Qin Cheng was stunned. Zhu Yao smiled and pointed at the vitality flowing outside the flame rat. Qin Cheng suddenly burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, it was this vitality that revealed his identity.

"Do you also need this fire gourd? Here it is."

Without any hesitation, Qin Cheng took out several fire gourds and handed them to Zhu Yao.

Ye Zun once said that in this trial area, Zhu Yao, Gu Mingyao and others also teamed up to search for him. However, after Qin Cheng was safe, they sent a message to Ye Zun and they stopped searching.

As a result, several people missed the first few days of the trial, and Qin Cheng felt quite indebted to them.

But facing the fire gourds sent by Qin Cheng, Zhu Yao smiled and shook her head. Only one of them was left.

"I'm not good at fire-based methods. I'll just keep one of these gourds. I'm here mainly for the vines." As he spoke, Zhu Yao slashed his long sword across and cut off a few sections of the gourd vines and put them away.

Everyone has their own secret, Qin Cheng did not ask about it and had no choice but to accept the remaining gourds.

"What should I do with this flame rat?" After Zhu Yao was done, she pointed at the imprisoned rat demon next to Qin Cheng and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, this little guy is quite cute."

This little thing found that he couldn't get out, so he gradually became more honest and revealed his true appearance.

He is covered in fiery red fur, his big eyes are wandering around, and his little tail is twisting and curling up due to nervousness, which makes him look quite pitiful.

"Still cute? You didn't see it, this thing almost bit me to death." Qin Cheng said with a speechless smile.

"I'm afraid I've been guarding this fire gourd for many years. Now that you take it away, it won't bite you." Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at Qin Cheng and said.

Qin Cheng thought this way, and it did make sense. Although the treasure was said to have no owner, if someone robbed him, he would probably attack with all his strength.

With a sweep of his consciousness, Qin Cheng suddenly looked towards the cracks in the ground. When Qin Cheng looked at several pairs of dark eyes, these little flame rats were so frightened that they hurried back.

"Are these your children?" Qin Cheng looked at the flame rat thoughtfully.

"This fire gourd is useful to me, so naturally I can't give it back to you, but I think you also want to use it for your child's growth."

The big flame rat barked a few times, as if admitting, and begged again, as if he was worried that Qin Cheng would hurt his child.

Qin Cheng suddenly felt a little emotional, pitying the hearts of parents in the world. Even monsters have emotions similar to those of humans.

For some reason, Qin Cheng was moved. With a wave of his hand, the energy around him was immediately removed, and the flame rat regained its freedom and fell to the ground.

"I won't take away this fire gourd. Later, warriors will come in and take it away. You won't survive then, but I can give you some elixirs as compensation."

Qin Cheng thought for a while, then took out a few spiritual herbs with good flame effects and threw them to the Flame Rat.

"Consider it a little compensation from me."

The flame rat was stunned for a while, as if it didn't expect that Qin Cheng would give it the spiritual grass. It hesitated for a few times, and then opened its mouth to grab the spiritual grass. It ran to the crack, looked back at Qin Cheng and Zhu Yao, and got in.

into the cracks.

"I'm a little surprised. You didn't seem to have such a personality before." Zhu Yao smiled.

"I suddenly felt that it's good to be spontaneous, especially in this place." Qin Cheng said.

"Since you are so helpful, I just have something I need your help with." Zhu Yao blinked and said.

Qin Cheng smiled when he heard this and said, "I owe you a lot of favors. If you don't need my help anymore, I will almost forget about it. Tell me about it."

"It will be kept secret for the time being. But you have already agreed, and you are not allowed to go back on it." Zhu Yao said with a sly smile.

Qin Cheng was stunned and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Why did he feel that what Zhu Yao wanted to do was not a good thing?

The two walked together, Zhu Yao leading the way, and soon they came to an empty palace.

"roar!"

When the two fire wolf monsters saw them, they immediately turned their heads, bared their teeth, and roared.

Red blood was flowing from their mouths, and there was a bloody corpse underneath them. It was unknown which unlucky warrior died here.

Qin Cheng shook his head. Unlike the cowardly creatures like the Flame Rats, who would only attack when they were in a hurry, he had no mercy at all for these Fire Wolves who often attacked humans.

Drawing out its long sword, the fire wolf monster saw that the two people would not leave, so it also rushed towards them.

Qin Cheng's bronze sword flashed and immediately cut a large gash in the skin of a fire wolf. The fire wolf screamed and fell back.

And Zhu Yao was about to take action.

A tall figure suddenly rushed out from the other side of the hall, and a huge ax flew out. With a pop, it split the other fire wolf into two pieces.

Then the big man stretched out his hand and made a move, the ax flew back into his palm, and he swung the full moon again, decapitating the injured fire wolf.

"Hmph, your hands and feet are too slow. How can you kill several fire wolves and still not be able to win with one move?"

The big man glanced sideways at Qin Cheng. Then he looked at Zhu Yao and grinned: "Zhu Yao, I'm a little late. You won't mind, right?"

"Of course not, we just arrived." Zhu Yao also smiled lightly.

Qin Cheng watched the big man from the side. He knew this man himself, and it was Yan Tuo, the fourth holy son of the Taoist Sect.

Qin Cheng was a little curious. Is Zhu Yao's request related to Yan Tuo?

"Who is this?" Yan Tuo frowned slightly when he saw Qin Cheng.

"Yan Tuo, this is my good friend Qin Cheng. We made an agreement before, so I have to explore this place with him."

Qin Cheng was stunned for a while after hearing this.

When did the two of them agree to explore this place? Apparently Zhu Yao was lying to Yan Tuo.

"What's going on?" Qin Cheng said with a frown.

"This is what you have to do for me." Zhu Yao smiled and explained her trouble.

Qin Cheng was stunned after hearing this.

"Yan Tuo has been harassing you before, so you want me to be a light bulb?"

"There is no way. The Yan family and I, the Zhu family, are good. We have worked together on a treasure trove here before. This time he knew I was coming and specifically wanted to repay my previous help. I couldn't refute him.

face."

Zhu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "If we were alone along the way, I would definitely be annoyed by this guy. Anyway, you promised before, so you can't go back on it."

"Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship?" Qin Cheng said helplessly.

"You are the one in Qincheng who killed Zhao Youtian and was ordered to kill him by Zhao Ding. You are still alive and you dare to come here."

Yan Tuo looked Qin Cheng up and down, and said with some surprise: "You are brave enough, but your sword skills are not good."

Obviously he was quite dissatisfied with Qin Cheng's sword.

"My strength is indeed average, so if you are Zhao Ding's friend, or are afraid of Zhao Ding, we can go separately."

Qin Cheng shook his head indifferently and said that he did not want to get involved with this person. If Yan Tuo asked to leave, it would be best for him to leave with Zhu Yao.

"Am I afraid of Zhao Ding? Are you kidding me?"
