Translator: Novel Saga  Editor: Novel Saga

Shi Mu let out a soft sigh, and the expression in his eyes calmed .

The Hundred-Thousand Volcanoes was an extremely dangerous place . So, it was too dangerous to cross it . But, it wasn't an impossible task either .

There was a large city to the west of the Hundred-Thousand Volcanoes . It was similar to the size of the Red Flame city . It was called Fire Prison City . It was connected with the Red Flame City by a large-scale transmission magic spell . One could be directly transmitted to the Fire Prison City through this transmission spell .

Obviously, the people of the Fire Prison City could also be directly transmitted to the Red Flame City .

The location of these two cities — Red Flame City and Fire Prison City was – was very special . They happened to be located on the boundary line between the Demon race and the Barbarian race .

It was said that the key figures of both races had negotiated this transmission array at the time of building . According to that negotiation… the use of magic power for fighting was prohibited in both cities . Also, both sides must put down racial hatred for the time being, and live together in peace .

It was true that the Demon race and the Barbarian race had always been hostile to each other . But, both sides did have a certain degree of mutual dependence as well .

The Barbarian race needed a lot of resources that were found in the territory of the Demon race in abundance . And, the Demon race also needed the products that were produced by the Barbarian race . Such requirements laid the foundation of prosperity between the Red Flame City and the Fire Prison City .

The situation in the Red Flame City happened to be very favorable for Shi Mu's further practices . He could practice here with peace of mind . In addition, he could enhance his strength, and make his final preparations for the trip to the Rising to the Heaven Mountain Peak with ease .

"Let's go . " Shi Mu said and waved his hand .

The blue shuttle lit up brightly, and enveloped him as well as Cai . Then, it flew towards the Red Flame City .

. . .

Shi Mu had already estimated the perils of the Hundred-Thousand Volcanoes to some extent . He was under the impression that this place was situated in the periphery, and thus shouldn't be too dangerous .

However, he was wrong . He realized that he had underestimated this place shortly after he began his flight .





Firstly, the volcanoes here might explode at any time regardless of their sizes . In addition, not only the hilltops were dangerous here… Even the neighboring ground might burst open and spray out columns of lava fire every now and then . And, there was a possibility that those pillars of lava might rise to a thousand feet… so much so that they could almost touch the black clouds in midair .

Moreover, this kind of ejection might give rise to a chain effect . And thus, this would cause a serial ejection for a period of time in the vicinity .

The scene of this place looked like a cluster of bright-red stone pillars connecting the earth to the sky . It was a quite magnificent sight .

Shi Mu and Cai had hardly flown three-hundred miles when they encountered such a large-scale eruption . Shi Mu was in the peripheral zone of this eruption . Plus, his reaction timing was relative very quick . So, he quickly stimulated the movement of the blue shuttle, and successfully changed its direction the moment he noticed that the situation was far from good . This way, he got through a daunting experience without mishap .

However, some people weren't so lucky . Shi Mu witnessed that a small group of barbarians was wiped out in the blink of an eye when they came under the impact of a molten lava pillar . Even their skeletons weren't spared .

In addition, the black clouds in midair – that looked to be nothing special — would also sprinkle down a torrent of acid rain from time to time like an assassin lurking in the air .

The corrosion effect of this acid rain was very strong . Not to mention the flesh and blood of martial warriors or magicians… even some defensive magic tools and spirit tools might not be able to resist it . This was also one of the reasons why there were a lot of neither-too-big nor-too-small craters on the surface of the mountainous region along the entire the way . In addition, some withered bones and rotten corpses could also be seen around them every now and then .

Hence, Shi Mu tried his best to choose only those places where some barbarians could be seen . He knew that this place was already close to the Red Flame City . So, these barbarians ought to have some experience in avoiding risks .

This journey didn't seem to be a long one in the beginning . However, Shi Mu was forced to take lots of twists and turns along the way to pass through this place . He continued to take left and right turns frequently over this cluster of volcanoes, and advanced towards the Red Flame city little by little .

Half a day later . . .

A blue light flew over a black and red mountain peak from the upward direction .

There was the blue jade shuttle in that mass of blue light, and Shi Mu stood on it . His left hand hung alongside his body, and was wrapped up in a brown glove . Shi Mu swept his gaze around with a cautious expression on his face .

