Tie Lang's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide!
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that the collapse had long since ended. There was no longer the loud rumbling sound of the falling rocks and soil. His body was lying flat on the ground, with everything below his chest buried in the dirt. His vision was completely dark, without a single trace of light.
After trying to stretch his limbs, Tie Lang was very glad that his body was fine. He slowly twisted his body and climbed out of the soil. He carefully stood up and looked around.
"Cough, cough …" Tie Lang could not help but cough a few times. At this moment, his entire body was covered in dust, and there was also quite a bit of dust in his mouth and nose.
"Chirp, chirp!"
The little gray bean crawled out from Iron Wolf's bosom and stood on his shoulder.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.
Although he already knew that his real name was Shen Lang, Tie Lang did not want to change his name. He still needed to understand a lot of things. He also needed to understand the memories of his father, mother, and a large number of enemies that appeared in his mind. He believed that when he stood in front of the Chou family with Shen Lang's name, he must have a power that would make his opponent tremble in fear!
Furthermore, in the past eleven years, he had already adapted to the name Iron Wolf.
"The Leng Clan is really ruthless. They delayed handing over the mine for the past few days, and they actually secretly planted explosives in the mine. The mine has been completely destroyed!"
Tie Lang took out a Moonstone from his bosom and used his strength to rub it a few times. A faint blue light then radiated from the Moonstone. With this faint light, Tie Lang looked around.
His back was completely sealed, and it was impossible for him to escape from this direction. However, in front of him on his left was a passageway that was as tall as a person.
He held the Moonstone in his hand and walked towards the direction of the tunnel, one step at a time …
Iron Wolf had originally thought that this passageway was one for mining the red sulphur mine. However, along the way, he did not discover any traces of manmade men who had opened mines. This passage was completely natural. The walls of the passage were covered with light red moss. From the looks of it, it must have been here for many years.
"This is not a mine?" Where would it lead to? "Can you let me walk out from underground?" Tie Lang pondered, and kept moving forward.
"Hmm? Why was the temperature getting hotter? Is there a fire in front of us? " After walking for about half an hour, Iron Wolf felt the temperature in the tunnel was getting hotter and hotter. Even with his body's resistance, it would be somewhat difficult for him to rush over.
However, what surprised him was that the little gray bean on his shoulder didn't seem to be affected by the temperature at all. Instead, it seemed to be very excited, chirping non-stop.
After walking for a while, the temperature became even higher and light started to appear before his eyes.
"Haha, is it about to exit?" Tie Lang could not help but quicken his pace.
A few minutes later, the passageway suddenly opened up, and a crimson ray of light rushed into their sights, bringing with it a surging heatwave.
Appearing in front of Iron Wolf was a large fire pool, its surface completely covered with flames. Under the flame, it was filled with magma that was red in color. Huge bubbles continuously bubbled from the boiling magma. The moment the bubbles reached the surface of the magma, they would directly shatter, turning into balls of blue flames …
Waves of scorching air waves crazily crashed and churned, causing even the air to become slightly distorted.
"So hot!" Tie Lang couldn't help but take two steps back. He channeled the true energy within his body into his entire body, and only then did he feel slightly better.
His gaze swept across the space slowly. Suddenly, something that appeared occasionally in the rolling lava attracted Iron Wolf's attention!
It was actually a sparkling and translucent beast bone that was over fifty feet large. It was as white as jade and there was a faint purplish-red glow flickering within it!
He had never seen such a huge beast bone iron wolf before. From the pressure that was faintly emitted from the skeleton, one could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary Demonic Beast. Perhaps it was a powerful Spirit Beast, but it was unknown why it died here.
"Chirp, chirp!"
Just when Iron Wolf was amazed and puzzled over this beast bone, the little gray bean on his shoulder let out a loud cry of excitement. The feathers on its body were fully opened as it flapped its wings continuously, transforming into a gray shadow that rushed into the fire pit, in the direction of the mysterious beast bone.
"Little Grey Bean!" "Come back quickly!"
The abnormal reaction of the little gray bean made Tie Lang's expression change as he repeatedly shouted.
