The next day, it was cloudy.

Since everyone had an uncomfortable night's sleep in the wild, they woke up early the next day and continued on their way.

Chen Baiqi looked at the sky. The sky today was still gray. Although it was not without the lingering rain, it was also hazy.

Fearing that the ashes would rekindle and cause a wildfire, Chen Baiqi took water to completely extinguish the fire, then filled another bag with clean stream water before setting out on the road.

Seeing her careful behavior, several others began to realize that they had been too careless, especially Nanyue and Chengyi, who were very upset because they were not well thought out and poorly prepared for this trip.

Mo Xia travels around the world all year round. Naturally, he is not like scholars like Mo Bian who only immerse themselves in learning and science. Generally, they are arranged and led by elders when they go out. They rarely go out alone. Once they go out alone, their shortcomings will be exposed.

Even if Mo Xia and the others know that the Tianfeng Mountain competition venue has arranged everything they need to prepare, they will still carry many key supplies with them, such as water, food and a Tianfeng Mountain boundary map given by their elders.

This boundary map was drawn by people who have been to Tianfengtian, and it can clearly guide the destination.

Since Chen Baiqi had shown kindness to Mo Xia and others many times, they were not stingy and asked Mo Bian and others to follow him.

Ji Yun also showed the territory map to Chen Baiqi. Chen Baiqi did not refuse, but took it and looked at it carefully.

On a piece of ground animal skin, a charcoal-like black paint was used to draw a mountain with a forest and a winding route behind the forest.

Chen Baiqi secretly thought that their final destination was the Purgatory Valley, and this valley was between Tianfeng Mountain and another black mountain. According to the map of Tianfeng Mountain, they had to pass through a forest first, and this forest was

Chen Bai picked up the area where they camped last night, and then they had to continue climbing up a hillside for a while.

When you reach the top of Tianfeng Mountain, walk down another slope until you reach Purgatory Valley.

Originally, Mo Xia's journey was estimated to take more than an hour to reach Purgatory Valley. Unfortunately, they met Mo Bian, who had already exhausted all his strength from climbing the mountain yesterday. Even though the next journey was much easier than climbing the mountain with bare hands, this time

It is impossible to estimate the arrival time at the moment.

Miao Yue walked next to Yan Dan. She put down the brim of her cloak. Her facial features were soft. She raised her head and looked at the white snow on the top of Tianfeng Mountain that seemed to have not changed over time. She murmured: "It's so cold. It turns out that Tianfeng Mountain

The snow on top has not yet melted."

"The Tianfeng Mountains are very dangerous. It's only early summer. I think it will take some time for the snow on the peak to melt away." Yan Dan replied casually.

The three Mo Xia people walked in front in a triangle, while the four Mo Bian people walked in twos and twos behind.

The further one goes up the mountain, the colder he feels, especially the naughty mountain wind that swirls and makes one's teeth tremble.

Wearing two layers of thin summer clothes and a pair of straw sandals, Nanyue crossed her arms, looked up at the top of Tianfeng Mountain and gritted her teeth.

"This Mo Xia guy is so cruel."

He chose a place like this that would kill people without paying for it. God knew it was already summer, but he felt like he was still experiencing winter.

Cheng Yi's lips turned purple from the cold. He took a breath of mist and glanced ahead: "Keep your voice down. Haven't I been mentally prepared for this? Commander Mo Xia has great power over Ju Ziling."

We must win. Even if we face great difficulties, we cannot give up easily... Besides, compared to the horror of climbing the mountain before, I think this coldness can be tolerated."

Nan Yue sniffed, remembering the previous scene of a person hanging on a cliff like a piece of paper in the wind, letting the wind blow and ravage her. She also said firmly: "Of course. By the way, I don't know if Brother Yaoma and Uncle Chang have arrived yet."

."

"It will be faster if they are escorted up the mountain by people from Mo Xia. I am afraid they have already arrived at Purgatory Valley. The elders and commanders of the Mo family are probably here too. By the way, I overheard Uncle Chang talking to the ancestor.

There is also a mysterious adult coming this time."

At the end of the story, Chengyi's voice became much softer, as if he was conveying a secret privately.

Nanyue has no feelings about this kind of thing. He has loved reading since he was a child, and he is willing to dabble in any miscellaneous academic field. In addition, he treats many things in a general way.

Suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach, and then a "Gulu~" sounded. He raised his face and said with a look of despair: "I haven't eaten anything seriously since yesterday, and I'm almost starving to death."

Chengyi also heard it. In fact, he was also hungry, but no matter how hungry he was, he only had water to drink. He sighed: "Just be patient, I'll probably have something to eat when we get to Purgatory Valley soon."

Chen Baiqi walked a little ahead of the two of them, and naturally heard the conversation between Chengyi and Nanyue behind them. No matter which sentence he said, a strange feeling passed through her heart.

"Nanyue, Yixiong Cheng, have you ever heard of a man in the Mo family called Yi Shi Mo Cheng?" Chen Bai stopped for two steps and waited for the two of them.

