In an instant, a cold and menacing aura rushed towards them.
一只只双翅展开，全身羽翼血红，覆盖着火焰的猎鹰灵兽，飞驰而出，散落在四人上下位置。
Hunting falcon spirit beasts with their wings spread wide, their entire bodies covered in blood-red feathers and flames, soared out and landed above and below the four of them.
双翅扇动之间，冷冽风刃，破空而来。
As their wings flapped, chilling wind blades sliced through the air.
那风刃快到达四人面前，突然燃烧起熊熊烈火。
Just as the wind blades were about to reach the four of them, they suddenly burst into blazing flames.
叶无双眼疾手快，连连斩出四剑。
Ye Wushuang was quick of eye and deft of hand. He swiftly swung his sword four times in succession.
铿铿铿……
Clang, clang, clang…
四道霸道剑气，抵挡在四人身前，挡住第一波风刃的攻击。
Four domineering sword qi surged in front of the four of them, fending off the first wave of attacks from the wind blades.
“小心点。”
“Be careful.”
紧接着，又是一场恶战。
Then, another fierce battle ensued.
数十只火属性猎鹰，攻击速度极快，火焰之气浓郁……
Dozens of fire attribute hunting falcons attacked with extremely high speed, and the aura of flames was extremely thick…
这次，足足过去接近半个时辰，四人方才解决完这些猎鹰灵兽。
This time, it took nearly half an hour for the four of them to deal with these hunting falcon spirit beasts.
可这次下来。
However, this time.
桓天心，徐子骞，梁思蕊三人，都是受了不同程度的伤。
Huan Tianxin, Xu Ziqian, and Liang Sierui were all injured to varying degrees.
三人靠在石壁阶梯位置，吞服灵丹，涂抹灵液疗伤。
The three of them leaned against the stone wall by the steps, swallowed spiritual pills, and applied spiritual liquid to treat their wounds.
叶无双站在最前方，看着下方。
Ye Wushuang stood at the front, gazing downwards.
“我所猜测不假的话，下面可能是一道地火……”
“If my guess is correct, there might be an underground fire below…”
地火！
Underground fire!
桓天心，徐子骞，梁思蕊都是看向叶无双。
Huan Tianxin, Xu Ziqian, and Liang Sierui all looked at Ye Wushuang.
“而且，应该是不弱的地火！”
“Moreover, it should be a rather powerful underground fire!”
叶无双看向三人，道:“你们跟我一起的话，接下来，可能难以扛过去，我也无法分心照顾你们……”
Ye Wushuang looked at the three of them and said, “If you come with me, it might be difficult for you to endure what comes next, and I won’t be able to spare the energy to take care of you…”
听到这话，三人各自看着自己伤势，心中也是明了。
Upon hearing these words, the three of them looked at their own injuries and understood in their hearts.
徐子骞这时大大方方道:“我们先上去吧，待会越凶险，你无暇顾及我们三人，反而是大家都落入险境……”
Xu Ziqian then said openly, “Let’s go up first. The more dangerous it gets later, if you don’t have the time to take care of the three of us, we’ll all be in danger…”
刚才和那些猎鹰交手，叶无双分出大半精力心神，帮三人抵抗，若非如此，可能三人已经出现重伤者了。
When they fought against those hunting falcons just now, Ye Wushuang dedicated most of his energy and concentration to helping the three of them resist. Otherwise, one of the three might have been severely injured.
“也对。”
“That’s right.”
桓天心洒脱道:“叶老弟，那接下来，你自己小心，若是事不可为，不要勉强，至宝虽好，可活着更好。”
Huan Tianxin said freely, “Brother Ye, from now on, be careful. If it’s not possible to achieve what you want, don’t force it. Although the supreme treasure is good, it’s better to stay alive.”
叶无双点点头。
Ye Wushuang nodded.
三人转身便是准备离去。
The three of them turned around and were about to leave.
叶无双看着三人背影，微微一笑道:“谢谢你们了。”
Ye Wushuang looked at their backs and smiled faintly, saying, “Thank you all.”
