Chapter 56: Fire Spirit and Hundred Breaths
Zhao Xiang's heart is now full of regret, why would he covet that little reward to carry out this hellish task. I can't complain that so many masters in the Sword Alliance are unwilling to come. Originally, I thought I had picked up a bargain, but now it seems that I have completely embarked on the road of no return!
The task was full of variables from the start, and even the task itself seemed vague. In the past, when the Sword Alliance issued a mission, it always indicated who to kill, or what mission target item to get, but this mission was only a vague four words "stop Ling Xiao"!
In view of the current predicament, Zhao Xiang had actually thought about leading his brothers to surrender to Na Ling Xiao for a long time. But for a long time, the legend within the Sword Alliance made him dispel this idea. Anyone who had contact with Ling Xiao came back and swore an oath about Ling Xiao's tyrannical behavior, as if Ling Xiao was some kind of brutal monster!
But Zhao Xiang has one more thing to add to Ling Xiao's evaluation now, that is, he is cunning and wise, and he has fallen into such a trap without making a sound, and he is a Jedi!
In this fire cave, there was no danger for the first few hundred meters, but it was just getting hotter and hotter. But when it was almost a kilometer deeper, the situation changed dramatically!
First, a strong man under his command only looked forward and did not pay attention to his feet, and stepped into a deep hole. Originally, this was not a big deal, but it was very different in this fire cave, from the deep hole in an instant, a dark brown flame rose, and the strong man was burned to ashes before he even had time to snort!
Seeing this scene, the morale of the already low morale became even more and more sluggish, and several strong men who usually cut their heads with knives without changing color were pale, after all, such a way of dying was also terrifying!
But after walking less than a hundred meters, they found that the strong man who had just died was relatively lucky, and there was no pain in dying instantly.
This time it was Xiao Cui who Zhao Xiang valued the most, he was very clever, and he had to appreciate himself on weekdays, but unfortunately this clever Xiao Cui only cared about the soles of his feet, but he didn't expect a fist-sized red pulp that was constantly smelting from the top of his head and coincidentally fell on Xiao Cui's shoulder!
Suddenly, a smell of barbecue came out, and Xiao Cui was already rolling on the ground in pain! Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiang had no better way but to step forward and cut off Xiao Cui's injured part and hastily bandage it!
At this point, this group of people didn't dare to move forward for half a minute, even if there was the legendary terrifying and abnormal Ling Xiao behind them, they couldn't make them move forward! They all knew that they were going to die this time, and the difference was just that they died at the hands of Ling Xiao or under all kinds of terrifying molten lava!
Ling Xiao also had a headache at this moment, not because Zhao wanted them to have a headache, since they came out to mix, they should have thought that there would be such a day. His headache is obvious, this earth fire cave is not something that human beings can probe to the end, what should he do!
Seeing that Zhao Xiang and the group in front of him stopped moving, Ling Xiao also understood what they were thinking! "Zhao Xiang, right! Order your subordinates, if you want to live, strip naked and throw all the supplies over!"
It's not that Ling Xiao has any special hobbies to let the other party strip naked, it's just because in these years, whoever comes out to mix will prepare a storage equipment, if you don't strip naked, it's easy to give the other party a chance to take advantage of, in case at a critical moment, the other party suddenly turns back, and the one who regrets it is himself!
Regarding Ling Xiao's request, Zhao Xiang and his gang did not hesitate to implement it, mainly because the death and injury just now really frightened this group!
After settling this group of people, Ling Xiao ordered everyone to retreat to a relatively safe place a hundred meters away to rest temporarily, but he walked forward step by step!
Because Ling Xiao found that letting others continue to explore the way in front was a dead end, and it had no effect, after all, time waits for no one. Walking forward by himself, he can avoid many dangers, the key is that Ling Xiao has a vision beyond ordinary people!
Ling Xiao looked at it, but there was a slight difference from others in his sight, although the difference was very small, but it was this small difference that could help Ling Xiao take the path that others could not take.
The same red flames flickered everywhere, and in the same dimness, Ling Xiao found that wherever the ground was fragile and about to be burned through by the underground flames, his vision would be slightly red, and some dark red places above his head would also fall from time to time with clumps of molten fire!
In short, there is danger wherever there is a slight redden, and the only thing that can continue is the ground that is always dark!
Investigate, move forward, stop, continue to explore, and just like that, Ling Xiao walked step by step towards the depths of the fire cave! Although he did not encounter any more dangers, the mental consumption was getting bigger and bigger. The most important thing is that as it continues to deepen, the popularity is getting higher and higher!
In the end, it didn't take long for the sweat that was constantly oozing from Ling Xiao's body to evaporate, and the clothes he was wearing gradually became scorched, as if he might burn on its own at any time!
If it weren't for Ling Xiao's ability to have a spirit level, if it weren't for Ling Xiao's ability to grow up in the transformation of the God of War Power Pill since he was a child, and his body would have been considered to be at the peak of the realm, he might have been unable to support it and fainted to the ground!
Even so, Ling Xiao's spirit was also very difficult, after all, his realm was only a "Shi realm", and he couldn't release his spiritual power to protect himself!
