After setting up camp, the sky gradually darkened and the temperature around him continued to drop. Cang Lin even felt a little cold wearing his summer clothes and was about to take them off, but as soon as he took them off, a wave of heat hit him in the face and he had to put them on again.
By late at night, the entire wilderness was cold, and people around began to move in twos and threes, and the activity of collecting volcanic crystals began in full swing.
Ximen Xuanyu touched the stones one by one. When he found a hot one, he happily chiseled it open, revealing an orange-yellow stone inside. This was volcanic crystal rock.
Everyone started looking for it. The method was very simple. As long as it was a hot stone, there would be volcanic crystal rock inside.
The difficulty was that almost all they touched were cold stones. Ximen Xuanyu said that the closer to the crater, the more volcanic crystals there were, so it would be better to walk inside.
Everyone started to walk in again. The further they went in, the more they found a few pieces. Everyone put them into the newly made fire-attribute storage ring.
Yingmi wears this ring because she wants her to walk less.
After a while, everyone found a lot and started to sit on the ground to rest.
"I say, this stone is really easy to find. If I buy it, it shouldn't be expensive, right?"
Yuan Jun was playing with a stone and talking idly.
"That's right, one piece only costs 100 low-density magic crystals."
"What? Why are we going through so much trouble? Why not just buy it?"
"I'll show you how life is, otherwise these few days of waiting will be so boring."
If Ximen Xuanyu was a young man, he would have been beaten long ago, but their elders could only endure it.
But Yingmi jumped up.
"This trip is in vain. I can't bear it. I want to go see the crater and see what wonders there are."
Yuan Jun also strongly agreed.
"That's right, let's go around and see if there's a volcano chicken and roast one."
"Brother, you're disgusting!" Cang Lin said with disdain. "I should look for some red cherry volcano chicken and prepare some for Hongwu."
Cang Lin's words were agreed by the two.
Ximen Xuanyu raised his head and said, "I'll dig for a while. You young people go ahead. Be careful and don't go too far from the crater."
Kong Qing also said: "I won't go either. I will accompany your uncle. You guys go early and come back early."
So the three happy little birds flew to the clouds of the volcano.
Along the way, the three of them flew upwards in Yingmi's small aircraft, taking their time and feeling very comfortable.
The scenery of the volcano is very monotonous, but there is always a magnificent beauty.
Soon they arrived at the crater, and Yingmi didn't know why the crest on her head jumped.
"Brother, Brother, why do I feel something is happening with my animal bones?"
Both of them were stunned after hearing this.
The animal bones reacted. What was going on? After all, the two of them had little experience and could not answer her questions.
"My animal bones jumped."
Cang Lin carefully observed Yingmi's crest.
Three crests stand upright on the top of the head, with blue fluff on the thin stems, and a crown the size of an elm seed on the top, made up of red, green and blue fluff, which is very beautiful.
This is a typical blue-feathered peacock crest. Cang Lin thought of some questions and asked them at this time.
"Little sister, why are you so determined? Are you the Phoenix Crown? After all, we have never seen a phoenix before."
Yingmi said very seriously: "Mine is the Phoenix Feather Crown. The Blue Peacock Feather Crown is just an illusion. One day, everyone will believe that I am the one with the Phoenix Feather Crown."
"How are you so sure?"
"My second brother doesn't believe me"
"No, I'm just curious. I just observed your animal bones, and there seems to be a golden edge on the fur of your crest. The edge seems to be spreading, wanting to swallow up other colors."
"Yeah, right?"
Yingmi expressed her feelings quickly as if she had met a close friend.
"I discovered it a long time ago, so I believe that my feather crown will eventually turn golden, and then I will be a phoenix."
Cang Lin caressed Yingmi's head lovingly.
"It doesn't matter. Big Brother and Second Brother will definitely make you a demon. Whether you are a peacock or a phoenix, you will be our treasure."
"It's Phoenix, Phoenix"
"Okay, Phoenix."
"Ha ha ha ha"
"Boom boom"
After a few people had been playing happily for a while, they suddenly heard a loud noise.
Thick smoke was seen coming out of the crater, and the red magma inside was bubbling up as if it was boiling.
"Oh no, the volcano is about to erupt"
The three were startled and quickly jumped onto the aircraft and flew down. In an instant, magma meandered down from the crater like several fire dragons.
Ximen Xuanyu and his brother had just taken a short break and were about to resume mining when suddenly the ground shook and almost knocked them down.
Then, fire snakes swooped down from the distance.
"Oh no! The volcano is erupting! Xiaolin and the others are still up there. They don't have flying mounts. Go and rescue them!"
After saying that, Ximen Xuanyu summoned bats and flew up the mountain in a panic with Kong Qing.
Everyone along the way was very confused. Everyone was running down, so why were these two people running up?
Yingmi's small aircraft was too slow. Before it could fly for a short distance, it was hit by the gushing lava. The three people fell down and landed on the open space between two lava streams.
At this time, Cang Lin was extremely glad that he bought a heat-proof suit instead of a vest.
Uncle said that it is not time for the volcano to erupt yet. It seems that nothing is absolute.
The three of them got off the aircraft and started running wildly. The two lava streams quickly widened and flooded the blank area.
Yuan Jun shouted loudly: "If I can't keep going for a while, I will release the mother and child stones, and you two will just step on the stones and pass by. When the time comes, you must race against time and don't hesitate."
"No, big brother, you and Yingmi are going to take the Mother and Child Stone. The Mother and Child Stone must be controlled by someone. You have to go up, but only two of you can go. I'm enough. You know I'm very capable, so you can go without worry."
At this time, Yingmi cried and said, "No, you two go away. I came to see the crater. If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened. Don't worry about me."
As they were speaking, the magma behind them seemed to flow smoothly, and it rushed down and immediately reached the feet of the three people.
