Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 186 - 126: Toad Balloon, Dreamscapes Flow into Real-World Magma!

Bronze Hall inside.

Bai Mo sat behind the desk, slowly reading the documents.

"The other materials are all fine, but the key is, we need a piece of Volcanic Smoke Sponge?"

Most modern sponges are petroleum chemical products.

The sponges from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty are a type of plant, named due to similar properties, but not actual sponges.

"There are fresh Ancient Immortal Dynasty sponges in the warehouse.

"The trouble is with this so-called... volcanic smoke?"

Four foxes carried a palanquin, carrying the master, "swish swish swish" down the mountain, through a wasteland, through two mountain ranges, and up to the peak of a small hill...

On the hilltop clearing, the palanquin was set down, Bai Mo stood up.

But here, there was no sign of a volcano anymore, just an ordinary mountain top square.

Whew...

A fierce wind blew past, not a single blade of grass grew, the land was cracked.

At the edge of the square, remnants of a workspace built by the Ancient Immortals long ago, and the huge bronze apparatus used to extract magma.

Above the square was a massive bronze structure similar to a gantry crane, and a suspended bronze platform.

It must have been an important alchemy tool for the Alchemy Dao Ancient Immortals back then, frequently used.

"The equipment is quite complete... but what a pity..."

Bai Mo and the apprentices walked towards the center of the square. Stepping over cracked volcanic rocks, they saw the former volcano mouth, now a deep, dark hole, as deep as a well.

Peach Blossom Eyes cautiously probed around the hole with a hind paw... stepped on it, and trod a few more times.

"Ouch!"

Cold!

Black Star sniffed hard, catching the scent in the air.

This volcano stuff should have a bit of sulfur smell, right?

But it furrowed its brows.

"Ouch!"

No smell!

White Tail grabbed a stone, tossed it into the pitch-black hole, then tilted its head, perked up its ears, waiting for an echo.

Waited a long time.

"Ouch!"

No echo!

Bai Mo twitched his mouth.

"Let's go, this damn volcano is history now.

"Maybe it erupted before, but as of today, who knows how many thousands of years it's been dead.

"Not even magma, let alone volcanic smoke and ash, even sulfur has vanished over time.

"We'd better think of other ways."

At the dining table, Bai Mo was munching on a meat bun, enjoying the air conditioning, while looking to search some news on his phone.

"That Fire Toad was drinking magma in the West Ridge Mountain Range.

"Does that mean there are active volcanoes in the West Ridge Mountain Range?"

Out of habit, Bai Mo opened the Immortal Discussion Forum, typed the keywords "West Ridge" and "volcano".

"Uh... can such news be found on the Immortal Discussion Forum?

"Will it be announced?"

Swipe...

Unexpectedly to Bai Mo, a row of messages appeared on the webpage!

At the top was a livestream.

[Committee Member Su Yaoyao Discovers Volcano in West Ridge Mountain Range]

Oh?

Bai Mo twitched his mouth.

How did it become Su Yaoyao discovered the volcano?

Wasn't it the Fire Toad and Zhang Qiunian who found it? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Clicked to enter the livestream.

Only to see the livestream scene, indeed in the mountain forest. From the camera, a bare hilltop in the distance could be seen, emitting faint black smoke. It must be the volcano.

The one occupying the c-position in the footage was Su Yaoyao, and her big Peacock Red Treasure.

Su Yaoyao was wearing a smart uniform, her hair in a bun, makeup immaculate, filled with confidence, eloquently speaking.

"... The flight ability of Red Treasure is very strong, which is just right for patrolling the forest.

"That day, Red Treasure carried me; we flew past the sky, saw this area of the forest emitting smoke!

"At first, we didn't think it was a volcano, we thought it was a forest fire.

"Red Treasure and I immediately descended from the sky..."

Watching the livestream, Bai Mo twitched his mouth.

This woman bragging even includes a plot? She even has details and expressions?

Then look at the bullet chat.

[Goddess 666]

[Not only can fight Immortal-related crimes, but also discover volcanoes in mountain ranges, truly a goddess]

[Red Treasure is really amazing; it can even fly over the forest]

[If not for Red Treasure, this volcano would have caused a disaster, right?]

Bai Mo smacked his lips.

With so many people praising, acknowledging, the peacock must have plenty of Immortal Qi added... if Su Yaoyao wants to cultivate by bragging, it might not be shabby.

Just, what's up with that yellow hat on Peacock Red Treasure's head?

Bai Mo controlled his phone, zoomed the livestream image, scrutinized the peacock's head. Only to find that what's atop it wasn't a hat... it was bright yellow, spiky, a durian shell!

What's its issue?

Why is it wearing a durian shell?

Too fond of the durian's smell?

Bai Mo didn't think much, continued watching the livestream.

But Su Yaoyao was already talking about the volcano development plan.

"... To Immortal Technique Masters, a volcano is a treasure.

"Lava, volcanic mud, volcanic ash, all have value.

"The committee will protect this volcano, and will develop it.

"So, focus! For those curious tourists, better not come, ha!"

The bullet chat went wild.

[Got it, listening to sis!]

[Sis is right hahaha]

[I was planning to go, but she called me 'baby'; I've decided to obey and not go]

Bai Mo exited the livestream, continued munching his meat bun.

Tiring of it, he picked a clove of garlic from the corner of the dining table, munching on garlic while eating.

"The committee wants to develop this volcano?

"What are they up to?"

Bai Mo pondered a bit, simply directly sent Su Yaoyao a private message.

[What's the committee planning to do with the volcano?]

No reply received. Su Yaoyao was busy bragging on the livestream, probably had no time to check her phone.
