Chapter 60: Taking the Opportunity to Leave
The Spirit Volcano is the nearest small mountain range outside Qiuyun City, and the fire element in it is extremely active, and under normal circumstances, few monks come here to practice.
Of course, in addition to the fact that this place is not suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, there is another reason that there are a lot of demon beasts here.
Due to the perennial activity of the fire element, it is difficult for ordinary spirit grass here to grow.
At the bottom of the Spirit Volcano Peak, it is said that there is a huge fire spirit vein, the so-called fire spirit vein, which gathers the fire element between heaven and earth, which should have been a spirit stone vein, but due to the baptism of the fire element, the spirit stone was eroded by the fire attribute element, and the entire meridian underwent transformation.
The formation of the fire spirit vein is very harsh, so no one has found the fire spirit vein under the spirit volcano, and everyone regards this matter as a folk saying.
Qiu Yuncheng was not very far from the destination of Tang Bufan and his party, but it also took nearly a day.
The Spirit Volcano soon came into everyone's eyes, and Tang Bufan, who came here for the first time, squinted his eyes slightly, observing the mountain topography of the Spirit Volcano. The Spirit Volcano is towering and the jungle is dense, and with the eyes of ordinary people, you can only see a corner of the foot of the mountain at a glance.
"This is the Spirit Volcano?"
Tang Bufan looked up and couldn't see the end of the mountain at a glance.
"That's right! There are a lot of demon beasts in the Spirit Volcano, and the location of the Fire Lotus is in the depths of the Spirit Volcano, and it will take several days for ordinary people to enter. ”
Tang Bufan nodded, and the people of the Qiu family and the Yun family began to camp outside the range of the Spirit Volcano. He also set about setting up his camp.
It seems that they are all tacitly preparing to leave tomorrow and officially enter.
"Do you think the Spirit Volcano is a little strange?" the black hole said in a deep voice in Tang Bufan's mind.
Tang Bufan asked in surprise, "What's strange?"
The black hole replied, "The fire element in here is also too active!"
Tang Bufan said: "On the way, listen to them, there may be a fire spirit vein down here, it may be the reason for it!"
Black Hole denied: "What they said is only possible, and the degree of activity of the fire element in this is not something that can be achieved by a single fire spirit vein. ”
Tang Bufan frowned: "Can other powerhouses feel the difference here?"
The black hole replied, "Unless there are monks who have transcended the three realms of psychic spirits, they will not be able to discover anything strange here. ”
Tang Bufan nodded: "In this case, maybe we will have some gains when we enter." ”
"Be careful, it's not easy!"
The Yun family and the Qiu family have a very tacit understanding of dividing a line, and their respective teams only operate within their own range.
Tang Bufan was very honest and slept peacefully in the tent he had built.
In the middle of the night, two figures appeared in Qiu Xiu's team. The aura of the living realm emanating from their bodies made the black hole in Tang Bufan's body quickly perceive.
And the Yun family also had two powerhouses of the Living Spirit Realm and a person from the middle stage of the Transformation Spirit Realm arrived, and they acted quite secretively, and they were not discovered by their opponents.
It's just that no matter how secretive they do, the black hole is still very easy to perceive.
On the eve of the sunshine passing through the night, whether it was the strong man from the Qiu family or the three people from the Yun family, they were the first to enter the Spirit Volcano.
Early in the morning, when Tang Bufan got up, the outside had already been cleaned up.
"Young Master Xiu, are you going to enter today?" Tang Bufan asked when he saw Qiu Xiu coming towards him.
Qiu Xiu smiled and replied, "Not bad!"
"By the way, Brother Tang, you go up the mountain today, we and the Yun family go up the mountain from two roads respectively, after stepping forward, we don't remember the means to rush in the direction of the fire lotus, whoever collects the fire lotus first, who will have the right to control the fire lotus. ”
Tang Bufan nodded in understanding.
"We'll set off in a minute, with no pauses, and it will take us about two days to get to our destination. Qiu Xiu reminded again.
Tang Bufan replied: "No problem." ”
Everything was ready, and before the Qiu family and the Yun family set off, the representatives of the two sides negotiated.
Soon, Qiu Heng sent an order to everyone on behalf of Qiu Xiu: Go!
The people around Tang Bufan were like arrows from the string, and they disappeared in place in an instant.
Tang Bufan was not far behind, stepping on the spirit trick to operate, his own spiritual power burst out, and he followed behind everyone very steadily!
Not long after entering the Spirit Volcano, there were some first-class small beasts harassing them, but they were quickly solved by the people who opened the way ahead.
Roughly entering a certain depth, the teams of the Qiu family's Yun family, which were traveling in different directions, were already far apart.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of Qiu Xiu.
"Uncle Shi!" Qiu Xiu stepped forward and clenched his fists!
The two in front nodded.
These two people are the powerhouses of the Living Soul Realm who came at night.
On the two roads traveled by the Qiu Jiayun family, they would definitely pass through the territory of two four-rank demon beasts, and they would each be assigned, and one team would deal with one.
