Chapter 184 Collecting Earth Spirit Fire

The underground cave was pitch black, and the passages inside the cave were uneven.

There was a burnt smell in the cave after a big fire, which made people feel a heavy depression.

Thanks to the reminder of [Avoiding Danger Deduction], Zhou Ling quickly came to this place while avoiding danger.

This underground cave is connected in all directions, and the environment is extremely harsh.

Looking at the irregular passages, Zhou Ling felt that these seemed to be passages for some kind of monsters to crawl.

"Jiji!"

At this time, the sound of the rock rat came from the front.

For the sake of caution, Zhou Ling still let the rock rat explore the way in front.

This kind of underground cave is very uncomfortable for cultivators, but for the rock rat, it is like a fish in water and extremely adaptable.

Then, Zhou Ling walked towards the direction where the rock rat sent his thoughts.

At the same time, the [Gathering Qi] talent on his body was activated.

The breath on his body changed. At this moment, he was like a rock in the cave. If he didn't move.

It was difficult to feel his presence.

These cave passages are extremely spacious. If they are monster passages, the grade of the monster will not be low.

So no matter how careful you are, it is not too much.

Especially through [Danger Avoidance Deduction], there is still a third-level fire scale beast in this cave.

In the following journey, Zhou Ling followed the stone rock rat while exploring quickly with his spiritual sense.

With the induction instructions of [Searching the Mountain for Treasures], his direction was clear.

Otherwise, in this messy passage, even if he searched for several months.

He might not be able to find the location of the spiritual flame.

After walking quickly for an incense stick of time, Zhou Ling felt that the temperature in the cave passage was getting higher and higher.

And he also found through his spiritual sense that at the end of the cave in front, there was a flowing magma river.

Walking out of the cave, Zhou Ling seemed to have come to an underground world.

This place is extremely spacious, with a magma river passing through the middle, almost reaching more than a thousand feet, and there are some rock caves on the rock walls on both sides.

This kind of amazing place also shocked Zhou Ling.

But what made him even more happy was that he had seen the ball of heaven and earth spiritual fire.

On the slowly flowing hot lava river, on a deep red rock a hundred feet away from Zhou Ling, a brown flame shaped like a small earth turtle was rising.

When the brown flame flickered, the flames bloomed, like the thick tortoise shell of an earth turtle, which was very strange.

[You are observing the third-grade earth spirit fire, intermediate observation +1]

[You are analyzing the third-grade earth spirit fire, intermediate analysis +1]

[Your beast flame, blue lotus spirit flame, five elements spirit flame, Qianyang true fire absorb earth spirit fire, five elements thunder +1, beast flame, blue lotus spirit flame, five elements spirit flame, Qianyang true fire grade +1, five elements thunder body +1]

"Third-grade earth spirit fire!"

"Can it also temper and condense spiritual power?"

With the opening of the two talents, Zhou Ling carefully observed the spirit flame.

It can be clearly seen that the fire and earth spirit power contained in the small brown flame is a few points stronger than the beast flame in his body.

Moreover, it is constantly absorbing the fire and earth spirit energy released from the magma.

I think the condensation of this earth spirit fire is related to this magma.

And now the spirit flame has reached the third grade. If it can give birth to spiritual intelligence, it will be too difficult to subdue it.

Unless there is an absolute means of suppression.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, the spirit flame will choose to self-destruct at any time.

This kind of heaven and earth spirit flame is violent. Once it has spiritual intelligence, it will be difficult to subdue it.

What makes Zhou Ling happy is the attribute of this earth spirit fire.

Since it can speed up cultivation.

Once it is successfully refined, a kind of spirit fire will be continuously produced in the body.

And this spirit fire will burn the spiritual power in the body every moment.

This is like the body is in a state of cultivation at all times, and this state of cultivation is even more effective than high-level exercises.

Now, Zhou Ling is more determined to collect and refine this spirit flame.

[Avoid danger deduction: Under the hundred-foot stone rock, danger is hidden. 】

【You are going to subdue the Earth Spirit Fire, disturb the Fire Scale Beast, and fight with it. Life and death are unpredictable, please be careful!】

Zhou Ling's eyes swept quietly, and soon found the Fire Scale Beast under the magma a few feet to the right of the Earth Spirit Fire.

The magma here flows slowly, but the flame breath is extremely strong.

It is even more vigorous than the Earth Spirit Fire.

The magma flowing by seems to be attracted by something, and the speed will naturally slow down.

"This is the third-level Fire Scale Beast!"

Zhou Ling swallowed his saliva and felt a little dry in the mouth.

【You are observing the third-level Fire Scale Beast, intermediate observation +1】

【You are analyzing the third-level Fire Scale Beast, intermediate analysis +1】

With the opening of the two talents, Zhou Ling also had information about this Fire Scale Beast in his mind.

