214 It’s Very Dangerous Here
“Anissa, don’t let it escape!”
“Yes, Master!” After Anissa received the order, a pair of blood-condensed wings suddenly grew out of her back and she quickly chased after him.
After the Fire Swallowing Beast flew into the sky, it thought that it was safe. It was a little angry and planned to turn around and launch a sneak attack. However, just as it turned around and spat out the fireball in its mouth, it saw Anissa chasing after it.
It ferociously shot magma fireballs at Anissa. Anissa’s speed in the sky was not inferior to a flying creature at all. She dodged a few times and only took one hit.
However, this attack burned a few holes in her dress. Anissa was furious on the spot and directly threw the blood ball in her hand. The Fire Swallowing Beast could absorb flames, but it could not absorb the blood ball. Before it could react, it was heavily hit and fell to the ground.
The Fire Swallowing Beast was severely injured and could barely stand up. It could only watch as Anissa approached step by step.
The Fire Swallowing Beast had just caught its breath when Anissa jumped into the sky. She held her sword with both hands and slashed down like a waterfall. The Fire Swallowing Beast opened its eyes wide, but it could only meet the attack. Its wings shrank into a ball in front of it, but it was useless. Anissa’s attack had severely injured its wings, and it could not even fly.
At this moment, Ye Fan calmly said, “Kill!”
Anissa nodded and obeyed. Then, she raised the sword in her hand. Huge energy gathered on the sword. The Fire Swallowing Beast looked like it had accepted its fate and could not escape at all. Then, a sorrowful cry sounded as the Fire Swallowing Beast was killed.
Everyone’s eyes widened, it took them a while to react. This Ye Fan was really strong, even stronger than the rumors. After all, this Fire Swallowing Beast was not weak. If it were them, how confident would they be in escaping? Xiao Xiao was stunned for a few seconds. He thought to himself: At the cost of everyone being injured, they would at most have 30% confidence.
“Wow! Ye Fan, you are too amazing, seeing is believing, we are all stunned!” Xiao Wu said.
Ye Fan smiled and did not think much of it, but he did not expect to encounter a monster like the Fire Swallowing Beast as soon as he arrived, and it was even in the periphery. If he went deeper, he would only encounter stronger monsters, although it was not dangerous for him.
Seeing the materials dropped by the Fire Swallowing Beast, Ye Fan glanced at them and did not see what he wanted. However, the Green Stone Hunter Group’ eyes were wide open. Although the materials dropped were not very rare, many of them were worth a lot, enough for them to do missions for several years.
“There is nothing I want among these materials, you can do whatever you want.” Ye Fan said lightly.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu’s eyes lit up and she immediately rushed forward. She smiled and picked up a material she liked. “Commander, this Charming Fire Pill can’t be dropped anywhere else. Since Ye Fan said that he doesn’t want it, we won’t hold back!”
Xiao Xiao nodded. Seeing so many materials with high prices, he was also overjoyed.
The members of the Green Stone Hunter Group were processing the materials. Ye Fan rode the Firmament King into the sky to scout the way. He had been here once before, so he basically knew the way around the periphery. However, when he flew into the sky, he could not see clearly. There were mountains everywhere, and his vision was not very clear.
What shocked Ye Fan was that when he looked down from the sky, he seemed to have sensed something similar to a barrier. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to see anything. Although this exploration mission was not as simple as he had imagined, it did not change his mind about exploring the depths. Instead, he wanted to understand the secrets of this volcano even more. After all, up until now, there was not much detailed information about the volcano on the Internet. He only knew that there must be Rank-8 monsters in the depths.
The volcano contained the Essence of Heaven and Earth. The strength of the monsters that cultivated here increased extremely quickly. Therefore, this was an excellent place for cultivation. However, it was also a place where monsters were a threat. Although the Fire Swallowing Beasts were not as difficult to fight, Anissa had fought for nearly ten minutes. If a few more came, he might not be able to defeat them with just one pet.
Thus, he had to be more vigilant for the rest of the journey. Thinking of this, Ye Fan looked at the members of the Green Stone Hunter Group behind him and asked curiously: “You are on an exploration mission at the periphery, we will have to part ways here. My mission is to explore the depths, why don’t we say goodbye?”
Xiao Xiao was stunned and immediately said, “This place is very dangerous. The Fire Swallowing Beast is a monster that we won’t encounter even once every ten times. We encountered it as soon as we arrived. You can imagine the danger here. Are you sure you want to go deeper?”
Ye Fan nodded. He naturally had to go there after accepting the mission. Besides, he had the confidence to avoid the monsters alone. If he brought these people with him, it would probably be difficult to deal with the monsters without fighting.
“Could it be that Ye Fan has already found the entrance to the depths?” Zhang Xiong asked curiously.
He shook his head. “I think the entrance is hidden. There’s very little information about this volcano on the Internet. Do you know the entrance?”
Xiao Xiao shook his head. Actually, they had come once before to look for high-level materials, but the danger they encountered at that time almost made them unable to return. This time, they had all advanced to a higher level, so they wanted to try again. Moreover, according to reliable sources, there was not much danger in the periphery. The monsters that appeared were only Rank-6, so they took the risk to come over.
“A very small number of people have discovered the entrance, but what we’ve heard is that the entrance suddenly appeared. There’s no fixed location, but the general direction is southwest of the volcano.”
Ye Fan looked to the southwest. He indeed had a premonition that the entrance was there, but he could not see anything when he was on the Firmament King’s back, which meant that the entrance was definitely hidden. If he wanted it to appear, he could only wait for an opportunity.
Realizing this, Ye Fan thought for a while. Xiao Xiao thought that he had changed his mind. He smiled and comforted him: “I heard that almost no one can come out. Ye Fan, it is too risky for you to go alone. No one has completed this deep exploration mission, so it is not embarrassing for you to return empty-handed.”
Right now, Ye Fan was not thinking about whether he would lose face or not, but how to make the entrance appear. He did not want to retreat at all. While thinking, he suddenly heard a loud sound, followed by hurried footsteps.
“Boss, save me!” Xiao Wu shouted for help as she ran over.
When everyone saw clearly, they realized that not far behind her, there was a huge snake with fangs that was more than ten meters long and glowing with blue light. It opened its bloody mouth and chased after her.
