Chapter 454: Strange Wood
"Wanqing, don't worry, I will definitely find the black spirit grass and make you recover as soon as possible."
"Yu Wanqing" murmured softly.
There are two consciousnesses in this body, and their personalities are exactly extreme. Yu Wanqing is aloof and cold, while the Peony Fairy is gentle as water, but at this moment, the latter is in control of the body, but there is no abnormality at all, just like Yu Wanqing herself.
After everything was settled, "Yu Wanqing" put away the long sword and walked slowly out of the cave.
At this moment, the cave suddenly trembled a few times, and a few strange noises came from the cave entrance. She paused, raised her head and looked forward, and a little doubt flashed across her pretty face.
Although she was temporarily using Yu Wanqing's body, the Peony Fairy cultivated into a soul, and her perception was naturally stronger than Yu Wanqing.
Previously, in order to seek secrecy, Yu Wanqing came to this mountain belly and used the Great He Shen Ban to make them exchange souls. At this moment, "Yu Wanqing" faintly felt that there seemed to be a trace of unusual breath outside the cave, as if some dangerous things were approaching here.
She hesitated for a few seconds and released her spiritual sense to detect secretly.
But a moment later, her face suddenly changed, and she flew away to another place without thinking, then took out an invisible talisman and slapped it on her body, hiding in the dark and disappearing.
Almost at the same time, the cave trembled wildly, and the heat suddenly doubled. Then there was a fire, and a huge shadow wrapped in a fire curtain emerged. Looking closely, it turned out to be two eyes as big as copper bells, and then a huge monster ran out of the cave at a high speed. It didn't look like a human. It had four hooves, a head like horns, and scales all over its body. It had green teeth and fangs, like a tiger and a unicorn, and looked like a giant bull. Magma kept dripping from its body.
It turned out to be a giant beast with fire attribute.
This monster that looked like a bull but not a bull seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After entering the cave, its eyes as big as copper bells kept scanning.
Seeing this scene, "Yu Wanqing" was horrified. The beast had a fierce aura and was afraid that it had reached the second level of cultivation. She dared not move at all, lest it be discovered and become its meal.
It must be said that the invisibility talisman used by "Yu Wanqing" was quite skillful. After scanning the cave for a while, the monster did not find her trace, then stamped its feet and ran straight to a magma pool in the cave.
"Yu Wanqing" looked puzzled and was greatly surprised. If the beast came for her, it should leave after finding no trace of her. Why did it go deeper and deeper?
She stopped with seven points of fear and three points of doubt, hiding in a branch cave and watching the beast from a distance. When she found that it was outside the magma pool, she raised her head to look at the top of the cave, let out a few low roars, and then stepped on all four legs, spewing out a blazing curtain of fire, and rolled straight to the magma pool.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff" a few muffled sounds came.
Hot bubbles were seen coming out of the magma pool, and the already very hot cave became more like a furnace. Even though it was far away, "Yu Wanqing" couldn't help sweating on her forehead.
Looking at the strange behavior of this beast, she was even more surprised. Judging from its behavior, it seemed to have another purpose. Could it be that there was something else in this magma pool?
"Wanqing's invisibility talisman was made with the unique method I taught. I almost hid it from Ye Xiaobao at the beginning. I think this beast will not easily find my whereabouts. Why not stay and find out the truth first."
Peony Fairy thought about it and made a decision in her heart.
The strange beasts in the spiritual world are quite intelligent, and the monsters in the inner layer are even more intelligent under the nourishment of spiritual energy. This monster will not stare at this piece of magma for no reason. I'm afraid there is something strange. Anyway, this beast can't find her whereabouts. It's better to stay and wait and see. If you can get some treasures that improve your cultivation, it will also help Yu Wanqing wake up soon.
After the monster swept the magma pool with its demonic power, the bubbles became more and more dense, and gradually a fiery white mist spread, forcing "Yu Wanqing" to temporarily suppress it with a water-attributed magic weapon.
The monster naturally didn't know that the human monk who had originally locked on was staring at him in the dark. When he saw the white mist rising from the magma pool, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if something made him extremely excited. At that moment, the fire in his mouth became more fierce, covering most of the magma pool.
"Yu Wanqing", who was hiding in the dark, had a stern look on her face, staring at this place without blinking.
A moment later, she saw an extremely shocking scene.
I saw a yellow light column slowly rising from the magma pool, and the blazing fire temperature was surging from it. Seeing this scene, the monster was even more excited, and his four legs kept stomping.
Then, a wood-like object slowly emerged from the magma.
This tree is about six feet long, dark red in color, like fire but not fire, like wood but not wood, and looks as tough as fine steel. It did not melt under the fire, but instead exuded amazing spiritual energy.
After seeing this tree, the monster's eyes immediately showed an excited look, while "Yu Wanqing" hiding in the dark frowned and recalled something, with a look of doubt on her face, feeling as if she had seen this tree before, but couldn't remember it for a while.
