Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 552 Unparalleled Level!

"Tsk tsk, it's been a long time since I've been to this Fiery Melt Mountain. Maybe I'll even find some rare and precious treasures!"

Dyed red, he rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

Leng Qinghan also controlled the cloud boat and descended at the foot of the Fire Melt Mountain.

"somebody is coming!"

Just as Ran Hongfu and Leng Qinghan were about to enter the Fire Melt Mountain, Su Ruochen suddenly spoke up.

"Is there someone? Who?"

Ran Hongfu was taken aback, and Leng Qinghan also looked puzzled.

But Su Ruochen looked towards the dark sky behind him.

Sure enough, right after Su Ruochen's voice fell, a beam of light, like a streak of fire, pierced the sky and landed not far from the three of them a few breaths later.

Ran Hongfu gazed intently and was startled to discover that it was also a cloud boat shrouded in a faint aura of fire.

At this moment, there was only one person on the cloud boat, who stood tall and proud, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Yuan Shan!?"

The newcomer was none other than Yuan Shan, the son of the city lord of Ziyang City!

"Qinghan, I heard you came to Fire Melt Mountain to gather herbs, so I rushed to catch up with you. Luckily, I made it in time." Yuan Shan put away the cloud boat and quickly stepped forward with a smile.

"No need."

But Leng Qinghan frowned and shook his head slightly.

Now that Su Ruochen is here, she doesn't want to be misunderstood.

"Qinghan, things haven't been peaceful at Firemelt Mountain lately. I'm here to protect you." A hint of anger flashed deep in Yuan Shan's eyes, but he still smiled.

"What are you saying? Even if Firemelt Mountain is dangerous, I'm still here, aren't I?" Ran Hongfu said, frowning as she crossed her arms.

“But I am at the Core Formation stage, so it’s safer for me.” Yuan Shan just smiled and did not give up.

"Let him come along!"

Before Leng Qinghan could speak again, Su Ruochen suddenly spoke.

If this person stays in the shadows, it will actually be a troublesome matter.

"In that case, let's go together."

Although Leng Qinghan didn't understand why Su Ruochen said that, he still agreed. Then he added, "However, we came here to help Young Master Ruochen find herbs. If we find any, they can only belong to him."

"Hehe, don't worry, there aren't any herbs in this Firemelt Mountain that are worth fighting for. I don't want anything." Yuan Shan shrugged.

However, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Su Ruochen concealed a murderous intent.

Leng Qinghan came here just to find medicine for Su Ruochen!?

If given the chance, he would spare no effort to kill this person within this Fiery Mountain.

"Let's go into the mountains!"

Su Ruochen, however, had grown impatient and turned to head into the Fire Melt Mountain.

Leng Qinghan quickly followed, saying, "Let me lead the way. The fire vine grass is deep in the mountains and not easy to find!"

Immediately, she raised her slender hand and touched her brow with her index finger. In an instant, a green fairy grass pattern flashed on her brow.

"This way!"

The next moment, she pointed to the north of the Fiery Mountain.

"I'll clear the way!"

Ran Hongfu rose to her feet in response, and a long sword engulfed in flames flew out from behind her, landing at her feet and carrying her into the dark mist ahead.

Su Ruochen shook his head upon seeing this.

The atmosphere in this Fiery Mountain is indeed somewhat strange, and the demonic energy permeating the air is very turbulent.

Under the shroud of divine sense, there seemed to be a powerful demon hidden within, at least at the Core Formation stage.

In addition to the abnormal reaction of the dragon soul earlier, it is clear that this place is anything but simple.

Thus, the four-person team gradually ventured deeper into the Firemelt Mountain, even though the monsters within the mountain were unusually active today.

With Ran Hongfu, a sword cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, leading the way, the journey was quite easy.

But gradually the fog ahead grew thicker and thicker, even severely affecting everyone's spiritual senses.

In addition, it was dark outside, and if it weren't for Leng Qinghan's sensitivity to herbs, Ran Hongfu, who was in charge of leading the way, would probably have gotten lost long ago.

