Chapter 86 Flame Mountain (Third update)
————Fulfilled the promise and made up for it. The update tomorrow morning should be at noon.
When Shi Xuan woke up from his coma, he only felt soreness all over his body. He was thrown around by the sea water and bumped into rocks many times. Fortunately, he used the Golden Dragon Armor Charm in time and finally managed to survive.
He just took a breath, it was dry, hot, and mixed with the smell, which almost destroyed Shi Xuan's sense of smell.
Looking around carefully, Shi Xuan found that he was washed away by the sea water to an unknown place. This was a long corridor, but whether it was the mountain walls on both sides of the corridor, the roof of the cave above, or even the stone road where he was lying , were all burning. Fortunately, the clothes of the Penglai sect's outer disciples had the primary function of warding off fire and water, and there were only ordinary flames here, so Shi Xuan did not turn into a charred corpse in a coma.
The other end of the corridor has been blocked by collapsed rocks. Shi Xuan tried to chop it with the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword a few times, but only a small white mark was left. It seems that the rocks here have been calcined for countless years. It turned into an extremely hard unknown material.
Shi Xuan carefully picked up a few of these rocks, used magic to create a thick layer of soil around them, and then put them in his spare storage bag. When he went out, he would find someone to see what kind of material they were. .
Since there is only one way, Shi Xuan can only go forward.
After regaining his energy, casting some protective spells on himself, and casting the Golden Dragon Armor Curse, Shi Xuan took out the ecstasy flag, with black lights hanging down, and then slowly walked to the other side of the corridor.
After this corridor, there is another corridor. These corridors do not seem to be naturally formed. They should be some ruins, right? It’s just that this corridor is very wide and high, more than ten times wider than normal. Whose ruins could it be?
In this labyrinth-like corridor, Shi Xuan walked and walked, but could not find the way out. He wanted to judge based on which side was hotter, which side was the core, and the other side was the way out, but Shi Xuan found that the way out was the way out. It's all averagely hot.
Suddenly, when Shi Xuan entered a corridor not far away, several birds composed of flames flew out of the flames on both sides of the corridor and flew toward Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan waved the ecstasy flag and directed the black light towards the birds. However, as soon as it hit the birds, the black light began to sizzle, like heavy snow meeting the scorching sun and receding away.
After finally killing these flame birds, they just turned into blossoming flames and slowly extinguished, leaving nothing behind.
It seems that the magic weapon of the Ecstasy Banner is greatly reduced in this hot and sunny environment. It was extremely difficult to deal with a few birds just now. Shi Xuan had no choice but to take out the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword. It would be better to use it later. As for water and ice spells, Shi Xuan didn't want to use them yet. On the premise of maintaining energy to the maximum extent, using magic weapons would consume a lot less.
After a while, those flaming birds came back again, one after another, daring towards Shi Xuan without fear of life or death. Shi Xuan pointed with his hand, and the All-Seeing Shadowless Sword turned into a clear light and flew towards these birds. They were about to arrive. At that moment, Shi Xuan pinched the sword secret, and the sword light of the Shadowless Sword turned into a huge pillar of clear light, blowing towards the bird like a strong wind. It was the Gust Sword among the Six Swords of Cutting the Wind.
The strong wind blew by, leaving only a blank space on the ground. Those flaming birds had been extinguished by the sword light in the strong wind. Shi Xuan secretly nodded. The violent wind, hurricane, and whirlwind in the Six Swords of Cutting Wind are the enemies of these flaming birds. Of course, if they were stronger, it would not be the wind extinguishing the fire, but the wind assisting the fire.
Just when Shi Xuan felt relieved, he saw hundreds of flaming birds flying out of the corridor he came from. His face condensed, and he commanded the Shadowless Sword to turn into a whirlwind, then fought and retreated, deeper into the corridor behind. Retreat.
When these hundreds of flaming birds were extinguished and no more flaming birds were chasing them, Shi Xuan saw two flaming giants walking out of both sides of the corridor, with ferocious faces rushing towards him.
Not only did this flame giant look tall, but he also used magic when he was about to pounce, and fireballs flew towards Shi Xuan fiercely. Fortunately, Shi Xuan concentrated on using Xiao Youqingfeng to escape forward for a certain distance, and was able to escape the violent explosion of these fireballs.
The sword light turned into a hurricane, attacking the two flame giants, but the flame giants were not afraid at all, and split their bodies into two halves with the sword light, but the flames on their bodies became even more intense when blown by the wind, and then they unexpectedly They turned into four flame giants and chased Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan once again escaped a short distance and avoided the attack of the fireball. Then his sword light condensed and passed through the smoke of the explosion quietly and seemingly without any sound. He flew in front of the four flame giants and then made a line from left to right. The clear light passed by, and the flame giants turned into two pieces, and the flames at the break were quickly extinguished as if encountering natural enemies. The last four flame giants turned into four groups of cold stones, and there was no more movement. This was the cold Wind sword.
Before Shi Xuan had time to be happy, several more flame giants and hundreds of flame birds rushed out from the opposite side. Although they had very low intelligence and did not know how to dodge, when the number increased, they were also very terrifying.
Shi Xuan did not dare to fight for a long time, so he used Xiaoyou Qingfeng Escape, turned into a wisp of breeze, and escaped with the sword light.
Along the way, flame giants and flame birds appeared one after another. Shi Xuan could only escape wherever there were few monsters. Unknowingly, Shi Xuan escaped into a huge and simple hall.
