Chapter 267 Purpose of the Fiery Mountain Tokens

The brutal attack of Han Fei’s team intimated the rest of the students.

The twelve-people group did not intend to attack them now at all.

Considering the capabilities that Han Fei’s team just showed, half of the members in their group would be half dead even if they could win. They knew better than picking up a fight now.

Han Fei looked back at them and said, “Why? Do you still want to try?”

“Humph! Let’s go in.”

Nobody replied to Han Fei. It was definitely stupid to fight Han Fei’s team when the treasures hadn’t been found yet.

Kong Yunfei stared at Han Fei thoughtfully and walked into the gate.

The man wearing the mask, however, didn’t leave and said to Han Fei, “Do you know who the people you just beat were?”

Han Fei was in a foul mood. “I don’t care who they are. Why are you wearing a pretentious mask?”

The masked man was not bothered at all. Instead, he said calmly, “That armorist is named Li Hanyi, the second place ranked in the three academies. The girl is Xiang Zuozuo, with a Giant Pincer Shark Crystals Crab as a spiritual beast. She’s ranked third. The spirit gatherer is Lin Shengmu, ranked seventh... The hunter is Zhong Yue, ranked fourth... As for Su Yebai, you must know him. He’s the eighth on the rank with his Ever Night Black Spider...”

Han Fei and his teammates were briefly stunned that all of them were top ten.

Luo Xiaobai said coldly, “Why are you telling us that?”

The masked man replied casually, “Nothing. I’m just amazed by your capabilities. However, you should not underestimate them. They were completely unprepared just now, but things might be different next time.”

Then, the man turned around and entered the gate.

Zhang Xuanyu snorted. “I don’t think he’s a good guy. He’s acting mysterious with that mask.”

Luo Xiaobai said, “He can’t be weak. Also, he’s right that those five weren’t prepared. If we run into them again, it will be hard to say...”

Le Renkuang was rather surprised. “Who’s ranked at the top? He must be very strong. Why is he not here?”

Xia Xiaochan said, “He might be hiding in the crowd. There could be experts among the twelve students just now.”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “That’s right. The twelve students were from three academies. Also, it’s said that the top ranked student is the First Academy but from the Third Academy. He’s kind of mysterious.”

Han Fei asked in confusion, “Could he be the masked man just now? I think he was trying to instigate us to fight other students.”

Luo Xiaobai nodded and said, “In any case, let’s go in first! If the gate of this place is already such a treasure, there must be more treasures inside.”

Everybody agreed, particularly Han Fei. He would probably find the most treasures here, or maybe Le Renkuang, who had perceived a lot of things the moment he sat down.

They all walked into the gate. Faced with overwhelming hot tides, they were all shocked by the bright view before them.

This space was enormous and connected to an undersea volcano, and everybody was standing at the edge of the cliff. Before them were rocks and flooding magma that sprang now and then. Even more shockingly, there were even creatures in the magma that were patting their tails. But they were too far away to be seen clearly.

At the center of the space was a floating palace which was attached to the rocks surrounding it by hundreds of thick red chains.

Han Fei immediately gasped hard. He was as impressed as when he saw the floating island for the first time. Though this palace was much smaller than the floating island, the environment here was more appalling.

Luo Xiaobai’s face was slightly pale. “My capabilities are suppressed here. I can only carry out 70% of my strength.”

That couldn’t be helped, because Luo Xiaobai’s strength lay in her vines. Though she could summon vines everywhere, they could easily be burnt up in this place where everybody was already sweating after standing for a short moment.

Han Fei immediately summoned five Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers. “Each of you can take one. It will help you resist the hotness here.”

Everybody grabbed the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers. If it were outside, the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers would’ve frozen their hands within a minute, but in here, everybody only felt comfortable, and the hot waves nearby dwindled.

Le Renkuang said, “This is nice... Hey, what about those people?”

Xia Xiaochan said, “There, look at these chains.”

Everybody looked over and saw that some people were walking on the chains far away, except that they seemed to be moving very slow.

Han Fei slashed a chain with his dagger, but to his surprise, the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Dagger left nothing but a shallow mark on the chain, even though it was a spiritual weapon.

Han Fei grabbed the chain, but then he immediately let it go. He opened his hands, and they were entirely red.

Han Fei said, lost for words. “It’s hot. Unusually hot.”

Everyone: “...”

Xia Xiaochan said, “Let me have a try.”

The Red Fire Tricky Lobster, Xia Xiaochan’s contractual spiritual beast, was of the fire class. She leaped to a chain, but after only a few breaths, her shoes were burnt up, and she became barefooted.

Xia Xiaochan hopped on the chain back and forth, before she finally jumped to the ground. “This is too hot! I don’t want to go forward at all.”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “This must be a test. Look, someone is going back from there.”

Everybody looked over and saw two people who were returning. One of them could barely keep himself steady, and he was shaking when he was twenty meters from the cliff.

But in the next second, the man slipped, and he fell into the magma.

“Ahhhh!”

“Help me!”

Everybody’s blood was almost frozen when they saw that. They didn’t really know how it felt to take a magma bath. Although they were all cultivators, it seemed unlikely for them to weather through the magma if the chains were already too hot for them.

But it was hard to say. Han Fei estimated that he probably wouldn’t be killed in the magma. After all, to his knowledge, the magma that flowed out was only a thousand degrees and the orange magma was more than three thousand degrees. What he was seeing was probably above three thousand degrees, but it probably wouldn’t kill him since he was sturdy enough to resist magic weapons now. However, he certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable in the magma.

What happened next was even more chilling. Before the young man hit the magma, a few weird fish had jumped out and split him up in the blink of an eye.

“Gudu!”

Le Renkuang trembled and said, “Han Fei, I’d like to borrow two daggers from you.”

Han Fei: “???”

Le Renkuang said, “If I tied them to the bottom of my feet, it would be fine for me to walk on the chain, right?”

Everyone: “???”

Zhang Xuanyu slapped Le Renkuang’s back and said, “That’s really a brilliant idea! Hahaha. Han Fei, I’d like two daggers too!”

Xia Xiaochan said, “Me too.”

Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei.

Han Fei was lost for words. That was outrageous! The Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers were spiritual weapons and shouldn’t be used as shoes!

Han Fei hesitated for a moment and summoned dozens of Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers. “Is it easy to walk when you have a dagger below your foot?” Le Renkuang and Zhang Xuanyu nodded quickly. “Of course. Look at those people. We have no idea how they endured the hotness without screaming.” Han Fei was puzzled. “That’s highly uncanny. The chain is burningly hot even for us. A lot of the students are weaker than us. How can they walk on the chain?”.

Le Renkuang was silent, and Le Renkuang and Zhang Xuanyu were already binding the daggers to their feet.

Suddenly, Luo Xiaobai said, “The Fiery Mountain Token.” Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

“Huh?”

Interested, everybody said, “Let’s have a try.”

Twenty-eight Fiery Mountain Tokens floated around Han Fei, and Han Fei jumped on the chain. Then he said, “The Fiery Mountain Tokens are the key.” Le Renkuang asked in shock, “So many?”

Zhang Xuanyu was lost for words. “Han Fei, how many people have you robbed?”

While the rest of them observed Han Fei, Luo Xiaobai said, “Cut the crap. Look. Some sort of energy on the chain is being absorbed by the Fiery Mountain Token.”

Han Fei grabbed the Fiery Mountain Token, only to let it go in a hurry and blow at his hand. “Damn it... The Fiery Mountain Token can absorb heat.”
