[Fire Dragon Master], as a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, was still able to escape from the Nascent Soul in time and survive after his body was smashed into pieces by [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark].
But strange beasts like [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] don't have this ability.
Although its physical body is many times stronger than that of ordinary Nascent Soul monks, and its recovery ability is also many times that of Nascent Soul monks, it definitely does not have the ability to survive after its head is severed.
What's more, after Zhou Yang cut off its head with a knife, Zhao Yuanpu had already taken away its fallen head and imprisoned it in time, so even if it really had the ability to reattach its severed head, it would have to put its head back into its body first.
.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, your injuries..."
After it was confirmed that [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] was dead, Zhao Yuanpu quickly looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes full of concern.
He had seen how weak Zhou Yang was after he used [Blue Dragon Splitting Sky]. It was gratifying that Zhou Yang killed [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] just now with a sudden attack, but if this caused his side to lose another combat power, Zhao Yuanpu
I don’t know whether I made a profit or a loss.
After all, they had just killed the unexpected enemy [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark], but none of the five formation platforms containing the most powerful weapons had yet to be breached.
Faced with Zhao Yuanpu's concerned inquiry, Zhou Yang waved his hand and replied in a low tone: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Zhao, Zhou's injuries are not serious, but his strength will be reduced in the future!"
Only he himself knows best whether it is really nothing serious.
After Zhao Yuanpu heard what he said, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he nodded immediately and said: "So Zhao is relieved. If killing this beast will destroy such an important combat power as Zhou Daoyou, then this beast is really
It’s not a pity to die!”
"Sun also wants to thank fellow Taoist Zhou for avenging Sun!"
[Fire Dragon Master] Nascent Soul said, looking at Zhao Yuanpu.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, this time we were able to kill this [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark]. Fellow Daoist Zhou contributed the most. Sun suggested that the demon elixir in this beast should belong to Fellow Daoist Zhou. What do you think?"
When Zhao Yuanpu and Zhou Yang heard this, they were both slightly startled. Then they both glanced thoughtfully at the small Nascent Soul body of [Master Fire Dragon], and already understood the intention of what he said.
Obviously, [Master Fire Dragon] is willing to speak for Zhou Yang like this at this time. In addition to the fact that Zhou Yang did a great job and helped him avenge his hatred, the bigger reason is probably because of the [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] that Zhou Yang said before.
above.
For the current [Fire Dragon Master], no treasure is as important as the [Blood Lotus Reincarnation Pill] that allows him to reshape his flawless body, so before obtaining this spiritual pill, he must try his best to please Zhou Yang.
After Zhou Yang understood this, of course he would not refuse the overtures of [Master Fire Dragon], but he could not take the initiative to respond and could only remain silent.
Although Zhao Yuanpu could understand the difficulties of [Master Huolong] rationally, he still had some dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, he had saved [Master Huolong]'s life before.
But after all, he is a sensible person and knows that if he speaks out against [Master Fire Dragon] at this time, he will not only attract resentment from the other party, but also easily make Zhou Yang unhappy. It is really not the behavior of a wise man.
The most important thing is that he has not achieved any of his goals this time. If he has a conflict with his two companions due to the current issue of spoils distribution, and later wants them to sincerely help him regain the remains and relics of the ancestor of the sect, it will obviously
It's no longer realistic.
In this way, his choice is not difficult to guess.
"What Fellow Daoist Sun said is reasonable. The grudge between Zhao and this beast has lasted for hundreds of years. This time, Fellow Daoist Zhou showed off his power to help Zhao kill the beast and help Zhao fulfill his wish. Naturally, this most precious demon elixir will
It’s none other than fellow Taoist Zhou!”
Zhao Yuanpu smiled slightly, then waved his sleeves and used his flying sword to dig open the body of the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark], took out a fiery red crystal the size of a human head and handed it to Zhou Yang.
This fiery red crystal is the same thing as the demon pill in [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark]. It is actually correct to say that it is a demon pill.
