Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Mo Juren finally understood why, when he sensed them earlier, there were other faint life signs besides the three confirmed 'Two-Headed Thunderfire Eagle' cubs.

It turned out to be unhatched animal eggs!

Although it has not yet hatched, its value is much higher than that of a cub.

The 'Two-Headed Thunderfire Eagle' is an excellent mount. The young beast already has self-awareness, so even if it can be tamed, it will not be perfect and must be restrained and guarded against.

But beast eggs are different. If a bloodline restriction is planted on them before they hatch, they will completely recognize their master, and there is almost no possibility of betrayal.

As for how to hatch the beast eggs, it's not a difficult thing. There are plenty of ways in the vast world of cultivation, so there's no need to worry.

More importantly, judging from the senses just now, there were quite a few of these beast eggs, more than a dozen.

For Mo Juren, this amount of stuff was nothing, but for the other members of the team, it would be a huge gain.

With this in mind, Mo Juren did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand to put the beast egg directly into his storage bracelet.

After doing all that, he still didn't leave, but continued to look around, but unfortunately there was nothing else of interest to be found.

He paid no attention to this and flew away from the nest at top speed...

In the following time, the two continued to search for other nests, and needless to say, they obtained three cubs and seventeen eggs, just as they had sensed before.

In addition, some nests also yielded many rare materials of decent quality, which was a pleasant surprise.

The only pity is that, due to the extremely thin spiritual energy in this place, there are no valuable rare flowers or herbs here.

Even so, the two were still very satisfied, especially Xue Rou, whose smile had never faded since they began exploring the first nest.

"Is the captain really planning to go down and investigate?" In mid-air, Xue Rou's bright eyes swept over the boiling lava lake below, her beautiful face full of worry.

“Of course I’ll go down there, but you don’t need to worry. I’m confident in my ability to do this, and I’ll return promptly if I encounter any danger.” Mo Juren nodded solemnly and continued,
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reply, he immediately flew downwards at high speed until he was close to the surface of the lava lake, where he stopped again.

He could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature had become increasingly intense, as if he were being constantly scorched by endless flames. Even with his physical strength, he still felt a slight discomfort.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he did not use any means of defense. In fact, since entering the valley, he has not released any protective divine light and has only relied on his physical body to resist.

For anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer, but for him, he was still far from reaching his limit.

However, he knew very well that doing this outside was fine, but the situation would be very different once he entered the depths of the lava lake.

He naturally wouldn't continue to take unnecessary risks, and immediately with a thought, his body was enveloped in a ball of crimson flames.

This is the Vermilion Bird Fire Spirit that was accidentally captured in the Endless Fire Hell of the Lower Realm. Later, it passed through the Soul-Severing Desert and absorbed a large amount of fire attribute energy, thus completely evolving into the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire.

Despite having evolved only a few years ago, its power is in no way inferior to the other Dry Blue Ice Flame. The only difference is that one is extremely hot and the other is extremely cold, with completely opposite attributes.

The senior in purple had specifically reminded me that these two flames should be cultivated separately, as they would be of great use in the future.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, naturally possessing a trace of intelligence, was suddenly summoned and instantly sensed the unique surrounding environment, immediately conveying a hint of joy. "You mean, there's something you like down there?" Sensing the other party's intent, Mo Juren couldn't help but be slightly surprised, wondering if the other party was referring to the target he had just sensed?

The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire cannot speak, but it can communicate with him through thought. Upon hearing his question, it immediately responded, indicating that there was indeed something it was interested in below.

Having figured this out, Mo Juren no longer hesitated. He immediately used both fire and earth techniques simultaneously, plunging headfirst into the boiling lava lake, his figure disappearing instantly.

Upon seeing this, Xue Rou, who was still observing from mid-air, immediately became worried again.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Mo Juren, although inside the lava lake, was not suffering at all; on the contrary, he was quite relaxed.

While magma is indeed terrifying, it cannot cause any harm whatsoever, especially with the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire protecting it, there is even less of a problem.

As he continued deeper into the area, he constantly sensed the target's location and approached it as quickly as possible...

“Huh…” Mo Juren suddenly paused, realizing that the target seemed to have moved and was moving away rapidly.

It can still run? Could it have sensed danger?
At this moment, he did not conceal his aura, including the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. If the target possessed intelligence, it would not be surprising if it sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

However, this matter greatly intrigued him, and he immediately pushed his escape technique to its limit, chasing after the other party at top speed...

To his surprise, the other party was incredibly fast, faster than he could keep up. The two chased each other, and before they knew it, they had ventured deep into the lava lake.

It was Mo Juren who was capable of this; any other cultivator at the same level would have had to give up long ago.

The surrounding environment was now extremely harsh, with terrifying flames and fire poison coexisting. If it weren't for the protection of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, even he would have some headaches.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire that these flames and fire poison not only have no effect, but instead become a great tonic, which is constantly absorbed and used by the Vermilion Bird.

As they pursued each other, the aura of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire visibly intensified.

Now there is only one problem: how to capture that unknown 'target'. The opponent has the advantage of terrain and is too fast. If we don't come up with other methods, we really can't catch up.

Suddenly, the thought of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire resurfaced in his mind, causing his expression to shift.

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Mo Juren asked hurriedly. The latter did not answer, but after a twisting and pulsating motion, it split into more than ten fireballs.

Immediately afterwards, the fireballs transformed into streaks of light, shooting off in different directions.

"I really underestimated you!" Upon seeing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire to have such a 'multiplicity' ability. Although the number of clones was not large, each clone was not an illusion, but a real entity.

Without delay, he continued the pursuit. At the same time, more than ten other Vermilion Bird Divine Flames flew to different locations and gradually formed an encirclement around him.

The mysterious target clearly possessed strong spiritual sense and quickly noticed the situation. However, by then, it was too late.

Seeing this, the other side suddenly became somewhat impatient and began to break through in different directions.

Unfortunately, despite countless attempts, success remained elusive.

About fifteen minutes later, Mo Juren finally caught up with his opponent, but upon seeing his true face, he was immediately surprised. (End of Chapter)
