Chapter 21: Flame Beast!
"Boom!" Just when Li Yan had already come to the bottom of the crack above the cave and was about to climb up, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and then, not far from his side, the rock wall was suddenly pierced through a big hole, and a demon beast more than a foot long and with red scales all over its body came out of it.
"It's ...... Flame Armor Beast!" Seeing this demon beast that suddenly appeared, Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then screamed.
The flame armor beast is an evolved version of the pangolin, because it lives next to the magma all the year round, so the scale armor has become as red as the flame, this demon beast is very good at making holes, and the most favorite thing this flame armor beast eats is things like scorpions.
"Hiss!" I have to say that the demon beast is unity, as soon as they saw the invasion of foreign enemies, these rock scorpions immediately let go of their hatred for the egg thief, and immediately launched an attack on the flame armor beast.
"Click!" Several of the strongest rock scorpions saw the appearance of the flame armor beast, and wanted to quickly solve the other party, and immediately commanded all the rock scorpions in the cave to attack the fire armor beast.
"Moo!" the arrogant flame beast raised its neck, the red scales of its whole body continued to stir, he didn't pay attention to those little rock scorpions at all, just glanced at the rock scorpion king eggs not far away, and then looked at the rock scorpions that were more than a foot long.
"Damn, it's an egg thief again!" Seeing the flame armor beast looking at the rock scorpion egg with burning eyes, Li Yan immediately understood the reason why it appeared here, it was obviously also coming for the egg of the rock scorpion king.
"Ding Ding Ding!" Countless small rock scorpions continued to attack the Flame Armor Beast, but their sharp tail needles could not break through the Flame Armor Beast's defense at all, and the Flame Armor Beast's sharp claws were just a stroke, and more than a dozen rock scorpions about a foot long beside him were suddenly split, which showed how sharp the claws of the Flame Armor Beast were.
Li Yan estimated that the cultivation of this flame armor beast should also be at the peak of the acquired realm, but the aura emanating from its body was a little stronger than those largest rock scorpions, coupled with the restraint factor of natural enemies, Li Yan was very skeptical that this group of rock scorpions could deal with this flame armor beast.
"Quack!!" At this time, the four big rock scorpions sensed this situation, and they also took action, they scattered, and then formed a circle of encirclement, surrounding the flame armor beast in the middle, and then under the cover of those small rock scorpions, they launched attacks on the fire armor beast one after another.
"When~!" A large rock scorpion's sharp tail needle attacked fiercely on the thick scale armor of the flame armor, and a white mark suddenly appeared on the red scale armor, although it did not break through the defense of the flame armor beast, but it still played a great effect, and the powerful power still passed through the scale armor to the body of the flame armor.
"Moo!" the Flame Armor Beast snapped in pain, then raised its sharp claws and launched an attack on several large rock scorpions.
"Ding Ding Dong!" The battle between the rock scorpion and the flame armor beast became more and more intense, and it had even begun to affect Li Yan on the side.
"Huh!" A fierce attack flew past Li Yan's side, and Li Yan's face immediately had an extra bloodstain.
"I'd better leave quickly!" Li Yan thought, and then jumped towards the crack above.
"Boom!" At this moment, the scorpion tail of a large rock scorpion hit the crack, and for a while, the gravel flew all over the place, and Li Yan was also sent out.
"Damn, what's going on here? I'm leaving, can't I just join in the fun?" Li Yan was not far from the Yanjia Beast at this time, and as soon as the two sides started fighting, Li Yan was immediately affected, he didn't have the hard body of the Yanjia Beast and the Rock Scorpion, if he was hit casually, he would definitely be whining.
"Huh!" At this moment, above Li Yan, the huge rock was shaken and fell, Li Yan rolled over on the ground to dodge, and her body rolled to the big hole where the flame armor beast came out.
"Death is death!" Li Yan looked at the big hole in front of him, gritted his teeth, and rolled in, and said silently in his heart: "God bless, I hope that it is not the nest of the Yanjia Beast!"
