Chapter 18: The Spirit of the Flame
Shi Xuan also used all his strength, and recovered for a while before relieving himself, the third-order flame demon lizard was extremely hard, Shi Xuan took a long time to peel off the skin of this demon lizard with the help of a sharp dagger, and took out the spirit pill, and he couldn't carry the rest and could only throw it away.
This third-order Flame Demon Lizard Spirit Pill can be embedded in a high-quality weapon, which can provide extremely powerful power, Shi Xuan is also considered lucky, as for the essence blood, he has no time to refine it, and the Divine Dragon Emperor now needs at least the essence blood of a fourth-order spirit beast if he wants to further improve, and now he has no ability to deal with a fourth-order spirit beast.
Shi Xuan took some elixirs to restore his aura and prepared to take advantage of the darkness to move on. Shi Xuan walked alone in the deep canyon, he deliberately avoided some weak spirit beasts along the way, he didn't want to delay too long, the longer he stayed in this kind of place, the more unsafe it became, he needed to find a place to rest before dark, he didn't want to sleep outside.
The closer he got to the depths, the canyon gradually opened up, and the lava gradually formed into intersecting rivers, bubbling with scorching bubbles, Shi Xuan didn't dare to be careless, with his current strength, once he fell into it, he would directly turn into flying ashes.
These areas were already inaccessible, and it was difficult for Shi Xuan to find any trace of people, and he encountered some first- and second-order fire attribute spirit beasts along the way, but the angry flame spirit in the mission description was not encountered.
After walking for a day in a row, he approached the center of the Tianyan Rift, where the fire spirit qi was extremely abundant, Shi Xuan could be said to be at ease fighting here, but the spirit beasts he faced were also fire attributes, which made him have no advantage.
Along the way, he was also actively disturbed by many spirit beasts, he had to take action to solve it, and now he is also a little tired, just when he was about to dig up a piece of spiritual material, a powerful fire-eyed golden toad launched an attack on him.
Although the Fire-Eyed Golden Toad was only a third-order, it was extremely poisonous, and the flames it sprayed had a strange dark blue color, Shi Xuan was a little careless, his spirit armor was directly corroded, if he didn't run away in time, his body would inevitably be harmed.
Shi Xuan didn't want to provoke this terrifying guy, although its elixir was expensive, but Shi Xuan didn't have a good way to deal with it, it was all highly poisonous, and he would die if he was not careful.
Shi Xuan flexibly dodged the attack of the golden toad, took out a walnut-sized thing from the container and threw it in place, and immediately released a large cloud of cyan mist, these mist had a foul smell, the fire-eyed golden toad was smoked and jumped away directly, Shi Xuan took the opportunity to urge the combat boots with all his strength, and fled quickly with a smoke, and after a while, he saw that he was free from the pursuit of the fire-eyed golden toad before he stopped panting.
"Damn, it's really unlucky, how did you encounter such a disgusting thing", Shi Xuan snored and was unlucky.
This golden toad's strength is not strong, and the flame attack is average, but it is extremely poisonous, and even the spirit armor that Shi Xuan loves so much has been corroded, which directly scares him. He didn't think his skin could withstand such poison.
"I'll come back to clean you up when I'm strong", Shi Xuan also complained several times in a row, this time it was a big loss, and he had to re-forge a pair of spirit armor when he went back, and it would cost a lot of materials.
After getting rid of the pursuit, Shi Xuan observed the surroundings more carefully, and began to search for the cave to prepare for a night's rest, and wait for tomorrow to continue deeper.
After walking for a while, several second-order fire wolves were successfully hunted by Shi Xuan, and seized their caves, and even their meat was roasted and eaten by Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan covered the entrance of the cave with the demon lizard skin he obtained, and after cleaning it up, he rested beautifully for a night, thinking of his lost spirit armor, his heart was bleeding.
Even at night, the temperature here is still frighteningly high, and a lava stream is flowing not far away, and the heat wave hits people, and Shi Xuan can still endure the high temperature furnace all year round.
The deep canyon here made the sun rise relatively slowly, but the light emitted by the lava illuminated the surroundings, Shi Xuan got up early, unwilling to delay too long, and continued to move forward.
