Chapter Eighty-Three: The Volcanic Lake

  "Uh......, very beautiful!" Long Ge looked at Xiao Ling wearing a floral skirt, twirling in front of him, and suddenly a happy and familiar feeling surged up, as if it were the year Huo Wu wore a red skirt and danced in front of him. He said from his heart, "Really beautiful! Really beautiful!"

  "Hmm! Brother Long is biased, only praising Xiao Ling and not me!" Rose said. Today's Rose was wearing a white skirt, looking very pure and innocent, matching her fair skin and sparkling big eyes, which would attract many people's attention. However, Rose didn't care about others and also twirled around in front of Long Song, hoping to get his praise.

  "Uh...... you're also very beautiful!" Long Ge sincerely praised, then looked at Xiao Ling and continued to say, "You two are equally beautiful!"

  "Hehe!" "Haha!" Rose and Little Spirit burst out laughing, like two beautiful flowers, one a pure peony, the other a passionate rose!

  "Cough! Cough!......" Long Ti, who was standing beside them, couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted their conversation with a cough. "Dragon Song, leader of the Dragon Song Gang, are we going to the Volcano Lake or to admire the skirt?"

  Long Ge, Mei Gui and Xiao Ling all blushed!

  "Of course, we're going to the Volcano Lake!" Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from outside the courtyard. When the person entered, it turned out to be Long Xiao! And behind Long Xiao's senior, there were seven or eight people following him, all of whom were high-level experts and students from the High-Level Department!

  "Ah! Long Xiaoxue, how come you have time to find us?" Long Ge welcomed him with a smile.

  "Oh, Teacher Banpai knows you guys are also going to Huoshan Lake, it just so happens we're going too, so let's travel together!" Long Xiao said.

  "Haha! Thank you, and thank Teacher Banpai too!" Long Ge said with a smile, then thought to himself, "So Teacher Banpai also knew that I was being hunted down, and intentionally sent Long Xiao and the others to protect me. Although I can save my life now, if I just keep running away, Long Di and the others will be in danger. It's safer to be with Long Xiao and the others!"

  "No need to thank me! We're friends!" Long Xiao smiled and winked at Long Ge, "I'll make sure we arrive safely at the Mercenary Guild, then we can take a flying boat together to Volcano Lake!"

  "Haha! Then thank you, Dragon Laugh Shixiong first!" Long Ge said after turning his head to Rose and the others, "Rose, prepare breakfast. We'll finish our breakfast with Dragon Laugh Shixiong before we go!"

  "Good!" Rose heard and took out the food from the spatial ring obediently, while Xiao Ling helped on the side.

  After everything was set up, Long Xiao's team of eight people and Long Ge's team of six people started having breakfast in the courtyard. During breakfast, they chatted and laughed, filled with joyful voices and a warm atmosphere.

  After eating, Long Xiao and the others called another group of senior department students, then they all left the campus together. At this time, their total number was twenty-two, among them were sixteen senior department students with a high level of aura!

  "Longge has come out!" The several Imperial assassination squads that had been squatting outside for a day suddenly discovered that Longge had walked out of the school.

  "What! There are actually so many Qi Pao-level experts around!" However, the assassination squad saw sixteen Qi Pao-level senior disciples!

  "How should we proceed?" a member of the Flame Empire's team asked their captain, as the strongest fire-attribute element, they had the right to speak first.

  "We can't even beat a sixteen-star master, if we fail, it would be like beating the grass to scare away the snake, or creating an opportunity for another empire team. Let's not make the first move!" The captain of the Fire Empire assassination team said, and at this time they were enduring, waiting for other empire teams to take action first.

  But the other teams had the same idea, and until Longge and his team turned the corner, none of them dared to launch a surprise attack. In Jinling Imperial City, using force would lead to being surrounded and killed by the city's masters if they couldn't escape in time. This was also the reason why these teams didn't dare to attack.

  Long Song They were under the protection of Long Xiao Xue Lao and safely arrived at the Mercenary Guild.

  "Excuse me, are there any airship tickets to the Sea of Volcanoes available here?" Long Ge asked the beautiful waitress at the Mercenary Guild.

  "Ah!? You again! Didn't you guys go to Qulin Forest last year and still haven't returned?" The beautiful waitress was shocked.

  "Yes, hehe! This time we're going to Volcano Lake!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Haha!" The beautiful waitress almost laughed out tears, "You still want to go and die, no mid-level department student dares to go to the Volcano Lake, you think you want to die but don't be so impatient!"

  "Have you ever seen a student from the Lower Division go to the Hill of the Forest?" Long Ge asked with a smile.

  "It's just you two!" The waitress said with a twist of her snake-like waist.

  "So what do you see we have going on?" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Ah! You're more powerful than before, previously you were at the Qi Infant level, now what level are you at, I can't even see it!" The waiter asked in surprise, "How did you progress so quickly? It's only been a year, and you've progressed that much?"

  "Yes, it's only through constant challenges that we can progress!" Long Ge said, his eyes shining with determination.

