C829 There must be Something
Xiao Yan knit his brows slightly but did not mind it. After all, this little bit of warmth was nothing in front of him now that he had trained until now.
However, being in this environment still made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
He opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings. He found himself in a valley.
There were many crops in the valley, but most of the leaves were either red or yellow, and the surroundings were filled with volcanoes.
He could clearly feel through his soul perception that the hot air was coming from the surrounding volcanoes. This situation was very similar to where the Ancient Phoenix Clan was.
"Is this the third floor?" Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with a strange color. His soul continued to gaze into the third floor as he began to carefully sense the traces of humans in his surroundings.
It didn't take long before he felt it too, so he led his group over.
He discovered that when he went from the lower level to the higher level, he wasn't far from the tribe. Including right now, they didn't notice the existence of a village for a long time.
This village was quite big, and the other houses were all built with stones. At a glance, one could tell that they were extremely sturdy.
The village was surrounded by trees, and the trees were all fruit trees with red fruits hanging from them. It looked quite attractive.
Zhang Fan's eyes were filled with surprise as he said, "We still need to find the villagers." He then swept his gaze around and noticed that there were some people picking fruits on the trees. He also walked over.
When he arrived at the forest, he coincidentally saw a person jump down from a tree.
Zhang Fan looked over and saw a middle-aged man with fiery red hair. He had an unswerving determination and a cold aura, so he said, "Hello, big brother."
This simple sentence immediately caused the man to turn around. After seeing a few people, his gaze fell on the few people behind him.
"Beautiful girl!"
"Hello, big brother."
"Beautiful ladies, what's the matter?" The man looked at the girls behind Zhang Fan as he asked. His gaze, which was originally deep with sword intent, was suddenly filled with light. It was vastly different from what he could sense in front of him.
"Big Brother, I'm speaking up for you." Zhang Fan said helplessly.
"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?" The man's gaze swept over Zhang Fan, and his expression immediately became cold. The difference between the two of them was quite large.
The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth slightly twitched. 'What kind of people are these? Isn't this too weird?'
Although he was thinking this way, he still said politely, "Big brother, we came up from the second floor, Shennong. Can we meet with your clan leader?"
"You are Shennong?" The man couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
"No, we are from outside the pagoda," Zhang Fan explained, shaking his head.
"Hehe, what a joke. Outsider of the tower, I haven't seen anyone outside for hundreds of years!" The man immediately laughed, then said, "You want to find our chief, right? That's it. You can just go and find him."
The man pointed in a direction as he spoke.
Zhang Fan lifted his head and saw a red-haired old man standing not far from him. His gaze shifted as he looked at the man and said, "Thank you, Big Brother." After speaking, he led the seven of them over.
When he arrived behind the red-haired old man, he saw that the old man was looking at him with a serious expression.
"Are you the chief?" Zhang Fan asked the old man when he saw him.
The old man turned his head and swept his gaze over the girls. His gaze couldn't shift away. He didn't even bother to look at Zhang Fan at this moment.
Stretching out his hand to adjust his hair, the old man asked, "Ladies, are you talking to me?"
"Senior, it's me who is speaking to you?" Zhang Fan's mouth twitched. This old man before him appeared extremely strict. Why did he become like this now?
Hearing Zhang Fan, the old man turned his head and glanced at him, then looked at those few girls and said, "My dear ladies, I am the chief of Zhu Rong family. What can I do for you?"
The girls looked at each other with awkward looks on their faces. They didn't say anything, but their gazes fell onto Zhang Fan at the same time, waiting for his reply.
"Patriarch, hello. We are from outside the tower. After passing by the Xuanyuan clan, Shennong came to the third floor," Zhang Fan said with the corner of his mouth slightly twitching.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the old man's gaze landed on him and he said, "These people are your wives."
When the old man asked this question, it caused Zhang Fan's expression to tense up. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
As his voice faded, the girls' faces turned rosy and red. Chen Wanliang's face also turned red, looking extremely adorable.
