Chapter 185 Seven Human Leaders Who Have Not Refined Their Bodies

The two miners who were hiding behind the rubble had to stand up after hearing this.

They had witnessed with their own eyes that this young man had beaten away the fire lion, chased into the depths of the magma and returned safely. He was obviously not an ordinary ruthless character, and they were naturally in awe.

"We can accompany you to the gate guards to explain the situation. As for whether they take you to see the leader, we have no control over it." One of the diggers said.

The three of them then came to the entrance of the cave together.

"Young man, where is the fire crystal stone you dug?" The lean guard asked when he saw Yuan Xiao's empty hands.

"I didn't dig out the fire crystal, but I killed a fire lion. I wonder if it counts as a credit?" Yuan Xiao said.

"Did you kill that fire lion that often kills people?" The lean guard was shocked, and then looked at the two diggers behind him with questioning eyes.

The two diggers behind Yuan Xiao took a step forward and said, "Although we didn't see this young man kill the fire lion with our own eyes, he knocked down the fire lion with a few punches and chased it deep into the magma. We witnessed it with our own eyes." What you see.”

The lean guard and the fat guard finally believed that this young man had such strength, and they couldn't help but ignore him. So the fat guard took Yuanxiao and walked halfway up another mountain nearby.

"Brother, why are humans and demons fighting so hard here?" Yuan Xiao asked as he walked.

"Everything is for the fight for the fire crystal. The output of the fire crystal is extremely low, and it has a weak body-refining function. In order to use the fire crystal to survive, the human and demon tribes have to fight for it. At the same time, many people will die in the war. , to ensure that those who survive will get a part of the fire crystal," the fat guard said.

What a cruel fact! In order to compete for the limited fire crystals to survive, they deliberately reduced the number of people through war.

"Is it true that everyone here is bound to die, and there is no exception?" Yuan Xiao asked.

"Yes, you can either wait until the spiritual energy in your body is exhausted and your body will rot and die, or you will die from the mouth of a monster while mining, or you will die at the hands of the opponent during a battle between humans and demons. Even if you get the fire crystal, it can only delay It’s just death, you can’t escape death after all! As for the exception, I only heard from the leader that one person managed to escape from here seven hundred years ago.” The fat guard said.

The two of them had reached the halfway point of the mountain before they knew it. There are several caves on the mountainside, and the human leader's residence is also very simple, located in one of the caves.

The fat guard walked into one of the caves and informed him first. After a while, the fat guard came out of the cave and made a gesture of invitation.

Yuan Xiao walked in without hesitation, and saw that the cave was quite spacious, but without any decoration. An old man with white beard and hair was sitting beside the stone table.

"Isn't it strange, why is this place so simple? I live in precarity every day, waiting for death, how can I have the mood to decorate this place. My name is Qidao, what do you call me?" Qidao asked.

"Beipingzhou Golden Sect Lantern Festival."

"I have just heard about your achievements. You killed the invading fire lion in the mine and chased it deep into the magma. I only ask you, are you serious about this?" Qidao asked, staring at Yuanxiao.

Yuanxiao nodded.

"That's offending!" Qidao said suddenly, then jumped over and punched Yuanxiao.

Yuan Xiao did not dodge, but punched out, and Qidao's fist collided in the air.

Yuanxiao only retreated a foot, but Qidao was blasted several feet away. He flew backwards and hit the cave wall before stopping.

"Yuanxiao, your punch is more convincing than anything else. I believe you killed the Fire Lion!" After Qidao finished speaking, he stood up supporting the wall and walked back to the stone table to sit down.

"I just took action just to test your strength, so don't blame me! With your level of body training, you can already walk sideways in this lawless place, but it's a pity that you can't get out!" Qidao said.

"May I ask how long it has been since Senior Qidao came here? Are there any places here that you suspect are the exits?" Yuan Xiao asked straight to the point.

"This lawless place is said to have existed for more than a thousand years. I was deceived into this place more than 500 years ago. In the past five hundred years, I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers here. In addition to the sea of ​​magma deep in the mine, there is no other place. No other suspected exits were found," Qidao said.

"Then why didn't Senior rush out of the sea of ​​magma?" Yuan Xiao asked.

Qidao gave a bitter smile and said: "Although I am a monk who has overcome the tribulation, he has never practiced the body-refining technique, so his physical body is very weak. He used to be very strong outside. That is because the physical body is blessed by the cultivation power of the tribulation period. "

"After losing the blessing of mana on the physical body, those of us who have no experience in body refining are just like mortals here. Even though my physical body is stronger than others, my strength is limited. I have explored the sea of ​​magma, and at most I have walked to the middle. Where the magma is boiling, it can no longer withstand the high temperature and can only return in vain.”

Yuanxiao immediately knew that what Qidao said was true, because in the process of chasing the Fire Lion just now, he did pass a place where magma was rolling and boiling. After there, the temperature in front is getting higher and higher, and it is naturally more and more difficult for the Qidao who do not specialize in body training.

"I heard that someone successfully escaped?" Yuanxiao asked.

"More than 500 years ago, not long after I came in, I heard from the previous leader that more than 700 years ago, a demon cultivator accidentally broke in. His Taoist name was Hunyuanzi. He practiced a peerless body-refining technique and reached a very high level of body-refining. With his strong body, he killed several monsters in the sea of ​​magma, and finally jumped into the sea of ​​magma, reached the other side of the sea of ​​magma, and disappeared in the dark cave." Qidao said.

"Then how can you be sure that Hunyuanzi must have escaped, rather than died in that cave?" Yuanxiao asked.

"This is because the current demon leader Tieshan happened to meet Hunyuanzi in the human world before coming here. He was also deceived into coming in more than 500 years ago, so the Hunyuanzi he saw was the Hunyuanzi who escaped 700 years ago." Qidao explained patiently.

Yuan Xiao felt relieved. It turned out that after practicing the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique to a very high level, even without the healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl, he could still withstand the damage of the magma sea and reach the other side.

He also practiced the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique given by Wu Lao Mo. Although it is only a small success at present, with the help of the healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl and the purple five-element pearl to transform the fire attribute aura to increase the resistance to fire damage, it should not be a problem to swim to the other side by enduring the magma damage.

"How many people are there in this lawless place now? Are they all waiting to die here?" Yuan Xiao asked.

"According to the introduction of the previous leader, plus what I saw with my own eyes, more than 3,000 human masters have come here in the past 1,000 years, and more than 2,000 demon masters. Most of them have died due to the exhaustion of aura and the decay of their bodies. Currently, there are only more than 1,000 human cultivators and more than 800 demon cultivators left here." Qidao sighed.

"What can you do if you don't want to die? Without any spiritual energy replenishment, you can't withstand the high temperature burning of the magma sea. Moreover, that fire crystal is actually a chronic poison. Although it can be used to refine the body and delay the decay of the flesh, it contains a large amount of fire poison. The fire poison accumulates in the body and destroys the foundation of cultivation. It is also like drinking poison to quench thirst!" Qidao said with a wry smile.
