“Xiao Hei…”

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, shouting anxiously.

“Qin’er, quickly call Xiao Hei back!”

“I want to call it back, but how can I now?”

Li Qin said with a wry smile. As soon as Xiao Hei jumped into the magma, it was submerged without a trace, without even a hint of struggle, obviously dead.

Everyone’s faces were filled with sorrow. Li Qin blamed herself, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let it go down alone. No matter how human-like it is, it’s just a fox after all!”

But Chen Xiao suddenly laughed.

“Haha, I say, you guys, is it necessary to be like this? Xiao Hei is also a Jindan (Golden Core) stage expert, this little bit of magma can’t do anything to it!”

Hearing Chen Xiao’s words, everyone was stunned.

Li Qin asked again to confirm, “Big Brother Chen, do you mean that Xiao Hei is okay?”

Chen Xiao grinned, “You underestimate the physical strength of a Jindan expert too much. Don’t worry, Xiao Hei is fine. I’ll go down and see where that little thing ran off to!”

As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone could react, Chen Xiao jumped up and leapt straight down from the crater.

A few seconds later, there was a ‘plop’, and Chen Xiao’s body disappeared into the rolling magma.

The crowd looked at each other, all dumbfounded.

“Chen Xiao, he jumped down?”

“Seems like it…”

“Will he be alright?”

“I don’t know!”

After a moment of silence, everyone shouted down below.

“Chen Xiao (Big Brother), are you okay!”

“If you’re okay, at least tell us!”

“…”

The surface of the magma rolled as before, without any response. At this moment, Chen Xiao was already swimming in the magma, as if he had jumped into the sea.

Of course, the resistance of magma is much greater than that of seawater, and the temperature is also much hotter.

But none of this could stop Chen Xiao. After all, the Canglan Sacred Body (Azurewave Sacred Body) wasn’t just for show. Even if the temperature rose by another thousand degrees, it wouldn’t burn him to death!

Chen Xiao kept swimming down and finally saw Xiao Hei’s figure.

At this time, Xiao Hei was using a dog-paddle, constantly sinking.

“Xiao…”

Chen Xiao wanted to call out to Xiao Hei, but as soon as he opened his mouth, magma flowed in, forcing him to close his mouth tightly.

But before long, Chen Xiao understood what Xiao Hei was doing.

It turned out it was heading for a big tree.

The visibility in the magma was extremely low, but Chen Xiao had his divine sense, so he could clearly see the surrounding situation without using his eyes.

It was an unremarkable tree, only about three meters tall.

But everyone knew that a tree that could grow in magma and have lush foliage would definitely not be an ordinary tree.

Finally, Xiao Hei swam to the side of the tree, and Chen Xiao also slowly landed, with a thick layer of volcanic ash under his feet.

The feeling underfoot was very peculiar, very soft, but exceptionally solid.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Xiao saw that what he was stepping on was actually Ten-Thousand-Year Earth-Core Rock.

If this were outside, it would be a priceless treasure, and it could be used in medicine.

Chen Xiao did not hesitate, scooping up a handful of Ten-Thousand-Year Earth-Core Rock and putting it into the Yin-Yang Jade.

But how could one handful be enough of such a good thing?

For the next half hour or so, Chen Xiao spent his time constantly scooping up Ten-Thousand-Year Earth-Core Rock.

Only when the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth-Core Rock in the Yin-Yang Jade had piled up into a small mountain did Chen Xiao stop.

And Xiao Hei tilted its head, watching from the side.

It watched Chen Xiao disappear and reappear, appear and disappear, repeatedly… its little head was full of question marks.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao laughed in his heart.

He patted Xiao Hei’s head, thinking that once he got the branches, they could call it a day!

The bottom of this magma was full of good things.

Chen Xiao vaguely felt that there were other treasures beneath this Ten-Thousand-Year Earth-Core Rock.

However, opportunity is often accompanied by danger. The Zhu Jiuyin (Torch Dragon) on the surface was already so strong, who knew what other terrifying things were inside.

What’s more, there were still companions waiting for him outside. Chen Xiao had to temporarily dismiss the idea of continuing to dig down, and after taking the branches, he returned to the surface.

The branches at the top of the Scarletblood Tree were easy to find, because the entire Scarletblood Tree seemed to be completely integrated, and only the branches at the very top seemed to be different from the other parts.

Chen Xiao gently snapped it, and the top branch was taken into his hand.

The branch was about a meter long and as thick as a finger. It felt heavy in the hand, not like a branch, but more like some kind of extremely dense metal.

Chen Xiao didn’t look at it much. After putting away the branch, he reached out and beckoned to Xiao Hei, signaling that the task was completed and they could go back.

Xiao Hei understood and immediately wagged its big tail, swimming upwards.

Chen Xiao thought it was swimming too slowly, so he reached out and pulled it into his arms, then suddenly shot upwards!

Bang…

Chen Xiao rushed out of the surface of the magma, and then used the slightly protruding edges of the rock, rapidly ascending like an ape.

The people on the ground were already dumbfounded.

Not to mention that Chen Xiao came out of the magma unscathed, just the fact that he was climbing on the rocks like a big spider was enough to make them feel incredible.

But thinking that this was the existence that could behead Zhu Jiuyin with a single sword, it was not surprising that he could do anything.

After returning to the ground, Chen Xiao showed the Scarletblood Tree branch to everyone, and everyone marveled.

Li Mu said with an excited face, “Yes, yes, this is exactly the same as described in the book, heavier than gold and harder than meteorite iron… but, I never thought that this Scarletblood Tree would actually grow in magma. I really don’t know how my ancestors discovered it!”

Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn’t help but reveal a smug look on his face, as if to say that his ancestors were once wealthy.

But thinking that there was a god-like existence standing in front of him, who was many times stronger than his ancestors, the little smugness in his heart instantly disappeared.

Everyone had boarded the island in the morning, and now the sun was setting in the west, and it was almost evening.

Enjoying the sunset, everyone’s face was full of comfort. This would definitely be an unforgettable day for everyone!

And Chen Xiao was the biggest footnote of this day.

“Okay, it’s getting late, let’s hurry back to the ship before dark!”

Chen Xiao was not in the mood to appreciate the sunset. He was now eager to return, just wanting to repair the Seven Fiends Blood Banner as soon as possible and summon his mother’s soul.

Everyone responded, only He Xinyi said with a sad face, “Can you wait for me? I’m afraid I can’t go back yet.”

He Xinyi had spent all her savings for this trip, but it turned out to be a fruitless effort.

But compared to those who died, she was already lucky.

After all, she was the instigator, but she survived.
