Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Gates
"Little guy, I think you're good, why don't you follow me?" Xiang Chen was in the magma river, looking at the snake-like creature in front of him with a happy expression.
Yan Loach turned his little head and looked at Xiang Chen carefully, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Little guy, you have to cultivate by absorbing the heat in this speech, the heat here is higher than in this magma, how good it is for you to follow me!" Xiang Chen still didn't give up, and continued to abduct this more than one-meter-long loach.
Yan Loach's head turned over again, this time he seemed to understand what Xiang Chen meant, and cautiously moved forward, not missing it but still a little uneasy, the pain of the punch just now made it remember it vividly.
"Don't worry, I won't hit you again!" Xiang Chen said as he ran the Flame Spirit Technique, making the temperature around him even higher.
Oh......
A strange voice came from the flame loach, and the voice was mixed with this uneasy and interesting excitement. seems to like the warmth exuded by Yang Xiao very much.
"What's the matter, as long as you follow me, I will let you cultivate by my side in the future, it should be much faster than you cultivating in this magma river, and I can also take you outside, the outside world is very interesting!"
For Xiang Chen, Yan Loach is not just a name. This book of spirit beasts is circulated in this world, which records many powerful spirit beasts, among which the spirit beasts that are good at controlling fire should be headed by the fire dragon Jiao, the fire dragon Jiao is very powerful, and a big city can be destroyed in a breath.
However, it is impossible for the Fire Dragon Jiao to be tamed by others, because its strength is too strong for anyone to defeat him. However, although the fire dragon Jiao is powerful, there is a process of evolution, and the original form of the fire dragon Jiao is called the Yan Loach.
In fact, Xiang Chen had already sensed the existence of life in the magma river when he entered here, and at that time he guessed that it was Yan Loach, because only Yan Loach was a creature that liked to swim in the magma the most, and they regarded this hot magma as their best place to cultivate.
After being attacked, Xiang Chen was more sure of his thoughts, otherwise he would never have ventured into this magma river, with Xiang Chen's current cultivation, it is not difficult to avoid the attack of Yan Loach, although Yan Loach's attack is powerful, but it is also necessary to distinguish who is right, Xiang Chen has the blood of the Yan clan, and he is not afraid of the high temperature of the flames, although the temperature of this magma is not low, but it cannot hurt Xiang Chen.
Oh......
This little thing kept approaching Xiang Chen's side, and when it approached a certain distance, Xiang Chen suddenly increased the range of his flames, and suddenly covered the flame loach in it, and the flame loach let out a howl in surprise, and wanted to go out, but in the end, it felt that the flame made it very comfortable, and it began to hesitate.
At the moment when Yan Loach hesitated, Xiang Chen had already arrived at its side, and the hand that had been carrying this flame grabbed Yan Loach at once.
Whoa......
Yan Loach found out that it was not good and wanted to escape, but it was too late. After struggling a few times in a row, he didn't escape from Xiang Chen's palm, and Yan Loach was a little nervous.
"Don't struggle, you will have many benefits by following me, otherwise I will directly roast you with the flames!" The corners of Xiang Chen's mouth turned up slightly, and at the same time, the temperature of the black flame in his hand increased sharply.
Oh......
Feeling the temperature in Xiang Chen's hand, Yan Loach finally weakened and stopped struggling, it already felt that the flame temperature in the opponent's hand was extremely high, if it continued to struggle, the flame would definitely cause harm to itself, so Yan Loach could only give in.
"Hehe, that's right, you follow me, there are many benefits, you will know in the future!" Xiang Chen finished speaking, coiling Yan Loach's body around his arm.
After doing all this, Yang Xiao emerged from the magma river. When he surfaced, he found that the red stone bridge was gone, and there was no one around.
"Yan Loach, you are familiar with this place, tell me how to get back to that stone bridge!" Xiang Chen said softly into the sleeve of his robe.
Oh......
After listening to Xiang Chen's words, Yan Loach's little head emerged from the sleeve of his robe, and he recognized the direction, and his little head suddenly pointed in a direction.
"You are very well-behaved, as a reward, this Fire Cloud Pill will be given to you!" Xiang Chen Chong took out a round pill on his body.
As soon as this elixir appeared, Yan Loach became excited, opened his mouth and bit it, fortunately Xiang Chen reacted too quickly, otherwise it is estimated that even his fingers will be bitten.
This Huoyun Pill was originally an elixir used by the children of the Xiang family to cultivate, and the energy contained was not large, but it was very pure. Compared to the energy in this magma, it is much milder, and it does not take much time to refine.
Originally, Xiang Chen wasn't sure if this kind of thing was useful for Yan Loach, so he just took it out and tried it, but he didn't expect Yan Loach to like it very much, and swallowed it in one bite, and after swallowing it, those small eyes kept looking at Xiang Chen, as if he was still unsatisfied.
