In the early morning of the next day, the three of them packed up their things at about the same time, got up and continued running towards the depths.
There is a lava volcano in the Flame Mountain. Although it has not erupted for thousands of years, magma or flames will erupt from the gaps in the mountain from time to time.
The surface of the entire mountain is burnt black, and it looks bare from a distance. When you get closer, you realize that there are also patches of forest on the mountain...
But these are all strange-shaped stone forests that reach into the sky.
Yu Wan has been walking forward for more than an hour. The further forward, the steeper the slope of the ground becomes and the less green there is around.
After walking forward for half an hour, she came across a towering stone forest that was completely vertical to the ground.
Covered by divine consciousness, the stone forest is the same for more than a hundred miles to the left and right in front...
The surface of the stone forest is pitch black. When walking on it, you need to always be careful of the gaps...
Because that might not only be the lair of the Explosive Flame Tiger, but it might also be one of the passages leading to the underground lava.
Yu Wan tapped his feet lightly on the ground and jumped up to the protruding place in the stone forest...
She spread her awareness and alert while slowly moving upward and forward.
After a moment, I noticed a gap about 1 feet in front of me on the right...
She slowly put her consciousness in and moved towards that place while holding her breath.
At this time, the Explosive Flame Tiger who had been refining Qi for the eighth level in the cave was sleeping on the withered yellow spiritual grass.
Yu Wan took the opportunity to turn over and took out the Huangdao with his right hand, then kicked hard on the rock wall above his head with both feet.
She flew out like an arrow from a full bow, waving the sword in her hand, and a cold light appeared...
Gudong~
The head rolled to the ground, and the Explosive Flame Tiger, who was still sleeping, died in his dream.
After putting away the tiger corpse, Yu Wan searched the entire cave with his spiritual consciousness.
It's a pity that except for the withered yellow spirit grass lying under the Explosive Flame Tiger, the rest of the place is a scene of a family with only four walls.
Fortunately, Yu Wan didn't have any expectations. She withdrew her consciousness and looked down at the withered grass...
It stands to reason that the temperature on Lieyan Mountain is extremely high, and almost no grass can grow on it. Why are the leaves of this withered grass so full and not even shriveled at all...
While thinking, Yu Wan picked up one and examined it carefully.
Hiss~
His consciousness attached to it, and when he was about to reach into the leaf, he was immediately burned, causing Yu Wan to quickly withdraw his consciousness.
She guessed that this should be a special kind of spiritual grass, so she put all the dead grass on the ground into the ring on her right middle finger. This was the ring given by Lord Yu Zhen.
Only after taking them all away, Yu Wan discovered that there was a crack as wide as a thumb under the cover of withered grass.
At this moment, the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook, and the amplitude became larger and larger...
Yu Wan felt the gradually rising temperature and felt bad. This was a magma crack!
She immediately bent her legs, jumped up with all her strength, and hurriedly clawed her way out through the crack above her head...
At this time, bright red tongues of fire also spurted out from the crack in the ground in the cave over and over again. With a loud bang, the crack was blown out to the width of a hand and the length of an arm. Hot tongues of fire and magma spurted out in one fell swoop, filling it up in an instant. The whole cave...
Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the tongues of fire that had emerged from the surface of the stone forest...
Fortunately, I almost died here.
Unexpectedly, this withered grass can actually suppress magma. I can pay more attention to collecting it later.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yu Wan turned around and continued to move forward slowly.
This stone forest was so big that it took Yu Wan half a month to get out. At this time, she also reached the top of the mountain.
However, although she spent the past half month in the stone forest, her gains were also extremely large. Now she has killed 600 Explosive Flame Tigers.
After regaining her energy, she identified the direction and descended from the north side of the mountain...
Zhuangzixi also climbed to the top of the mountain at this time, and gained a lot...
Not long after he entered Wuyan Mountain, he encountered a group of Explosive Flame Tigers fighting for territory...
It took him a lot of effort to kill them all, and then he went very smoothly along the way.
Now half a month has passed and he has harvested more than 900 pieces.
After taking a rest for a while, he rushed down the mountain to the south...
Kong Wuyou was more unlucky than the other two, perhaps because of the tiger's roar that night before entering the mountain...
