Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Wang Xiao cleaned up the battlefield, collected the scattered magic crystals, and then had the spirit worm fill in the large pit created by the Blood Shadow Mantis, lest other Gu Masters passing by would see the problem.

Then, he returned to the Scorching Canyon and reunited with everyone!

He didn't tell anyone about destroying the Flame Demon Wolf, so as not to expose his strength!

After Li Nan and the others emptied the Flame Demon Wolf's nest of antlers, Wang Xiao summoned all his subordinates!

Coming out of the canyon, it could be seen that everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvest!

Everyone made a fortune again!

Gathering his subordinates together, Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Brothers, the harvest is not bad, right!"

"Thanks to the boss, the harvest is okay!"

Wang Xiao sighed: "Alas! You guys are having a great time picking up money, but I was chased up and down by the Flame Demon Wolf, almost caught several times. I'm risking my life to create benefits for you!"

This time, the subordinates were much more conscious. They immediately stepped forward and handed over half of their harvest to Wang Xiao.

Moreover, everyone was very honest and dared not underreport the data.

Because they had already witnessed Wang Xiao's surveillance methods in the Weavefire Forest.

They were afraid that if Wang Xiao discovered their underreporting, he wouldn't take them to make money anymore!

Therefore, even though Wang Xiao didn't use the system to monitor this time, no one dared to play tricks!

Wang Xiao collected the antlers from these subordinates, and then said to everyone: "Brothers, let's continue on the road to make a fortune!"

Everyone shouted together: "Let's go! Let's go!"

Wang Xiao nodded, the morale of the team was still good!

So, under his leadership, everyone continued to move forward!

The team traveled day and night for another three days, and was suddenly blocked by a large river!

This river was more than ten miles wide, but what flowed in the river was not water, but boiling lava!

The lava flowed, as if the earth was bleeding!

Wang Xiao swept it with the system and knew that although there were no flames coming out of the river, the temperature above the river was extremely high, and the higher up the river, the higher the temperature!

(Note: Similar to a steamer, the top layer has the highest temperature!)

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said to everyone: "I name this river 'Flameless River'!"

Everyone was no longer surprised by Wang Xiao's quirk of liking to name places.

The previous Weavefire Forest and Scorching Canyon were all names he came up with.

Immediately, a subordinate came to flatter him, saying that the boss's name was well chosen!

So, this river was called "Flameless River"!

Su Momo's face was a little pale, and bean-sized beads of sweat fell from her face.

She muttered: "I hate here, God, why is it so hot here!"

Su Momo's natal Gu is the Waxwork Worm, and she is most afraid of this high-temperature environment!

She grabbed Zhong Wuyan next to her: "Yanzi, come, help me cool down!"

Zhong Wuyan rolled her eyes and kicked Su Momo away!

Zhong Wuyan's natal Gu is the Cold Jade Cicada, so her body is always cold!

Su Momo always likes to hug her to cool down!

Wang Xiao also wanted to do this, but with Li Nan and Yan Ruoyun by his side, he didn't dare!

In fact, Zhong Wuyan was even more uncomfortable in such a high-temperature environment!

Her Cold Jade Cicada has been shrinking in her dantian recently, as if it has entered a dormant state!

Everyone was discussing how to cross the river, when a subordinate said: "What's there to consider? Are we going to swim across? Just fly over from above!"

Wang Xiao was speechless. Fly over? Are you tired of living too comfortably!

Just as he was about to explain to everyone, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Ding! A level 6 monster 'Giant Beak Bird' has been discovered 36 kilometers behind, and is approaching rapidly......"

"Ding! A level 6 monster 'Scarlet Wing Owl' has been discovered 37 kilometers behind, and is approaching rapidly......"

Wang Xiao quickly called everyone: "Everyone, gather! Flying monsters are coming! Ruoyun, release the illusion!"

Having been in the Land of Flames for so long, Wang Xiao's prestige had long been established!