  "Great! I really admire you guys! You've all made progress!" The waitress looked at Long Ge and the others, couldn't help but exclaimed.

  "So can you sell us the airship tickets to Volcano Lake now?" Long Ge looked at the waitress's eyes, which shone like stars and made one's heart beat faster!

  "I really don't want you to go, such talented people would just disappear like this, but I respect your wishes, how many tickets do you need?" The female attendant said with a hint of regret, possibly she had seen more students from the Academy die at Volcano Lake than in Hill Forest.

  "I'll take a look!" Long Ge turned his head to look at the tickets, Long Xiao and several seniors were escorting him. Long Ge didn't help buy a few tickets, it wasn't right. After looking, Long Ge said, "We need twenty-two tickets!"

  "Each one thousand gold coins, a total of twenty-two thousand gold coins!" The waitress said.

  "Here!" Long Ge handed over the card.

  "Uh-huh!" The waitress took the card, swiped it, and completed the transaction directly. Then she handed the card and ticket to Long Ge, but her expression seemed unwilling. Indeed, no one wanted to send a genius to an extremely dangerous place!

  "Don't worry! We'll be the first intermediate members to return safely from the Volcano Lake!" Long Ge smiled at the waitress.

  "Alright! I wish you a successful trip!" The waitress said.

  "Hmm!" Long Ge said and then went with Long Xiao to board the airship!

  Arriving at the airship dock, I found that many people had already arrived. There were countless people and countless airships. Almost all high-level department students had gathered here.

  Long Song They took their tickets and boarded an airship, which departed once it was full!

  In the airship.

  "Dragon Song Guild Master, what level are you now? How can I not see it?" Long Ti looked at Dragon Song in surprise, finding that he couldn't see Dragon Song's level after just one day of separation!

  "Oh, I just happened to have leveled up!" Long Ge said.

  "Wow!" Xiaoling stared at Longge carefully, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, you leveled up two levels in one day? How did you do it?"

  Upon hearing Xiaoling's words, everyone turned to Longge, who awkwardly said: "It was just an occasional breakthrough!"

  "Indeed, you're a genius!" Long Xiao gave a thumbs up and said, "At your rate of progress, I reckon that by the time you get promoted to the High-Level Department, I'll still be in the High-Level Department!" Long Xiao was currently at Qi Rank 6. To know that every subsequent promotion would take several years, so what Long Xiao said was also correct. At Long Ge's speed, it was estimated that he would enter the High-Level Department within two years.

  "Haha! From now on, I'll have to rely on Brother Long Xiao's care when I get to the advanced department!" Long Ge said.

  "Hehe, when the time comes, I'll remind you often in the advanced department." Long Xiao said with a smile, and then said meaningfully, "The advanced department is much more complicated than the intermediate department!"

  "How complicated is it?" Long Ge asked.

  "You'll know when the time comes!" Long smiled and said nothing more.

  Long Song didn't ask anymore and directly sat down to cultivate!

  Long Ti and they see Long Ge so diligent, also sit on the ground.

  After a day's journey, the airship finally arrived at the edge of the Volcano Lake.

  Since the Imperial Academy was established, a large number of senior students have come to the Volcano Lake for training every year. Over time, a small town has emerged on the edge of the Volcano Lake, and the name of the town is - Volcano Town.

  Long Song They landed the airship in a small volcanic town.

  After getting off the airship, I found that the small volcanic city had already gathered many high-level department students. They were all masters of the Gas Rank and lived in the hotel in the small volcanic city.

  The volcanic town was very large, so Long Ge and his party quickly found an inn to stay in.

  The high-level department has more than 80,000 people, and the hotel in the volcanic town can accommodate them, which shows that the volcanic town has also developed to a relatively advanced level!

  After registering at the hotel, Long Ge and his friends took a moonlit view of the volcanic lake.

  Standing on the edge of the volcanic lake, watching the volcanic lake, in fact, the volcanic lake is not a lake, but a huge volcanic group. The erupting volcanoes occasionally spew out thick black smoke, and the gray sky looks very gloomy.

  In such a harsh environment, the demonic beasts that can survive must be extremely powerful. What kind of powerful demonic beasts will Long Ge and his friends face?

  "Dragon Song Gang leader, what did you say we're going to do tomorrow for training?" Long Di asked Dragon Song.

  Long Song gazed out at the vast Lake of Fire, remaining silent for a long time.

  In the records, the Volcanic Lake is tens of thousands of miles in circumference, and the demonic beasts inside are incredibly powerful. No one has ever been able to fully explore the Volcanic Lake, perhaps because the demonic beasts that exist within it are not just at the Gas Condensation level, but also possibly at the Gas Rotation or even Gas King levels.

  "We'll proceed slowly! No rush, we'll take our time to temper ourselves! We must also preserve our own lives!" Long Song said solemnly after a long moment of contemplation.

  Long Song is rarely so serious, perhaps only such a serious person can survive in a more dangerous environment!
