Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master/

Chapter 10 : Volcanic Cave

The lava lake was like a golden colored glass bead embedded in the center of the dark red rock plate, gorgeous and eye-catching.

Orange-red and golden-yellow lava flowed slowly and churned in the lake, occasionally emitting huge bubbles.

With the lava lake as the center, the hot air waves spread out in all directions. Then, after being blocked by the mountain wall, the air wave soared into the sky.

Ning Zhuo and Ning Yong stood on the top of the mountain wall, their bodies shaking violently from the impact of the air wave. Although Ning Zhuo had already mobilized his magic power to protect his mouth and nose, the heat wave still burned his hair.

Ning Zhan glanced at the few rookies who were in a sorry state and ordered lightly," Give them a set of magic clothes each."

His subordinate immediately threw the spare vestments to the two of them.

Ning Zhuo took a look and found that the whole set of robes was from head to toe, including helmet, jacket, pants, robe, outer armor, boots, etc.

There were a large number of talismans painted on his clothes, mainly ice talismans.

"Talisman treasure." The answer flashed through Ning Zhuo's mind.

Talisman treasures were different from magic tools. The more they were used, the more they would wear themselves out. It's a consumable.

The advantage of talismans was their cost. After some basic materials were engraved with talismans, they could become talismans, and their usage value would soar.

The wooden hammer Ning Zhuo had designed in the basement was a talisman treasure. Ning Zhuo can easily handle oil smoke mud with it.

These robes were the standard equipment of the Ning Family's cultivator team. They should have been specially developed by the Ning Family to obtain the Lava Immortal Palace.

Ning Zhuo and the others put on a set of vestments and immediately felt the temperature return to normal, no longer scorching. The pungent smell of sulfur had completely disappeared.

On the mountain wall, there were several hanging platforms. Each platform was guarded by members of the City Guard, both to protect it and to collect fees.

Ning Zhan led the group and chose a hanging platform. From the top of the mountain, they officially stepped into the valley.

Ning Yong stamped his feet excitedly and looked around curiously.

Ning Zhuo's face also showed excitement and caution.

The Ning fighter aimed directly at the magma lake in the center.

The group of more than 50 cultivators moved together and immediately attracted the attention of others.

Ning Zhuo and his group were not the only ones in the crater. Many groups or individual cultivators were scattered on the mountain pass.

From time to time, cultivators would walk down from the top of the cliff.

Some of them used official platforms, but many of them built their own ropes and climbed down from the top of the mountain wall. However, due to the constant impact and blowing of the heat waves, the process of descending was generally very difficult for the cultivators.

The cultivators who climbed down alone saved a sum of money on the use of the platform.

When the city guards saw these rogue cultivators go down, they did not stop them. Their eyes were indifferent and they mainly ignored them.

Ning Zhuo gradually approached the lava lake.

As he got closer, he discovered that there was still life in the lava lake.

Another huge lava bubble exploded. A red mouse rose with the help of the hot air and rushed into the white smoke to hunt.

If the hunt was successful, one could see the Red-haired Brocade Mouse holding a smoke lark in its mouth and smashing it into the ground.

Because the heat wave was constantly generated, it greatly reduced the force of falling, allowing the Red-haired Brocade Rat to fall to the rocky ground unharmed every time.

Some cultivators were waiting for the Red-haired Brocade Rats to land after catching their prey.

Once they landed, they would make a move and use special tools to capture them.

In Ning Zhuo's sea of consciousness, a certain mental bead was shining brightly.

" Epilomus. It has extremely strong fire resistance and can swim in lava."

"It feeds on birds."

"The most valuable thing about a tindermouse is its fur. After collecting hundreds of them and refining them through sewing, you can create a Rat Fur Fire Robe. The effect is excellent."

At this moment, Ning Zhan, who was leading the way, stopped.

In front of him was one of the many entrances to the cave. Compared to the other caves around him, there was nothing special about it.

However, he was very certain. He shouted in a low voice," This is the place. Prepare to enter."

The cultivators obeyed.

First, a cultivator formed a finger seal and pushed out a cloud of frost and snow.

The snow mist poured into the hole, and the edge of the hole was immediately covered with a layer of frost.

The cold poured down all the way, stirring up the reaction of the cave and producing a rumbling sound.

The noise grew louder and louder. In the next moment, a large amount of mud spewed out from the hole.

The mud rushed into the sky and burned like fireworks.

Ning Zhuo saw clearly that the burning mud was oil smoke mud.

When the mud spray was finished, Ning Fighter jumped into the hole first.

The rest of the cultivators followed closely behind and entered one after another.

Ning Chen, Ning Yong, Ning Zhuo, and the other rookies were led one-on-one by the old members and jumped into the cave.

Ning Zhuo shivered when he jumped into the cave. He was chilled by the surrounding cold air.

As it went down, the temperature in the tunnel quickly rose.

In the second half of the season, the temperature became very high. As Ning Zhuo glided, he keenly observed the changes in the walls of the passageway around him.

At the beginning, the tunnel was covered in frost. By the second half, the frost had already dissipated.

When he finally landed, Ning Zhuo raised his head and found himself in an underground world filled with flames and rocks.

The rocky ground beneath his feet was soft, and the surrounding rock walls were translucent orange, constantly filled with surging heat.

Ning Yong curiously reached out and tried to touch the rock wall.

In the next instant, one-third of the runes on his gloves melted away, scaring him so much that he quickly retracted his hand.

Fortunately, a Ning Family cultivator took out a jade bottle and released mist.

The mist condensed into blue and white ribbons that floated in the air and surrounded everyone, helping them resist the omnipresent heat.

Ning Zhan arranged for Ning Zhuo and the other rookies to walk in the middle of the group, then led the Ning family cultivators forward.

After the initial novelty, the scene in the Flaming Demon Cave became monotonous.

Ning Yong kept muttering. When would a demonic beast appear?

Ning Chen gradually relaxed his guard.

Ning Zhuo was secretly amazed at the spiritual energy here. The concentration was definitely the highest he had ever seen in his life.

"No wonder many powerful cultivators live alone in dangerous places where few people are found."

" Unfortunately, my magic power is ice magic power. The spiritual energy here is heavily biased towards fire and mixed with a large amount of fire poison. It's not suitable for me."

The underground passage was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the trend was obviously downward.

There was more than one passageway. Ning Zhuo often encountered forks. However, the Ning family cultivators were obviously familiar with the route. They would choose one of the crossings every time without hesitation.

" Fire Crystal Grass, rooted in rocks. Its leaves are transparent like gemstones. It can absorb geothermal heat and flames at all times and emit fire."

" Flame Shadow Flower absorbs lava and poison. The grass is purple-black, and its leaves are as thin as cicada wings. Its body does not move, but its shadow fluctuates like flames."

"Strength Ginseng, absorb soil power, 130 years is a qualitative change. The ginseng has slender whiskers and possesses the natural ability to escape from the earth."

Along the way, Ning Zhuo saw several kinds of spiritual plants.

When the Ning Family cultivators passed by, they would also allocate a portion of their manpower to pick them.

Ning Ji glanced at Ning Zhuo imperceptibly, then waved at Ning Zhuo and the other rookies and asked them," Do you know why we have to remove all these spiritual plants?"
