Chapter Ninety-Seven: Infernal Affairs
Ying Ran looked at Ding Cong with an embarrassed face, thinking to himself that you have said it, then you must have a way, you can't really let me cut my body into a few sections, right?
Ding Cong looked at Ying Ran and said, "Can you send my friend out first?"
Ying Ran hesitated a little after hearing this: "That, don't get me wrong." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Ding Cong and Lao Li before continuing: "Her Yuan Infant was forcibly withdrawn, and if she leaves my guardian, I am afraid that it will fly away between heaven and earth." ”
After hearing this, Lao Li said disdainfully: "Don't you just want to leave some capital to save your life?" Tell you, we have our own way to save her, don't cry when the time comes." ”
Lao Li's words obviously angered Ying Ran, and his illusory figure seemed even more shaky. Ding Cong saw that Lao Li was a little unsympathetic when he said this, and he would inevitably anger Ying Ran, so he hurriedly came out and said: "I just investigated, and there is another circle of spiritual power enchantment around the Phantom Yuan Baby, which is indeed protected, and Mr. Ying did not lie to us." He turned to Ying Ran and said, "Mr. Ying, please forgive me for my friend's recklessness." ”
Lao Li heard that the illusory burn was really as it should be, and snorted and turned to leave to see the situation of the burn. Ding Cong said helplessly: "He is such a person, he is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is not aimed at you." ”
Ying Ran didn't dwell on this matter, but he was a little worried about how he could return to Liaoshui now.
Ding Cong looked at the embarrassed Ying Ran and said: "Mr. Ying, you don't have to worry about returning to Liaoshui, I will naturally help you, but there are some things in the middle that are more troublesome, so we have to discuss them." ”
Ying Ran hummed and said: "It's really troublesome, I'm only temporarily awakened now, and I can't move my body, is there any way to say it directly." ”
Ding Cong stared at the lava below and said, "Let's find a way to lure this earth fire away first, after all, being in it for a long time will still damage your soul." As for how to do it later, we will talk about it later. ”
Of course, Ying Ran had no other opinions, but now he was powerless to save himself, so he thanked Ding Cong for clasping his fists and saluting, and then his figure shook and disappeared.
At this time, Lao Li pulled the big futon to Ding Cong's side, looked at the huge skull and mocked: "It has reached the point of being slaughtered by others, are you still thinking about kidnapping hostages? ”
Ding Cong frowned and said: "Lao Li, let's keep our hearts down, even if he is suspected of kidnapping and blackmailing, after all, he will be a great existence in the future, and it is very good that we can form this good fate now." ”
Lao Li was a little surprised, and then said disdainfully: "Which god is it? Tell me about it, it won't be more famous than my two apprentices, right?"
Ding Cong smiled helplessly after hearing this, and then said: "Your two apprentices are too famous, who can keep up with them?" Forget it, let's not talk about this first, we have to find a way to lure this earth fire away." ”
Lao Li had just been proud for a moment when he heard that he was going to start working as a coolie, and he was very angry in his heart: "Why? I have already consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight when I bombarded the mountain range just now, and besides, I have not fully recovered yet, do you want me to be injured and injured? I don't want to do it, you should come to this coolie." ”
Ding Cong was not surprised by Lao Li's reaction, and said with a smile: "I'll come, I'll come, don't rob me when you find any good things." ”
Hearing that there was something good, Lao Li also came to his senses, and asked impatiently, "What is it?"
Ding Cong looked up at the red clouds in the sky that were distorted by the high temperature, and said lightly: "Do you remember what I told you before I came? At that time, it was inferred based on the description of the spirit grass by Phantom Burn and the solution to her zombie body problem. Just now you also heard Ying Ran's description, that cicada metamorphosis fruit was indeed born here, and now there is another earth fire, it seems that there is indeed something useful for you and me here. ”
Lao Li thought for a while and asked, "There shouldn't be many things that are useful to me, it must be related to fire, do you think there is the origin of fire here?"
Ding Cong nodded and said, "Although there are many places with earth fire, the place that can give birth to such a strange spirit grass is definitely not ordinary. Hehe, then what are you going to do with this coolie? Anyway, if you don't come, I'll be the same myself, so don't be blushing when the time comes. ”
Lao Li was thrilled after hearing this, and said without hesitation: "If there is really the origin of fire, what is this hard work?
Then Ding Cong placed You Zhi and took Lao Li to start the treasure hunt.
............
"Ding Cong, you calf, how long have you been doing this? The earth is so hot that it has been ignited, where is the origin of fire?
"Where, where, what......"
