"All right! Let's escape that bastard first, then discuss it later!"

Sigh!

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Once the two reached an agreement, Hu-Tai-Min went immediately ahead of Zheng-Fu. Previously, Hu-Tai-Min had already cleared the route they would use to escape the king of secret land, so not a single spirit monster blocked their escape.

ROOOAR!!!

Booooooom!!!

As if the king of the secret land sensed that Zheng-Fu and Hu-Tai-Min had fled, it let out a roar before emitting destruction energy waves. The forest area of more than five lis disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even the spirit monsters that inhabited and hid in this area also disappeared until nothing remained.

"You filthy humans! I'll kill you all! KILL YOU ALL!!!" It roared with extreme fury.

Two hours passed...

Whoosh!!!

Thud!!!

"Why did you stop?"

After fleeing for more than two hours, Zheng-Fu suddenly stopped and did not continue. That made Hu-Tai-Min stop as well and turn around to ask.

"I think we've escaped from it now. I can't feel its pressure and energy waves anymore. We should take a break and discuss where we can go next other than the entrance of this secret land!" Zheng-Fu stopped because he wanted to talk to Hu-Tai-Min about why he did not want to go to the entrance.

"All right! In addition to the gravity field and spirit monster forest, this secret land also has a Nine-layered Reverse Waterfall, a Sweltering Volcano, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Freezing Cold Ice Yard. Where do you want to go?" Being pushed by Zheng-Fu's wayward expression, Hu-Tai-Min was speechless. He then told Zheng-Fu about the remaining cultivation places for him to choose where he wanted to go.

"A Nine-layered Reverse Waterfall? A Sweltering Volcano? And a Hundred-Thousand-Year Freezing Cold Ice Yard? Oh! They're very different. Those with fire elemental energy should go cultivate at Sweltering Volcano. As for people with winter elemental energy, they should go to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Freezing Cold Ice Yard. Those with water elemental energy should go to Nine-layered Reverse Waterfall. Then for me, where should I go to cultivate? Hmm... Ah! I'd choose Sweltering Volcano. I want to go to the Sweltering Volcano. Please lead me there!"

After analyzing for a while, Zheng-Fu found that no matter where he chose, it was no different. Because he had non-characteristic elemental energy, he could cultivate in any terrain and weather.

But the reason why Zheng-Fu chose to go to the Sweltering Volcano was that he wanted a kind of ore that only spawned within hot lava. This ore could be fused with the fire elemental herbs and Purple Heaven Crystal to concoct the fire elemental divine pill that could greatly aid in the cultivation of a person with fire elemental energy like Chang-Yue.

"A Sweltering Volcano? All right! But before we go, you must eat this Fire Grass first. This Fire Grass will allow you to enter the Sweltering Volcano area without being affected by its heat. It also gives you a good energy boost when you are in a volcanic area!" Hu-Tai-Min was slightly surprised by Zheng-Fu's decision. But he did not want to think too much. He knew that Zheng-Fu only had one month left, so he would help Zheng-Fu maximize his energy as much as he could.

"Thank you very much. If I have something to repay you, I'll find it for you!" Although Zheng-Fu did not really like Hu-Tai-Min much, he did not hate him at all. Zheng-Fu was really grateful to him from the bottom of his heart and wanted to find something to repay him.

"It's not necessary to pay me anything back. Because when you get stronger, you and I can go to avenge my son. That's the recompense you can give me!" For Hu-Tai-Min, what he desired was not material possessions but revenge for Jin-Tian.

"All right! When I'm strong enough, I'll definitely lead you to avenge Jin-Tian. Because I wouldn't let the guy who did that to him hold his head up so comfortably!" Even if Hu-Tai-Min did not ask for it, he would do it anyway because he had to avenge this debt.

Mm!

"Then you hurry up and eat that Fire Grass. And you have to follow me closely so you won't get lost!"

Mm!

Whoosh!!!

Zheng-Fu ate Fire Grass that Hu-Tai-Min gave him, before rushing forward, following Hu-Tai-Min without losing sight one bit.

Two hours passed, at the Sweltering Volcano...

Phew!

"The weather here is insanely hot. If it weren't for the Fire Grass that I ate earlier, I don't know if I could have entered here," Zheng-Fu grumbled while entering the Sweltering Volcano area, which was hundreds of degrees Celsius. If he had not eaten Fire Grass before and had not had non-characteristic elemental energy, he would not have been able to last this long despite entering so deep.

