Half a day later.
Xu Yang arrived outside the volcano where the Red Fire Flood Dragon resided.
The volcano was utterly quiet within, yet still shrouded by the same terrifying, violent presence as when he'd last come.
Xu Yang carried Tuoba Hongyu and darted into the volcano's depths.
The Red Fire Flood Dragon still coiled amid the searing, fearsome river of magma. As it sensed Xu Yang's approach, it slowly opened its eyes.
Roar!
A hint of joy flashed in its eyes, and it let out a low, benevolent rumble towards Xu Yang.
Xu Yang smiled, swiftly dropping down and nodded at the Red Fire Flood Dragon, saying, "I'll have to trouble you once again, Senior."
Though the Red Fire Flood Dragon was a mystical beast, it had awakened its spirit; its intelligence was not low!
Xu Yang never regarded it as a mere wild beast!
He gently laid Tuoba Hongyu down, carefully checked her condition, and his expression grew somber.
