Volume 1 Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 45 Convergence

"Come, let my brother help you take off your clothes."

The puppet corpse with only a skeleton left, and the ghostly eyes floated towards Ji Ning, and his claws were as sharp as sharp knives.

What he calls stripping is skinning.

Ji Ning put on a fist fight head-on, his breath was condensed, and Qi Lan, Xue Zhongjing, and Zhen Xixi around him also reached out to help.

The four of them fought against the oncoming skeleton puppet, their blood and sword light flashed, but the skeleton puppet only collided head-on, and with its tenacious body, it directly defused the attack of the four.

With a bang, the smoke and dust dispersed, and Ji Ning was directly pushed into the wall.

The boy's face was pale, blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, and his hands were pressed by one of the bone claws of the feminine thing, and the other bone claw had already climbed into his eyes, and his face was full of excitement and excitement, as if he wanted to gouge out his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, mink, it'll be fine right away, you won't have to carry this heavy clothes on your back right away."

"Damn!"

In the rear, Qi Lan's faces turned pale, and a little weakness appeared on their faces, the strength of the yin thing was too strong, and they were far from being opponents.

Unless, at the cost of his own life, he forcibly uses the Canggu Bell, and there is still a chance to suppress that yin thing for a short time.

But what can be done after suppression, Canggu Zhong has been exposed, how can this huge underground palace still have a place for them? Cui Jibo will definitely lead someone to attack them, even Xue Zhongjing......

Qi Lan shook his head violently, his face was ruthless, now is not the time to think about those things, Ji Ning is about to be killed, he can't watch it no matter what.

Swish!

In an instant, a small bronze bell appeared in the palm of his hand.

But at this time, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom!"

The scorching magma suddenly boiled, turning into pillars of fire that soared into the sky, illuminating the surroundings of the underground palace.

Someone didn't have time to dodge, so he was directly hit by a pillar of fire and fell into the sea of fire.

The skeleton puppet let out a sharp explosion, and the yin qi all over his body was scorched into white gas and dissipated, his expression was frightened, as if he was extremely afraid of the flames below, and immediately let go of Ji Ning, and fled into a gap above at a very fast speed, like a reptile hiding in a cave.

A pillar of magma fire containing the aura of the pure fire element exploded in front of Ji Ning, almost engulfing him.

"Whew!"

Ji Ning landed on a stone, gasped for breath with a pale face, and then immediately raised his head and jumped forward.

The boy's thin figure shuttled between the hot and blazing pillars of magma fire at an extremely fast speed, barely stopping at all, and ran more than seventy meters in the blink of an eye.

Qi Lan, Xue Zhongjing and the others gritted their teeth and followed closely behind Ji Ning, stepping on the pillar he walked on, almost no time to react, just instinctively believing in Ji Ning's judgment.

Zhen Xixi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still followed behind, and several times when she saw the dense pillars of fire in front of her, she retreated, and when she wanted to turn to other stones, she was reminded by Qi Lan, so she gritted her teeth and followed, but she was really not attacked by the pillar of fire.

On the contrary, when she looked back, several footholds that she had favored in the past had long been swallowed up by magma.

"We've been tricked, keep up!"

In the chaos, everyone was almost unable to see the backs of Ji Ning and the others, Cui Jibo was furious and hurriedly wanted to follow.

But he couldn't tell which stone was safe, and for a moment everyone was even more scrambling, and several people fell into the flames.

"Good boy, you wait for me!"

Cui Jibo gritted his teeth and could only stand in place, waiting little by little for the magma to erupt.

And at this moment, the four of Ji Ning have completely disappeared from their sight.

"Where the hell are we going?"

Behind Ji Ning, Qi Lan couldn't help but ask.

The magma gushing has long stopped, but Ji Ning has not stopped.

The blood in his chest, I don't know how much it dripped along the way, was melted into mist by the high temperature, and his breath became more and more unstable.

"Front...... It should be safe. ”

Ji Ning's face turned pale, and he looked up at the darkness at the end of his line of sight.

If the map is correct, there should be a considerable amount of land in front of it, and the monks who entered this fire spirit vein area before should stay there.