It's just that the biggest advantage of Ling Xiao's character is tenacity, that is, he does not admit defeat and believes that he will succeed!
Step by step, by now, Ling Xiao is already persevering in moving forward with all his perseverance, and what supports him is the belief in revenge for Xiaoru, and the hatred for the snow dance!
Persistence will always be rewarded, just after Ling Xiao continued to move forward for another 100 meters, his whole body began to feel cool, yes, it was cool!
It's as if a traveler in the desert has finally found an oasis that isn't a mirage, like drinking a big bowl of chilled sour plum soup on a dog day!
Excited by this cool meaning, Ling Xiao woke up from that dizzy state, but he was immediately intoxicated by the strange scene in front of him!
If the place you just passed through is a corridor, then what you see in front of you must be regarded as a hall! There is nothing obstructing in the wide cave, and it is unobstructed, and it is the size of the two Chengying halls in the prince's mansion, and the ground is full of cemented glass crystals, which are smooth and abnormal!
The only anomaly was that there was a small pile of things shaped like ashes in the center! Seeing this thing, Ling Xiao immediately determined that this was the Hundred Breath Soil! Its shape and color were all consistent with what Zhang Ruhai of the Nadan Sect said!
Excited, Ling Xiao immediately ran forward, and as he ran, he took out the jade box prepared in advance, wanting to collect these Hundred Breaths of Earth!
Just approached, before Ling Xiao could make a move, it was a sudden change! In the mound, the fire flashed, and a small thing crawled out. It's not accurate to say that it's a thing, it's about the size of an adult's fist, slightly human-shaped, with blurred limbs and a head, but it's all hidden in the firelight, so people can't see clearly!
But as soon as this little fire man crawled out of the mound of earth, the temperature in this cave immediately rose at an extremely rapid speed, but it was only three breaths, and it was about to surpass the high temperature in the passage!
Ling Xiao, who was taken aback, didn't care much, collected a little bit of Baiqi soil as quickly as possible, and put the jade box back into the storage belt!
It can be seen that this strange monster has robbed his own hundred breath soil, but the little fire man seems to be very angry, and as soon as his little hand is raised, a wisp of fire burns towards Ling Xiao's figure!
Ling Sense, who was running, didn't expect this little fire man to react so violently, and intuitively felt that this flame was not simple, and he no longer ran, but turned back, crossed his fists in front of him, and tried his best to gather all his spiritual power on his fists, trying to block the inconspicuous flame!
Ling Xiao's intuition was very correct, and in Ling Xiao's surprised look, the flame lightly broke through the spiritual power protection and hit Ling Xiao's fists!
It wasn't until he withdrew his fists that Ling Xiao realized that the place where the flame hit was the God of War ring that Ling Xiao had been carrying on his hand, the original ring was sealed with a layer of bronze camouflage, but now it was all turned into juice and evaporated under the scorching flames, revealing the true face of the ring!
On the small ring, the light flows, the dazzling is abnormal, a very small butterfly-shaped ring is imprinted into the eye, the head of the butterfly is a brilliant gem, as for what kind of gem, Ling Xiao can't see it!
At the moment when the true face of this ring was revealed, the little fire man on the mound of earth in the distance seemed to be very happy, and in the babbling cheers, it was actually a fit and rushed towards Ling Xiao!
Ling Xiao, who was taken aback, didn't make any moves, the fire man had already turned into a red thread, and entered the ring in an instant!
With the disappearance of the little fire man, the temperature in this cave dropped sharply again, becoming cooler! Seeing that the threat was lifted, although Ling Xiao didn't understand what was going on, Ling Xiao still wouldn't let go of the large pile of Hundred Breath Earth in front of him!
It wasn't until Ling Xiao filled six boxes of Hundred Breaths of Earth and returned to the passage that he realized that not only the temperature in the cave had dropped, but also the temperature in the passage was slowly decreasing!
The matter must have something to do with that little fire man, and if you want to ask that Ruhai line, you will definitely be able to gain something! Ling Xiao still remembered what Zhang Ruhai said to himself, "Where the Hundred Breaths Land is, there must be a fire spirit guarding it, if you can get a star and a half of the Hundred Breaths Land, remember to send me some old man too!"
When he spoke, not only his tone, but also his expression, he was also full of contempt, if you can obtain the Hundred Breath Land, wouldn't the dozens of masters of my Dan Sect live for decades in vain?
Now that Baixi Tu is in hand, look at what he Zhang Ruhai says, it just so happens that the antidote to the old emperor has also been configured by him!
Ling Xiao went through hardships and tribulations here, and barely succeeded, but Liu Dashao was anxious. On the one hand, the strong bow and hard crossbow forced Zhao Xiang and a group of slippery sword alliance members, but on the other hand, Liu Dashao's heart was full of worry about Ling Xiao, for fear that his master would have a good case!
With the passage of time, Liu Dashao became more and more uneasy, and wanted to rush in to see the situation several times, but was stopped by everyone, and when he was making a fuss, Ling Xiao's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Don't say anything, don't ask anything, I don't know a lot of things, but the mission goal is barely enough!" Seeing everyone's gossip faces, Ling Xiao sealed his mouth first, and led everyone to turn around and exit this terrifying place!