Then, he stimulated a magic technique with his right hand, and the blue jade shuttle came to an abrupt stop as a result . He then gazed at a mountain peak that wasn't too far from him . A faint golden light could be seen in his eyes at the moment .

"Shi Tou, what's wrong?" Cai – who stood on Shi Mu's shoulder — followed his gaze and asked .

That mountain peak seemed to be a volcano that had just erupted . And, it could be said so since the magma that had just solidified on the surface of that mountain was still emitting wisps of steam . In addition, four person's silhouettes could be seen standing near the volcanic crater .





The three of them were tall barbarian men who wore a waist-length leopard skin . They had assumed a pincer-like position at the moment . And, the person who stood in their midst was a grey-robed human man . There was a tattoo on his face . Also, he seemed to be surrounded by these three barbarians .

"Shi Tou, this person seems to be . . . " Cai said with a little hesitation .

"Let's go and to take a look at the situation . " Shi Mu said . Simultaneously, he directed the blue jade shuttle to fly in the direction of that volcano .

On the edge of the volcanic crater . . .

"Human boy, the three of us have been waiting for this volcano for more than a month . So, be sensible and hand over the fire crystal to us!" a bald barbarian man gazed at the tattooed man and said . He was approximately ten feet tall .

"What a joke! I was constantly in the vicinity of this place over the past few days, but I never saw you or others . Besides, there are many volcanoes around apart from this one that would erupt sooner or later . So, you'll have to go there yourself to pick it up if you want to have it so desperately!" the tattooed-man replied .

"So, you are turning down our request! You are asking for death!" The bald barbarian's voice had barely faded when the other two barbarian men pounced towards the tattooed man .


One of them was a one-eyed barbarian man . He issued a low-pitched bellow as he dashed forwards . It couldn't be said when a pair of short hatchets had appeared in his hands . He drummed his hands to stimulate his Real Qi . And, the two short hatchets turned into two grey hatchet shadows in response, and pounced towards the tattooed-man .

The other barbarian was a thin and tall man . A blue light flashed in his chest, and his arms abruptly elongated and took the shape of a pair of gigantic pincers . Then, he brandished his both pincers straight towards the tattooed man in a threatening manner .

Meanwhile, three dots of star-like light emerged behind the tattooed man's head as he saw this situation . Then, he started to move the fingers of his both hands very speedily to cast a spell . Simultaneously, he began to mumble something .

The next moment, a loud rumbling sound spread from the mountain in front of him . It was followed by a brown earthen wall that emerged before him . And then, it got completely shrouded in a layer of the brown light screen .

Then, two "Ping Ping" sound was heard!

The two grey hatchet shadows bombarded the wall first, but they couldn't break it . On the contrary, a brown light flashed on the wall and flicked them off .

The thin and tall barbarian had also arrived in front of the tattooed man by now . He immediately jumped forward, and wielded his two gigantic pincers to smash the head of that tattooed man .

However, the tattooed-man was already prepared . He raised his hand and three green wind blades emerged in his hand . Then, he spun them in three different directions to chop down the opposite party .





Those three wind blades were extremely fast . On top of that, they were shot at such a close range . So, they hit the tall and thin barbarian one after another .

However, three metal-striking like "Clang" sounds rang out in the air the next moment . It couldn't be said when the surface of the thin and tall barbarian's body had got covered with a layer of blue carapace . Consequently, the three wind blades did bombard his body, but they could only leave three shallow white marks .

The tattooed man was startled to see this scene . But then, he seized this opportunity and drew back at lightning speed . Simultaneously, he evaded the smashing hit of the other gigantic pincers of the opposite party .

However, he hadn't even stabilized his body when he felt a gust of cold wind rushing towards him from one side . It was the one-eyed barbarian who had again launched an attack on him . The fact was that the one-eyed barbarian had seized the opportunity to shoot his hatches once again .

The tattooed-man knew that he could only dodge one of the hatchets since they were shot at such a tricky angle . And, he indeed couldn't avoid the other hatchet no matter what he did . And, the hatchet hit him hard in his back . Consequently, the brown light curtain on the surface of his body shattered into pieces with a loud sound . And, he was struck and sent flying by an overwhelming force . Even half of his magic power was eliminated by the impact of this shock .

"Go to hell!"

The bare-headed barbarian burst out laughing in a ferocious manner . Then, he darted towards the tattooed man like a gust of wind . It couldn't be said when a big bronze hammer had emerged in his hands . It was even higher than a man's height, and its surface was suffused with a layer of green light . It seemed like the bare-headed man was all prepared to kill the tattooed man .

