At this time, Qianqiu noticed that there was a little bit of red left at the corner of Heibu's mouth. He thought it was Heibu's injury, so he reached out to explore. Firstly, he wanted to wipe Heibu's mouth clean, and secondly, he wanted to see the condition of the wound.
Who would have thought that as soon as his finger touched the red spot, he made a "sizzle" sound, and Qianqiu's finger was immediately burned with blood blisters.
"Huh! The temperature is so high!" Qianqiu hurriedly retracted his hand and took a closer look. He saw that these were not red spots, they were clearly fire spots.
"Where are you going, little guy? Why did you take a mouthful of sparkling seeds?" Qianqiu asked while sucking his fingers a few times.
Heibu looked at Qianqiu, turned his head and pointed in one direction.
"Where does this little thing want to take me this time? Last time I was running around in the back mountains, by some strange combination of circumstances, I was led to the place where the River Swallowing Python was kept. Although I got the Wuwu Sword, I almost died there. Now he seems to have discovered something. If there is any chance, then this guy is really a treasure hunting machine!" Qian Qiuxin said, and then let Hei Bu lead the way.
After taking Qianqiu around for a few times in the Fire Maple Forest, Heibu finally came to a stop under a big tree and started digging the soil without any explanation.
Qianqiu looked at the tree in front of him. Looking at the thickness of the trunk, he estimated that it was hundreds of years old.
Heibu dug the soil regardless. Seeing this, Qianqiu felt that something was fishy and started to help dig together.
After digging for a while, Qianqiu felt that the soil was getting hotter and hotter.
"Is there magma under the soil?" Qian Qiuxin asked, and the movements of his hands also sped up a lot, but he was extra careful. If he dug out the magma with his bare hands, it wouldn't be a problem of blood blisters.
Sure enough, within a short time, the soil under his hands began to gradually harden, and the temperature also increased a lot.
"Black cloth, stop digging, let me take a look!" Qianqiu picked up the tireless black cloth and said immediately.
"Mufa - wooden pillar!" Qianqiu chanted with his hands in his mouth, summoning a giant spiked tree to pierce the land.
"Poof!" With a sound, fiery red magma emerged, directly burning the wooden pillars and mercilessly devouring the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
Qianqiu secretly screamed something bad and used water magic to extinguish the fire. Finally, after a while, the magma solidified into rock.
"There is magma under this soil layer, but these trees, flowers and plants are growing well. There must be something blocking it. The hole just dug didn't find any hard rock layer. It must have been destroyed by something. So You can only eat fruits with lava in the black cloth." After some observation and exploration, Qianqiu made some inferences and discovered the problem.
The depth of the soil under this fire maple forest is not very deep. There is magma under the soil, but there is a thick and hard layer of rock between the soil and the magma. In this way, the entire fire maple forest can survive normally. There were so many trees and flowers, but the place where Heibu and Qianqiu dug the soil just now had only a shallow layer of rocks, which allowed Qianqiu to dig through it so easily.
"No wonder the spirit beasts in the Fire Maple Forest suddenly became so rare. It turned out that the rock formations here were broken, causing the temperature of the entire Fire Maple Forest to rise, and the spirit beasts were driven away invisibly. I don't know. Which troublemaker dug such a hole?" Qianqiu thought to himself as he patted the dirt on his hands and understood the situation in front of him.
At this time, Heibu suddenly bared his teeth behind Qianqiu and kept shouting.
Qianqiu turned around hurriedly and saw a spiritual beast standing in the grass behind him.
This spiritual beast is only slightly larger than black cloth. It is covered with a thick layer of brown-black armor. There are sparks in many places on the armor. The mouth of this spiritual beast is long and pointed, and its two claws are on the ground. It was placed neatly in the front, looking harmless to both humans and animals.
"This little pangolin is quite cute." Qianqiu came closer, ready to take a closer look at its appearance.
Unexpectedly, Heibu jumped in front of Qianqiu and stopped Qianqiu's steps.
Qianqiu was wondering, but he didn't expect that the pangolin in front of him smiled evilly, and the two claws in front of him suddenly grew sharp armor, and it leaned over and rushed over.
Qianqiu hurriedly picked up the black cloth and hid aside. The distance between the sharp armor and Qianqiu's arm was only a millimeter.
"The lava pangolin, logically speaking, would not appear here. How could he be so violent? Could it be that he has invaded his territory." Qianqiu thought to himself as he drew his Wuwu Sword and pointed it at the pangolin.
When the pangolin saw Qianqiu, he was not scared away. Instead, he drew his sword and confronted him. He leaned his two claws slightly, and the sharp armor on his claws became longer.
"Brother Strange Frog, come and help me." Qianqiu activated the contract talisman and summoned the strange frog.
The strange frog didn't talk nonsense. As soon as his figure suddenly appeared, he spit out a red water column from his mouth.
Pangolins are very agile. Not only were they not frightened by the water jets, but they easily avoided them.