No one dared not listen to him. Immediately, everyone gathered around him, and Yan Ruoyun immediately took action. A group of dancing light butterflies flew above everyone, and released an illusion, concealing everyone's whereabouts!

If it were ordinary level 6 monsters, as long as the number was not on a certain scale, Wang Xiao and others would not care at all.

However, since two flying monsters were coming, they had to hide!

Because flying monsters are extremely fast and mostly like to live in groups, once you provoke them, you will soon attract a large group of monsters to retaliate!

Therefore, when encountering flying monsters, Wang Xiao tries to avoid them as much as possible!

Before long, the roars of two monsters came! Everyone looked up and saw two strange big birds appearing in everyone's sight.

The strange bird in front had a huge beak and its whole body was covered in red feathers!

The big bird behind had no feathers on its body, and had fleshy wings like a bat. Every time its wings flapped, it could fan out clusters of flames!

They were both injured, and had obviously engaged in a fierce battle. The Giant Beak Bird that was escaping had lost, and was being chased by the Scarlet Wing Owl!

The Giant Beak Bird was running away in a panic, and was forced to fly over the Great River!

The Scarlet Wing Owl obviously knew the horror above the Great River, so it stopped on the bank of the river, screeched a few times, and did not continue to chase!

The Giant Beak Bird, which flew over the river, seemed to have just remembered the horror of this river. It turned around and was about to fly back, but it was too late. It suddenly let out a shrill scream, and a blazing white light appeared on its body, instantly turning into ashes. Only a few of the hardest bones suddenly burned and fell into the lava in the river, disappearing in an instant!

The Scarlet Wing Owl, which was still staying on the bank of the river, croaked a few times, and then turned around and flew back the way it came!

This scene was clearly seen by Wang Xiao and his party.

"Hiss...... How did that strange bird die just now?"

"I don't know, I didn't understand! There should be some kind of killing intent hidden above the river!"

While everyone was still discussing, Wang Xiao revealed the mystery: "If we want to cross the river, we must go over the surface of the river! Because the temperature above the river is very high, the higher you go, the higher the temperature! You have also seen the fate of the Giant Beak Bird just now. It was a level 6 monster, but it was directly vaporized by the high temperature above the river!"

"Hiss...... Is the temperature so high? Even a level 6 monster can be instantly vaporized!"

"Luckily we have the boss, if it were me, I would have flown over directly, and I would be dead!"

"The boss is so knowledgeable!"

"That's right, following the boss, we've learned so much!"

Tao Jun asked: "Wang Xiao, how should we cross the river?"

Wang Xiao said: "Cross the river? No, we won't cross the river for the time being!"

"Not crossing the river? Didn't you say that there are many valuable resources ahead?"

"That's right! There are many valuable resources ahead! But this river is not bad either! We will fish in this river for a while, and when the river's tide drops in a few days and the river surface narrows, it will be much easier for us to cross the river!"

"Fishing! Haha, Wang Xiao, you're not joking, are you? What kind of fish can survive in a lava river?"

Wang Xiao laughed loudly: "Don't believe it! I'm telling you, not only can you catch fish in this river, but you can also catch a kind of river clam that can produce 'Fire Opal Pearls'!"

"Fire Opal Pearls!"

As soon as they heard these three words, everyone was immediately moved!

Fire Opal Pearls are a rare kind of pearl, and are essential materials for refining some fire-type spirit Gu, so they are expensive!

Wang Lei became excited: "Fishing? Haha, I like fishing the most, I'm good at this!"

A subordinate asked: "But, the temperature in the river is so high, what do we use to fish?"

Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Didn't you collect a lot of Weavefire Silkworm cocoons? Draw a few cocoons, use the silk to make fishing lines, and use fire-resistant metal to make fish hooks, and you can fish! As for the bait, use spirit stones! The fish and clams here like things with spiritual energy!"

Wang Xiao's words awakened everyone, so a group of people began to make fishing gear!
