During this trip to the Flame Mountain, if Yan Ruyu cannot get the flame runes, Yan Ruyu's status in the Yan family will really be nothing. At best, it will be just a beautiful vase. At that time, Yan Ruyu will have no choice but to seduce the town.

The mountain king saved his life.

Yan Ruyu didn't want her life to be ruined in Zhenshan Palace like this, so she had to go all out for this trip to the Flame Mountain.

"Xiaoyu, gather all our masters together. I must get the flame runestones during this trip to the Flame Mountain."

"But how should we deal with the third master's side?"

"Don't worry, these things are all internal battles within the family. Yan Sanqian doesn't dare to do anything to me blatantly. After all, I still have some reputation in Huangshan City. If Yan Sanqian dares to kill me blatantly, justice will be done.

The father will not let him go even if he wants to save face."

"Yes, miss, Xiaoyu will go get ready immediately."

Returning to the inn room, Dan Xin had been waiting in the room. When Muchen came back, she asked, "How is it? Have you decided to cooperate with that woman, or have you killed her."

Muchen chuckled and said, "That's right, I agreed and agreed to cooperate with her."

"Hmph, pervert, I knew you would agree. Sure enough, men are all the same." It seemed that Danxin was not surprised by Muchen's choice.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, I have no interest in her body..." Muchen told everything about tonight, and naturally told Danxin about Yan Ruyu's situation.

Danxin felt even more surprised and said: "She is almost in danger of losing her own health. You still want to cooperate with her, and you still say that you are not interested in her body? Who believes it?"

"For Yan Ruyu now, the flame runestones in the Flame Mountain are her last life-saving straw, and we are the only two who know the location of the flame runestones. Do you think she will let something happen to us? No matter what, in the

Before finding the flame runestones, Yan Ruyu will definitely try her best to protect our safety. If she can do this, she is qualified as a collaborator."

Danxin: "Listening to what you said, I feel like I didn't want to give the flame runestone to Yan Ruyu."

"It's hard to say. When the time comes, it will still depend on her own performance. If she performs well, it's not a bad idea to give her a fire runestone. But if she performs poorly, whether she can walk out of the Flame Mountain alive is also a question.

It’s an unknown number.”

Seeing the evil smile on Muchen's face, Danxin felt goosebumps and said: "Uh... I feel like you are so evil. You Qianlong Army are not all people like you, right? They are too deep-minded."

"Hey, I have told you everything about my plan. It is reasonable for others to say that I am deep-minded. If you say that I am deep-minded, that is going too far."

Danxin didn't argue with Muchen, he just rubbed oil on his soles and returned to his room. Anyway, Danxin had a trump card and wasn't afraid of anything. Let Muchen do whatever he wanted.

For the next day, Mu Chen and Huo Lian did not go out, and there was no big news in Huangshan City. There was only a small movement in Rukongai. In the early morning of this day, Rukongai suddenly closed without any reason.

The Rukong Auction House was closed to the public and did not open again until the afternoon. Other than that, the entire Huangshan City was very quiet.

It wasn't until the third day came when the fire sacrifice was held that Muchen and the others walked out of the room.

With Huo Lian leading the way, everyone slowly moved forward towards the Yellow River ferry.

Huo Lian had already told Muchen the rules of the flame sacrifice last night.

The place where the flame sacrifice is held is on an isolated island in the middle of the Tianci River. The island is quite large and has many tall trees and semi-aquatic plants growing on it. It is also inhabited by some amphibians. It is a relatively dangerous place.

The small island, at the same time, that small island is also a gathering place for insects.

This insect, called water bug, is a highly poisonous bug unique to the Tianci River. Its body is similar to a water cockroach, flat and black. It has six legs and no tentacles. It moves very fast. It is amphibious on land and amphibious. It has a

The thick armor has strong defensive capabilities. The most important thing is that this insect is highly poisonous. Water-eating insects make a living by eating rotting corpses in the water and highly toxic aquatic plants, and they carry very powerful corpse poison.

, if a human is bitten, the body will soon fall into paralysis. Even a human martial artist will not be able to survive. If he is besieged by many water-eating insects, even a master of the earth martial arts will die on the spot.

A long time ago, a plague of water-eating insects broke out in the Tianci River. Countless water-eating insects rushed up to the river bank and gnawed on living people everywhere. Wherever they passed, it was like locusts crossing the border. It was a mess. The entire Huangshan City was filled with blood and corpses were everywhere.

That scene was probably scarier than any horror movie. It was also because of that insect plague that people discovered that water-eating insects are very afraid of flames. As long as they are splashed by sparks, their bodies will quickly spontaneously combust until they die.

After knowing this weakness, humans began to fight back, and began to hunt and kill water-eating insects for use in refining poisons. As a result, the water-eating insects never came out to cause trouble again, and have been hiding in the God-given rivers. The fire sacrifice is to celebrate human beings.

