The Fire Barrier Technique is a very common first-order Five Elements Technique, although it belongs to one of the five elements of the Fire Technique like the Fireball Technique, but it is very different from the Fireball Technique in terms of fame. The Fireball Technique is almost every cultivator's first choice when they want to cultivate a spell when refining the Qi Realm, but the Fire Barrier Technique is almost unpopular, and it can be said to be a rather remote and remote technique.

The reason for this is actually very simple, the fireball technique is one of the most powerful attack spells in the first-order spells, while the fire barrier technique is more defensive, in this era when the Five Elements Technique is extremely weak, if you have to pick another spell that is not very useful, as long as it is a smart person, it will not do it.

Most of the monks in the world are wise. Those who are not smart and have no qualifications and talents will be eliminated sooner or later on this difficult and tortuous road of cultivating immortals, in fact, even if they are smart and gifted, there are many examples of people dying halfway.

Therefore, for many years, although the cultivation method has been circulating, there are very few monks who really practice this kind of cold technique.

Shen Shi is one of them.

Similar to Fireball, Water Archery, The same as the commonly used first-order spells of the Sinking Earth Technique, the Fire Barrier Technique was also purchased by Shen Shi when he was still on Qingyu Island, and he went to the magic hall to spend spirit crystals to buy, as for the reason, it is not too complicated, it is nothing more than two points, one is that Shen Shi himself had already realized that he was in the Five Elements Technique at that time, because of the Pure Heart Mantra, it seemed to be different, whether it was the cultivation spell or the speed of casting the spell, it was a level higher than that of ordinary people, so he directly increased his energy and investment in the spell; , water archery and other spells are all attack techniques, but there is no one more suitable for the defense, so he picks and chooses, and he picks the fire barrier technique.

But the reason why this fire barrier technique is cold is not without reason, even if Shen Shi cultivated this technique in the future, but there are only a handful of times when he has used the fire barrier technique over the years, compared to the fireball technique, water archery technique and other offensive techniques, and even auxiliary techniques such as the earth sinking technique, the number of times the fire barrier technique has been used in his hands is really pitiful.

The reason is that the fire barrier is actually not a very good defensive spell, and after its spell is cast, it forms a burning wall of fire on the caster's side to block the enemy's attack, but it does not have much defensive power against the caster itself. In other words, if the enemy slashes at you, you cast a fire barrier, and if the enemy shrinks in fear of the flames, the fire barrier will have an effect, but if the opponent is desperate and desperate, even if he is burned by the fire, then the caster will have nothing to do......

It can be seen that the limitations of this fire barrier technique are really great, and Shen Shi didn't understand this at the beginning, but in the end, he still bought this fire barrier technique as one of the first first-order spells he learned, really because among the first-order spells, at least when he was on the herring fish island that day, he didn't find other better defensive spells.

It is precisely because of this that he has always had a sense of trust in the fire barrier technique in his heart, so after returning to Jinhong Mountain and breaking through to the Ning Yuan Realm that day, he chose the "Golden Stone Armor" in the first introductory exercise, to put it bluntly, he still felt that if he encountered a strong enemy, there were various techniques to attack the enemy, but the defense was not enough at all, once he was close to the powerful power of the strong enemy, it was almost a dead word.

Therefore, the fire barrier technique has been shelved by him for a long time, and even when he first drew the talisman, the talisman made into the fire barrier technique was the least.

But at this moment, at this time when life and death were on the line, when countless ghosts were about to drown him like a flood, when Shen Shi rushed up that step, the first spell that his wrist was activated was this extremely cold fire barrier technique.

"Boom!"

With a low echo, the firelight suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating this passage that looked very distant and tall from floor to floor, and a wall of fire seemed to fall from the sky, and the flames were blazing, between Shen Shi and the countless hideous and terrifying ghosts behind him.

"Roar, roar, roar......" The next moment, all kinds of sharp and piercing strange cries broke out in an instant, and the ghosts were most afraid of thunder and fire, among which thunder and lightning were the most, but the flames would also make all ghosts disgusted and even fearful.

Not to mention this sudden appearance of the wall of fire, the flames are burning and even faintly showing a few traces of pure white, if there are monks in the world who are good at the Five Elements Technique, they will find that this wall of fire, not only the temperature of the flame seems to be a few points higher than that of ordinary fire barriers, but even the scale of the wall of fire is more than twice as wide as that of ordinary fire barriers, almost in an instant, it directly seals this passage, blocking the way of all ghosts.

Although most of the ghosts have no intelligence, they still have a fear of the scorching flames out of their innate instincts, so the row of ghosts rushing to the front almost subconsciously want to stop their steps, but the number of ghosts in the passage is too much, and the front and back crowds turn into a flood of ghosts, but it is impossible to stop and stop, the ghosts in front just want to stop and avoid the flames, but the ghosts behind are still rushing forward frantically, and the huge force is surging, and the ghosts in the front row are suddenly slammed forward again, staggering into those raging flames。

"Hoo ......"

The wall of fire roared, as if the flames were roaring and whistling, and the tongue of fire rolled upside down, engulfing the seven or eight fallen ghosts in the front row in a blink of an eye, only to hear the crackling and popping sound from the firelight in an instant, and the poignant and sharp mixed with the terrified and violent ghost crying wolf howl resounded throughout the passage, this sound was so terrifying, not only made Shen Shi's body tremble in front of him, but even made the torrent of ghosts behind the wall of fire stiffened.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Shi, who had already run out of more than ten stone steps again, continued to run forward, but his head subconsciously glanced back, and at the same time, he saw that those ghosts were engulfed by the blazing wall of fire, turning into a ball of fireballs frantically struggling and burning, and behind the wall of fire, because there were too many ghosts and too crowded, there were still some ghosts such as skeleton zombies who were involuntarily pushed into the wall of fire, and they also turned into such a miserable and terrible end in the roar and scream.