The Fire Scale Beast is a strange beast that lives in the Earth Fire magma.

It has the attribute of fire and is powerful.

It usually does not leave the underground magma.

It likes to feed on flames.

It seems to be in a weak state now.

And through the analysis of the Earth Spirit Fire just now.

The Earth Spirit Fire is also in a weak state.

Zhou Ling speculated that the Fire Scale Beast and the Earth Spirit Fire probably wanted to swallow each other.

But now it seems that no one can do anything to the other, so they have been in a state of stalemate and consumption.

"This is a good opportunity!"

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed, this Fire Scale Beast is a third-level early stage monster.

It would be great if he could avoid it.

Zhou Ling would not be so arrogant as to provoke a third-level monster.

But now he does not have many options to collect this earth spirit fire.

Both sides are in a weak state now, and for him, that is the best opportunity.

However, Zhou Ling did not intend to fight this fire scale beast directly.

After all, with his strength, the chance of defeating the fire scale beast is not great, and the opponent is in the magma, almost invincible.

And once the fight starts, it is very likely to alarm the earth spirit fire, and then it will be alarmed and dive into the magma river, and it will be too difficult to find it again!

So, he decided to adopt a strategy.

Since the fire scale beast likes to feed on spiritual flames, let the beast flame lead it away.

With the speed of the beast flame, the fire scale beast will definitely not be able to keep up.

At that time, he will take action to collect the earth spirit fire.

And the beast flame is not weak, even if it is caught up by the fire scale beast, it can block it.

As for dealing with the earth spirit fire, the combination of Qianyang True Flame and Five Elements Spirit Flame, plus his own fire attribute magical power, should be enough to suppress it.

After all, other means are useless against this kind of spiritual flame.

You can only fight fire with fire.

The plan was drawn up, Zhou Ling moved his mind, and the beast flame flew out from his palm.

The rising beast flame jumped quickly, and it seemed to be conveying an extremely joyful breath.

It soon condensed into a flame form of Haoyang Bird.

It was like the resurrection of Haoyang Bird, and it made a cry.

Seeing that the beast flame seemed to be stronger, Zhou Ling's face was happy, and he immediately controlled the beast flame and rushed towards the underground magma.

"Beast flame, go!"

Looking at the beast flame in the air like a flame Haoyang bird, Zhou Ling stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the fire scale beast in the magma was, and shouted in his mouth.

In an instant, the beast flame flapped its fire wings and rushed straight towards the flame magma.

"Roar!"

The dull beast roar suddenly exploded from the magma river.

The fire-scale beast was quickly awakened, and it seemed to sense the presence of Beast Flame, and it roared directly.

Because Zhou Ling was still some distance away from it at this moment, and with the help of the [Condensing Qi] talent.

The fire-scale beast did not notice his presence.

Huff!

I saw dark red magma splashing up from the magma river, like boiling water splashing out of a pot.

A giant beast with a dragon-like appearance and flaming scales all over its body suddenly jumped out of the magma and pounced on the flying Beast Flame.

At the same time, it roared at Beast Flame, and then a deep red fireball ejected from its mouth and bombarded Beast Flame.

Boom!

A deafening sound.

Beast Flame and the fireball collided violently.

The fireball was directly penetrated by Beast Flame.

It turned into a sky full of flames and scattered into the magma river.

"Roar!"

The fire-scale beast roared angrily and pounced on Beast Flame.

The beast flame flapped its wings and flew quickly along the underground magma river.

The fire scale beast could only chase it quickly in the magma river like a huge fish.

Watching the fire scale beast gradually go away, Zhou Ling activated the spiritual flame in his body and shouted, "Five Elements Spiritual Flame, Qianyang True Fire, go!"

"Hoo!"

"Hoo!"

Two streams of flames instantly rushed towards the earth spirit fire on the rock.

The fight between the fire scale beast and the beast flame just now took place on the magma river. Although the momentum was not small, it did not have much impact on the earth spirit fire.

At this moment, the earth spirit fire has no intelligence, and all its reactions are more from instinctive feelings.

The beast flame did not show hostility to it, so it was not affected.

But this time, the two bombarding spiritual flames were completely different.

The earth spirit fire felt a threat.

"Hoo!"

The flames of the earth spirit fire rose violently, as if it turned into a flaming turtle.

This flame ‘earth turtle’ opened its mouth and spurted out flames, trying to devour and burn the Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire.

Bang!

The three flames suddenly collided.

Although the Earth Spiritual Earth Fire was fierce, it was quickly suppressed by the bombardment of the other two spiritual flames.

[Your Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire absorb the Earth Spiritual Earth Fire, Five Elements Thunder Gang +1, Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire Grade +1, Five Elements Thunder Body +1]

Soon the Earth Spiritual Flame was pierced, and the Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire directly bombarded the Earth Spiritual Earth Fire.