Under the gaze of this man and beast, this tree was suspended in the air, releasing a faint glow, but after leaving the magma pool, it suddenly trembled violently, and the light all over the body became disordered, turning into a bright beam of light that penetrated the cave and rushed straight into the sky.
In an instant, the magma in the cave rolled, like a volcanic eruption, and the area within a few miles became a scene of lava volcano.
"Yu Wanqing" changed color in horror, and even with the invisibility talisman, she didn't dare to stay here for long, and quickly flew into the air with her sword, barely avoiding the invasion of magma.
However, the monster ignored the lava spewing out and stood there motionless, staring at the six-foot strange tree and growling excitedly.
At this time, "Yu Wanqing" also saw the true form of the wood. After determining what it was, she was shocked and her face changed.
…
Most of the Wanhuomen ruins are volcanoes. There is no grass or tree in sight. In recent days, all the volcanoes have been visited by monks.
At this time, the sky was bright. Ye Chunyang flew slowly from a barren stone ridge on the cloud and released his consciousness to explore the surroundings.
After more than ten days of investigation, he had a general understanding of the terrain of the Wanhuomen ruins. Along the way, he broke several restrictions alone and got a lot of treasures. Unfortunately, he did not find any clues about the Tianhuo wood and Wuling grass. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. If this continued, he didn't know when he could sacrifice his life sword essence.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the barren stone ridge below. A trace of doubt flashed across his face. After thinking for a moment, he put away the escape light and fell down.
This barren rock ridge is not big, only a few miles in radius, but when Ye Chunyang landed on a rock, he looked at a shriveled corpse in front of him and became uncertain.
There was a blood hole on the frontal bone of this corpse, the brain and blood were drained, and the two empty eyes were grayish white, and the death was extremely miserable, but this was the fifth similar corpse he had encountered.
"Such a cruel method, could it be that the evil demon spirit also followed here?"
Ye Chunyang felt a chill in his heart. Even if ordinary evil cultivators of the demonic way practiced the skills of killing people and collecting blood, they would never suck the brain marrow together. Apart from the extremely evil evil demon spirit, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would use such a cruel method.
If the demon also followed here, it would be a big trouble.
And there were many corpses found along the way. Could it be that it was hunting cultivators in secret?
Finding the Heavenly Fire Wood is a matter of urgency. He doesn't want to care about the lives of these cultivators. But if it was really the work of the Yin Sha Demon Spirit, based on the grudges in the fog sea, he's afraid that the other party won't let him go easily, and might be brewing murderous intentions in secret.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. With the strength of the Yin Sha Demon Spirit, he was confident that he could escape unscathed, but if the other party didn't stop until he was dead, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death either.
His eyes flickered. Regardless of whether the deaths of these cultivators were caused by the Yin Sha Demon Spirit, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. It would be better to try to retreat and make plans after finding the Heavenly Fire Wood.
Thinking so in his heart, Ye Chunyang was about to flee far away.
At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from a distance.
Ye Chunyang paused and looked up.
I saw a rainbow light in a certain volcano, and the blazing magma rushed up to the sky, instantly filling the area within a few miles. The barren stone ridge under my feet was also covered by magma in an instant, melting into a magma land.
Ye Chunyang took a breath, and immediately the clouds under his feet rose into the sky, looking closely at the volcano in the distance.
Then I saw a yellow light rushing straight into the sky, causing an amazing abnormality, and in the yellow light, there seemed to be a strange tree looming, as if it was about to break away from the light column and fly away.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang couldn't help showing a look of surprise, but after a closer look, he was greatly surprised.
Judging from the breath emitted by this strange wood, it was the Tianhuo wood he had been looking for for a long time. This was really easy to get.
But there was little information about this wood in the entire ruins, so how could it suddenly cause abnormalities?
Just as he was thinking, there were several sounds of breaking wind around him, emitting powerful mana fluctuations. It was obvious that the nearby cultivators had noticed the strange phenomenon of the volcano and were rushing over.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he set off to fly to the volcano without any hesitation.
He had been looking for the Heavenly Fire Wood for a long time, and he must not let it fall into the hands of others.
…
"I didn't expect that there was a Heavenly Fire Wood in the Wanhuo Gate. This thing contains a very strong fire attribute aura. Could this beast come here for the Heavenly Fire Wood?"
Inside the volcanic cave, "Yu Wanqing" looked at the Heavenly Fire Wood that broke through the top of the cave and flew into the air, and was shocked.
She didn't expect that she had been in seclusion here for many days but had not found anything unusual. If it weren't for this monster coming here, she might never know that there was a treasure like the Heavenly Fire Wood hidden in this magma pool.
She was overjoyed. The Skyfire Wood was a rare treasure, an excellent material for refining treasures. Countless cultivators dreamed of it but could not get it. Now it was right in front of her.
But this monster was extremely ferocious, and it seemed to know that the Skyfire Wood was hidden in the magma pool. It came for this reason. It would be difficult to take the wood away from it.
"Yu Wanqing" hesitated for a moment.
At this time, several shocking auras came from the surroundings, which made her heart tremble.
