My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 317 - 314: Arriving at the Volcano

"I hate!"

The rhino looked up to the sky and let out a long cry, "I hate myself for being so stupid! You deceived me so easily! I detest myself!!!"

"Enough, stop your ghastly wailing," Gao Fei kicked the rhino, "Let's talk about something important. Just make these Ferocious Beasts back off and promise they won't bother me again in the future, and I'll spare your life."

"And if I refuse?" the rhino said through gritted teeth.

"Then you'll just have to become a dead cow," Gao Fei said. "I'll kill you, skin you, chop you up, and cook you." As he said this, Gao Fei smacked his lips, "The taste must be pretty good, I bet."

The rhino shuddered, "My meat is tough, it doesn't taste good."

"I just like meat that's a bit tougher."

"My meat smells foul."

"That's alright, I'll just wash it a few more times. If that doesn't work, I'll add some seasoning."

"..."

"You have two choices," Gao Fei said. "First, make all the Ferocious Beasts back off, and I'll spare your life. Second, I slaughter you, then go on a killing spree, wiping out all these beasts. Make your choice."

The rhino considered for only a second before making up his mind, "All of you back off! Without my command, you're not allowed to bother this person again!"

"Roar!!!!"

The many Ferocious Beasts roared loudly, venting their dissatisfaction.

"What? My words don't carry weight anymore?" the rhino bellowed anxiously, "Don't forget, I'm the new Beast King you chose, you must all follow my orders!" Pausing, the rhino continued, "You all took an oath, if you don't listen to me, you'll all be struck by lightning!"

"Roar!!!!"

The roars of the beasts grew louder, vibrating the ground.

After several roars, the Ferocious Beasts gradually left.

"They're all gone," the rhino said. "Can I leave now?"

"I didn't notice," Gao Fei grinned, "You're quite commanding; they all listened to you. Alright, impressive."

"Don't worry, they won't bother you again," the rhino said. "Can I go now?"

"Not yet," Gao Fei shook his head.

"You're cheating!" the rhino became frantic, "You can't do this!"

"Where am I cheating?" Gao Fei laughed, "This is what I said... As long as you make those Ferocious Beasts back off, I'll spare your life... Listen carefully, I just said I'd spare your life, I didn't say I'd let you go."

The rhino became enraged, "You're playing me!"

"Calm down, don't get heated, don't be angry," Gao Fei gestured with his hands, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm keeping you by my side just in case. Once I leave Beast King Valley, I'll let you go. I keep my word."

"Hmph," the rhino snorted heavily.

"You, come out of hiding! I've seen you already!" Gao Fei barked, "Roll over here before I lose my temper!"

A monkey crept out from behind a large rock, trembling as it approached, "I wasn't hiding! I was just tired and looking for a place to rest."

"Do you take me for a fool?" Gao Fei scoffed, "When I attacked this rhino just now, you were the one yelling to warn it, weren't you?"

"No," the monkey shook its head vigorously, "You must've heard wrong, I didn't yell."

Thump!

Gao Fei kicked the monkey over and cursed, "You think you can fool around in front of me? You're really asking for it!" With that, Gao Fei kicked the monkey several more times.

"Stop kicking, stop!" the monkey began to beg for mercy, "I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

"You stinking monkey, listen well. If you try any tricks with me again, I'll kill you on the spot."

"Yes, yes, I absolutely won't dare," the monkey agreed.

"Stand up, lead the way. And you, rhino, come with me too. Let me make one thing clear, both of you had better behave. If you try any funny business, I'll make your deaths miserable."

...

The monkey walked ahead while Gao Fei rode on the rhino behind.

"Can you get off," the rhino huffed and puffed, "I'm a king after all. If the other Ferocious Beasts see you riding me, they'll laugh at me."

"You talk too much."

"I..."

"If you speak more nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"

"..." The rhinoceros shut its mouth and cursed Gao Fei in its heart.

...

Two days later.

The monkey stopped and pointed ahead with its claw, "There, the volcano is right in front of us."

Gao Fei looked up and indeed saw a large mountain standing hundreds of meters away, where he could faintly make out a hole at the top of the volcano... It was unmistakably a volcano.

"Snap!"

Gao Fei slapped the rhinoceros, "Let's go, head towards the volcano."

The rhinoceros trudged forward in silence, already subdued by Gao Fei and not daring to resist.

The monkey hopped and skipped ahead, leading the way, while the rhinoceros carried Gao Fei and followed behind.

As they got closer to the volcano, Gao Fei's excitement grew more and more intense.

Where there's a volcano, there is Earth Vein Fire, and with Earth Vein Fire, there was a great hope of removing the poison from his body, thus saving his life.

"Can I ask something?" queried the monkey.

"Go ahead," Gao Fei waved his hand.

"What do you need the volcano for?"

"What do you think?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you."

"Sorry, but I can't tell you because it involves my secret."

"Forget it then, I didn't even feel like asking."

...

Throughout the whole journey, the rhinoceros did not say a word.

After a short while, the man and two beasts reached the mountaintop.

Gao Fei leaned over to look down, seeing nothing but pitch-black darkness. At that moment, he activated his Clairvoyance, and the interior of the volcano immediately became clear. After observing for a long time, he frowned.

This was indeed a dead volcano; its interior was silent and lifeless, without a spark of Mars to be seen.

No fire, how then to detoxify?

"Descend first and take a look," Xuan Jizi's voice came to his mind, "maybe there's a hidden fire source below."

Gao Fei nodded, accepting Xuan Jizi's suggestion. He turned to the monkey and rhinoceros, "You two, go down."

"Ah?" The monkey was stunned.

So was the rhinoceros.

"What's this 'Ah'? Can't understand what I'm saying? Hurry up and get down there!"

"What about you?"

"I'm going down too!"

Under Gao Fei's coercion, the monkey and the rhinoceros reluctantly jumped down. Gao Fei followed closely behind and leaped into the volcano.

As they descended, Gao Fei noticed the Stone Wall around them bore signs of scorching, faint marks that could easily be missed if one wasn't paying attention. Moreover, the marks were old, suggesting that the walls had been scorched by fire a long time ago.

Volcanoes come in two types: extinct and active.

Simply put, a mountain that continues to erupt is called an active volcano, whereas one that has erupted once and then remained quiet is an extinct volcano.

May all the Buddhas in heaven bless me, let me find the Earth Vein Fire at the bottom of the mountain! Gao Fei silently prayed in his heart!
