Everyone was quiet for a while, and the situation in front of them was a little weird.
Su Chen didn't mention that we encountered magma lakes and fire spirits before, but mentioned that it was only a stick of incense that Shi Lei separated from them.
"So, he was walking in this direction, but somehow disappeared?"
Xu Shan looked behind Su Chen, coming from that direction, it was impossible for him not to meet him, otherwise it was impossible for him and Su Chen to meet.
Shi Lei actually came in this direction, how could he disappear?
He habitually looked around. Since entering the canyon, he has been trying to find the walls on both sides of the canyon.
Before, because of the thick fog, not only the mountain wall could not be seen. I don't even know what is one meter away from me. Now the fog is much thinner, but I still can't see the mountain wall.
"Could it be that he passed here and happened to miss us?"
Right now, this might be the most reasonable explanation, maybe they didn't notice someone passing by just now, and Shi Lei didn't know it was nearby.
Su Chen shook his head. "This canyon is not that wide. When we came down before, the distance between the two sides of the canyon was only 30 to 40 meters."
Xu Shan thought for a while, and then said: "Could it be narrower at the top and wider at the bottom?"
"You know that some canyons are like this. The top may be slightly narrow, but the bottom may be twisted into a world. Although the fog has become much thinner, the two sides of the mountain walls have not been seen. It is really staggered."
Su Chen didn't say much, of course this is also possible, but his consciousness has been released, and there is no residual spiritual power fluctuation except here.
Even if the canyon below is slightly wider as Xu Shan said, if Shi Lei really passed by, Xu Shan would not be unaware.
Shi Lei left in order to find talent, and the speed is absolutely impossible. Coupled with the dense fog, he must be very cautious.
Xu Shan and the others walked for several hours, and their spiritual power was exhausted, so it was impossible to fly in mid-air. How could they miss it?
That being the case, it would be useless to talk too much, Su Chen was really worried, but he didn't want his silence to look different in the eyes of others in Lingshou Mountain.
"What does Junior Brother Su mean?"
"Could it be that we are responsible for Shi Lei's disappearance?"
A person behind Xu Shan took a step forward. The tone is not kind.
"Don't be rude."
Xu Shan frowned and scolded.
Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes became colder. He glanced at the man, and said to Xu Shan, "Brother Xu, would you like to help?"
"That's natural," Xu Shan nodded, and said, "Since Senior Brother Shi Lei is coming in this direction, we might as well look for it along the way."
Su Chen happened to have the same intention. If Shi Lei didn't go in this direction, then they could only look back. If Shi Lei is still not found after walking to the magma lake, it means that Shi Lei is really missing.
The other people in Lingshou Mountain were silent, but they didn't object. Su Chen didn't care about them for the time being, and the group turned back to look for Shi Lei along the way they came.
Eight or nine people lined up in a row, moving forward horizontally. Walk slowly step by step. Since the search area has increased, naturally no clues will be missed.
After walking for a long time, they didn't find anything, and the expressions of several people were a little bit bad.
After walking for a while, the fire essence that had been devoured and refined by Su Chen suddenly began to stir.
Su Chen's movements suddenly stopped, his face changed several times, and he suddenly looked to the left.
The left side happened to be the disciple of Lingshou Mountain, noticing the slight change in his gaze, the man took a step back involuntarily. A look of wariness.
Su Chen indeed passed him to look behind them, the fog had gradually thinned, and he vaguely saw a vague figure.
Liu Qingzhu sensed something was wrong. Following his gaze, seeing that figure, he flew forward without hesitation. The mist was waved away, but the figure dissipated like a flower in a mirror and the moon in water.
Su Chen didn't take it back, his gaze was still fixed in that direction, Liu Qingzhu looked back at him hesitantly.
"Senior sister, come back."
Su Chen's face was serious, but he didn't move, and his voice carried a trace of imperceptible tension.
Hearing this, Liu Qingzhu retreated to his side step by step, and Xu Shan immediately led Lingshoushan and others to Lin Mu's side.
"come out."
Su Chen's voice was low, with his right hand behind his back, he quickly made several gestures. Liu Qingzhu and Lin Mu looked at each other with surprise.
Unknowingly when a breeze blew in the valley, misty mist rippling with the wind, that erratic figure appeared again, and then everyone only heard a chuckle in their ears.
"interesting."
The voice was fluttering and flickering, and I didn't know the direction.
"Senior Brother Shi Lei. Are you there?"
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, he looked quite calm, but unexpectedly asked.
Liu Qingzhu was shocked in his heart, and pinched the tactic with his right hand, while Lin Mu's face was faintly pale, staring at the erratic figure.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the figure approached him a few steps in a nonchalant manner.
"Hand over what's inside you."
The erratic voice is a bit more real now, but the figure is still like a ghost in the dark night, unreal.
Su Chen made a cold arc, "You can come and get it."
The people in Lingshou Mountain had already held their breath. The strange situation in front of them really tested their nerves.
Liu Qingzhu's whole body was tense, and he only brought that figure with him. After all, he was going to make a move later, but Su Chen made several gestures to tell her not to act rashly.
Although he couldn't be sure, Su Chen seemed to sense Shi Lei's aura, which was erratic, just like the figure in front of him.
He wanted to detect Shi Lei's aura more clearly. Once he was sure that Shi Lei was here, he would definitely strike without hesitation. The figure seemed to have seen Su Chen's intentions, and did not continue to approach.
At this time, the Huo Jing in Su Chen's dantian became more restless, and the Zhiyang Yuan force that was suppressed by him also began to move around.
Although he had devoured the fire essence, he hadn't completely refined it. On the one hand, it was naturally because he was worried about Liu Qingzhu and the others, and on the other hand, it was actually because the fire was very troublesome to refine.
If it's just pure yang fire essence, after Su Chen swallows the dragon fruit directly, it can be quickly refined in the dantian, but this fire essence has two attributes.
Su Chen already knew when he was refining that if he couldn't maintain the balance of the two attributes, the fire essence might collapse in an instant, and his previous efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, he can only fight steadily, devouring and refining bit by bit. Fortunately, he has already swallowed one-third of Huo Jing's body before, and the remaining part has swallowed half, and the remaining part can only be waited for. It will come slowly later.
