The island country is not very far from China. At least Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li will arrive there in a while. Floating in the air and watching the people coming and going below, and thinking of those historical records, Zhao Hanyun felt itchy. Should he make something good to give to the people on this island someday?
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Hanyun's little face showed an angry expression. Zou Li stroked Zhao Hanyun's hair with a smile: "Let me do whatever you want to do, don't think about it yourself."
"I'm thinking about when to send a gift to this island nation!" Zhao Hanyun really didn't like this. His grandfather, who had passed away long ago, was forced to join the army. His father recalled that his grandfather once said that a shell fell directly next to him. Fortunately, the shell didn't explode, which saved his life. Therefore, Zhao Hanyun felt that if the island nation was still promoting those wrong ideas from the past, then directly...
"I'll go with you when I'm done."
FS Mountain is the highest active volcano in the island country. Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li arrived a little late, and the brilliant flowers that can be seen in March and April were no longer at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, with the fading sunlight, people also gradually disappeared from the holy mountain in their hearts. After admiring it enough, they could go home.
"Are you sure it's here?" Zhao Hanyun hated the mountain in front of him more than he could say. He hated it in an indescribable way. He had never been here before, so why did he feel such disgust? Zou Li said it was because Qiong Yu was inside.
"Just try it and you'll know." A small paper crane appeared in Zou Li's hand and gradually flew towards the top of the mountain in front. Zhao Hanyun stared at it until the paper crane suddenly caught fire in mid-air and disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
"Formation?" Zhao Hanyun glanced at the formation with disdain. He wondered if the so-called gods of ancient times were all exaggerated. Looking at the formation in mid-air, besides being able to smash those light objects, what else could it do? Even a bird could probably rush through it. "Could it be that the purpose of this formation is to serve as a warning?"
Touching the formation would attract the attention of the people inside. Zhao Hanyun waited for a long time but didn't see anyone coming down from above. Suspiciously, he released another small paper crane and made sure that it was dismembered halfway up the mountain before he started to walk up. As soon as he raised his foot, he was stopped by Zou Li.
"Let Snow White come out for a walk." Zou Li heard that the nine-tailed fox was a sacred beast revered by some people on the island country. He wanted to see if there were any other islanders there. After all, Qiong Yu did not leave alone. She had someone to help her. In Mulan's era, there were people following Qiong Yu. This time should be no exception!
Only Zou Li would probably let his pet take the lead. After Zhao Hanyun released Bai Xue, he also brought out the two-tailed black cat and forcibly detained it in his arms. He ignored the look in Zou Li's eyes and followed Bai Xue up the mountain. Based on his understanding of Zou Li, Zhao Hanyun felt that Bai Xue's biggest role was to be a hunting dog. After all, this guy had a relatively close contact with Qiong Yu (of course, if they hit each other, it counts!), and the breath was relatively familiar. Sure enough, as soon as they passed halfway up the mountain, Bai Xue's fur stood up.
"That damn Qiong Yu is on top!" Bai Xue sneezed violently as the smell entered her nose. She didn't know what that aunt the flower goddess had done over the years. The bloody smell on her body was very strong, and then there was some floral fragrance. This smell was simply a killer for these divine beasts with sensitive sense of smell. They would be suffocated to death!
"Just lead the way." Looking at the sneezing Bai Xue with disdain, Zou Li took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her: "Cover your mouth." To prevent saliva from flying everywhere, it would be very dirty!
"We're almost at the mountain pass." Zhao Hanyun stared at the crater that was about to appear before him, then turned to look at Zou Li and asked, "Will the volcano erupt when we go down later?"
"Oh! You're overthinking it!" Zou Li took the lead and stepped onto the crater. "This volcano has been silent for ten thousand years. I guess the energy inside has been almost completely absorbed by that woman."
With a look of disgust, Zhao Hanyun happily observed a moment of silence for Qiongyu. That woman! Hahaha, if Qiongyu heard this, she would be pissed off without Zhao Hanyun having to do anything. Which woman would be happy to hear that the person she secretly loves can't call out her name? She would either be pissed off or heartbroken to death.
As Zhao Hanyun and his group went deeper, they found themselves filled with solidified magma and red lava flowing through cracks. Strangely, aside from the slightly elevated temperature, Zhao Hanyun felt no discomfort. The pace of their walk was slow, and after about a kilometer, they saw no further road ahead.
"This way." Bai Xue, who could still smell something even with her nose covered, pointed to a clear path at the right time, the most obvious lava crack on the right.
When crossing the lava river, except for Xiao Hei's tail tip hair being burned off, the other three passed through very easily without any obstruction.
"It's a bit strange." There was no one along the way, no, there were no living creatures. Zhao Hanyun saw many dead flowers and plants along the way, and some trees also looked decadent. He originally thought it was a normal phenomenon in autumn, but now it seems a little abnormal. How could a tree be half dead?
"Be careful." Zou Li reminded Zhao Hanyun, and then walked behind Zhao Hanyun to be vigilant.
"It stinks!" As they went deeper and deeper, Zhao Hanyun could smell the disgusting smell without Bai Xue's reminder. It was not the fragrance of flowers at all, but the smell of blood, accompanied by the smell of decay. He took the handkerchief from Zou Li, looked at the remaining one in his hand, and the white cloth strips in front of Bai Xue and Xiao Hei's noses. It was good to have a mysophobia. At least he didn't have to worry about not having a handkerchief when he needed it the most. He took a deep breath, and a clear smell filled his entire nasal cavity. Zhao Hanyun felt much better.
"Mint." Zou Li has the habit of carrying mint with him. The cool smell can keep his mind clear at any time. His handkerchief and daily necessities also have the smell of mint. But looking at the way Zhao Hanyun took a deep breath just now, Zou Li felt as if he was being teased.
He didn't dwell on this question for long. As the smell became stronger and stronger, Zhao Hanyun finally saw something other than magma. The mummies dried by the magma and the bloodstains could not be considered other things. At this time, Zhao Hanyun was already shocked by the scene in front of him.
