"Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Yan Li said.

"Don't you believe it?" Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yan Li frowned and said, "Why is there a volcano here?"

"This is already the Taganla Mountains, why are there no volcanoes?" Ji Zhiyuan asked.

Yan Li has read the information Cui'er gave him, which indeed records that the Taganla Mountains are a large volcano group and the settlement of the barren tribe.

After walking for a while, the road ahead suddenly became higher.

Yan Li suddenly said: "We have been going down just now."

"This must have been a lava flow deep in the earth's crust. Perhaps due to the vibration, the earth's crust moved, and the lava flow shifted from its original position, leaving this cave." Ji Zhiyuan said.

Sure enough, not long after walking, a large and long gap suddenly appeared in the cave wall on the right, from which thick black smoke and a pungent smell came out.

Yan Li walked to the gap and looked down, and sure enough he saw a flowing lava river with bubbles gurgling.

When the temperature reached here, the terrain also suddenly rose. Yan Li was sweating all over his body. He took a peek at Ji Zhiyuan and found that she was still the same as when she came in.

He suddenly said: "You, the majestic Emperor of Great Xia, with a body of ten thousand gold, are really no stranger to this barbaric land."

Ji Zhiyuan said calmly: "If you have been here twice, it will be difficult for you to be a stranger."

"This is your third time here." Yan Li said.

Ji Zhiyuan said: "This is also the last time."

Yan Li said: "Oh?"

Ji Zhiyuan changed the subject and said, "What do you think of Huangren's courage?"

Yan Li's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "It seems that you dragged me onto the pirate ship."

"Oh?" Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yan Li said: "I smell a conspiracy. The mission you came to carry out in person must be no small matter. I only hate myself for being so stupid that I sold my life for twenty shadowless stars."

Ji Zhiyuan said: "If you are stupid, wouldn't there be no smart people in the world?"

Yan Li rolled his eyes and said, "Don't give me the ecstasy soup. I already know one thing."

Ji Zhiyuan laughed and said, "What's the matter?"

"You look upright and kind, but in fact you are as cunning as a fox." Yan Li said.

Ji Zhiyuan said: "If you sit in my position for a long time, it will be difficult for you not to be cunning."

Yan Li said: "I know you will never tell me your true purpose."

Ji Zhiyuan said: "I can't completely trust you yet."

Yan Li said: "But this matter must be done by me?"

"This matter must be done by you." Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yan Li said: "Then I want to remind you one more thing."

"Say." Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yan Li suddenly turned around: "I still have a way out now. It's not difficult to leave Yuanzhou." Suddenly he couldn't walk because someone grabbed him by the back.

Ji Zhiyuan grabbed his back and said calmly: "If you don't change your mind, I will throw you down there."

Yan Li smiled and turned back: "Of course I have to change. Don't you know that I am very fickle? Besides, how could I be willing to leave you in such a horrible place?"

Ji Zhiyuan said sweetly: "Although I'm not afraid, having a man by my side makes me feel more at ease."

The two of them continued walking forward.

Yan Li said: "I heard that a layman once saved a village of people from being slaughtered by a barbarian without using any weapons. Is this true?"

Ji Zhiyuan knew that he was talking about Prajna Buddha Tu and said: "Of course it is true. From that time on, she was called Little Boshu by the world."

Yan Li said: "I don't know what kind of things Master Boshu has done. Every time I call Little Boshu, I seem to be praising him."

Ji Zhiyuan said: "If there is a person who does good deeds that are a hundred times greater than Futu, don't you think he should be praised?"

Yan Li sighed: "What good deed can be greater than saving the lives of a village?"

"Save a race." Ji Zhiyuan said.

"What race?" Yan Li said.

"I don't know." Ji Zhiyuan said.

"Don't know?" Yan Li said.

Ji Zhiyuan said: "I have only seen vague records. The incident did not happen in China. No one knows the specific details."

Yan Li said: "Do you believe there is a world other than China?"

Ji Zhiyuan said: "Of course."

Yan Li smiled and said, "It sounds like you have been there."

Ji Zhiyuan glanced at him and said, "I have dreamed about it."

Another hour passed, and the two of them had walked about two hundred miles in the cave. Suddenly, their eyes suddenly opened up, and bright sunlight shone on Yan Li's face. He raised his hand to block it, and his nose smelled a faint smell of blood.