Since she entered the mountain, she has rarely encountered monsters outside. Basically, she has to find caves one by one and go in to fight...
In this way, in the past half month, she has only harvested 200 animals, which is still far from the target of 1,000.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, taking a bite of the ice maple cake, Kong Wuyou continued to spiral towards the top of the mountain...
Halfway up the mountain on the north side of Lieyan Mountain.
"Huh huh huh~"
"Hahaha~"
The pink monster was lying on the ground howling in pain. Its two front hooves kept clawing backwards, trying to break away from the stone that was pressing down on its hind hooves.
Yu Wan was nearby at this time, and she also heard the sound.
Listening to the closer and closer hums and haha sounds, she finally saw the picture with her spiritual consciousness.
At the edge of the range of consciousness, two strange pink monsters are trying to break free from the rocks behind them...
The hind bodies of these two monsters are connected together, with a head on the front and back, both of which look like piglets...
The ears of one of them were so big that Yu Wan couldn't see clearly the one behind it that was pressed by a stone.
As he slowly walked in, the one with the big ears became obviously panicked and screamed louder and faster.
"Hahaha~~haha~"
It's a pity that no matter how loud it screams and how anxious it is, the one behind it still can't break away from the stone.
"Huh~huh~huh~"
This is, and sealed?
Yu Wan had already walked up to the big-eared pink pig. Looking at the appearance of the monster, Yu Wan made an uncertain guess.
No, it was mentioned in the Spiritual Beast Chronicles that Bingfeng was black and had long black hair on his neck.
This one is so pink and tender, it really doesn’t look like...
She watched the big-eared pink pig's mouth open and close, making hahaha sounds.
Behind it, the pink pig stuck its head under the stone and made a grunting sound.
What a strange monster...
While thinking about it, Yu Wan took out the Huangdao and slashed at the boulder that was holding it down.
When the big-eared pink pig saw Yu Wan taking out a kitchen knife with a black blade, it thought she was going to chop off its handsome pig head, so it immediately started barking non-stop.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
Yu Wan first slashed horizontally with the sword, then raised the blade and slashed vertically towards the stone. After two brush strokes, she put away the brilliant sword.
After a breath, the stone that held the pink pig down fell and turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.
The pink pig wanted to take advantage of the situation and escape, but unfortunately Yu Wan, who was a step ahead, tied up its four front hooves with spiritual energy ropes and dragged him back.
At this time, seeing that the pink pig whose front hoof was pressed by the stone was unharmed, it was enough to see the exquisiteness of Yu Wan's sword skills at this time.
Yu Wan looked at the same-style pig head with weird big eyes, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of monster it was. It was not afraid of the high temperature here.
The big-eyed pink pig also stared at Yu Wan with wet eyes, seemingly hoping that she could use her cute eyes to turn Yu Wan into a cute girl so that she could save the two of them.
"Hahaha~~haha!!"
This is the big-eared pink pig behind it that keeps barking, and you can hear the questioning and angry tone.
At this time, Yu Wan stared at those big eyes, and his eyes gradually lost focus.
Then a green light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he felt a slight pain on the back of his hand, and Yu Wan woke up.
What a risk, I didn't expect that I could still be confused by that pink pig after I had opened my delusion eyes.
She was amazed in her heart and hurriedly looked at the back of her right hand.
I saw two neat rows of tooth marks on the back of my hand, and a faint trace of blood oozed from the depths of the tooth marks.
Then the sea of consciousness shook, and two pink and white light groups appeared.
Yu Wan:! ! !
What! ! This monster actually signed a contract with me while I was confused.
What kind of bad luck is this? ! !
Yu Wan tied a few more spiritual ropes to the pink pig monster, trapping them firmly on the ground. At the same time, she took out a piece of black cloth and covered her eyes at the front and back.
Then she hurriedly meditated and entered the sea of consciousness, hoping to terminate this damn contract...
After a long while, Yu Wan, who had her eyes closed, sighed deeply, slowly opened her eyes, and stared blankly at the pink pig on the ground.
It turns out to be a life-and-death contract that cannot be broken. If the owner dies and the spirit beast dies, the spirit beast dies and the owner will also suffer heavy losses...
How does this monster know the life and death contract...
Although he is the master in this contract, he is still so angry! !