Shen Shi's body shook slightly, not because of the pity for these ghosts being burned, but because he was a little shocked by the power of this fire barrier technique.

When he was about to be caught up by these ghosts before, at a critical juncture, I don't know whether it was an inspiration or an instinctive reaction, among all the spells he learned and possessed, he subconsciously chose the most obscure spell of the fire barrier technique, and at this moment, it seems that this choice is undoubtedly the most correct and the only spell that can block those ghosts a little.

Yes, just a little bit of a block.

The fire barrier technique, after all, is only a first-order spell with the least power and the most common, even if Shen Shi once practiced two of the secret methods of the Yin and Yang Mantra, using the Pure Heart Mantra to open up new tricks and refine the spiritual power with the Heavenly Immortal Mantra to increase the power, but the first-order spell is still only a first-order spell.

When Shen Shi rushed to the twenty-sixth stone staircase, the wall of fire behind him reached the most blazing peak, and then the fire began to fade gradually; when he rushed to the forty-first stone staircase, seventeen or eighteen ghosts had fallen from the wall of fire, all of which were burned into a pile of charred black charcoal, but the height of the wall of fire was less than half of its peak, and the fire was still rapidly weakening; and when he rushed forward ten more steps and ran up the fifty-first stone staircase, the fire light was steeply dim, the fire wall dissipated, and the blocked ghosts instantly broke out into a thrilling howl after a moment of silence, and continued to rush towards the two living flesh and blood on the stone steps。

Shen Shi never looked back, just gritted his teeth and ran desperately, as for Xiao Hei, he simply didn't look back from beginning to end, just ran desperately towards the front of the stone steps, and the four hooves flew fast, and at this time he had already run to the top of Shen Shi's twenty or thirty steps.

In terms of the ability to escape for his life, it was obvious that Xiao Hei had far surpassed himself, the master of the first level of the Ning Yuan Realm, which made Shen Shi look sideways.

With the blocking of that fire barrier technique, Shen Shi finally broke free from the danger of his life hanging by a thread, and opened up a few distances from those ghosts, but after the wall of fire dissipated, the roaring torrent of ghosts was still in hot pursuit, and the howling sound became louder and louder, and once again gradually narrowed the distance with Shen Shi.

Sweat slowly oozed and dripped down from the corners of his forehead, Shen Shi's heart was beating violently and constantly wheezing, listening to the ghost crying and screaming in his ears, his face became more and more pale, and then when he rushed to the one hundred and seventeenth stone steps, the howl of the ghost seemed to be close to his ears.

He didn't look back, he didn't stop, but at the moment when he rushed forward, he waved his hand again, and the flash of fire burned from between his fingers, emitting a dazzling light.

"Boom!"

An echo of mysterious power, the light of the fire, illuminated the entire passage, turning into a burning wall of fire, as if to burn all the filth and filth of the world, and fell with a bang, lying across the stone steps of this passage.

Then, Shen Shi continued to flee in the wilderness.

Behind him, in the light of the flames, a ghost cried wolf, dozens of ghosts shouted and danced wildly in the scorching flames, and all the ghosts were in a panic, once again blocked behind the wall of fire.

※※※

In this way, Shen Shi used the extremely cold technique of the fire barrier technique to barely gain a little respite for himself and Xiao Hei in this desperate situation, and desperately fled forward. However, after all, the fire barrier technique is only a first-order spell, and it cannot block these large groups of ghosts chasing souls for a long time, and when the fire dissipates, the ghosts will chase after them again, gradually narrowing the distance between them and Shen Shi.

Escaping and blocking in this way, repeated many times, the talisman of the fire barrier technique was quickly used up by Shen Shi, and later he had to use his own spiritual power to cast the spell, fortunately, after his realm broke through to the Ning Yuan realm, the casting speed went up a new level, and he could barely cast the wall of fire before these ghosts caught up, so as to escape again.

But so many times, this upward passage still has no end in sight, and these countless stone steps seem to be going to the sky, spreading endlessly, and even making Shen Shi's heart slowly grow a trace of despair.

Even if it's a mountain, maybe you've already climbed to the top of it at this moment, right?

He complained with a wry smile in his heart, waved his hand and released a fire barrier again, summoning a wall of fire to block the ghost chasers behind him again, but when he continued to run forward, his body suddenly felt empty, and he shook twice involuntarily.

Shen Shi's heart sank slightly, and his face looked more and more pale, which was a sign that his body was a little out of strength, and it was also a sign that the spiritual power in his body was overdepleted.

If there is no turnaround, he will not be able to hold out for long.

He gritted his teeth and continued to run forward, looking up, he found that Xiao Hei was running ahead energetically, and he didn't seem to be tired at all, and at this moment he was already ahead of him by at least a hundred stone steps, if it wasn't for the fact that the passage was still bright, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see the ass of this little black pig.

Shen Shi was suddenly a little annoyed, snorted while running, and scolded:

"This unrighteous pig!"

And at this time, I don't know if I heard Shen Shi's complaint in the distant rear, or if I saw something else, Xiao Hei's body suddenly paused, but on the high stone steps, he suddenly stopped his pace and stood there motionless.
