Inside an active volcano.
After Xiao Ning entered it, he went all the way down in the hot flames.
The temperature inside is extremely high, so Xiao Ning must activate his true energy to resist this harsh environment.
And this put great pressure on his already scarred body.
Xiao Ning felt that if he couldn't find the lava door within one minute, he would definitely die here.
In other words, there was only one minute left for him.
"Where? Where exactly?"
Xiao Ning was so anxious that he searched everywhere for the lava door like a headless fly.
However, because the environment here was too extreme, and everywhere he looked was a fiery red, it was extremely difficult for him to find the lava door.
But Xiao Ning is not the kind of person who gives up easily.
Therefore, he persisted and continued to go deeper with the mood of giving it a try.
Finally, after flying down for dozens of meters, he finally saw an arch.
This arch is located in the middle of the crater, floating there out of thin air.
"This should be the lava gate!"
Xiao Ning was excited.
This door is very similar to what Varuk described at the time, and it must be the lava door.
After all, there is nothing else that looks like a lava gate here.
“Go there and see!”
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ning flew decisively towards the arch that floated out of thin air.
And as he got closer and closer to the arch, he finally became convinced of his guess.
This arch is undoubtedly the Lava Gate.
You can't go wrong this time.
However, now a new question arises, that is, where is the secret treasure described by Varuk.
After all, Xiao Ning came here not because of the lava gate, but to find the kind of secret treasure that can make people immortal.
As long as he eats it, his injuries may be greatly improved, and it may even be possible for him to recover as before.
At this moment, Xiao Ning placed all his hopes on the secret treasure.
There is no way, he has no other way to go now, he can only rely on the secret treasure to usher in a turning point.
If he cannot find the secret treasure, he will definitely be killed by Taiyi and Taoist Tianbao who are chasing him.
When the time comes, neither of them will need to take action against him. All they have to do is block the crater above and trap him here.
With the extreme temperature inside, he wouldn't be able to last long.
In fact, he could hardly hold on anymore. If he could not find the secret treasure, he would definitely die today.
"Quick, quick! We must find it!"
Xiao Ning searched everywhere for traces of the secret treasure like crazy.
Varuk described it to him at that time, saying that the secret treasure looked a bit like a fiery red mushroom and easily blended into the environment around the lava gate.
So it's not an easy thing to find.
Xiao Ning could only open his eyes and search carefully.
At the same time, outside the volcano.
After Taiyi and Taoist Tianbao finished dealing with the monsters, they pursued Xiao Ning in the direction where he escaped.
After flying all the way, they soon arrived at the edge of this active volcano.
There is ice and snow everywhere around, and it is a vast expanse of white. Only this volcano has a high temperature that is different from the environment.
Both Taiyi and Taoist Tianbao felt that there was something fishy about this place.
"Xiao Ning must have been here before!"
Taiyi said with great certainty.
Taoist Tianbao also nodded slightly and responded: "Yes, I can feel his breath around here."
"However." Taoist Tianbao changed the topic again, "He probably won't stay here for too long."
Taoist Tianbao's guess is not unreasonable. The main reason is that there is no whereabouts of Xiao Ning around the volcano, and the temperature inside the volcano is extremely high. Even immortal cultivators like them find it difficult to stay inside for a long time.
What's more, Xiao Ning was seriously injured.
Taiyi analyzed: "With Xiao Ning's injury, he shouldn't be able to go into the crater, but everything is possible."
As he said that, he suddenly turned to look at Taoist Tianbao, "There is a question I haven't had time to ask you."
Taoist Tianbao also scratched his head and looked at Taiyi, "What's the problem?"
"I really want to know why you came here. Are you here for Xiao Ning?"
Taiyi looked into Taoist Tianbao's eyes, as if he wanted to see into his heart through his eyes.
Taoist Tianbao did not answer this question, but instead asked: "This is also what I am curious about, why do you appear here."
"I'm here because of Xiao Ning."
Taiyi did not avoid the question and answered directly.
After finishing speaking, he added: "Xiao Ning's strength has improved too fast, I want to explore his true and false qualities."
He didn't want Taoist Tianbao to know that he followed Xiao Ning all the way because he was ordered by the master.
It just so happened that he had been looking for someone to discuss with, so he could use this excuse to get over it.
"Like you, I also feel that there is something fishy about Xiao Ning."
Taoist Tianbao said according to the situation.
Hearing this, Taiyi took a deep look at Taoist Tianbao and said, "Speaking of which, I have another question. I remember that you were not so young when I saw you last time."
After saying that, Taiyi continued to stare into Taoist Tianbao's eyes.
There was one thing he didn't actually say, that is, Taoist Tianbao's strength was much stronger than last time.
"You have too many questions. The most important thing now is to find Xiao Ning, isn't it?"
Taoist Tianbao didn't want to answer Taiyi's question.
Taiyi continued to stare into Taoist Tianbao's eyes, and then looked away for a while.
"You are right, the most important thing now is to find Xiao Ning."
Taiyi spoke slowly.
Although he is very interested in the secrets of Taoist Tianbao, the most important thing now is to complete the orders issued by the master.
The Lord needs him to find Xiao Ning quickly instead of wasting too much time on Taoist Tianbao.
"Look for each other separately."
Taiyi suggested.
"I think so too."
Taoist Tianbao responded and quickly flew towards the crater.
Although he felt that it was unlikely that Xiao Ning would enter the interior of the volcano, he would still be worried if he didn't check.
When Taiyi saw Taoist Tianbao flying towards the crater, he started to check around the volcano.
After taking a few breaths, Taoist Tianbao came to the top of the crater and looked down into the interior.
"Um?"
Taoist Tianbao's eyes narrowed.
Judging from the situation inside the crater, it seems that Xiao Ning has really been here.
To be continued...
