Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 97: Prohibition and Strange Fish
Young cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Condensation are already considered geniuses in the vast world of cultivation. However, in places like the Forbidden Forest and the Red Flame Mountain where cultivators seek opportunities and concentrate on trials, they are very common and may even be considered a minority among those with relatively low cultivation levels.
Therefore, it is very common for cultivators of this level of cultivation to go to the mountains at this altitude to explore opportunities.
This directly led to a consequence: the mountainside at this height was bare.
No matter how hard Xiaoyao tried, he couldn't even see a single weed...
Instead, two armored beetles that looked like ants appeared, and pounced on Wang Chen with their huge sharp teeth opening and closing violently. They were cut into two pieces by Wang Chen's sword. The orange blood emitted a pungent smell of sulfur .
After walking for a while, Xiaoyao called out, "Wang Chen, there is a dark hole under the ground. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Cave?" Wang Chen immediately deduced that it was most likely the cave of some monster.
The red-armored beast and armored beetle just now are obviously experts at digging holes, so it is not surprising that there are caves in the Red Flame Mountain.
However, it is better to miss it than to let it go. Following Xiaoyao's guidance, Wang Chen went around the side of the mountain wall.
In front of me is a huge red and black rock, which seems to be connected to the mountain wall.
The location is hidden enough.
Sword energy lingered on the sword body, and the six swords pierced into the boulder, digging out a hole big enough for a person to enter by bending over, like digging tofu.
The scorching breath seemed to have found a breakthrough and rushed out, and there was indeed another secret inside.
Wang Chen was well aware of the principle of not showing off one's wealth, so he dragged the huge rock back and closed it. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't see any signs that the rock had been dug out.
Then the six swords transformed into a golden light and rose up, illuminating the cave.
The cave was very shallow, and after walking for a while, we saw a dazzling fire in front of us.
It was like the boiling sound of extremely sticky rice porridge, allowing Wang Chen to effortlessly conjure up a magma landscape in his mind.
After walking for a while, they saw a surging pool of magma at the end, which made explosions from time to time and made Wang Chen's face red.
Xiaoyao had sharp eyes and found several fire lotuses around the magma pool, some of which were as big as bowls.
She was the one who discovered this place, and now that she saw the Fire Lotus, she couldn't help but scream with excitement.
"No one has ever been to this place!"
Wang Chen was delighted. These fire lotuses had been nurtured for at least hundreds of years and were cultivated in the scorching magma pool here. The fire energy they contained was even greater than that of the fire lotuses between the rocks outside.
He no longer hesitated and flew down on his sword.
The magma was surging and scorching hot. Some lava was coming up like waves, but was isolated by the protective sword energy.
As he was getting closer and closer to the fire lotus, he suddenly discovered that there were several neat and deep indentations on the wall of the magma pool.
"This is a sword mark left by sword energy. Someone has been here." Wang Chen recognized the dent instantly.
He felt something was wrong.
"If someone had been here, how could they have left behind these fire lotuses that are hundreds of years old?"
boom!
Just as Wang Chen was feeling alarmed, the magma beneath him suddenly rose into the sky without any warning!
The Hundred Dharmas!
A rich defensive sword light lit up, and Wang Chen was lifted high up by the magma under the protection of the sword energy. His eyes were full of fire. He was in mid-air, but his eyes were fixed on the ground below.
Buzz! A roar resounded throughout the cave, and something rose from the magma and bit him fiercely.
It was a strange fish that was almost in the foundation-building stage. Its body was covered with pitch-black rocks, its eyes were red, and its mouth was full of fangs of astonishing length.
Crack! The sharp teeth touched the body-protecting sword technique, and actually caused a crack in the sword energy shield.
Then, a huge recoil force burst out.
The fish cried out in pain and fell down.
Several sharp sword beams swooped down and pierced the strange fish.
boom!
Lava exploded and splashed everywhere, and the air was filled with smoke.
At this moment, the lava that was lifted into the sky fell back down, and it was like a bright red rain of fire.
"There are fish in the magma?!"
"I'm actually almost at the stage of building my foundation. I've never seen such a thing before."
Living near magma and living in magma are two completely different concepts. Wang Chen was very surprised.
After a while, the magma returned to its calm state.
Carefully picking off the surrounding fire lotuses and staring at the lava pool, he suddenly had the idea of exploring the lava pool.
Then his spiritual sense probed inside.
The lava pool was calm and bottomless.
Even the strange fish is nowhere to be found.
But then, the spiritual consciousness's spying seemed to stimulate the lava, and suddenly, a violent sea of fire spread out, like an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss, and in an instant, it was about to touch Wang Chen's spiritual consciousness.
