More than a month later, everyone was getting closer and closer to the hinterland of the mainland, and the vitality and divine power of the world became more and more intense. Rare treasures and medicines could be seen everywhere, and they had gained a lot.
But along with the rare treasures, there are often great demons guarding them, and the further you go into the hinterland, the higher the level of the great demons. Eighth-level demon kings are no longer uncommon, and there are even eight-level intermediate demon kings and above walking around.
With Zhou Yang and Mu Zifeng's powerful spiritual consciousness, whenever they encountered a big demon above the eighth level, they would avoid it in advance.
"It seems to smell like a pomegranate tree!" Yuan Yi suddenly stopped beside a large red river.
The Ironback Lizard King also sniffed his nose, then nodded.
"Where?" Zhou Yang and Mu Han's eyes lit up at the same time. They had absolutely no doubt about Yuan Yi's strong sense of smell.
"It seems to be on the mountain on the other side of the river." Yuan Yi pointed to the opposite side.
It was a high mountain with not much vegetation and rugged rocks. If you look closely, you will see that the mountain is densely covered with large holes.
A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a heat wave.
Obviously, this heat wave did not come from the river in front of us.
The river is about a thousand miles wide, and the mountains are thousands of miles away from the opposite bank.
That heat wave came from the mountains thousands of miles away.
"There must be powerful flames under this mountain. Be careful of the fire demon king on the mountain." Mu Zifeng frowned and reminded.
Zhou Yang nodded and asked Yuan Yi: "Can the fairy pomegranate tree survive in the fire?"
"It should be possible." Yuan Yi was not sure, but there was indeed the smell of the pomegranate tree on the mountain.
"Since there is this tree, I have to try it anyway." Zhou Yang said decisively.
"I smell the scent of the eighth-level demon king, but I can't determine the specific level. However, there are at least a dozen of them." Yuan Yi closed his eyes again to reflect, and said solemnly after a moment.
"So many!" Both Jiu and Wei were surprised.
Not to mention the eighth-level intermediates, they couldn't deal with dozens of eighth-level beginners.
Mu Han's pretty face changed slightly, and she looked at Zhou Yang and said, "It's better not to go, it's too dangerous."
"Fellow Daoist Jiu and brother Wei, the immortal pomegranate liquid will not have much effect on you. So, you two just retreat." Zhou Yang ignored Mu Han, but looked at Jiu and Wei and said solemnly.
The two were silent, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
Treating Zhou Yang as an ally is to find the Misty Holy Land and to protect himself in the wild continent, because the other party is a powerful force.
But in the mountain opposite, there are dozens of eighth-level demon kings, and it is very likely that there will be terrifying existences above the eighth-level intermediate level.
They hesitated in order to seize something useless and put themselves in great danger.
"Let's go." Zhou Yang didn't wait any longer and directly pulled Mu Han onto the river.
Yuan Yi and the Iron-backed Lizard King followed closely.
"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Zhou!" After a long pause, he also jumped onto the water.
"You really don't need to take risks." Zhou Yang turned around and advised.
"Since we are allies, we can't always think about getting benefits, sharing blessings, and sharing hardships!" Jiu said with determination on his face.
Weiye nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Yang didn't try to persuade him anymore. He took Mu Han's hand and took the lead to the other side of the river.
However, the next moment, he frowned, but he did not stop and continued to move forward.
Mu Han naturally sensed something strange and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yang.
"Don't worry, it's just a few water monsters." Zhou Yang said softly.
Mu Han nodded and remained silent.
She believed in Zhou Yang unconditionally.
Just now, there was an eighth-level elementary demon king underwater, and there was a murderous aura.
Zhou Yang also exuded the aura of the God-Conquering Realm at the right time, and brought with him a hint of divine pressure. The demon king knew he was outmatched and hid himself again.
This demon king's Qi-condensing technique was so good that even Yuan Yi, who had an extremely sensitive sense of smell, didn't notice it in advance.
When it sensed the murderous aura, it disappeared again after a moment.
Naturally, the murderous intent just now cannot be hidden for long.
Before reaching the high mountain on the opposite side, an eighth-level demon king appears. The road ahead is so dangerous...
He couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart.
Before, he decided to cross the river because of his own considerations.
Although the mountains opposite were dangerous, if he and Wei left the team, it would be more dangerous to walk in the wilderness unless they returned to the edge.
But they had gone through so many hardships to get here, how could they be willing to just turn back like this.
On the high mountain opposite, although there are dozens of eighth-level demon kings, they do not necessarily live in groups. As long as they are not under siege, if they move forward in a team, their safety is still somewhat guaranteed.
It didn't take long for everyone to cross the river and land on the other side.
Waves of heat rushed towards them, making them feel a little irritable.
"Brother Yuan, please try again." Zhou Yang turned to Yuan Yiyi.
"Yes, the pomegranate tree is on the mountain." Yuan Yi was sure.
"Where are those demon kings?" Jiu asked.
"I only sensed a dozen demon king auras, but I still can't determine the specific grade."
"Are those auras dispersed, or..." Jiu asked.
"Of course it's scattered, with more atmosphere in the west and less in the east."
After hearing the words for a long time, I stopped saying anything.
"Senior, which direction should we go up the mountain?" Zhou Yang asked Mu Zifeng for his opinion.
"There are relatively few caves in the east, and there is less aura of the Demon King. We will climb the mountain from the east." Mu Zifeng looked ahead and made the above decision.
"Okay, let's go east first."
The crowd and the two giant demons quickly headed east along the river bank.
To the north of the river bank is a large forest. The closer to the mountains, the fewer the trees.
No one dared to fly over, but just walked through the woods. Because there are few trees and not many monsters, the speed is not slow.
After more than half an hour, they stopped.
After Yuan Yi sensed it again, he nodded to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang waved his hand, and everyone turned around, facing the heat wave and running northward.
Approaching the bottom of the mountain, although everyone and the two big monsters resisted with their divine power, they still felt unbearably hot, as if there was a fire burning in their bodies.
"Senior, could it be that there is fire under this mountain?" Zhou Yang asked Mu Zifeng for advice.
"Not only at the foot of the mountain, but also in the mountain, and somewhere in the mountain, there doesn't seem to be extraordinary fire." Mu Zifeng's expression was very solemn.
"It's not ordinary fire, so what's the explanation?" Zhou Yang asked doubtfully.
"The ordinary fire in the world of cultivation is divided into three types: heaven, earth and people. Heavenly fire is the strongest, earth fire is the second, and the fire in the human body is the weakest. In other words, even the strongest in the realm of gods, if they have not cultivated extraordinary fire, The Tao fire in the body is also ranked last."
"And above the ordinary fire, there is the strange fire, also known as the absolute fire. This kind of absolute fire is different from the three fires of heaven, earth and man, but comes from outside the territory."
"Coming from outside the territory, doesn't it belong to this universe?" Zhou Yang was a little surprised.
"Yes. Because I have been refining alchemy for a long time, my understanding of fire is also very deep. And I was lucky enough to see a classic book in the Piaomiao Continent. The breath of absolute fire on the high mountain here is different from the classic book. It contains exactly the same information.”
