Hiram's first words were no: "Report on the mission."
Wu Qi focused on everything that happened outside the Zhonghan Canyon and reported the truth of the investigation mission, including the way to enter the Zhonghan Canyon, how he killed the clone of the Ice Curse Envoy, and obtained the information that the Ice Curse Envoy was not in the territory.
"I haven't found a single clue about the true identity and location of the Ice Curse Envoy?" Hiram asked.
"No." Wu Qi did not argue.
Hiram said calmly: "If I were not in a hurry to escape from the land of ice curse, I should be able to do a better job in the investigation."
Wu Qi remained unchanged and did not reply. Immediately, Hiram turned sideways and said in a normal way: "This is my first time sneaking into the envoy's territory to investigate. It's probably good to kill the enemy and come back alive. Let's just accumulate experience."
"Thank you for your tolerance, sir."
Wu Qizui was speaking beautifully. As long as there is no punishment, he doesn't care about evaluation.
"Close your eyes and follow him."
Hiram Dong ordered. Wu Qi closed his eyes after hearing the order. He secretly mobilized his spirit to float to the surface of his body, and then the outside world that his spirit had been sensing was suddenly swallowed up by black energy at a certain moment, as if he had fallen into a dark abyss, with nothing around him.
When Hiram told him to close his eyes, Wu Qi guessed whether Hiram wanted to use black energy to move him quickly. He thought that by being prepared that time, he might be able to get a glimpse of the true face of black energy. But that time it was a miscalculation.
Wu Qi had to wait obediently for the black energy that swallowed him to leave. Finally, his spirit became able to perceive the world around him. Wu Qi opened his eyes just in time to see a circle of rich black energy surrounding his body and returning to the outside of Hiram's envoy uniform.
Wu Qi was more concerned about where he was taken than the same scene. The moment the black air left, Wu Qi felt the heat wave coming from the air.
The light reflected back to the world in the eyes was a hot fiery red, and even the dark sky was dyed a hazy light red by the firelight from the east. This made Wu Qi, who had once adapted to the environmental tones of the Land of Ice Curse, suddenly feel a strong contrast.
There is a world dominated by fire and heat!
Wu Qi looked eastward in the direction of the fiery red light. He and Hiram were on a cliff. Beyond the edge of the cliff is a vast land of crimson lava. The lava earth was covered with burning cracks, and the cracks intertwined and penetrated the land as far as Wu Qi could see, and flames as bright as the red day were burning everywhere.
Extremely high-temperature hot gas rises from the cracks and flames in the lava earth, and the hot gas slowly rises as it surges. Wu Qi stood on a towering cliff far away from the lava land, feeling that the heat was so hot that ordinary people couldn't breathe. Because his body and external organs have strong heat resistance, he can breathe the air above the lava earth without being injured.
Wu Qi could imagine what kind of terrifying heat he would endure every moment if he stepped on the lava earth that seemed to be burning forever. In particular, the flames spurting out from the countless blazing red cracks in the ground also contain the same and opposite high heat and intensity as the land of ice curse.
"Lord Hiram, is it there?"
"The official name is 'The Land of Fire'. This place is just the opposite of the soil of the Ice Curse. It is a place where heat-related viruses are active and the most vicious habitat for fire-based life." Hiram explained. .
"Is this the territory of the Bailing Fire Clan?" Wu Qi added.
"That's right, the Fire Le Clan is the fifth of the Bai Lings. By the way, the Ice Curse Clan is the sixth of the Bai Lings."
Wu Qi turned around and looked down at the Land of Fire Joy again. That time, his eyes changed slightly when he looked at the burning lava land.
Wu Qi had a premonition before that "the Ice Curse Tribe will not be low among the Bailings", and after learning that the owner of the Ice Curse Land was an Ice Curse Envoy, he was sure that the Ice Curse Tribe was one of the top ten powerful clans among the Bailings. But that time he really knew the rankings of the Ice Curse Tribe and the newly entered Fire Le Tribe, which were as high as "Five" and "Six".
There is a subtle difference between determining and guessing. Moreover, the Fire Le Clan is ranked one higher than the Ice Curse Clan, which shows that the Fire Le Land lord, the Fire Le Envoy, is most likely to be as powerful as the Ice Curse Envoy.
"Lord Hiram, would you please ask him to investigate the Land of Fire and Music to find out information about the 'Huo Music Envoy'?" Wu Qi asked.
Hiram said briskly: "No, that's the area he investigated when I investigated the Land of Ice Curse."
Wu Qi's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise when he heard Hiram say: "The red cracks all over the lava land will erupt together in three hours, similar to a volcanic eruption of magma, and this will last three hours." Quarter of an hour. That geological phenomenon is called the "Vulcan Joy" by the natives of the Land of Fire. Each quarter of an hour of the Fire God's Joy belongs to a stage. In the first quarter of an hour, almost 90% of the Fire Tribe will come. Go to the place where the 'Vulcan Joy' takes place, bathe in the high heat and high concentration erupted from the ground, and enjoy the evolutionary gift of the Vulcan descending to the east in the magma."
