"Come on, let me help you take off your clothes."
The puppet corpse, with only a skeleton left, floated towards Ning with its eyes full of light, its claws as sharp as sharp knives.
What he meant by stripping was skinning.
Ji Ning put up a boxing stance in front of him, his aura solid. Qi Lan, Xue Zhongjing and Zhen Xixi all around him also extended a helping hand.
The four of them fought together against the skeleton puppet flying towards them, their blood energy and sword light flickering, but the skeleton puppet just hit them head-on, and with its tough body, it directly neutralized the four people's attacks.
With a bang, smoke and dust dispersed, and Ning was pushed directly into the wall.
The boy's face was pale, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. His hands were pressed tightly by one bone claw of the vagina, and the other bone claw had already climbed up to his eyeballs. His face was full of excitement and excitement, as if it was trying to kill him. Eyes gouged out.
"Don't be afraid, little Diao, it will be fine soon. You won't have to carry this heavy clothes anymore."
"hateful!"
Behind them, the faces of Qi Lan and others turned pale, with a hint of weakness on their faces. The Yinwu was too powerful, and they were far from their opponents.
Unless, at the cost of his life, he forcibly uses the Cang Gu Bell, there is still a chance to suppress the evil thing temporarily.
But what if they are suppressed? Cang Gu Zhong has been exposed. How can there be room for them in this huge underground palace? Cui Jibo will definitely lead people to attack them, even Xue Zhongjing...
Qi Lan shook his head violently with a hard look on his face. Now was not the time to think about those things. Ji Ning was about to be killed, and he couldn't watch it no matter what.
Uh-huh!
In an instant, a small bronze clock appeared in his hand.
But at this time, a sudden change occurred.
"Boom!"
The scorching magma suddenly boiled and turned into pillars of fire that soared into the sky, illuminating the surroundings of the underground palace.
Some people had no time to escape and were directly hit by the pillar of fire and fell into the sea of fire.
The skeleton puppet made a sharp explosion, and all the yin energy in his body was burned into white air and dissipated. His expression was horrified, as if he was extremely afraid of the flames below. He immediately released Ji Ning and escaped at an extremely fast speed. It went into a gap above, like a reptile hiding in a cave.
A pillar of magma and fire containing pure fire elemental energy exploded in front of Ji Ning, almost engulfing him.
"call!"
Ji Ning landed on a rock and took a breath with a pale face. Then he immediately raised his head and jumped forward.
The boy's thin figure shuttled between the pillars of hot magma and fire at extremely fast speeds, barely stopping at all, and ran more than seventy meters in the blink of an eye.
Qi Lan, Xue Zhongjing and others gritted their teeth and followed Ji Ning closely, stepping on the pillars he passed. They had almost no time to react and just instinctively believed in Ji Ning's judgment.
Zhen Xixi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still followed behind. Several times when she saw the dense pillars of fire in front of her, she retreated. When she wanted to turn to other rocks, she was reminded by Qi Lan. , so she gritted her teeth and followed. As a result, she was not attacked by the pillar of fire.
On the contrary, when she looked back, she saw that several of the places she had previously favored had been swallowed up by the magma.
"We've been tricked, catch up!"
In the chaos, everyone could hardly see the backs of Ji Ning and others. Cui Jibo became furious and hurriedly tried to follow them.
But he couldn't tell which stone was safe. For a moment, everyone was even more confused, and several people fell into the sea of fire.
"Good boy, just wait for me!"
Cui Jibo gritted his teeth and could only stand there, waiting little by little for the magma to erupt.
At this moment, Ji Ning and the others had completely disappeared from their sight.
"Where exactly are we going?"
Behind Ji Ning, Qi Lan couldn't help but ask.
The magma spewing had stopped long ago, but Ning never stopped.
The blood on his chest dropped countless times along the way. It was melted into mist by the high temperature, and his breath became more and more unstable.
"It should be safe in front..."
Ji Ning looked pale and looked up at the darkness at the end of his sight.
If the map is correct, there should be quite a large piece of land ahead. The monks who had entered the fire spirit vein area before should have stayed there.