In several wide lava pools, Shi Xuan actually saw a few fire lotuses growing in the lava, some of which had already bloomed, Shi Xuan used his wood-burning whip to successfully take a lot of fire lotus seeds, these are all good things, they can be added to the aura as fire attribute spiritual materials, so that the fire attribute of the aura can be enhanced, and many precious elixirs can also be refined, and the value is extremely valuable.
Just as Shi Xuan continued to prepare to collect the remaining lotus canopy, there was a slight fluctuation from the low part of the lava, Shi Xuan stepped back vigilantly, and then more than a dozen flame pythons as thick as thighs emerged, not afraid of the hot lava at all.
Shi Xuan retreated from a distance, he felt that there was an even more amazing giant python about to appear, just when he ran out of a hundred and ten battles away, a giant python several battles long vacated the lava pool, and the huge mangtou had already grown many spirit tablets, and it was estimated that there would be a chance to grow into a fourth-order snake in the future.
The giant snake instantly rolled up a large wave of lava and flew everywhere, and many places were instantly on fire, Shi Xuan realized that he had grabbed something tricky, which was the exclusive property of this giant python.
The giant python was as fast as lightning and chased Shi Xuan frantically, dozens of zhang away, Shi Xuan was almost swept away by the giant python's crazy inhalation, the giant python opened its bloody mouth and inhaled violently towards Shi Xuan, the earth and stones around Shi Xuan were frantically swept away, Shi Xuan hurriedly inserted the big knife, and grabbed it and didn't let go.
Seeing that it couldn't work, the giant python pursued again, and several mouthfuls of fire erupted from its huge mouth in a row, and a large area instantly turned into a sea of fire, and Shi Xuan urged his combat boots to flee like a smart rabbit.
From time to time, he turned around and pulled the bowstring, and shot the arrow feathers at the python, but it was still difficult to hurt in the slightest, and its defense was no weaker than that of the flame demon lizard.
The giant python chased after it relentlessly, spraying flames for a while, and rolling up a large piece of earth and stones to smash at Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan ran wildly, not daring to stop at all, the giant python was furious, and was bound to devour Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan's current strength is far from being able to compete with it, one of the feet of this giant python has already stepped into the fourth order, and if he forcibly fights it, he will most likely have to hate it.
He frantically ran towards the territory of the Fire-Eyed Golden Toad, and he wanted to use the poison of the Fire-Eyed Golden Toad to deal with this big guy.
It took him a while to get close to it, and he kept praying that the golden toad was still there, and Shi Xuan entered the territory of the golden toad with the big guy splashing earth and stones.
At this moment, Jin Toad looked at Shi Xuan who broke in, and immediately became furious, trying to poison him, and when he met, a large mouthful of poisonous fire erupted, and Shi Xuan almost scolded his mother.
"Dead toad, don't you regret it later?" Shi Xuan cursed, quickly dodging away.
At this moment, a huge figure crushed over, and a large area of earth and stone was swept away by it, it saw that Shi Xuan was not running, and just as it was about to kill Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan took out a plate of fire lotus seeds and threw it towards the Fire-Eyed Golden Toad on the other side.
The fire-eyed golden toad was dumbfounded for a moment, looking at the fire lotus seed on the side of his mouth and swallowing it in one bite, the giant python on the other side roared violently towards the sky, and the flames that burned the mountains and boiled the sea burned towards the golden toad, Shi Xuan took the opportunity to throw down a few poison gas bombs and hid.
The giant python ignored Shi Xuan, who had escaped, and began to fight this highly poisonous guy.
One is about to break through the third-order barrier, and the other is extremely poisonous, and they are not easy to mess with. Although the speed, strength, and attack of the giant python comprehensively suppressed the golden toad, the poisonous poison of the golden toad gave the giant python a dismount.
The golden toad responded to all changes, and it spat fire at the giant python several times in a row, sticking to the reckless skin, and immediately corroded a large area, and the giant python rolled on the ground in pain.
It got up again, retreated dozens of feet, and rolled up a large piece of earth and stone from afar and smashed it at the golden toad, the power of the golden toad was far from being able to fight against it, so it could only jump away, and the two fierce beasts launched an offensive of chasing and fighting, and the scene was chaotic, and real fire was burning everywhere.
