Chapter 1549: The Journey Is Tedious and Boring

Elder Yun said, "The underground world of Phoenix Ridge is intricate and complex. Every year, many adventurers and mercenaries risk their lives to enter Phoenix Ridge. They don't dare travel through the air, only daring to enter from underground."

"Listen to the rumbling beside your ears… countless volcanic craters are gathered here, with eruptions year-round. Many beast tamers, if unlucky, may very well be swept straight into the lava."

Su Yang sighed, "Elder Yun really is knowledgeable and well-experienced!"

Elder Yun laughed, "When I was young, I led a team here to Phoenix Ridge!"

Su Yang asked in confusion, "You'd enter even with divine beasts around?"

"Back then it was only legend that there was a phoenix in Phoenix Ridge; many people had never seen it with their own eyes!" Elder Yun explained, "That phoenix should be sleeping inside the volcano and won't appear often. Even if it does appear, it won't necessarily pay attention to a few beast tamers."

"Oh!"

While they were talking, Elder Long had already flown out of the cave entrance, out of the underground lava world.

Elder Yun and Su Yang followed him out flying, and what presented itself before Su Yang's eyes was an endless expanse of volcanic craters.

Many volcanoes were erupting, carrying rumbling roars.

Thick lava shot up into the sky, and black volcanic ash dyed the entire sky gray!

Elder Long continued flying upward, all the way up to the high sky.

"It really is Phoenix Ridge, no doubt about it!" Elder Long concluded, "It looks like this is that phoenix's old home. It seems like in recent years, it may have been staying put in Phoenix Ridge!"

Elder Yun also nodded: "Phoenix Ridge is big enough, and it's most familiar with this place. If it hides in here, they may not think of it. Even if they do think of it, it'll still take them some time to search."

In their conversation, they did not bring up the Extinction Phoenix and the Shenlongshang Alliance.

Regarding Su Yang, they were still holding something back.

Su Yang asked, "You want that phoenix?"

Elder Long and Elder Yun exchanged a look between themselves, and both saw resolve in each other's eyes.

At least judging from the Extinction Fire at the spatial rift, the Extinction Phoenix might still be staying in Phoenix Ridge.

If they could find the Extinction Phoenix before the Shenlongshang Society, they could obtain a divine-grade pet beast with extremely high potential.

They simply couldn't resist this temptation!

Elder Long: "Let's search!"

Elder Yun: "We must search."

"What about me, then?"

Su Yang pointed at himself.

Elder Long said with a solemn expression, "You follow Elder Yun, and we'll search together!"

Search together?

Su Yang was somewhat reluctant.

"General Su, just come search with us!" Elder Yun laughed, "If we find that phoenix, the Eight Treasures Studio will reward you handsomely!"

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, then still nodded.

Actually, even if he left now, there'd be nothing for him to do.

On the Federation side for now, they didn't need him to worry.

The Qingluan Kingdom had already negotiated peace, and the Eight Treasures Studio was cooperating, so for now it should be in a stable phase.

The only threat that existed might be the Shenlongshang Alliance.

But if the Shenlongshang Alliance wanted to enter the Water Blue Planet, they would need to pass through this spatial rift.

Su Yang squatting here was actually quite good.

"Fine!"

Elder Yun asked, "Elder Long, which direction are you going?"

Elder Long pointed south.

"Then we'll head north!" Elder Yun said, "Whoever finds it first gets to subdue it first!"

"Good!"

"Let's go, General Su, we'll go this way!"

Elder Yun grabbed Su Yang's hand and directly pulled him toward the north.

Elder Long saw Elder Yun's little trick, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he plunged straight into the underground lava world.

Anyone with half a brain could guess that the Extinction Phoenix fleeing pursuit couldn't be on the surface; it must be hiding inside one of the volcanic craters.

Su Yang, being pulled along by the hand by Elder Yun, also had a completely dumbfounded expression.

Elder Yun's appearance was indeed pretty, and her hand was also very soft.

But pulling his hand so naturally—what did that mean?