"Brother Frog, this guy is too flexible!" Qianqiu said via voice transmission.
While the strange frog agreed, he jumped into the sky with all his strength, spread his limbs, and scattered a lot of water droplets. Each water droplet seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds and fell down at an extremely fast speed.
Under this dense water network, the lava pangolin knew that he had no way out, so he dug frantically and jumped into the ground.
"It's gone." Qianqiu looked around vigilantly.
Just when Qianqiu turned around, a sentence came from the depths of Qianqiu's heart: "Qianqiu, be careful behind you."
When Qianqiu reacted and turned around, the pangolin had already jumped out of the ground, leaping high and slashing towards Qianqiu's face.
This time Qianqiu did not dodge, but was blocked by the black cloth that jumped up in time.
Qianqiu hurriedly caught Heibu and quickly checked Heibu's wounds.
But he turned over and over and didn't see any bloody holes on the black cloth's dark skin.
"Are you okay?" Qianqiu confirmed several times and was surprised and happy.
"Qianqiu, there's a fight! Don't be distracted!" The strange frog rushed over in a few steps and spit out a puddle of water at the pangolin.
The lava pangolin burrowed back into the ground, digging holes everywhere.
Qianqiu raised the Wuwu Sword and activated his cultivation: "Water Technique - Blue Wave Sword!"
Lines of water began to swim out from the tip of the sword, and they swam into the holes dug by the pangolins.
"He should come out soon." Qianqiu said with a smile.
The water flowed through the interconnected cave entrances and soon filled the void underground. The lava pangolin had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to break out of the ground.
"Are you finally willing to give up?" Qianqiu said with a smile.
There were a lot of water drops on the lava pangolin's body, which seemed to make him uncomfortable. He kept pulling at it with his paws and shaking off the water drops on his body.
"I forgot to tell you that this is Tiangen water and cannot be dried by fire." Qianqiu said while holding his hands.
He also looked up from time to time to look at Qianqiu who was standing not far away. The emotions in his eyes were shock and anger.
"Qianqiu, this guy is afraid of water." The strange frog reminded him.
Qianqiu nodded and said in his heart: "This guy must be scared. This is a good opportunity to make a contract." So he walked towards the pangolin and said: "How is it? The taste of my Tiangen water is not good."
When the lava pangolin heard what Qianqiu said, he immediately understood what was going on.
"The lava pangolin is a fourth-level spiritual beast. It has the skills to break through earth and armor, as well as the properties of steel. But what you are most afraid of is water. Maybe ordinary water can't do anything to you, but this is the water of Tiangen. You The high temperature on your body cannot make Tiangen Shui disappear, so you can only choose to get rid of it." Qianqiu told the details of the pangolin one by one.
The strange frog standing aside smiled and said through a message: "I didn't expect you to take advantage of Tiangen water. If you only have ordinary water spells, you may not be his opponent, right?"
Qianqiu nodded, looked at the frightened pangolin and said, "I did take advantage of the Tiangen water, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to defeat you. You are too flexible and can break through the earth and escape."
When the lava pangolin heard Qianqiu praising him, he couldn't help but stand up straighter.
"Okay, let me tell you, the purpose of my trip is to find spirit beast companions. If you are willing to travel the world with me, I will also be happy to take you. If you are not willing, you can leave now and continue I won't force you to dig your burrow." Qianqiu sat down, holding the still angry Heibu and looking at the lava pangolin in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the lava pangolin ran away without any hesitation and without looking back.
The strange frog smiled and said to Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, if you look for spiritual beasts with this attitude, how many can you contract? Please be tougher!"
Qianqiu looked at the figure of the lava pangolin. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he murmured: "I don't want you to be forced to follow me. Brother Frog, although it is the contract talisman that restricts you, not me, but after all, I am the one who sent you The contract talisman I created binds you in a way that is almost like a cage. To be honest, I don’t want my partners to suffer like this. If there is a chance in the future, when I have strong strength, I will definitely improve the contract talisman. characteristics."
The strange frog seemed a little moved after hearing this. He was silent for a long time and said, "Qianqiu, we are friends, right?"
"Well, of course they are friends, not a relationship. You are not my spiritual beast, you are yourself, you do not belong to anyone." Qianqiu looked at the strange frog seriously and said.
"This is the first time in so many years that I have encountered such a stupid human being. However, I have to admit that I was very touched by what you said." The strange frog sent the message and barked a few more times.
Qianqiu nodded and said: "Brother Frog, when I made the contract with you, I said that although we travel together because of the contract talisman, you will always be free. If you want to leave, I will definitely pay you back. free."
"No need, it's rare for me to meet a friend worth cherishing. Let's go together." The strange frog said, and then walked over to face Qianqiu, "But, having said that, it is indeed a pity that you just let go of the lava pangolin. After all, It is a fourth-level spiritual beast, and its combat skills are not bad. If I can participate in the sect competition with you, with the two of us here, you will definitely not be bad."
