At dawn, as agreed, Hunting Flame and his companions arrived at Frost Peak.
The volcano was still churning with heat waves. Su Yuan didn't come along, or rather, only a few of them who were supposed to go back came here.
If the teleportation array works, we'll only be apart for a few hours, so there's no need for him to come along. If it doesn't work, this meeting will only add to the sadness.
"Let's go, they'll be here soon."
After taking one last look at the world she had only been in for half a year, Shouyan hugged the teleportation array disc in her arms tightly. To prevent any accidents, she had even asked Su Yuan to prepare two.
Another one was in the storage necklace. If Su Yuan hadn't repeatedly persuaded her, she probably would have wanted to prepare a few more.
In the crater, amidst the lava, a black object is slowly rising, its violent shaking causing the surroundings to tremble, resembling a volcanic eruption.
The familiar black platform appeared from within, and without hesitation, everyone glanced back at the world before jumping onto it.
"Goodbye, Moon Pivot City, goodbye, Su Yuan... Wow!!! Goodbye, my favorite honey-glazed baked buns, meat sauce noodles... wine, the Great Bathhouse..."
When she opened her eyes again, the strange smell of the environment made her frown.
Even the last time they came back from underground, it wasn't this bad. Suppressing the nausea in his chest, Shouyan led everyone to jump out of the black volcano beneath their feet.
The sky was completely black, with only a red sphere hanging above, bringing not warmth, but a scorching heat that burned the skin.
Looking around, they saw no one waiting for them below the volcano, which made Shouyan feel uneasy.
"Lord, where are they? Why hasn't anyone come to pick us up?"
"Let's go back first!"
The group quickly headed towards the territory. Before she left, everyone in the territory had gathered up and hidden themselves, trying their best not to go out and provoke others.
However, it's not impossible for people from other territories to find their way here. In the Netherworld, it's perfectly normal for fights to break out at the slightest provocation.
Not long after leaving the volcano, Shouyan led the group to a gloomy red forest. The path ahead was heavily blocked, and some blood-red vines were quietly approaching from all sides.
"boom!"
Without wasting any words, Shouyan threw a ball of flame beside the tree roots, startling the giant red trees into retracting their vines and creating a gap about half a person's width in between.
"Who... lord?"
A small red head peeked out from inside, its face covered in scales, with only its eyes showing.
"My lord, you're finally back! Something terrible has happened! The old lord..."
"What's wrong with my mother?"
Shouyan's heart skipped a beat. Before she could finish speaking, she immediately squeezed through the gap and rushed towards the ravine. Several of the stone houses around had been reduced to ruins. After arranging for Shouying and the others to leave, she went into a stone house alone.
"Mother......"
"Xiao Yan, you're finally back! I missed you so much! If you hadn't come back, I would have gone up there to look for you."
Inside the room, a woman who bore a resemblance to Shouyan, but with slightly darker skin, lay on the bed, looking languid and seemingly unharmed.
"Are you alright? I just heard Xiaoliu and the others talking about you..."
"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's just that the old rock demon led people here, we fought them, and now the poison has seeped deep into his body, and he's about to die."