Soon, half a day later, the four of them found their way to the entrance of a canyon inside the Firemelt Mountain.

A thicker, foul-smelling fog billowed from the canyon, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"Qinghan, are you sure we're in this canyon?"

Dyed Red, he asked.

"That's right!"

Leng Qinghan stood up from the ground, clutching a few fiery red spirit herbs in her hand, and said, "Scattered fire vines have already begun to appear here."

"it is good."

With a touch of red, he nodded, then his long sword trembled slightly as he prepared to rush in.

"You'd better be careful; what's inside is not easy to deal with."

But at that moment, Su Ruochen suddenly spoke up to remind him.

"Heh, what, you can sense what's inside?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Hongfu laughed sarcastically and then disappeared into the mist.

"Qinghan, don't worry, I'm here. I will make sure nothing happens to you."

At this moment, Yuan Shan came to Leng Qinghan's side and said.

Leng Qinghan seemed not to hear, but looked at Su Ruochen beside her and said, "Young Master Ruochen, don't worry, I will definitely help you find the Phoenix Flame Fruit."

"Okay, thanks." Su Ruochen simply nodded.

"Hehe, that's interesting. Anyone can be a gigolo now."

"If you have no power, are you only able to cling to women?"

Yuan Shan's face turned ashen, and he spoke with sarcasm.

But Su Ruochen merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Is someone jealous because they can't afford this kind of food?"

"Shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan was even more shocked and furious.

Before he could speak again, Ran Hongfu's exclamation suddenly rang out from the mist ahead, followed by the sound of sword energy breaking through the wind and the roar of demonic beasts.

The three men's expressions changed slightly, and they rushed over, but they soon discovered that Ran Hongfu was entangled by more than a dozen black falcons in the mist ahead.

These black falcons were all over ten feet tall, and their rank was all above the second level. Such demonic beasts were comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators in terms of combat power, and their speed was extremely fast, making it very difficult for Ran Hongfu.

"What's going on? How come we've encountered so many second-tier demonic beasts as soon as we entered?!"

At this moment, Ran Hongfu's face was filled with anger.

Although she is not afraid of these black falcons with her current cultivation level, she cannot get rid of them in a short time.

Moreover, it seemed that Su Ruochen had indeed predicted this situation, which made her even more ashamed and angry.

Although Leng Qinghan's cultivation has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage, his own combat strength is not strong. Seeing this, he can only feel anxious but does not know what to do.

"Heh, just a dozen or so second-tier demonic beasts!"

At this moment, Yuan Shan let out a cold laugh.

After waiting for so long, it's finally his turn to shine!

hum!

He suddenly rose into the air, and a golden longbow appeared in his hand. The longbow had no arrows, but as Yuan Shan drew the bowstring, golden spiritual arrows suddenly condensed on the longbow!

With a whooshing sound, an arrow shot out and killed a black falcon almost instantly!

In less than a few breaths, Yuan Shan fired thirteen arrows in succession, clearing out all the black falcons around Ran Hongfu.

"Thanks!"

Ran Hongfu smiled at Yuan Shan, a hint of envy rising in her eyes. It was indeed too easy for a Core Formation stage cultivator to deal with these black falcons.

"Easy to do!"

Yuan Shan put away his longbow and then looked at Leng Qinghan with an arrogant expression.

"We can't delay here, let's hurry on our way."

But at this moment, Su Ruochen spoke coldly.

"Heh, you're just a burden, yet you talk a lot."

"Qinghan, don't worry. Even if a lot of monsters appear here, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems!"

Yuan Shan chuckled.

"idiot."

Su Ruochen cursed under his breath.

Sure enough, before Yuan Shan's voice could even finish, countless sharp, tearing sounds suddenly arose from the surrounding mist.

The fog suddenly became turbulent.

Yuan Shan's expression changed slightly. The next moment, he discovered that large patches of scarlet light appeared in the swirling mist around him, like will-o'-the-wisps from hell!

And these are all second-tier Black Falcons!

There are far more than a hundred of them!