However, the normally obedient little gray bean didn't listen to Iron Wolf's summons at all this time. Instead, it directly rushed to the top of the floating beast bone. The impact of the heat wave caused its tiny body to sway, but it remained motionless. Eyes fixed on the mysterious beast skeleton, a pair of wings flapped crazily, maintaining balance …
"What is this little guy trying to do?" Seeing the strange actions of the little gray bean, Iron Wolf couldn't help but be puzzled. However, he knew that there must be a reason behind the actions of the little gray bean. Perhaps there was something within the skeleton that attracted it!
Under Lin Dong's puzzled gaze, the enormous beast bone finally revealed its head as the magma churned. The little gray bean finally moved! Like a black ray of light, he charged into the skull hole at the head and eyes of the beast!
Under Tie Lang's horrified gaze, the little gray bean finally flew out of the skeleton's head before it could sink into the magma.
Tie Lang took a closer look and saw that the little gray bean was holding a red object in its mouth. It was a round pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, with a layer of purple flames enveloping it. The burning purple flames looked like a bird flapping its wings.
"What's that?"
Although they were not very close, the iron-wolf could feel an extremely dangerous aura from the bead.
The little gray bean quickly flew back to the edge of the fire pit, but didn't land near Iron Wolf.
It first placed the fiery-red bead on the ground, then opened its mouth and spat out a thin line of blood, directly rushing towards the bead.
Soon after, to Tie Lang's surprise, the bead quickly turned into a ball of red gas. The gas kept rolling and in a flash, it formed a strange red bird. It flapped its wings and was about to fly away.
In almost an instant, a scorching red flame was violently ejected from the little gray bean's body. The tiny gray bean was covered in flames, and its fist-sized body started to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to half a meter in size. An extremely majestic aura exploded from his body, causing Iron Wolf to feel an incomparable sense of oppression.
Screech!
A clear bird cry sounded out, and the flames above the fire pond were actually blown backwards.
Iron Wolf couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the little gray bean's body grow at an astonishing speed. He subconsciously took a few steps back.
This place was rather strange, and he did not know what the little gray bean would turn into next. Although he felt that the little gray bean would not harm him, he had to be careful.
Screech! The little gray bean once again let out a loud and clear cry. Its body unexpectedly expanded to nearly ten feet in size! The aura emanating from his body was even more terrifying. Clusters of red flames kept shooting out from its body, the violent flames causing the air to fluctuate. A wave of heat that was even higher than the previous one hit Tie Lang, causing him to step back more than ten steps before he finally felt better.
Moments later, its body seemed to have expanded to the limit, quickly shrinking back to about a foot in size. The feathers on its body turned a fiery red, as if a layer of red flames was flowing on the surface of its body …
"Little Grey Bean?"
Seeing that nothing bad had happened to the little gray bean, Tie Lang finally let out a sigh of relief and shouted at the little gray bean.
"Screech!"
Hearing Tie Lang's call, the little gray bean immediately turned its head, flapped its wings and flew to Tie Lang's outstretched arm. It used its same golden beak to lightly peck at Tie Lang's hand a few times.
Feeling the intimacy between him and the little gray bean, Iron Wolf started to size it up carefully.
Not only did the size of the little gray bean change, but its entire body was completely different from before. His originally black claws had turned gold, and the tip of his claws was incomparably sharp. A perfect golden beak with a perfect curve was three times larger than before, and it was emitting a sharp luster. It seemed as if it possessed a certain degree of lethality …
"How is this still just a little gray bean?" Tie Lang also didn't understand the changes that had occurred with the little gray bean. He also did not know what kind of bird this little gray bean was. However, he knew that this change must have something to do with the pearl he had just swallowed.
"Perhaps that pearl is the crystal of the huge bird bone owner's demon beast? After the little gray bean swallowed the beast core, she had probably become a demon beast already. I wonder how strong it is? " Tie Lang thought to himself.
This might be a good thing for him." This might be a good thing for him. "It might be a good thing for him. If she was still by his side, she might become a big help to him!
"Forget it, there is no way out of this place. I should retreat quickly!" Tie Lang thought to himself.
With a turn of his body, he decided to return through the same route. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded in Iron Wolf's mind. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. There are still good things here!"
"Who?" Tie Lang could not help but feel his scalp tingle as he asked loudly. She felt extremely uneasy. Why was there someone else here …