The tattooed man had just fallen to the ground when he saw this scene and felt a cold shiver running down his spine . He fished out magic charm from his bosom arms . Then, he raised his hand and threw it out without further delay . The magic charm turned into a ten-feet-long fiery python, and galloped straight towards the bald barbarian .

However, the bald barbarian neither blocked it nor ducked out of the way . He instead placed his gigantic bronze hammer in front of him with a sudden movement . Numerous densely-packed green hammer-shadows appeared before him the next moment, and blocked the fiery python .

"Bang!"

The fiery python exploded, and turned into a vast cloud of fire as it touched the green hammer . At this moment, a green light suddenly appeared and tore open the cloud of fire . It was followed by the silhouette of the bald barbarian . He passed through the cloud of fire dashed toward the tattooed-man once again .

The tattooed man's complexion became ghastly pale and he closed his eyes . . . as if he resigned himself to death .

But then, the tattooed man sensed as if a golden light had flashed in front of him the moment the bald barbarian arrived in front of him . And then, a loud "Bang" sound was heard .

The tattooed man opened his eyes only to see the vicious and bald barbarian standing in front of him . However, it seemed as if he was rooted to the spot with the bronze hammer in his hand at the moment . Then, his head got separated from the body, and tumbled to the side at this moment . Also, there was still an expression of profound shock on his face .

A grey-robed young man stood not far from him in the front . He wore a brown glove on his left hand, and a conical bamboo hat on his head . A golden sword light was circling and fluttering in front of him .

Who else could this person be other than Shi Mu?

The tall and thin barbarian and the one-eyed barbarian stood not far from them . They turned around, and broke into a run as they saw this scene .

However, Shi Mu lifted his right hand and stimulated a magic art . And, the golden sword light – that was fluttering in front of him — darted out like an electric current . After that, only two anguished screams were heard . Those two barbarian men hadn't escaped far when they were beheaded . They tumbled to the ground and couldn't get up afterwards .

"You are . . . Brother Mu Shi?" The tattooed-man had crawled up to his feet by this time . He saw Shi Mu and asked in a confused manner .

"Brother Yu, long time no see . " Shi Mu turned around and greeted .

The fact was that Shi Mu was already familiar with this tattooed man . This man was Yu Yi . Shi Mu and Yu Yi had participated in the competition for the sea-trip together when they were in the ancient Xixia country .

The two of them did have a friendly relationship, but it wasn't very deep . But, both of them belonged to the same continent — the Eastern continent . So, this chance encounter had naturally made them feel little more intimate in this foreign land . Therefore, Shi Mu came out to rescue him without a hesitation when he saw that he was trapped in a perilous situation .

"It's really you! I must say that I got a new life only because of Mu Shi's remarkable power! Thank you so much for saving my life, Brother Mu!" Yu Yi was struck dumb for a moment . Then, he said .

"It's just a trivial matter . Anyways, how come you are here? Didn't you stay in the Western Dark Moon Cult?" Shi Mu glanced at Yu Yi's short grey jacket and asked .

"It's a long story . . . " Yu Yi flashed a wry smile in response to his words .

There were some facts that Shi Mu had been already aware of . He knew that Liu An had been appointed as the Vice President after they had joined the Western Dark Moon Cult . However, other Palace Lords and disciples - who had accompanied Liu An to this continent - were divided and sent to various sub-altars across the Western continent by the President of the Western Cult .

And, the president had taken this step so that Liu An could never think of staging a protest against the Western Cult .

Moreover, these disciples of the Eastern Cult were revered as the elite disciples of the Cult when they were in the Eastern continent . So, these disciples were full of pride and arrogance . But now, the old disciples of Western Cult's sub-altars would deliberately make things difficult for them or would ridicule them . They would even go so far as to embezzle their resources .

As for Yu Yi… he didn't want to be drawn into the dispute between the East and the West . Therefore, he had quietly left the sub-altar he had been assigned to more than a year ago . Later, he had a chance encounter that paved way for him to the Red Flame City . And then, he started to hunt demon beasts and dig out ores in exchange for the practicing resources .

Yu Yi was a smart person . He didn't ask the reason behind Shi Mu's appearance here . But, he soon found out that Shi Mu also wanted to go to the Red Flame City . So, he immediately said that he was familiar with this area, and readily agreed to lead the way .