"Uncle Shi, let's go according to the plan!"
"Okay!" The two people in front of them didn't talk nonsense, and they swept in different directions.
After Qiu Xiu's two uncles left, Qiu Xiu turned his head and said, "There will be a third-grade demon beast in front, if you encounter obstacles, in order to hurry up, I decided to leave one person to deal with it, and the rest of the people hurry up and go to the land of fire lotus." ”
The crowd looked at each other and there was no objection.
Seeing that there was no opposition, Qiu Xiu threw out a map route by himself again.
"This is the location of the Fire Lotus, and the routes we have planned before, so those who stay only need to follow these routes to catch up with us. ”
Tang Bufan took the route and put it away.
Qiu Xiu's method is indeed the fastest method, but it is dangerous for those who are left to deal with demon beasts.
In the depths of such a strange jungle, the danger that exists is not as simple as monsters.
Along the way, Tang Bufan carefully observed the surroundings and marked the road according to the requirements of the black hole.
When it passed by the territory of a third-grade demon beast, it immediately reacted and ran in the direction of Tang Bufan and his party.
"This is the Spirit Flame Beast of the late stage of the third grade!" Qiu Liancheng, the head of the Qiu family who had never taken the initiative to speak beside Qiu Xiu, said.
Qiu Liancheng was a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his perception was much higher than the others in the team.
Because most of the monks in the team are in the late stage of the Transformation Spirit Realm, except for Qiu Liancheng, the monks at the peak of the Transformation Spirit Realm only have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sinister bald head.
This bald head has not taken the initiative to negotiate with everyone, just like Tang Bufan, he has been walking quietly aside.
However, Tang Bufan observed that although this person did not take the initiative to communicate, his eyes were always looking at the people around him.
Everyone didn't expect that the first third-grade demon beast they encountered when they entered the mountain range was the late third-grade demon beast.
The demon beasts in the late stage of the third grade, even if they are monks at the peak of the spirit realm, need to spend a certain amount of effort to solve them.
Tang Bufan thought to himself, if you want to get rid of the team, you have to deal with a demon beast alone, and the sooner you leave the team, the easier it is, after all, if you leave the team later, someone must catch up after solving the demon beast, and if someone goes with you, then the chance of leaving is small.
Such a third-grade late-stage demon beast, ordinary monks in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm are a little afraid, after all, the demon beasts of the same cultivators have higher combat effectiveness than ordinary human monks.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Qiu Liancheng, who was beside Qiu Xiu, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't I go!"
Qiu Xiu turned his head and glanced at it, but did not immediately agree.
Whether it is in the early or late stage, as long as it is in the territory where it is located, it is difficult to deal with, because its familiarity with its own territory far exceeds that of humans.
If you really want to ensure your own safety, the best way is not to be the first to strike, after all, as long as the second shot is slightly blocked, someone will rush to support, and the first person to shoot, if you encounter an emergency, will fall into passivity.
Tang Bufan was a little anxious, under normal circumstances, this monk at the peak of the Transformation Spirit Realm was the most suitable person to be the first to make a move.
"It's just a demon beast in the late stage of the third grade, so naturally you don't need to bother this senior to make a move. Tang Bufan took the initiative to speak out, and deliberately added the word senior.
"Oh?" Qiu Liancheng was a little surprised by Tang Bufan's voice, and Qiu Xiu was also a little surprised.
Qiu Xiu actually didn't want the peak cultivators of the Spirit Transformation Realm around him to leave, after all, there was still a long road ahead, and if he encountered a demon beast at the peak of the third grade, he had to make a move from these two people, and he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no one from the Yun family behind him to make trouble.
Tang Bufan arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, I can deal with this third-grade late-stage Lingyan beast, don't forget the lotus seed that Master Xiu promised me before!"
Qiu Xiu is not a cowardly person, although he thinks that Tang Bufan's background is very deep, but Tang Bufan never mentions who is behind him, so Qiu Xiu doesn't care too much about whether Tang Bufan's life is in danger.
"Okay!" Qiu Xiu also heartily agreed.
Han Shihu on the side frowned and looked at the young man who had fought a little before, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking.
Tang Bufan changed his route slightly and rushed out in the direction of the demon beast's attack.
After a short delay, the team did not stop at all.
"Childe, don't you appreciate this Tang Fan very much, why did you let him take the first risk! And this Tang Fan obviously has a good identity, if he has an accident...... Qiu Heng said worriedly.
Qiu Xiu smiled indifferently: "This Tang Fan is indeed good, and I do appreciate him, but he is not as simple as you seem on the surface." ”
Qiu Heng asked, "Why?"
"This Tang Fan, I saw yesterday that he had different thoughts, leaving the team this time was just looking for an interface!"
Qiu Heng was shocked: "Childe has already seen it, why?"
Qiu Xiu smiled: "Why do you mean I still let him leave?"
Qiu Heng nodded, and Qiu Xiu said very confidently: "He wants to use us to find the Fire Lotus, and I also want to use his background to do something." ”
Qiu Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "You mean ......"
Qiu Xiu smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
