"Look, Ning Zhuo shows up."
"Let's go!"
The two of them walked quickly and arrived at the intersection in advance, pretending to meet by chance, and ran into Ning Zhuo head-on.
"Ning Zhuo?" Ning Yong called out.
Ning Zhuo looked at the two of them, was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It's you, Ning Yong, Ning Chen."
These two people are Ning Zhuo's classmates.
Ning Chen pretended to sigh: "We haven't seen each other since the final exam. It feels like a long time has passed."
Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly: "Although time is short, if many things happen, it will naturally give the illusion that time is long."
Ning Yong: "I heard about your story. After the exam, you had a falling out with your uncle and aunt, and you were unwilling to accept their help."
"You live alone now. Is it difficult?"
"What can I do to earn spiritual stones to support my practice?"
Ning Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "I am currently doing odd jobs in a mechanical workshop. What about you guys?"
Ning Yong chuckled and said with some pride: "We have joined the Monster Hunting Club!"
"We are purchasing supplies to leave the city. Tonight we will go into the monster cave with the seniors of the Monster Hunting Association to hunt monsters."
"How's it going? Exciting, right?"
Ning Zhuo opened his mouth slightly in surprise: "You want to enter the Red Flame Demon Molten Cave? Isn't this too dangerous?"
"What are you afraid of? What can you accomplish if you are afraid of death?" Ning Yong puffed out his chest with a look of disdain on his face. "At such a young age, you should go out and explore. Without taking risks, how can you get the benefits that surpass others? Without money to speed up my cultivation, when can I build my foundation?"
Ning Chenze said, "Don't listen to his boasting. There are cultivators from our Ning family in the Monster Hunting Association. Have you heard of the name of Master Ning Zhanji?"
"We will enter the cave under his guidance. Tonight is the low tide period of the earth flame, so it is very safe."
Ning Chen tried his best to dispel Ning Zhuo's worries.
Ning Zhuo showed a look of envy.
Ning Yong looked at it and directly invited him: "Take my word, Ning Zhuo, you should stop doing the work in the workshop. Just come down the cave with us."
"How many treasures are hidden in the Demonic Melting Cave?"
"How much can you earn in a week? Maybe you harvested a spiritual plant in the Red Flame Demon Cave, which is enough for your weekly salary!"
Ning Zhuo shook his head and waved his hands, refusing: "My swordsmanship grades have always been in the middle or lower range. It's too dangerous to fight monsters. I can't do it."
"Coward!" Ning Yong glared and was about to speak.
Ning Chen stopped him with his eyes, and said to Ning Zhuo with a smile: "If I were you, Ning Zhuo, I would go back and admit my mistake to my uncle and aunt, and ask them to use their connections to send me into the family business. The treatment here is definitely much better than any job outside!"
Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head, showing his youthful spirit, and said firmly: "Since it has come to this, I will never give in like this."
Ning Chen chuckled: "If I were your uncle or aunt, what would I think if I saw you being reduced to living in an inconspicuous little workshop?"
"Maybe he's thinking: Look, Ning Zhuo is so ignorant, without our help, he can only live in poverty and gradually fall to the bottom among the monks!"
Ning Zhuo immediately frowned and his face turned gloomy, as if his defenses were broken.
Ning Chen smiled inwardly and tried again...
A moment later.
Watching Ning Zhuo's departing figure, Ning Yong said, "Ning Zhuo's grades are better than ours, but what's the use? He just fell for our provocation and agreed to join us tonight."
Ning Chen sighed: "Ning Zhuo is just like us, ordinary people."
"Put yourself in his shoes. If I were him, I would also fall into the trap if someone deliberately plotted against me."
Seeing his companion in low spirits, Ning Yong consoled him, "Although Ning Zhuo is our classmate, we are now under the command of Master Ning Zhanji. This time, Master Ning Zhanji personally gave us the order. Compared with our future, this friendship between classmates is nothing. We are not familiar with him on weekdays!"
Ning Chen shook his head slightly: "Forget it. This way, we can finally give an explanation to Master Ning Zhanji."
"Let's go."
In the evening, Ning Zhuo arrived at the meeting point alone.
Ning Yong smiled and led him in.
Ning Chen brought him to Ning Zhanji.
Ning Zhanji was a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and long eyebrows. He looked Ning Zhuo up and down, expressionless: "Since you are all members of the Ning family, I will take care of you this time and arrange for you to join the team."
"But remember, all actions must be subject to my orders and arrangements."
"Junior understands!" Ning Zhuo said hurriedly.
Information about Ning's fighter jet quickly flashed through Ning Zhuo's mind.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Many years ago, the Ning family began to consciously send cultivators to various organizations inside and outside Huoshi Xiancheng.
Ning fighter jet is one of them.
He is a very strong fighter, decisive and resolute. He is able to seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, and thus stands out. He is a general-type figure.
This time, Ning Zhanji was asked by Ning Ze to take money from him, so he sent Ning Chen and Ning Yong to provoke Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhanji looked at Ning Zhuo twice, then withdrew his gaze and evaluated in his mind: "The third level of Qi Refining, nothing special."
Soon, all the people gathered, totaling more than fifty people.
Most of these people were surnamed Ning, and a few outsiders were also closely related to the Ning family.
Ning Zhanji led everyone and began to march towards the Red Flame Demon Cave.
Huoshixiancheng is a typical mountain city.
Most of the buildings in the city are concentrated on the hillside. The higher you go towards the city center, the higher the terrain becomes. The center is the crater on the top of the mountain. The lower the terrain becomes, the longer it stretches to the foot of the mountain.
Ning Zhuo and his group climbed up from the middle of the mountain, passing several checkpoints along the way, and the inspections they underwent were also very loose, and finally reached the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, the spiritual energy became noticeably thicker and hotter.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and was quite pungent.
Although it was night, the crater was still emitting bright flames. With the help of the light, Ning Zhuo saw bursts of white smoke floating above the crater.
In the white smoke, there were many smoke larks flying around and darting in and out.
Ning Zhuo and others came to the edge of the volcano.
Looking down, you can see a wide, flat rocky area in the crater.
The red rocks are constantly emitting scorching heat. Some of the red rocks are closely connected, while some have cracks between them, under which flows bright orange-red magma. There are also many holes in the rocks.
Some cave entrances spew flames from time to time, some cave entrances flow out magma, and some cave entrances are bottomless, which are roads leading to deeper underground.
The mountain wall and the rock ground are almost vertical, and the entire mountain wall is glass-colored and extremely smooth. This is obviously a trace of human intervention, and the entire crater is like a huge open cup.
As he went towards the center, Ning Zhuo discovered that the number of cave entrances on the surface of Hongyan was increasing, and the sizes of the cave entrances were also getting larger and larger.
Finally, his gaze fixed on the very center of the rocky area.
There, there is a lava lake.