Although sometimes people are more dangerous than monsters, at least there is room for dealing with people. That skeleton puppet is going to skin him without saying a word. I really can't stay in this place for a moment.
After the four of them marched non-stop for another half an hour, they finally arrived at the dark place.
The reason why it is dark is because the lava river here is buried underground by a dark stone road. It no longer emits the gleaming fire, but it is still hot. When you step on this piece of land, you can feel the ground through your shoes. piping hot.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Xue Zhongjing strode forward and pulled Zhen Xixi away.
A huge drop of dark red magma fell from the roof of the cave like a drop of water. When it fell to the ground, it was like a huge boulder. It instantly made a depression and split into pieces, revealing the hot magma inside.
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked up. They saw that the top of this space was filled with such lava water droplets. Some of them had accumulated so much that they had sunk several meters like stones in a cave. I don’t know. How long does it take to fall down.
"Someone!"
Before he could figure out the current situation, Ji Ning suddenly became confused.
In the dim heat wave in front of him, many human figures appeared crookedly. They were busy with each other, walking back and forth, like ants on a hot pot, unable to stop for a moment.
Everyone looked around solemnly and walked forward slowly. Only then did they realize that the space was actually larger than before. It was endless to the left and right, and everywhere was a world covered in hot sand and stones, like a hot volcanic cave. .
In some areas, the earth was cracked, and the underground Fire Spirit Vein River reappeared, flowing forward like a trickle, and then being buried.
Everyone came closer and finally saw clearly what those busy figures were doing.
They were like miners digging in the mountains, holding a variety of tools in their hands. They kept digging and knocking on the rock wall, up, down, left, right, and all around, knocking out the dark fire-burned rocks. Stones, it seems that you can find treasures in this way.
In the hot darkness, people were busy everywhere.
"Hey, there's someone new here?"
Suddenly, a fat man with a simple and honest face discovered them.
As soon as these words came out, the thirty or so people who were busy mining in front of them all raised their heads one after another, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
"Great, we have help. Did the second master personally bring someone here?"
"It seems we haven't been abandoned yet. This time we must wash away our shame and kill all those bastards from the Sword Pavilion!"
But, after a moment passed.
Everyone's happy expressions froze.
"Why are there only four people?"
The honest-looking fat man looked at Ji Ning with a look of disbelief on his face:
"Only four of your batch survive?"
Everyone was stunned.
Although this fire spirit vein area is extremely dangerous, as long as we move steadily, the road ahead is still very easy to pass, and at most seven or eight people will die.
"There are still a group of people behind, but we arrived first."
Qi Lan took the initiative to speak and explained.
When the fat man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"How many of your batch have come?"
"About a hundred."
"How much is left?"
"Probably... less than fifty."
Qi Lan frowned and estimated.
The scene at that time was so chaotic that if those people could survive even half of it, it would be pretty good.
"Fifty, that's enough!"
A rare smile appeared on the face of the honest fat man. He looked at Ji Ning and others carefully, and then he suddenly discovered that the aura exuding from Xue Zhongjing was actually very powerful.
"He turned out to be a strong man in the second stage. How disrespectful!"
Everyone gathered around and raised their hands to Ji Ning and his party, mainly to Xue Zhongjing.
Xue Zhongjing stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, frowned and looked around the surrounding area, and then asked:
"May I ask your colleagues, what are they doing?"
Hearing this, the honest man smiled and said:
"Digging something."
"What you don't know is that our place is already in the middle of the Fire Spirit Vein. There are many secret chambers in the rock walls on all sides. You might also be able to find some treasures under these black stones underground."
"Further forward, there is no road. Even the rocks we stand on are submerged in magma and are only occasionally revealed. And we don't know what dangers lie ahead, so we don't even think about going forward."
"The same goes for people from other forces. Everyone stays here, and this area is the territory of our Emperor Dragon Adventure Group. We can only mine it ourselves. The same goes for other forces. Theoretically speaking, well water Don’t offend the river.”
At this point, a ferocious look appeared on the fat man's face. He turned to look at a wide road in the cave. As far as the eye could see, at the end of the dark and bright road space, there was another group of monks. .
