"Senior Chen, it's like this, this matter has to be ...... from half a month ago"

Jiang Mingjing cleared his throat, and then told Chen Ping the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail.

It turned out that this matter had to start with two people, one was a Qi Practitioner named Duan Xiaoding, and the other was Jiang Yu, the shopkeeper of a shop on Konghu Island.

Duan Xiaoding has been cultivating on Chengkan Island all year round, and the two of them, who are more than 10,000 miles apart, would not have been intertwined.

But half a month ago, Duan Xiaoding boarded Konghu Island on a spirit boat and secretly sold something in Jiang's shop.

It was the eggshell that Chen Ping was holding, but there were more of them, there were five pieces.

As an old fritter in the business world, Jiang Yu saw at a glance that this eggshell was not ordinary.

So, while he gave Duan Xiaoding's treasure at a high price, he sent his entourage to follow this person to see if there would be any unexpected gains.

When the entourage came back to tell him that Xiao Ding stayed in the restaurant near the ferry and waited for the next boat trip, Jiang Yu immediately reported the matter to the second elder Jiang Mingjing and presented the eggshell.

Jiang Mingjing, as a foundation building monk, naturally has a vision and means that cannot be compared with the juniors who practice qi.

He sensed that just this small eggshell fragment contained a vast natural ice aura, which was very wonderful.

Thinking of his granddaughter's Ice Spirit Root, a thought popped up in Jiang Mingjing's heart.

He tried to let Jiang Peiling absorb the energy in it, and was pleased to find that devouring a piece of eggshell was actually equivalent to taking a few four-striped high-quality pills, which could directly increase his granddaughter's cultivation.

Jiang Mingjing immediately made a decision and went to the ferry to stop Duan Xiaoding.

Seeing that the Zhuji monk came to the door, Duan Xiaoding was terrified, how dare he hide it, and honestly explained what happened.

One day, the volcano erupted on Chengkan Island, and he happened to chase a first-order demon beast into the magma land.

In the ground that had not yet softened, he found something shiny.

faintly felt that eggshells were not ordinary things, Duan Xiaoding did not choose Haichang City, which was closer, for the sake of safety, but took the spirit boat of Konghu Island, planning to dispose of these eggshell fragments in a foreign land that no one knew, who knew that in the end, he would still be targeted.

Jiang Mingjing was immediately overjoyed, made a decision, and quietly took Jiang Peiling to Chengkan Island to find out without telling the Great Elder.

The reason why he didn't report it to the Great Elder was mainly because he had a lot of selfishness.

The eggshell is extremely strange, and it is of great help to the granddaughter, and if you find a more precious treasure, it will be a windfall.

You must know that the second elder of a family in his dignity does not even have a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Second, he felt sorry for Jiang Peiling, who had just built a foundation, and wanted to take her out to breathe and adjust her mood.

So, taking advantage of the Great Elder's retreat, the two of them drove the spirit boat to the Chenjia sea area, but unexpectedly called Chen Ping, who arrived first, to ambush him.

What happened next, Jiang Mingjing kept silent.

I can only sigh, the cultivation world is really full of all kinds of coincidences, maybe he set off half a day earlier or half a day late, and he won't be able to meet Chen Ping.

"What other information did Xiao Ding reveal in that paragraph?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

Jiang Mingjing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "He said that in the past two years, the interval between volcanic eruptions on the island has been greatly shortened, but the local cultivators have organized several people to go to investigate before and after, but they have not found any useful clues. ”

"Jiang Xiaoyou, junior sister."

Chen Ping shouted, his eyes flickering, and said, "If you two are tired, it is better to take a rest, I am going to enter the volcano to explore the truth." ”

Jiang Mingjing was slightly stunned, and the next moment he understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, senior, Pei Ling and I are guarding for our seniors outside the mountain to prevent outsiders from breaking in." ”

"You'd better sleep first."

Shaking his head, Chen Ping said in his mouth, his pupils flashed with a strange blue glow, and the ancestor of the Jiang family suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell down groggy.