"Knock knock...... Bang!" Li Yan rolled in the hole for a long time, and finally landed.
"Damn, this is the second time!" Li Yan stood up, dusted off his body, and said very depressedly.
Standing up, Li Yan looked around and found that this was a cave, and deeper down, there was a sound of heat flow and a burst of water flowing, hearing this sound, Li Yan said softly: "It is recorded in the book that the Yanjia beast likes to live near an active volcano with magma underground, and the further this cave goes, the hotter it becomes, and the sound of water flowing, will there be magma in it?"
"Go and see!" As he spoke, Li Yan followed the tunnel towards the depths of the cave, and the further he went, the more Li Yan found that the tunnel of the cave was more spacious, and it was leading downward, and the further he went, the more he seemed to go to the depths of the earth.
Frowning, he walked down slowly, the further down, the higher the temperature, and the original reddish light had turned red, at this moment, the temperature around him had reached a terrifying level, and the clothes on his body were all hot, Li Yan obviously felt that there was a burning sensation on his skin.
"It's so hot, it looks like there's definitely lava underground. Wiping his sweat, Li Yan said with a smile, now he can hear a burst of 'poof' sound from below, Li Yan is sure that it is definitely the sound of magma tumbling.
After walking a distance of 100 meters, Li Yan finally walked through a long tunnel, and what appeared in front of him was a spacious space, full of stalactites and stalagmites, and the bottom was the rolling magma flowing, and the whole cave was scorching.
This is the underground lava, the magma river below is about ten zhang wide, one end of the magma river gushes out of the ground, the other end is connected to the underground tunnel, I don't know where it flows, the magma rolls, tumbles out a large amount of magma bubbles, and then explodes, making a crackling sound.
"What a spectacular sight!" Li Yan approached the magma river, looked at the fiery river in front of him, and said with a dry throat.
"The cultivation of the first stage of the Vajra Body just needs to rely on the power of earth fire, the magma here is so hot, the temperature is much higher than that of ordinary flames, if you can cultivate here, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" Li Yan looked at this hot magma river, secretly happy.
"Hey, it's a pity that this place is the nest of that flame armor beast, I'd better leave quickly, otherwise if that guy comes back, I really have nowhere to escape, I hope that guy and those rock scorpions will die together." Li Yan sighed lightly, and then walked out the same way.
Li Yan followed the original path, and soon returned to the place where he fell, where there was a passage leading to the top, Li Yan estimated that it might be the way the Yanjia beast usually went out, so he began to climb up along the passage, and after climbing for more than an hour, Li Yan finally returned to the ground.
In a large cave at the back of a low hill, a young man in ragged clothes ran out of the cave as quickly as possible.
"Finally to the exit, this damn passage is really long, I'm tired!" said the boy as soon as he ran out of the cave, then sat down on the ground with a depressed face.
This young man is none other than Li Yan, who has wandered from the rock scorpion nest to the nest of the flame armor beast, and then regained his life.
"Anyway, where am I now? I can't have already left the White Deer Mountain Range, right?" After resting for a while, Li Yan stood up and began to observe the surrounding situation, he ran wildly in that long and outrageous tunnel for an hour, he estimated that he should have run far away by now, if that passage left the White Deer Mountain Range, it was okay, what he was most afraid of was that if that passage went deep into the interior of the White Deer Mountain Range, it would be over.
But fortunately, Li Yan walked a few miles, observed for a while, and found that he should have arrived at the very edge of the Bailu Mountain Range, because he found a lot of human footprints here.
"Whew~!" Fortunately, the passage did not go deep into the interior of the White Deer Mountain Range, otherwise it would have been miserable. Li Yan let out a sigh, and then said: "After coming out, the medicinal power of the Zhu Fruit in my body is almost uncontrollable, it seems that I have to find a place to refine it quickly, and then impact the Heavenly Realm." ”