…
Alas~
For a moment, Yu Wan sighed helplessly, closed her eyes and returned to the sea of consciousness, and started talking with the two light groups...
Half an hour later, she slowly opened her eyes, took back the spiritual rope that bound them, and said to them, "You lead the way."
Just now through the communication in the sea of consciousness, Yu Wan also knew their approximate origin.
Heng Heng said that they had been staying in the Shenji Mountains since they became conscious, and then they wandered around and ended up here.
They had just come from Qingyan Mountain half a month ago. They originally planned to slowly return to the Shenji Mountain Range from this mountain, but they were trapped by the sudden collapse of stones in the stone forest and could not break free...
Then, I met Yu Wan.
In order to save its life, it can only choose a contract.
As for why they knew so much and even had spiritual intelligence, it said that it didn't know yet. It just said that suddenly one day there were many things in its mind, and it should be that the inheritance was turned on.
The other one, Haha, was not very cooperative, as if contracting with Yu Wan was a particularly humiliating thing.
Yu Wan ignored it. This kind of temper had to be endured for a while. Later, I would make sure to show it why the flowers were so red...
When Yu Wan heard Heng Heng's explanation, he was helpless because he knew that He Heng had not lied due to the contractual relationship...
The Shenji Mountain Range is the junction and separation point between the Ten Thousand Monsters Territory, the Mugu Territory, the Three Saints Territory and the Luanhai Territory. Legend has it that there are millions of mountains scattered in it, and all kinds of monsters and beasts live there. It is not known how they came here safely.
Looking at their cultivation, they are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining...
Helpless, Yu Wan could only accept this reality.
She first named the two beasts based on their sounds, Heng Heng and Ha Ha...
Then, let them take him to the side of Qingyan Mountain.
Of course, Yu Wan also knew the reason why the two beasts were like this from Ha Ha's frustrated cry and He Heng's light ball that became more pink.
They actually took advantage of the opportunity to steal the Yanling Flower in the cave of the Explosive Flame Tiger in the early stage of foundation building on the top of Qingyan Mountain...
Yu Wan was speechless and helpless again. At the same time, she was also worried about Kong Wuyou's safety...
Regardless of the reaction of the two beasts, Yu Wan directly ordered them to lead the way through the contract...
In a rift valley under the summit of Qingyan Mountain, Kong Wuyou was oozing blood from the corners of his mouth and meditating with his eyes closed in a gap on the cliff face.
On her closed eyes, her eyebrows were knitted together...
After a while, with a popping sound, she drew a mouthful of black blood and immediately swallowed three pills and continued to adjust her breath.
Above the rift valley, a gold and silver striped explosive tiger in the early stage of foundation building walked slowly, sniffing the breath in the rift valley with the tip of its nose, checking inch by inch...
Zhuang Zixi had already arrived at the halfway point of Qingyan Mountain and began to circle up the mountain according to his original strategy.
In just half a day of traveling, he captured 55 more Explosive Flame Tigers, leaving only 45 left.
Yu Wan also arrived at the south side of Qingyan Mountain at this time. Not far above her head was the cave of the foundation-building tiger demon.
Because his spiritual consciousness had checked before and knew that the tiger demon was not there, Yu Wan brought Heng Ha over.
At this time, she asked Hengha to hide first, and ran into the cave to check it out.
When she came out, she had already plundered all the dead grass in the tiger demon's cave.
As for the rest, there are only some bones of the Qi Refining Demonic Beast left, which are of no value to be taken away.
Returning to Heng Ha, Heng Hen told Yu Wan in the sea of consciousness that Ha Ha heard the tiger demon wheezing and pacing on the north side of the mountain. It seemed that it was very angry. Sometimes it could also hear soft breathing.
Heng Heng himself also saw the tiger demon sniffing at the cracks in the rift valley.
Yu Wan also knows the abilities of these two beasts. Heng Heng has the ability to see through objects and see far away. Although it can only see situations within 50 miles at present, as its cultivation level increases, its ability will also increase...
Haha has the ability to hear sounds from afar. It can currently hear all sounds within a 50-mile radius, and its nose is also extremely sensitive and can smell smells within a 10-mile radius.
