Shang Yanting leaped twice in succession, and with his final sword strike, the Qian Yuan Sword pierced through the magma and plunged directly into the earth.

"Holy crap!"

To be honest, they were impressed by their junior's pose.

Thud—

The lava erupted again.

Sparks flew onto the golden armor, the flames hissed, but the armor remained unharmed.

As expected of a Radiant Gold weapon!

Junior brother really showed off to them.

A massive splash of lava came crashing down, and Shang Yanting grabbed the raccoon and leaped down quickly.

"Run!"

The senior students behind them were a step behind, but they followed closely behind.

They ran all the way to the mountainside, panting as they looked at the slowing lava flow behind them, but cheered again when they saw the trial token in Shang Yanting's hand.

I got a trial token the very next day!

"Let's go find someone else now."

There are too many flames now, so there's no way to go up and find a second one.

"I bet we'll be the fastest."

The senior brothers were extremely excited to receive the first trial token, as they hadn't expected Junior Brother Yan to be so capable.

"Go up again."

Shang Yanting led Jia Xitong forward alone.

There's only one Flaming Mountain, so the two trial tokens can't be too far apart.

"Can I store the puppet in your spatial storage?"

"What?"

Jia Xitong's bristling hair blocked her vision, and the booming sound of a volcanic eruption interfered with her hearing.

"Keep the puppet safe!"

After saying that, he started charging.

Going against the flow of magma.

Jia Xitong instantly put the raccoon away, and his soul returned to his sea of ​​consciousness. His wide field of vision showed that there was fiery red lava all around him.

He moved through the sea of ​​fire.

The splashing lava stuck to the armor, sizzling under the intense heat.

The time it took to move forward felt both short and long.

Finally finding the second trial token, Shang Yanting emerged from the sea of ​​fire, his armor covered in black stones formed from solidified magma.

"Junior brother is awesome!"

The four senior brothers stared at the trial token in Shang Yanting's hand, both shocked and excited.

Only Jia Xitong released her little puppet, controlling the raccoon to frantically pull at his armor, shouting, "Take it off quickly!"

Upon seeing this, Shang Yanting reached out and tore it off, the armor falling off along with his clothes and flesh.

He was instantly covered in blood.

hiss!

She knew it; this golden armor was fireproof but not heat-resistant, and it was already cooked through!

The four senior brothers were so busy celebrating that they gasped when they saw the gruesome wound.

They hurriedly rummaged through their bags for medicine, and Jia Xitong fed them two incantation talismans in one go. When it came to the third talisman, Shang Yanting slightly turned his head away, saying, "That's enough."

ah?

His voice echoed in his mind, "I only have one talisman left."

"What?"

The raccoon paused for a moment.

Shang Yanting silently took out several talismans from his bosom, most of which were scorched and burned.

The damaged talisman is unusable, and the supplies inside, as well as the talismans she's accumulated from completing tasks, are all unavailable. Therefore, she has to save the talismans she has on her for later use.

Shang Yanting lost so much for just two tokens... what a huge loss!

His face, already pale from blood loss, turned even paler, and his tightly pursed lips showed how angry he was!

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Your health is the most important thing!"

Jia Xitong comforted him, holding a water bottle almost the same size as herself to feed him water, and then used clean water to clean his wound and apply topical hemostatic medicine.

Simple words of comfort are useless.

The male protagonist, who hadn't suffered such a great loss in a long time since being betrayed, was extremely depressed.

He had a stern face when he was bandaging the wound, a stern face when he went down the mountain, and a stern face when he was on his way. Especially when he looked at the two innocent tokens, it was as if he had some deep hatred for them, which made the other four senior brothers walk very cautiously.

It was truly unexpected that Long Aotian, who was in a state of chaos and despair, would make such a foolish mistake, walking numbly in the cold wind while wearing a disciple's robe with holes in the cotton.

So pitiful, yet I also want to laugh.

"Dear host, your next task is to lead Qing Shuang Peak to the top two in the Four Peaks Competition."

Task completion reward: 1 Mi Su Charm, 2 Zhu You Charms, 2 Explosion Charms

After saying that, she silently pulled a thick new cotton coat from her small cloth pocket. "Health is the foundation of everything, so dress warmly and don't catch a cold! Besides, you can always earn more talismans. I'll be very sad if you're heartbroken, host!"

Shang Yanting paused, gently smoothing the burnt fur of the small beast in his arms with his hand. "Hmm."

[Congratulations to the mission participant for gaining 2 points of trust from the male lead. Current trust value: 69/100]

##

Even worse off than Shang Yanting was the tenth senior brother.

His only clothes were burned away, leaving him with only a thin undergarment. He hadn't felt anything on the Flaming Mountain, but now he was so cold that snot was dripping from his nose and his teeth were chattering.

"Tenth Senior Brother!"

Jia Xitong then took out a thick new cotton-padded coat and handed it to him.

At that moment, the tenth senior brother felt that the raccoon was glowing.

##

From the starting point to the Wrathful Demon Mountain, the disciples of Azure Frost Peak arrived a full half day earlier than those of the other peaks. They had already reached the summit, obtained their tokens, and descended from the north side of the Demon Mountain, while the disciples of the other peaks were arriving late and were still climbing from the south side of the Demon Mountain at its foot.

"The other peak disciples haven't arrived yet."

The disciples of Tianwu Peak, thinking they had gotten there first, were quite excited and climbed towards the summit with all their might...

Following the map, Shang Yanting led the others to the next mission location—

Thunderstorm Swamp.

The big pancakes that my senior brother prepared were all eaten in one day.
