Chapter 416: On a Whim

The orange flames burned on the mountain range, the temperature was unusually high, and everyone's bodies shimmered with brilliant brilliance, and it was obvious that the treasures that resembled ice beads on their bodies were running wildly.

Kong Ming threw a piece of dark iron ore into the flames below, and soon the ore melted.

"Good fellow, this flame is actually much stronger than the earth fire!"

What makes everyone wonder is that there are no plants on the mountain, and it is not an open-pit carboniferous mine, what is it that burns so hot?

Qin Chuan came from the end of the era when science and technology flourished, and he studied chemical engineering, so he was used to looking at problems from the perspective of elements.

He had thought it might be a colorless, odorless, flammable gas from underground, such as natural gas, but he was startled by an earth-shattering explosion in the distance, followed by a mushroom cloud, which looked too much like some kind of nuclear explosion!

And just after that explosion, the temperature suddenly rose dozens of times, and even if there was a magic weapon to resist the high temperature, everyone almost couldn't bear it, and immediately fled into the distance.

"Qin Daoyou, is this the result of your whim?" Lin Shaobai began to talk again.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, "Is Lin Daoyou blaming me? If you think I'm incompetent as the captain, I can recognize me!"

"That's what you said?"

"I said that!"

"Okay, let's choose a captain again!"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, this time it seems that Qin Chuan made a "mistake" in choosing the route, but it's not a big deal, just choose another way, Lin Shaobai must have something else in mind when he said this.

"Then you can choose a new captain, I'm going to go and get the treasure first!" Qin Chuan didn't wait for everyone's reaction, he flew high into the sky with the light of escape, and then flew towards the depths of the Flame Mountain.

"I don't care about Lao Chu!" After speaking, he followed and flew away.

"What treasure, I'm going to see it too!" Kong Ming and the Su brothers and sisters glanced at each other and followed, Su Yifei was naturally a husband and wife, but Su Yifeng did not follow up.

"Senior sister, presumably Brother Qin has found something, let's follow and take a look!"

Chen Peng and Wen Wan also followed, and only Lin Shaobai, Zhang Xiaoming, Zhang Xiaomo, Qi Huaishan and Su Yifeng were left in place.

"That's... I'll take a look too!" Qi Huaishan hesitated and left.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you have any plans?" asked Zhang Xiaoming hesitantly.

"Don't you think the surname Qin is a little weird?"

"You mean a whim?"

"Yes, I always feel that he has other intentions, in case he wants to trick us, it will be too late to cry!"

"Senior brother, you are too careful, we made a demon oath before we came!"

"Do you dare to guarantee that the oath will be useful in this world?"

Zhang Xiaoming's face became cloudy, but he finally shook his head, "I don't think Qin Daoyou is that kind of person, and he has no reason to harm us!"

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, how many times have you only been dating him? By the way, Su Daoyou only seems to know that he is good at refining weapons, right?"

Su Yifeng nodded and said, "We don't have a deep friendship with him!"

"That's... What does Senior Brother Lin mean?"

"We can't always let him lead the way, even if we don't change the captain, I don't think the route can be as he said anymore!"

"This is easy to do, we will designate a route together when we go back, I think they will agree!"

Zhang Xiaomo suddenly spoke, "Don't talk about this yet, let's go and see what good things Qin Daoyou has found!"

......

Qin Chuan didn't find anything on his own, but he believed that the white-headed horse monkey and Fu Yuanqing would not lie to him, and after flying for about three or four hundred miles, he had reached the central area of the Flame Mountain.

It was noticeably hotter than the periphery, but the flames were not connected, there were many places to stay, and the color of the flames changed from orange to golden.

Suddenly, he noticed that on a burning black and red boulder, there was a cluster of dancing flames like a firebird, very agile.

"Old Qin, what did you see?" Chu Tianlong followed his gaze, and then let out a "huh".

"Haha, follow Captain Qin, sure enough, I didn't follow the wrong person, it turns out that there is a spiritual fire here!" Kong Ming and Su Yifei also arrived, followed by Chen Peng and Wen Wan, and finally came to Qi Huaishan, seeing the beating golden flame, everyone showed a look of surprise.

The so-called spiritual fire refers to the flame condensed by the essence of the flame, and it already has spirituality, which belongs to the category of heaven and earth spiritual objects, and if it is further evolved, it will form an innate fire spirit, which is even more amazing.

