It was not known whether Xue Kong and his four companions escaped in time, or whether the magic flames of the Red-bearded Dragon were blocked by Zhang Xiang's magic weapon. They fled all the way and did not see the coming of the flames.
However, after escaping for a long time, someone soon discovered that something was wrong.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Zhang Xiang? Why is he gone?" Dianlong stopped running and looked back. It was quiet there, without any sound.
"His cultivation is higher than ours. It's impossible that we all escaped while he was left behind," said Hao Miaojun.
Xue Kong's eyes flashed, revealing a pensive look.
After a moment, he took a step forward and said with a smile, "Why don't you go ahead and wait for me at the end of this passage. I'll go find Fellow Daoist Zhang Xiang and then return to meet you."
"You?" Mo Tong immediately gave him a questioning look.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Xiang is the most advanced cultivator among us. If we don't find him, we might not be able to continue our journey to this secret realm."
Xue Kong said this, and without waiting for these people's consent, he turned around and walked back.
The remaining four people looked at Xue Kong's departing back with different expressions. No one thought that what he had just said was true. There might be a deeper meaning in it that they had not expected.
However, along the way, apart from being chased and the unexpected appearance of the red-bearded dragon, has there been anything unusual?
Oh, by the way, Zhang Xiang’s inexplicable disappearance is also difficult to understand.
Although they knew that Xue Kong seemed to have discovered something, they did not have the courage that Xue Kong had. He dared to go back even though he knew that the Red-bearded Dragon was there.
This is a gamble.
Xue Kong walked away from the crowd, his face calm. He continued walking forward, musing, "Hao Miaojun is right. It's impossible for Prime Minister Zhang to be left behind."
"Then there's only one truth... He left the team on his own accord. As for the reason..."
Xue Kong's eyes were cold: "Return to the original place, and you will find the answer."
"Red-bearded Flood Dragon... I seem to have forgotten something. I remember someone having a connection with this Red-bearded Flood Dragon. Who was that person..."
“…”
With doubts in his mind, Xue Kong followed the passage all the way back, and finally returned to the place with the magma pool after a quarter of an hour.
The air here was filled with a feeling of dryness and heat. Xue Kong's breathing became slightly rapid, and he could hardly breathe.
He looked up and around.
There was no Zhang Xiang figure in sight, but instead there were many monks with unfamiliar faces, standing at the exits of different passages, staring at the magma pool from afar.
Obviously, they were attracted by the huge commotion caused by the red-bearded dragon just now.
"He really left alone. The red-bearded dragon is in this magma pool, but he went somewhere else alone." Xue Kong's mind moved, and the things that he felt were wrong before gradually emerged in his mind.
From the moment he was first invited by Zhang Xiang to hunt the dragon, he felt that it would be difficult to hunt it with the strength of these people.
Later, outside the extinct volcano, he saw so many Qi Condensation Great Perfection cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators. He subconsciously thought that these people knew of the other party's existence in advance and tried to win by overwhelming numbers.
The red-bearded dragon's cultivation level is only at the initial stage of foundation building. If there are enough foundation building cultivators, it is not impossible to kill it.
but.
After entering the extinct volcano, Zhang Xiang's words and actions did not give off the feeling that he was here to hunt dragons. Instead, it was more like...
"He just wants to bring us here, but his real purpose... is not the dragon, but something else." Xue Kong almost knew the truth after a brief analysis.
"Red-bearded dragon, dragon marrow..."
"It's him!" Xue Kong suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a figure gradually emerged in his mind.
That was the person who existed in his memory, not the one he saw in this life.
A simple young man with dark skin, always accompanied by a faceless woman. This person left a deep impression on Xue Kong's memory.
"Wang Erlang." Thinking of this person, even Xue Kong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"It was this Wang Erlang who, during the fight with the Immortal Lady, swallowed the scarlet dragon marrow right in front of her. His cultivation increased dramatically, leaping from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage. Unfortunately, he was still killed by the Immortal Lady in the end."
"And I found the jade slips of the Yin Corpse Weeping Blood Formation in his storage bag!"
Xue Kong's breathing became slightly rapid, and all the memories in his mind came flooding back at once. The scenes from his previous life appeared clearly before his eyes.
"If the dragon marrow that Wang Erlang swallowed is the dragon marrow in the body of this red-bearded dragon, then it is not something I can touch."
"Although Wang Erlang's cultivation is only at the initial stage of foundation building, the Yin corpse beside him is at the middle stage of foundation building!"
"This place is extremely dangerous, we should leave quickly!"
If Xue Kong had only begun to think about retreating outside the extinct volcano, now he had almost made up his mind to leave here and not get involved in this mess.
Xue Kong turned around and was about to enter the passage, but suddenly stopped. After thinking about it, he did not enter the passage he had just walked out of. Instead, he walked to a nearby passage, picked one at random, and walked in carefully.
Since he had already decided to stay away from this place, he didn't want to encounter Hao Miaojun and others again, and was too lazy to waste time explaining anything.
"Wang Erlang is a pitiful man who has strayed into the devil's way. Although he has become cruel and ruthless, he is not a bloodthirsty person. Even if we met on the way, he would not attack me if he knew I was just leaving."
Xue Kong did not regret coming here.
This was a decision he had made before. As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. If he only went to absolutely safe places in this life, it would be difficult for him to go far in the path of cultivation.
However, he did guess what Zhang Xiang was thinking.
