Chapter 2246 - 644: Vermilion Bird_2
Zhang Yufeng took the timetable, glanced at it quickly, and firmly memorized it.
"Xiao Hei, Zixuan, you two come with me." An Yiqing glanced at everyone, "Remember, you must ensure your own safety, got it!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in a low roar.
"Alright, let’s move out!"
An Yiqing led Long Zixuan and Xiao Hei toward the most dangerous place of Lemin Mountain—the Volcano Summit. Although Lemin Mountain hadn’t erupted for hundreds of years, it didn’t mean it would remain dormant indefinitely. The summit of Lemin Mountain is the volcano’s crater, and it’s the most dangerous place.
With Long Zixuan, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, An Yiqing and the others swiftly flew to the Lemin Mountain Summit. Standing on the edge of the crater, An Yiqing stepped on the ash left by the volcanic eruptions and gazed into the distance.
"Little Green, any sensation?" A green light flashed, and the Soul Severing Grass appeared in An Yiqing’s hand.
Little Green shook its head. It and Nuan Yin are both spiritual creatures, but not the same type. It would only sense something if the distance was very close.
"Looks like Nuan Yin should not be near the crater." Long Zixuan said.
An Yiqing lightly pressed her red lips and nodded her head. She squinted her eyes slightly, bowing her head to look down.
Clairvoyant Eye activated, penetrating through layers of obstructions, revealing nothing but darkness. Underneath the crater lies a long volcanic channel. Surrounding it is pitch black, devoid of any light. Little Green says, when Nuan Yin sleeps, it emits a yellow glow; it seems it’s not here.
"Let’s go down and take another look."
Flying down from the crater, An Yiqing and the others landed at the lower part of the mountain summit. Little Green still did not sense Nuan Yin’s presence, nor did An Yiqing’s Clairvoyant Eye see anything.
Lemin Mountain is too vast; An Yiqing’s Clairvoyant Eye can see only a limited range, unable to survey the entire mountain.
After viewing over a dozen locations, An Yiqing’s eyes began to feel sore and painful, and her spiritual power started to thin. She closed her eyes and rubbed them gently, realizing this wasn’t a viable approach.
"Sister An, Lemin Mountain is too big. When Nuan Yin is sleeping, Little Green can only sense within two thousand meters, unable to precisely detect. For now, we can only wait for others to survey the internal temperatures of various regions of Lemin Mountain, identify the hottest spot, and then search." Long Zixuan suggested.
An Yiqing nodded and opened her eyes, offering a bitter smile, "I was too impatient."
"I understand you’re anxious, Sister An, but exhausting your eyes like this, General Gu will be saddened." Long Zixuan gently reassured her.
"Alright, I won’t do it again." An Yiqing exhaled lightly, held Xiao Hei’s hand, "Let’s go, down the mountain; we’ll wait for them at the destination."
At eight in the evening, the Thirteen Blood Generals were preparing to gather in the small forest. Their clothes showed multiple tears, clearly indicating that mountain climbing and surveying were definitely not easy tasks.
"Everyone worked hard, let’s talk after returning."
When An Yiqing and the others returned to the manor, it was already past eleven at night. Everyone quickly took a shower and had a meal before An Yiqing asked them to report the investigation results.
"Miss, we compared the temperatures at several locations earlier and found two places with very similar temperatures, about eight hundred degrees. However, due to limited conditions and insufficient equipment, we were only able to survey eighty percent of the volcano’s internal area. The central positions couldn’t provide accurate reports."
An Yiqing glanced at the data handed over by An Zhifeng and Zhang Yufeng. In Lemin Mountain, two places surveyed showed subsurface temperatures reaching eight hundred degrees, while other places were only five to six hundred degrees. Comparing those two locations, their depths are very close to the crust and lava depth.
An Yiqing quickly estimated in her mind that these two locations should be near the intersection of the volcanic channel and the crust’s parallel line.
Frowning deeply, she wondered how Nuan Yin managed to get into the volcano’s depths. How could they reach there? Also, the temperature of an active volcano during dormancy can be as high as a thousand degrees; how could they approach Nuan Yin?
These were all problems.
An Yiqing voiced these issues, and everyone remained silent.
After a long silence, a flash of golden light appeared, and Old Jin emerged rolling out of the Ancient Space.
"I have a Barrier that can resist high temperatures. But if you want to touch Nuan Yin directly, I can’t help."
At this moment, Xiao Hei blinked and said, "Xuanwu’s main skill is defense. Sister An, why don’t you let me try?"
