When the old man's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, the latter was also staring at the person in front of him. The burning 'Heavenly Flame' in his body had an impulse to break out of his body. That kind of special movement made Xiao Yan immediately confirm that the red-faced old man in front of him was the original form of the 'Heavenly Flame' in Huo Xing and Huo Xin's body, the Volcanic Rock Flame!
"Little friend, it's all thanks to you that the two of them are able to survive this time! "
Withdrawing his gaze from Xiao Yan, the old man immediately smiled at Xiao Yan with a gentle face. The latter naturally did not dare to be careless. He smiled modestly and hurriedly said respectfully,
"Senior is too polite. With your means, even without junior's help, the two of them will naturally be fine." "
"Hehe, little friend is really low-key." "
The old man smiled and turned around to open the way. He waved his hand and Xiao Yan quickly followed.
"Since you are here, you should recognize the original form of this old man …"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. The old man continued, "Let's not talk about this in a roundabout way.
"If that's the case, the two of us won't beat around the bush. I'm Huo Qing, the guardian of these two little fellows. You've seen the wreckage. It's lifeless. Huo Xing and Xiaoxin are the last flames of the Fire Banyan Tribe. ""
Xiao Yan's gaze swept around. This place was indeed as he had guessed in his heart. It was the interior of the Fire Banyan Ruins!
Under the lead of Huo Qing, the group of four quickly arrived at the depths of the ruins.
"This is … Limestone Valley?" ""
Xiao Yan involuntarily let out an exclamation as he eyed this somewhat strange enormous valley in front of him. His mind immediately associated it with the so-called Limestone Valley map from the auction. Seeing this, Huo Qing by the side opened his mouth slightly and immediately sighed.
At this moment, the place that appeared in front of Xiao Yan was shockingly a valley with a steep terrain. A dense darkness shrouded its depths, causing one to be unable to clearly see the situation within. The air was filled with a desolate and bloody scent. At a glance, there were quite a number of damaged buildings that were still standing within the valley. The traces left behind by the flames of war on the mountain walls on both sides could clearly be seen. Broken bones were everywhere in one's sight. They had yet to step in, but that shocking murderous aura actually pounced toward the four of them like a ghost.
"Weng …"
Then, with an inexplicable trembling sound, a gust of cold wind dissipated. Huo Qing lightly tapped his cane, and a circle of light shot forward from under his feet. In the depths of the dark valley, a bright path gradually appeared.
"Let's go." "
Huo Qing said in a calm tone. Only then did Xiao Yan notice that the cane in the old man's hand was actually a complete Fire Banyan Branch!
Shocked, Xiao Yan did not hesitate and quickly followed. At the same time, Huo Qing slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Back then, the Fire Banyan Clan opened up this space under the magma of the earth. Since then, this old man has been a guest of the Fire Banyan Clan and has been living here. Unexpectedly, in the great war that followed, it actually became like this. My clan was exterminated, the Fire Banyan Branch was wantonly plundered, and the remains after the war were also treated as hot treasures by the people of the outside world.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Not only were the people in the Flowing Fire Plains here, even he was here for the Fire Banyan Ruins.
….
The old man appeared to have guessed what Xiao Yan was thinking in his heart. He laughed softly and said,
He chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Right now, this place is just a wasteland. What treasures can there be …"
As he spoke, Huo Qing suddenly paused, and even his footsteps paused for a moment. His gaze paused for a moment on the mountain where Huo Rong and his sister were. Then, he lifted his foot and said slowly:
"It's just that this Limestone Valley … I didn't expect it to happen at this time. "
Huo Qing sighed somewhat helplessly. Xiao Yan had learned from his mouth that the Huo Rong siblings had been living under Huo Qing's protection in the Limestone Valley within the Huo Banyan remains for many years. With the black fog blocking them, even an ordinary Yuan Zun would not dare to enter. They were still considered safe. However, many years ago, an Yuan Zun had coincidentally barged into the Limestone Valley. After a couple of lucky encounters, the map of this place was stolen by that person.
Now that the map had been leaked, various forces had gathered in the Flowing Fire Plains and were ready to make trouble. Limestone Valley would no longer be their refuge, but before that, Huo Rong and his sister still had a matter to settle.
As the few of them walked out of the small path, a huge stone cave in the depths of the Limestone Valley appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.
Half of the cave was occupied by a gigantic Fire Banyan Tree. Its roots were intertwined and stretched out, covering the entire cave. However, this Fire Banyan Tree had long lost its vitality. Its broken branches were scattered, and there were large traces of burning on it. Even the lower part of the tree that was connected to the ground had its stem dug out by an external force!
"This is …"
"The Fire Banyan Spirit Tree, also known as the Fire Banyan Tree, is the foundation of the entire Fire Banyan Clan. "
Huo Qing's old face was filled with sadness as he spoke. His pair of deep eyes also seemed to be recalling something. Beside him, Huo Xing and Huo Xin had respectful expressions. Although the divine tree was already dead, the admiration in their hearts had never been erased.
Afterwards, Huo Qing, who had retracted his thoughts, suddenly returned to his previous stern attitude. He punished Huo Rong and his sister to sit cross-legged under the tree to meditate, while he and Xiao Yan walked to the edge of the cave. The two of them sat on a hanging tree root. Only then did the old man's scarlet face reveal some reluctance as he looked at the siblings sitting under the tree in the distance. Xiao Yan also faintly sensed something.
"Little friend Xiao Yan, this old man has a matter that I hope I can entrust to you." "
Suddenly, Huo Qing turned to Xiao Yan and cupped his fists with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was startled and hurriedly jumped down to the ground. He bowed and cupped his fists, saying,
"Junior can't accept senior's courtesy. This time, I am indebted to senior for his help. If you need anything, just say the word. Xiao Yan will do his best!" "
Huo Qing took a deep breath, then sighed softly and said, "I understand.
"This old man understands. You were able to save the two of them on the plains only because of the Volcanic Rock Flames in their bodies …"
Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly, but had no words to refute. The former did not care and continued to speak.
"No matter what your reason is, you still saved them. This kindness is something that this old man and the Fire Banyan Clan owe you." "
After saying that, Huo Qing did not wait for Xiao Yan to speak. He immediately stretched out his cane and gently tapped the air in front of him. With a thought, a circle of invisible ripples quickly spread out. After a few breaths …
On the Flowing Fire Plains, under the countless Fire Banyan Trees, the Fire Banyan branches seemed to have been summoned. With a tremor, they sank into the depths of the magma.
In the end, a small mountain made of Fire Banyan branches appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