Although the Earth Spiritual Earth Fire is of the third grade, it is not a period of complete victory now.

Moreover, the Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire are already in the middle stage of the second grade. In a two-to-one situation, the advantage is obvious.

The Earth Spiritual Earth Fire flashed with red flames, and then a turtle-like brown flame light condensed in front of it to block the attack of the two spiritual flames.

For a moment, the three flames formed a stalemate.

[Your Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire absorb Earth Spiritual Fire, Five Elements Thunder Gang +1, Five Elements Spiritual Flame and Qianyang True Fire Grade +1, Five Elements Thunder Body +1]

Although in a stalemate, the two spiritual flames condensed by Zhou Ling are constantly absorbing the flame energy to increase their own power.

And the Earth Spiritual Fire is constantly being consumed.

The breath is getting weaker and weaker.

"Seal!"

Seeing that the Earth Spiritual Fire has been completely suppressed by the two spiritual flames, Zhou Ling recited the spell and directly cast a fire seal on the Earth Spiritual Fire.

A flame spiritual light quickly shot into the body of the Earth Spiritual Fire.

The Earth Turtle form condensed by the Earth Spiritual Fire roared violently, but soon the light gradually dimmed.

It quickly shrunk until it was only as big as a palm.

"receive!"

Zhou Ling stretched out his finger again, and a burst of purple-gold light flashed.

The purple-gold cauldron flew out.

It quickly rolled towards the earthly fire.

The earth spirit earth fire has been sealed.

Facing the absorption of Zijin Furnace, it was simply unable to resist.

Not to mention the Five Elements Spiritual Flames, they were quickly swept into the cauldron by the spiritual flames.

"fall!"

Seeing the earth spirit and earth fire being put into the purple golden cauldron, Zhou Ling hit two more seals to seal it inside the cauldron.

Now the already weak Earth Spirit Earth Fire has lost the supply of flame energy around it.

Soon it fell into dormancy.

Today, the stakes are too high.

The fire scale beast might come back soon, so Zhou Ling naturally didn't dare to refine the earth spirit and earth fire here.

We can only seal it first, bring it back to Ziyun Sect, and then refine it.

Then, he was about to send his thoughts to Beast Flame so that it could return.

But his eyes just glanced at the place where the earth, spirit and earth fire were originally surrounded.

[You discovered the fourth-level Burning Flame Essence Stone, and searched the mountains for treasure +1]

"Level 4 Burning Flame Essence Stone!"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but murmured with joy on his face.

No wonder the earth spirit and earth fire don't want to leave this place even if the fire scale beasts are watching around.

It turns out that there is a fourth-level Burning Flame Essence Stone here.

Following Zhou Ling's thought, the furnace sword roared out.

Then he slashed at the crimson rock.

Suddenly fire burst out.

What surprised Zhou Ling was that the middle-grade spiritual sword, the Furnace Sword, actually only made a small crack on the rock.

"This is happening!"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed. Such a large piece of fourth-order burning flame stone was of immeasurable value.

Then with a movement of spirit, he rolled the nearly half-foot-wide rock directly in front of him.

[You are observing the fourth-level Burning Flame Essence Stone, intermediate observation +1]

[You are analyzing the fourth-level Burning Flame Essence Stone, intermediate analysis +1]

With the emergence of two talents.

Zhou Ling learned that this fourth-level Burning Flame Essence Stone is an extremely precious weapon-refining material, and it contains extremely powerful burning power.

If you are tempering a treasure, adding it to it can greatly increase the power of the treasure.

To put it simply, just like the furnace sword in Zhou Ling's hand now, if the burning stone is added, the power will definitely be different from that of a high-grade spiritual sword.

"It seems that the Burning Flame Essence Stone is the base of Earth Spirit Earth Fire."

Zhou Ling murmured.

However, the opportunity was urgent, and he did not watch carefully.

With a thought, the burning stone was directly rolled into the storage ring.

Then he put away the spirit flames and the purple golden cauldron.

Send thoughts to Beast Flame.

Then he shouted to the Rock Rat lurking in the cave, "Little Shitou, let's leave here first!"

On this trip, not only did they successfully collect the earth spirit and earth fire, but also the oversized Burning Flame Essence Stone, they had far exceeded the task limit.

Therefore, he didn't want to stay long.

As for Beast Flame, it now possesses a certain degree of spirituality.

And with its speed, it won't have any problem getting rid of the Fire Scale Beast.

If it weren't for his lack of strength, Zhou Ling would definitely find a way to kill or capture this fire-scaled beast.

With the spiritual flames on his body, this fire scale beast is a rare treasure to him.

However, our strength did not allow it, so we had to withdraw first.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling fled and left the underground magma river along the original cave.
