The three of them stood on the edge of the crater, looking at the churning magma below. Hot air waves hit their faces, making even their breaths feel burning.
Lei Lie swallowed, a rare trace of hesitation on his rough face.
"Do you really want to go down?"
Xiao Han looked coldly, glanced across the surface of the magma, and said calmly.
"Now that I'm here, I have to make sure it's clear."
Liu Qingsi Poison mist lingered on his fingertips, his red lips were slightly raised, and his tone was filled with a hint of playfulness.
"If Junior Brother dares to play tricks on us, I will pick off his ears later."
The three of them looked at each other, no longer hesitating, Dou Qi surged around their bodies, forming a protective barrier, and then jumped into the magma!
"Gululu..."
Inside the magma, the temperature is even more terrifying than outside. Even Dou Ling strong people feel burning pain on their skin, and Dou Qi consumption intensifies.
Lei Lie was holding a long stick, stirring and rummaging through the magma, and couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it, if you stay in this damn place for too long, I'm afraid it'll get roasted!"
With sharp eyes, Xiao Han searched inch by inch along the rock wall, focusing on Dou Qi on his fingertips, trying to sense whether there were any hidden Spirit Material fluctuations.
However, nothing was found except for boiling lava and broken monster carapace.
Liu Qingsi controlled the poisonous mist to spread and probe in the magma, but soon, she frowned slightly, retracted the poisonous mist, and sighed softly.
"It seems there is really nothing left."
The three of them continued searching for another ten minutes, but still found nothing.
Lei Lie finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed.
"Let's go! Go up and settle the score with that boy!"
"Wow!"
The three of them jumped out of the lava and landed on the edge of the crater. There was still a trace of steam coming from their bodies, and their faces were not pretty.
Lei Lie shook his arm that was reddened by the magma and grinned, but there was a dangerous light in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Jiang, it seems your guess is not accurate?"
Xiao Han crossed his arms and glanced at Jiang Donghua with a cold gaze. Although he did not speak, he felt a sense of oppression.
Liu Qingsi walked forward with a smile, his fingertips filled with poisonous mist, and his tone was gentle but with hidden murderous intent.
"Junior brother, should you explain?"
Jiang Donghua saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he laughed twice.
"Three senior brothers and sisters, don't worry, maybe we missed something!"
Lei Lie laughed loudly and grabbed his shoulders with such force that he almost staggered.
"Omission? Are you kidding us on purpose?"
Liu Qingsi sighed softly and shook his head pretending to be disappointed.
"Oh, I originally thought that if I really found something good, I would share it with you."
Jiang Donghua sweated on his forehead and waved his hands quickly.
"Wait! I have another guess!"
The three of them paused and stared at him.
Seeing their looks, he coughed twice and spoke again.
"Then have you found any stones of different colors or strange-shaped things in the magma?"
"Sometimes some medicinal herbs don't necessarily look like the herbs in the forest."
The three of them thought for a while and then Xiao Han spoke with some uncertainty.
"It seems that during the search just now, there was a strange white jade stone, but it may also be that the magma has heated it to give it a different color."
Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"White jade? Where is it specifically?"
Xiao Han recalled briefly and pointed to a rock wall deep in the magma.
"Close to the bottom, embedded in stone crevices, the surface is smooth, but it has been washed away by magma for too long, and the original texture cannot be seen."
Lei Lie scratched his head and said roughly.
"I thought it was just a broken bone, so I almost broke it with a stick!"
Liu Qingsi gently chins with his fingertips, thoughtfully.
"The temperature of magma is extremely high. Ordinary jade should have melted long ago. If it can remain intact, it is probably not a mortal thing."
Dong Hua's breathing was slightly rapid, but his voice was trying to remain steady.
"Three senior brothers and sisters, can you go down again? That piece of jade is probably what we are looking for!"
Lei Lie stared.
"Still going on? Are you kid trying to trick us again?"
Xiao Han stared at Dong Hua with sharp eyes.
"Reason."
Dong Hua took a deep breath and explained.
"According to ancient books, some worlds Spirit Material will form a 'jade' shell under extreme environments, containing the essence. The white jade in the magma is most likely a 'Earth Core Fire Jade Marrow' treasure that can greatly enhance the strength of Dou Qi!"
Liu Qingsi's red lips were slightly hooked, and a trace of interest flashed in her eyes.
"Oh? If that's the case, it's worth another trip."
Lei Lie grinned and clenched his fists.
"Okay! But if you fail again, I don't care whether you are a junior or not, I will give you a good beating first!"
The three of them looked at each other, and Dou Qi surged around them again, and they jumped into the magma!
This time, their target was extremely clear, that piece of neglected white jade.
Dou Qi surged around the three of them, like three meteorites smashing into the magma again.
This time, they went straight to the crack in the rock wall that Xiao Han mentioned. The strange white jade stone was embedded in the red magma, with a pearl-like matte surface flowing on it.
"Do it!"
Lei Lie shouted loudly, his fingers clasped the edge of the jade like hooks, the muscles of his arms were knotted, and the veins popped out.
Dou Qi exploded along the fingertips, causing the surrounding magma to boil and roll.
Not moving at all.
Xiao Han's eyes condensed, and he pointed into a sword. The ice blue Dou Qi condensed into a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, and cut accurately along the seam between the jade and the rock wall.
Sparks were flying, and deep marks were cut into the rock wall, but the jade remained as solid as ever.
"What the hell?"
Lei Lie stared.
"I can tear apart Tier 4 Demonic Beast's scales with my bare hands, but I can't tear apart a stone?!"
Liu Qingsi squinted her eyes, and the poisonous mist seeped out of her sleeves, turning into countless tentacles as thin as hair and drilling into the gaps at the bottom of the jade.
But the next second, the poisonous mist bounced back, and an imperceptible golden pattern flashed across the surface of the jade.
The three of them looked at each other and showed cruel expressions in unison.
Lei Lie slapped his palms together, and the long stick exploded three times in size. The stick was wrapped in red Dou Qi, then it was rounded and hit the jade.
"Here, I open it!"
Boom!
The magma was split by the air waves, the rock walls collapsed, and the entire volcano was trembling.
Xiao Han took the opportunity to press his palms on the ground, and Ice Dou Qi spread along the cracks, freezing the rocks around the jade as brittle as pancakes.
Liu Qingsi jumped up in the air, and the poisonous mist condensed into a heavy hammer, aiming at the top of the jade stone and smashing it down!
Click--!
A crack finally appeared on the surface of the jade, and then spiderweb-like lines spread crazily.
The three of them Dou Qi opened up and pried the stubborn jade out of the rock wall!
The three people rushed out of the magma with the piece of white jade, and the Dou Qi barrier around them trembled slightly. It was obvious that the violent excavation just now consumed a lot of money.
Lei Lie put the jade on the ground, making a dull "thunk" sound, and the magma slid down the surface, but it did not erode it at all.
He grinned and patted the jade stone.
"Good guy, I can't break it even with 100% of my strength. This thing is so hard!"
Xiao Han condensed Dou Qi on his fingertips, gently scratched the surface of the jade, and frowned slightly.
"It's really not easy to survive the magma erosion for thousands of years and not be damaged at all by external forces."
Liu Qingsi circled around the jade stone, and the poisonous mist tentatively wrapped around it, but was instantly bounced away. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his smile deepened.
"Junior brother, it seems you didn't lie to us this time."