Shi Xuan, who was hiding in the distance and relying on his battle armor to blend into the environment, was terrified.
The giant python's thick tail slapped fiercely on the golden toad's body, and the golden toad's skin suddenly burst out of blue poisonous blood, many of which stuck to its tail, and suddenly a large piece of skin and flesh of the giant python's tail fell off, and the two of them hit a real fire, and the jade was burning to kill each other.
The golden toad relied on the poison to fight, but after all, the strength gap was large, and it was attacked by the python many times and gradually lost, at this moment its whole body was open and fleshy, terrifying, a large area of poisonous blood flowed all over the ground, and the soil and stones were corroded. The giant python was not much better, his whole body was festering, and many poisons entered the bloodline, and at this moment his attack weakened a lot, and even the true fire was much weaker.
Looking at the opponent who was about to lose, it was ready to completely torture and kill the golden toad to vent its anger, just when it was about to strike a thunderous blow, the fire-eyed golden toad naturally understood that it was over, it was ready to fight back to death, the poison of the whole body gathered in the eyes, the fiery red eyes suddenly became blue and weird, and then two poisonous fires shot from the eyes to the python's bloody mouth.
The poisonous fire burned mercilessly in the mouth of the giant python, and the poison quickly penetrated into the bone marrow, and the giant python endured the severe pain and smashed the hammered golden toad into pieces.
The poisonous real fire also completely buried this giant python, his whole body trembled violently, and he fell to the ground fiercely, his reckless head had already been corroded to the point that it was not visible, but his body was still struggling, and the necrotic tail of the skin and flesh whipped the earth violently, rolling up countless dust, Shi Xuan watched from a distance as the giant python slowly died of poison.
After a long time, the body of the giant python was completely stiff, and there was a cloud of dark blue poison on the chaotic field, Shi Xuan carefully bypassed, the golden toad died without a whole body, but the giant python left a corpse, at this moment the giant python's whole body was stiff, and it was seriously corroded by the poison everywhere, and at this moment there was a foul smell in the air, Shi Xuan took some antidote pills to avoid being eroded by the poisonous mist, he came to the giant python, put on his fist gloves, and used a sharp dagger to cut the flesh, these flesh and skin had already become highly poisonous, Shi Xuan operated carefully to avoid contamination.
In the end, a third-order peak snake elixir with a powerful breath appeared in his hand, and this elixir was about to evolve into a fourth-order, which could be said to be extremely precious. The rest of the things, Shi Xuan didn't dare to ask for the same, it was extremely poisonous, and he didn't want to die.
After getting the elixir, he fled far away and found some water to wash his body thoroughly to avoid being poisoned.
If it weren't for Shi Xuan's wit, otherwise it would be difficult for him to escape from the mouth of the giant python, the opponent's attack, speed, and strength suppressed him in front, his control spirit skill could not be directly taken in front of such a powerful spirit beast, and his strength was not worth mentioning, once he was caught up, he would only be tortured and killed.
This trick is to kill people with a knife is to deal with these low-level spirit beasts work, once more than the fifth order of the spirit beasts will be born most of the spirit intelligence, some powerful can even break away from the spirit beast physique illusion into a mouth, low-level spirit beasts are usually physically strong or amazing talent but the spirit intelligence is extremely low, people can usually take many ways to deal with spirit beasts that are stronger than themselves.
Once the spirit beast that exceeds the fifth order has extremely high spiritual intelligence, it is extremely difficult to deal with it, and it is difficult for people of the same level to deal with the spirit beast of the same level.
Shi Xuan almost played big this time, if Jin Toad hadn't stopped the giant python for him, he would have been ready to urge the spirit rune to use the only three chances to save his life, but fortunately, Jin Toad didn't live up to his expectations.
"I can't be so reckless in the future, such a scary guy", Shi Xuan sat limp on top of a clearing at the moment, gasping for breath, and taking some elixir to restore his aura.
Looking at the fire lotus seed in his hand, he still felt that it was worth it, after all, wealth and wealth were in danger.
He was also constantly thinking about it, this place was definitely very close to the core of the Tianyan Rift, but he hadn't yet encountered the Flame Spirit required by the trial.
It was only here that I encountered a spirit beast that was about to advance to the fourth order, and if I continued to go deeper, I didn't know what terrifying existence I would encounter.