"To me, this place is like a paradise. Because we, Savage Fire Tiger Race, were born with fire elemental ability. Therefore, being in the heat will greatly increase energy. And my village is located near this Sweltering Volcano!"

For Hu-Tai-Min, who was a member of the Savage Fire Tiger Race, just this heat was not something he needed to endure at all. The closer they were to an extremely hot place, the higher their energy levels rose.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just too hot. But if I adjust my physical condition to withstand this heat, I won't be afraid at all!" Zheng-Fu was not dissatisfied; only a human like him was normally not used to this kind of heat, so he complained a little.

"Certainly! Anyway, you'll have to spend the rest of your time here. Or until that bastard arrives. All right! First of all, you should find a suitable seat to adjust your physical condition!"

"All right! I won't waste any more time. I thought I would sit, cultivate energy, and adjust my physical condition on that rock. It's higher than the ground, so it's probably…"

"Is your brain deteriorating? Sitting on that rock is crazy and stupid for someone like you who is not familiar with this heat! These rocks are hotter than the ground where you're standing because they're deeply rooted in the hot lava below!" As soon as he heard Zheng-Fu choose a suitable seat, Hu-Tai-Min objected and explained about the surrounding rocks, which were very hot.

Oh!

"Then I've to sit on the ground? But I think I'd like to try sitting on this rock and see if I can endure it. And probably I can adjust my physical condition more quickly!" At first, Zheng-Fu thought that Hu-Tai-Min was trying to tease him. But when he looked at those rocks, he realized that they really had more heat waves than the ground he was standing on. But even so, he still wanted to test it out. So, he looked for a rock with the least heat wave.

Ah!

"That one! That rock has the least heat energy wave. It's not much hotter than on the ground. It should be fine if I sit on it!" And Zheng-Fu finally found the rock he needed. It was a large rock stacked in several layers, which caused the heat wave to subside.

Hah!

"Then it's up to you. Consider that I've warned you. Anyway, I wish you good luck with the rest of your time. But if you can't withstand it, then you just crush this stone. Then I'll hurry to get you out of this place right away! Now, I'll go back to my village first and see you later!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu had made up his mind, Hu-Tai-Min said nothing but blessed Zheng-Fu. And he gave Zheng-Fu a communication stone to summon him when Zheng-Fu could not stand the heat or something bad happened.

"Thank you very much! By the way, does this Sweltering Volcano have spirit monsters?" Zheng-Fu took the communication stone before asking about spirit monsters because he could not sense any of the other creatures surrounding him.

"They exist. But they only live under the lava. They don't like coming on land. Only Fire Chameleons and Lava Serpents like to come up here. But you don't have to be afraid. They're not too strong compared to you. If they saw that they couldn't fight you, they would choose to run away and not bother you. Because their daily routine is to sunbathe to dry themselves," Hu-Tai-Min replied in detail so Zheng-Fu could know the information and prepare himself.

Mm!

"Then I'm a bit more at ease. If I had to adjust my physical condition while also having to fight, in the remaining time, I wouldn't get anything but wounds and fatigue!" Hearing Hu-Tai-Min's answer, Zheng-Fu felt a little more confident. But he did not quite trust it because anything could always happen.

After the two dispersed, Zheng-Fu dashed toward the rock he had chosen. He immediately sat down cross-legged on it. However, as soon as his butt touched the surface of this rock, his expression instantly changed, and he shouted loudly.

"Oh, so hot! What the hell! Why is it getting this hot? Oh, my! My pants are torn off, damn it! I didn't think this rock could get so hot. I wonder if I need to use a protective shield before I sit down, then slowly lower the shield little by little when I can adjust myself!"

Feeling extremely hot at his butt, Zheng-Fu rapidly got up and brushed his butt with a hand before giving a lengthy curse. Zheng-Fu did not use the energy shield to protect himself from the beginning because he thought that this heat might not hurt him like this. Thus, this time he used the protective energy shield before sitting cross-legged again.

Whoosh!!!

Thud!!!!

"For today's cultivation, I have to try to make my body withstand the heat of this rock without the help of the protective energy shield! Come on! Keep fighting!"
