Chapter 235 Meeting Chen Xiu by Chance
Chapter 235 Meeting Chen Xiu by Chance
As we all know, when a teacher encounters a troublesome student in this situation, his anger value will increase and his passive skill will be triggered. Yizhen is no exception.
Just when the atmosphere was about to explode, suddenly a clear voice was heard, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Xinglan? It's really you."
This familiar voice, which also carried a hint of surprise, instantly made Chu Xinglan forget everything else and look happily in the direction where the voice came from.
Sure enough, I saw Chen Xiu standing at the edge of the platform with a smile on his face.
The person he was thinking about before suddenly appeared in front of him, and Chu Xinglan ran over quickly.
"Chen Xiu, are you okay?"
As he spoke, he looked the man up and down, and was relieved to see that, aside from looking a little disheveled, the man was not injured.
"When did you get here? Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
"The communication jade slip here can't be used. I'm still worried about you."
Chen Xiu listened to his concern and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He raised his hand and touched his head.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
After that, he looked at the other two people, nodded to Yizhen as a greeting, and then looked at the stranger Chen Rui curiously.
"Is this your new friend?"
Chen Rui was a little nervous when he saw strangers, and he became even more nervous when he heard Chu Xinglan call him Chen Xiu.
Although he was out of touch with the news, he had heard of the name of the chief disciple of Cangqiong Mountain, especially since he was now thinking about going to Cangqiong Mountain.
Noticing Chen Xiu's gaze looking at her, she subconsciously stood up straight and introduced herself awkwardly.
"I'm Chen Rui, Xing Lan is my savior."
Chen Xiu nodded: "I am Chen Xiu."
After that, he looked at Chu Xinglan jokingly: "It seems that you had a wonderful experience during the time we didn't meet."
Chu Xinglan glanced at Chen Rui with amusement. Knowing that he was nervous, he did not force him to come over. Instead, he took Chen Xiu to the place where the three of them had rested before.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. We met on the road. He's a good person. Let's act together."
"Of course, you can take a good look at it. If you think it's a good candidate, you can go to Cangqiong Mountain."
Although Chen Xiu was young, he was a smart man. From just a few words, even though no one said much, he had guessed the general idea.
He looked at Chen Rui carefully, and when he saw his cultivation level of the late Jindan stage, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Cangqiong Mountain welcomes all like-minded Taoist friends. If Brother Chen is interested, you can take some time to visit Cangqiong Mountain after leaving the secret realm."
As the next leader who is certain to be succeeded, being able to say this is basically equivalent to giving Chen Rui a pass.
As long as he goes, there shouldn't be any problem, but the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
Afterwards, several people exchanged some information with Chen Xiu.
Only then did they realize that Chen Xiu did not come from the same direction as them. He just walked over here and heard voices, so he thought of coming over to take a look.
I didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet Chu Xinglan.
"Chen Xiu, have you seen other disciples from Cang Qiong Mountain? I just met a few of them at the foot of the mountain, and I haven't seen them since."
Although Chu Xinglan felt that the possibility was slim, he still asked with hope.
Chen Xiu became much more serious after hearing this, and just shook his head slightly.
"No, but I saw other disciples before I went up the mountain. Unfortunately, they stayed on the snowy plain."
Hearing this, the three of them felt a jolt in their hearts.
Although I had expected it, I still felt uncomfortable when I heard it. For a moment, the atmosphere was no longer as cheerful as before, but rather a little heavy.
However, Chu Xinglan soon put on a smile and said, "By the way, since we've met, let's go together from now on."
"We don't know what dangers are waiting for us ahead, so we have someone to look after us."
Everyone knew why he suddenly changed the subject, and a few people cooperated, and soon they started chatting and laughing again.
Suddenly, Chu Xinglan moved his nose, and the next second he frowned and blocked his nose with his fingers.
"What's that smell? It smells terrible."
The others came to their senses and moved their noses, but their sense of smell was not as sensitive as Chu Xinglan's. They didn't smell anything and looked at Chu Xinglan with confusion.
"Yes, it really is. It pricks your nose."
"Like...like..."
Chu Xinglan was still thinking about how to describe the smell when he saw Chen Xiu opposite him change his expression and a hint of fear in his eyes.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw that for some unknown reason, the thick snow on top of the snow-capped mountain suddenly began to melt rapidly, merging with the stream rushing down from above and rushing towards them with great momentum.
A layer of dark clouds appeared in the sky, like a thick haze that covered all the light in the sky.
Chu Xinglan reacted in an instant and realized what had happened.
Chen Rui's prediction came true. This snow mountain is really an active volcano, and judging from its current appearance, it is about to erupt!
"Fuck! Run!"
Chu Xinglan shouted loudly, instantly bringing several people back to their senses. They no longer cared about anything else and pushed their spiritual power to the extreme, then ran down the mountain at full speed.
However, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, especially when the snow mountain is so steep. Chu Xinglan, who was running in the front, suddenly found a black shadow passing by quickly and falling down the mountain.
He recognized that it was Chen Rui's clothes, and he quickly pulled it, but the huge force almost pulled him down. It was only when Chen Xiu pulled him from behind that he stabilized his body.
Chen Rui was still in shock and gasping for breath. In that situation just now, if Chu Xinglan hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have definitely died if he fell down like that.
Before he could even open his mouth to thank them, he pointed behind them in horror, "What...what is that?"
Chu Xinglan subconsciously looked back and saw that the stream behind him had become more than five times wider. The water, which should have been clear, was now pitch black.
Among them, you can see small triangular dorsal fins exposed above the water surface, leaving lines on the water surface as they swim quickly.
The next second, a black fish head as big as a basketball emerged from the water, jumped into the air, opened its mouth, revealing densely packed sharp teeth, flashing cold light in the air.
When the whole fish jumped out of the water, he was horrified to find that this strange fish had an identical head where the tail should have been.
Chu Xinglan: “!!!”
Chen Xiu and three others: "!!!"
At this moment, the air around them suddenly became scorching hot. If they did not have spiritual power to protect themselves, their clothes and hair would have turned to ashes in an instant.
Then, as they stared in shock, a thick column of orange-red lava shot up into the sky.
