The color of this outfit was also specially customized by Hu Xiaoxiao.

It has to be said that Hu Xiaoxiao was particularly suited to this outfit. She already had fair skin, and wearing it made her appear both tall and slender, with skin as white as snow, making her stand out in a crowd. Standing next to Hu Xiaoxiao, Emily looked like a little dwarf.

Emily noticed this too, and discreetly moved a few steps away from Hu Xiaoxiao. She had always been proud of her tanned skin, but now she felt no pride at all.

However, she can stay away from Hu Xiaoxiao now, but when it comes to filming, there will be many scenes of the two of them in the same frame, so she can't avoid it even if she wants to.

After director Edward yelled "Action!", the scenes depicting the Black Flame Mountain secret realm in "The Magic Contract" began.

Li Lin and an adventure team composed of several special forces members arrived at Black Flame Mountain in search of a branch of the Sun Tree that had fallen there.

On Black Flame Mountain, as far as the eye can see, everything is scorched black, with not a single blade of grass or tree in sight, and in the distance stands a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Giselle climbed a hillside and stood atop it, looking at the endless expanse of scorched black earth and the charred rocks scattered everywhere. She turned to Noah, who was climbing up behind her, and said, "Noah, are you sure there are trees here? We've been searching for days and haven't seen a single blade of grass, let alone a branch. You haven't gone the wrong way, have you?"

Noah walked up with two team members, followed by Li Lin.

He stood beside Giselle, also gazing at the endless expanse of scorched earth: "The professor's guidance is never wrong. If he says we can find a branch of the Sun Tree here, we definitely will. Giselle, have a little more patience."

“But we’ve been searching for days, Noah. There’s no water, no food, and we can’t hold out much longer,” Giselle said.

Another special forces soldier shook his water bottle and said, "Yes, Noah, we only have three days' worth of water and food. Even if we find that twig, we'll still need water and food on our way back."

Just as the small team was having disagreements, Li Lin came over. She took out her binoculars and looked around at the surrounding scenery, then took out three copper coins and tossed them into the air.

After the copper coin landed on the ground, Li Lin observed for a moment and said to everyone, "Don't be discouraged, we should be almost there. This scorched land was formed because the branches of the Sun Tree fell here. The branches of the Sun Tree should be in the very center of this mountain."

"The very center?" Noah gazed at the highest peak in the distance. "Could it be there?"

"Isn't that a volcanic crater?"

"Are you crazy? That volcano could erupt at any moment!"

"It hasn't erupted yet, has it?" Noah said calmly.

After some arguing, the group decided to fill their stomachs and then head towards the volcano for a bit of adventure.

On the hillside stood many huge charred rocks. The group, carrying water and bread, either leaned against the rocks or climbed up to sit on them. John gave Li Lin a sandwich and chatted with her casually. The two, a handsome man and a pretty woman, looked quite pleasing to the eye standing together.

Giselle, enraged by the sight, kicked the charred stone in frustration.

The rock, as tall as a person, shook a few times, but Giselle ignored it and kicked it again.

Jiao Shi suddenly stood up!

Jiao Shi, who was already standing there, has grown long legs!

Beneath the charred stone, there was a ring of legs like fish scales, wriggling densely.

Giselle was stunned by what she saw, clutching her head and screaming, "Oh my God! What is that?"

As Giselle screamed, all the charred rocks on the hillside began to stand up, revealing the countless scales hidden beneath. And they were turning their bodies, as if to face the crowd.

The charred stone rose higher and higher, and finally, everyone could see a head emerging from beneath its scaled feet. It had two tentacles on top, and at the tips of the tentacles were two enormous eyes staring at them. It possessed a mouth larger than a human head, inside which were two rows of file-like teeth.

"This is..." Li Lin was also stunned. "Is this a scaly-footed snail? No, this is a mutated scaly-footed giant snail! Run!"

Everyone knew that they should not linger here, so they all ran away as fast as they could.

However, the charred stones that had been ignored and disregarded before suddenly stood up, revealing their scales and giant teeth, and chased after the group.

Noah shouted for calm, and then several team members quickly formed a group, pulled out their pistols, and began shooting at the scaly giant snail.

However, the scaly giant snail has a hard shell, which is covered by a layer of solidified magma, making it impossible for bullets to penetrate.

Even its scales are incredibly hard; only its soft interior can be hit by a bullet and cause fatal damage.

But there were too many snails, and they were very cunning, shrinking their bodies into their shells, making it impossible for Noah and the others to inflict large-scale damage on them with their guns.

Countless scaly snails rushed towards them, and the group ran for their lives.

But more and more giant scaly snails surrounded them, and they had no way to escape.

Just as a giant snail opened its mouth wide and was about to bite down on Noah, Noah climbed onto the snail's shell in the nick of time, thus avoiding a fatal blow.

This unexpected turn of events led Noah to a solution to the crisis: "Quick! Climb onto the snail's shell!"

The snail's hard shell protects its soft body, preventing it from attacking humans hiding on its back, and its hard teeth cannot bite the humans on top.

The group finally averted the crisis, and even managed to lure the snails beneath them towards the volcano by throwing stones at them.

With the volcano in sight and no trace of scaly-footed snails nearby, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered for their ingenuity. At this moment—

Their arrival startled the red spiders living nearby. These red spiders had flame-like patterns on their backs, and each one was as tall as a person. The largest spider king was even as tall as a building, and each of them was cruel and easily angered.

Unable to deal with these brutal and deadly flame-patterned red spiders as they had with scaly-footed snails, they once again found themselves in grave danger.

They constantly dodged and fought back in perilous situations. With several special forces members seriously injured, Li Lin had no choice but to awaken the wizarding power within her.

"If this continues, we'll all die here," Li Lin said to Noah. "Hold off the spiders for a while, I need to awaken my wizarding powers to fight them!"

Noah struggled to fight back while shouting, "No! Your wizarding power is meant to be used to burn the magic contract and seal the spacetime rift! If you use too much, you won't be able to burn the magic contract and seal the rift!"

"If we all die here, we'll be even less likely to find the thing that burned the magic contract and the seal rift!" Li Lin made up her mind, put her hands together, and began to form hand seals.