As soon as the seal was pressed, the two-headed second-order Dark Night Golden Luo Spider puppets suddenly appeared.

Throwing the bodies of the two on the spider's back, Chen Ping commanded the puppet to burrow into the ground.

He didn't feel the slightest guilt about stopping the ancestors and grandchildren of the Jiang family from exploring the treasure with him, on the contrary, he was protecting them.

To put it mildly, if a valuable treasure or a great secret is discovered in the volcano, what should the two of them do?

Although the seedlings of the mutated earth spirit root are worth cultivating, they are nothing in front of some heaven and earth treasures.

Pitch-black smoke rises from the crater high up in the sky.

Chen Ping stared at it, this was the volcano that had just erupted.

With a toe step, his body flew up the mountain in a blink of an eye.

The black ash is like black snow, slowly falling down.

When I got closer, the black snow spiraled and fell slowly like a huge crow feather.

Staring at the huge hole filled with magma under his feet, Chen Ping jumped straight into it without saying a word.

It's not that he supports it, this hot place, for the Yuan Dan monk who majored in fire attribute exercises, is like an ordinary spiritual mountain blessed land, like a fish in water.

Everything in the cavern is made of lava erosion, and it is surrounded by boiling hot magma.

Spreading out his divine sense, Chen Ping searched carefully inch by inch.

Due to the limitations of the environment, the limit of his divine consciousness suffered a slight weakening, but the impact was not very large.

"That's not right."

After diving for half a cup of tea, Chen Ping suddenly paused, and his movements quickly stopped.

Although his speed is not fast, it can be estimated that he has moved forward hundreds of feet.

If it is a natural volcanic space, wouldn't it have gone deep into the bottom of the sea?

Chen Ping frowned, and after thinking about it, he cast a spell illusion and glanced at it little by little with his divine sense.

After a moment, his eyes flashed, and he looked intently at a rock wall somewhere.

Because as soon as his divine sense touched the rock wall, it was unceremoniously bounced back, and he couldn't penetrate half a minute at all, let alone explore the real situation inside.

When the illusion eyes were running at full strength, he found that there were lines of fluorescence on it, almost like air, which would not have been discovered if it weren't for the addition of the pupil technique.

It seems that the interior of this volcano has been banned by people with great powers.

"It's really a phantom array."

Chen Ping's face changed slightly, and he thought secretly.

can resist his divine sense detection, at least a third-level formation.

But why would anyone set up a big array here?

Chengkan Island is only an insignificant first-class island, and it is not suitable for a high-level monk's dojo at all.

Stretching out his fingers, Chen Ping gently stroked the rock wall for a while.

Although he couldn't identify the exact type of phantom array, the unfathomable spiritual power contained in it still made Chen Ping's heart tremble violently.

Dan Qi!

There was actually a trace of golden pill in these prohibitions, even if it was thin and abnormal, it made Chen Ping feel a huge threat.

It turned out to be a big array laid by Brother Jindan!

Silently retracting his palm, Chen Ping held his chin and pondered quietly for a moment.

This prohibition has existed for at least a few decades, and the golden pill aura in it has almost dissipated, indicating that the predecessors of the formation have given up this foothold for some reason, and they have not even taken back the big array.

A trace of struggle floated on his face, and then Chen Ping seemed to have made up his mind, retreating to the exit position, stepping on the sword lotus retreat light on the soles of his feet, and the magic of the Demon Luo Shadow Step was also read to the last word and was ready to go.

Then, Chen Ping held the Five Elements Pure Yang Sword, and with a random wave of the void, a sharp sword light hit the prohibition, rippling in circles of arc ripples.

After waiting for more than twenty breaths with a nervous expression, seeing that there was no movement coming from the belly of the mountain, Chen Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief, and held the Pure Yang Sword and danced vigorously.

This time, dozens of cyan sword lights swam out from the outside world, and then connected in one place, turning into a lifelike dragon, and the sword qi swept towards the prohibition.

"Zila"

The forbidden white light on the stone wall flashed, hundreds of petals spun and danced rapidly, and a white light shield suddenly contracted, instantly blocking the attack of Qinglian's sword qi.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ping was not surprised at all.

