Chapter 85 Sea of Flame (Second update)
The Flame Sea is the junction between the Three Islands Sea and the Flame Islands Sea. It is densely covered with volcanoes and the sea water is always hot. There are some strange creatures living in it, such as fire spirits, flame fish, crimson octopuses, etc.
It is said that the Flame Islands and the Flame Sea were the residence of the Suzaku Clan in ancient times. Unfortunately, after the Great Destruction, the terrain here has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The Suzaku Clan's nest has long been buried deep in the depths of the sea, and the Suzaku Clan has long been buried deep in the sea. The whole family doesn’t know where they are going.
Originally, the sect was only responsible for guarding the mines in the Sea of Flames, but decades ago there were abnormalities in the Sea of Flames and volcanic eruptions occurred frequently, so an additional patrol mission was added.
Shi Xuan frowned, thinking about this mission. This was the first time he had received a mission that needed to be carried out outside the sect. Could it be that Meng Yuchang and others were causing trouble again? But aren't they very satisfied with the fact that they are on duty in Yinfeng Cave and thus their cultivation is not improving quickly? In the past two years, Meng Yu often came to Yinfeng Cave to laugh at him, and the task of guarding Yinfeng Cave last month did not change.
However, something is fishy, there must be a ghost, Shi Xuan can only be careful. The Invisible Sword of All Things has been perfected in the two heavens, and the speed of controlling the sword light has been greatly improved. If you cooperate with Xiaoyou Qingfeng to escape, what danger is there? Escape The chances are great.
Both Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan expressed their worries in private, but they didn't know what Meng Yuchang and the others were thinking.
On the day of departure, when he saw Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing at the gathering place and saw that they could not hide their malicious smiles, Shi Xuan had a premonition that this time might be extremely dangerous.
The Ecstasy Banner also has twenty-two levels of restrictions. When the two heavens are consummated, the fog of foul qi turns into a large formation of foul qi that inverts the ecstasy. If we can absorb more sinister and fierce filthy, evil, and sick qi in the future, The power of this formation goes beyond weakening and trapping enemies. It's a pity that Shi Xuan has concentrated on practicing in the past two years and did not look for those fierce filth, evil, disease, etc.
The Heart Wind Sword was also successfully cultivated during Shi Xuan's rapid improvement in cultivation. However, these are not guarantees that Shi Xuan can escape from the hands of the Qi-Entraining Stage monks. Shi Xuan's only life-saving trump card is the Taiyin Lung Yang Geng Gold Sword Qi.
With confidence, Shi Xuan calmed down in his heart, showed fear and anxiety on the surface, and stood among the outer disciples. Coupled with the surprise when they saw Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing just now, the fear and helplessness were vividly expressed, and Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing could only see happy faces.
This time there was a patrol team of four inner disciples and sixteen outer disciples. The other two inner disciples were Yan Wanxiao, who was serious and silent, and Duan Yang, who had a friendly smile and a kind tone.
After getting on the Chuanyunzhou, four inner disciples sat on one side and sixteen outer disciples sat on the other side. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan was famous and Meng Yuchang was also there, so those outer disciples did not dare to talk to him. This is in line with Shi Xuan's intention, so he needs to carefully consider this matter.
Meng Yuchang tried his best to transfer himself into the patrol team, but he would not do it out of good intentions or ridicule. If he wanted to ridicule, he could go to Yinfeng Cave every other month to ridicule him. So whether it is making things difficult for yourself, forcing yourself to break the rules, or secretly destroying yourself, or even getting rid of yourself, it is possible.
If they just make things difficult for me and force me to break the rules, I won't be afraid. I can just treat them as vicious dogs barking and just do what I should do.
If he secretly destroys himself, or even gets rid of himself, then it is impossible to do it in front of these inner and outer disciples. How can he still kill people and silence them? The disappearance of one of them is an accident, and even the two inner disciples are all Even an ancestor who was a master of the golden elixir could not handle the disappearance.
