Chapter 360: Deep
In the Earth Fire Cave, the tunnels are dense, and they are much more complicated than the original mine caves of the Water Spirit Gate.
The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has occupied this place for hundreds of years, during which countless monks have entered it to collect earth fire, and in order to obtain high-quality earth fire, almost everyone is desperate to find the remains of the molten eruption, and the cave is full of holes. Occasionally, if you dig up the erupted magma, you will die.
Magma erupts, sealing some of the caverns and then slowly solidifying and eventually re-becoming new rock walls.
Generations of monks, mining, digging, dying......
Cycle.
Earthfire caverns, getting bigger, deeper, more complex. In the end, an underground world was almost formed.
It's called the Underworld, and it's no surprise. In terms of geographical area, this place has far exceeded some small sects, and from top to bottom, there is a strong sense of hierarchy and complex terrain.
Moreover, there are a lot of monks here, according to the records of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, there are 31,570 monks in the foundation building period in the Earth Fire Cave at the maximum.
However, after a large number of monks entered the Earthfire Cave, they never came out again. In fact, there is not one in a hundred that can come out of it.
Ishikawa walks slowly along a narrow tunnel.
Looking at the complex tunnel, Ishikawa remembered the time when he encountered the Flower Shadow Dance.
After experiencing the battle of the mine, Ishikawa naturally attached great importance to the mine map. So Ishikawa slowly sketched out the map as he went.
In the sea of Ishikawa's divine consciousness, clumps of weak divine power were piled up into the appearance of a mining cave. As Ishikawa deepened, the cave grew longer and more complex.
In this way, the whole cave is clearer and clearer in Ishikawa's heart.
The Golden Wing Sparrow Spirit and the ten Silver Wing Sparrow Spirits were also summoned by Ishikawa.
They are all possessed by Ishikawa.
The fire spirit here is extremely abundant, and it is of great benefit to the finch spirit.
The Silver Wing Sparrow Spirit is very respectful to the Golden Wing Sparrow Spirit, but whenever it encounters a weak fire spirit, it does not dare to devour it, and let the Golden Wing Sparrow Spirit swallow it all.
"Shi Xiaoyou, there are abundant fire spirits here. It's really a treasure place for my Sparrow Spirit clan to cultivate, I didn't expect such a wild planet to have such a place. The Golden-Winged Sparrow Spirit said happily, "This place is even comparable to a small city on my Sparrow Spirit Star." ”
Ishikawa's purpose in coming here was to find a large number of fifth-order earth fires for escape. By the way, let the Silver Wing Sparrow Spirit improve its strength, if these ten Silver Wing Sparrow Spirits are all promoted to the Jindan Stage Spirit Body, then Ishikawa's strength will be greatly increased, and the trip to leave the territory will definitely not be the slightest bit dangerous.
"Can the senior sense the high-level earth fire?" Ishikawa asked.
Although Ishikawa has cultivated the Five Spirit Transformation Technique, Ishikawa's own spiritual root is still an earth spiritual root, and he doesn't have much perception of fire spirits.
"Xiaoyou rest assured that my Sparrow Spirit clan lives by fire and is born because of fire. But if there is a high-level earthfire, it will not escape our detection. By the way, Xiaoyou came here to find a fifth-order earth fire?" asked the Golden-winged Sparrow.
"Exactly!" Ishikawa replied. Ishikawa didn't bother to explain the experience to the Golden Wing Sparrow.
"As far as I can see, this is only the top of the Earth Fire Cave, and looking at the very smooth ground of you, it is obvious that it has been walked by people many times, and there has never been any magma passing through, this kind of place, it is impossible to find a high-level Earth Fire. ”
"What do you mean?" Ishikawa asked.
"If you want to find a high-level earth fire, you must go down, and the deeper you are underground, the greater the probability of discovering a high-level earth fire. But it also depends on Xiaoyou's ability to bear. As long as you can find the molten lava, we can use the spirit body to obtain fire spirit from it. "It was rare for the Golden Winged Sparrow to see such a place with such an abundance of earth fire, and he spared no effort to persuade Ishikawa to go down.
The so-called bearing capacity is nothing more than the amount of ice fruit stuffing. As long as there is enough ice fruit brew to expel the fire spirit scorching, it should be able to penetrate far and wide. ...,
Ishikawa groaned slightly, not long ago, Ishikawa had arranged for Ahuizotl to brew a spirit wine with an icy cold attribute, but it was not clear whether this spirit wine could achieve the effect of ice fruit brewing. So Ishikawa is not in a hurry to go down quickly.
"The earth fire below the fourth order belongs to all the Taoist friends, and the earth fire above the fifth order belongs to me. Ishikawa said, "And fellow Daoists also know that even if I get a fifth-order earth fire, I can't use it. After all, it's still your fellow Daoists. ”
"Good!" The Golden-Winged Sparrow replied with a laugh.
Ishikawa wanted a fifth-order earth fire in order to use the Bird Spirit Secret Technique to escape. And the one who performed this technique was, of course, the Golden Winged Sparrow. So there is no reason for the Golden Wing Sparrow to disagree.
And those silver-winged sparrows, who only obeyed the orders of the golden-winged sparrows, categorically did not dare to disagree.
