Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 96: Armored Beast
Spreading out his hands, Wang Chen placed the fire lotus in the palm of his hand, and the ancestral energy instantly enveloped the fire lotus.
This beautiful flower that grew from the earth's fire slowly shrank and eventually turned into dry fragments.
In the sea of qi, a tiny red dust is taking shape.
After feeling it carefully, he found that this fire lotus had a significant effect on increasing his true strength, which was roughly equivalent to the effect of hundreds of low-level spirit stones. However, compared to his Qi Sea, which had already reached Nirvana, it was just a drop in the ocean.
However, it is still good news to confirm that the Fire Lotus can improve one's cultivation.
So Wang Chen no longer stayed at the foot of the mountain and continued to climb up the mountain.
The plants that can grow on the Red Flame Mountain are more or less extraordinary and have more or less value. The area at the foot of the mountain is relatively safe, so even casual cultivators often come here to try their luck. Over the years, even if there were some grass roots or tree bark left, no grass has grown there now.
Only higher mountains may contain unexplored opportunities.
After walking for a while, we could hear the faint sound of fighting ahead, mixed with human shouting.
Wang Chen's heart moved. After walking for so long, this was the first wave of cultivators he had encountered.
Holding on to a protruding rock, feeling the steel-like hardness and the burning heat contained in it, he pulled with his arms and stepped with his feet, then he lightly jumped onto the top of the mountain that was two people high.
Four cultivators were fighting with a strange beast, and the fight was going on back and forth.
These four people, three men and one woman, were all dressed in blue with a section of green bamboo embroidered on their chests. They looked like the clothes of a certain sect. The strongest male cultivator among them was handsome and had the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Condensation, while the weakest female cultivator had the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
When disciples of a sect go out for training, they often wear the attire of their sect, which is meant to tell people with ulterior motives: "I am from a certain sect, you'd better be careful." Sometimes there are even embarrassing incidents where independent cultivators go out wearing the attire of disciples of a sect but are discovered.
The strange beast looked like a giant pangolin, its entire body was red and covered with bright red scales.
Judging from the strength of its demonic aura, this armored beast is equivalent to the seventh level of Qi Condensation among cultivators. However, living in such a harsh environment, its aura is indeed much stronger than the demonic beasts of the same level in the Forbidden Forest, especially its pair of sharp claws, which are two feet long and like two red iron hooks, looking ferocious and hideous.
The four of them attacked and defended in an orderly manner, obviously having cooperated for a long time. They seemed to know the weaknesses of the armored beast very well. They always summoned cold air to attack, and when the armored beast showed a flaw, they used sword light to attack its soft spot.
whoosh!
As the sword energy spread, ice cones formed in the air and stabbed towards the armored beast.
Although it was unable to pierce the armored beast's scales, it did condense a layer of solid ice on its stiff shell. Even in this scorching hot place, it did not melt immediately, which greatly slowed down its movements.
Wang Chen had no intention of disturbing these four young cultivators and wanted to leave quietly. However, he helplessly discovered that the only way up the mountain was blocked by the four people and one beast who were fighting fiercely.
Looking up, he saw flames lingering outside the mountain. There might be a heavenly fire that could destroy the bodies of foundation-building cultivators. This made him give up the idea of flying the sword.
puff!
At this time, the armored beast was teased by four people, and had no place to use its brute force. Finally, it could not help it, and turned around, spewing out a blazing flame from under its buttocks.
The four of them seemed to have been prepared and together they raised a shield condensed from a cold jade magic weapon, which instantly turned into four ice shields to block in front of them.
The flame was still spewing, but the female cultivator was suddenly startled when she saw Wang Chen not far behind her.
"Brother, there's someone!"
The four of them were startled and looked back at the same time.
"I'll just take a look and not say anything." Wang Chen spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
He had no intention of interfering and did not want to interfere with other people's practice.
A vigilant divine sense swept over. After the senior brother saw that Wang Chen was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, he felt relieved and moved his sharp eyes away, but left a warning look behind.
The burning flames began to dissipate.
After the armored beast had finished spraying flames, its momentum had weakened a lot. It knew it was no match for the four people in front of it, so it turned around and rolled into a ball, trying to escape.
"Ice Moon Sword!"
That senior brother shouted loudly, leaped into the air, and the long sword in his hand condensed into a huge ice sword, with a crescent-shaped sword energy, he chopped down fiercely.
Bang! With a loud bang, the ice sword hit the armored beast's head, and ice shattered everywhere.
The armored beast was severely injured, fell to the ground with a scream, and rolled over and struggled.
"Senior brother is so awesome!" The female cultivator was extremely happy.
The four cultivators rushed forward, looking for the soft spot of the armored beast, and stabbed it to death with their swords.
"Senior Brother Sun's Ice Moon Sword Technique has been cultivated to a high level, right? No one can compare to Senior Brother Wu Yue and Senior Sister Lu Han." The other two male cultivators couldn't help but flatter him.
"Brother is really amazing... Isn't it embarrassing that he has to shout out the name of a move every time he makes a move?" Wang Chen felt uneasy all over.
However, Senior Brother Sun's cultivation foundation and techniques are very solid.
I remember that I used to travel the world with just one move, the Ice Soul Sword. At that time, I thought that ice magic could be used to fly kites and pull trains, and it was the most perfect magic in the world of cultivation.
The past can be remembered.
As he thought about this, he continued walking up the mountain.
Just as they were about to pass each other, Senior Brother Sun spoke.
"My friend, it is very dangerous to go up with the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Condensation. The Fire Armored Beast just now is not a powerful monster. If you encounter a Fire Crow, I am afraid you will die in an instant. I advise you to go down the mountain."
The Fire Crow is a flying monster beast that roams halfway up the mountain. It breathes flames from its mouth, and its sharp fangs and claws can deflect flying swords. Although it often roams halfway up the mountain, it will fly down the mountain when it cannot find food. It is the natural enemy of low-level cultivators.
Wang Chen thanked him: "Thank you, but I'm just taking a look, I won't do anything."
Seeing that Wang Chen was young and spoke in a polite and kind tone, and hearing Senior Brother Sun reveal his cultivation level, the female cultivator suddenly said, "Why don't you join us? I'll take you up to have a look."
The other two young cultivators were very anxious when they heard this, fearing that Wang Chen would agree, and said first: "Junior sister, we have gone through so many life and death trials to have such a good cooperation . If we just let someone join us, it will not only be of no help, but will kill us all."
"He's right." Wang Chen nodded slightly, smiled at the female cultivator of the same age as himself, thanked her for her kindness, and continued walking up the mountain.
Seeing Wang Chen's nonchalant look, a short but sturdy young cultivator whispered, "I heard that the fifth level of Qi Condensation is considered a master among casual cultivators. He is probably respected by casual cultivators and is treated as an immortal in the Mortal Kingdom. He has become arrogant. Maybe he will die in front of us soon, and not even his body will be left."
Apart from the warriors of the Mortal Kingdom, independent cultivators are at the bottom of the contempt chain of the entire cultivation world. The words of this sect cultivator are inevitably full of contempt. "
Senior Brother Sun did not say anything, but just directed a few people to dismember the fire armored beast.
Although the meat of this monster is not edible, its scales, claws, and monster core are all very valuable.
Before the monster was completely decomposed, Wang Chen disappeared from their sight.
