Free Web NovelChapter 1806: Chapter 1806: The Five Great Lords
A thousand miles beyond the First Line Pass, lies a village in ruins.
Li Feng and his group entered these ruins before nightfall. Amidst this wilderness, despite it being just a ruin, the traces left by humans provided a slight sense of security.
Stepping into the ruins, Sikong Yu glanced around, then came to a spot among the broken walls, fumbled for a bit, and suddenly the dilapidated walls seemed to vanish like a mirage, revealing a complete courtyard.
Seeing this, Li Feng directly stepped into the courtyard. Though small, this courtyard was well-equipped, and there wasn’t even any dust.
"Wow, I thought we’d be roughing it on the way, didn’t expect such a nice place."
Sikong Yu, seeing Li Feng making himself at home, felt a surge of anger, and coldly snorted with a frosty expression.
"Get out. Did I invite you in?"
Li Feng ignored her completely: "Have the personal guards set up camp nearby, we’ll rest here tonight." Having said that, Li Feng headed straight for the main house of the courtyard.
"Li Feng."
Sikong Yu chased after Li Feng and stormed into the main house.
Ran Yue frowned, wanting to follow, but was stopped by Shadow: "They’re just flirting, why are you trying to go in?"
"Which eye of yours saw them flirting?"
"Didn’t see it? Well, if you didn’t see, forget it. If you want to go, I won’t stop you, but don’t blame me if you get kicked out."
After saying that, Shadow turned and walked towards a side room.
The Personal Guard Camp set up camp around the small courtyard. Soon, a bonfire was lit, and the spiritual beasts hunted along the way became the meal.
Meanwhile, a Three-Eyed Raven silently landed on a nearby old tree, its three eyes watching the camp.
Inside the room of the main house.
Facing Li Feng’s shamelessness, Sikong Yu was helpless. Just by fists and kicks, she was no match for him, and even her Bloodline Power was weaker than his, completely restrained. If they really fought, she’d end up losing.
Sikong Yu calmed down.
"Calmed down?"
Li Feng squinted at Sikong Yu, who was cold-faced. Sikong Yu merely snorted without responding, but Li Feng continued.
"Your Sikong family has probably been to the Vermilion Bird Land many times, right? Can you tell me about it?"
Though the map marked the route in detail, there was no description of the destination, Vermilion Bird Land. Li Feng had gathered some information, but it was very vague.
The Vermilion Bird Land is said to be a torn land full of volcanoes and is notoriously forbidden. Few live there, mostly Fire Element beings, including both spiritual beasts and spiritual bodies.
The ground itself is already scorching hot, but the surface is just the tip of this forbidden land. It’s said the place where the Vermilion Bird slumbers is underground.
Molten Lava Cave.
It is said that Magma Rivers flow underground in the Vermilion Bird Land, with massive caves like mazes. The number of levels is unknown to anyone.
"Don’t want to say."
"Do you still want to fight?" Li Feng smirked looking at Sikong Yu. Sikong Yu’s face flushed red.
"How are you so shameless."
"So, are you going to tell or not?" Li Feng looked at Sikong Yu with a mischievous smile. Sikong Yu glared at him.
"The Vermilion Bird Land, also known as Molten Rock Hell, is located in the Southern area of this world, stretching three thousand miles, with dense volcanoes that frequently erupt, making the place extremely inhospitable."
"Molten Rock Hell comprises both surface and cave regions. The surface is divided into five areas, each ruled by an Overlord Level flame lord."
"These five lords are Molten Lava Scorpion, Earth Fire Python, Fire Ant Queen, Bi Fang Bird, and Fire Qilin."
"All five lords have Overlord strength, guarding the four directions. To find the Vermilion Bird, one must venture into the Molten Lava Cave, and the entrance is in the Fire Qilin’s lair."
Listening, Li Feng took a deep breath: "So, to find the Vermilion Bird, you must pass through the territories and lairs of at least two Overlords?"
Overlord Beasts vary in strength. Those in the Wilderness ruling a region are relatively weaker, while those in forbidden areas are stronger.
"Does your Sikong family have any secret passages?"
"No."
Sikong Yu answered resolutely.
"Really no?" Li Feng skeptically asked again.
Sikong Yu coldly snorted, "If there really were, do you think my Sikong family would keep sending people to their deaths off and on?"
"If you insist, it would depend on luck. The only good news is that the Overlord Fire Qilin guarding the entrance died in battle years ago. So, the current guardian is merely its reincarnated juvenile form, thus weaker."
"If we get through several external areas, the entrance is relatively easier."
"Oh, then just tell me the route." Li Feng didn’t believe Sikong family had no route. If it came to intruding, facing Overlord Beasts would surely require Sikong family’s full effort.
Sikong Yu rolled her eyes.
"I’ve told you, really none. To reach the cave entrance, you can only walk the boundary area of the two lords, since it’s their boundary, they rarely appear, but even so, it’s not easy."
"Overlord Level lords have numerous subordinates, for example, Molten Lava Scorpion and Fire Ant Queen even have large colonies. Though not strong, they have strength in numbers."
"Bi Fang Bird and Molten Lava Python have smaller numbers but are powerful. Bi Fang Bird flies, its territory is almost under its watch, while Molten Lava Python likes staying at volcano mouths and resting."
"According to my family, the area of Bi Fang Bird is a no-go."
Sikong Yu dipped her finger in water to draw a simple map on the table, and then directly crossed out two routes.
After listening to Sikong Yu, Li Feng looked towards the southeast corner, between the boundaries of Molten Lava Python and Fire Ant Queen.
"So, this is the optimal route?"
Li Feng pointed.
Sikong Yu nodded: "Yes, as long as you don’t disturb the resting Molten Lava Python, this area is relatively safe, but not without exception."
"The territory of Fire Ant Queen is almost barren, no life whatsoever. To hunt, the Fire Ant Queen’s ants often traverse this side, so even if you take this route, it may not be peaceful. If spotted by the ants, it could be disastrous." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Especially since you and I have Vermilion Bird Bloodlines, which are a delicacy to the ants, possibly attracting a swarm attack."
"Can Fire Ants smell our Bloodline Power?"
"Yes, that is one of their abilities. Ironically, those who are weaker or haven’t awakened bloodlines face less danger entering."
