Chapter 39: Fire Kirin
"Everybody, hold on, come on, the road ahead is coming. The successive deaths almost made everyone's hearts lose their minds, but fortunately, the old Taoist priest had a deep cultivation and a firm will, and when everyone's hearts were shaken, he immediately spoke out and encouraged.
Hearing the words of the old Taoist, no one dared to be distracted anymore, and devoted himself to the excavation steps.
After some hardships, two people died because of this, and a simple step that was manually chiseled finally extended from the platform to the place where the fire lotus in the center of the earth was.
The Earth-Heart Fire Lotus is right in front of him, and he feels excited when he thinks about it, the old Taoist priest is in a surging mood at the moment, and he sees him slowly approaching the Earth-Heart Fire Lotus, and he can't wait to immediately grab the Earth-Heart Fire Lotus in his hand.
Just when the old Taoist priest was close to the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus and was about to grab the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus, a mutation protruded.
I saw that under the rhizome of the fire lotus in the center of the earth, a cluster of flames suddenly rushed out, getting bigger and bigger, until finally, it actually conjured up an animal with the horn of an elk's body and an oxtail.
"What's that?" The sudden appearance of this animal-like creature with a full body of flames surprised everyone.
"The dragon's head, the antlers, the lion's eyes, the tiger's back, the bear's waist, the snake's scales, is this the legendary beast unicorn?" someone remembered something.
"What? it's the Divine Beast Qilin!" Hearing the man's words, everyone was shocked.
"My God, what's going on today, first the legendary divine artifact Earth Heart Fire Lotus, and now there is a divine beast Qilin, my heart is pounding, I can't bear it anymore, who will save me." Someone couldn't help but say excitedly.
At this time, this elk-tailed guy, whose whole body was covered in flames, stood on a cliff not far from the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus.
When it saw the old Taoist priest trying to get close to the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus, it saw its front hooves keep digging the cliffs, raising its head to make a roar, and sending out a circle of invisible sound waves in front of it, as if to warn everyone not to try to get close to the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus.
Since ancient times, there has been a rumor in the world that all natural treasures must be guarded by rare and exotic beasts, and it seems that this is true.
Everyone couldn't help but recall that this unicorn beast appeared from under the rhizome of the fire lotus in the center of the earth, so they took a closer look at the rhizome of the fire lotus in the center of the earth, and found that under the rhizome of the fire lotus in the center of the earth, there was indeed a hole there, and this hole was just covered by the leaves of the fire lotus, so everyone didn't find it at first.
It turned out that the unicorn beast was hiding in the cave under the rhizome of the fire lotus in the center of the earth, looking at the unicorn in front of it, guarding the fire lotus in the center of the earth every inch, and everyone did not dare to act recklessly, it was a legendary divine beast.
Since the unicorn appeared, Xia Yu has been staring at it.
Xia Yu has long known that the treasures of heaven and earth are guarded by spiritual objects, which is why Xia Yu asked the old Taoist priest to take the treasure first.
It's just that what Xia Yu didn't expect was that it would be a unicorn.
There are many legends about the divine beast unicorn in Shenzhou, but that only exists in legends, and there are very few people who have really seen the unicorn, but they didn't expect to meet a real unicorn here, which made Xia Yu surprised, but also very interested in this unicorn, if you can subdue this unicorn, compared to the fire lotus in the center of the earth, it will be much more precious.
But Xia Yu also knew that it was almost impossible to subdue the Qilin.
The reason why the unicorn is called a divine beast is that the unicorn itself has a high spirituality, and there are few examples of the unicorn recognizing the lord in the legend, and second, the unicorn as a divine beast has its own natural powers, with Xia Yu's current strength, under this kind of natural supernatural powers, it is almost weak and pitiful.
The best situation now is not to act rashly, once you annoy the Qilin, the consequences are unimaginable, thinking of this, Xia Yu wanted to remind everyone out loud, let everyone not act rashly, but it was still a step too late.
The old Taoist priest closest to the Earth-centered Fire Lotus may be anxious to obtain the Earth-centered Fire Lotus, but after the Qilin issued a warning, the old Taoist priest still wanted to take the Earth-centered Fire Lotus, only to see the old Taoist priest desperately pounce on the Earth-centered Fire Lotus.
The old Taoist's actions undoubtedly annoyed the Qilin, and at the moment when the old Taoist priest just moved his footsteps, all the flames emitted by the Qilin's body condensed together, and then shot straight at the old Taoist.
That flame is the natal power of the unicorn beast, compared to the underground magma, it is not too much, as long as the flame is on the body, it is estimated that the old Taoist priest will finish playing.
Seeing that the flames were about to fall on the old Taoist, and he didn't know what treasures the old Taoist had on him, he actually emitted a cloud of white light, resisting all the flames of the unicorn beast.
Although he resisted the flame attack of the unicorn beast, the old Taoist priest was also uncomfortable, and at this time, the clothes and hair bun on the old Taoist priest seemed to have been burned, emitting a stench after burning.
The old Taoist priest was relieved to see that he had resisted the blow of the Qilin, the treasure on his body just now was a heavy treasure in Longhu Mountain, and it was almost his last means of saving his life.
In order to take the treasure this time, the old Taoist borrowed this heavy treasure from the master, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed just under the blow of the unicorn, although the old Taoist was dripping blood in the center of his heart, but as long as he got the fire lotus in the center of the earth, even if he lost this heavy treasure, it was worth it.
The old Taoist priest didn't think about it, and stretched out his palm to the Earth Center Fire Lotus again, seeing that it was about to fall on the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, as long as he used his strength, he could pull the Earth Heart Fire Lotus out of the rock wall.
The old Taoist priest was ecstatic in his heart, but the old Taoist priest was still happy too early.
At the moment when he was about to pull out the fire lotus in the center of the earth, the unicorn suddenly let out a roar, like a lion's roar, and a circle of invisible sounds emanated from around the unicorn's body.
Under the roar of the unicorn, I saw that the faces of the people on the cliff showed painful expressions, and under the sonic attack of the unicorn, their hearts were severely hit.
The old Taoist priest who bore the brunt of the attack even shed blood from his eyes, nose, and mouth, looking like crazy.
At the same time, as if summoned, the underground magma erupted from the ground and shot straight towards the cliffs.
The people on the cliff, after being attacked by the unicorn, suddenly fell into danger, and with the underground magma sprayed out, they were even more in danger of surviving.
Not only that, the angry Qilin attacked everyone on the cliff again, only to see the Qilin's figure turn into a ball of flames, like a butterfly on the cliff one after another.
In just a few moments, several people turned into burning people, then fell into the underground magma in pain and fear, and were then engulfed in the blazing magma and reduced to ashes.
The few remaining survivors on the cliff, after seeing this result, were heartbroken, and they no longer had the heart to take the treasure, they just wanted to leave the cliff as soon as possible, return to the platform, and save their lives.
