Chapter 114: Murder for money
Tang Kefa told those people about Shi Tianci going to collect medicine together, and those people asked about Shi Tianci's cultivation, and when they heard that he had an enchantment realm, they agreed without hesitation. More people are more sure, and they naturally want to go as many people as possible.
Shi Tianci left some low-level pills and asked Tang Xianzhi to help watch the shop and sell them, then packed up his things and set off with the expedition.
The purpose of this expedition was to go to the underground Volcane Valley to collect the Earth Fire Tree, which is only found near volcanic magma, which is said to be a tree, but is actually a combination of extremely small fireflies. This firefly likes to huddle in a ball, and if there are dead ones, they are pushed outside to form a hard shell. After dying a lot, it becomes a tree-like form, which is somewhat like coral.
The earth fire tree has a very high medicinal value, and it is known as an inch of gold, and it is extremely profitable, so it is often the crazy target of adventurers. However, due to the fact that the Earth Fire Tree is born near magma, its geographical location is extremely harsh, and there are already many Jedi in the underground ghost town, so its danger can be imagined.
The expedition team consisted of nine people, five Dao cultivators and four ghost cultivators. Except for Tang Kefa and Shi Tianci, the other seven people are old partners, and they all use the titles of the boss, the second, and the third, as for the real names, they are all secretive, and no one is willing to tell the truth.
This is particular, not knowing each other's real names means that they are not familiar with each other, so that when something goes wrong during the expedition, they can decisively abandon each other to protect themselves. Therefore, Tang Kefa was called the eighth, and Shi Tianci was called the ninth. The ranking does not look at age, only the time of joining the team.
The boss is a one-eyed Taoist cultivator, who is extremely strong, and does not talk much, but he is loud. After he took everyone all the way to the edge of the underground ghost city, he said: "Everyone, if you go further down, you will go out of the city, there will be a lot of trouble on the way, you must listen to the command of the golden-eyed eagle in case of trouble, and no one can move without permission, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." If you don't want to go, it's too late to turn back. ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he waved his hand, led everyone out of the city, and walked slowly underground. After about an hour, they came to a strange passage, and the eldest one-eyed dragon looked at this passage and said, "My golden-eyed eagle is leading the way in front, everyone follows, the old eight and nine are the most rear, how I go, you can go, you can't be wrong at all, otherwise, you will definitely die!"
With that, the cyclops walked very slowly into the passage. Sometimes he bowed his head, sometimes bent over, sometimes prostrate, sometimes climbed, but there were no obstacles around him at all, and Tang Kefa didn't know what he was doing.
Shi Tianci adjusted the spatial dimension grid of the space-time eye, but found no problems, he turned to adjust the time-dimensional grid, only to find that this passage was actually covered with all kinds of irregular time flows! Non-standard means that in this seemingly empty and unobstructed passage, different places have different time flow rates!
In some places, time is very fast, and people will get old quickly after entering, and in other places, time is very slow, and people will be locked there by the flow of time after entering, and they will not be able to move.
Shi Tianci didn't understand how such a strange flow of time could be generated here, but he didn't dare to be careless and cautiously followed the team. They walked out of the city and saw a group of monks around the corner. These monks strayed into the still flow of time there, completely still in it.
They looked like normal people, and they were even talking and laughing. It's just that their actions and thoughts are stuck at the moment when they enter the static flow of time. If there is no change here, in another 100,000 years, they will still be like this, there will be no change!
They all carried storage bags on their bodies, and the third child swallowed his saliva and said: "Every time I see their storage bags, I am excited, but unfortunately, I can't get my hands on them." ”
The second child smiled and said, "You can get it when you go in." ”
They were laughing when they suddenly ran into another expedition. The two suddenly tensed, this passage seemed to be wide, but in fact, it was occupied by a huge part of the space by various time streams, and there was only a narrow gap that could accommodate one person. The two groups could not pass each other under any circumstances, so one of them had to retreat.
The group shouted first: "Front, you retreat, otherwise, no one will be able to pass." ”
The one-eyed dragon boss snorted and said, "You guys have a problem with your head, right? We've already walked most of the way, and besides, the two behind us are newcomers, how can we retreat?"
When the men heard this, they discussed it, and then they turned around, and they retreated.
The one-eyed dragon boss smiled and followed, and at the same time, his right hand went down to the dragon and made a scissorhand motion. Shi Tianci's eyes were sharp, and he immediately understood that this guy had moved the heart of a thief.
After the group in front of them exited, waiting at the entrance at the other end, the one-eyed dragon boss was the first to come out and said to them, "Thank you." ”
The group gave a polite reckless sigh and said nothing more. The second and third children all came out one after another, but Shi Tianci obviously felt that their speed had slowed down. Shi Tianci thought about various possibilities in his mind like lightning, and after the last moment, he secretly took out the Dust Falling Boundary Flag.
As Shi Tianci expected, as soon as he and Tang Kefa came out of the passage, the boss shouted: "Eighth and ninth stop them, don't let them enter the passage!"
After speaking, he raised his hand and sacrificed a Xunling Purple Thunderbolt. The Xunling Purple Thunder has a big belly and a small mouth, and there is a Purple Thunder Rune Array inside, once urged, it can launch a Purple Thunder attack, which is an excellent magic weapon for large-scale killing. As soon as the Xunling Purple Thunderbolt reached the air, it immediately turned upside down, the bottom facing up, and the mouth turned down.
