In the days of surviving in the fairy forest

The little fox fell down unexpectedly.

Even if he can no longer use his mind power, with his current flame ability, it is not difficult to fly again.

However, this bad guy behind his back can not only easily cut off his thoughts, control the movement of the flame leaves, but even make a big hole appear out of thin air on the ground—the first few may also be classified as strong racial skills , the last one made Rick have to think carefully about this person's true identity.

Therefore, he did not resist. After the initial panic, he quickly adjusted his falling posture and fell without any resistance.

About to fall into the hole that was mostly covered by the flame leaves, he intentionally made the angle of his fall a little bit off, and the hole moved slightly accordingly, ensuring that the little fox would fall into the hole as a whole.

Pang Pang lay on the tip of the little fox's tail from the beginning to the end without moving.Obviously, his thinking is similar to that of the little fox—whether the man behind the scenes is an enemy or a friend, now they are in the clear, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the safest solution, and maybe they can use this to find out the details of the volcanic forest.

Only Ali was really scared.He whimpered in horror, braved the bitter wind and climbed down from the top of the fox's head with difficulty. He stretched out his claws to wrap their backs tightly, and confirmed that the exposed parts were made of fireproof worm silk before hugging them tightly. Tail, hid in the fox fur and refused to come out.

Always pay attention to the surrounding environment, and when a bright red light appeared in his eyes, Rick narrowed his eyes slightly, curled up his tail, and protected Fatty and Ali tightly, with his front paws together, he jumped in the most standard diving posture. into the lava lake.

Putong submerged into the bottom of the lake, and swam out again wagging its tail. The little fox raised its head and gasped: "Are you all right?"

Fatty crawled on top of Rick's head, and rubbed his hair sticking to the hot magma on the tips of his ears.The squirrel swam over to lean on the fox's paw, quickly checked their backpacks, and found that all the packages were in good condition, so they were relieved.

"Your worm silk is really strong," he praised Pangpang waving his claws, "it can even resist such a high temperature of magma."

"Isn't this the easiest thing?" Pang Pang snorted pretending not to care, but his tail was raised high, obviously very happy.

The little fox looked left and right, and found that this place was exactly the same as the one he and Ali had visited before, and lost interest in exploring for a moment.He floated motionless in the lava lake:

"Although I don't know who you are, but if you want to meet us, how about sending us there directly? We are very short on time."

Squirrel just talked about the issue of mind power before, and his mind power immediately went offline. Obviously, this can't be some strange coincidence.

Fatty frowned slightly, thinking that the little fox's approach was too risky.He stood up straight, his ears pricked up vigilantly, and the tip of his claws was looming. He was ready to attack immediately if the situation was not good.

The voice fell, and the inside of the cave was so quiet.

Rick looked around suspiciously. Just when he thought he had made a mistake in his judgment and was about to go ashore to have a look before talking, a vortex appeared from the bottom of the magma lake, and the three of them were sucked into it by a huge suction force, and they disappeared almost instantly.

……

"Puff! Puff!" The little fox propped his paws on the ground, and the magma that accidentally choked into his mouth had an unpleasant sulfur smell, "Can't we just teleport it directly? This is too uncomfortable."

Chubby sat on the ground dazedly, and the squirrel leaned against him, holding its backpack tightly with its paws.

They looked messy, and they didn't seem to have recovered from the turbulent magma vortex just now. However, the worm silk at the tip of Chubby's claws was already ready to go, and Ah Li's healing energy had already fallen silently on the little fox and Fatty. fat body.

"Is this the hillside?" Ali asked uncertainly in a low voice, looking up at the bright and hot sun, a little confused about how they returned to the ground from such a deep underground cave in an instant.

They stood on the flat ground, surrounded by sparse fire-red weeds, turned their heads and looked down, and could see the flaming leaves all over the mountains not far away.

Everything seemed normal—if a lake of lava hadn't popped out of nowhere on the ground a minute ago, throwing them out one by one.

"Hello?" Rick tentatively walked forward and asked in a raised voice, "I can feel that you are not hostile to me. Are you here—the core of magic?"

Fatty blocked the squirrel behind him, arching his back slightly.

The rustling sound came from the flame tree not far away, and the flame leaves fell from the tree one after another, as if being carried by a strong wind, they spun and flew towards the hillside, leaving only the bare brown trunk.

Halfway through the leaves, the leaves almost lost their shape, and gradually merged together, burning into a raging fire, covering the entire hillside.

Pangpang grabbed the squirrel's tail, trying to avoid the flames, but was stopped by the little fox's paw.

"This flame is harmless," he whispered.

