Chapter 80: Searching for the Blood Fur
Xia Muqing said, “Don’t talk if you don’t know how to talk.”
Wang San covered his face and didn’t dare to make a sound. However, the hatred in his eyes didn’t diminish at all.
Jiang Yifan suddenly cried out, “The blood fur is here!”
Xia Muqing turned around. At this moment, Wang San ignored the Sword Wolf Mercenary Group members who were lying on the ground and fled.
Xia Muqing ignored him and walked to Jiang Yifan.
As she approached, she felt a wave of heat coming at her. But at the same time, she felt a little cold. She asked curiously, “Why is this place so strange?”
Jiang Yifan knew what she wanted to ask, and he smiled. “The exterior is a layer of ice, but the inside is lava. That’s why there is such a phenomenon.”
Xia Muqing nodded in understanding.
It was obvious that this place was a cave, but the entrance was blocked by a huge rock.
She just didn’t know if it was man-made or natural.
Xia Muqing tried to push it with her hand. The stone didn’t look heavy, but no matter how much force she used, it didn’t budge at all.
Jiang Yifan frowned and guessed, “This rock should be frozen by the outer layer of ice. I doubt brute force will work. Let’s use our brains.”
Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows. “So there’s something you don’t know.”
Because Jiang Yifan had found the blood fur, he was in an excellent mood. He rubbed his head and said, “There are very few records of blood fur. I was only half-guessing after I read the scarce information.”
The two of them fell into deep thought. The nemesis of ice was definitely something with high temperatures.
Something with a high temperature here…
The two of them glanced at each other and said at the same time, “The hot spring.”
Since they had thought of a solution, they began.
Xia Muqing leaped up and plucked some huge leaves from the top of the trees.
After unfolding the leaves, they were half the height of a human.
Jiang Yifan skillfully folded these leaves into small bowls to collect the hot spring water.
The two of them busied themselves for two hours before finally melting part of the rock at the entrance of the cave.
Xia Muqing tried to push the rock and Jiang Yifan stopped collecting more water. She suddenly exerted more force and the rock was pushed away.
This was indeed a cave. It was dark inside, but a wave of heat rushed at them. Their faces turned red instantly. The faint sound of water flowing inside led them to know that the magma was in this cave.
Just as she was about to enter, a voice sounded again.
“Thank you for your generous help on behalf of the Xiao family. We’ll accept this blood fur.”
Xiao Chenglin and his men walked out from the shadows. A group of ferocious beasts followed behind them, and they were all gigantic.
They had arrived a long time ago. When they noticed that the both of them were thinking of a way to open the cave, they didn’t reveal themselves.
When Xia Muqing saw Wang San behind them, she knew that he had called for reinforcement.
Xiao Chenglin looked at the opened cave and greed flashed across his eyes. Coincidentally, he had heard of blood fur before. It was a priceless treasure.
He didn’t care about Xia Muqing and her companion. As for the heavily injured Wang San, he felt that he was too useless. He couldn’t even deal with a woman.
He had evidently forgotten about the time when he was being chased by the ferocious beasts.
Xiao Chenglin said arrogantly, “Move aside. From now on, this is the Xiao family’s territory.”
His exact words had already resulted in the loss of many people’s belongings.
Therefore, the Xiao family automatically stepped forward and surrounded the area, as if they were taking over the territory.
Xia Muqing asked, “Who said we are giving it to you?”
When Xiao Chenglin saw Xia Muqing’s expression, he recalled how embarrassed he had been in front of everyone. He hissed angrily, “Since you don’t want to leave, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange tune sounded from his mouth. The ferocious beasts lying on the ground seemed to be guided towards the two of them.