Wearing white mandarin jackets, with wooden swords on their waists, they formed an orderly formation and launched attacks against the rock wall. Every collision was like a thunderous force that could tear down a large piece of rock.
"Those people are from Jiange."
"In the previous battle, we found an opportunity, but they took it away. We never fought, so we have been waiting for support."
"Okay now, with fifty of you, our Emperor Dragon Adventure Group will definitely be able to tear all these bastards from the Sword Pavilion into pieces!"
…
…
At the same time, the Huang Lingmai Underground Palace.
Compared with the Fire Spirit Vein Underground Palace, it is quiet and peaceful here. There is no sun between the sky and the earth. It is gray and gray. It is endless as far as the eye can see, as if you have arrived at a wilderness overgrown with weeds.
Jiang Hailiu and his party were walking boredly in this wasteland. Not to mention the dangers along the way, they didn't even see a single living creature. There were only corpses all over the ground, proving that someone had been here before.
"Sigh, I don't know how the captain and the others are doing."
Among the team, a man covered in bandages sighed gloomily.
His life was saved by Xue Zhongjing, so when Xue Zhongjing chose to take the initiative to go to the Fire Spirit Vein, he almost stepped forward.
But for some reason, at that moment, he didn't have the courage to take a step forward.
Xue Zhongjing just looked at him lightly and said nothing.
When Jiang Hailiu heard this, he mocked with disdain:
"It's probably not going to end well. There's a fire spirit vein over there."
"I really can't figure it out. It's just that those three are crazy. Captain Xue actually followed them, causing us to lose our combat power in vain. Even if we meet some treasure here, we should have no ability to compete."
As soon as this was said, everyone present fell silent.
This is true.
Among the teams that entered the Wild Spirit Vein, their adventure group was the weakest. It was not even comparable to some small teams with only seven or eight people. All of those people were elites, and they were thirty or forty people. But he couldn't even bring out a second-stage monk.
Nowadays, the only strongest members of the team are Jiang Liuhai, who is in the Iron Bone Realm, and the other two deputy captains, who are in the Silver Bone Realm.
"If you can't argue, don't fight. It's better than being greedy and swallowing the elephant, destroying the fire spirit veins and dying."
Jiang Liuhai spoke calmly, walking in front of the crowd, and then suddenly stopped.
At some point, the vast wasteland was almost at its end.
At the end, there is a tall and bulging hillside. The arc becomes wider and wider, and in the end, it forms a solitary peak that reaches straight into the sky.
On that huge hillside, there were many monks, of different heights, with clear boundaries. They were all looking for something on the hillside, looking for something.
Looking at such a magnificent scene, everyone present quietly widened their eyes.
"What's going on? Aren't we in the underground palace? Why does it look like we've gone outside?"
"There is something strange in this space. If nothing else, it should be the formation."
Jiang Liuhai took out a formation disk, and after carefully sensing it, he gathered a ball of spiritual energy with one hand, and then raised it to the side five meters away.
Suddenly, some ripples appeared in the void, and a faint buzzing sound was heard.
"That's right, it's the formation."
"This entire underground palace is shrouded in a powerful formation, and the rules of all things are determined by that formation."
Someone else was startled and asked:
"So, what we see now is all an illusion?"
Jiang Liuhai frowned tightly and did not answer.
Although he knows that this space is illusory, he still feels tired when walking, the dust he picks up can rise up, and he can absorb the boundless spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
This space is like a real small world.
"The person who set up this formation must be of a very high level."
Jiang Liuhai shook his head and sighed, no longer trying to decipher the mystery. The most important thing now was how to survive in this boundless wasteland. After all, their strength was too weak.
"Hey, are you from the Emperor Dragon Adventure Group?"
At this time, at the edge of the middle part of the hillside, there was a strong man in a black dragon fish suit, waving to everyone.
Seeing this person, a monk from other teams looked happy and shouted loudly:
"The fifth leader is us!"
"Liu Hui, the fifth master?"
Everyone walked in the direction of the man and came to the hillside.
