Normally, Dugu Yifeng would take care of her. However, if he really met with danger today, Ling Yanran would definitely be his best helper.

This was also the main reason why Dugu Yifeng chose to bring her to the dangerous Scarlet Flame Desert even though Ling Yanran was only in the Houtian realm.

After Ling Yanran had erased all traces of her presence and covered up the area outside of the cave, Dugu Yifeng nodded in gratification and closed his eyes before falling asleep.

Ling Yanran looked at his face and gently embraced it. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The night passed, and the two of them woke up from their slumber.

The movement of Dugu Yifeng immediately roused Ling Yanran from her stupor.

Ling Yanran pushed Dugu Yifeng away with her face flushed red as if she had touched something that should not be touched.

To this, Dugu Yifeng simply laughed and didn't say anything.

A moment later, Dugu Yifeng gestured for Ling Yanran to straighten his body and let him sit up.

Ling Yanran immediately understood and understood that Dugu Yifeng was going to start meditating to heal his injuries. Approaching his side, she slowly righted Dugu Yifeng, allowing him to lean against the wall as before.

To be able to smoothly enter a meditative state, Dugu Yifeng felt much more relaxed.

Since yesterday, when he was heavily injured, the purple jade automatically circulated the purple gas within his body to help heal his injuries.

One night passed, and his injuries had already healed quite a bit. With this, the [Nine Heavens Roaming Technique] was activated and Dugu Yifeng immediately became alert.

Dugu Yifeng felt as if his body had been injected with some sort of heart-strengthening drug.

Ling Yanran, who was beside him, also noticed his state of mind and also smiled as she started to do her own thing.

After a few consecutive days, Dugu Yifeng was still meditating. His Universe Ring also had a lot of food stored inside, and Ling Yanran did not have to worry about food or clothing.

For the past few days, Ling Yanran had been guarding the cave. She did not go out. During these past few days, she had clearly detected all sorts of activity outside the cave. Even if she stayed deep inside the cave, she could clearly feel it.

It was as if the sky and the earth were being split apart, and the commotion outside the cave was extremely loud.

Angry roars mixed with overwhelming rage were venting crazily outside of the cave.

Ling Yanran was very worried, not that the cave she was in would collapse, but that Dugu Yifeng's recovery would be interrupted because of this.

She thought of many ways, such as directly waving her inner force to lift up the thick layer of earth on the ground, creating a door and blocking the inside of the cave, leaving only a vent.

As a result, the sound became much softer.

Gradually, Ling Yanran realized that something was wrong.

Temperature!

The entire space was almost completely sealed off, and the temperature of the small space that she and Dugu Yifeng were in suddenly rose.

As the temperature rose, Ling Yanran found it strange. What made her feel even weirder was that the temperature was still very cold even on the day she sealed off this space.

However, after one night passed, the temperature of this space had risen to a level that she could not endure.

What was going on outside? Ling Yanran was puzzled in her heart.

Previously, when she was outside, she was shivering from the cold.

And now, it was as if he had entered a volcano furnace. This change in temperature was a little too intense.

Just as Ling Yanran was wondering what was going on, Dugu Yifeng slowly woke up.

The first thing Ling Yanran noticed was the disturbance. She immediately rushed over joyfully, "Brother Yi Feng, are your injuries alright? This is great! "

The little girl's excitement was not concealed at all. Dugu Yifeng also smacked her forehead with a smile.

"It's been hard on you these past few days." Dugu Yifeng softly said as he pulled Ling Yanran into his embrace.

After she said this, the little girl's white face immediately blushed with shyness: "Without big brother Yi Feng, Yanran has only done what she should have done."

Dugu Yifeng petted the little girl's head cutely. This action almost made the little girl blush. Her entire body was covered by Dugu Yifeng's chest and she started acting like an ostrich.

"..."

A moment later, both of them stood up. Dugu Yifeng broke open the thick earth door in front of him with a single palm and walked out while holding onto Ling Yanran's small hand.

After exiting the cave, the two of them were shocked the moment they stepped out of the cave.

"This, this..." Dugu Yifeng looked around at the mountain peaks and the surging heat waves coming from the volcano. He suddenly felt as if he had arrived to another world.

Raising his head, he saw the sun high up in the sky, emitting endless heatwaves. It was as if the entire world was being roasted into a sea of fire.

"What is this place?" Dugu Yifeng was puzzled as he scanned his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense.

A few days ago, they were still in a dark, tree-surrounded valley. But now, they had come to such a place.

What exactly is this place?

"Big Brother Yi Feng!" Ling Yanran shook Dugu Yifeng's arm and then suddenly pointed to a certain place in front of them.

Dugu Yifeng was startled and immediately cast his gaze over.

At the end of his field of vision, he could vaguely see a towering volcano that was emitting jet-black smoke.

This is... Yellowstone volcano?

Dugu Yifeng was stunned. Even though they were separated by a great distance, he still recognized this volcano at first glance.

It was different from a few days ago. Today, black smoke was spewing out of the sky above the yellow mountain of fire stones. It seemed as if it was about to erupt at any moment.

"Big Brother Yi Feng, now we seem to have returned to the Scarlet Flame Desert." Ling Yanran spoke out her thoughts.

Dugu Yifeng nodded and said, "Mm, this is indeed the Scarlet Flame Desert. We have come out for no reason."

Truth be told, Dugu Yifeng was currently in a state of confusion. He had no idea what had happened.

Could it be that the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul was the core of that small space? Could it be that after he took away the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul, the small space collapsed?

Dugu Yifeng made wild guesses in his heart. Once this thought came out, he felt that he should have guessed a bit of the truth.

The purple jade was guiding him all the way to the cave. Even though the cave had the ice toad, which he could not afford to offend, the guidance from the purple jade had not changed in the slightest.

It was obvious that the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul was an important part of this small space.

The cold air in that small space was extremely cold. It was normal for the freezing air in that space to disappear into thin air after he retrieved the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul. However, Dugu Yifeng was still puzzled. Where did that giant toad go?

The ice toad lived in an extremely cold place. Right now, in the vast Scarlet Flame Desert, where should the ice toad go?