A burning pain came.
"This sea of fire can actually burn the spiritual consciousness?" Wang Chen was shocked. It was the first time he encountered a fire that could cause damage to the spiritual consciousness. He quickly withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
"What on earth is here?"
Looking at the boiling lava in front of me at this moment, I suddenly felt like I was being stared at by the abyss.
Everything here is filled with a weird atmosphere.
"Could it be an ancient prohibition?"
In "Guangyuan Tongjianlu", a defensive technology that is more advanced than the formation was introduced, called prohibition.
This is an advanced form of formation. Compared with many other formations such as illusion formation, killing formation, auxiliary formation, etc., the goal of restriction is only one, which is to kill the uninvited guests who dare to step into the restriction with silent, strange and difficult to defend means.
"Could it be that the legendary sky fire outside the mountain is also part of this restriction?"
The Scarlet Flame Mountain has stood for tens of millions of years. After countless years, the restriction is still so powerful...
He remembered what the Book Demon once said, that there had been true immortals and even true saints in the world of cultivation, and suddenly he felt himself as insignificant as dust.
After casually swallowing the two century-old fire lotuses, Wang Chen was about to push away the rocks and return to the outside world.
But he only heard a familiar voice from outside: "Huayan Sect will not let you go."
"Huayan Sect?"
I seem to have heard it somewhere.
While lost in thought, Wang Chen pushed away the huge stone and walked out, then pushed the stone back. After everything was restored, he clapped his hands and flicked off the dust on his hands.
Not surprisingly, the five people in front of him were staring at him closely.
On one side was a strange cultivator who did not hide his cultivation level at all. He was at the tenth level of Qi Condensation. He had a black face, a bushy beard, and bare arms, and he exuded a powerful aura as if in protest.
The other party were familiar faces, the four young cultivators who had just fought with the fire-breathing armored beast.
The situation of the four people was obviously not good at the moment. Senior Brother Sun's chest was heaving violently. Several junior brothers and sisters had marks of burns all over their bodies. One of them had lost his combat effectiveness and was lying on the ground with a charred body.
"Are you in the same group? Huayan Sect will not let you go!" Senior Brother Sun said while trying to suppress his anger.
"Is that all you can say?" the big man sneered.
Senior Brother Sun was speechless. The man in front of him was the famous villain Black Tiger, who was on the villain list. No matter in cultivation, combat experience, or even the quality of his spells, he was far superior to him. Even if the four of them joined forces, they were far from being his opponent. What else could he do except to raise the name of his sect in order to have a chance of survival?
The timing of Wang Chen's appearance was very subtle, and his movements were very natural and relaxed. If he was not in the same group as Hei Hu, how could he be so calm?
After seeing Wang Chen's fifth level of Qi Condensation, Hei Hu took a black iron stick and knocked on the ground, sneering, "Boy, what's inside the stone behind you?"
"If I tell you there is a fish, do you believe it?" Wang Chen answered casually.
Even if he heard the names of the thirty-three sects, he would not think there was anything special about it, but the Huayan Sect... he always felt that it sounded familiar, as if it was related to something important.
Hei Hu sneered and knocked the ground with his iron rod.
Senior Brother Sun's heart moved, and he showed an unyielding look on his face, but he reached back one hand and made gestures behind his back.
As the leader of the team who came out to practice, he was the strongest among the few people in terms of both cultivation and intelligence, and he was very experienced.
Wang Chen suddenly appeared and was provoking Black Tiger.
This is very good news.
As long as the black tiger attacks and kills Wang Chen, the four of them will have a chance to escape.
"When Black Tiger kills that random cultivator, you guys grab my brother and run away. I'll try to cover your retreat."
The telepathic communication was heard between several people.
The expressions of several people changed. The female cultivator looked at Wang Chen, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.
"Brother Hu? Why are you so slow in doing things?" At this time, a cold voice was heard.
"Brother Long."
Hei Hu paused his movements, and disappeared without a trace with a look of arrogance on his face.
The sound of wind blew, and a cultivator in a green robe jumped down from a mountain above his head with his hands behind his back. His clothes were blown by the wind, making a loud noise.
The cultivator was about 30 years old, with a cold temperament. On his green shirt was a tattoo of a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, making his body look like a coiled dragon. However, his face was slightly blue, and no one knew it was natural or the effect of his skills.
This person is actually a cultivator who has reached the half-step foundation building stage, and his strength is almost equivalent to that of a low-level gang leader.
Senior Brother Sun looked ashen, and muttered, "The Green-Faced Dragon on the Evil List is actually in the same group with Black Tiger. It's over..."