The spiritual fire not only helps the alchemy refiner, but also can be used as a magical power against the enemy after refining, the volcanic rock fire refined in Qinchuan belongs to a kind of spiritual fire, and its value and practicality are higher than ordinary spiritual objects, therefore, everyone is hot, even Qi Huaishan, who has refined purple fire, is no exception, because different spiritual fires have different uses, and the spiritual fire on the boulder not far away is golden, it seems to be the condensation of the sun's essence fire, and it has begun to take the form of a firebird, and its value is immeasurable.

"Brother Qin, how is this cluster of spiritual fire, I'll compensate you when I turn around!" Kong Ming spoke first.

"Lao Kong, do you have a way to come first and come later? Even if Lao Qin gives up, it won't be your turn!" Chu Tianlong took out a bottle-shaped magic weapon, and he had to do it first.

Of course, Chen Peng and the others didn't want to give up, and several people argued for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is more than one cluster of spiritual fires here, look over there!" Several people followed the direction pointed by Qin Chuan, their divine senses scanned the past, and sure enough, they found another cluster of similar spiritual fires.

"Damn, this is really a treasure, let's look for it again!"

After a lot of effort, a total of more than 20 clusters of spiritual fires were found within a radius of 100 miles, so that there was no need for everyone to argue anymore, and they all showed their magic powers to collect spiritual fires.

Collecting spiritual fire is a technical job, this thing already has spirituality, and it immediately escapes when it perceives danger, and once it escapes, it is impossible to find it in this flame mountain within a radius of thousands of miles, so after running away from the two clusters of spiritual fire, several people began to divide and cooperate, Wen Wan and Chen Peng came to set up the formation, and the others chased and intercepted them......

When everyone had harvested, Lin Shaobai and Zhang Xiaoming and others were late, watching a few people collect spiritual fires "in full swing", and their bowels were blue.

In this world of flames where molten iron turns gold, mana is consumed extremely quickly, and every once in a while, everyone has to fly high in the air to catch their breath, and the violent explosions from time to time also make people fearful.

Qin Chuan secretly let Yaya out, these flames were simply the best delicacy for her, and he himself also received three clusters of spiritual fires, one cluster was intended to be refined by himself, one cluster was given to Mu Yi Lian'er, and the remaining cluster was kept for backup, or handed over to the sect.

Before leaving the Flaming Mountain, he planned to get a few burning stones and go back to study them.

He poured water on it, but found that it had almost exploded instead of extinguishing the fire, and then buried it with sand, which was also burned, and finally he used a lot of weak water, which barely extinguished the flame on a stone.

He thought that these stones would be very dense after calcination, but when he got his hands on them, he found that the texture was extremely light, and he could see that the surface was covered with fine pores that could not be seen by the naked eye, which made him even more interested in this material that he had never seen before.

"Monkey, you said the stone on this Flaming Mountain came from the Sun Star?"

"That's right, there are several more flaming mountains like this, but they're all far from here!"

"Fu Yuanqing, what do you think about this?"

"This flame mountain has existed thousands of years ago, and the flames could reach up to a dozen zhang at that time, and now it is only one or two zhang, and it is estimated that it will not take long to extinguish, so I estimate that those stones should be some kind of very burn-resistant fuel!"

Qin Chuan nodded secretly, he also thought so, and the constant explosions were a bit similar to small nuclear explosions, maybe these stones were an unprecedented material that was more prone to fusion.

Half a day later, the eleven-man team left the range of the Flaming Mountain, and then found a slightly cooler place to rest.

Lin Shaobai exchanged glances with Zhang Xiaoming and the others, and then coughed lightly and said, "Although there is a little gain this time, I don't think Qin Daoyou is suitable to continue to be the captain!"

"Lao Lin, I don't like to listen to you speak with a clear conscience, is this called a little harvest? A cluster of spiritual fire can catch up with half of the harvest of the previous few days, if you want to be the captain, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush!"

"What is a bad conscience, I am also for everyone's good, forget it, if you don't change the captain, you won't change, I think it's more appropriate for us to go west next!" he directly changed the topic.

"Yes, I always feel a little unstable further south!" Su Yifeng echoed.

"I have a hunch that we will definitely have a great harvest to the west!"

"Come on, Lao Zhang, do you also want to learn from Lao Qin's whims?" Chu Tianlong joked, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Xiaoming's old face was slightly red, and he did not argue.

