Zhao Yingjie and the other disciples were also dodging the large rocks falling from above, while Ye Feng didn't actually need to dodge at all.
With his strength at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, these falling rocks posed no threat to him whatsoever. He didn't even need to actively try to break them; the falling rocks couldn't even penetrate his protective true energy.
However, in order to conceal his strength, Ye Feng avoided the rocks just like the other disciples.
Just then, Ye Feng heard a scream.
Li Qingyan was also hit by a large rock and fell from the sky.
Ye Feng could ignore others, but he would never turn a blind eye to Li Qingyan.
Ye Feng immediately chased after Li Qingyan, wanting to rescue her.
However, at that moment, the mountain trembled again, and more rocks fell from above, densely like a rain curtain.
Several stones came crashing down on Ye Feng, slowing his pursuit of Li Qingyan.
I don't know how much time passed, but the shaking of the mountain finally stopped.
Ye Feng looked around and found that he was the only one still in the air. Everyone else, including Li Qingyan and Zhao Yingjie, had disappeared!
Did they all fall into the lava below and perish?
No, it's also possible that they fell into those densely packed caves.
The night wind gave a bitter laugh.
I never expected this mission to be so dangerous, and such an accident happened during the mission. Life is truly unpredictable.
However, the night wind did not waste any time and immediately descended, landing at the entrance of these caves.
These grottoes were almost all irregularly shaped, making it impossible to determine which cave Li Qingyan had entered.
Moreover, the volcano's interior was filled with violent spiritual energy, which greatly affected Ye Feng's divine sense, making it difficult for him to find Li Qingyan's whereabouts.
It seems we have no choice but to enter these caves to search.
Night Wind thought to himself, then strode into one of the caves and headed deeper into it.
The cave is winding and the interior is extremely dark.
The night wind stirred up a ball of fire, and the light emitted by the fire finally illuminated the interior of the cave.
Ye Feng did not travel very fast. After all, no one knew what dangers might be hidden in these caves. Even though Ye Feng was a martial arts master at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, he naturally had to be careful.
Oh right, I probably won't be able to go back tonight. I need to let Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing know so they won't worry.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng took out a communication talisman and sent it out.
However, after the message talisman was released, although it turned into a golden light, it kept circling around the night wind and could not get away.
"Even communication talismans aren't working? This is really troublesome." Ye Feng smiled bitterly.
He put away the communication talisman and continued forward in the night wind.
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly rang out.
Ye Feng immediately stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw that the ground inside the cave suddenly began to rise, and the next moment a fiery red beetle emerged from it.
The beetle that emerged was about the size of an adult's palm. Its body was bright red, and there was even a halo around its shell, making it look as if flames were slowly burning on its body.
Upon seeing the insect, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
Because this insect is also a demon beast, called the Crimson Flame Spirit Beetle. Although it is not of high grade, only a third-grade demon beast, its shell is a good material for making spiritual weapons and can be used to refine defensive spiritual weapons.
However, precisely because of this, the Crimson Flame Beetle's carapace has excellent defensive capabilities, and martial artists below the Qi Movement Realm simply cannot break through its defenses.
Night Wind could certainly break the Crimson Flame Beetle's shell, but he definitely wouldn't do that. After all, the most precious part of the Crimson Flame Beetle is its shell. If the shell is damaged, what use is it?
Fortunately, the Crimson Flame Beetle has a weak point: its head. Although the Crimson Flame Beetle can retract its head into its shell to protect its vitals, it is still possible to attack its head if the opportunity is right.
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Beetle emerged from the ground and looked at Night Wind, letting out excited squeaking noises as if it had spotted a sumptuous feast.
Immediately afterwards, a series of screeching screams echoed throughout the entire grotto!
One after another, the Crimson Flame Beetles emerged from the ground and then pounced on the Night Wind.
"Want to eat me? You probably don't have the ability."
Night Wind let out a soft laugh and summoned Lei Ji to thrust out his sword.
With a soft thud, five Crimson Flame Beetles were instantly pierced through the head by Ye Feng's sword, their bright red blood flowing down and staining the ground crimson.
Night Wind drew his sword again, and six more Crimson Flame Beetles died on the spot.
As time went by, more and more Crimson Flame Beetles died. When the last Crimson Flame Beetle also died at Ye Feng's hands, Ye Feng was surrounded by the corpses of Crimson Flame Beetles.
A rough estimate suggests there are at least a hundred of them!
Night Wind collected the Crimson Flame Beetles one by one and put them into his storage ring before continuing on his way.
Not long after Ye Feng left, he discovered a medicinal herb.
This medicinal herb looks like a mushroom, with a large cap covered in cloud-like patterns.
"Fire Cloud Mushroom? Not bad, not bad."
The night breeze brought a smile to her face, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.
At the same time, Ye Feng understood why those Crimson Flame Beetles had attacked him so desperately after seeing him.
That's because these Crimson Flame Beetles weren't there to eat them, but to protect the Fire Cloud Fungus.
To these Crimson Flame Beetles, Night Wind was undoubtedly an invader.
But so what?
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and besides, Ye Feng is a human warrior while those Crimson Flame Beetles are demonic beasts. There is no morality between Ye Feng and them.
Night Breeze carefully picked the Fire Cloud Mushroom and put it into his storage ring.
Although Ye Feng can't use the Fire Cloud Herb now, not being able to use it and not having it are two different things. Moreover, Ye Feng will definitely go to the Heavenly Fire Sect to comprehend the Fire Element True Qi in the future.
Therefore, the fire cloud mushroom will come in handy at that time.
After putting away the Fire Cloud Herb, Ye Feng continued walking forward.
The night breeze traveled for a full half hour without any incidents.
As Ye Feng walked, he discovered that the grottoes here were almost all connected together.
In other words, no matter which cave you enter at the entrance, you can change the path inside and exit from another exit.
Just then, a sound came from ahead.