From this point of view, the opportunity to strike should be in the patrol of the next five days, and they are also sure that they can escape the round light retrospection technique of the Jindan Grandmaster. It is said that the round light retrospection technique extracts various information from the surrounding environment. Finally, the entire scene is restored. The environment of the Sea of Flames is the most conducive to destruction. After killing the volcano, throw the body directly into the cave. When the volcano erupts next time, the Golden Pill Grandmaster will never be found again. There are traces.
Hey, Shi Xuan sneered in his heart. If Meng Yuchang wanted to kill him, it would be a good opportunity for him to take revenge. The only thing he could think about was for the two of them to do it together. He didn't have the ability to deal with two Qi-entraining monks at the same time, because he But it only has the power of one blow, and it will take several months to re-warm before being used again. In fact, even if he is a monk in the Qi-entraining stage, if he does not have the support of Taoism and magical powers, Shi Xuan will only die.
In addition, I can only use Taiyin Fei Yang Geng Jin sword energy to lock the opponent within five feet, so I have to consider how to use it appropriately and how to create the best distance.
Meng Yuchang took the initiative to kill him first. Killing him in his own defense did not violate the sect's precepts and was not afraid of Yuan Guang's retrospection technique. However, to kill him, he had to reveal his Taoist magical power and be able to avoid being reflected by Yuan Guang's retrospection technique. It is naturally best to come out. The environment of this sea of flames is really good.
After deciding on a strategy, Shi Xuan settled down and concentrated on practicing.
The Chuanyun Boat flew quickly, reaching a speed of a thousand miles a day and night, so six days later, Shi Xuan and the others reached the Sea of Flames.
From a distance, the Sea of Flames looks like fiery red sea water. Because of the reflections of volcanoes that erupt from time to time in the sea water, and the red ores that have been precipitated by magma flowing into the sea water, over hundreds of thousands of years, the color of the sea water has become This is what it looks like. And there is a volcanic island only a few miles away on the sea. If you just count it, there are probably thousands of them.
Such a strange and spectacular sight made Shi Xuan feel extremely beautiful. If he didn't have a lot of thoughts, patrolling here for fifteen days would be considered a beautiful thing.
After entering a small island in the Sea of Flames, Shi Xuan and the others stepped out of the Cloud Chuan boat. They were hit by a heat wave, which was more than twice as hot as the hottest time in summer. Therefore, there were only some strange plants and Strange animals. If these volcanic ores didn't contain a lot of good weapon refining materials, I'm afraid not many sect disciples would be willing to guard here.
After handing over to the previous batch of patrolling teams, Shi Xuan and the others entered the mining area where formations were arranged. It was a cool environment. Only in such an environment would low-level casual cultivators be willing to come here to mine ore for the Penglai sect, thereby fighting for A handsome reward. Otherwise, given the conditions outside, these low-level casual cultivators wouldn't be able to stay there for even a day.
In charge here are one inner sect deacon and three outer sect deacons, plus some inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples who are on duty here.
The low-level casual cultivators who came and went were very envious of the disciples of the Penglai sect, and they were well behaved and well behaved, which gave Shi Xuan a completely different feeling in the sect.
"Junior Brother Shi." It was the silent and serious Yan Wanxiao who called out to Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan looked at him doubtfully: "What are your orders, Senior Brother Yan?"
Yan Wanxiao opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless. After doing this for several times, he finally made up his mind and said: "I think Meng Yuchang and the two are afraid that they are going to harm you, Junior Brother Shi. During the next five days of patrolling, you and I will be in the same team." Well. Master Ming will be released soon. If you escape this time, they won’t dare to do anything to you. "
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan, for your kindness. Shi will definitely remember your reminder." It turned out that Ming Qingyue was about to leave the seclusion, and Meng Yuchang and the two of them jumped over the wall in a hurry. No matter Yan Wanxiao was really kind-hearted, or just for Ming Qingyue's sake. Remind yourself that Shi Xuan must express his deep gratitude.
