"The temperature here is a bit too high."
Xu Sui kept walking towards the depths of the cave, only to find that as the cave continued to extend downward, the temperature began to get higher and higher.
It was not the kind of simple dry heat, but a kind of moist heat that made Xu Sui feel like he was in a sauna, which suddenly reminded him of the information he had just heard.
Dragon veins.
"The reason why the people of the Blood Demon Sect arranged nodes at the entrance of the cave is because it is close to the dragon vein, and I am going down all the way..."
As if to confirm Xu Sui's conjecture, a familiar thing appeared in front of him.
Blood-like red light is dotted in the cave, and as it goes deeper and deeper, there are more and more red lights, and these red lights come from a kind of fruit-Dragon Elephant Bodhi.
Not one or two, but a whole piece.
“Not only the quantity, but also the vintage is far superior to the previous one.”
Xu Sui picked off a Dragon Elephant Bodhi. Recalling the one Zhang Jing had worked so hard to get before, it was obvious that the one in his hand was of better quality.
But there is no trace of any monster guarding here.
If there were monsters entrenched here, then the dragon elephant Bodhi born here would have been eaten by the monsters long ago, and there would be no way for Xu Sui to come here to pick it.
Then there is only one answer.
"There are more important heavenly and earthly treasures inside. Dragon Elephant Bodhi is just its accompanying spiritual fruit, and it is not worthy of mention at all."
This answer is not difficult to come up with. At the same time, better natural materials and earthly treasures mean stronger protection from monsters.
As Xu Sui continued to go deeper, he collected the dragon-elephant Bodhisattva along the way into a folding fan.
Think of Zhang Jing spending all his money to go deep into Yunmeng Lake just for a Dragon Elephant Bodhi, and the hundreds of Dragon Elephant Bodhis that he got along the way were a fortune that Xu Sui could not imagine.
As he continued deeper into an underground space, Xu Sui also understood the source of the high temperature.
A river of lava swallowing fire snakes appeared in front of Xu Sui's eyes. Strange fishes poked their heads out of the magma and stared at Xu Sui unkindly, as if they were worried that Xu Sui would enter the magma and invade their territory.
"I went to grab territory in the magma because my brain was crazy."
The underground space was not small. Xu Sui stood up with his sword and looked down at the magma river below.
The bodies of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage are still mortal, and even with physical cultivation, they cannot swim in the magma during the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to mention that the magma is rich in aura and is quite extraordinary.
"Aura? Dragon Veins!"
Disciples of the Blood Demon Sect once said that dragon veins are formed by the integration of flesh, blood and soul into the earth veins after the death of the great master, combined with the dragon-elephant Bodhi along the way.
The dragon vein is this magma river, or something deep in the magma river.
This involves the cultivation environments of Luofu Mountain and Yunmengze, and the relationship between the two places is now tense. Once the dragon pulse changes, it will stimulate the nerves of both parties at the same time.
When the war situation escalates, Xu Sui, a good-for-nothing, may also be captured.
Just when Xu Sui was about to find a way to leave immediately, a stream of heat came from his waist, and the temperature was so high that it almost burned his robe.
"Why did this fan burn?"
Xu Sui threw the folding fan in his hand out, and then a ball of flame burst out from the folding fan, and then a phoenix egg flew out from it, along with a pale fire.
Before Xu Sui could figure out what was going on, he saw the pale fire hanging above the magma river absorbing spiritual energy.
In the next moment, the pale fire received sufficient nutrients and grew at an extremely fast speed. The phoenix egg took this opportunity to plunge into the pale fire and madly absorbed the flames to strengthen itself.
The hideous and ugly fish heads stared at the phoenix eggs in the sky.
The auras of the foundation-building stage monsters spread out, and there were even a few auras of the pill-formation stage monsters mixed in. It was no worse than the black bear they encountered before, and it even killed several Skeleton Scholars on the street.
Fire snakes spit out from the mouth of the strange fish.
For some unknown reason, these demonic beasts were unable to leave the magma river even though they had no strength. They could only launch such long-range attacks to interfere with the phoenix eggs and pale fire seeds.
In a sense, it's not even a distraction.
All those flame attacks were absorbed by the pale fire and became its nourishment. While strengthening its fire, it also accelerated the hatching speed of the phoenix eggs.
"Is this going to happen?"
Xu Sui came to the periphery of the pale fire and did not get too close to the strange flame. In his current state, he did not have the means to protect the soul.
If you rashly come into contact with this kind of flame that can burn your soul, your final outcome will definitely not be easy.
To be honest, the hatching of the phoenix egg is a good thing for Xu Sui now. It gives him one more person to rely on on the way back to the sect.
But this place is above the dragon vein after all. If the hatching of the phoenix egg affects the dragon vein, it will be great fun.
"Gada~"
Before Xu Sui could worry for long, a crack appeared on the phoenix egg, and the pale fire entered the egg shell along the crack.
There are more and more cracks on the phoenix egg. As a phoenix cry echoes in the underground space, the phoenix egg directly shatters and is reborn with pure white fire.
I don't know if it's because it absorbed too much pale fire, but the feathers of the little phoenix are also snow-white.
Isn't this a mutation?
Looking at the phoenix in front of him that was very different from the traditional impression, Xu Sui first put the pale fire back into the folding fan, and then thought about how to communicate with the little phoenix.
The strange fish in the magma river jumped up and jumped into the air to fight for the broken eggshell.
He picked up a piece and swam towards the depths of the magma river. This move directly angered the little Phoenix. You must know that eggshells are an important source of nutrition for her after birth.
Someone had stolen the eggshell, so how could she make up for the nutritional deficiencies?
The pale fire rose up from the little phoenix's body, and then it plunged into the lava river. It didn't take long to see strange fish that had been chewed to pieces and were thrown to the shore.
After fluttering for a while, he lost his breath.
"It's so strong. Some of these dead strange fish have even entered the elixir formation stage."
While collecting dead fish bodies, Xu Sui lamented the strength of the little Phoenix. He didn't know how long it would take before he could leave Yun Mengze completely.
It would be good to prepare some flesh and blood of monster beasts to satisfy his hunger. At the same time, Xu Sui also found that the little Phoenix did not put much pressure on him purely in terms of realm, and it was obvious that he had not entered the Nascent Soul stage.
This also means...
"Golden elixir? It is indeed the phoenix of the ancient beast."
With this in mind, Xu Sui meditated on the bank of the magma river, waiting for the little phoenix to come back. Time passed unknowingly, and it was the next day.
