At first, Ye Li didn't notice that Lei Shan was going in circles. Later, he suddenly discovered that Lei Shan's route was a series of arcs. After walking for a long time, they returned to the vicinity of the camp.
Only then did Ye Li notice that Lei Shan did not seem to be running in the direction of Duan Qianye, but was making a big circle in the jungle.
While he was wondering, Lei Shan suddenly changed direction and ran in the completely opposite direction when he had just left the camp.
He moved quickly, changing direction several times in the woods, as if trying to shake off Ye Li who was following him.
Seeing this, Ye Li's heart tightened, thinking that the other party had discovered him.
However, after observing for a moment, Ye Li denied this, because he found that Lei Shan's eyes were not looking at him, but were looking in all directions behind him.
Ye Li immediately understood that the other party was just worried that someone would follow him, so he was going around in circles to avoid possible enemies.
In fact, the other party did not actually discover him, or the other party did not find any specific target to hide from, he was just taking precautions.
The other party gave up flying and chose to run on the ground. This was definitely good news for Ye Li, because there were probably not many people in the world who could surpass Ye Li in speed when running on the ground.
Even without using his spiritual energy, Ye Li could still easily follow behind Lei Shan without being left behind.
Following Lei Shan all the way and running around in circles several times, Ye Li suddenly felt that the power of fire on the ground around him began to become stronger.
The originally dense bushes underground began to gradually become sparse, and the trees and grass that Ye Li could use to hide himself also began to decrease.
At this moment, he could only choose to follow the other person as far as possible to avoid being noticed by the other party.
After walking a distance forward, the fire power underground became more abundant. Except for some trees that loved heat extremely, there were no other plants around.
Ye Li had no choice but to quickly move and climb up the big tree next to him, looking at Leishan Mountain which was gradually moving away.
"This is not good. There seems to be a place where underground fire gathers around here, causing the fire on the ground to continue to rise. The trees are getting fewer and fewer, and I can't continue to follow!!!"
Ye Li said.
Tunri looked into the distance and said, "What should we do now? If he continues to go deeper, you will probably lose him at such a long distance."
Just as Ye and Tunri were worried, Leishan's running figure suddenly slowed down and gradually stopped in front of a cave on the hillside.
Ye Li was slightly stunned, then he was delighted and said, "I understand. To cast the statue of Dahuntian, they need to borrow the rich earth fire, so they set up the casting site underground in this area.
That cave is probably the entrance. After that guy goes in, we will sneak over. If we are careful, we should not be discovered!"
Tunri looked into the distance and nodded.
Lei Shan looked around and after making sure that no one was following him, he quickly slipped into the cave.
Seeing this, Ye Li immediately flipped over and jumped down from the tree, then burst out at an astonishing speed and ran towards the cave.
Soon, Ye Li arrived at the cave where Lei Shan entered. Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ye Li listened carefully towards the cave, but found that there was no sound coming from the cave. It was obvious that Lei Shan seemed to have gone far away.
With the cover of a rock at the entrance of the cave, Ye Li stuck his head out and looked into the cave. He found that there was no one guarding the cave, and Lei Shan's figure also disappeared in the cave. He then walked into the cave with confidence.
The cave seemed to be very deep, winding its way deeper into the earth.
Not daring to delay, fearing that there were too many forks in the road and he would lose track of his target, Ye Li went straight deeper into the cave without a second thought.
Ye Li was not too worried about the danger in the cave. After all, the eight Talisman God elders were all staying in the camp. Even if there were Talisman Gods here, there couldn't be five or six of them. At most, there could be one or two.
It is almost impossible for one or two Talisman Gods to stop Ye Li. Even three Talisman Gods may not be able to catch up with Ye Li in such a cave. As long as Ye Li realizes something is wrong, he will fly back out of the cave. It is extremely difficult for the enemy to catch him.
After thinking about it, Ye Li quickened his pace and went deeper into the cave. He was no longer afraid that Lei Shan would discover him because he had already found the place where Duan Qianye cast the Great Soul Heaven statue. Even if he was discovered, he could still go deeper into the cave to find Duan Qianye.
Going down along the cave, Ye Li soon arrived at the magma and fire area deep underground.
The surrounding underground fire began to become more and more intense, the scorching heat continued to rise, and the fire energy was extremely strong.
Soon, Ye Li felt that the underground fire in front seemed to be gathering in one direction, and at the end of this direction there was another cave.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Li focused his attention on the cave over there. He thought that this cave should be the place where Duan Qianye cast the statue.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one here, Ye Li quickly put his mind at ease and began to move towards the cave.
Just before reaching the cave, Ye Li discovered that this cave seemed to be just a passage connecting two areas of magma and fire.
At the other end of this passage is an even larger underground fire cave hall. At the far edge of this underground fire cave hall, there are many caves. There is a stone platform in one of the caves. Even from a long distance, Ye Li can see a statue of Dahuntian placed on the stone platform.
The stone platform was covered with rune engravings, and the statue of Dahuntian was completely red at this time. The surrounding underground fire was constantly gathering towards the stone platform, condensing into a ball of flame on the stone platform, burning the statue of Dahuntian.
Ye Li's attention at this moment was completely attracted by the Dahuntian statue. In his opinion, this statue should be the target he wanted to destroy.
He was somewhat curious as to why there was no one around and only this statue standing here. However, he did not think about it too much as his attention was completely focused on the statue.
Ye Li took big strides and walked quickly towards the statue. There was no sound around him, which made Ye Li feel very quiet.
Just as he had passed through the cave hall and was about to reach the cave where the statue was placed, something strange happened. On the ground around him, balls of red flames suddenly rose out of nowhere and gathered around Ye Li to form a huge net of fire, covering him.