The one-eyed dragon pinched the law with his hand, and the Xun Spirit Purple Thunder immediately shot out more than ten finger-thick purple thunderbolts, drawing arcs of lightning and attacking the group of monks. Not only him, but the second child and the others had also been prepared, and they also sacrificed magic weapons one after another to kill their opponents with all their might.
The group of monks was caught off guard, and half of them were killed in an instant, without having time to react. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining four rushed desperately towards Shi Tianci and Tang Kefa, trying to escape from the road.
Tang Kefa was dumbfounded at that time, behind him was the deadly passage, and in front of him were four enemies who played with their lives, they couldn't advance or retreat, so they could only resist desperately. However, he and Shi Tianci are both in the realm of enchantment, and three of those four people have enchantment cultivation, and one is even in the realm of Lingtai, and with only the two of them, they naturally can't withstand it.
Fortunately, Shi Tianci had already taken precautions, he took out the Dust Falling Boundary Flag, and unleashed it in his hand, releasing a giant ghost. The giant ghost was extremely powerful, and slammed into the four people on the other side. When those four guys saw it, how could they dare to come hard? When it comes to fighting alone, none of them is afraid of the giant power ghost, but in this small place, comparing themselves with the giant power ghost, isn't that looking for death?
These four people turned around and went to fight with the boss and others, the Lingtai monk sacrificed a black lotus gourd, and pinched the law with his hand, and the black lotus gourd immediately emitted a thick blood flame black smoke, the blood flame black smoke is the most vicious, pervasive, the enemy is a little stained, it is like a bone appendage, no matter how high the mana, it will inevitably fall to the ground in a coma, the whole body is ulcerated, turned into a pool of pus and blood, and there is no physiology.
The sixth and seventh were the closest to this Lingtai monk, and they bore the brunt of the attack, and they were smoked by the black smoke of the blood flames, and they fell to the ground in an instant, unable to move.
The boss, the second and others hurriedly controlled the magic weapon and launched the second ** blow. The three enchantment monks on the other side fell down together and died in Huangquan, but although the powerhouse of the Lingtai realm was seriously injured, he stood tall and could not fall, while urging the black lotus gourd to continue to release blood flames and black smoke, while wielding a giant axe, fighting desperately.
Lao Wu was overwhelmed, holding a big shield, trying to block this strong man, but he used a giant axe to split the shield in half at once!
At this time, Shi Tianci's powerful ghost finally killed slowly, and he slapped his big hand and slapped the monk to the ground. The eldest child, the second, the third and fourth children were forced to retreat step by step by the blood flame and black smoke, and did not dare to step forward. Shi Tianci took out the red dragon claw, grabbed it in the air, and grabbed the black lotus gourd in his hand.
The powerhouse of that Lingtai realm has been shot to death by the giant power ghost, therefore, this black lotus gourd has become an ownerless thing, and he only needs to sacrifice and practice it before it can be used as his magic weapon. After the black smoke of the blood flame finally dissipated, the boss and the other four people cautiously walked over and cleaned up the battlefield.
They killed a total of eight opponents, the eight storage bags were placed together intact, and in addition, their magic weapons were also taken out, plus the magic weapons of the dead fifth, sixth and seventh, and everyone divided them equally.
Shi Tianci got his wish and got the black lotus gourd, however, he and Tang Kefa were newcomers, so each person was only given one magic weapon, and the other four were each given two.
The one-eyed dragon boss opened his opponent's storage bag and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that it was filled with Chen's copper. This thing is an excellent material for casting, and it is very valuable. He took out all the copper and divided it equally among the six people, and they all made a small fortune. Tang Kefa was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, even Shi Tianci didn't expect that these people would get so much Chentong.
They threw the corpses into the passage of time, and before long, the corpses were decomposed to ashes and disappeared under the ravages of time.
Six people are back on the road, but their mentality has changed. Shi Tianci was deeply impressed by the ruthlessness of the one-eyed dragon boss, this guy not only wanted to rob the opponent's property, but even his own people could be sacrificed. At that time, he asked Shi Tianci and Tang Kefa to block the opponent, which was basically to let them die.
Those people had nowhere to go, they were all red-eyed, if it wasn't for Shi Tianci's preparations, how could they be able to stop it? However, as long as they could delay them for a moment, they could buy time for the second ** blow of the boss and the others. Therefore, the one-eyed dragon boss simply wants to change the commander with a pawn.
The one-eyed dragon was wary of Shi Tianci, he thought that he could kill the enemy by sacrificing the two newcomers, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, Shi Tianci actually used a giant ghost to push the enemy back to them, and instead killed three old partners. This Shi Tianci's strong adaptability and quick brain reaction were all things he didn't expect.
A group of people with their own hearts and minds, experienced dangers along the way, and finally entered the realm of the Valley of Fire. The Valley of Fire is a lava flow, and there was originally a crater here, but I don't know who used the force to divert the lava and flow along the Valley of Fire to other places.
On both sides of the river channel in the Valley of Fire, there are quite a few ground fire trees. However, the Earthfire Tree is not easy to find, as it is symbiotic with the Lava Beasts in the lava flow. After the Earth Fire Tree is connected into a piece, it can provide the Lava Beasts with a fire-attribute spiritual force field to help them improve their cultivation. Lava Beast's dung can provide nutrients for the Earthfire Tree's growth.
Therefore, in order to collect the Earth Fire Tree, you must first pass the Lava Beast level.
As soon as Shi Tianci and the others arrived in the Fire River Valley, the hordes of lava beasts under the Earth Fire Tree opened their eyes vigilantly!