What's wrong with the flames, the flames can only cook the rabbits!Fatty clicked his tongue, and was about to complain about him, when he suddenly froze, allowing himself to be swallowed by the flames, and within the scorching bright flames, he heard a weak but gentle voice.

[I am not a magic core. ]

The little fox shook its tail and stretched out its paws to cover the squirrel's eyes to prevent him from being burned by the dazzling light.His tone was polite: "Then what should I call you?"

There is no fox to help cover his eyes, so he can only weave a blindfold with worm silk to cover his head. Plump tried his best to prick his ears, trying to find out where the sound came from, but he couldn't find it.

[Strictly speaking, I don't have a name.But you can call me... Volcanic Forest. ]

Rick was startled.

At first I thought this statement was absurd, but when I thought about it carefully, the one who could control the environmental changes inside the volcanic forest, and even know their every move in the volcanic forest, wasn't it the volcanic forest itself?

Thinking of the repulsion he felt when his mind power skills were cut off, the little fox believed it in his heart.

Since plants can become essences, why can't forests become essences.

——However, it takes thousands of years for plants to become spirits and the flesh and blood of countless animals. How harsh and dark are the conditions for forests to become spirits?

"Hello, uh, Volcanic Forest?" Rick stretched out his claws and scratched his ears, instead of relaxing, he became more vigilant, carefully inquiring about the news, "Have you ever seen a gray-legged rabbit? His brother said , he was here last year."

[I know the purpose of your coming. ]

Said the ethereal voice.

[Yes, that's right, it was indeed the Leg Rabbit that brought me back here. ]

Rick was dumbfounded for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at Fatty, who was blindfolded and his ears crooked. He didn't intend to interrupt, and continued to listen quietly.

[I know you have a lot of doubts... but I'm running out of time. ]

The flame gradually became smaller. It originally covered the entire hillside, but now it can barely wrap Rick, Ali, and Pangpang in it.

[Jump into this burrow, go deep, follow this tunnel, you will find what you want. ]

After a few loud bangs, Rick turned his head and saw another hole appeared behind him at some point, extending down a deep, dark passage.

[No time to explain...follow this guide, little fox, good luck...]

The flames grew dimmer.

Rick flicked his tail and slapped his paw on the ground vigorously, azure flames spewed out and merged with the almost extinguished flames.

The blazing flames wrapped up the little fox, Ah Li and Pang Pang precisely, without wasting any excess energy.

[? ]

Even though he didn't make a sound, the little fox could feel the bewilderment and confusion of the volcanic forest.

"My flame can also condense flame balls, I think it should also be able to provide you with some energy?" He bent his eyes slyly, paused, and added, "Don't worry, I can control the range of the flame. It shouldn't be a problem to persist for ten minutes, enough for you to explain the whole thing clearly."

[......]

[Well, tell me if you can't hold on. ]

There was a little helplessness in the voice of the volcano forest.

The form of his existence is very different from that of animals and plants. It is not as simple as the little fox imagined to convey his thoughts to the minds of animals.Even if the little fox's strength surpassed his expectations by leaps and bounds, Yue Mo could only let him talk for another half a minute.

[There is no magic core in the forest at all. The so-called magic core is actually the crystallization of the energy of the volcanic forest. ]

His first sentence made the little fox, Ali and Pangpang Qiqi's eyes widen, and they exclaimed in disbelief.

[The ermine tricked all the animals in the forest. ]

He used to be just an ordinary capuchin ermine, and because his racial skill was a mutated healing ability, he was extremely popular among the capuchin ermine clan, and even became the deputy head of the capuchin ermine clan.

But capuchin ermine is not reconciled.He hopes to have more powerful abilities, instead of always standing behind other animals to help them heal their injuries. One day 40 years ago, he came to the volcanic forest.

"40 years ago?" Fatty couldn't help blurting out.

The royal bee family has not appeared in the forest for ten years, and it has become a legend that does not know whether it exists... For the animals in the forest, more than 40 years seems to have passed a whole century.

[At that time, the volcanic forest was a sacred place in the forest, because it was as warm as spring all year round, and the birds liked to rest and build their nests on the sycamore trees in the volcanic forest, and the animals would move their families here in the cold winter. ]

"There is Phoenix Mountain, and there are phoenix trees in the mountain. The gods live here, and the four seasons are like spring," the squirrel murmured. "This legend does not describe the place where the inspectors live, but this place?"

[Volcanic forest, once also known as Phoenix Mountain. ]

His voice was self-deprecating and sad.

[Of course, probably no animal in the forest remembers this now. ]
