Chapter 266

In particular, the competition for fire lotus seeds is bloody and cruel every time!

Therefore, in order to avoid the interference of high-ranking monks, this kind of "trial" of training disciples through bloody battles will be hindered. The Qingzhou Fang Mayor's Elder Association issued the highest ban on not allowing the monks of the Great Perfection of Qi Gathering and Foundation Building Period to participate, otherwise they would be issued a special killing order by Fang City.

It was the most high-level wanted warrant in Fang City, as long as you could kill a special wanted criminal, you could get a large amount of rewards, and a million spirit stones alone were enough to make people crazy! Not to mention, no matter how cultivated they were, they could enter the Fang Elder Council unconditionally.

Coupled with other rewards, even a Foundation Monk would not be able to face a surging number of pursuers.

But to be honest, for the monks who gather qi and the Great Perfection, the Fire Spirit Cave is not very attractive.

The Fire Spirit Cave Supreme Treasure Fire Lotus Seed is a priceless treasure for monks in the late stage of Qi Gathering. But it has no effect on the Dzogchen monks, so they will not come here at the risk of the world's disapproval.

This is also the reason why Xu Yangyang has seen the highest-level monk in the Fire Spirit Cave, and it is only the reason why he is at the peak of the late stage of Qi Gathering.

But even so, this Fire Spirit Cave is definitely a dangerous place for Xu Yang.

In the face of a mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivator or a second-order demon beast, he could barely deal with one or two. But once he encountered a monk and a third-order demon beast in the late stage of Qi Gathering, he didn't have much confidence.

However, he also got some information from the jade slip to avoid danger.

Every time this Fire Spirit Cave is opened, it is divided into four major areas, the outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave, the outer cave, the middle cave and the inner cave of the Fire Spirit Cave!

The periphery is generally the place where the weakest group of early-stage Qi Gathering monks and a small number of mid-Qi gathering monks are staying.

After they enter the strong, there will be a large-scale fight. Some team up, some alone, mostly to kill people and grab treasures.

This will be of great help to survive in the Fang City in the future or to enter the Fire Spirit Cave to experience.

However, the battle would basically end a day or two after it was opened, after a large number of weak monks had fallen.

Most of the surviving monks chose to leave, and some entered the Fire Spirit Cave, and there were not a few who stayed there and waited for the monks in the Fire Spirit Cave to come out and continue to kill people and seize treasures.

When he saw this, the corners of Xu Yang's mouth twitched.

He didn't look at this jade slip, and finally broke into the Fire Spirit Cave by mistake, and got involved in the outer battlefield, it seems that he can only blame himself.

But relatively speaking, he obtained the Nine Steps of the Wind and the Nine Transformation Immortal Technique, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

In fact, in the outer battlefield, it is not too dangerous, and a large part of the monks can survive. After all, the periphery is so large, and you can basically escape unharmed if you escape to a distance.

However, entering the Fire Spirit Cave increases the danger relatively, even if it is a slightly safer outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave.

From the simple map in the jade slip, Xu Yang could see that where he was at the moment was the outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave.

The danger here is a little higher than that of the periphery. After all, there are some low-level demon beasts here, but they are basically first- and second-order demon beasts, and their strength is relatively weak.

Of course, it's nothing.

Low-level demon beasts have limited spiritual intelligence, and generally speaking, they are not opponents of cultivators of the same level.

But don't forget that in addition to the monsters, there are also monks here. In the Fire Spirit Cave, most of the monks' deaths were at the hands of other monks.

There are many reasons for them to fight, and many times it is a life-and-death situation.

When a high-ranking monk sees a low-ranking monk, he kills him without a reason. Discover the spirit grass and fight with each other. The team of monks encounters a lone monk and kills people to seize the treasure. There is never a shortage of reasons for the struggle between monks, and they will lead to a battle of life and death for a variety of reasons.