Chengyi and Nanyue were startled, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable with the person Chen Baiqi suddenly mentioned.

"Well, of course we know that Master Mo is Juzi's direct disciple." Chengyi said.

Chen Baiqi asked again: "I wonder which faction he belongs to?"

Nan Yue blinked her eyes. Although she didn't know what "Chen Huanxian" meant when she asked, she honestly said: "Mo Xia."

Chen Baiqi pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I heard that disciples who want to obtain the Juzi Order must pass three levels, and these three levels have questions from three parties. To show fairness, one question comes from Mo Xia, and one question comes from

Mo Bian, the last question is decided by Ju Zi, right?"

Chengyi and Nanyue nodded together: "Yes."

Chen Baiqi looked at the increasingly gloomy clouds in Tianfeng Mountain, his expression seemed to be infected by it, and he was a little unpredictable: "Then what if something happens to the last question... and Juzi's disciples are asked to answer it instead?

"

"This, this is impossible!" Chengyi and Nanyue subconsciously retorted.

"Oh, it's really impossible?"

Chengyi and Nanyue looked into Chen Baiqi's eyes and were stunned.

Is it really...impossible?

Chen Baiqi smiled and looked away from them.

Hope so.

She always felt that it was rare for him to appear in the Juziling Arena for no reason and it was not because of Mo Xia.

If it were really a two-to-one match, the difficulty would have been raised abruptly.

——

To say that the weather on the way up the mountain was from cold spring to winter at the beginning, but as they turned sharply downhill and entered a canyon of cold hard gray rock, the climate changed again. The closer they got to Purgatory Valley, they felt the temperature change.

"Why does it feel like it's getting hotter and hotter?" Nan Yue touched the sweat on her forehead and asked in surprise.

When a stream of hot air with the smell of sulfur blew from the front, Chen Baiqi suddenly noticed something. She said to the system: Extract the regional map of Purgatory Valley.

System: Purgatory Valley is loading...

After a few seconds, the system: The Purgatory Valley area map is loaded and can be viewed.

Chen Baiqi immediately opened the regional map of Purgatory Valley, and the regional panel of the Qin State map also lit up accordingly.

At present, all the maps of the areas she has visited are lit up one by one, while the areas she has not set foot on are all dim.

When Chen Baiqi opened the map and took a look, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It turns out that the Purgatory Valley is actually a canyon valley connected to a volcano, and it is an active volcano. No wonder the canyon mountain is bare and barren of grass.

As they approached Purgatory Valley, they discovered that the sky in front of them was reflected in a large red tom, and the eaves of a stone-wood bird building could be vaguely seen behind the towering and sharp black limestone.

"The location is in front?" Nanyue asked.

"Yes." Miao Yue turned her head and said, "The seniors and adults on both sides are there. We need to meet them first."

Nanyue nodded thoughtfully.

When they got closer, they discovered that there was a large and spacious land in front of them, which was paved with black stone slabs and winding upwards. Around it stood black stone forests of different sizes to form a semi-circular terrain.

Behind it is a two-step high stone staircase. There are about a hundred stone steps going up. At the end of the staircase, there are two stone scorpions several meters high lying down and looking down. After that, there is a black tower that is reddened by the firelight.

The two-story stone building is built in a stone forest barrier.

"We're here." Ji Yun said lightly with a light look in her eyes.

"Huh? Why...Why aren't Mr. Liang and Uncle Puppet Ji here?"

Miao Yue looked around and found that there was no one there.

"I guess they have already gone in and are waiting for us inside." Yan Dan said hesitantly, frowning slightly.

Logically speaking, there should be no movement at all.

"Why is there a stone building here?" Nan Yue looked up and looked up in surprise.

Chengyi was also surprised. Would anyone choose to live in such a hot and stuffy place?

System: Side mission (1) Mo Xia sets a question - open the door. Without the knowledge of either Mo Bian or Mo Xia's disciples, which disciple will be the first to understand the meaning of the question and gain the opportunity to open the door.

The first point of the three levels can be won. The character has the obligation to lead the Mo Bian team to win the first victory. Accept/reject?

Note: Be careful of traps and pay close attention to your steps.

Mission reward: 400,000 experience points, mysterious A-level prescription*1.

Seeing Ji Yun and everyone preparing to move forward, Chen Baiqi immediately stopped him when he heard the system mission was announced: "Be careful, there is a mechanism ahead!"

"What?" Miao Yue turned around and asked in surprise.

Ji Yun was walking in front. When he felt that the side of his feet suddenly sank, his expression tightened and he immediately jumped back.

There was a "click", but they saw that the black stone floor he had just stepped on fell downwards as if it was detached. The complete floor surface suddenly had a defect. Everyone subconsciously looked down, and the firelight shone into their eyes, making them

His eyeballs narrowed in excitement.

I saw the black stone slab quickly falling into a piece of dark red magma, and then being wrapped up. After a while, billowing black smoke spewed out with something strange.

"This, this is lava below!" Chengyi took a breath of air and stammered.
