036 Fire Lotus
Youlan Mu rubbed his stiff neck, coughed dryly, and stood up from the ground, although he was only frozen for a moment, the strange cold breath was still trapped in his body, making him shiver.
"Po Jun, since you have a way to deal with it, why didn't you take out that black knife earlier?" Youlan Mu couldn't help but complain
The cold attribute of the black knife obviously restrained the scorpion-shaped monster, but the broken army remained silent until the last moment of life and death, which made Youlan Mu very dissatisfied.
"In order to exercise your actual combat ability, unless you are dying, I will never make a move." Po Jun said ruthlessly
Hearing such an answer, Youlan Mu's breath couldn't help but stagnate.
"In the future, I will not remind you of the dangers around you, if you really want to become stronger, you have to rely on your own strength to survive." Po Jun said solemnly.
Seeing Pojun's serious appearance, it didn't seem like a joke, Youlan Mu knew in his heart and nodded solemnly.
"Pojun, I don't have a weapon, why don't you lend me that black knife?" Youlan Mu thought about the problem of attribute hedging, that ice-attribute black knife was definitely a big killer in the scorching magma world.
"Are you sure you can hold it now?" Pojun asked rhetorically.
Only then did Youlan Mu realize a problem, the black knife would freeze him into ice cubes as soon as he got close, let alone holding the knife, he couldn't even move a finger, how could he use it. In desperation, Youlan Mu had to dispel this unrealistic idea.
After dealing with the wound on his leg, Youlan Mu walked to the side of the corpse of the scorpion-shaped monster and took a closer look, the scorpion-shaped monster was shattered into more than a dozen pieces after freezing, although it was somewhat broken, but it could vaguely recognize its appearance before its death.
This scorpion-shaped monster has a pale red body, only the tip of the pincer-shaped chelicerae is red, a few young teeth can be seen in a row of sharp mouthparts, and the round eyes are full of fear.
"This monster is not yet an adult." Po Jun solemnly made a conclusion.
"What? Not underage! Youlan Mu suddenly felt a little chill on his back, and the scorpion-shaped monster that had been fighting with him for a long time and almost killed him was actually just a young beast that was still in the growth stage. If he encounters an adult monster, doesn't that mean he doesn't even have the strength to resist!
Youlan Mu took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to look for useful clues in the pieces of minced meat. The body structure of scorpion-shaped monsters is not much different from that of ordinary spirit beasts, and they also have internal organs, but their shells are very tough, and it is not easy to destroy the carapace and grind the flesh inside.
Just as Youlan Mu was rummaging around, he noticed a bright light shining in a piece of minced meat, and Youlan Mu curiously broke open the minced flesh and took out a small milky white ball from the corpse of the scorpion-shaped monster, although it was only the size of a spirit pill. but hard as a stone. With the help of Youlan Mu, he failed to pinch the ball.
"Broken Army, is this a beast pill?" Youlan Mu asked.
"No, judging from age, underage spirit beasts do not have beast pills, and there is no rich aura in this small ball, but it is full of life breath, in my opinion, it should be the essence of life absorbed by monsters after devouring flesh and blood."
"Life Essence?" You Lanmu thought of the painful and hideous faces under the rock patterns.
"Put this ball away, maybe it can be used to refine the elixir that increases lifespan." Pojun is very optimistic about the value of milky white balls.
Youlan Mu found a jade bottle and put the expensive milky white ball into it, and then put it in the storage bag.
"By the way, Po Jun, how could that lady's short sword suddenly burst just now, is it too powerful after the fourteen rounds of spiritual power fluctuations are superimposed? Or is it that the inferior spirit weapon simply can't withstand the impact of the fourteen rounds of spiritual power fluctuations? ”
Youlan Mu remembered a question in the battle with the scorpion-shaped monster just now, if it weren't for the sudden burst of the lady's short sword, which scratched his thigh, and he couldn't escape quickly, he wouldn't have fought the monster in close quarters.
Po Jun said calmly, "It stands to reason that the lower-grade spirit weapon should be able to withstand the impact of fourteen rounds of spiritual power fluctuations after superposition, I think there is a problem with your short sword itself." ”
Hearing the analysis of the broken army, Youlan Mu sighed helplessly, he could lose a lot this time, not only the two spirit swords were completely destroyed, but even his body was damaged.
"What's next, are we going to continue exploring inside?" Youlan Mu asked in the sea of knowledge.
"Of course, our goal is to find the Eye of the Power Tower, steal the breath of fire, and refine the flesh." Po Jun said with great certainty.
Youlan Mu took out the jade slip and re-planned the route of the journey, found a path a little farther away, and headed towards the center of the first layer of the Flame Hell.
Along the way, Youlan Mu avoided many large carnivores, and also found many spirit beasts that had not been recorded before. I have to say that the scope of the Flame Hell is amazing.
Walking along the edge of a magma lake towards the hinterland, perhaps in good shape, Youlanmu found a fire lotus in the magma only two meters from the shore.
The fire lotus is only the size of a palm, with bright and charming fiery red petals, and its roots are all soaked in magma, absorbing the energy of the magma. The petals stand proudly on a scorching lava.
Youlan Mu's toes were close to the shore, the jade shovel in his hand was attached to the surface of the magma, and he gently shoveled it on the stem of the fire lotus, and a fiery red fire lotus was immediately put into the jade bucket by Youlan Mu.
Digging the first fire lotus, Youlan Mu walked around the magma lake excitedly, hoping to find the second fire lotus in the lava near the shore, but after walking for a long time, he found nothing, it seems that it is not an easy task to pick a hundred catties of fire lotus and leave here.