The strength of the monks in the outer caves of the Fire Spirit Cave is relatively weak, and they are generally the strongest among the monks in the early stage of Qi Gathering, and the average monks in the middle stage of Qi Gathering. After all, if their strength enters the middle cave, not to mention encountering higher-level monks, even demon beasts are beyond their means.

The outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave is a treasure paradise for low-level monks, and the middle cave is naturally a gathering place for middle-level monks.

The concentration of spiritual power there is relatively high, and the level of demon beasts is also relatively improved, and they are generally second- and third-order demon beasts. Those who can haunt there are generally strong people in the middle stage of Qi Gathering, and ordinary monks in the late stage of Qi Gathering.

As for the powerhouses among the monks in the late stage of Qi Gathering, they would naturally enter the inner cave.

This is where the fire lotus grows, and every time the fire spirit cave is opened, there will be a large number of late-stage Qi gathering monks who will have a battle for the fire lotus seeds there.

The death of a monk in the late stage of Qi Gathering is generally due to the competition for fire lotus seeds.

After Xu Yang had a little understanding of the four regions, he had a plan in his heart.

His gaze turned, rushing in one direction. Finally, I stopped in a very remote place.

He swept his gaze around, his consciousness dispersed at the same time, and after finding that there was no one nearby, he flipped several more array flags in his hand.

Xu Yang first arranged a mid-level concealment formation, which was generally difficult for even late-stage Qi Gathering cultivators to detect. But he was still not at ease, and arranged another mid-level fire attribute formation.

In fact, he still has some middle-level magic circles, but here in the Fire Spirit Cave, it is naturally the most powerful fire attribute magic circle.

Finally, he arranged a mid-level spirit gathering array in the innermost.

However, the aura concentration here was much higher than that in the place where he was recuperating from his injuries after fighting the black-robed man. Therefore, after this formation was activated, the aura gathered was also very amazing, which made Xu Yang very happy in his heart.

Subsequently, he naturally recovered from his injuries inside.

But meditating here to recover is a little more troublesome than being outside. Because the aura here is mixed with some fire poison in it.

When Xu Yang meditated, he had to take some pills that were specially designed to dispel fire poison.

Fortunately, this elixir was quite a few of the items of the black-robed man and the other four people.

At first, Xu Yang didn't know what they were used for, and classified them as unrecognizable items, but after reading the jade slips, he finally knew what they did. At that moment, without hesitation, he took it together with the elixir to restore his injuries and mana.

With the help of the mid-level Spirit Gathering Array and a large number of pills, Xu Yang's injuries quickly improved, and his mana recovered soon after. To his surprise, although many monks had passed through this place, no one had discovered the hidden formation here.

However, it was naturally not surprising to think that the concealment formation he had arranged was mid-level.

No one bothered, Xu Yang was naturally happy.

After his mana was fully recovered and he reached his peak, he took out the storage ring of the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master.

After a battle of life and death, while avenging the revenge of the exterminator, he also reaped some loot. The first thing he looked at was, of course, the wand.

Looking at the wand in his hand, a hint of heat flashed in Xu Yang's eyes.

The top-level mid-level near-martial arts weapon, he finally obtained it. This is not available in ordinary stores, and it will be speculated at auction prices.

After a little try, he put it away.

After that, he took out the Buddha beads that had fought with the Cloud Piercing Dart.

A top-level low-level magic weapon, and it is also a long-range attack type, Xu Yang has no shortage of it. So he just used it a little and then put it away with a blank face.

But for the next treasure, Xu Yang had to show a cautious look.

A blood-red token floated in front of Xu Yang. Judging from the faint aura it emitted, it was nothing more than a very ordinary low-level magic weapon.

If he hadn't seen its power, Xu Yang wouldn't have taken it to heart at all. But after the battle with the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master, he didn't dare to underestimate this token.

After absorbing enough essence blood, this token will definitely not be worse than an ordinary mid-level magic weapon. And looking at the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master's end, judging from the situation of using it to resist tens of thousands of rune seals, this is more effective than the top-level mid-level defensive magic weapon!