Qin Chuan also smiled and said, "Since you all plan to go west, let's go west!"

Chen Peng is old and serious, and he doesn't want serious disagreements in the team, so he also said: "Brother Qin has always been very competent as the captain of this team, I think everyone can't deny this, this captain is naturally still up to him, as for Lin Daoyou, it is better to go west, anyway, you don't have a clear goal, so choose to go west!"

The direction was set, and after the trimming was completed, the eleven-person team began to move westward, I don't know if the good luck ran out, and the next harvest has been bad, at first it can be explained that it is too close to the Flame Mountain, but after flying more than 10,000 miles, the harvest has not increased, but has decreased.

"Damn, it's been a long time, and I've found such a thing!" Chu Tianlong scolded, and put a Wind Demon Copper Ore that could barely be called a spiritual material into the storage bracelet.

"yes, I think it's been searched, look there," Su Yifei said, pointing to an ancient pine forest.

Everyone came over to see that this ancient pine forest is rich in Poria cocos, and in several places, there are obvious traces of human excavation, and the footprints on the ground are still very fresh.

Chu Tianlong walked up to Zhang Xiaoming's side, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, it seems that your premonition is not very bright, tsk, I said why did I gain so little, it turned out that I was picking up rags behind other people's butts!"

Lin Shaobai, who was not far away, heard this, and his face had a fever, this was simply a naked slap in the face, but he had nothing to say, and when the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to vent, he suddenly heard a beast roar from behind the peak where the ancient pine forest was located, and he decided to take the beast out of anger.

When he flew to the back of the mountain, he found a group of people besieging two monsters that were five or six feet long, with heads like wild boars, fangs like elephants, and black fur like steel needles.

The defense of the two-headed monster is amazing, and the attack is also very strong, but they don't know how to fly, so no matter how they roar, they can only be beaten passively.

When Lin Shaobai noticed the young man in Xuanyi who was the leader, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the group of monks also found him, and the young man in Xuanyi jokingly said, "Hehe, such a coincidence, is this a narrow road?"

"Jiang Rui, this is the Taishi Realm, our grievances will be counted when we return to the sect!"

The young man in Xuanyi sneered, "What grievances do we have? You are just my defeated subordinate, and you have been trying to get back on the field!"

"You... Hmph, whatever you say, the master will not be accompanied!" Lin Shaobai turned around and left, what he said in his mouth was hard, but doing so was tantamount to softening, but the young man in Xuanyi named Jiang Rui obviously didn't intend to let him go.

"Wait, did I let you go?"

Lin Shaobai turned around, his face was unusually ugly, "What do you want?"

"I heard that you've made a lot of progress in kendo recently, why don't we learn from each other?"

Lin Shaobai knew that he was not an opponent at the moment, but letting him say the soft words in person was tantamount to breaking his Dao heart, and when he was in a dilemma, Zhang Xiaoming flew over, "Senior Brother Jiang, everyone is the same door, why bother to make saber rattling, if you want to fight, you have to wait for later, I think it's better to forget it now!"

"Oh, it turns out that your kid is with him, okay, I'll give you a face!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, then let's go first!" Zhang Xiaoming pulled Lin Shaobai and was about to leave, and Jiang Rui's voice came from behind, "Wait~"

"Senior brother, is there anything else?"

"Leave your harvest these days behind!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't understand this yet, of course it's life money!"

"You..." even Zhang Xiaoming's face was difficult to look at at this time, he didn't expect Jiang Rui to be so domineering.

Qin Chuan and the others had already arrived, and the conversation between the two sides was naturally heard, "Brother Kong, is this the Jiang Rui you said?"

"It's him, the first person among the foundation building monks in Zhongzhou back then, he is decisive and ruthless, I'm afraid it's hard to be good today!"

Qin Chuan nodded, then turned to Zhang Xiaomo and asked, "Zhang Daoyou, since you are from the same family, why did you make such a fuss?"

"Alas... Speaking of it, it is also ugly, there are many factions in Taiyi Sect, Lin Shaobai's master and Jiang Rui's master are mortal enemies, and the two sides have fought fiercely, almost making them endless, so..."

"So that's the case!" Qin Chuan knew in his heart, similar situations existed in all sects and sects, and he had also heard of several major factions in the Hades King Sect, if it weren't for the elders above, maybe it would have become a pot of porridge long ago.

At this time, Lin Shaobai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and started a fight with the guy named Jiang Rui to prepare for a fight.