"I'll go and take my knee!" The old man's eyes widened, and his face was filled with jealousy and hate.
"Eh …" Zhang Fan was stunned when he discovered that the old man had actually knelt down towards him. However, his expression changed and he used his soul power to lift the old man up. "Senior, what are you doing?"
"Seven madams!"
The old man mumbled to himself as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then, he looked towards Zhang Fan and said, "I want to acknowledge you as my master."
The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched once more. His helpless expression deepened as he said, "Senior, I'm from outside the tower. I have a mission to complete this time, and I still need to go to the fourth floor. I'll be there soon."
"Eh, who are you all here?" The old man was stunned. At this moment, he carefully sized up the people around him as he asked in confusion.
Three black lines appeared on Zhang Fan's forehead. The old man intentionally shrugged helplessly and repeated, "Senior, we are outsiders. We also went through two levels to get here."
"An outsider of the pagoda came here and passed the Xuanyuan clan and Shennong clan. In that case, you are the prophet's son?" The old man asked.
"Yes," Zhang Fan nodded.
The old man's expression changed instantly and he quickly straightened his clothes. His expression immediately became cold again. "What is good? I didn't expect you to be able to come here through two missions. It's enough to see your talent and strength."
The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched. Wasn't this old man changing his facial expressions a little too fast?
"Senior, I want to know what I want to accomplish on the fourth floor." Zhang Fan didn't want to waste any more words, so he directly asked.
"The same task, but with different content and different understanding concepts."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, that old man seemed to have become serious. At this time, he directly said, "I have to take you to Zhu Rong's forbidden area to have a look."
"Can we do it now?" Zhang Fan asked directly.
Because he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, because he felt strange.
"Of course!" After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but cast a glance at Zhang Fan. At this moment, he approached Zhang Fan and said in a low voice, "But how did this woman get her hands on him? Teach me."
The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched once more. The old man was already so old, and it was all thanks to him having the heart to think about it. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, "His character, looks, and charm …"
"Charm due to her looks"
Hearing these three words, the old man furrowed his brows, then said, "Do I look like I do?"
"Senior does have it, but I need to work even harder." Zhang Fan was too embarrassed to say more, so he simply replied.
"Is that so?" The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that. "You have a good eye. You have a bright future. No wonder you could become the prophet's son. You're really amazing!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to our forbidden area, the Zhu Rong Country," said Ji Hao as he led the way out.
Zhang Fan naturally brought seven other people with him and closely followed.
In the past, he could be considered to have passed by the village. Many people were looking in his direction, but most of them were not looking at him. Instead, they were all looking at the seven people.
The reason he decided to complete the mission as soon as possible was because he wanted a few people to not live in the village and instead wait for him. This was because if he sent a few people into the village, he would always feel a bit worried.
Arriving at the bottom of a volcano, the old man also had the seven of them wait outside for him and walk in alone.
The more he entered, the hotter he felt, including the fact that even though Zhang Fan's cultivation was quite high, he was still sweating profusely. For a moment, he thought that the temperature here was completely different from normal.
After going in deeper, Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed. What appeared before him was an extremely narrow stone bridge. Underneath the stone bridge was surging lava, which was extremely eye-catching.
As for the temperature, it reached an extreme point. Zhang Fan wished that he could soak himself in the cool water and breathe the fresh air.
However, he didn't. The current situation didn't allow him to feel anything.
"Very well, you may proceed. Your mission is also very simple. Accept the tempering of the Fire Spirit. After you reach the requirements, the magma in this place will dry up," The old man said.
"Smelting of the fire spirit?" Zhang Fan's gaze flickered again. After taking a deep breath, he nodded heavily. "Senior, I understand."
"Mm, do your best!" The elder nodded with an unspeakable expression of seriousness, but soon after, he couldn't help but say, "I really have the three things you said just now."
"Senior, do your best! There will definitely be one!"
