Chapter 738: Golden Fire Cicada, the Relics of Feiniu
This year, Qin Ziling and his crew had many opportunities and also encountered a ninth-grade relic.
It was a relic of the Qilin species that occasionally moved around the periphery. Its aura was almost as powerful as that of the golden-winged Roc. Qin Ziling and others avoided it when they saw it from afar and did not dare to attack it.
"After searching for another ten days, if we cannot find a suitable ninth-grade relic, we will enter the secondary outer area of the Mountain Range of Beasts." Qin Ziling looked up at the sun that was about to set over the mountain and made a resolute decision.
The Hundred Beasts Mountain Range is extremely majestic, with continuous undulations and a large outer area. Even if a ninth-grade relic species were to come out from the depths of the mountains, it would be rare to encounter one or two in a year due to their rarity.
Once you enter the secondary periphery, the range is suddenly reduced by half. In addition, the frequency of activities of the ninth-grade relics in the secondary periphery is relatively high, so the probability of encountering ninth-grade relics will be relatively high.
If you are unlucky, you may encounter one every ten days or so. Of course, there are also strong people who dare to enter the secondary periphery earlier than others.
Therefore, once a ninth-grade relic species is encountered in the secondary periphery, a fight will break out between the two sides, which is likely to attract not only other powerful relic species, but also other powerful outsiders.
Because of this, Qin Ziling has been hesitant to make up his mind to step into the secondary periphery.
But two years have passed since entering the outskirts, and Qin Ziling has not hunted down a ninth-grade relic yet. Finally, he is unwilling to wait any longer.
In the Mountains of Beasts there is a river with fast-flowing and turbulent currents winding through it.
The outer and secondary outer areas of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range are separated by this river.
This river was named the Soul-Breaking River by those who entered the Dark Emperor Heaven in all generations.
This means that once you cross this river, things will become extremely dangerous, and you may very likely lose your soul and die.
…
Nine days passed in the blink of an eye since Qin Ziling made his decision.
In another day, Qin Ziling and others will cross the river and enter the secondary outskirts of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
On this day, the sun rose from the east of the Dark Emperor Sky.
The sun shines into the dense and vast primeval forest of the Baishou Mountains, casting mottled shadows on the mountain ground covered with thick layers of dead branches and rotten leaves.
Qin Ziling and his group walked through the forest and headed straight for the Soul-Breaking River.
Just in half a day, Qin Ziling and others would arrive at the Broken Soul River. At this time, golden flames shot up into the sky to the north of them.
In the golden firelight, there appeared faintly a shadow shaped like a cicada pupa and as big as a bucket.
There was a crack on the back of the phantom that was constantly expanding, and golden flames were released from it.
"What kind of rare treasure is about to be unearthed?" Qin Ziling's face showed shock. At the same time, he decisively moved Lan Ran and others into the Qiankun Cave Heaven World first, then changed direction and rushed towards the north where flames were rising into the sky.
"That's the Golden Fire Cicada. The Golden Fire Cicada is not a cicada but a fire plant. Usually it takes root in the magma underground, and its trace cannot be found. Only after ten thousand years will it break out of the ground like a cicada, or like a cicada pupa breaking open, shedding its skin and growing leaves.
If you don’t pick a golden fire cicada in time after it sheds its skin and grows leaves, it will fly away like a cicada when the sun sets, find a suitable place, turn into a seed, and take root in the magma underground again, making it impossible to find its trace.
When Qin Ziling was rushing towards the north at full speed, the fire dragon in the Niwan Palace saw the scene to the north through Qin Ziling's eyebrows. With a look of surprise, the single eye that had always been half-closed suddenly opened wide.
"Fire Sun Plant? What are its effects?" Qin Ziling asked.
"I haven't eaten it, but its effect is definitely better than the Dragon Flame Ginseng that we got from Hellfire Island, which is at least 20,000 years old." The Fire Dragon said with certainty.
"Great!" Qin Ziling was overjoyed when he heard that. He stomped his feet on the ground, and the ground began to crack. The cracks extended several miles away.
Qin Ziling had the help of his spirit and soul, and his physique was extremely strong, so he ran on the ground at an extremely fast speed.
In just a moment, Qin Ziling had arrived at the place where flames were shooting into the sky.
It was a col.
The land in the col had now turned into a boiling red magma.
In the fiery red magma, there grows a plant as big as a bucket and shaped like a cicada pupa.
There is a golden crack on the back of the plant that is constantly expanding, and leaves as thin as cicada wings and burning with golden flames are slowly extending from it.
"Such a pure and strong aura of fire and sun!"
Qin Ziling didn't even need to summon him. The one-eyed fire dragon had already poked its head out from between Qin Ziling's eyebrows, looking at the golden fire cicada in front of it that was "molting", with a burning look in its eyes.
However, the one-eyed fire dragon was not in a hurry to absorb it.
Because the power of fire and yang will only reach its peak after the Golden Fire Cicada has shed its skin and emerged as a phoenix.
In addition to this reason, there is also a powerful relic of the ninth grade lurking in the valley, in front of the lava ground .
This relic has a cow's body, a cow's head, one eye, and a snake's tail.
Its head is white, but its single eye, body and tail are all red, like a huge bull with red flames burning all over its body.
Where it stands, the magma is rolling and the temperature is extremely hot.
"The descendants of Feiniu!" Qin Ziling's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and a hint of surprise and solemnity appeared on his face.
What’s surprising is that I actually encountered a ninth-grade relic here.
The serious thing is that the descendants of Feiniu are very powerful and a bit tricky.
Not only that, the flames rising to the sky and the strange phenomena appearing here must have alarmed some powerful people, or even some powerful descendants, who must be on their way.
Therefore, it was quite difficult for Qin Ziling to seize the Golden Fire Cicada and hunt down the remaining species of the Feiniu.
"Senior, how long will it take for this golden fire cicada to complete its molting and transformation?" Qin Ziling asked. Several spirits had already spread out and were lurking around, observing the situation.
"The process is quick, and you don't have to worry too much. You are very lucky to have encountered a relic of the Fei Niu. Although this relic of the Fei Niu is very powerful, the sad thing is that it plays with fire. When it comes to playing with fire, it is still far from it!
However, this Feiniu is too close to the Golden Fire Cicada. Once the Golden Fire Cicada completes its molting, it will be the first to catch the moon. We must lure it away and kill it first." said the One-Eyed Fire Dragon.
"Lead it away?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
He could see that the descendants of Feiniu were now paying a lot of attention to the Golden Fire Cicada, and he might not be able to divert it.
"Haha, don't underestimate your own attractiveness. Back then, you deliberately made yourself so ugly that you attracted the seductive woman Zhu Ji, who insisted on snatching you to warm her bed!
It’s the same now, as long as you release your surging blood, this descendant of the Fei Niu will definitely be attracted to you and pounce on you!" The fire dragon laughed.
"Senior, could you please not talk about attracting the bull and attracting the demon girl together?" Qin Ziling said speechlessly.
