This lean man looked at the other's attire and his face changed greatly: "You're from the Guiyuan Sect!"

  Nowadays, the people from several major sects at the foot of Flame Mountain are all in the same attire, easy to identify. When encountering these major sects' personnel, ordinary martial artists will choose to avoid them.

  "I'll definitely be caught if I go down now, my current strength can't escape the capture of the Guiyuan Sect! There's no other way!" The thin man took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and grabbed the rattan to climb up quickly. After all, he was also a martial artist, and his climbing speed was very fast.

  If he jumps down, he will definitely be caught.

  Is it possible to escape into the cave under the morning peach blossom? The other party will also enter the cave and catch up quickly.

  Climb up in the morning, if you climb fast, you can reach the top of this low cliff and still have hope.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the lean man who was climbing rapidly up the cliff.

  "Governor, shall we not give chase?" Du Hong asked somewhat anxiously.

  Teng Qing Shan smiled faintly and picked up two broken stones from the ground, then looked up at the steep cliff where a lean man was climbing without any vines to grab onto. With a casual flick of his wrist, one of the stones shot out like a meteor, swiftly crossing the sky and accurately hitting the lean man's right arm.

  "Ah!" The lean man grasped the rock with his right hand and let out a painful cry.

  The whole person lost his balance and fell down involuntarily.

  This is over ten zhang high, if you jump down, at most it's just a fracture. But this lean man has lost his center of gravity, falling backwards with his head facing downwards, even a top martial artist would be smashed to death.

  Wow!

  Hong Qing Shan transformed into a gust of wind and faced the human body that was falling from high altitude like a cannonball, stretching out his hand...

  Over ten zhang, that's about forty meters high, equivalent to a building of over ten floors in the mortal world. Falling from such a height would generate tremendous impact force. Even a top martial artist attempting to catch him with their hands would likely have their arms broken. Teng Qing Shan's right hand supported the lean man for a moment, dissipating about 90% of the impact force before releasing him to fall freely.

  Pong!

  With nine-tenths of the force of the blow neutralized, the lean man fell to the ground with only a slight feeling of oppression in his chest and no serious injury.

  In fact, that impact force, Teng Qing Shan can completely single-handedly hard-receive. But if Teng Qing Shan hard-receives, Teng Qing Shan himself will be fine, but the thin Hanzi will probably be shaken to death. Can only use this kind of gentle method.

  "I know the secret of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, and now he's saving me. I reckon he's not clear about the situation inside the cave, so he wants me to lead the way. Once they find the Black Fire Spirit Fruit! They'll definitely kill me to silence me, they won't let me leave freely, they want to monopolize the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!" The thin man wasn't a fool, he was also an old hand.

  It's clear that anyone who finds the Black Flame Fruit will react with a desire to monopolize it!

  He fell to the ground, suddenly swung his hand, and a cold light stabbed towards Teng Qing Shan's chest at close range. Immediately afterwards, he pushed off with both hands and was about to dash far away with a whooshing sound.

  "Clang!" Teng Qing Shan's finger flicked out, and with a burst of internal energy, he sent the dagger flying.

  Watching the lean man sprinting away, Teng Qing Shan threw out another stone in his hand.

  "Ah!" The lean man's right leg bent involuntarily and he fell flat on his buttocks.

  "If you run again, I'll kill you!" The cold voice sounded in his ears, and the thin man who was still thinking of escaping felt a wave of despair. He knew that he hadn't escaped earlier when he was suddenly attacked, so now it was even more impossible to escape. He wasn't someone looking for death.

  He rubbed his right leg and stood up, turning to look at Teng Qing Shan with a forced smile: "You heroes of the Return to Origin Sect..."

  "Is there a Black Fire Spirit Fruit inside that cave?" Teng Qing Shan asked directly.

  The slender Han man was taken aback, and his opponent's guess was surprisingly accurate.

  "Yes!" The thin man nodded.

  At this moment, Du Hong and Teng Qinghu rushed over with a group of people. Upon hearing the words, they were all overjoyed. "Qingshan, your guess was actually correct! The Hei Huo Ling Guo is indeed in this valley. We've been running around randomly before." Teng Qinghu said, Teng Qingshan's face revealed a hint of a smile, he had simply made an educated guess based on the direction that the Jisu beast had fled in.

  At once, Teng Qing Shan ordered: "Qing Hu, Old Du, you two follow me into the cave, the rest of you just pretend to search for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit around here. Wait until we come out."

  "It is, all of them." A group of people whispered in low voices.

  That lean man looked at Teng Qing Shan with a mixture of shock and fear: "It's true, this is Teng Qing Shan, the leader of the Gui Yuan Sect. No wonder he was able to easily catch me when I fell from 16 or 17 meters high. And no wonder he was able to easily block my sneak attack at such close range."

  Knowing his identity, the thin man didn't dare resist anymore.

  Teng Qing Shan looked around him.

  There is no one around the canyon now, and the canyon itself is relatively secretive. Even if someone comes to search, it's a very small number of people. Those who didn't find anything when they searched generally won't search again.

  "We're going into the cave," said Teng Qing Shan.

  He immediately grabbed the thin man's clothes with his left hand, jumped up directly, and was seven or eight feet high. His right hand casually grasped a protruding rock, borrowed force to fly again, and then used his foot to tap once before flying directly to the cave entrance, lifting the rattan curtain and entering the cave.