Although sometimes, people are more dangerous than monsters, but at least there is still room for maneuvering with people, and the skeleton puppet is going to pick his skin without saying a word, and this place really can't stay for a moment.

The four of them marched for another half an hour before finally reaching the darkness.

The reason why it is dark is because the magma river here is buried under the ground by a dark stone path, no longer emitting fire, but it is still scorching, and when you step on this land, you can feel the heat of the ground through your shoes.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Xue Zhongjing strode forward and pulled Zhen Xixi away.

A huge drop of dark red magma fell from the roof of the cave like a drop of water, but it fell to the ground like a boulder, instantly smashing out a depression, and itself became fragmented, revealing the hot magma inside.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly looked up at the top of their heads, only to see that on the top of this space, there were such lava droplets everywhere, some of which had accumulated a lot of money, and sank out for several meters like stones in the cave, and they didn't know how long it would take to fall.

"Someone!"

Before he could figure out the current situation, Ji Ning's expression suddenly froze.

I saw that in the dim heat wave in front of him, there were many human figures crookedly, and they were busy with each other, walking back and forth, like ants on a hot pot, without stopping for a moment.

Everyone looked around solemnly, and walked forward slowly, only to find that this space was actually larger than before, and there was no end to the left and right, and everywhere was this world covered by scorching sand and stones, like a scorching volcanic cave.

In some areas, the earth cracked, and the river of fire spirits beneath reappeared, flowing forward like a trickle, and then buried again.

Everyone approached, and finally saw clearly what those busy figures were doing.

They were like miners digging in the mountains, with all kinds of tools in their hands, digging and tapping on the rock wall, up and down, left and right, and all the surrounding areas, knocking on the black stones that had been burned by the fire, as if they could find treasures.

In the hot darkness, there were people busy everywhere.

"Hey, there's a new person here?"

Suddenly, a fat man with a simple face spotted them.

As soon as these words came out, the more than 30 people who were busy mining in front of them all raised their heads one after another, and a trace of excitement appeared on their faces.

"Great, there is help, did the second master personally bring someone here!"

"It seems that we haven't been abandoned yet, this time we must wash away the shame and kill all the miscellaneous members of the Sword Pavilion!"

But, after a moment of time has passed.

The joyful expressions of the crowd froze.

"Why are there only four of them?"

The honest-looking fat man had an incredible face, and looked at Ji Ning with wide eyes:

"Of your batch, only four survived?"

Everyone was stunned.

Although this Fire Spirit Vein area is extremely dangerous, as long as you are steady, the road ahead is still easy to pass, and at most seven or eight people will die.

"There was a group of people in the back, and we arrived first."

Qi Lan took the initiative to speak and explained.

When the fat man heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"How many of you are coming?"

"A hundred or so."

"How much is left?"

"It should ...... Less than fifty. ”

Qi Lan frowned and estimated.

It was so chaotic that those people survived half of it, and it was already good.

"Fifty, that's enough!"

There was a rare hint of a smile on the face of the honest fat man, he carefully glanced at Ji Ning and the others, and then found that the aura emanating from Xue Zhongjing's body was actually very powerful.

"It's really disrespectful to be a powerhouse in the second-stage upper realm!"

Everyone came forward one after another, facing Ji Ning and his party, mainly to Xue Zhongjing.

Xue Zhongjing stepped forward and saluted with his fists, frowned and looked around the surrounding area, and then asked:

"Dare to ask your colleagues, what are they doing here?"

When the honest man heard this, he opened his mouth and said with a smile:

"Dig something."

"You don't know, we are already in the middle of the fire spirit vein, there are many secret rooms in the rock walls in all directions, and under these black stones underground, maybe you can find some treasures."

"Further on, there are no roads, even the rocks that have landed are submerged in magma, and only occasionally they are revealed, and we don't know what danger lies ahead, so we don't even think about going forward."

"The people of other forces are the same, everyone has stayed here, and this area is the territory of our Imperial Dragon Adventure Group, which can only be mined by ourselves, and the other forces are the same, everyone theoretically speaking, the well water does not interfere with the river water."