Just when Youlan Mu was about to leave, he suddenly saw a proud fire lotus in the center of the magma lake, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked around for tools that could be used to cross the magma, and finally Youlan Mu turned out a three-square-meter stone slab from the pile of rubble dozens of meters away.
Youlan Mu put the slate in the magma lake, and seeing that the slate had no intention of sinking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped straight up with his feet, and pushed the slate to slide slowly in the magma with the inertia of the leap.
After moving about a dozen meters, the speed of the slate decreased significantly, and there was a faint tendency to sink into the magma. Youlan Mu urged the spiritual power, and directly acted on the surface of the magma through the stone slab, and an invisible thrust pushed the stone slab forward, just like playing on the magma lake.
Seeing that the slate slipped to the center of the magma lake, Youlan Mu seized the opportunity and waved the jade shovel to shovel three times on the stem of the fire lotus, but the difference was that the fire lotus was not shoveled down, and was still standing upright in the center of the magma.
"It's strange, how can it be so hard?" Youlan Mu circled around the fire lotus in confusion, and then made a fierce force, holding the jade shovel with both hands and smashing it on the stem of the fire lotus.
"Poof!" With a muffled sound, the stem of the fire lotus was slightly folded forward at an angle, but it was still tenaciously connected with the root system, which couldn't help but make Youlan Mu puzzled.
"Could it be that I came across a hundred-year-old fire lotus, so the stem is so thick that it is difficult to cut off?" Youlan Mu rubbed his chin and was puzzled.
Just as Youlan Mu was guessing, the entire magma lake suddenly trembled, almost throwing Youlan Mu off the stone slab.
The surface of the lava lake began to ripple slightly, as if something was waking up from the depths of the lake.
"Whew!!" Suddenly, the magma in the center of the magma lake bursts open, and a strange fish ten meters long jumps out of it. It was covered in dark red scales, its round golden eyes the size of a cowbell were particularly fierce, and the most striking thing was that it also had a long tentacle on its forehead, and a flower resembling a fire lotus bloomed at the tip of the tentacle.
Youlan Mu was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a shocked look, and even the spiritual power under his feet couldn't help but slow down by three points, and then his face changed, and he scolded secretly, "Damn broken army, you really didn't remind me!" ”
"Haha!" The broken army, who had endured it for a long time in the sea of knowledge, laughed loudly.
"Hiss~" The strange fish stood on the surface of the hot magma, the dark red fins on both sides made a threatening sound, and a pair of angry golden fish eyes stared at Youlan Mu.
Youlan Mu said secretly: "Oops." Slowly glide to the shore, slowing down as much as possible so as not to irritate the strange fish closely.
Suddenly, the strange fish moved, and quickly swam towards Youlan Mu, and at the same time opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit at the human who dared to attack its tentacles.
Youlan Mu's complexion changed, and spiritual power gushed out, pushing the rocks to row rapidly towards the shore a hundred meters away. Even if Youlan Mu is confident, he will not fight with the other party on the magma, not to mention the strength of the other party, the harsh combat environment alone makes it difficult for him to exert his strength.
Seeing Youlan Mu's intentions, the strange fish quickly swam in front of Youlan Mu, opening its mouth as if to swallow this bold guy directly.
Seeing the strange fish in front of him, there was no way to dodge, the sea of Youlan Mu Qi was running at full speed, the spiritual power was vigorous, and the stone slab under his feet increased again, when the distance between the two sides was only less than five meters, Youlan Mu knocked lightly under his feet, and the front of the stone slab was warped, trembling violently twice on the magma, and then flew up directly.
The strange fish didn't expect the food that slipped to its mouth to slip away, and immediately a fish came forward in the magma, chased the traces of the stone slab, opened its big mouth and bit straight down.
Seeing that the strange fish was in hot pursuit, and there was a posture of chasing and killing to the end, Youlan abandoned the stone slab, and jumped directly on the back of the strange fish with a force under his feet, and then as soon as his foot stepped on a large fish scale, he ran forward with all his might.
The strange fish bit the stone slab in mid-air and fell freely into the magma lake.
During this time, Youlan Mu completed the acceleration process on the wide back of the strange fish, jumped again before the strange fish fell back into the magma lake, flipped a few idling in the air, and landed steadily on the shore.
Seeing Youlan Mu fleeing back to the shore, the strange fish howled in the sky, and the fish's tail jerked in the magma lake, and the three-meter-high magma wave directly rushed to the place where Youlan Mu stood.
Youlan Mu's expression changed greatly, and he galloped into the distance without stopping.
In the next few days, with the lesson of that strange fish, Youlan Mu's actions became more cautious. There were a few times when the fire lotus was clearly in front of him, and Youlan Mu hesitated for a long time but chose to leave. There are corpses and bones all over the place, but only the fire lotus is safe and sound, revealing a palpitating dead air. In the area where a fire lotus is located, there is not even a single bubble in the magma, and the silence is very strange.
Six days have passed, and Youlan Mu has only picked a total of six fire lotuses, which can be seen how difficult it is to find.
Looking at the six fire lotus flowers piled up in the jade bucket, Youlan Mu was curious and decided to try to absorb the fire lotus with the fire velvet technique.
When he placed his right hand near the fire lotus and ran the fire velvet technique, the bright fire lotus suddenly turned into a red cloud and drilled into his right wrist.
In vain, the dark blue pattern on the right wrist shone red, and even the bandage could not hide its bright light.
