Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

Three days later, Zhang Hao, Zhang Qilin, and Wu Tianzhen embarked on their journey to Changbai Mountain Volcano.

Along the way, they endured wind and rain, traversed dense forests, and climbed steep peaks, finally arriving at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

The Changbai Mountain in front of us looks like a giant lying across the earth.

The mountaintop was shrouded in thick clouds, shrouded in mist, mysterious and unpredictable.

At the foot of the mountain, black volcanic rocks piled up like mountains, resembling the remains of an ancient behemoth, exuding an aura of vicissitude and mystery.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, making it feel suffocating.

The three of them carefully climbed up the mountain path, and the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.

The wind howled, almost knocking them off their feet. Volcanic ash on the ground was whipped up by the wind, forming a thick layer of smoke that obscured their vision.

The mountain path is rugged and uneven, covered with sharp volcanic rocks. You have to be extra careful with every step, or you will get scratched.

"This Changbai Mountain volcano truly lives up to its reputation; I could already feel its danger even before I got close."

Wu Tianzhen frowned and said with difficulty.

His face was covered in volcanic ash, and sweat mixed with dust, making him look extremely disheveled.

Zhang Hao nodded, his expression grave, and said:

"Everyone be careful, there could be danger here at any moment."

His eyes scanned his surroundings warily, his hand gripping his weapon tightly, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

Zhang Qilin followed silently behind without saying a word, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, constantly watching the surrounding movements.

His steps were light and steady, as if unaffected by the harsh environment.

As they continued their ascent, suddenly a low roar came from ahead, like the furious howl of a demon from the depths of hell.

The three of them immediately stopped and watched the area ahead warily.

A group of figures slowly emerged from behind the volcanic rocks. They were tall and human-like, but surrounded by raging lava, as if they were demons born from fire.

Their eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, filled with a bloodthirsty desire.

"It's a volcanic ancient corpse!"

Zhang Hao's expression changed, and he shouted loudly. He had seen records of the ancient corpses of the volcano in ancient books and knew that they were extremely terrifying creatures with great strength and strange abilities.

As soon as these ancient volcanic corpses appeared, they immediately rushed towards the three of them. They were extremely fast and arrived in front of them in an instant.

One of the ancient corpses swung its arm, which was burning with magma, and slammed it down hard at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously forming hand seals. Golden Molten Gold True Flame erupted instantly, roaring like an angry dragon as it pounced on the volcanic ancient corpse.

Flames and magma collided, producing a sizzling sound and sending countless sparks flying.

Zhang Qilin also acted immediately. Holding the Black Gold Ancient Blade, he moved like lightning and instantly cut into the volcanic horde of ancient corpses.

The black gold ancient sword gleamed with a cold light, and every swing brought with it a storm of blood and gore.

The ancient volcanic corpses fell to the ground under his attack, but quickly stood up again, as if they were not in pain.

Wu Tianzhen, meanwhile, was looking for an opportunity. He held a dagger in his hand and stared intently at the weakness of the volcanic ancient corpse.

Whenever a Manggu Corpse reveals a weakness, he swiftly strikes, delivering a fatal blow.

However, there were too many ancient corpses in the volcano, and they kept coming from all directions, surrounding the three of them.

The pressure on the three of them increased, and they all suffered injuries to varying degrees.

"This can't go on; we must find a way to break through!"

While fending off the attacks of the volcanic ancient corpse, Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

His voice was tinged with anxiety, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Just then, Zhang Qilin suddenly spotted a gap and shouted:

"follow me!"

As he spoke, he rushed toward the gap, wielding his black gold ancient sword with incredible speed and skill, clearing a path for everyone.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen immediately followed.

The three of them fought their way through the horde of ancient corpses in the volcano and finally broke through the encirclement.

They dared not linger and continued running towards the mountaintop.

After running for a long time, they finally arrived at a relatively safe place.

Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.

"Oh no, it's a lava trap!"

Zhang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground cracked open, and streams of scorching magma gushed out from the fissures, forming a huge lava lake.

The three were trapped on a narrow rock, surrounded by scorching lava, the heat so intense it was almost impossible to breathe.

The lava churned and gurgled, sounding like hungry beasts ready to devour them at any moment.

"This is a problem, what should we do?"

Wu Tianzhen said anxiously, a hint of despair in his eyes.

In this desperate situation, he felt how insignificant his power was.

Zhang Hao frowned, quickly thinking of a solution. He looked around and noticed that although the surrounding lava was surging, there was one place where the lava flow was relatively slow.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately had an idea.

"I'll use the Molten Gold True Flame to block the lava. You guys take the opportunity to jump onto the rocks over there and then find a way out!"

Zhang Hao said loudly.

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, and the golden molten gold flames erupted once more, forming a golden barrier that kept the magma out.

Zhang Qilin and Wu Tianzhen nodded, took a deep breath, took a few steps, and jumped toward the rock.

Just as they jumped over, Zhang Hao quickly put away his Molten Gold True Flame and followed suit.

After the three of them gained a foothold on the rock, they immediately began looking for a way out.

They proceeded carefully along the rocks, avoiding dangerous lava flows.

As they walked, they suddenly discovered a cave ahead.

A faint red light flickered in the cave, as if it were hiding some secret.

"The Spirit of Fire is very likely inside."

Zhang Hao pointed to the cave and said.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes; he had finally found a place where the Fire Spirit might be hidden.

The three exchanged a glance, then headed towards the cave.

The cave was filled with a scorching heat, and lava flowed down the walls, making it seem like a fiery hell.