"Hehe, you're really greedy, but this thing won't be given to you today, if you want it, behave well, if I'm satisfied, there will be it tomorrow!" Xiang Chen smiled slightly, as if he had found something to get closer to Yan Loach.
Oh~
Yan Loach's little head kept shaking, as if nodding.
Yan Loach's performance was quite surprising to Xiang Chen, they all said that the spirit beast's intelligence is similar to that of a human, but Xiang Chen has not really seen it, today seeing the performance of this Yan Loach, he knew that this matter was true, this Yan Loach was a little surprised by Xiang Chen's words at the beginning, and it seemed to be clear what Xiang Chen wanted to express later.
......
Following the direction pointed by the Yan Loach, Xiang Chen walked all the way, although there was a lot of resistance in this magma, but it was nothing to Xiang Chen. In addition, the high temperature in this is just right for him to cultivate the Flame Spirit Technique, so in this magma, Xiang Chen not only did not feel uncomfortable, but on the contrary, his cultivation was still stable.
Originally, his cultivation was only in the early stage of the Creation Realm, and after a big battle before, the consumption was very huge, but after only staying in this magma river for such a while, he felt that his losses in the last war had been fully replenished, not only that, Xiang Chen also felt that his cultivation had improved a lot, and there were even some signs that he was about to enter the middle stage of the Creation Realm.
After about a quarter of an hour, Xiang Chen had already seen the shadow of the red stone bridge, and at this time, there was no one around the stone bridge, and they should have all entered the first row of halls of this ruins. However, Xiang Chen was not in a hurry at all, there might be many good things in front of him, but he had already obtained the biggest treasure of this trip, that is, Yan Loach. As time goes by, the loach will continue to grow, and this loach also has a very powerful ability, that is, treasure hunting, he is very sensitive to the spirit treasure or elixir with fire attributes, and carrying this little thing is equivalent to bringing a treasure finder with fire attributes.
"We'll go in later, you hide in my sleeve and don't come out, it's very dangerous here, don't let others find you!" Xiang Chen instructed Yan Loach.
Oh......
Yan Loach responded and retracted directly into Xiang Chen's robe sleeve, while Xiang Chen secretly ran the Yan Spirit Technique to wrap Yan Loach in a black flame.
This is a trick he came up with specifically for Yan Loach, which can maintain an extremely high temperature within a certain range, and Xiang Chen can also isolate this high temperature with spiritual power, so that others will not find out.
After doing all this, Xiang Chen's body jumped up from the magma river and landed on the red stone bridge.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Xiang Chen's steps immediately quickened and walked towards the first major hall.
Before entering the first major hall, Xiang Chen saw a long corridor. The hallway was a bit messy, and a few people had fallen to the floor of the hallway.
"There is indeed a mechanism here!" Xiang Chen frowned, he had thought of it before, but all such ruins would presumably set up mechanisms, but he didn't expect that he had just entered the gate and encountered a mechanism, and there were casualties.
Fortunately, these people's costumes did not have Xiang Jia and Jiang family, and Xiang Chen was also slightly relieved.
Xiang Chen jumped lightly and entered the corridor. He wasn't fast, and he wasn't sure if there were any other traps here, so he had to be careful.
Click......
Xiang Chen, who was walking, suddenly felt a lightness under his feet, and then there was a crisp sound! Xiang Chen hurriedly leaned over, this was an instinctive reaction.
Whoosh ......
Three sounds of breaking the sky, carrying these three heat waves flew over Xiang Chen's head.
"It's so dangerous!" Xiang Chen secretly rejoiced, fortunately his reaction was fast enough.
After this danger, the road behind the corridor became smoother. Maybe the people in front of him touched all the triggering mechanisms, but Xiang Chen didn't encounter any attacks.
Soon, Xiang Chen came to the first major hall, and there was a huge plaque in the middle of the main hall, which was written distortedly, which seemed to be ancient characters, but Xiang Chen didn't know it.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Xiang Chen saw that there was a large circular gap in the middle of the ground of the main hall, and flames appeared from time to time in the vacant position, like an oversized brazier.
The brazier was surrounded by weapons of all kinds, probably because of their age and the fact that they had been constantly smoked by the brazier, and which had decayed.
The walls around the hall were made of a strange black stone, and the walls were evenly arranged with braziers, the flames in which the flames had been extinguished, and the braziers had become decaying.
There were no corpses left in the main hall, there should be no mechanism here, and everyone who came here should have passed without any problems.
Although the scene in this hall is in decline, it seems that there will be nothing good left at all. But Xiang Chen didn't think much, he seemed to feel that something was calling him.
Turning the main hall, Xiang Chen saw three gates, all of which were already open. The people of the three major families and the city lord of the city of Jinglan should have entered through these three gates.
Xiang Chen chose the middle gate and walked in directly.
The reason why he chose this gate was because Xiang Chen felt a familiar atmosphere from this gate. In addition, when he walked to this gate, Yan Loach, who had been quiet in the sleeves of his robe, suddenly moved, which made Xiang Chen curious about the gate in the middle.
