Chapter 43: Lava Valley (1)
Unlike the three spirited candidates, Shen Yanshuo stood at the edge with a dazed expression, her eyes unfocused and wandering as if she wasn't listening to Shen Feng's instructions. The only bright and delicate feature on her face was her pair of eyes that wandered aimlessly without any focus. On her body, there was no sign of caution for the upcoming journey, just like an ignorant child who had been dragged into this team.
Such a Shen Yan Xiao standing beside the other three people formed an extremely strong contrast.
Three handsome and beautiful young men were standing with spirit, but next to them was this ugly and awkward little duckling, the scene was really laughable.
Shen Jiayi made a special effort to dress up carefully before coming out, and she deliberately stood beside Shen Yanshuo. Her lovely face, which had been carefully decorated, looked even more beautiful and moving under Shen Yanshuo's ordinary support.
Two people stand side by side, as different as heaven and earth.
A triumphant smile spread across Shen Jiayi's mouth, as the only two girls of the Zhuque clan's generation were her and Shen Yanshuo, with Shen Yanshuo's ugliness undoubtedly serving to set off her beauty.
Even if she can't win Zhu Que, she wants to make this fool suffer on this road, lose face in front of Sheng Jun, and avenge the humiliation she suffered before!
"Yes." Shen Yifeng and the other two replied respectfully.
This time, it's not only about whether the Zhuque family can return to its peak, but also about their future status in the Zhuque family. No matter who it is, no one will let go of such an opportunity!
……
The terrain of Lava Valley is just like its name, nestled among several high mountains, with gray rocks left over from the burning everywhere. Although it's already autumn, which should be cool and refreshing, Lava Valley is extremely hot, with rolling heat waves surging up from the ground. Looking around, not a single plant can be seen in the entire valley, and from afar, it looks like a black rift valley cleaved open among green forests.
There is no human habitation near the Lava Canyon, and everyone in the Longxuan Empire knows that even the most undemanding wolves do not want to settle down in this desolate and scorching place. Only those eerie beasts hide behind the rocks, barely surviving.
Once, the Lava Valley did not exist, and this place was also covered with a green color. However, after the Vermilion Bird decided to settle here, all life was burned out by the flames of the Vermilion Bird, and vitality completely disappeared from this land.
Apart from the Zhuque family sending someone every generation to check on Zhuque's sleeping situation, no one else is willing to set foot in this land of death.
Even if it were the Vermilion Bird family who came, each inspection would still cause great damage. The high temperatures of the Lava Valley made it impossible for those who had not reached the sixth rank to stay for long periods of time. The hidden beasts in the dark were waiting for an opportunity to strike, and each inspection often resulted in a batch of people dying at the hands of those ferocious beasts. However, despite this, the Vermilion Bird family still refused to give up on this land that they considered sacred.
Seven or eight luxurious carriages slowly entered the quiet valley, with the leading carriage being much larger than the ones behind. It was strange that despite the scorching heat, a hint of coolness emanated from around the carriages, completely unaffected by the high temperature.
