Chapter 174 Fire of the Netherworld
Mu Qingli frowned and looked at the Flaming Mountain in front of him, shaking his head and said, "No, this is different from the Flaming Mountain we encountered when we came in. Look at the top of the mountain, this one is flat."
After hearing Mu Qingli's reminder, everyone thought of the Flaming Mountain they encountered when they came here. It was a pointed Flaming Mountain.
Murong Jingchen felt the active fire element in the air and took a deep breath: "I think the fire element here is stronger than outside."
As soon as Murong Jingchen finished speaking, the Flaming Mountain in front of him seemed to understand, and the heat coming out of the top of the mountain became deeper.
But because the distance was too far, several people did not notice the changes in the Flaming Mountain.
Gradually stepping into the range of Flaming Mountain, the feeling of burning heat hit everyone's face. Even with the protection of spiritual energy, everyone still broke out in sweat.
"It's so hot, could there be some fire-related treasure hidden here?"
Luo Ning looked at the earth that was smoking and an idea came to his mind.
Xiao Lingyi nodded after hearing her words: "I think so too. Fortunately, this heat is bearable. I just hope it won't get hotter."
At this moment, the Flaming Mountain in front suddenly shook, and a huge heat wave spurted out with the shaking of the Flaming Mountain.
Xiao Lingyi: “…” It turns out that I’m the one with the bad mouth.
Fortunately, the heat wave did not last long. After the volcano stopped shaking, a flame appeared at the mountain pass.
The flames flew down from the mountain pass in a hurry, as if they were waiting for someone.
The flame was only the size of a fingertip, and its color was very similar to that of the Flaming Mountain, so no one noticed it when it flew down.
"Hey! Will you be my master?"
A voice suddenly appeared, startling everyone.
After looking around, I didn't see anyone.
"Look down!" the voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Everyone looked down at the ground again, looked around, and found the thumb-sized flame in front of Mu Qingli.
"Hey, the lady in red, I'm talking to you! Will you be my master?"
Mu Qingli lowered her eyes and looked at the flame, the talking flame.
Seeing that Mu Qingli ignored it, the flame flew up and landed right in front of Mu Qingli.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought - the Netherworld Fire.
Thinking of this possibility, everyone's breathing quickened, and some even wanted to nod in agreement on behalf of Mu Qingli.
Mu Qingli naturally guessed the identity of Huo Miao, but there was no interest on his face: "Why did you choose me as your master?"
The flame seemed to be struck by this question and was speechless for a moment. But then it changed its mind and realized that it was the Netherworld Fire that others could not obtain even if they begged for it. Its voice became confident again: "I would not acknowledge you even if others begged me to do so. It is your honor to be your master."
Mu Qingli chuckled: "Then go choose someone else, I don't care."
The Nether Fire was a little angry: "You don't know me, do you? I am the Nether Fire! The second-ranked Nether Fire in the world!"
Mu Qingli looked at it seriously and shook his head: "You said you were second, what's so great about second? If I had to choose, I would choose first."
Netherfire didn't expect that even after he revealed his identity, the man in front of him still looked indifferent, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
It has existed in this world for billions of years. This was the first time it wanted to recognize a human as its master, but unfortunately it was rejected.
But he didn't want to give up on the woman before him. He could sense the fire element in her, the purest he had encountered in all those years, even higher than his own. If he gave up on this woman, he would never meet her again.
The Netherworld Fire also has its own selfish desires. As long as it signs a contract with the woman in front of it, it can also share the woman's fire element.
"Do you know what ranks first? It's the Flame of Nirvana. The Flame of Nirvana is the first flame of the ancient mythical beast, the Phoenix, after its nirvana and rebirth. There are no phoenixes in the world anymore, so you will never encounter the Flame of Nirvana."
The Netherfire spoke with such certainty, as if he had witnessed the extinction of the Phoenix with his own eyes.
While speaking, it secretly paid attention to Mu Qingli's expression. Seeing that Mu Qingli remained unmoved, it gradually became anxious.
"There are only benefits and no disadvantages in signing a contract with me. I can also help you improve your strength. Do you really not want to sign a contract with me?"
Listening to the conversation between Mu Qingli and Netherfire, the ten people following behind didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
I was afraid that my loud voice would disturb the Netherworld Fire. If the Netherworld Fire was scared away, it would be a real sin.
Mu Qingli chuckled and asked the first question: "Why did you choose me?"
Netherfire knew that if he didn't tell the person in front of him, he would definitely not be willing to make a contract with him, so he told the truth: "Because your fire element is very powerful, the most powerful I have ever seen, barely stronger than me."
Mu Qingli nodded: "What else?"
The Nether Fire flickered for a moment and was silent for about a minute.
During this time, no one made a sound and time seemed to pass very slowly.
Finally, the Nether Fire said, "I need a master, otherwise I will disappear."
Mu Qingli was a little surprised. She had just guessed that there must be other reasons for the Nether Fire, but she didn't expect it to be this reason. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
The Netherworld Fire trembled again, its voice complaining and aggrieved. "Heaven says that if I don't find a suitable master within ten thousand years, all my memories will be taken away. If I lose all my memories, what's the difference between that and disappearing? I don't want to lose any of my old memories."
"So this is why you appear every five hundred years?"
Hearing Mu Qingli's question, Netherfire nodded: "That's right! But every time they come in, it's all a bunch of trash! It would be better for me to disappear than to make a contract with that trash.
But you guys are barely acceptable, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to bring you in."
Mu Qingli heard the arrogance in Netherfire's voice: "If I had always refused to sign a contract with you, who else would you have chosen?"
The Netherworld Fire instantly circled around the few people, and finally landed in front of Mu Qingchen: "He is the second choice."
Then, without stopping, he flew in front of Murong Jingchen: "He is the third choice."
Finally, it landed in front of Luo Yu: "He is the fourth choice. The others are ranked fifth for now."
Mu Qingli nodded. "Since you're so honest, I'll reluctantly sign a contract with you. However, do you want to express your sincerity?"
The Nether Fire flashed excitedly several times when it heard Mu Qingli's words: "Are you really willing to sign a contract with me?"
