A rare opportunity

Chapter 376 Crater

For a moment, Li Yu was filled with worry, his face turned pale, and sweat covered his whole body!

Mu Xue didn't think too much about it. She was surprised to see Li Yu in such a state! She thought Li Yu was injured and panicked! She rushed over and hugged him, choking with sobs:

"Brother! Brother! What's wrong with you? Brother..."

When Yu Dasheng saw this, his expression kept changing! He didn't know why Li Yu was like this, and he was ready to rush over and kill Li Yu with a palm. But in the end, he was a little scared, so he just dared to retreat quietly! So he turned around and ran!

However, he suddenly stopped after running a few steps, looking at Li Yu standing in front of him in astonishment! He was secretly glad that he did not rashly attack Li Yu!

"Tell me, where is the star vein of our planet?"

Li Yu's tone was calm, but there was no room for doubt!

"This... I don't know the exact location, but I heard it's under a volcano here."

Yu Dasheng replied.

"volcano?"

Li Yu looked at Mu Xue in confusion.

Mu Xue lowered her head in thought, then suddenly raised her head and said:

"Could it be the volcano outside the imperial city? Could the legend be true? Could it be that the so-called Heart of the Earth is the Star Vein? Even if it is true, doesn't it say that only the true Son of the Earth can obtain the Heart of the Earth? How can you take away the Star Vein?"

"Humph! How foolish! How can we possibly obtain the Star Vein without removing the seal?..."

Yu Dasheng couldn't help but mutter something, but when he saw Mu Xue glaring at him, he quickly stopped mumbling.

"Seal? What's going on?"

Li Yu asked anxiously after hearing this.

Yu Dasheng glanced at Mu Xue and said:

"The star veins of your planet have been sealed! You should know that the star veins of your planet are extremely powerful! Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here across billions of miles! Only by opening the seal can we take out the star veins!"

"Then how do we open the seal?"

Li Yu continued to ask.

"I'm not too sure about this! I just heard that the seal is a fire spirit seal. I think as long as we can subdue the fire spirit, the seal will be released by itself, right? Otherwise, why would Master Ruyan be asked to do it personally? He is one of the best fire control experts in our Broom Star!"

Yu Dasheng was very straightforward and told all his guesses.

Li Yu couldn't help but bow his head and think deeply! With his own strength, it was impossible to stop them! But it would be okay to make trouble on the side and prevent them from opening the seal, right? At least he could slow down their speed of opening the seal! But the group of people had already gone there for a long time, and time was urgent, so he had to rush to the volcano immediately!

Li Yu glanced at Yu Dasheng, not knowing what to do for a moment. He definitely couldn't let him go. Letting a tiger go back to the mountains would definitely cause endless troubles! Kill him? He couldn't do it himself! He immediately raised his hand to seal his acupuncture points and kicked him into the weeds. He thought: Life and death are determined by fate! Then he said to Mu Xue:

"Xue'er! Let's go!"

Mu Xue didn't even ask where they were going, she just nodded and said:

"Okay! Brother, wait a moment!"

She immediately ran into the weeds. Li Yu didn't know why, she just thought she had dropped something. But she heard a "puff!" sound and was shocked!

"Xue'er! Are you okay?"

He had already jumped up and rushed over!

At this moment, I heard Mu Xue laugh and say:

"Brother! I'm fine!"

Li Yu then realized that Mu Xue was walking towards him with a sword in hand and smiling! Drops of blood were dripping from the tip of the sword! When Li Yu saw this, he finally understood and couldn't help but sigh!

The two of them immediately rushed to the Imperial City! On the way, they saw corpses lying on the roadside from time to time, and all of these corpses were from the Imperial Guards, and there were even two eunuchs among them! Li Yu became even more anxious, worried that the group of people had already arrived at the Imperial City and entered the volcano!

The volcano is located on the west side of the imperial city and erupts every five hundred years. Only when the so-called Son of the Earth enters will the volcano go out. Otherwise, the hot magma will continue to erupt. Therefore, every five hundred years, the planet will find a Son of the Earth from each of the five continents, including Hongzhou, and let them enter the volcano. They say that they are asked to collect the Heart of the Earth, but in fact, they are just sacrificed to the volcano!

When they arrived at the foot of the volcano, they found from afar that there were already more than a dozen figures standing on the volcano. Li Yu swept his mind and found that those people were the monks from the Golden Broom Star! They were scattered around the crater, with their backs to the crater, and nervously looking down the mountain.

Li Yu thought: It's bad! Someone has entered the volcano! His mind went down the crater to find out what was going on. But he found that the crater was like being covered by an invisible lid. He tried every possible way, but couldn't get his mind in!

Li Yu couldn't help but feel anxious! He had to stop them immediately! Otherwise, the entire planet would cease to exist! He was about to rush over, but he caught a glimpse of Mu Xue lying next to him! He knew that as long as he rushed over, Mu Xue would definitely follow him! This trip was dangerous, and he had already reported his death! But he couldn't bear to let Mu Xue die with him!

He pointed at one point! Mu Xue immediately froze in place! Li Yu didn't even look at her flaming eyes, but held her far away from the volcano, found a cave to put her away, and then said modestly:

"Xue'er! I'm sorry! I have to stop them from stealing our star veins! This trip is very dangerous, I can't let you take the risk with me! I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation!"

After saying that, he resolutely turned around and quickly walked out of the cave, heading towards the crater!

Although there were few of them, all of them were extraordinary! His eyes wandered and his mind swept around! Although Li Yu was very careful, he was finally discovered about ten feet away from the mountain pass!

"Who? Stop right there!"

Hearing the other party's shout, Li Yu knew that he had been exposed! There was no point in hiding any longer! He immediately stood up and said in a panic:

"The woodcutter! The woodcutter! I'm leaving now! I'm leaving now?"

The man couldn't help but frown! There wasn't even a tree on this bare mountain, what kind of firewood could he chop? He immediately shouted at Li Yu who was trying to escape:

"Stop right there! Who are you? Come over here..."

He rushed to Li Yu's side while shouting, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Yu's shoulder! But he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his voice stopped abruptly!

It turned out that Li Yu had been prepared and was waiting for him to come! The moment he made his move, the dog-beating stick, which had become the size of an embroidery needle, silently pierced his acupuncture points under the control of his mind!

The other two people nearby seemed to feel something was wrong and immediately shouted:

"Old Mu! What's wrong with you?"

Not only did they not get an answer from Lao Mu, they also saw a figure rushing towards the crater as fast as a meteor!