, knowing that the desert warriors did come out from here.

And they knew the whereabouts of the desolate warrior without having to look for it, because the exit of the cave was on a desolate cliff, and in the desolate valley below, there was a village composed of stone houses.

This village looks desolate and primitive. A huge bonfire is burning in the center of the village. A dozen deserters are surrounding the deserter warrior, saying something "jijijiwawa".

"This shouldn't be the Black Stone Tribe." Yan Li said.

"It looks like there are less than five hundred people." Ji Zhiyuan said, "The Black Stone Tribe has a population of close to ten thousand."

"They must be discussing revenge." Yan Li said.

"Humans are known to retaliate for their anger." Ji Zhiyuan nodded.

Yan Li said: "But the Huangren soldier is injured and needs to recuperate. The army needs to be prepared. They will not be able to attack until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

"We still have time to mobilize reinforcements," Ji Zhiyuan said.

"No." Yan Li said.

Ji Zhiyuan turned her head to look at him and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that you..."

Yan Li's face was full of cruelty: "I will lead people to destroy them tonight."

When Zhao Qiping woke up from his coma, a ray of setting sun penetrated the tent and reflected on his dazed face. He had obviously forgotten what he had done, and he thought hard before finally remembering it.

His face immediately turned pale, he felt heart palpitations and fear, and he was sweating like rain. He felt that it was a miracle that he could survive.

Then his face suddenly stiffened, as if he sensed something. As if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, his stiff face gradually melted away, and ecstasy filled his face: "I have made a breakthrough!"

Breakthrough from the sixth level to the fifth level.

For Yan Li, this may be just something that comes easily, but for Zhao Qiping, who has no unique skills or methods and can only rely on his own efforts to explore and practice, it is nothing short of a gift.

He suddenly became very confident, and now he would never be afraid even if a deserted man was in front of him.

"Master Qiwei, Master Duwei ordered you to go to him immediately if you wake up." A guard heard Zhao Qiping's voice, raised his tent and walked in, saying respectfully.

"What did you call me?" Zhao Qiping was stunned.

"Lord Cavalry Lieutenant." The guard raised his voice.

Xishan camp was unable to perform meritorious service. Zhao Qiping had been a soldier for more than a year and suddenly became a cavalry captain. This almost made him crazy with joy.

He gradually calmed down, and he knew that a desolate man's head was definitely not that valuable. This must be Yan Li's handiwork. At this moment, his heart was full of gratitude, and he stood up immediately: "Where is the captain, please take me there."

There were seven people in the camp, Yan Li and his entourage, Colonel Wang Chuan and four cavalry officers.

Zhao Qiping became a little nervous. Among these people, each one was more powerful than the last. He was not only the weakest, but also the most inconspicuous. He even felt that he was not qualified to hold the position at all.

In fact, a fifth-grade warrior is more than enough to serve as a Cavalry Lieutenant. However, Xishan Camp is a strange place. Hu Bugui, the strongest, is only a Cavalry Lieutenant. In the regular army establishment, he will at least be a Captain.

He is qualified to be on an equal footing with Yanli.

It's a pity that the army is a place where military merit is judged. Those who have meritorious service are rewarded, and those who have faults are punished. No matter who you are or how high your cultivation level is, there are no exceptions.

"You came just in time, sit down." Yan Li said casually.

Zhao Qiping sat down nervously and found that no one was looking at him, so he relaxed a lot. But the next moment, his whole body tensed up again, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat, just because of Yan Li's words.

"There is a small tribe of about 500 people two hundred miles away. We will kill them all tonight." Yan Li said.

"Five hundred people?" Wang Chuan secretly calculated, "There should be more than 200 people capable of fighting. However, in a small tribe of 500 people, we can be sure that there will not be a second desert warrior."

Except for Zhao Qiping, the remaining cavalry officers were eager to try.

Zhang Donglin said with a smile: "Just to see if the boss's skills are as powerful as the rumors say."

"How are the spoils distributed?" Pei Qianlai's rat eyes shone brightly.

Yan Li waved his hand: "Whoever gets it will get it."

"Done it!" Pei Qianlai immediately felt like he had been injected with blood.