其实，桓天心，徐子骞，梁思蕊三人与他一道下来，并非是贪图什么至宝。
In fact, Huan Tianxin, Xu Ziqian, and Liang Sierui didn’t come down with him out of greed for any supreme treasure.
三人也是想帮一帮他。
The three of them also wanted to give him a hand.
而今觉得帮不到他了，毫不迟疑，说走就走。
Now that they felt they couldn’t help him anymore, they didn’t hesitate and left immediately.
若是为了至宝，三人不会这般坚定的说退就退。
If it were for the supreme treasure, the three of them wouldn’t have been so determined to retreat.
听到这话，三人笑了笑，挥挥手，彻底离去。
Upon hearing this, the three of them smiled, waved their hands, and left completely.
叶无双呼了口气，手持天衍剑，沿着阶梯，速度骤然加快。
Ye Wushuang let out a sigh, held the Tianyan Sword in his hand, and along the steps, his speed suddenly increased.
一个人行动，无所顾忌，他也能够更加得心应手了。
Acting alone without any scruples, he was able to handle things more skillfully.
一转眼，又是半个时辰时间过去。
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed.
桓天心，徐子骞，梁思蕊三人返回到地面。
Huan Tianxin, Xu Ziqian, and Liang Sierui returned to the ground.
看到三人出现，众人一脸惊愕。
When the others saw the three of them, they were all stunned.
“叶无双呢？”
“Where’s Ye Wushuang?”
“他还在下面！”桓天心笑道:“下面……太危险了，我们三人支撑不住，率先上来了。”
“He’s still down there!” Huan Tianxin smiled and said, “It’s… too dangerous down there. The three of us couldn’t hold on and came up first.”
“嗯，而且继续闯下去，我们三人，反而是会拖累叶无双……”
“Hmm, and if we continued to press on, the three of us would only hold Ye Wushuang back…”
袁天纵，秦暮羽等人听到这话，目光骇然的看着坑洞。
Yuan Tianzong, Qin Muyu, and the others were shocked and stared at the pit.
到底是什么危险，让这三位都无力继续闯入！
What kind of danger was it that even these three couldn’t continue to break through!
可叶无双孤身一人，却是继续深入了。
However, Ye Wushuang, all by himself, continued to go deeper.
……
坑洞内。
Inside the pit.
叶无双身影已经再度下降三百丈。
Ye Wushuang’s figure had descended another three hundred zhang.
沿途，又遇到了四次不同的火兽攻击。
Along the way, he encountered four different attacks from fire beasts.
即便是他，也是受了一些伤。
Even he had suffered some injuries.
此刻，天衍剑紧握手中，周身万法之力鼓动涌荡到极致。
At this moment, he tightly gripped the Tianyan Sword in his hand, and the power of all methods around his body surged to its limit.
这时的叶无双，已经是到达坑洞底部。
At this time, Ye Wushuang had reached the bottom of the pit.
脚下大地，是泛着火红色的岩石，滚烫灼人。
The ground beneath his feet was covered with fiery-red rocks that were scorching hot.
哪怕叶无双本身万法之力融合火属性，此刻万法之力包裹自身，也感觉到燥热无比。
Even though Ye Wushuang’s power of all methods had integrated the fire attribute, and his body was enveloped by the power of all methods at this moment, he still felt extremely hot and restless.
若非是他先前曾融合一道地火，这时恐怕已经撑不住了。
If he hadn’t integrated an underground fire before, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on by now.
坑洞底部，火红一片。
The bottom of the pit was a sea of fiery red.
虽未见到火焰，可火焰灼烧的炙热感，却是无处不在。
Although there were no visible flames, the scorching heat of the fire was everywhere.
坑洞一方，有着一条通道，那内部，隐隐间有着极为炙热的气息，似一呼一吸般，颇有规律的传动。
On one side of the pit, there was a passage. Inside, there was a faintly extremely hot aura, which seemed to be transmitted in a regular rhythm, just like breathing.
一步一步朝着通道内而去。
He walked into the passage step by step.