Although the forbidden body should be a phantom array, it is normal to have some defensive abilities at the same time.

Soon, the spiritual power that supported the stegosaurus passed away, but the stone wall stood still, as if there was no damage in the slightest.

However, after Chen Ping's phantom eyes swept over, a ray of joy appeared on his face.

Under the consumption of the stegosaurus, the prohibition on the wall has been reduced by one percent, and the two hundred threads of golden pill qi mixed with it have also disappeared.

Chen Ping pursed his lips, the Pure Yang Sword retreated back into his sleeve, followed closely, he closed his hands to his chest, one palm was covered with a layer of white cold light, and the other appeared with purple and blue flames, and then opened his mouth, "poof", two egg-sized flames sank down, and rushed towards the ban.

The Ice Spirit Crystal Flame and the Dry Blue Purple Flame burned on the surface of the rock wall at the same time, intertwining with the petals generated by the ban, and desperately devouring each other.

For a while, it was impossible to see which side had the upper hand.

Chen Ping sat down cross-legged and began to communicate with the two spiritual flames, intending to boil the frog in warm water and grind off the prohibition little by little.

Three hours later.

Just when the mana in his body was only two percent left, he only heard a few strange "poof" wails from below, and the light curtain composed of hundreds of petals completely burst open, and this large array without a monk was finally cracked.

Chen Ping got up silently, carefully released his divine sense, and swept around the hinterland of the volcano.

Sure enough, with the shattering of the phantom array, the underground space immediately returned to its true appearance, and its size was only about a hundred zhang in diameter.

The rock wall that had previously carved the ban was gone, and there was a narrow passage blocked by magma in its original place.

Chen Ping's heart moved, he jumped off the crater again, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the two spiritual flames returned to the dantian.

With the help of his Phantom Eye, he could clearly see that there was a blue area in the magma channel, exuding an extreme cold, which was incompatible with the active flames around him.

The magma in this passage has a pure black color, as if it has been compressed to the extreme by a small cold air, and it will explode anytime and anywhere.

Chen Ping's eyes shrank, and he knew the reason for the frequent eruptions of the Chengkan Island volcano in recent years.

The place where the ice spiritual power gathered was a pile of cracked eggshells.

After decades of sedimentation, the magma in the channel condensed more and more, and under the rejection of the eggshell, the attribute of water and fire incompatibility reached its peak, thus bursting out a huge energy fluctuation.

Every time the magma bursts out of one or a few eggshells, the power of ice and fire levels off, and the raging volcano returns to its tranquility.

After figuring out the key, Chen Ping no longer hesitated, squinted his eyes unhurriedly, broke into the passage, and looked left and right to observe.

The walls of the passage were as smooth as jade, and hundreds of night pearls flickered on them, but they were covered by black magma, and the place that should have been open was extremely dark.

After a few breaths, Chen Ping swam to the ice-blue area.

The cracked eggshells seemed to weigh more than 10,000 catties, and they were not moved even if they were washed by the magma torrent.

With a wave of the sleeve robe, a brief vacuum appeared in the vicinity.

Then, Chen Ping lightly touched the ground, and the hundreds of eggshells immediately "buzzed" and levitated, combining one by one, and finally turned into a head-sized ice egg.

But this egg is not complete, Chen Ping visually examined, there are probably more than two dozen pieces missing.

Moreover, there are several small tooth marks on the surface of some eggshells.

Chen Ping focused on observing, and the rows of four or four neat tooth marks seemed to have been left by Terran babies.

Could it be ......

Chen Ping's heart tightened suddenly, and then a terrifying coolness arose.

Guan Ni'er never hatches from an egg, does she?

He knew that the cultivation world was mysterious, and anything grotesque and strange could happen.

But this is too unbelievable, completely beyond Chen Ping's cognition.

After all, he had carefully examined Guan Ni'er's body, and this woman, whether it was the structure of the meridians all over her body, or the location of her internal organs and dantian, was exactly the same as the human race, and there was no trace of alien characteristics.