  Teng Qinghu and Du Hong both used their hands and feet, and climbed up swiftly.

  Both of them were first-rate martial artists, and they climbed up in just a few moves. After several breaths, they entered the cave.

  ……

  Hong Qing Shan once again put down the rattan man and covered the entrance of the cave.

  The cave passage is quite dim, but the height of the passage is over one zhang, no need to bow or bend.

  "You lead the way ahead." Teng Qing Shan instructed indifferently.

  Du Hong, who was beside him, shouted at the thin man, "You little rascal, if you dare to play tricks again, General Du won't move his hands, I'll pierce you with a single spear!" At this time, Du Hong and others also took out their long spears from behind their backs, and Teng Qing Shan held the long spear that was on his back in his hand.

  Inside the cave, everything is unknown, be careful.

  "Gentlemen, please be at ease. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to escape again in front of General Teng." The lean man bowed and said, "General Teng, gentlemen, I'll lead the way ahead." With that, the lean man proceeded to lead them deeper into the cave.

  Although he said so, the thin man's heart was anxious: "Which of these major factions is kind and soft-hearted? Now I still have use value, once they see the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, they will probably kill me to silence me. I must find a good opportunity."

  Although he feared Mount Tai Qing, he was even more afraid of being killed and silenced.

  Thinking in his mind where he could escape, but on the surface, he said cheerfully: "Zongtong, this passage is not long. The big rift is just ahead!"

  "Fissure?"

  Teng Qing Shan felt that he had walked for over a hundred meters before seeing a large crevice that was about one zhang wide. The crevice was pitch black and seemed bottomless. However, there was a faint fiery aura emanating from it, wafting towards him.

  Du Hong shouted: "Little boy, how did you get down there?"

  That lean man said repeatedly: "Everyone, this crack is at least a hundred feet deep. If someone falls down, they will definitely die. I also spent half the night running to the other side of the cliff and collecting some sturdy vines. I tied a very long rope over there!"

  As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby place, where there was indeed a sturdy rattan man.

  "I'll go first." Teng Qing Shan said, then looked at the thin man, "You're second, Qing Hu, Old Du, you two follow behind." Teng Qing Shan was worried that the thin man would play some trick.

  "Go!" Teng Qing Shan once again slung the Wheel of Reincarnation Gun behind his back, then leapt down, his feet touching the cliff wall as he grabbed onto the rattan rope and rapidly descended.

  "Hurry up." Du Hong shouted at the man.

  That thin man followed closely behind.

  As he slid down, Teng Qing Shan also discovered that the deeper part of the crack was getting darker and darker: "Even with my eyesight, I can barely see a distance of five or six meters! If it were an ordinary first-rate warrior, they would probably only be able to see their own hands." Teng Qing Shan also felt a wave of scorching hot sulfuric air rushing towards him.

  More and more intense!

  All the way down, the temperature continued to rise, and the scorching hot air grew thicker.

  Pfft!

  Teng Qing Shan finally landed: "Hmm, about a hundred zhang around! According to the height of the cliff cave, where I am now should be deeper than the bottom of the canyon by more than ten zhang!" In an instant, that lean man and Du Hong, Teng Qinghu, and three others also arrived at the bottom.

  "Lead the way." Teng Qing Shan said.

  That lean man familiarly walked in front, saying: "General Teng, this is the depths of the earth, it's especially hot." In front, there was gradually some red light, even though it was a weak glow, Teng Qing Shan could see clearly dozens of meters away, and saw that in front of him there was a vague shallow red mist.

  "Red?" Du Hong was somewhat surprised.

  "Hengdu Tong, it's actually just water vapor!" said the thin man.

  "Water vapor should be white mist, who are you trying to cheat? Are you trying to play tricks?" Deng Qinghu shouted. The thin man hastily explained, "Everyone, I dare not cheat you, this is really white mist! It's just because it's too hot here that water vapor appears."

  Heng Qing Shan also found that the temperature was getting hotter and hotter.

  Although it's hot in the canyon, it's still within a reasonable range, but now it's getting a bit exaggerated.

  As they entered the "red fog" together, Teng Qing Shan immediately confirmed that it was indeed ordinary water vapor. Gradually, he heard a 'gurgling' sound, similar to the sound of boiling water. Teng Qing Shan placed his right hand on the lean man's shoulder and followed him along the way.

  "This Tong Qing Mountain is really cautious." The thin Han man felt the hand on his shoulder, "This place is best to escape from, but..."

  The original plan was to escape from this place.

  There is no way.

  Keep going!

  After walking tens of yards, the fog became thinner and the "gurgling" sound grew clearer. Finally, Teng Qing Shan and his group of people walked out of the foggy area.

  "This is——" Tong Qinghu and Du Hong were dumbfounded.

  "That must be the volcanic rock described in the book!"

  Hong Qing Shan gazed at the fiery red molten lava in front of him, its liquid flowing slowly while occasionally bubbling up, the terrifying temperature even causing Du Hong and the others to stir up their inner energy.

  "Magma!" Teng Qing mountain was very clear what this is, "The magma layer should be in the deepest part of the earth, did not expect that about two or three hundred meters under the ground, there is a flow of magma. It seems...this place has had volcanic eruptions before, it's true."