Those flame giants and flame birds seemed to be afraid of certain things in this hall. They blocked the corridor and did not dare to come in. This allowed Shi Xuan to finally take a breath. The monks in the out-of-body stage just couldn't fight for a long time.
Shi Xuan carefully observed the dilapidated hall. It was several miles in circumference. It was simple and solemn, but there was nothing inside, leaving only a few empty giant pillars standing there.
After walking around the main hall, there were four exits and one downward corridor. Shi Xuan felt extremely hot just by standing in front of the corridor. The fire-preventing magic fixed on the Taoist robe could not even weaken it at all. One can imagine how hot it was down there.
When there was still a choice, Shi Xuan naturally did not dare to explore the downward tunnel, but Shi Xuan tried the other three exits, but was forced back by countless flame giants and flame birds.
After crossing his legs to regain his energy, Shi Xuan checked the main hall again, hoping to find secret doors, secret passages, etc., but unfortunately there was no harvest. However, the murals painted on the walls of the main hall gave Shi Xuan some guesses about this place.
Those murals are full of huge birds, with chicken heads, swallow jaws, snake necks and fish tails, wearing red wings, flying into the sky from the flames. It can be seen from the appearance that these are the sacred birds of the red bird, which are exactly the same as the descriptions in Taoist books.
Considering that the Flame Sea and the Flame Islands were once the residence of the Suzaku clan, this should be the Flame Mountain where the Suzaku clan lived. It was buried deep under the sea for countless thousands of years.
However, guessing that this place did not help Shi Xuan get out of trouble. He only brought a few days of dry food with him, and there were flame giants and others blocking the road outside. Do they have to die here until the sect comes to rescue them? If the Flame God Mountain is located in In the secret place of the time and space storm, even if I wait to die, I may not be able to wait until the sect comes to find me.
It was Shi Xuan's habit not to place his hopes on others, so he could only take the risk to explore the downward tunnel.
After casting a lot of magic protection on himself, and then using the black light of the Ecstasy Flag to protect himself, Shi Xuan walked down the corridor with the Omniverse Shadowless Sword in hand.
The corridor was very quiet. Shi Xuan could hear his own footsteps every time he took a step. It became hotter and hotter as he went down, and the black light even began to melt.
After walking around for several times, Shi Xuan finally saw a gate in front of him, but it was even hotter here. The black light had shrunk to the point where it was almost invisible, and the corners of Shi Xuan's Taoist robe were also rolled up by the heat.
Seeing that the Ecstasy Banner was useless in this environment, Shi Xuan had no choice but to put it away and move forward simply relying on the protection of the Golden Dragon Armor Curse and other spells.
After exiting the gate, I saw a large lake of flames in front of me. Inside was rolling lava and flames that were close to purple-blue. This was no ordinary flame. According to the color of these flames, it seemed that this was the Suzaku ruins. Judging, this should be the famous Nanming Lihuo.
Nanming Lihuo was domineering but restrained. Therefore, starting from the gate and on the way to the Lake of Fire, the air did not become hotter. Otherwise, Shi Xuan could only retreat. Especially like this, the layers of protective spells on his body gradually melted away. , only the Golden Dragon Armor Curse is struggling to support it.
When he reached the lake of flames, Shi Xuan's heart sank. There was already a monk in white sitting cross-legged by the lake, carefully absorbing the Nanming Lihuo and combining it with his own fiery red true energy.
Sensing someone approaching, the white-clothed monk immediately stopped absorbing Nan Ming Lihuo's spell, stood up and turned around in one breath, surrounded by flame-like Qi. But when he saw clearly that the person opposite was Shi Xuan, he immediately burst out laughing: "Haha, Junior Brother Shi, we are really destined." This monk in white was none other than Meng Yuchang.
Facing a monk in the out-of-body stage, Meng Yuchang didn't care at all and continued to smile arrogantly: "Junior Brother Tuo Shi, it's really your great blessing. Otherwise, how could you go to this Suzaku ruins and let me discover this Nanming... Li Huo, the power of my Flame Dragon Divine Fire Qi will be greatly increased from now on, and it will be ranked first among the Qi in the entire Qi Entrainment Period."
Shi Xuan didn't answer, and a ray of clear light suddenly came to Meng Yuchang's side and stabbed his vital part. Meng Yuchang didn't expect that Shi Xuan's sword light was so powerful, and he suffered from Shi Xuan's sword all his life. But Meng Yuchang's zhenqi coiled like a fire dragon easily blocked Shi Xuan's sword.
"Hmph, how can you, a monk in the out-of-body stage, know the secret of true energy? Even if I stand here and you attack me, you can't break my true energy." Meng Yuchang looked at Shi Xuan with disdain. At the same time, with a move of his hand, a stream of true energy turned into a fire dragon and rushed towards Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan used Qingfeng Escape, but the fire dragon followed him like a shadow, and his speed was extremely fast. Before he could avoid it, Shi Xuan was hit in the back by the fire dragon. The Golden Dragon Armor Curse blocked most of the power, but Shi Xuan was still injured. It was so severe that his back was completely burned, and the meridians inside were also damaged. He lay there unable to move.
Meng Yuchang became more and more happy, laughed, and then walked towards Shi Xuan: "Junior Brother Shi, I will throw you alive into the Nanmingli Fire Lake and let me see how many breaths you can survive."
