Although the magma on the volcano wall has cooled, the temperature is still very hot.
The closer they got to the crater, the more fierce the rolling heat wave became, almost breaking their air wall, and the strong thermal pressure made them almost breathless.
But the crater was very close, and they didn't want to give up, so they could only grit their teeth and continue climbing.
"I saw it, there!" Xia Yuanqiu said excitedly, pointing to a trace of fiery red plants not far away.
Zhu Yan followed her finger and saw a clump of red grass.
"Is this the Red Flame Grass?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "That's it, it's exactly the same as the pattern I saw in the pharmacopoeia."
She quickly swooped over to the red flame grass. Looking at the red flame grass, Xia Yuanqiu was so happy that she reached out to pick it.
A vigorous shout sounded behind them: "Don't pick it!"
Xia Yuanqiu retracted his hand and turned around, and saw the old man in the stone house chasing after him. His eyes were anxious and he shouted: "Don't touch the red flame grass, you will die."
When Zhu Yan heard this, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Xia Yuanqiu away, preventing her from getting closer.
The old man caught up and stood beside the two of them, saying: "Red flame grass absorbs the heat of fire to feed itself. They are not ordinary medicinal herbs. If you touch it with your hands, it will spit out scorching fire. The flames will The fire is hot enough to burn you to ashes."
Xia Yuanqiu said anxiously: "Then how can I get the Red Flame Grass?"
The old man said: "The red flame grass lives by sucking the red flames of the flames. Within seven days after they have just sucked the red flames of the flames, they can emit flames that are enough to incinerate everything. But once these seven days have passed, their bodies will The flames will begin to drain away until there is not a trace left. At that time, you can pick whatever you want."
Zhu Yan hurriedly asked: "When was the last time a volcano erupted?"
The old man thought for a while: "I sprayed it once the day before I had leg pain, but I haven't sprayed it since. Let me calculate, it's been about six or seven days!"
Xia Yuanqiu said happily: "In other words, we can pick it tomorrow?"
The old man shrugged. If lava doesn't erupt tonight, you can pick it tomorrow. If lava does erupt tonight, it's hard to tell.
Xia Yuanqiu glanced at the huge crater of the volcano not far away. There were wisps of white smoke coming out of the huge crater. She said, "It looks quite peaceful. There shouldn't be any lava spewing today."
The old man shook his head: "That's impossible to say. Every time before the volcano erupts, it's as calm as it is now."
Zhu Yan said: "In that case, let's stay here tonight and see what happens."
The old man's legs hurt badly. He frowned and said, "Let's go, get out of here first, lest the volcano suddenly erupts and it will be too late for you to escape."
The old man turned around first and swept down the mountain. Zhu Yan quickly grabbed Xia Yuanqiu, who was reluctant to leave the red flame grass, and followed the old man's footsteps.
Returning to the stone house, the old man sat back on the stone bed. Although in Xia Yuanqiu's opinion, the stone bed was as hot as an overheated kang stove, the old man was already used to it.
"You two are so impulsive. If I hadn't arrived in time today, you would have died." He once saw a flame beast climb up the mountain with his own eyes. When he saw the brightly colored red flame grass, he couldn't help but want to eat it. But as soon as the mouth touched the red flame grass, a ball of flames shot out from the red flame grass. The entire flame beast was wrapped in flames, and the huge flame beast was instantly burned to ashes.
