“Ouch, my ass is almost blistering!” Zhao Manyan cried out, tugging himself away from the spot he was hiding in.
“Can you stop crying, for Heavens’ sake!?” Mu Bai asked impatiently.
“F**k me, am I not allowed to complain while doing something so dangerous? Isn’t it the same as a woman being pinched down to the ground, but she would be called a slut if she started moaning?” Zhao Manyan immediately rebuked him.
“Seriously, how low can you go!?” Mo Fan grumbled.
The three men had cautiously moved forward and finally reached the safe spot. Zhao Manyan tried poking his head out, but the lava happened to be surging at him. He quickly tugged his head back inside the gap, and smelled his gold-dyed hair burning.
“I spent three thousand on my hair!” Zhao Manyan kept grumbling.
Mu Bai could not stand people that kept grumbling non-stop. He had been extremely annoyed by Dongfang Xifeng previously, and now Zhao Manyan was doing the same thing!
“We don’t have much time left. If we waste any more time, we’ll have to bury two pretty girls here, and we’ll soon accompany them! After the next wave, we’ll make our way to the top!” Mo Fan declared.
Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai nodded. Mu Bai did not forget to remind Zhao Manyan coldly, “Now, isn’t it time for you to shut up?”
“I’m telling you, ever since we came to Sun Ridge, every word I have said I have considered to be my last words. I will keep saying them as long as I still have the chance!” Zhao Manyan answered heartily.
“Get ready!” Mo Fan ignored their bickering; his attention was on the lava surge.
As soon as the surge of flames weakened, Mo Fan was the first to dash out of the gap. Little Flame Belle helped him drive the remaining flames away, preventing them from being burned.
The trio reached the lava well. Zhao Manyan immediately summoned his golden wings and flew to the center of the pool.
Mo Fan and Mu Bai nimbly jumped back and forth between the walls to make their way up the well, managing to keep up with Zhao Manyan.
When they reached the Primitive Soul-grade Flame, Mo Fan realized it was a fiery crystalline red three-leaf clover. Its leaves were extremely thin, with a mysterious and special scarlet hue!
“The lava is coming!” Zhao Manyan yelled.
Mo Fan quickly shifted his attention away from the dazzling Primitive Soul-grade Fire. He jumped higher into the air and placed himself in front of Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai.
“Little Flame Belle!” Mo Fan Summoned her.
Little Flame Belle dived into Mo Fan’s chest and set his heart ablaze. Scorching hot and powerful blood circulated within him, transforming him into a fiery demon!
Mo Fan spread his arms, gathering the flames of the Ardent Sunset and Calamity Fire above him like an umbrella.
The fiery umbrella deformed as soon as the Brown Lava made contact with it. The Brown Lava was almost unstoppable; its flames were on par with the two kinds of Soul-grade Fire Little Flame Belle possessed.!
“Hang in there, it’s already a disgrace to be hiding under your crotch!” Zhao Manyan yelled up at him.
The force of impact from the Brown Lava was very strong. Mo Fan had no chance of resisting it head-on. He could only force it to both sides as it continued to flow down the tunnel…
Half a minute later, the lava surged finally stopped. Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh. He lowered his arms and noticed that they had already blistered.
“The Brown Lava is very tough to deal with. Don’t lower your guard!” Mo Fan reminded them.
“Just hurry up!” Mu Bai snapped.
Mo Fan nodded. He let the two take over, as he had to focus on refining the scarlet Soul-grade Fire.
The Three-Leafed Scarlet Soul-grade Fire looked extremely pure. It had not been exposed to the slightest impurity in its environment. The purer an Elemental Seed was, and the longer it was refined by strong flames, the stronger it was, and the easier it would be to modify it!
Mo Fan desperately needed a suitable Soul-grade Fire!
Mo Fan reached out his hand, and started directing the Soul-grade Flame toward his body and soul. Little Flame Belle could not provide him with any help during the process. If she tried to interfere, the Soul-grade Flame would end up rejecting him. It was similar to a house; despite how luxurious the house was, a woman would be reluctant to move into it if she knew there were already two women living inside!
Mo Fan only had the Rose Flame inside his body, which did not really pose any threat to the Soul-grade Fire. Little Flame Belle withdrew from his body, allowing Mo Fan to trick the pure, innocent Soul-grade Fire…
Not only was a Soul-grade Fire intelligent, but it also had its own consciousness!
Some Soul-grade Fires were like wild horses, untameable and alert. An overwhelming bearing was required to subdue such Soul-grade Fires with brute force.
Other Soul-grade Fires were like quiet hares, burning gently in a corner. They did not attract too much attention, and would rarely attack the living creatures nearby. However, if anyone tried to forcibly absorb them, they would fight back fiercely. One needed to have more patience and sincerity when subduing that kind of Soul-grade Fire…
The Three-Leafed Scarlet Soul-grade Fire that Mo Fan had discovered was like a blank sheet of paper, like a teenage girl that had merged perfectly with nature after being trapped under a mountain. She seemed curious and excited when she met Mo Fan. After all, it was her first time meeting another existence!
Other Soul-grade Fires would know that having a host was a chance for them to showcase their talents and powers, but the pure and innocent Soul-grade Fire was actually a little afraid of the outside world when she learned Mo Fan’s intention. She was a little reluctant, since she knew she would have to leave this place if she chose to go with Mo Fan.
It gave Mo Fan a slight headache. The Soul-grade Fire was obviously interested in him, yet how could he possibly convince her to go with him when she knew nothing at all!?

The second wave of lava came pouring down. Zhao Manyan’s face immediately turned pale as he looked up.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and block it; didn’t you insist on going first!?” Mu Bai yelled at.
“I know, but it’s not as easy as I imagined!”
Zhao Manyan had been injured by the Fiery-Winged Dominator earlier, and had yet to recover from his injuries. It was unlikely he could cast Titan Body again!
One layer, two layers, three layers; the Light Element, the Earth Element, the Water Element, the Ring of Venice, the Bracelet of Light, the Earth Armor… Mu Bai was dumbfounded when he saw Zhao Manyan using every defensive spell and equipment he had. How scared of death was this guy?! Not only did he cast so many defensive spells on himself, he had even equipped so many dazzling defensive magic items!
