"Heh, it seems I really underestimated these two guys."
A playful and sinister laugh came from the black fog. "He was able to kill the Three Calamities Ancient Tree, the Indestructible Bone Dragon, and the Venerable Tianli. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated."
"But if you want to challenge me just because of this, it would be too naive."
"Mountain God, you should wait for their arrival at the border of the courtyard."
"When they defeat the lava statue and come to challenge me, you will act according to the plan."
"After these two guys are killed, I will fulfill my promise and let you take over the four guardians and become the true mountain god of the ancient forbidden land."
"Yes!"
The mountain god smiled flatteringly and nodded, then turned and left, floating out of the temple.
Looking at the volcano erupting in the distance to the north, the mountain god narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
"If you hadn't planned to challenge the mountain god and just went home, we could have lived in peace."
"But since you are stubborn and insist on being the enemy of the Holy King, then as a member of the Ancient Forbidden Land, I have no choice but to help the Holy King annihilate you."
……
On the other side, Ye Qing had already arrived at the volcanic area of Beiting with Bai Xianer.
After officially arriving in Beiting, every wisp of air was filled with a scorching hot breath, making it difficult to walk.
Ye Qing's mind moved, and he summoned a protective shield to cover the two of them before continuing to move forward.
This protective shield is made entirely of the fire of the divine general.
The Fire of the Divine General, as the most powerful flame in the world, can basically completely block out the temperature of the Beiting Demon Fire.
And the stone monsters around originally intended to attack Ye Qing, but they were blocked by the fire of the God General and were completely out of reach.
Under the protection of the Divine General's Fire, Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er were able to travel unimpeded and directly reached the deepest part of Beiting.
At the deepest point is a tall volcano, towering into the clouds and emitting demonic energy.
Scarlet magma seeped out of the crater, and the color looked like blood, which was chilling.
Ye Qing checked the contents of the jade slip and murmured, "It seems that this is the lava volcano we are looking for."
"The lava statue of Beiting's guardian is hidden inside the lava volcano."
"If you want to force the lava statue to appear, you must attack the lava volcano with all your strength, and the crater will spew out various stone monsters."
"After dozens of eruptions, there is a certain probability that the lava statue will appear."
Bai Xian'er was stunned when she heard this, and said worriedly, "So... isn't it very difficult to kill the lava statue?"
"After all, these monsters in the lava volcano are all stubborn stones with strange attachments. Not only are they powerful, but their defense is also amazing."
"We have to kill at least a few dozen stubborn stones before we have a chance to fight the lava statue."
"We had already used up a lot of our spiritual energy by then. How could we defeat the lava statue?"
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If this is the only way to defeat the lava statue, we have no other choice."
"After all... no matter how difficult this method is, it is much easier than the way we dealt with Venerable Tianli before, isn't it?"
Seeing Ye Qing so optimistic and free and easy, he didn't take the difficulties in front of him to heart at all.
Bai Xian'er looked serious and said, "My benefactor, I have a solution!" "Oh?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What method?"
I saw a white light flash in Bai Xianer's palm, and she summoned a magic weapon and placed it on the ground.
This is a large cauldron made of steel, with a rich white light all over the body. There are dense lines engraved on the cauldron, which exudes a long and ancient powerful immortal power.
Ye Qing asked, "Miss Xian'er, what is this?"
Bai Xian'er explained, "This is one of the oldest treasures in our fairyland, called the Demon Refining Cauldron. You can throw demons into the cauldron to refine and purify them."
"Back then, my father used the Demon Refining Cauldron to kill many demons who were captured alive but could not be killed or indestructible, and there was nothing we could do to them."
“Even the demon can be refined, so the demons in this lava volcano will definitely not be able to resist the power of the Demon Refining Cauldron!”
"it is good!"
Ye Qing nodded and grinned, "In that case, let's cooperate well."
"I will guard the crater, and whenever a monster erupts from it, I will throw it down."
"You can use the Demon Refining Cauldron to catch the monsters in this volcano one by one and refine them all!"
Immediately, Ye Qing leaped forward, summoned the fairy sword Jingyun in his hand, poured his spiritual power into it, and blasted out a sharp sword light.
The sword light hit the surface of the lava volcano, and disappeared in an instant like a drop in the ocean, failing to cause any ripples.
However, the next second, the lava volcano in front of him and the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble slightly without any warning.
It was as if a giant creature that had existed in the world for countless years had finally awakened from its slumber and stretched lazily.
The lines on the lava volcano emit dazzling red light, and the strong evil spirit makes people tremble.
The next second, a fierce flame erupted from the crater and shot straight into the sky.
The flame bloomed in mid-air and turned into a shooting star that fell from the sky, instantly dispelling the darkness in the sky and making it seem as if it were bright daytime between heaven and earth.
Ye Qing summoned the God's Fire to protect his body, isolating himself from the scorching heat of the flames.
He stared at the crater in front of him, determined not to let any fish escape.
After about half a minute, more than a dozen pillars of fire were ejected continuously, and the first monster finally appeared.
The stone monster in this lava volcano is even larger than Ye Qing had imagined.
This monster was like a calf, with a twisted shape and covered with sharp spikes, looking extremely creepy.
There were more than a dozen eyeballs in the two eye sockets, all of which were staring at Ye Qing, revealing their sharp spikes, with the intention of smashing Ye Qing into a meat patty or piercing him into a sieve.
"Ugly freak, get out of here!"
A smile appeared on Ye Qing's lips, and he waved his hand slowly and grabbed the two largest spikes on both sides of the monster with both hands.
These stone monsters were burning with flames mixed with evil spirits. Ordinary people would have their hands burned if they touched them.
But at this moment, Ye Qing used the Fire of the Divine General to protect his entire body.
He grasped the stone monster's spikes, neither hurriedly nor slowly so as not to contaminate himself. Instead, he directly absorbed some of the evil spirit from the other party, making the stone monster unable to resist at all.
Ye Qing glanced down and saw Bai Xian'er had already set up the Demon Refining Cauldron and was waiting. A smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Go!" (End of this chapter)