走入通道深处，入眼处，豁然开朗。
As he walked deeper into the passage, his view suddenly widened.
这里是一片地心世界般。
It was like a world at the center of the earth.
周遭放眼看去，尽皆是闪烁着火光，凝聚着火纹的巨石。
Looking around, there were only huge rocks that glowed with firelight and had fire patterns condensed on them.
那些巨石四散开来。
Those huge rocks were scattered around.
而在正前方位置，出现一道深坑。
And directly in front of him, there was a deep pit.
深坑之中，滚滚火焰，翻腾起恐怖的气泡。
In the deep pit, billowing flames churned up terrifying bubbles.
叶无双神色一滞。
Ye Wushuang’s expression froze.
倒不是那火坑让叶无双惊叹。
It wasn’t the fire pit that astonished Ye Wushuang.
而是在火坑内侧位置，石壁夹缝间，有着三株花朵，静静绽放。
Rather, on the inner side of the fire pit, between the cracks in the stone wall, there were three flowers quietly blooming.
三株花蕊，形似莲花一般，莲叶，莲茎，莲台，处处看起来，都是娇艳欲滴的火红色。
The three flower stamens were shaped like lotus flowers. The lotus leaves, lotus stems, and lotus platforms all looked exquisitely beautiful in a fiery red color, as if they were about to drip with moisture.
每一株莲花莲台上，都有着淡淡的莲子。
On each lotus platform, there were faint lotus seeds.
莲子，亦是火红色，像极了一颗颗火云石一样，通体透彻，不含一丝杂质。
The lotus seeds were also fiery red, just like pieces of fire cloud stones. They were completely transparent and contained not a single trace of impurity.
“合道火云莲！”
“The Harmony Dao Fire Cloud Lotus!”
叶无双目光看去，带着几分惊叹。
Ye Wushuang looked at it with a hint of amazement.
合道火云莲，是一种丝毫不差于不死扶桑树的神奇灵花。
The Harmony Dao Fire Cloud Lotus is a miraculous spiritual flower that is in no way inferior to the Immortal Mulberry Tree.
这种灵花，无法栽种，而是天地所生，天地所养。
This kind of spiritual flower cannot be planted. It is born and nurtured by heaven and earth.
此物，只生存在纯粹的火焰之地边，靠着汲取纯粹的炎气成长。
This thing only exists on the edge of a place filled with pure flames and grows by absorbing pure fiery qi.
这合道火云莲，莲茎，莲叶，莲子，皆是具备神效。
For the Harmony Dao Fire Cloud Lotus, its lotus stem, lotus leaves, and lotus seeds all have miraculous effects.
可用来炼丹。
It can be used to refine pills.
也可以直接融合吞服。
It can also be directly integrated and swallowed.
尤其是莲子……
Especially the lotus seeds…
祛毒！
It can expel toxins!
驱寒！
It can dispel cold!
提气！
It can boost qi!
养神！
It can nourish the spirit!
可以说具备着各种各样神奇的特效。
It can be said to have a variety of miraculous effects.
就这一株合道火云莲，哪怕是至尊灵器，至尊灵诀，也比不过其价值！
Just this single Harmony Dao Fire Cloud Lotus is more valuable than even the Supreme Spiritual Artifact or the Supreme Spiritual Technique!
叶无双一步步走到火池前，距离十丈位置，那炙热的气息，便是让叶无双无法再寸进一步。
Ye Wushuang walked step by step towards the fire pool. When he was ten zhang away, the scorching heat prevented him from moving even an inch further.
这……确实是地火的恐怖炎气。
This… was indeed the terrifying fiery qi of the underground fire.
当叶无双的气息，逼近火池，火池内滚烫的气泡，越发浓密，越发的躁动。
When Ye Wushuang’s aura approached the fire pool, the boiling bubbles in the fire pool became denser and more restless.
突然一刻。
Suddenly.
哗啦啦……
Whoosh…
火浆在这时爆开。
The fire magma burst open at this moment.
叶无双身躯猛然倒退。
Ye Wushuang’s body abruptly retreated.