A dull sound echoed through the hollow crypt, and an echo kept coming to Ding Cong's ears. Ding Cong didn't mind, after all, Lao Li couldn't do this kind of patient work.
It has been more than three months since the two of them began to lead away the earth fire. In normal times, Lao Li would never complain about anything because of this little time, after all, cultivators have a very long time to use, but these three months of sleepless digging and digging in the ground really tortured Lao Li's violent and fragile nerves, which caused him to be so annoyed.
Every time Lao Li got angry, Ding Cong took out a killer weapon and shouted directly that if he couldn't do it, he would leave, don't be greedy when the time comes! Every time Lao Li will obediently go back and continue to dig the soil, at most he mutters a few words, but today Lao Li finally couldn't help it, and completely broke out.
Ignoring Ding Cong's greedy words, he directly melted the rock and soil beside him, ran straight to Ding Cong, and yelled at him: "Lao Tzu is gone, Lao Tzu is leaving, no matter whether you find it or not, Lao Tzu will not accompany you!
Ding Cong saw Lao Li's annoyed and abnormal appearance, and he was really helpless, but he refused to really give up, so he had to persuade slowly. For the first time, I hesitated in my heart, could it be that there really was no such thing? The soil had been turned over, the rocks had been broken, and the lava had been searched several times, but there was no gain.
Looking at the appearance of Lao Li melting the mountain rock, Ding Cong's mind suddenly had a question, why didn't the earth fire melt this place away when it passed through the cave? He just melted out a passage when the flame was released? Lao Li saw that Ding Cong suddenly stopped talking, and thought that he finally had the idea of giving up, and he was also happy in his heart. After all, Ding Cong is not a person who is willing to give up easily, if he insists on screening inch by inch here, he really can't do anything.
If he can give up this time, it will be a blessing for himself, at least he can go out and walk around early. Seeing Ding Cong staring at himself without squinting, Lao Li slapped him on the shoulder unceremoniously, and teased in his mouth: "Brother, finally know that my brother is beautiful?
Ding Cong was shocked by this slap, looked at Lao Li, who seemed to be smiling, and said thoughtlessly: "Go back, how did you come over and show me again." ”
Lao Li was a little confused, and looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he meant.
Ding Cong suddenly said again: "Yes, you don't have to go back, you just need to go straight in any direction from here, hurry, hurry!"
Lao Li was pushed by Ding Cong while urging, and he was at a loss to hit the mountain rock in front of him, and saw that he was pressed against the rock wall, and the natural flames on his body gushed out, melting the rock and soil in front of him.
Lao Li was annoyed and turned around to make a move with Ding Cong, but when he turned his head, he saw Ding Cong with a weird smile on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or something else. Lao Li really couldn't figure it out, reached out and touched Ding Cong's forehead, and then touched himself before saying, "Don't you be angry, right? Even if we can't find it, it doesn't matter, I don't have to have this thing." ”
Ding Cong suddenly laughed and said, "It really should be attacked, hahaha!"
Lao Li was a little anxious when he saw that Ding Cong was unusual, so he was ready to forcibly pull him back outside and wait for a while.
Ding Cong ignored Lao Li coming over and pulling his arm, but suddenly looked up at the rock and soil above, shook off Lao Li with his left hand, and a seven-foot long sword appeared in his hand.
As soon as the weak water sword side appeared, the sound of waves and water echoed in the cave, Ding Cong raised his sword and stabbed the rock and soil above his head, and then the soul power rolled out, and in an instant, it poured into the mountain along the sword body.
Lao Li was taken aback when he saw Ding Cong's actions, and hurriedly condensed himself to protect himself, before shouting: "Ding Cong, are you crazy?"
Ding Cong was doing his best, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Lao Li's shouting, but he knew in his heart that if he couldn't do it in one go, he was afraid that there would be a big mess. After a while, as expected, Ding Cong's idea was answered, and a large amount of magma suddenly began to pour into those caves, rushing as fast as a white horse passing through a gap. Lao Li didn't react at all and was submerged by the magma above his head, but fortunately, the flames that were cast in advance for fear that Ding Cong would shatter the mountain just now worked, so that he was not injured by the magma.
However, he was worried about Ding Cong's safety, and as soon as he came to his senses, he wiped it in the direction of Ding Cong, and after just a few steps, he was blocked by a membrane, and when he looked closely, it was actually a soul power enchantment. Lao Li was so angry, knowing that Ding Cong must have known that such a thing would happen, so he made preparations in advance, fortunately, knowing that he was fine.