This strange magic weapon is definitely an incredible treasure.

However, although Xu Yang knew that it was precious, he did not dare to use it as a conventional weapon. Thinking of the last tragic situation of Tianling Zen Master, Xu Yang's heart was a little furious.

This blood-red token is too weird, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, it is better not to use it until the last resort.

Xu Yang thought so and put it away cautiously. After that, no matter how Xu Yang looked, he couldn't find any magic weapons. It seems that this Heavenly Spirit Zen Master is not rich, except for the destroyed shield, there are only these three magic weapons.

Then, naturally, he packed up other treasures.

There are very few spirit stones, only about two hundred. There are less than a hundred sigils, and there are only a few mid-level ones. It seems that the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master is mixed up outside, and it is not very good.

In fact, this is just a matter of Xu Yang's vision, Tianling Zen Master, as a mid-stage Qi Gathering Cultivator, has a top-level mid-level magic weapon, which is already very good.

Generally, mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivators are just using low-level magic weapons.

It's just that Xu Yang didn't meet many monks, and the black-robed man and the other four usually killed people and grabbed treasures, and they had accumulated an unknown number of years before they could have so many treasures.

And most of them are still concentrated in the hands of the black-robed man.

Wu Zheng and the other three only had two or three magic weapons per person. With their cultivation, too many magic weapons could not be moved.

Even if Xu Yang's divine sense far surpassed that of his peers, under normal circumstances, he could only use four low-level magic weapons at the same time. Once he uses more, he will not be able to bear it, and the magic weapon will consume a lot of divine sense.

When Xu Yang was packing up the treasures of the Heavenly Spirit Zen Master, he also found some things that could not be seen as the purpose of the calendar.

Forget about the others, but one thing aroused Xu Yang's great interest.

It was an ancient map made of the skin of an unknown demon beast, but it was only half of it, and Xu Yang recognized the place drawn in it at a glance.

Of course, Xu Yang had only seen a sketchy topographic map of the Fire Spirit Cave in the jade slip sent by Daowei not long ago. Looking at the map depicting the same place at this moment, how could Xu Yang not recognize it.

However, this half of the map is a little different from the map in the jade slip sent by Yu Daowei.

Although it is only half a sheet, the map is only half of the outer and middle caves of the Fire Spirit Cave. However, the above content is much more detailed than the map in the jade slip.

What interests Xu Yang the most is that there is a place in the cave on the map that draws an obvious circle.

Somewhere in the disconnected part of the middle cave that the map has turned into, there is also a half significant pattern, but only half of it, and Xu Yang can't see what it is.

These two places obviously have some secrets inside, but there is no introduction at all in the jade slip.

Xu Yang's eyes rolled slightly, and his mind couldn't help but become active.

The latter motif is located in the middle of the middle cave.

It was relatively dangerous, and monks in the late stage of Qi Gathering could also move around there. For the sake of unknown things, it is not cost-effective to enter such a dangerous place, so forget it.

But his mana has fully recovered at the moment, and there should be no problem walking around the outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave.

Looking at the pattern in the outer cave, Xu Yang thought for a moment and then stood up.

Then, Xu Yang put away the formations arranged around him, carefully identified the direction, and then spread his body towards the location of the pattern and rushed over.

Along the way, Xu Yang found many monks, and he chose to retreat in order to avoid trouble. He was so good that ordinary monks couldn't catch up with him.

While Xu Yang was rushing towards the place where the pattern was, the other monks were also moving around in this fire spirit cave.

However, what is somewhat different from what Xu Yang knows is that the Fire Spirit Cave has only been opened for a short time, and all the monks are actually still stuck in the outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave, and it is only the front part of the outer cave.

The outer cave of the Fire Spirit Cave is too big, and there are many demon beasts in the way. Even if you don't count the time to exterminate the demon beasts, it will take about ten days just to walk through.