After some pranayama, his body regained a lot of strength, he had to move forward again, on the way he finally encountered a few pieces of third-order forging spiritual materials, the cherished spiritual materials of Ser silver, Mithril, and stainless steel were exactly what he dreamed of, these areas were inaccessible, and many powerful mercenaries did not have the courage to come, not to mention the others, the giant python and the golden toad were enough for them to drink a pot.
Shi Xuan's harvest was huge, even the container was almost full, he had to find a hidden cave to hide the spiritual materials he obtained, make a mark, and continue to look for the Spirit of Fury Flame, this time he settled down a lot, bypassing many fierce spirit beasts.
After walking through a lot of areas and still having no clue, just when he was hungry and thirsty, he saw a clear spring ready to collect some spring water, not far away in the lava pool, a special figure caught his attention, too far to see clearly, he cautiously approached, and finally a creature similar to the description of the task appeared in the tumbling lava pool.
"Is this the Spirit of Fury?", Shi Xuan carefully looked at this strange creature, it was completely different from the creature he had seen, it was like a pure elemental creature, not flesh and blood, like a creature born of flames, its whole body emitted fire, and it continuously drew fire energy from the pool.
"A pure flame elemental creature is really peculiar, is this the same as those creatures in the Fire Spirit Realm?" Shi Xuan thought of the murals in those caves, there were many figures that looked very similar to this special flame creature, and their bodies were large and small.
"It must be the remnants of the Fire Spirit King's consciousness that made them have life, automatically drawing energy from these magma to increase their strength, could it be that the Fire Spirit King was also born in the Fire Spirit Realm in this way?" Shi Xuan thought a lot.
"It's you, I must get my hands on the crystallization of the Spirit of Fire. ”
With his goal in mind, Shi Xuan began to prepare to deal with this elemental creature, and he hid behind the stone and planned a plan.
The spring water he encountered before became his killing move, the water element naturally restrained the fire element, and he wanted to use the spring water to suppress the power of the flame spirit and take advantage of the mechanism to subdue it.
In the distance, Shi Xuan picked up a stubborn stone and threw it at the Flame Spirit in the distance.
With a pop of thought, the Spirit of Flame was disturbed, it found Shi Xuan along the waves, the Spirit of Flame began to be restless, quickly swam out of the molten slurry, and killed Shi Xuan angrily, seeing the successful seduction, Shi Xuan ran away, running towards the spring that he had passed before, along the way, the Spirit of Flame emitted anger, like a wall of flames like a huge wave, Shi Xuan's ass was like sitting on the stove, it was extremely hot, and the huge heat wave swept him away.
"Damn, why are you more ruthless than a python", Shi Xuan was completely speechless, this guy was extremely perverted, and the flame attack was so fierce.
Got up and continued to run forward, the hot spirit armor almost roasted him, and when he saw the nearby spring water, he plunged into it at once, and it was much cooler in an instant, even if it was a pool of hot water.
Seeing Shi Xuan entering the water, the Spirit of Fury Flame set off several waves of heat in an attempt to pull Shi Xuan out.
Shi Xuan shrank into the pool with his breath closed, consuming the aura of the Flame Spirit, but in this hot environment, it seemed to have inexhaustible power, and waves of flame storms swept here.
"What a ruthless beast, do you want to drown me at the bottom of the pool?" Shi Xuan was speechless, this beast was not finished, and the flames of anger were about to suffocate him below.
Shi Xuan jumped out of the spring, and his whole body emitted a rich firelight, forming a huge fire spirit shield to resist the calcination of the angry flame spirit.
Shi Xuan pulled out his big knife and stepped forward to start killing the Spirit of the Flame, his sword technique was interlocking and did not want to give the Spirit of the Flame a chance to cast more spiritual skills, and the Spirit of the Flame also released a huge fire to resist, and a big battle started between the two, and a true fire came out from between the two.
Shi Xuan was swept away by the anger of the Flame Spirit again and again, and the whip slashed Shi Xuan one after another, making it difficult for him to get close, Shi Xuan also used the wood-burning whip to fight against it from a distance, the whips of the two crossed together, Shi Xuan took the opportunity to rush forward again and constantly interrupt the casting of the Flame Spirit, and launched a fierce attack, breaking through the air and slashing the Seven Slashes with great power, and successfully knocked down the Flame Spirit several times. But every time he prepared to kill his head, the Spirit of Fury threw him away with great rage, and then a great sea of fire burned over.
