Volume 1 Mortal Realm Chapter 322 Volcanic Beast
As soon as he entered the volcanic cone, some monks found that there were a lot of basalt crystals on the inner wall of the volcano, and this material was added in the refining process to remove the impurities of the magic weapon embryo to the greatest extent, and a complete basalt crystal could almost be sold for three high-grade spirit stones.
For the Jindan monks, three high-grade spirit stones were enough to pay for a trip to the spirit boat.
The Jindan monks in the team sacrificed their magic weapons one after another and began to dig basalt crystals, and the monks above the Yuan Infant Stage naturally disdained to snatch these low-level materials from the low-level monks, and they continued to fall into the depths of the volcano.
After falling hundreds of zhang, the temperature became higher and higher, and several Jindan monks were directly burned to ashes by several clusters of flames erupted from the underground magma, which frightened other Jindan monks to give up the idea of continuing to go deeper.
After the Jindan monks retreated, there were still more than 3,000 people left in the treasure hunting team still going down.
Bursts of heat continued to come from under their feet, everyone looked down, couldn't help but gasp, a slowly flowing river of magma with no edge in sight, from time to time there were raging flames on the magma, red flames scurrying back and forth.
At this moment, the volcano, which had been silent for several days, erupted again, and the entire space shook violently, and the originally hard stone walls on everyone's heads also collapsed and fell down.
Everyone hurriedly sacrificed magic weapons to fly down the stone, many Yuanying monks couldn't dodge, and were smashed into the magma, and screams rang out, these monks were swallowed by the magma, and in the blink of an eye, they were burned into ashes, and their bodies were destroyed.
"I really didn't expect it to be so dangerous here, but it's still important to live, senior brother, let's leave!"
"Senior brother, you're right, if you go deeper, maybe there will be even greater danger!"
......
Many monks decided to evacuate as soon as possible after communicating with their fellow disciples.
The magma river suddenly scorched the waves, and the blazing magma instantly rose into the sky, spraying towards everyone, where did everyone still have the mind to hunt for treasure at this moment, and at the same time dodging the falling rocks with all their might, they hurriedly fled towards the exit of the volcano.
An hour later, everyone flew out of the volcano, and their bodies stopped thousands of kilometers away from the volcano, apparently frightened, and the sudden eruption of magma caused half of the more than 3,000 monks to fall.
The remaining half of the monks, most of them no longer had the idea of continuing to hunt for treasures, and turned around and flew towards their respective spirit boats, although the opportunity was good, but they also had enough strength to do it.
After resting for a few hours, Guo Jingyue and the others entered the volcano again, this time only a few dozen people stayed to hunt for treasures, in addition to Lu Chen, the monks of the Nine Star Gate, the Purple Cloud Sect and the Situ family, there were also more than thirty scattered cultivators.
In the lava river, a blazing wind blows from time to time, blowing the hot magma into a wave several meters high. The magma was tumbling like a tide, the heat wave was monstrous, and before it reached the bottom of the volcano, some monks could not bear the heat and gave up one after another.
An hour later, only about two dozen people were still diving.
The unbelievably high temperature made the mouths dry and the skin hot.
Two hours later, all the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators had already retreated, leaving only Lu Chen and the other nine Transformation God Monarchs.
Three hours later, everyone was still more than a thousand zhang away from the ground, except for Lu Chen and Guo Jingyue, everyone else took out the strongest defense means to resist the magma eruption
of the flames, but also this is the limit of what they can withstand.
At this moment, Zhan Yunqi was careless, his right hand holding the magic weapon was burned by the scorching flames, and the magic weapon fell into the magma, and before he could sacrifice the defensive shield, he saw a flame shooting towards him, Zhan Yunqi's eyes showed despair, but he didn't expect the flames to stop more than ten feet away from him, it turned out that someone had blocked the flame's attack for him.
Zhan Yunqi turned his head and found that it was Lu Chen who saved him by sacrificing a magic talisman in time, and this person said respectfully to Lu Chen, "Thank you Daoyou for coming to the rescue!"
Lu Chen nodded lightly.
Not only Zhan Yunqi, but other early stage cultivators such as Situ Lan were also in danger.
After a few breaths, the two early stage cultivators of the gods fell one after another, and Zhan Yunqi, Situ Lan and others finally made up their minds to give up continuing to hunt for treasures, knowing that they couldn't do it, it was stupid.
"Senior Brother Guo, I'll wait for you outside!" Situ Lan saluted Guo Jingyue Yingying.
Zhan Yunqi also hugged his fist at Lu Chen and said, "Fellow Daoist, take care!"
At this moment, Guo Jingyue looked at Lu Chen coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to compete with me for a chance?"
Without waiting for Lu Chen's answer, this person quietly sacrificed the cyan long sword and suddenly attacked Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had already taken precautions against this person, and with the Tiger Roar Sword of the Eighth Order Middle-grade magic weapon in his hand, he easily blocked Guo Jingyue's sneak attack.
"The elder of the inner gate of the Nine Star Sect is so despicable and shameless!" Saying that, Zhan Yunqi was about to help Lu Chen.