At this time, Lao Li suddenly felt a slight tremor in the enchantment, and it seemed that there was a tendency to thin, as if Ding Cong was too consuming in it and couldn't hold it up. Lao Li didn't think much about it, and propped up his flame shield to isolate the magma before he looked at Ding Cong and found that his soul power enchantment happened to crack and shatter at this time.
After the sound of a whole piece of broken glass falling to the ground, it was revealed that Ding Cong was still holding his sword inside. Lao Li frowned and walked near him, knowing that he couldn't disturb him at this time, but he didn't understand why he was trying so hard to infuse soul power into the mountain.
After another period of time, Lao Li felt that the magma outside flowed faster, and the force of the impact on the flame shield had more than doubled, and Ding Cong's face had turned completely pale, knowing that he was about to lose it. But at this time, he couldn't intervene at all, first of all, he didn't know what Ding Cong was doing, and secondly, even if he knew what he was going to do, he couldn't instill anger into the mountain through the weak water sword, after all, there were differences in exercises.
Just when Ding Cong's face turned pale again, the magma outside finally began to slow down, and its strength gradually weakened, and began to slowly solidify. Lao Li felt that the mountain seemed to tremble, from slight to violent, then to slight, until it slowly disappeared. And the magma also completely solidified, filling all the caves they had worked so hard to dig during this time.
Lao Li withdrew the fire shield, and when he looked back at Ding Cong, he found that he had fallen to the ground, the weak water sword had disappeared, and the clothes on his body could wring out water. Lao Li went up to help him up, and found that his body was cold, and he was trembling slightly, knowing that this was a sign of prostration, he was not very worried. Just when he wanted to melt the mountain rock and go out first, Ding Cong reluctantly opened his mouth and said tremblingly: "Leave me alone, go to You Zhi immediately, and then take You Zhi and this piece of jade to Phantom Burn." And don't use fire. ”
Lao Li leaned his ear to Ding Cong's mouth to barely hear what he said, but if he wasn't allowed to use fire, how could he get out of here? Just as Lao Li wanted to ask, Ding Cong's left hand trembled and shook it, and the weak water sword quickly emerged, and at the same time, a small jade stone appeared next to it, which was the one that Lu Jingtian left for Phantom Burn. As soon as the weak water sword appeared, Ding Cong sprayed a mouthful of blood on Lao Li's body, and he no longer had the strength to speak.
Lao Li knew that Ding Cong was already desperate at this time, and the situation must be very urgent, so he didn't have much to grab the weak water sword and slashed towards it. After a boom, only a small slash appeared. Lao Li was anxious after taking a look, knowing that something really happened, what he was holding in his hand was an artifact, and after years of sacrifice and training by Ding Cong, he didn't know what grade of artifact it was, but now he just cut out a deep crack, and it seems that it is not easy to get out.
Originally, Lao Li wanted to cut out a passage and go out with Ding Cong, but now it seems that it is very difficult to even exhibit a passage that he can pass. However, at this time, Lao Li also showed the momentum that the overhaul of the refining period should have, although he could not use flames, but his body was very full of violent, and at this time, the weak water sword was even more crazy when he used it in his hand. didn't care if the artifact in his hand was at all, he just used it as a mountain axe, and he didn't know how many times he split it along the way, and he didn't care whether the falling gravel would bury Ding Cong alive, just slashed wildly all the way.
Finally, Lao Li cut through the last piece of hard rock, saw the light outside, felt the rich aura swimming in the air, and heard a deafening roar. The roar seemed a little hoarse, some weak, some angry, some sad and angry, and finally it just turned into a roar to express his emotions.
After Lao Li came out, he didn't have time to care about what had become outside, and after a few dodges, he came to the thatched house where You Zhi lived, and found You Zhi pacing back and forth uneasily. After seeing Lao Li enter the house, he was about to go up to ask, but Lao Li didn't give her time to speak at all, picked it up and carried it on his shoulder, and began to dodge and run in the direction of Ying Ran's head.
When I came to the front of the skull, I found that the skull had changed, the two protrusions on the top of the head had completely turned into horns, and the grooves in the mouth had also erected and turned into canine teeth. At this time, Lao Li realized that he was actually turning into a dragon, and at this time, a red light burned in his empty eye sockets, like two flame giant eyes staring at Lao Li in front of him.
Lao Li was just stunned for a moment and began to look for the phantom Yuanying, not paying attention to whether Ying Ran was turning into a dragon or not. When he saw the spiritual power enchantment around the Phantom Yuan Infant disappear, Lao Li's eyes gradually became cold, and he said, "Play Infernal Affairs with us, do you want to die?"
