82: Obtaining the Blood Fur

Obtaining the Blood Fur

Around the entrance of the cave was a red plant that resembled coral.2

Jiang Yifan was delighted. "That is the blood fur!"

The blood fur was still a distance away from them, and there was magma between them. It was a problem to get their hands on it.

Xia Muqing spotted a vine nearby and her eyes lit up. "I have an idea. Let's use that."

Jiang Yifan frowned. "It's too dangerous."

If they weren't careful, they would fall into the magma.

Xia Muqing tugged hard at the vine in her hand. She felt that it was strong enough, so she swung herself out with it.

Jiang Yifan was shocked, but he could only watch nervously.

Xia Muqing swung the vine above the blood fur and reached out to gently touch it. She was initially worried that it would be hot, but she didn't expect the blood fur to be warm.

She used her strength to push against the wall before she quickly plucked the blood fur. Just as she was about to return with the blood fur, a black shadow suddenly appeared and rushed towards the blood fur in her hand.

Xia Muqing instinctively extended her leg and kicked the man. He was kicked into the mouth of the magma and it splashed and burned half of his face.

Xiao Chenglin wailed in agony as he lay on the ground.

Xia Muqing mocked him as it served him right. But because of the impact just now, she couldn't return to the surface. Just as she was about to move again, the vine hanging from her hand suddenly fell and cracked.

For a moment, she didn't dare to move, afraid that if she did, the vine would completely break.

The vine kept making cracking sounds. Xia Muqing quickly scanned her surroundings, hoping to find a place where she can put her legs against.

There were smooth stone walls everywhere, and there wasn't even a spot where one could step on.

Xiao Chenglin covered his face and ran out of the cave amidst the chaos. At this moment, the two of them had no time to care about him.

After a while, before they could think of a solution, the vine above her head suddenly dropped a few more inches. The remaining vine was only connected by the very last bit.

The next second, the vine broke.

Xia Muqing leaped up with all her might, wanting to grab hold of another vine. However, she was still a distance away.

Her fingers grazed the vines before she descended.

Amidst Jiang Yifan's scream of horror, a figure rushed in quickly and grabbed Xia Muqing's body. He tapped his feet on the surface of the lava and he returned to the ground unharmed with Xia Muqing in his arms.

The moment they landed, the person disappeared.

Xia Muqing could only see a hint of a golden mask with embroidered edges. She didn't see anything else.

Jiang Yifan heaved a sigh of relief. "Sister, thank goodness you're fine."

Otherwise, he would really be a sinner.

Xia Muqing stroked his head to assure him that she was fine.

Jiang Yifan became excited again. "That person's internal energy is too strong. He must have used his internal energy to wrap his entire body and that was why he could move freely in the magma."

Xia Muqing nodded in understanding.

He asked again, "Sister, do you know that person from earlier? He seemed to be following us all the time. He has already saved us several times."

Xia Muqing shook her head. "I'm not sure. Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the cave with the blood fur.

Xiao Chenglin appeared again and blocked the entrance of the cave. Half of his face was corroded by the magma, and he looked extremely terrifying.

His sinister voice sounded, "Hand over the blood fur."

Xia Muqing raised her leg and asked, "Don't you ever learn your lesson?"

He subconsciously took a step back, but there was no sign of anger on his face. He mocked them. "You've all fallen into my trap. I've already placed poison in the cave. As long as the flood fur is touched with poison, it will be useless. None of you will get what I can't get, haha!"

Xia Muqing kicked him away and he crashed into a huge tree. He spat out a mouthful of blood and it was unknown if he was dead or alive.

Only now did Jiang Yifan notice that some white powder had fallen from the top of the cave. The spots where the blood fur had touched the white powder had slowly turned black and rough.
