Chu Tian thought that this girl seemed not very bright.
In Xiao Hei's words, her compassion was overflowing.
She clearly hadn't suffered hardship or setbacks.
However... Chu Tian had a good impression of her.
Although he didn't agree with her actions, he admired her pure and unsullied nature.
"Xiao Hei, you take them to go first..."
Chu Tian saw that they had weathered the strongest wave of lava eruption.
The scattered volcanic rocks no longer posed a threat to them.
After speaking, he chased after the red-robed girl.
"Boss, that's your little sister-in-law! You have to bring her back... whole!"
Seeing Chu Tian chase after her, Xiao Hei shouted from behind.
The space they were in was filled with rising heat, causing chaotic air currents and constantly forming turbulent vortices.
Chu Tian had just dodged a turbulent flow when he heard Xiao Hei's words.
His body stumbled in mid-air, almost falling.
He glanced back at Xiao Hei and thought, why did his words seem to have a hidden meaning?
What did he mean by bringing her back whole? Did he think he was going to eat her?
At this moment, Xiao Hei was extremely worried.
Chu Tian had so many women around him, and they all seemed to have feelings for him.
He had finally encountered a fellow Qilin, and he hoped their boss wouldn't abduct her!
If Chu Tian knew what he was thinking, he would probably turn back immediately, pull out that big stick, and beat him until his head was full of bumps.
What use were the Flame Demon Pearl, the Core of the Earth, or anything of divine quality?
His reputation couldn't be ruined by this calculating fellow.
Chu Tian liked beautiful women, but he wasn't someone who flirted around.
Especially... this red-robed girl was a Fire Qilin.
Wouldn't that be... bestiality?
At the very least, for this reason alone, Chu Tian could not accept it.
Adjusting his stance, Chu Tian chased after the Fire Qilin Xiao Hong.
Her target was clear: the churning volcano.
"Let's go!" Xiao Hei said to Wei Jin and Miao Zuo as they watched them leave.
Miao Zuo was holding a spatial scroll and flipping through it.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "No rush..."
He reached into his spatial bag and pulled out a stack of colorful talismans.
There were also some wooden formation plates and other items. He waved a few wooden plates in his hand and said, "If something goes wrong, we can escape at any time."
Wei Jin knew that these must be the teleportation talismans he mentioned.
Chu Tian had killed that guy and retrieved the talismans Miao Zuo had lost.
Miao Zuo seemed to have grown teeth.
...
Rumble...
At this moment, the red-robed girl had reached directly above the volcano.
Chu Tian followed closely behind, and the air was covered by intense heat wherever he passed.
He noticed something strange: a massive chain flickered in the volcano. Xiao Hong quickly descended into the crater.
Soon, Chu Tian also followed nearby.
It was unclear if it was the effect of the Flame Demon Core.
After they descended, the churning volcanic magma gradually calmed down.
Although it was still fiery red, it was no longer so violent and began to slowly recede.
The chain that Chu Tian saw gradually revealed its true form.
This chain was very strange. As they descended with the magma, it became more visible.
When they got close, they didn't feel any heat from it; instead, a chilling aura spread out.
The coldness seemed unnatural, making Chu Tian's scalp tingle.
How could such a chain exist in the fiery volcano?
It was truly unfathomable to Chu Tian.
The chain extended downwards, directly into the magma below.
He didn't know how deep it went or what it was connected to.
Upon reaching this point, the red-robed girl looked at the bead in her hand, frowned, and hesitated.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to throw it down, I'll throw you down too."
Chu Tian followed behind her and stepped onto the chain.
He could tell that the girl genuinely had that intention.
"I don't!" The red-robed girl was stunned by Chu Tian's reprimand and retorted.
"Then what are you trying to do?" Chu Tian frowned.
"I want to go down. I feel like there's something I need below,"
The red-robed girl stared downwards, lost in thought, and said slowly.
Chu Tian looked down and thought that he definitely couldn't follow her if she wanted to go down.
However, Xiao Hei had entrusted him with bringing the girl back safely.
If she insisted on going down, he would have to knock her out and take her away.
Just as he thought of this, the magma that had calmed down below suddenly became restless again.
It began to bubble and churn.
Chu Tian frowned, closed his eyes, and his divine sense instantly probed downwards.
When he touched the magma, he felt a slight warmth.
He increased the output of his divine sense, wanting to see what was below.
A moment later, Chu Tian opened his eyes.
"You don't need to go down. Perhaps what you need is coming up."
"Ah?" The red-robed girl was stunned.
Immediately, a colossal object broke through the magma below and emerged.
"It's coming!"
Chu Tian murmured.
But he was still incredibly shocked.
"That's... that's my ancestor, the Red Flame Qilin... remains!"
As Chu Tian and Xiao Hong cautiously stood on the edge of the chain and peered out at the emerging giant object, Xiao Hong's mouth widened, and she almost cried out in surprise, covering her mouth.
She then tried to leap down.
"Don't get excited, let's observe first."
Chu Tian held back Xiao Hong, asking her to calm down, as the situation of the suddenly appearing giant corpse was still unclear.
"Boss... Boss..." Xiao Hong's face flushed. She didn't know Chu Tian's name.
She could only follow Mo Qilin, Xiao Hei, and call Chu Tian boss.
"My name is Chu Tian!"
The latter was slightly taken aback and smiled as he said.
"Yes, please, you must help me. I need to get that sword."
Xiao Hong pointed downwards, her face filled with anxiety, as if she couldn't wait a moment longer.
"Sword?" Chu Tian quickly looked down carefully.
Only then did he notice that next to the Red Flame Qilin's giant corpse, a fiery red longsword was floating.
Its color was the same as the magma, and Chu Tian hadn't noticed it before.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get it... but we'll have to wait a bit," Chu Tian said.
"Wait?" Xiao Hong was confused.
"Yes, something else hasn't come out yet!" Chu Tian said word by word.
When his divine soul had swept downwards, he had sensed an unusual aura.
That aura was peculiar: it was filled with deathly energy, yet it carried a strange life fluctuation.
The Red Flame Qilin's corpse gradually emerged entirely from the magma.
Finally, its tilted head also appeared.
At this very moment, Xiao Hong and Chu Tian both saw that the Red Flame Qilin was biting a strange creature in its mouth.
