The next day arrived quickly, and Shen Yunhao went to the underground cell as usual, with Xiong Da closely following behind him.
Shen Yunhao had already retrieved the power of the Vast Ocean Heart from Zhuzhu and placed it on Xiong Da to help him resist the blood energy underground.
Compared to ordinary healing and purification powers that can be restored simply by replenishing spiritual energy, the power of the Vast Ocean Heart Origin only has five strands... If it cannot be retrieved after being used, it will take several months to recover on its own.
As for the function of its source power, to put it bluntly, it's just a low-end version of the Vast Ocean Heart.
In terms of detoxification, while it's not immune to all poisons, it can easily resist 99% of them; however, its effectiveness in treatment is somewhat lacking...
However, it is perfectly suited for resisting the invasion of evil spirits and blood energy.
The dungeon is even colder and more gloomy than it was two days ago.
The blood-red patterns on the stone wall seemed to have spread further, and a faint fishy smell filled the air, mixed with the damp, musty smell unique to the underground.
This was the first time Xiong Da had seen Lei Yujin being imprisoned here.
When he saw the proud princess of the Moon Devouring Clan, now as miserable as a wild beast chained to the center of her cell, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas...fate is truly cruel..."
Xiong Da shook his head, a hint of emotion appearing on his rugged face. "I once met this princess. She was so young yet already displayed amazing talent and was full of vigor. Now she's fallen to such a state... This evil soul's blood energy is truly terrifying!"
He paused, then looked at Shen Yunhao: "Young Master Shen, are you really confident you can save her?"
Shen Yunhao did not answer.
He simply stared silently at the giant wolf, its face obscured by the white veil. After a moment, he spoke, "Brother Xiong, please help me subdue her. I'll do my best..."
The burly man nodded and stepped forward.
"boom!"
A giant hand formed from spiritual energy appeared out of thin air and pressed heavily on the giant wolf.
Unlike Zhuzhu's precise control, Xiongda's suppression was more brutal and tyrannical, but also more stable. The giant wolf didn't even have a chance to struggle before being firmly pressed to the ground.
Shen Yunhao squatted down and began today's treatment.
Today's treatment went exceptionally smoothly. There was no violent backlash of blood energy, no resistance, and the giant wolf was even quieter than the previous two days. If it weren't for the still dense blood energy around it, one might have wondered if Lei Yujin had already broken free from his manic state.
Even so, Xiong Da could sense that Shen Yunhao's mood had been rather bad ever since he entered this cell.
During treatment, he remained silent, his movements mechanical, exuding an indescribable dullness.
Even through the white gauze curtain, Xiong Da could vaguely see that Shen Yunhao's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
After the treatment, Shen Yunhao silently put away all the silver needles, stood up, and walked out of the cell without saying a word. Unlike the previous two days, he did not take one last look at the giant wolf's condition.
Xiong Da shook his head. Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions.
He slowly withdrew his oppressive aura, preparing to follow Shen Yunhao and leave.
But just as he withdrew his strength, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of the giant wolf on the ground, its scarlet eyes fixed on the direction Shen Yunhao had left.
Deep within his eyes, a few barely perceptible glimmers of clarity flashed and disappeared.
It was so fleeting, it felt like an illusion.
Xiong Da was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, the giant wolf had lowered its head again, its eyes unfocused, as if the scene had never happened.
Is it just my imagination?
Xiong Da scratched his head and muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly jogged to catch up with Shen Yunhao, who had already walked far away.
...
It is located in the western part of the continent, about several hundred miles from the coastline.
The scenery here is completely different from the perpetually snow-covered ice plains of the Moon Eater Clan.
Large, gray boulders stand on the ground, some tens of feet high and others only three or five feet high, densely packed together to form a boundless forest of giant rocks.
In the Stone Forest, not a blade of grass grows, only weathered rocks and dry sand.
In the very center of this stone forest, a solitary mountain rises abruptly from the ground.
The mountain is steep, almost vertical, and grayish-brown in color. There is no vegetation, only exposed rocks and weathered cracks.
The summit rises straight into the clouds, estimated to be thousands of feet high, and looks even more magnificent and precipitous than the three "giant tooth peaks" of the Tooth Mountain Range.
But the most breathtaking view is from the summit—
The extremely high places, which should have been covered by ice and snow, were now a dark red color, as if they had been scorched by flames.
A scorching heat wave rose from the mountaintop, distorting and blurring the surrounding space. Even from dozens of miles away, one could feel the intense heat.
The entire mountain seemed to be on fire.
If Shen Yunhao were here and saw this scene, he would most likely exclaim: Isn't this the Flaming Mountain from Journey to the West?!
The heatwave at the summit, the dark red mountain, the distorted air... it was clearly an active volcano that could erupt at any moment!
This peak is named "Red Lava Peak".
The vast lava forest below, along with this burning mountain, is the home of the Mountain Moving Clan... also known as the Crimson Iron Ape Clan!
After two days of trekking, Bai Xiaoruo's silver flying boat has now slowly landed on a small mountain not far from Crimson Melt Peak.
The ship came to a stop, and the light from the spirit array gradually dimmed.
Bai Xiaoruo stood on the ship's railing, gazing at the burning giant peak in the distance. Her pink peach blossom eyes reflected the dark red sky.