The important thing is that their ability will not be detected, and they say that monsters in the divine transformation stage will not be aware of their detection.
After hearing Heng Heng's description, Yu Wan guessed that the tiger demon was looking for Kong Wuyou.
After instructing Heng Heng to keep the tiger demon informed at all times, Yu Wan led Heng Ha slowly towards the north.
"Someone else is coming!"
Roar!
Just halfway through, a humming reminder came from the sea of consciousness, and at the same time, a tiger roar came from my ears.
"He looks like a little boy, wearing khaki clothes."
It’s Zhuangzixi!
After telling Hengha to hide here, Yu Wan sped over.
Zhuang Zixi circled all the way up, and his spiritual consciousness did not notice anything strange, so he came up directly and alerted the tiger demon who was still searching.
When the Explosive Flame Tiger in the early stage of foundation building saw someone else cultivating it, the anger that the spirit flower was stolen and no one could be found surged up at the same time. After a roar, it rushed towards Zhuangzixi.
Zhuang Zixi was not weak either. He could dodge left and right and shoot out sword light to hit the tiger demon.
Unfortunately, his attacks were basically ineffective, and the tiger demon became even more angry.
It opened its mouth wide and spit out a huge blazing fireball, hitting Zhuangzi River directly.
Zhuang Zixi used his footwork with all his strength and jumped onto the divided ground of the rift valley.
Feeling the instability of the ground under his feet, he jumped to another place again before leaving. The ground under his feet turned into fragments and fell into the magma under the rift.
At this time, the Explosive Flame Tiger also jumped up with all its strength, releasing its pressure and pounced straight towards Zhuang Zixi.
Zhuang Zixi was suppressed by the sudden foundation-building pressure and could not move. He watched helplessly as the tiger demon leaped into the sky and rushed towards him.
Just when the tiger demon's front paws were still three fingers away from the door facing Zhuangzi Creek, a long-handled pot spoon hit the tiger demon's head, knocking the tiger demon directly into the rift valley aside.
There was a clicking sound from the ground beneath it...
Zhuangzixi turned around and saw Yu Wan coming, and took the opportunity to jump out of the rift valley and return to the outside ground.
The tiger demon's head was pressed down by the pot and ladle, unable to get up. He kept roaring in his throat and his body kept struggling.
Yu Wan flew over with the Lingbo Bagua Step and threw out a kitchen knife with a gold body and a silver blade.
The kitchen knife rushed straight towards the Explosive Flame Tiger lying on the rift valley.
Pfft~
Roar!
Click~Boom~
A painful roar came, and then the ground beneath the tiger demon cracked...
Yu Wan only had time to take back the two treasures and the severed tiger hind legs. The remaining tiger body fell directly into the magma below, and no more tiger roars were heard.
"Where's Kong Wuyou?"
Yu Wan took back his things and hurriedly turned to ask Zhuang Zixi.
"I don't know. I just came here not long ago. As soon as I arrived, I saw this tiger monster rushing towards me... I didn't see Kong Wuyou."
At this time, Zhuang Zixi also knew that the tiger demon was actually looking for Kong Wuyou, and quickly told him about the situation on his side.
"Hmph~"
"In the cracks of the rift."
Heng Ha also rushed over at this time. Heng Heng shouted and told Yu Wan the situation in the sea of consciousness.
After knowing Kong Wuyou's location, Yu Wan said directly, "I know where she is, let's go."
After saying that, Yu Wan jumped towards the rift valley near the mountain wall. Upon seeing this, Zhuang Zixi followed closely behind her.
After a while, the two of them found Kong Wuyou, who was hiding on the plane in the rift valley and had recovered. After Yu Wan used the sect's manual to wake her up, the three of them and one beast went to the tiger demon's cave first.
Cover the entire cave with the formation, set up a bonfire at night, throw the processed tiger legs into a pot-belly casserole on the fire, add bean curd, ingredients bag, red jade pepper and crushed ground turmeric. He closed the lid and sat down to chat with the two of them.
The three of them each talked about their own experiences. Yu Wan hid the part where he met Heng Ha, and only said that he accidentally made a contract with the monster in the stone forest.
When Yu Wan and Zhuang Zixi knew that Kong Wuyou had only hunted 200 Explosive Flame Tigers, they felt sad, but they also reassured Kong Wuyou that they would help her hunt the beasts together.
