Did no one reveal the real reason for the crater's exact location? Was it because they were all eaten?
But the limbs should be the fastest to digest after eating, so if anything is left, it should be the skull and skeleton.
"Calm down first." Zhao Xi instinctively felt that Xiao Ding was overly frightened, so she patted his back and asked, "Did you notice anything else? What kind of animal did that monster resemble?"
Xiao Ding bit his finger and tried to recall.
After being swallowed, everything went completely black; I couldn't see anything. I heard a rumbling sound I couldn't understand, along with a strange gurgling sound.
If he hadn't been a cultivator who could hold his breath, he might have suffocated to death.
Later, when Zhao Xi tried to call out to him a few times, the monster actually spat him out.
He didn't see a single hair of it, let alone describe what the monster looked like.
"N-I don't know..."
"..."
Absolutely amazing!
They don't even know what kind of demon it is, and they don't have anything to attack with. They can't fight it head-on, let alone defeat it. The only way is to run away.
But they were like the bottom of a well, surrounded by jagged cliffs. It was a bottomless abyss, and the higher they went, the wider the opening became, and they might even encounter other monsters.
Given Xiao Ding's current condition, even if he manages to reach the top, he won't be able to withstand the monster's attack, and he might be devoured to death by the monster.
They hid behind the boulder, whispering their plans, but the monster did not emerge from the lava.
Zhao Xi boldly used her foot to hook the nearby Spirit Fire Glaze over.
After waiting for a while, the lava calmed down considerably, and the monster seemed to have completely rested.
Xiao Ding boldly ran out and retrieved all the spirit fire glass from the entire crater for Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi wanted to turn Xiao Ding back to his original form, so she plucked some of his dog hair, crossed her legs, and braided it into a rope. She then tied the Spirit Fire Glaze into a large crab and hung it around Xiao Ding's neck so that she could take it up with her when the time came: "I don't know if I'll even make it up there alive."
"Yes! Brother Xiaojia will definitely come to save us!" Xiao Ding helped braid the rope, fearlessly plucking hair from his own body.
Can they really come to save them?
But quite a while has already passed.
The earthquake below is one thing, but the tremor just now didn't seem to be caused by this monster. It was more like an explosion caused by some monster stubbornly resisting in the middle section.
She subconsciously touched the necklace around her neck, her heart sank, and a chill ran from her feet throughout her body.
My neck is empty.
When she ran away with Tongyue and the others, she touched her neck; Guagua was still alive then.
If this lava can melt magical artifacts, what if Guagua gets melted by the lava too? She's just a child!
Zhao Xi stumbled to the edge of the lava, ignoring the possibility of monsters lurking below, and looked down.
This magma isn't water; it glows red and flows slowly, making it impossible to see anything below.
"Headmistress!" Xiao Ding followed.
"Don't come any closer!" Zhao Xi looked up and saw a slightly flat, protruding rock nearby. "Climb up there and hide up there."
"But……"
"Take care of yourself first. Don't worry, I'm the most powerful mortal you've ever met, aren't I? Hurry up!"
Urged on by Zhao Xixiang, Xiao Ding, with a long face, jumped onto the high platform and peered down.
"Don't come down to save me! If Xiao Jia comes, don't bother with me!"
Zhao Xi wanted to take a deep breath and jump into the lava.
*
thump--
The baby fell into the lava, where the lava was glowing and hot everywhere.
She swam in the lava, took a breath, and suddenly discovered that the lava was filled with fire elemental energy.
It's good stuff!
The fire elemental energy on her mother's body was far purer than that in this abyss volcano! But when she hung around her mother's neck, the amount she was given each day was limited. Ever since being turned into a little frog by her father, she hadn't had many opportunities to hunt on her own; if she hopped out, her mother would easily spot her.
Finally, there's a buffet!
Swallow~ Slurp~
Using the fire elemental energy of the magma, she transformed back into a mermaid flame, happily devouring food in the magma.
At the bottom of the magma lies a demon with even greater spiritual power.
The little frog hadn't considered the danger; it was focused solely on feasting. It swam over to the monster and licked it.
Slurp—
I can't absorb any spiritual energy, but it feels slippery.
The demon's voice was old and trembling, but it excitedly confirmed: "Is it Your Highness?!"
Guagua tilted its head in confusion, then its foot slipped and it fell from the lava into a cave below.
The cave is covered by a barrier, like a layer of glass, which seals the flowing magma above.
Inside the cave, there were tables, chairs, and even futons, suggesting that cultivators lived in seclusion there year-round. In one corner, the charred corpses of cultivators were piled together, emitting an unpleasant odor. Judging from their clothing, these cultivators included members of the Star Gate sect as well as inner disciples from other sects.
The little flame transformed back into a little frog, its big frog eyes looking around. Finally, it saw the old man who had fallen down behind it: "Quack?" Who is that?
The old man was thin and bony, wearing a red cloak. His eyes, as big as copper bells, fell to his knees upon seeing the little frog and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, I am so fortunate to have met Your Highness in my lifetime!"
"Quack!" You've mistaken me for someone else!
"There's no mistake! You can transform into a ball of flame, and you have the ability to swallow magma whole. Now that you've neutralized this fire elemental energy without a scratch, it proves that you are the God of Fire! Your Highness, please accept Fire Gulu's bow!"
"Quack?" What's so popular about that?
"Fire Gulu! My name is Fire Gulu, has Your Highness forgotten?!" The old man spun around in front of her and transformed into a fiery abyss toad covered in red thorns on its back.
Fire Toad: "Croak~"
Quack quack: "Quack~"
The fire frog and the little frog stared at each other, big eyes.
I never expected this strange old man living at the bottom of the volcano to have such an adorable name. But Guagua knows that this toad must have mistaken her mother for her.
She has already explained, but the other party doesn't believe her, so she can't be blamed.
The quack stuck out its tongue and licked itself, then jumped onto the prayer mat and turned back into a ball of fire.
"Croak~"
Let's start by serving you the best wine and food!
She has several original forms. If she were to transform from a toad into a human, it might take a long time. But if she were to transform from a ball of fire into a human, as long as she has enough spiritual energy and has inherited the memories of her father, she could transform into a human in no time.
Finding fire elemental energy in a volcano isn't difficult, is it?
Fire Gulu then performed a ritual on the magma, sending a large ball of fire spiritual energy in front of Guagua, muttering, "Your Highness, Fire God, you must recover your strength quickly. If you don't act soon, one of the Water God or the Rock God will surely become the main god of this celestial realm, and the gates of the Fire Prison that I have painstakingly guarded for thousands of years will surely be breached by them, and they will plunder all the spiritual energy you have accumulated over thousands of years!"