"You're still not finished, is your fire spirit so rich?" Shi Xuan had no temper.
Shi Xuan cast shackles over a long distance again and again to bind the Spirit of Fury Flame, and again and again he rushed forward and slashed, and was swept away again and again, and each time he failed to collapse.
Shi Xuan was once thrown to the ground, and the violent fall made his eyes flutter and he was dizzy, he didn't give up at all, this time he deliberately showed his flaws and fell on the edge of the spring pool and pretended to be dead, no longer moving.
The Spirit of Flame fired a ball of real fire to calcinate Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan relied on the strong flame affinity to resist the calcination, a moment later, the Spirit of Flame came to the side to feel its breath of life, at this moment, a huge flame giant hand instantly captured the fire spirit, the spirit of anger tried to break the giant hand to break free from the restraints, Shi Xuan did not hesitate to spread his hands and firmly hold the spirit of the flame and poured towards the spring, he felt the heart-rending heat, making him feel uncomfortable breathing.
With a bang, a large fireball fell into the spring pool, and for a while, the violent mist filled the sky, and the high temperature of Shi Xuan's body was relieved, Shi Xuan was firmly restrained, and the spirit of the flame that struggled violently until its origin fire gradually disappeared, Shi Xuan lowered it in the pool, and pushed it out of the water, and a hot fiery red crystal ball appeared in his hand, exuding a rich flame breath.
"This is the crystallization of the Spirit of Fury?" Shi Xuan was overjoyed, completely ignoring the completely burned spirit armor.
With this thing, his first trial goal can be regarded as complete, at this moment he is exhausted, lying by the spring to rest, today's battle can be said to be full, and his spirit armor is also broken, but he is not distressed, with these gains, he doesn't care about these first-order spirit armor forged before, with his current forging technology, he can completely forge second-order spirit armor, as long as there are enough spiritual materials, he is not worried.
It took him a long time to recover, and he walked towards the cave where he had hidden his spiritual materials, and spent a tiring night in the cave.
The next morning, he cut the hard skin of the lizard and made a simple vest to wear on his body, replacing the damaged spirit armor, with which he also had a huge guarantee of survival.
Taking advantage of the early morning, he continued to go deeper into a distance, he was still looking for some spiritual materials, but on the distant horizon, Shi Xuan saw a terrifying big guy, a huge angry flame spirit that was ten battles tall was wandering there, and from a long distance, Shi Xuan was so frightened that he disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the existence of that level, a mouthful of real fire was enough to make him disappear.
"It turns out that there is such a terrifying existence in the Tianyan Rift, it's incredible, such a huge flame spirit has at least a fifth-order or sixth-order strength, it is estimated that it can speak people's mouths, maybe it can speak?" Shi Xuan didn't dare to go and observe in a daze.
Now that he had enough to gain, he began to walk back along the road, looking at the high mountains on both sides, and the steaming Tianyan Rift Shi Xuan was in shock. This time, he can be regarded as gaining knowledge.
There are tens of millions of creatures in the world, any strange creature can be born, there are human races with extraordinary intelligence, thousands of spirit beast races with strong bloodlines, and strange supernatural creatures born with natural growth, each kind of creature has a unique cultivation method, it is not difficult for Shi Xuan to imagine what kind of terrifying strength the King of Flame has, the Tianyan Rift he formed ten thousand years ago, can still give birth to such a terrifying creature, he has at least reached the peak of the human race in his own life, or even higher, it is hard to imagine what kind of tragic price the ancestors of the human race paid to seal him in the realm of fire spirits。
Shi Xuan thought of this trial, and was worried, if he couldn't complete the trial and seal the Fire Spirit Realm again in twenty years, he really couldn't imagine that there would be any terrifying creatures coming to this world, and when the time came, would the human race still have people like their ancestors to repel them again?
Shi Xuan was not entangled, he just wanted to be in the moment, he hurried to Black Rock City in a light car, hoping to arrive before dark......