Fortunately, in the section near the entrance of the Fire Spirit Cave, because of the influx of a large number of monks, the demon beasts there were basically wiped out, which was also the reason why Xu Yang did not encounter the demon beasts.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and a huge beast with a huge body and a two-zhang bull-headed tiger body fell to the ground with a bang.

Its eyes were still open when it fell to the ground, and it looked hideous, but it had no breath. If you look closely, you can see a finger-sized bloody hole on the beast's forehead, which is obviously the beast's fatal wound.

A tall and thin figure landed beside this beast, this person was dressed in tight black, and his face was expressionless, it turned out to be the tall old six.

A trace of black light appeared strangely in his eyes, and as soon as he reached out with his hand, he clawed into the body of this demon beast, and when he stretched out, there was already an extra pale red ball.

"Hmph, although I don't know why second-order demon beasts frequently appear in the front of this outer cave, but you, Demon Dan Gao, are welcome!" After speaking, he glanced at the remaining part of the beast's corpse, as if he didn't have the slightest interest.

Then, in a flash, he disappeared in place.

Gao Lao Liu's place was in the middle part near the middle of the outer cave, and in the middle part, a slightly rickety figure holding a green snake staff, his head turned around, but because of a green mist, I couldn't see what her expression was, this person turned out to be the poisonous snake woman.

There were several leopard-like monsters around her, and the biggest difference between them and mortal leopards was that they had a fiery red horn in the middle of their foreheads.

"One-horned leopard? It's still a litter! The second-order demon beast actually grows in the whole nest in the front of the outer cave! What is wrong with this fire spirit cave?" The viper woman's voice came out through the green mist in front of her, and although she was surprised by her tone, she didn't care about the crisis in front of her.

The one-horned leopards who were eyeing her couldn't help but pounce on her. Looking at their thunderous speed, it was not far from Xu Yang's use of the Cloud Treading Boots.

But when the leopards came a few feet closer to her, several lightning-fast figures shot out of the woman's left sleeve and shot at the leopards. They were so fast that even the unicorn leopards couldn't dodge them.

In just an instant, the two sides intersected and staggered.

In the next moment, several figures had shot back into the serpent woman's sleeve, and they had not been able to see their true colors until the end.

But the one-horned leopards that originally pounced on the viper woman, and the figures in mid-air fell to the ground one after another at this moment. They struggled on the ground a few times, and then they didn't move again.

The Viper Woman didn't make the slightest sound, and her body had already come to the side of the one-horned leopards. The snake staff in his hand was pointed towards a leopard, and a thing that seemed to be the demon pill obtained by Gao Lao Liu was hooked out by the head of the snake staff.

She slipped it down her sleeve, and there was a rustling sound inside. She did the same, and fed all the demon pills to the contents of her left sleeve.

As for the rest of the demon beast, she didn't care when she swept her eyes, and walked slowly into the distance. But don't look at her, she seems to walk leisurely, but the speed is also so fast that in the blink of an eye, there is no one to see.

Not far behind Gao Lao Liu and the Viper Woman, several figures were constantly staggering. There was a lot of rumbling and thudging, as well as laughter and cursing.

Looking at the potholes on the ground, full of large and small potholes, you can see how fierce this battle was.

Among them, a tall figure of more than ten feet tall stood out. Most of the monks who entered the Fire Spirit Cave, as soon as they saw such a tall figure, they would think of such a number one person as Crazy Yong.

At this moment, he used two plate axes that were nearly half a foot long, and danced vigorously.

"Crazy brave, don't deceive people too much!" An old voice revealed incomparable anger, the owner of the words was a seventy-year-old man, his cultivation was not weak, and he was also a monk who cultivated in the late stage of gathering qi.

But before his words fell, the shield in his hand was blocked, but his body had been beaten back several feet away by a wild axe.

