Chapter 105
He Fanxin's brows jumped, and for some reason he felt a chill behind him.
He turned around to see who it was, but saw nothing.
He Fanxin shook his head and then continued talking to Ye Lan.
"The Hellfire Lotus is said to be in the deepest part of the Forest Abyss. However, demons are said to frequent this Forest Abyss. The deeper you go, the fewer cultivators come here. It took us years to learn this news. If it weren't for my sister's dying time, I, He, really wouldn't want to bother everyone to accompany me to this Forest Abyss."
Ye Lan nodded, but what he was thinking was, hey, you guys wouldn't believe it, there's a demon right above my head...
Along the way, Ye Lan and the others followed He Fanxin and walked for a long time according to the direction indicated by the map.
Finally, after walking out of the forest, I saw a hill with a faint glow of fire.
"Is this a volcano?" exclaimed one of the team.
They have been practicing in the sect all the time and rarely come to places like this.
This was the first time they had seen a volcano, and everyone was amazed.
Only Ye Lan shook his head, lamenting that these monks were making a fuss out of nothing.
What's so interesting about a volcano? It's just a mountain that spews fire. He had seen it many times before he entered the book.
He Fanxin's hand holding the map was shaking a little. Finding the volcano meant that their destination was not far away.
Everyone was excited, but there were two weirdos watching them from the side.
Leng Qingqiu still looked indifferent as always, watching them cheering from the back of the team, but Ye Lan poured a basin of water directly on their heads.
"You're getting too excited, aren't you? Look carefully. There are so many volcanoes here. Which one is the one we're looking for?"
Everyone's enthusiasm instantly died down, and they all turned to look at Ye Lan, who was making sarcastic remarks. Ye Lan looked at the somewhat disappointed He Fanxin with embarrassment and said, "Ahem, Brother He, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to take a closer look..."
He Fanxin quickly calmed down his emotions. He looked in the direction of Ye Lan's finger and sure enough, on the other side of them, there were countless volcanoes standing next to them, exactly the same as the ones he had seen before.
Yes, they were happy too early.
He Fanxin took out something that looked like a jade token from his arms, raised his hand and injected spiritual power into it.
The jade token emitted bursts of red light, and something wrapped in a long bright red thread floated out of the jade token.
He Fanxin was afraid that they might misunderstand, so he turned around and introduced himself to them.
"This is the jade token given to me by the cultivator who told me about the Hellfire Lotus. He said that if we reach the depths of the forest and can't find the Hellfire Lotus, I should use my spiritual power to activate this jade token, and it will lead us directly to the Hellfire Lotus."
The emotions that had just been chilled by Ye Lan rekindled, and Ye Lan raised questions again.
He felt something was amiss. "Brother Ke He, if that cultivator had the jade token and knew where the Hellfire Lotus was, why didn't he get it himself and give it to you? Instead, why did he make us go all the way there?"
He Fanxin was not angry. He nodded towards Ye Lan and said, "Yes, I also had doubts about this before. I also asked him why he didn't get it first and then trade with me."
"He said he had no idea the He family needed the Hellfire Lotus, and that this was something he had obtained by chance. He only gave it to He when he knew the He family was asking for information."
His words immediately dispelled the doubts of others. Ye Lan felt uneasy and always felt that something was wrong.
He secretly glanced at Leng Qingqiu behind him and found that the other party was also looking at him. Ye Lan had the illusion that he was seen through by him.
Ye Lan touched his face. That's right, the effect of the face-changing pill has not changed...
Then this traitor should not be looking at himself, but perhaps looking behind him. Yes, that's it.
Ye Lan was brainwashing himself. He mustered up his courage and slowly walked to Leng Qingqiu, pretending to look at the scenery nonchalantly.
No matter what, nothing bad should happen when standing next to the son of destiny who is protected by heaven.
He tentatively asked, "May I know the name of this monk? Thank you for your help before."
Leng Qingqiu looked at him for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Leng."
Ye Lan slapped his thigh and shouted, "Brother Leng, what a great surname! He really lives up to his name!"
[Cold, I think it would be better to call it refrigerated and frozen, which would be more appropriate.]
Leng Qingqiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Lan coldly, who was acting so pretentiously and exaggeratedly.
He couldn't explain it. He clearly didn't want to see this person, but when he saw him in trouble, he always wanted to go up and help.
The contradiction made him extremely distressed.
I don’t know what went wrong.
Ye Lan didn't know what Leng Qingqiu was thinking. After all, Leng Qingqiu's long face had only one expression for hundreds of years, not as gentle and elegant as described in the original text.
Ye Lan was used to Leng Qingqiu not speaking.
He pointed at the red light emanating from the jade token and said, "Brother Leng, do you think this red light is normal? I'm not very talented, but my sixth sense tells me, could this all be a trap set by that cultivator Brother He mentioned?"
Leng Qingqiu stopped raising his hand to cover Ye Lan's mouth, but he was one step too late.
The raised hand was lowered in anger, and the coldness emanating from his body became even stronger.
Ye Lan hadn't noticed anything yet and was still continuing to express his guesses.
"In my opinion, Brother He was eager to save his sister, and that person must have taken advantage of this. But why did he choose to go after the three of us?"
His voice unconsciously grew louder. He Fanxin walked towards him and directly explained, "This is what that cultivator instructed. He said that if I want to pick the Hellfire Lotus, I can't do it alone. I need four cultivators with gold spiritual roots, water spiritual roots, wood spiritual roots, and earth spiritual roots. Only then can they mutually cover and suppress the fire element in the volcano."
"Before I met you, Brother Ye, I had been searching for a long time but couldn't find the wood spiritual root. It was only when I was escorting you last time that I thought of you, Brother Ye."
Ye Lan: "No? Wood Spiritual Root? Me?"
He Fanxin nodded, and then he took out the jade token and said, "This is the jade token given by the cultivator. It can identify everyone's spiritual roots. Brother Ye, you said you had something important to do and couldn't come with me. I wanted to..."
Ye Lan raised her hand and interrupted him directly: "Stop talking, I understand! You're a spare tire, right?"
He looked at the jade token carefully, and always felt that this thing was unreliable. When did he, a person with water and fire spiritual roots, also develop wood spiritual roots?
How could he not know?
Anyway, no matter what, it’s just wood spiritual roots. Just agree to it first, so as not to arouse the speculation of Leng Qingqiu, the traitor.