Kong Wuyou's heart warmed when he saw the two of them acting like this. He spoke to them and continued to regulate his breathing to recover.
Yu Wan and Zhuang Zixi looked at each other, then moved to one side and began to cross their legs to regain their energy.
The sun and the moon rotated, and after three hours, the sun slowly came out again, and the sunlight shone faintly on the three mountains of Huoyun.
Inside the cave, a soft glow also fell.
"Hahahaha~"
"Hmph~"
Heng Ha kept circling around the bonfire, and Yu Wan Shi Hai was also noisy.
Haha: It smells so good, it smells so good, I can’t stand it~
Heng Heng: Please be quiet, Wan Wan is still practicing~
Yu Wan: ...You two are so noisy...
Yu Wan reluctantly opened her eyes. She had already fully recovered by this time. She wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, but these two...
She stood up and walked to the pot, checking the heat.
At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see Zhuang Zixi and Kong Wuyou turning their heads in her direction...
Also, she touched her belly. After practicing all night, it was time to have breakfast.
Taking out five white jade bowls filled with white rice porridge and a deep white jade blue and white plate, Yu Wan opened the lid of the pot that had already been washed away by the aroma inside.
Hmm~
In the thick steam, bursts of the aroma of sauce and meat instantly filled the cave.
She took out the hind leg bone, put it on a plate, and then poured a few spoonfuls of sauce on it.
Then he directly turned his spiritual energy into the blade and cut it in four clicks. The leg bone on the plate was evenly divided into five sections.
After pouring two more spoons of sauce, Yu Wan took out a table and shouted, "dinner is ready."
Zhuang Zixi and Kong Wuyou stood up when Yu Wan took out the table. By the time Wan finished speaking, they had already taken out stools and prepared them.
Kong Wuyou thoughtfully took out two stools, placed one on Yu Wan's side, and sat directly next to Yu Wan.
Considering Heng Ha's body shape, Yu Wan took out two more deep plates, took out two pieces of soy sauce bone and put them in respectively, then poured two spoons of sauce on each, then put the Lingbai rice porridge aside and let Heng Ha eat it first. .
After settling down her contracted little ancestor, Yu Wan also sat down. Opposite her was Zhuang Zixi.
The two of them haven't touched their chopsticks yet, they are all waiting for Yu Wan.
At this time, Wanwan sat down. Kong Wuyou took out the spiritual dew and put it to one side. Zhuang Zixi took out the nectar and placed it next to the spiritual dew.
The two of them gave up a lot of meat near the joints to Yu Wan, and each picked up a piece and started to chew on it.
At first, they both used chopsticks reservedly, but after a few nibbles, they saw the inconvenience, so they put down the chopsticks, performed a cleansing spell on themselves, and then started to grab and nibble, using spiritual control to feed themselves from time to time. Lingbai rice porridge.
When Yu Wan saw the two of them like this, he directly used the cleaning technique and started chewing.
Hmm~
After a night of simmering, the hind leg meat has become soft and tender. When you take a bite, the salty sauce mixed with the aroma of the meat pours into your mouth...
The golden fire spirit gently brushed across the lips, bypassed the tongue and teeth, and poured into the abdomen, warming the mouth and abdomen after a lonely night.
Occasionally, I take a mouthful of white porridge to wash my full mouth and prepare for the next wave of sauced meat...
Wow~
The meat close to the bone is also extremely soft and tender. With a gentle bite, it leaves the bone and enters the mouth, dancing with the teeth and tongue.
Zhi~
Zizzi~
Suddenly there was a sizzling sound in the quiet cave, it was everyone starting to suck the marrow from the bones~
Zizzi~
…
Ah, it smells so good~
The three people and one beast who had eaten and drank enough were lying on their backs in their respective positions, rubbing their rounded bellies.
"After refining, let's go down."
After Kong Wuyou finished speaking, Yu Wan and Zhuang Zixi on both sides of her nodded.
So, the three of them packed up and returned to their respective positions to meditate and refine the spiritual energy in their bellies.
After returning to the quiet cave, snoring could be heard after a while. It was Heng Ha who fell asleep...
Hum~
Ha~
Hum~
Ha~
…
