Chapter 1362: Chapter 1363: The Eerie Volcano

"Finally done. Luckily, it’s not too late. How about we set out after lunch?"

After finishing the last potion, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others and asked, glancing at the still sleeping Cotton, Qi Chen hesitated for a moment and said,

"They should be okay, right?"

"They’ll wake up soon. After all, it’s not a low-level potion, so it’s normal for this to happen."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said, these potions significantly enhance the Spirit Beasts themselves, so it’s normal for them to fall into a short slumber. After all, potions that need to be prepared and used on the spot have very strong effects.

Dou Yanlan picked up Cotton and looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"Let’s go, it can eat its food on the way."

Yang Hongzhi thought for a while and still didn’t put Xiao Hui into the Spirit Beast Space but looked at Najia and said,

"I’ll stay here with it."

"No need, it will wake up soon."

Najia glanced at the sleeping Xiao Hui and sure enough, shortly after, it opened its eyes, shook itself energetically, and looked at Yang Hongzhi. Smiling slightly, Yang Hongzhi collected Xiao Hui into the Spirit Beast Space and then joined Feng Yuan and the others for lunch.

The road leading to the volcano had been damaged in many places due to previous volcanic activity, but for Feng Yuan and his team, this wasn’t a problem. Not to mention Agunas, even Ah Mu could easily carry Feng Yuan and the others across the narrow cracks.

Looking at the spreading cracks, Feng Yuan said with a schadenfreude expression,

"With it like this now, it’ll probably take a lot of work to repair ~"

"This area is so heavily affected."

Agunas swished its tail discontentedly and said, previously in the town it wasn’t noticeable, but here, probably because it’s close to the epicenter of the mutation, the signs of destruction are much more evident than in places like the town. However, maybe because there are no inhabitants nearby, they haven’t immediately repaired this place.

Noticing the Spirit Beasts busy setting right and replanting the overturned trees, Veronia curiously said,

"These wild Spirit Beasts actually do such things?"

"It’s not so strange; after all, humans are too busy. However, the impact on this area is far too great."

Feng Yuan surveyed the surroundings and shook his head, saying, the closer they got to the volcano, the more ruined the road became, until finally, it was completely severed by fissures.

"Could it be that there was a strong energy accumulation here before?"

Seeing this scene, Feng Yuan said thoughtfully, and Yang Hongzhi looked around and said,

"Do you feel the temperature rising rapidly here?"

"Hmm, it should be because we’re getting close to the volcano. After all, this is not a regular volcano. As an outlet, and clearly a Fire Energy outlet, having such destructiveness doesn’t seem all that strange. But it feels like it’s been accumulating power all along?"

Examining the bare rocks, Feng Yuan said puzzled, normally, those energy discharge points shouldn’t accumulate energy, right? Since such discharge points are not a one-time thing, if it accumulates, it might explode unexpectedly like a bomb.

"Indeed, it’s not normal; it doesn’t seem like an energy discharge but rather a burst of accumulated energy."

Flicking its tail, Agunas said, and Long Boduo thought for a moment and said,

"Do you think there might be relics beneath this place, suppressing the energy discharge?"

Having recently toured several relics with Feng Yuan and the others, Long Boduo naturally thought of such a thing, and Agunas was stunned, looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"What do you think?"

"Just take a look, and you’ll know. The discharge point is likely inside the volcano. I’m definitely not going in there with you."

Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said speechlessly, you’re kidding, even if he could go down there, such a place wouldn’t be comfortable to stay in, and he didn’t have time to follow Agunas to that kind of place.

"Once we get there, I’ll check the situation."

Swishing its tail, Agunas said, after all, their destination was the volcano’s crater, and if there was really something below, it would be able to see it.

At this time, the original mountain path had been severely damaged due to the energy discharge. Although Ah Mu could carry everyone over the fractures, their progress was still significantly hindered. After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi and said,

"Can Xiao Hui carry us up the mountain?"

"It should be able to, but I’m not sure if it will be dangerous."

Looking at the massive cracks, Yang Hongzhi said, unlike snowy mountains, it’s all rocks here, so when Xiao Hui steps on them, generally, no collapse will occur. Any real danger would be near the fractures, but Xiao Hui is indeed trained for carrying people up mountains.

Since Xiao Hui is a rideable Spirit Beast, Yang Hongzhi naturally trained it for such abilities to facilitate action in the wild. However, in environments like snowy mountains, Xiao Hui’s abilities weren’t sufficient, so they hadn’t done much training there.

"Then let’s have Xiao Hui take us up, Agunas, keep an eye out for danger."

Nodding, Agunas said,

"Of course, should we do it like we did in the snowy mountains?"

Agunas also seemed anxious to check out the situation; if there were relics blocking the discharge point, it might have to intervene to resolve it.

"No need, just in case we misstep, we might need your help."

Shaking his head, Najia said he was well aware of Xiao Hui’s capabilities and knew this environment wouldn’t be a problem for it. Yang Hongzhi gently patted Xiao Hui and talked to it about something. After a while, Feng Yuan and his team climbed onto Xiao Hui’s back, and it carried them towards the volcanic crater.

The Starlight Barrier protected Feng Yuan’s group, as the high temperatures and toxic gases were a serious threat to Qi Chen and the others. Although Feng Yuan didn’t mind, he didn’t want to inhale those gases either.

Xiao Ji flapped its wings and made a few calls, and Agunas glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

"Don’t use your Wind Attribute Ultimate Move here; it’ll cause trouble rather than help."

"Endure it, or go into Kong Qing’s space to rest? We’ll call you when we’re done here."

Scratching Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan said, the other shook its head and flapped its wings, suggesting it could hold on. Glancing at the lava below, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and said,

"Do you have an ultimate move for that thing?"

"No, wait, there seems to be something below."

At that moment, Agunas noticed a strange black dot in the lava, and Long Boduo looked at the black dot suspiciously and said,

"No way, is there really a relic?"

"I’ll go take a look!"

Agunas said, floating towards the suspicious object, and Veronia twirled her parasol with an inscrutable expression, scrutinizing the volcano, and said,

"Could the relics here be another device targeting Earth Energy Circulation?"

"I don’t know. Since his arrival, I can no longer see the future here. However, there are indeed relics here, but they haven’t entered."

Shaking his head, Belusir said, unable to see Feng Yuan’s fate but could indirectly observe changes through Qi Chen and the others. However, due to Feng Yuan’s unpredictable future, any minor actions of his could lead to huge changes in the future. Thus, in the destiny Belusir currently observed, Qi Chen and the others hadn’t entered that relic, and besides, that relic didn’t seem quite right.

"The relic seems to be divided into many parts, with the one in the lava appearing to be just an observation point?"

At this moment, a dramatic change occurred in the fate Belusir saw, and the ever-changing fate made it impossible to discern what was within the relic.

"A fragmented relic? This place really is..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said with some headache, as fragmented relics were the ones he disliked the most. If one didn’t enter them and trace their connections, it was challenging to find all its components. Of course, if there was a core area, entering the core area might work, but he had no idea what the situation was with the relic here.

"A relic in existence within the lava; what could it be, able to withstand such harsh lava conditions? Could it be related to the Mythical Era?"

Najia said with some concern, as normal relics wouldn’t survive such harsh environments, would they?