"Old man Zhen, what about bullying you!Can you still be crazy?" Crazy Yong glared at the old man surnamed Zhen with a pair of huge eyes, and then swept the other three people beside him with contempt, and his disdain overflowed.

He lightly bumped the axes into each other with both hands, and walked towards the old man surnamed Zhen step by step.

The old man surnamed Zhen flashed with anger in his eyes, he was also a monk in the late stage of Qi gathering. And Crazy Yong still attacked them like a madman for no reason when the two sides did not have the slightest conflict at all, and even when his team saw that the other party had already retreated first.

Being bullied like this by a monk of the same rank, how could the old man surnamed Zhen not be angry.

He glanced at the other three, and an aura-like spear was in his hand.

With a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, the old man surnamed Zhen cautiously stared at the approaching maniac bravery, looking like he was ready for battle.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!

If the old man surnamed Zhen began to have a little doubt about the strength of Crazy Yong, after fighting with the other party just now, he naturally didn't have the slightest disbelief.

The other party is very strong, and it can even be said that it is ridiculously strong!

The difference between yourself and each other is too far!

The other three were just cultivators at the peak of the middle stage of Qi Gathering, and when they saw their leader's eyes, a trace of determination flashed in their eyes. Each took out his own housekeeping weapon, a knife, a sword, a hammer!

These were all mid-level magic weapons, and it seemed that at such a time of crisis, they intended to use them for forcible action regardless of their cultivation.

Madness turned a blind eye to these, and he walked step by step in front of the old man surnamed Zhen. With a lift of the two-handed plate axe, he slashed directly at the other party. This speed does not seem fast, but it instantly approaches the opponent.

The eyes of the old man surnamed Zhen flashed, and the shield and spear both moved forward.

"Bang!boom!" After two sounds, the old man's body shook, but before he could retreat, the opponent's attack had already come again.

The old man's pupils shrank, and he resisted again without saying a word. But in the face of the fierce lightning attack, he instantly lost his strength, and blood overflowed from his mouth.

The old man's three teammates were shocked when they saw this, and with a knife, a sword, and a hammer, they had already struck behind the mad brave.

As if he didn't realize this, he slashed wildly with his two-handed plate axe, until the blood of the old man surnamed Zhen sprayed wildly, the shield was dented, and the tip of the spear was cut off.

"Roar!" He let out a violent roar when the three magic weapons behind him approached, and he was only a few inches away from attacking Brave Warrior's back.

Even the old man surnamed Zhen was shocked by this voice, his brain roared abnormally, and he moved.

Not to mention the other three, they almost couldn't even control the magic weapon.

However, the aura on Madman's body was agitated, and an earthy yellow armor appeared on his body, wrapping his entire body.

The three magic weapons behind him slammed into it, and after a few muffled sounds, they were bounced away, and Crazy Yong didn't even frown, looking like he hadn't been hurt in the slightest.

But while Wild Courage was making a defense, the attack in his hand did not pause in the slightest, but was much faster. But seeing that the plate axe in his hand turned, it turned into an axe blade backwards, and the axe was back in front, and slashed towards the old man surnamed Zhen who had not yet come to his senses.

However, the old man surnamed Zhen can become a monk in the late stage of Qi gathering, and it seems that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

When the crisis came, he was a little more shrewd. The shield and spear in his hand subconsciously rose up to resist.

But his strength is limited after all, even under normal circumstances, in the face of the fatal blow of the mad bravery, he may not be able to block it, let alone at this time!

"Bang! click!" After two sounds, the middle of the shield was smashed and shattered into several pieces, and the spear was directly cut in two! These two were top-level mid-level magic weapons, and they still couldn't withstand the fierce attack.

And their owner, the old man surnamed Zhen, was smashed into minced meat.

The moment the old man surnamed Zhen died, his three teammates' faces changed wildly, and their bodies flashed like lightning, shooting in three directions to escape.

Seeing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He threw his axe at one of the men in each hand, and his body chased after the last man.
