Chapter 234 Fire Kirin Becomes a Mount

Waves of heat from the crater came in waves, and the aroma of barbecue wafted in the air.

Chen Yu looked at the Fire Kirin in front of him with its lowered brows and pleasing appearance, and his heart was filled with pride.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Chen Yu stuffed the last piece of beef into his mouth and asked Huo Qilin vaguely.

The Fire Qilin licked its lips, as if still savoring the taste of the barbecue. It nodded and let out a low growl in its throat, as if responding to Chen Yu.

"Haha, as long as you like it." Chen Yu patted Huo Qilin's head, "Follow me, and I guarantee you'll have meat every meal."

The Fire Kirin narrowed his eyes, seeming to be very satisfied with Chen Yu's promise.

"Chen Yu, are you really planning to take it as a mount?" Lin Qingxue asked worriedly, looking at the huge beast in front of her.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Yu turned to look at Lin Qingxue, his eyes full of confusion.

"But... it's so big, how can we ride it?" Lin Qingxue pointed at the Fire Kirin's broad back, then pointed at herself, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Chen Yu followed Lin Qingxue's gaze and realized that the Fire Qilin was indeed too tall. Not to mention Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan, even the Bull Demon would have a hard time climbing up.

"Uh...this..." Chen Yu scratched his head, speechless for a moment.

"Haha, what's so difficult about this?" Liu Ruyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed out loud. She walked in front of Huo Qilin, stretched out her delicate hand, and gently stroked Huo Qilin's head, "Little guy, can you become a little smaller?

Sister, I don’t want to fall off while riding you.”

Liu Ruyan's voice was gentle and pleasant, as if it carried a magical power. The Fire Kirin actually understood what she meant. It growled, and its body began to shrink slowly. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of an ordinary horse.

"Wow! How magical!" Lin Qingxue exclaimed, her eyes full of surprise.

"How is it? Can I ride it now?" Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yu with a smile.

"Yes, yes, of course." Chen Yu nodded repeatedly. He walked forward, turned over and rode on the back of the Fire Kirin, then reached out and pulled Lin Qingxue up, letting her sit behind him.

"Ruyan, come up too." Chen Yu said to Liu Ruyan who was standing beside him.

"Okay!" Liu Ruyan responded, jumped up, and landed lightly behind Chen Yu.

"Brother Niu, Bai Gu, what about you?" Chen Yu turned his head to look at the Bull Demon and Bai Gu Jing.

"Forget it. I'm still used to walking on my own two legs."

The Bull Demon shook his head and rejected Chen Yu's kindness.

"I... I don't know how to ride a horse..." Bai Gu Jing said timidly.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Chen Yu said, reaching out to pull Bai Gu Jing onto the back of the Fire Qilin and letting her sit in front of him.

"Hold on tight, let's go!" Chen Yu gave an order, and the Fire Kirin spread out its four hooves and ran towards the depths of the Flame Mountain.

"Roar!" The Fire Kirin ran at an extremely fast speed, with the wind whistling in their ears. Chen Yu and others held on to the Fire Kirin's mane tightly, fearing that they would be thrown off.

"Little guy, slow down, we are not in a hurry." Chen Yu said as he turned his head to look around.

Deep in the Flaming Mountain, the temperature is even higher, the air is filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, and the ground is covered with boiling magma and steaming craters.

"Chen Yu, do you feel that this Fire Qilin seems to be taking us on a shortcut?"

Lin Qingxue suddenly spoke.

"Shortcut? You mean..." Chen Yu suddenly remembered that when they were on the outskirts of Flame Mountain, they had taken a lot of detours, but now, the road that Fire Kirin took them on was obviously much smoother.

"Could it be that this Fire Qilin knows how to enter the ancient ruins?" Chen Yu wondered secretly in his heart.

"Roar!" The Fire Kirin suddenly stopped and roared at a crater in front of it where magma was boiling.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked puzzledly.

"It seems... there is something inside..." Lin Qingxue pointed at the crater and said nervously.

Chen Yu looked in the direction of Lin Qingxue's finger, and saw that in the depths of the crater, magma was rolling and flames were shooting into the sky. A red object could be vaguely seen floating in it.

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Yu patted the Fire Qilin's neck, signaling it to move on.

The Fire Qilin growled and cautiously approached the crater. Then it stretched out its front hooves and gently pushed aside the lava, revealing the red object.

