Chapter 273 This is a good turtle!
The Flame Witch shook her head, signaling Mo Fan not to have such thoughts, and Jiang Han, who knew the inside story, did not reveal the reason.
Having learned his lesson from Bocheng, Jiang Han dared not reveal the inside story casually. This time, Mo Fan was saved by Jiang Feng, which was most likely the work of the Origin Will. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? If he dared to reveal the relevant details at this time, he would surely be punished by lightning.
Mo Fan chatted with Jiang Feng for a few more minutes before going to eat, while Jiang Feng temporarily left due to certain matters.
The night sky was like a dark curtain, and the stars were like jewels adorning it. Jiang Han and Mo Fan ate instant noodles on the mountaintop and then lay on the ground covered with red leaves, gazing at the starry sky and occasionally complaining about each other's problems.
Meanwhile, inside the cave where Xin Xia and the others were hiding, the five of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after the rolling lava outside receded. However, because the cave was not very spacious, and poisonous gases could easily drift in after the lava receded, if Xue Ling hadn't sealed off the small cracks, the group inside would probably have already been poisoned and unconscious.
"The lava has receded. Let's go find Jiang Han and the others quickly," Zhao Manyan, who was constantly monitoring the situation outside, said.
Xinxia then had Xueling in her arms release the ice from the cave. After leaving the cave, Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan took the lead and cleared the way, while Lingling and Xinxia followed on the back of the Swift Star Wolf. Chenying brought up the rear with Li Chuzhu.
Jiang Han and Mo Fan were swept away by the lava. As long as they follow the direction of the lava flow, they will definitely be able to find them.
Magma is a liquid, and its distribution is very large. It actually flows rather slowly. This slurry-like substance easily gathers in a low-lying area and solidifies into gray-black volcanic rock after cooling.
If they don't find Jiang Han and Mo Fan before the lava cools down, it will be very difficult to find them again.
The group ran all the way to the bottom of the mountain but couldn't find the two figures, which made everyone feel heavy-hearted. To make matters worse, they encountered a huge problem at the place where they left: a huge two-faced tortoise demon. The two-faced tortoise demon is the second type of demon that lives here, after the Crimson Flame Demon Rat.
Like the Crimson Flame Rat, the Two-Faced Turtle Demon is a social animal. The Flame Rat survives here by virtue of its numbers, while the Two-Faced Turtle Demon relies entirely on its strength. Each adult Two-Faced Turtle Demon possesses the strength of a War General.
Just as Zhao Manyan drew his Shadow Sword to deal with the two-faced turtle demon blocking his way, another, even larger two-faced turtle demon emerged. Faced with two two-faced turtle demons blocking the way, Xue Ling, nestled in Xin Xia's arms, let out an unhappy cry.
Xue Ling loathed this environment. If it weren't for protecting Xin Xia, she would have had Jiang Han send her to the system space long ago.
"Roar!" The larger two-faced turtle demon roared angrily.
Jixinglang stared at the two-faced turtle demon opposite him, a human-like mocking expression appearing in his eyes. If he could speak, Jixinglang would definitely give this two-faced turtle demon a thumbs up. The last one who dared to provoke his sister Ling was already a pile of rubbish.
I guess I can try something different today and have some turtle meat. Thinking about it, Jixinglang couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.
The Swift Star Wolf was right. Faced with the provocation of this two-faced turtle demon, Xue Ling couldn't stand it at all. She reluctantly jumped down from Xin Xia's arms and then came to the two-faced turtle demon, waving her sharp little claws.
Looking at Xue Ling's outstretched little claws, the two-faced turtle demon's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery. In its view, Xue Ling's claws could not break through its defenses at all. However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. As Xue Ling's little claws swung down...
Blood splattered as the two-faced turtle demon's head was torn apart, its once disdainful and mocking eyes now filled with terror.
"Roar!" The two-faced turtle demon roared in resentment, hoping that other two-faced turtle demons would come to its rescue.
But the two-faced turtle demon next to it had already been so frightened that it had retracted its head into its shell. How could it possibly save it? Immediately, a chill spread, and the scorching air around it began to cool down rapidly. The two-faced turtle demon, whose head had been torn off by more than half, cried out weaker and weaker until it finally lost all its life.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" Xue Ling waved her little paws and pointed at Zhao Manyan, then at the lifeless two-faced turtle demon.
"What is this little darling saying?" Zhao Manyan asked Xinxia, who was perched on the back of the Swift Star Wolf.
Xue Ling is currently the strongest fighter in the team, so Zhao Manyan treats her like an ancestor and grants her any requests. The only person who can communicate with Xue Ling is Xin Xia, who is a mind-body type.
"Xue Ling wants you to finish dismembering the Two-Faced Turtle Demon quickly; she still needs to go find Brother Jiang Han," Xin Xia said, a smile spreading across her face as she finished.
"Have you found Jiang Han and the others?" Zhao Manyan asked in surprise.
Xue Ling called out twice more, and Xin Xia excitedly translated, "Yes, Xue Ling said she was able to sense Jiang Han's location just now, at the top of this mountain."
"Alright, monkey, come help." Zhao Manyan called Zhang Xiaohou to join him in dismantling the two-faced turtle demon.
Looking at the lifeless Two-Faced Turtle Demon, Swift Star Wolf couldn't help but shed excited "tears." This turtle brother was truly a good turtle; knowing that Swift Star Wolf had grown tired of eating Sand Howling Tiger meat, it had voluntarily offered its own body. How could Swift Star Wolf not be excited? How could it not be grateful?
Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou moved quickly, and within ten minutes, the gigantic two-faced tortoise demon was almost completely separated by the two of them. Just as the group emerged from the crevice halfway up Fire Pillar Mountain, they saw a group of people and horses approaching from afar.
"Wow, someone's already crossed the Sand River so quickly?" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed in surprise.
"Should we go and say hello to them? Maybe they can help us get to the top of the mountain," Chen Ying said.
"No, the most terrifying thing outside the Anjie Realm isn't demons, but the human heart," Lingling shook her head and refused.
"Lingling, aren't you overthinking it? Not all hunter mages are bad people. Besides, we have Xueling, our little darling. Even if there's a problem, we can get out of there in time. What do you think?" Zhao Manyan said.
"I think we can give it a try," Zhang Xiaohou said after thinking for a moment.
Xinxia whispered a few words in Lingling's ear before Lingling reluctantly agreed to Chenying's suggestion.
Just as the group was discussing whether to make contact with the group, the group drew closer and closer to their location.
When Zhao Manyan saw that the leader of the group was a middle-aged man with his hair combed back into a braid, his face immediately lit up with surprise. Chen Ying also saw the middle-aged man, but her expression was more complicated.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Zhao Manyan asked in surprise as he approached the man in the lead.
The man with his hair pulled back into a braid frowned slightly upon seeing Zhao Manyan, then glanced at Chen Ying, who was standing beside Zhao Manyan with her head down, and sneered, "This is ridiculous. Is this a place for brats like you?"
"Uncle, don't be in such a hurry to scold us. Two of our companions are in grave danger. Could you lend a hand?" Zhao Manyan said with a smile.
"We'll talk about it later, we have things to do right now," Zhao Yulin said, making excuses.