A sacrificial activity to defeat water-eating insects has been passed down for many years. Every year on this day, masters from all forces will gather on the island and build a bonfire to kill water-eating insects and control the number of water-eating insects.

.

Because that small island is the largest gathering point for water-eating insects, many experts use that small island as a place of sacrifice, and it continues to this day.

As for the rules of the flame sacrifice, they are also very simple. That is, all parties send people into the island to find 5 tokens. It is limited to two days and two nights. As long as the tokens can be found and the tokens are successfully held, until

The forces that have completed the sacrificial activities will be eligible to enter the Flame Mountain.

The five tokens will be thrown out at will by the city lord of Huangshan City at the beginning of the flame sacrifice. Then all the forces will go to search for them after burning a stick of incense. If they find it, they just need to hold it until the sacrifice is over.

, and then bring the token back to the altar.

Because there are so many water-eating insects on the island, ordinary people dare not approach them at all. Even the masters of the Earth Martial Realm cannot resist the attack of trillions of water-eating insects. The water-eating insects not only move fast but also have amazing defense.

It also contains corpse poison. Warriors below the Earth Martial Realm will die if they enter the island, so there are not many forces who come to participate in the flame sacrifice.

There is also the most critical reason. The island itself is located in the middle of the Tianci River. There is sufficient water vapor on the island, the trees are damp, and many places are swamps. The environment is very harsh, and it is difficult to light a fire. Without a flame, it means that it cannot resist food.

The army of water bugs cannot last long if they keep using spiritual power to activate the flames. It is not easy to stay on the island for two days and two nights.

Warriors without any self-confidence would not dare to approach the island, let alone participate in any fire sacrifice.

If you want to participate in the flame sacrifice, it is very simple. You only need to arrive at the flame altar at the highest point of the island before noon. The altar will continue to burn flames for two days and two nights, so it is very easy to find. After noon,

That's when the game starts.

It was still a long time before noon. Muchen and others needed to rent a boat in advance, board the island by themselves, and then arrive at the flame altar before they could participate in the flame sacrifice.

Although water-eating insects eat meat, they do not eat wood. If you want to get close to the island, you can only take a boat. The Hongxia Mountain Bandits have no power in Huangshan City. There is no one to pick them up in a car, so they can only buy one in advance.

Boats are self-reliant. After all, not everyone is a master of the Tianwu realm and can fly around.

Huo Lian has participated in the flame sacrifice several times. He is very clear about all the procedures. He has already found a place to buy a boat. As long as he arrives at the designated place, Huo Lian can buy one... It's a bit broken.

Compared to the mahogany boats in Rukongai, this small boat is simply a broken boat. It not only leaks air from everywhere, but also has no luxurious tables and chairs, only a few simple stools for people to rest.

Muchen could only make do with it. Now it can't be said that I have plenty of money.

After getting on the boat, the two Earth Martial Realm warriors behind Huo Lian rowed the boat skillfully. Looking at the green-yellow water in the Tianci River, Muchen habitually put his hands deep into the river.

Seeing this, Huo Lian kindly reminded: "Muyu, I advise you to put your hands back on the boat."

There was no need for fire to explain the reason, because Muchen had already felt his finger being bitten by something. Although the skin was not broken, there was still a slight pain. He grabbed a huge water-eating insect and looked at the one struggling violently in his hand.

Muchen was a little curious about the bugs and opened the mouth of the water-eating bug. The densely packed sharp teeth in the mouth made people's scalp numb.

"Wow, is this a water-eating insect? It's really scary. It has a strong bite and good defense. If there are too many, it's really a troublesome thing." Seeing Muchen casually crushing a water-eating insect to death, Muchen's reaction

Evaluation, why don't you really believe it?

"It's a little experience. After water-eating insects come ashore, their eyesight is very poor. They will only follow the footsteps of their companions and walk forward one by one. As long as they don't make a big noise, they are quite safe. But water-eating insects are very harmful to all kinds of animals.

Blood is very sensitive. As long as there is a trace of blood smell, it will continue to attack the target. Therefore, on the island, we must avoid injuries. Once injured, we must find a way to stand on a high place, quickly treat the wound, and then come down.

.”

The three people in Huolian probably all know the characteristics of water-eating insects, and these words were meant for Muchen and Danxin to hear.

"Besides being afraid of fire, what other weaknesses do water-eating insects have? How can we avoid them?"

"In addition to flames, water-eating insects are also afraid of thunder and lightning, and they cannot climb high. Except for the sense of smell, their other senses are not strong. If they are besieged by water-eating insects, the best way is to find a high point as soon as possible.

You can also use some repellent powder to drive away the bugs, but the effect is not very good. Once you are injured, no repellent powder can stop the water bugs."