Tunnel after tunnel, like a labyrinth, Ishikawa walked all the way down, walking for five or six hours, and did not meet a single monk.
When no one is around, the Golden Wing Sparrow Spirit and the Silver Wing Sparrow Spirit can roam at will, and in the tunnel, even the smallest spiritual power is devoured by them.
Along the way, Ishikawa also discovered a serious problem. That is, ice fruit stuffing is extremely expensive.
As Ishikawa went deeper into the cave, the momentum of the earth fire became more and more violent, and although Ishikawa had already run the Dao method to resist the impact of the fire spirit, his entire body was still burned by the earth fire.
On the rock wall, it was already slightly red, and it was a little hot to the touch.
The whole cave was so quiet that no creature could survive in such a place.
Occasionally, Ishikawa can also hear a very faint, viscous sound of lava flowing.
I don't know if the sound was coming from underground, or from behind the rock wall.
According to the calculation of No. 1, they have more than 20 pots of spirit wine, which can last for a month. But as he went deeper, Ishikawa found more than 20 pots of spirit wine, and it would be good to be able to hold on for ten days.
And as it continues to go deeper, the more ice fruit brewing consumes.
In less than a day, under Ishikawa's economical drinking, the ice fruit brew was still consumed.
Ishikawa had no choice but to take a few big sips of the cold spirit wine that had just been brewed in the Immortal Mansion before forcing out the turbidity of fire in his body.
"A piece of third-order earth fire can be exchanged for a bottle of ice fruit brew!" Ishikawa shook his head with a wry smile.
Although the price is ridiculously expensive, the monks here have no second choice. If Ishikawa didn't have a large amount of spiritual grass planted in the Immortal Mansion and couldn't brew spiritual wine by himself, I'm afraid he would have to be like other monks, desperately digging the earth fire every day in exchange for a life-saving ice fruit brew.
"This spirit wine has to be brewed for seven or eight days before it can ripen, and if it is eaten raw, the spirit fruit will not play a role. Ishikawa sighed and took another big sip of spiritual wine, the spiritual wine that had just been brewed also had the effect of expelling fire spirits, but this effect was very weak.
................................................
A day later, Ishikawa detoured dozens of tunnels, and after seven or eight dead ends, he finally came to a relatively empty cave.
It was about four or five hundred zhang wide, and in the middle was a huge magma, and in the midst of the magma, thick black smoke and purple-red flames were tumbling.
Around the lava, there are quite a few monks scattered around.
Ishikawa looked at it a little, and there were about hundreds of people.
Someone gathered in a corner, as if discussing something. Others are surrounded by magma, not squinting.
There were also some people who actually found a place, put out some pills and spirit wine, and started trading.
Ishikawa guessed in his mind that this should be a rest point and a trading point.
From the entrance of the cave to this place, Ishikawa has not found an earth fire above the third order, which means that the earth fire above has been almost collected by the monks.
If you want to collect a more advanced earth fire, you must go down.
However, it takes at least a dozen hours to turn in the earth fire and buy ice fruit stuffing every day.
It would be much more convenient to be able to trade here. ..., "Boy, did you just arrive?"
As soon as Ishikawa appeared, he attracted the attention of several groups of people.
Four or five groups of people slowly approached Ishikawa.
"Geng Er, this is my place, don't rob me of people!" shouted a stout man.
"Where is you?" Geng Lao Er was a very short man, only half the height of an adult, but his head and limbs were extremely large, and he looked very strange.
"When I, Geng Er, came here, I'm afraid you weren't born yet!" Geng Lao Er snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that brawls are not allowed here, I would have turned you into ashes a long time ago." ”
"Boy, come here!" said the stout man, pointing at Ishikawa.
"Yo, there's a newcomer again, and the skin is still thin and tender, and the skin will be scorched as soon as the fire is roasted. A woman in red makeup also floated in.
Ishikawa glanced at these people and said coldly, "I didn't have the idea of joining you, so you don't have to work hard." ”
With that, Ishikawa walked straight through the crowd.
"Hahaha...... There's another backbone one!" Geng Lao Er laughed, and after smiling, his face turned cold: "Keep an eye on him for me, as soon as you leave here, kill him immediately!"
"Yes!" the foundation-building monks departed quickly.
"Two more!" shouted someone else.
Sure enough, from the entrance, two more people came out. These two people are No. 1 and No. 2, and they have made a lot of detours, arriving a little later than Ishikawa.
"You two come here!" the stout man was visibly annoyed by Ishikawa's performance just now.
"Get out!" between No. 1's teeth, two words were squeezed out, and the cold light in his eyes made the thick man snort.
"These two people's cultivation is not low!" said the stout man as he looked at the number one and number two who were far away.
"In the Earth Fire Cave, what's the use of cultivating to a high or low?" Geng Lao Er pouted and said: "The recent newcomers are becoming more and more uninteresting, and a few of us are united, and we can't let them waver, it seems that this time has been too comfortable, we should kill a few people and go to the fire." ”
"It's long overdue. The thick man sneered and said, "These two will be handed over to Brother Geng, and I will deal with the previous one." ”