Although the others also despised Guo Jingyue's despicable behavior, he was a mid-stage cultivator, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Chen shook his head at Zhan Yunqi and signaled that he could handle it.
"Falling stars!", Lu Chen spat lightly.
Before he finished speaking, the whole sky suddenly darkened, and through the crater, he could see a little starlight in the distant sky, and the next moment the stars quickly became larger and brighter, turning into several dazzling stars.
An incomparably large coercion emanated from the starlight projected by these stars, enveloping everyone inside the volcano, and everyone's faces changed drastically and their bodies trembled slightly.
With a frenzied surge of heaven and earth aura, these starlights turned into a crystal clear giant finger.
"This person can't be a powerhouse in the late stage of the transformation of gods, right?" Situ Lan exclaimed, as if he was a little incredulous.
Guo Jingyue's pupils contracted violently, and there was endless fear in his heart, he couldn't understand no matter what, Lu Chen was only a monk in the early stage of the transformation of the gods, how could he send a blow comparable to the late stage of the transformation of the gods.
At this time, this person had already extinguished the idea of snatching the opportunity with Lu Chen, and hurriedly fled towards the crater.
The speed of the giant finger was terrifying, and it soon appeared not far from Guo Jingyue's feet.
Guo Jingyue hurriedly sacrificed all the defensive means on his body, wanting to fight for a glimmer of life.
After a few breaths, the defensive light shield emitted by this person's magic weapon just touched the giant finger, and with a tremble, it burst open, and then this person's body also shattered, turning into flesh and blood, scattering in all directions
Situ Lan and the other scattered cultivators were stunned in their hearts, and they didn't dare to stop for the slightest, and galloped towards the crater
After Zhan Yunqi left,
In the empty space here, only Lu Chen was left.
Another hour passed, and Lu Chen finally reached the bottom of the volcano.
As far as the eye could see, a river of fiery magma filled almost the entire space.
"Roaring ......"
Suddenly, there was a heart-pounding roar from the magma.
A giant beast with raging flames slowly climbed up from the magma, and the moment the beast appeared, a wave of heat filled the surroundings wildly, and even the air seemed to be burning.
Lu Chen had never seen such a flame beast, about a few zhang tall, with a thick body, a huge head, two sharp horns on its head, and a large mouth full of fangs.
After the flame beast found Lu Chen, it opened its mouth towards Lu Chen's blood basin and spewed out a blazing ball of fire.
Lu Chen took out an eighth-order high-grade magic rune, and the seemingly infinitely powerful fire ball was blocked by the light shield that the magic rune transformed.
But at the same time, there was still a powerful force, and the shocking Lu Chen retreated dozens of feet.
The flame beast didn't seem to expect Lu Chen to be able to block its blow, staring at Lu Chen fiercely, and one man and one beast began to confront each other.
Half an hour later, the fire beast suddenly roared violently, and the magma river instantly stirred up countless waves of scorching fireworks, and the entire space was filled with flames, turning into a sea of fire.
At this moment, the fire beast kicked the ground all fours, and suddenly jumped up, rushing straight towards Lu Chen, its huge body scattered countless scorching flames.
Lu Chen hurriedly summoned the Zhenxian Pagoda from the sea of knowledge and smashed it towards the fire beast, the fire beast touched the giant tower whose volume soared to dozens of zhang, and was bounced back, and the ground shook more than once.
The flame beast fell back to the ground, looked up at the giant tower in mid-air, and unexpectedly took a few steps back unnaturally.
Lu Chen's heart moved, it turned out that this flame beast was afraid of the breath of the immortal weapon.
Soon, Lu Chen summoned the Thunder Punishment Dzi in the Sea of Knowledge, and the moment the Thunder Bead appeared, the flame beast roared angrily, and the fear in his eyes was even worse.
When the mysterious painting scroll in the sea of Lu Chen's consciousness appeared in front of the flame beast, the irritability and fury aura on the fire beast just now disappeared in an instant, and the beast's huge head turned, and its eyes showed extreme excitement.
At this moment, Lu Chen was completely sure that the mysterious painting scroll was much more powerful than the Zhenxian Pagoda and the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Bead.
The flame beast suddenly bent down on its two front legs, and its whole body was completely prostrate on the ground, showing a docile expression to Lu Chen, and the flames on its body suddenly dimmed and disappeared, and finally, with a "whoosh", it flew in front of Lu Chen, disappeared into Lu Chen's forehead, and disappeared unchanged, and there was an extremely faint mysterious flame mark on Lu Chen's forehead.
The entire internal space of the volcano was completely quiet, and the magma river began to slowly solidify.
At this moment, Lu Chen's face showed a look of surprise, and through the communication with the flame beast, it was a group of heaven and earth spirit beasts that had been naturally evolved by the fire of the ridge at the bottom of the North Sea for countless thousands of years, containing all the possibilities for advancement.
Its current level is equivalent to a ninth-order demon beast, more powerful than the blue-scaled demon Jiao, and its strength is equivalent to the Great Perfection realm of a human monk.
But it is different from ordinary demon beasts, and every time it is summoned, it needs to absorb enough power of the fire vein to recover and improve its strength.
