's crater distorted the surrounding scenery.
At this time, although Ye Fan was high in the sky, he could already feel the blazing heat below.
Whoosh!
The Scorpion Spirit, who was flying in the air at the front, instantly revealed its human body.
"Sir, the volcano below us is the Spiritual Flame Mountain." The Scorpion Spirit slowly stopped and turned its head to Ye Fan and said.
"This Spiritual Flame Mountain is really hot. It lives up to its name." Ye Fan put away the Auspicious Clouds and looked at the volcano below as he spoke.
"I can only send you here." The Scorpion Spirit turned its head to Ye Fan and said, "If we go further, we will be directly above the crater. This volcano is very unstable. It's hard to say when it will erupt. We should be careful."
"Brother Zijing, wait for me here. I'll go check it out." Ye Fan said and urged the Auspicious Clouds to slowly float forward.
"Sir, be careful …" The Scorpion Spirit warned Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, who was far away, waved his hand as a reply.
