Chapter 440 Dragon Porcelain Orchid
Chapter 440 Dragon Porcelain Orchid
Black Lava Volcano is a seasonally active volcano located on the western border of the Wildfire Thunder State. It is Feng Siyue's destination, as well as the destination of Zhu Liu and his group.
Zhu Liu's father, Zhu Danxiong, raised his hand.
"The Black Lava Volcano is just ahead! Brothers, same as always, meet here in three days!"
"Yes!"
"Yes! Boss!"
"Yes!"
The caravan of about twenty people dismounted, leaving a few to guard the carriages, and then walked in in twos and threes. Feng Siyue, who was lagging behind, looked so lonely.
Taking advantage of his father's inattention, Zhu Liu tried to slip away, but Zhu Danxiong, who was prepared, grabbed him by the back of his collar. "You brat, where do you think you're going? Why aren't you coming with me to see your Uncle Lin?"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"I'm not going! Dad, let me go!"
The boy was lifted into the air, flailing his arms and legs in frustration.
"Not going!?"
"I can't help you!"
The middle-aged man, expressionless, grabbed the person and left.
Feng Siyue naturally didn't see this scene. She walked alone at the back of the group, slowly fading out of everyone's sight.
Legend has it that the Black Lava Volcano was not originally active, but because the last lineage of the Earth Flame Heart Dragon slumbered deep within it. Every hundred years, the slumbering Earth Flame Heart Dragon would undergo a power cycle, and the power surge would activate the volcano.
Because of its pure flames, the craters on the surface of this volcano are filled with fire-attribute spiritual plants, which also nourish many fire-attribute spiritual beasts.
For example, the main task of this caravan was to acquire the Flame Dragon Egg.
Feng Siyue walked up the pile of rubble, where fiery red spiritual plants grew vigorously amidst the black volcanic mud and scattered rocks.
In a deserted place, Feng Siyue flew swiftly through the air to the mountaintop.
The temperature here is hundreds of times higher than elsewhere, and the intense heat hits you as if it could melt you.
Feng Siyue used her spiritual power to resist, and looking down, the red lava seemed to be breathing and flowing, with half of it stained with gold spots in its uneven layers.
To the right of the lava, nestled in the volcanic rock, a dozen or so transparent white jellyfish flowers bloom, their energy infused by rising hot air, causing them to shimmer with golden light.
The petals curl slightly, and the long, delicate blossoms fall vertically, giving the impression of unparalleled purity and brilliance.
Like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, dazzling and peerless.
This is... Dragon Porcelain Orchid.
The Dragon Porcelain Orchid, which can only grow for seven days in the crater of a black lava volcano every hundred years, is the seventh most beautiful flower in mainland China.
Those who consume it are immune to the ravages of time, and their appearance and lifespan can be extended for thousands of years.
"Qingqing."
A silver-blue bird appeared, "Come!"
Feng Siyue jumped onto its back, and Qingqing put a protective shield on her. Then, ignoring the high temperature of the volcano, she quickly descended and stopped next to the Dragon Porcelain Orchid. Feng Siyue reached out and grabbed a dozen Dragon Porcelain Orchids, which she then put into her ring.
After confirming that nothing was missing, the man and the bird disappeared into the crater.
Fifteen minutes later, five suspicious-looking people appeared at the crater.
They wore faceless masks and were dressed uniformly in black.
The man in the lead looked down, frowned as he gazed at the empty interior of the volcano, and asked, "Are we too early?"
The woman beside him said, "Impossible. This volcano is only active for a month. Today is the third day. The Dragon Porcelain Orchid should have sprouted by now."
Someone spoke up from behind.
"Perhaps we've come too early. The growth period of the Dragon Porcelain Orchid is not fixed. Let's wait a few more days and see."
"There's nothing we can do now, let's just wait."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
..........
"Lin Shan! I've already told you I don't like you, why are you like a leech that I can't get rid of?"
Halfway up the mountain, the boy said impatiently.
"Zhu Liu, get this straight! Uncle Zhu sent me to keep an eye on you because you're so impulsive. Do you think I want to hang out with a spoiled brat like you?!"
The girl in red walked behind, her pretty face full of dissatisfaction, kicking pebbles as she went.
"Then leave! Why are you still following me?"
"Haha~"
"I'm leaving. Some people won't even know how to cry because they can't get the Dragon Flame Egg. I'm being kind, so don't be ungrateful!"
That sound...
As Feng Siyue descended the mountain, she paused and looked to her right. There she saw a young girl in red, with a youthful face, rolling her eyes as she walked uphill.
The girl had beautiful peach blossom eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, and was quite attractive.
Feng Siyue paused, landed on an inconspicuous rock behind them, and slowly walked out to follow them uphill.
"unnecessary!"
"I'm incredibly intelligent; I can find the Flame Dragon Egg all by myself! You should go play by yourself!"
Just as he finished speaking, Zhu Liu suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and asked, "Who's there?"
A hint of joy appeared on his face when he saw the person who had arrived.
"Mingli? It's you!!!"
"are you alone?"
The woman nodded.
Zhu Liu quickly took a few steps down the stairs. "That's perfect! Let's go together, that way we can look out for each other!"
Feng Siyue didn't say anything.
Lin Shan, however, sensed something different in the boy's expression.
She looked at the woman in black in front of her. She was the one Uncle Zhu had mentioned.
"Who is this......"
Upon hearing someone he dislike speak, Zhu Liu's expression quickly turned impatient. "Who she is is none of your business. Mind your own business!"
Lin Shan was stunned.
She didn't expect that even when an outsider spoke to him, he would still be so rude, showing her no respect at all!
The girl stomped her foot and said angrily, "You..."