It was a red stone box with complex runes carved on the surface, emitting a faint fire-attributed aura.

"What...what is this?" Bai Gu Jing asked curiously.

"I don't know. Let's open it and we'll know." Chen Yu said, jumping off the back of the Fire Kirin, walking to the edge of the crater, and reaching out to take the stone box.

"Chen Yu, be careful!" Lin Qingxue saw this and quickly reminded him.

"It's okay, I have a super fire extinguisher." Chen Yu said with a smile. He took out the super fire extinguisher from the rag bag and sprayed it at the crater a few times to cool and solidify the surrounding magma. Then he reached out and took out the stone box.

The stone box felt warm to the touch and its surface was as smooth as jade. Chen Yu observed it carefully and found that the stone box was not locked. He pushed it gently and the stone box opened.

Inside the stone box, there is a fiery red scale, shaped like a dragon scale, emitting a powerful fire-attributed aura.

"What is this?" Chen Yu picked up the scale and looked at it carefully.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the fragments of the ancient artifact 'Fire God Pearl'!"

The system prompt sounded suddenly.

"The Fire God Pearl? An ancient artifact?" Chen Yu was shocked and quickly checked the system instructions.

"The Fire Pearl is the natal magic weapon of the ancient Fire God Zhurong. It possesses the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas. There are five fragments scattered around the world. Gather all five fragments to form the complete Fire Pearl."

"So that's how it is!" Chen Yu suddenly realized that it seemed that this trip to the Flaming Mountain was not in vain.

"Chen Yu, what did you find?" Lin Qingxue asked curiously.

"Hehe, a secret." Chen Yu smiled mysteriously and put the scales into the rag bag. "Let's go to the next dangerous place."

"The next dangerous place? Where are we going?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"According to the records on the stone tablet, to enter the ancient ruins, one must collect five ancient artifacts. The clues to these five artifacts are hidden in five different dangerous places."

Chen Yu explained, "We have now found the fragments of the Fire God Pearl. Next, we need to look for clues to the second artifact."

"Then let's go quickly!" Lin Qingxue said impatiently.

"Alright!" Chen Yu turned around and rode on the Fire Qilin, calling everyone to mount their horses, "Xiao Huo, let's go!"

The Fire Kirin roared and quickly left the Flame Mountain carrying Chen Yu and others.

Chen Yu rode the Fire Kirin while interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Everyone, did you see that? I just found a fragment of an ancient artifact deep in the Flame Mountain, the Lihuo Divine Pearl!

"How is it, isn't it powerful?" Chen Yu said proudly.

"666! The anchor is awesome!"

"Host, what's the use of this Lihuo Divine Pearl?"

"Host, can you show me the power of the Fire God Pearl?"

The audience in the live broadcast room gave gifts one after another to express their amazement and curiosity.

"As for the power of the Fire God Pearl... I can't tell you now. I'll show it to you when I have the chance."

Chen Yu kept the topic a secret. "Now, we are heading to the next dangerous place - the Ice and Snow Kingdom. It is said that there are thousands of miles of ice there, and the wind is biting. It is an extremely dangerous place."

"Ice Kingdom? Sounds so cold!"

"Host, you're going to the Ice and Snow Kingdom? Then you better wear more clothes!"

"Anchor, did you bring thermal underwear?"

The audience in the live broadcast room reminded Chen Yu to keep warm.

"Don't worry, my friends. I've prepared all kinds of warming tools. I guarantee I won't get cold."

Chen Yu said with a smile. He took out a thick down jacket, a thermal underwear, and a bunch of hot packs from the rag bag. "How about it, my equipment is complete, right?"

"Haha, the host needs to be fully armed!"

"Anchor, are you going on an Arctic expedition?"

The audience in the live broadcast room were all amused by Chen Yu's actions.

While chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, Chen Yu rode the Fire Kirin towards the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Along the way, they encountered many strange creatures, including a hedgehog monster covered with spikes, a lizard monster that could breathe fire, and a chameleon monster that could turn invisible...

When these monsters saw the Fire Kirin, they were so scared that they fled and did not dare to get close.

Chen Yu rode on the Fire Qilin and had a smooth journey, and soon arrived at the edge of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Looking from afar, I saw a vast white world. There was silence between heaven and earth, with only the whistling cold wind echoing in my ears.