At this, a fierce look appeared on the fat man's face, and he turned his head to look at a wide road in the cave, and as far as he could see, there was another group of monks at the end of the dim and bright road space.

Dressed in white coats and with wooden swords pinned to their waists, they formed an orderly formation and attacked the rock wall, each collision was like a thunderbolt, which could tear a large piece of rock down.

"Those people are the people of the Sword Pavilion."

"In the previous battle, we found an opportunity, but they robbed it, and we didn't fight, so we have been waiting for support."

"Well, now that we have fifty of you, our Imperial Dragon Adventure Group will definitely be able to tear up all the miscellaneous pieces of this Sword Pavilion!"

……

……

At the same time, the Desolate Spirit Vein Underground Palace.

Compared with the Fire Spirit Vein Underground Palace, this place is quiet and peaceful, there is no sun between heaven and earth, gray and gray, and the eyes are endless, as if you have come to a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

Jiang Hailiu and his party walked on this wasteland bored, not to mention the danger along the way, even a living creature did not look at it, only corpses all over the ground, proving that someone had been here before.

"Well, I don't know what happened to the regimental commander."

In the middle of the group, a man covered in bandages sighed gloomily.

His life was saved by Xue Zhongjing, so when Xue Zhongjing chose to take the initiative to go to the Fire Spirit Vein, he almost stood up.

It's just that for some reason, at that moment, he didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

Xue Zhongjing just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.

When Jiang Hailiu heard this, he sneered with disdain:

"I guess it won't end well, it's a fire spirit vein over there."

"I really can't figure it out, those three are crazy, Captain Xue actually followed, causing us to lose our combat power in vain, even if we meet any treasures here, we shouldn't have any ability to compete."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent.

That's right.

Among these teams that entered the Desolate Spirit Vein, the strength of their adventure group was the weakest, and they couldn't even compare to some small teams with only seven or eight people, all of them were elites, and they were thirty or forty people, but they couldn't even get a second-stage monk.

Now, the strongest in the team is only Jiang Liuhai of the Iron Bone Realm, and the other two deputy leaders of the Silver Bone Realm.

"If you can't fight, you won't fight, it's better than being greedy enough to swallow an elephant and go to the fire spirit vein to send you to death."

Jiang Liuhai spoke lightly, walked in front of the crowd, and then suddenly stopped.

I don't know when, the vast wasteland has come to an end.

At the end, there was a tall hillside that was raised, and the arc became larger and larger, until at last it formed a solitary peak that reached into the sky.

On the top of that huge hillside, there were many monks, high and low, with clear boundaries, all looking down on the hillside looking for something.

Looking at such a magnificent scene, everyone present quietly widened their eyes.

"What's the matter, aren't we in the dungeon, how does this look like we've gone outside?"

"There is something strange in this space, if nothing else, it should be a formation."

Jiang Liuhai took out a round of array disks, and after carefully perceiving it, he gathered a ball of aura with one hand, and then picked it up five meters away from the side.

Suddenly, a slight ripple appeared in the void, and a faint humming sound was heard.

"That's right, it's the formation."

"This entire underground palace is shrouded in a powerful formation, and the rules of all things are determined by that formation."

Some people were stunned and asked:

"So, what we're seeing now is all an illusion?"

Jiang Liuhai frowned tightly and did not answer.

Although he knew that this space was illusory, he would still feel tired when he walked, and the dust he picked up in his hand could also be raised, and the boundless aura between heaven and earth could also be absorbed by him.

This space is like a real small world.

"The person who laid this formation must have a very high realm."

Jiang Liuhai shook his head and sighed, no longer trying to crack the mystery, the most important thing now is how to survive in this boundless wasteland, after all, their strength is too weak.

"Hey, you're from the Imperial Dragon Adventure Troupe?"

At this time, at the middle edge of the hillside, there was a sturdy man dressed in a black Arowana suit, beckoning to everyone.

Seeing this man, one of the monks in the other ranks looked overjoyed and shouted in a loud voice:

"The five masters, it's us!"

"Five masters Liu Hui?"

The crowd walked in the direction of the man and came to the top of the hill.