"If the magma is orange-red in the first quarter of an hour, it will turn into pure red in the second quarter of an hour. At that time, more than 60% of the Huole tribe will leave because their bodies cannot withstand the higher intensity of the torrent. The most critical thing is the third quarter of an hour. The magma will turn into pitch black color, and the measurable turbulence radiated into the air will be even more violent than the center of the magma in the first quarter of an hour; the black magma in the center is no less than the peak of the third level. There is a life in the Fire Land that can withstand a massive fire attack and use it to strengthen itself!"
Fire envoy!
"Sir, do you mean that they can see the true face of the Fire Music Envoy after waiting there for three and a half hours? But the possibility of it not coming..."
"The Fire Music Envoy has never been absent from the beginning of the 'Vulcan Joy' ceremony, because one of his responsibilities is to control the dark magma, prevent the black magma from escaping unexpectedly during the eruption, and fill it with measurable energy afterwards. The black magma re-injects into the cracks in the lava earth, shortening the interval between the arrival of Toji's 'Vulcan Joy'."
Wu Qi absorbed a large amount of information in a short period of time, and his impression of Hiram immediately changed significantly. To be more precise, it adds more meaningful impressions to the void.
The few days he spent investigating the Land of Ice were not the same amount of time Hiram spent investigating the Land of Fire. The time is almost the same, but the detail of the information Hiram received and the extended meaning behind it far surpassed his.
The ritual of "The Joy of the Fire God" is of great significance to the people of the Huole Tribe, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is engraved in the bone marrow. However, based on the bias in cognitive stance, it is very difficult for an intruder who invades the homeland of another tribe to learn about such a sacred ritual for the indigenous people. It is also possible that he has never even thought of the existence of such a ritual. But Hiram could do it, it was as if someone from the Huole clan had taken refuge in him and told him the ritual of repeated requests as information.
Hiram's outrageous investigative abilities cast a veil of mystery on his impression in Wu Qi's heart, and also shook what Wu Qi considered to be "established facts."
Perhaps for Hiram, it really doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead, but at least his role is more to avoid danger than to advance the investigation together. After all, Hiram himself is Kazan's right-hand man and is doing his job conscientiously.
After finishing a series of thoughts, Wu Qi followed Hiram to stay on the top of the cliff in the Land of Fire and Joy, waiting quietly for the arrival of the true form of the Fire Joy Seat envoy in three hours.
Three hours later. A large number of abyssal creatures of different species gathered in the endless lava land. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. The Huole tribe members present cheered in unison. The sharp and deep screams of the creatures were mixed together, and there was an invisible tower. The mountains rise from the ground to the dome!
As Hiram said, large streams of orange-red magma were ejected from the endless cracks in the lava land. This phenomenon, which is not a disaster for ordinary life, is the most brutal bathing ceremony for the Huole tribe. Waves of Huole tribe members poured into the center of the magma fountain. Wu Qi couldn't help but feel that when he saw it for the first time. The scene was spectacular.
In the first stage of the Vulcan Joy, the lava land was in a happy atmosphere where all the people were cheering, and as Wu Qimo counted to the 900th second, the magma ejected from the cracks in the earth transitioned from orange-red to blazing red in an instant!
There was a loud bang in the east sky, and the entire lava land was lit up as if a million flash bombs exploded at the same time. The dazzling bright light shined directly into Wu Qi's eyes, followed closely by Very eye-burning heat.
Wu Qi stepped back a meter to avoid the heat that filled the air.
The blazing red light was the strongest when it first appeared, and slowly returned to normal brightness after a few seconds. The hot gas ejected from the red magma hundreds of meters to the east has a temperature of hundreds of degrees. Wu Qi does not doubt whether the temperature of the red magma itself is two to three thousand degrees.
Hiram still stood where he was, and the thick black air of the hooded man seemed not to be affected by the heat at all.
The same abilities that Hiram showed have already convinced Wu Qi that he is a "monster", so Wu Qi will not be surprised if Hiram shows more powerful things.
Wu Qi used the principle of bubble shield to control Keliang to make a pair of goggles to protect his eyes from heat damage, and continued to observe the eastern scene. He saw that the Huole tribe in the lava land was less than half, and the land densely covered with beast shadows had vacated a large area.
The weaker Huole tribe retreated a quarter of an hour earlier than he calculated. At first, they stayed in the erupting red magma, and a considerable part of the Huole tribe left in the middle. Going east like that, Wu Qi expected that the entire lava land would be empty in nearly 30 minutes.
At that time, the envoy of the Fire Music Seat in the East of the Tenth Throne will be exposed in front of their noses!