However, Shi Xuan doesn't think Yan Wanxiao can stop Meng Yuchang. People who have gone astray can't be easily dismissed. In the past six days on the Chuanyun Boat, Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing didn't even come to see them once. If you go through their own troubles, you will know how determined they are to get rid of themselves. Moreover, Meng Yuchang is the captain of this patrol, so it is naturally up to him to decide how to arrange the patrol team.
Yan Wanxiao left with worries, but Shi Xuan was relieved because Yan Wanxiao mentioned that each team would be composed of two people, which relieved him of his biggest worry.
For the next ten days, the weather was calm. Shi Xuan saw a fire-like fire spirit man in the Sea of Flames who could talk and cast spells, as well as a palm-sized crimson octopus - it spit out not ink but magma, and its surface was a The flame fish with delicious meat inside, the dead fire tree that looks withered but in fact every leaf can turn into a fireball, the blazing gold contained in the volcanic ore - the best material for refining fire magic weapons .
Today is the day to patrol in small teams. We will go into the depths of the Flame Sea in pairs to inspect for any abnormalities.
"Junior Brother Meng, this time I will team up with Junior Brother Shi." To the surprise of others, Yan Wanxiao directly asked Meng Yuchang to team up with Shi Xuan, which made the outer disciples extremely confused.
Meng Yuchang's face was livid: "Am I the captain, or are you the captain? Shi Xuan and Ma Yuanjing are in the same team, you and I are in the same team." It is necessary to monitor Yan Wanxiao by himself, so as not to spoil the good things, and as for killing people, How could you dirty your hands?
Yan Wanxiao reiterated his opinion again and tried to bring Duan Yang together. Unfortunately, after Duan Yang hesitated for a moment, he still expressed his willingness to follow the captain's arrangement, so Yan Wanxiao had no choice but to give up.
After dividing the team and sending their respective routes, Meng Yuchang announced that they were ready to set off.
Nodding gratefully to Yan Wanxiao, with his anxious and worried eyes, Shi Xuan controlled the green steel sword, and together with the red light formed by Ma Yuanjingliu's fire sword, flew towards the depths of the sea of flames.
"Senior Brother Yan, let's set off." Meng Yuchang said calmly. Their route was not far from that of Ma Yuanjing and Shi Xuan. Meng Yuchang arranged this mainly to prevent accidents.
Yan Wanxiao sighed, controlled his blue water sword, turned into a blue sword light and followed Meng Yuchang.
After flying for a hundred miles, a volcanic island emitting green smoke appeared in front of him, as if it was about to erupt. Ma Yuanjing did not hide it, and said to Shi Xuan with a smile: "Junior Brother Shi, I know that you can't fly during your out-of-body period." How long? It’s better to rest here before leaving.”
Shi Xuan glanced at him, pretended not to resist, nodded in agreement, and the two of them flew towards the volcanic island.
But what the two of them didn't notice was that the seawater for hundreds of miles around started bubbling, as if something was brewing.
When Ma Yuanjing saw the volcanic island and was about to go down, there was a loud rumble and a huge seawater column rushed into the sky. The aftermath alone stunned Ma Yuanjing and Shi Xuan. . The same goes for other team disciples who are very close to here.
Looking from a distance, a seawater column with a radius of dozens of miles reaches the sky and the sea, soaring into the sky. Hundreds of nearby volcanic islands erupted, and hundreds of flame pillars set off the seawater column in a fiery red color.
Such a large battle naturally alarmed the deacons of the Penglai sect. Among them, the leading deacon of the inner sect said: "There has been an abnormality there for decades. We were on high alert at first, but there was no movement, so we relaxed. Unexpectedly, It actually broke out today, and now there are disciples trapped inside, so we’d better inform the sect as soon as possible.”