Zhou Yang took the fiery red crystal handed over by Zhao Yuanpu, and after a brief inspection, his face couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction and joy.
In his perception, this fiery red crystal contained extremely pure and rich fire-attribute spiritual power, just like a large fire-attribute top-grade spiritual stone.
What's even more rare is that the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] aura contained in this fire attribute spiritual power is rapidly weakening and seems to be on the verge of completely dissipating.
This means that after all the aura of the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] in the fiery red crystal dissipates, Zhou Yang can directly absorb the fire attribute spiritual power in the refining to improve his cultivation.
And based on the size of this fire-red crystal, the pure fire-attribute spiritual power contained in it has been completely refined, which can at least save Zhou Yang decades of practice time. How could he not be happy?
The main reason why cultivators cannot directly refine the spiritual power in the demon elixir to improve their cultivation is that even if the demon beast dies, the spiritual power in the demon elixir will still retain its aura.
If you directly inhale this kind of spiritual power that contains the aura of monsters and beasts into your body for refining, it will easily conflict violently with your own original magic power. Not only will it be difficult to improve your cultivation, but it will also easily lead to going crazy.
But the fiery red crystal in Zhou Yang's hand did not have such hidden dangers.
With a face full of joy, he packed the fiery red crystal in a jade box and put it into a storage ring. Then he cupped his hands to Zhao Yuanpu and said: "Since Zhou has obtained the demon core of this strange beast,
There is no need to compete with the two fellow Taoists for what is left on his body, the two fellow Taoists can distribute it among themselves!"
Hearing his words, [Fire Dragon Master] immediately shook his head and said: "Being able to kill this [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] is all due to the efforts of Zhao Daoyou and Zhou Daoyou. Sun has no shame to divide anything. The remaining
Naturally, all the things you bought should belong to fellow Taoist Zhao."
Although what he said was true, the three of them fought together. Even if he had no credit, he still had hard work. How could Zhao Yuanpu really let him get nothing? Even if that was reasonable, it would be unreasonable.
"Fellow Daoist Sun's words are wrong. As the saying goes, those who have seen you have a share. You cannot let fellow Taoist return empty-handed just because your contribution is small. If word spreads like that, which fellow daoist will dare to go with fellow daoist Zhao and Zhou in the future?"
As Zhao Yuanpu spoke, he looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Do you think Zhao is right, fellow Taoist Zhou?"
"It's absolutely true. What Fellow Daoist Zhao said is absolutely true. Fellow Daoist Sun must not be so humble. If Fellow Daoist doesn't choose something, the matter will spread. How can Zhou and Fellow Daoist Zhao behave as human beings!"
Zhou Yang nodded repeatedly, and of course he would not object in this regard.
Seeing this, [Fire Dragon Master] finally stopped refusing and immediately cut off two pieces of ventral fins from the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] corpse and put them away, and then gave the rest of the corpse to Zhao Yuanpu.
This time, Zhao Yuanpu was no longer humble, and immediately cut the body into several parts with his sword and put them into the storage ring, waiting to be carefully divided and disposed of later when he had time.
After the three of them divided the spoils, they had a long night and a lot of dreams. They each took the elixir to restore their mana, and then continued to attack the five formations.
Naturally, Zhao Yuanpu will be the main force in this attack on the formation.
After Zhou Yang performed [Blue Dragon Split Sky Slash], although he himself said that there was no serious problem, looking at his pale face and weak and sluggish aura after contact with the transformation, we knew that his current strength must be much lower than before, and how could he really display it?
How much strength he has, only he himself knows.
[Fire Dragon Immortal] Not to mention, with only one Nascent Soul left, if he were not protected by the rare treasure [Fire Dragon Cover], he might even be able to refine the [Red Lotus Earth Fire] in the formation space.
he.
Even with the protection of this rare treasure, he can only play drums and help with suggestions now, and he doesn't dare to join in this kind of battle again.
Fortunately, when driving the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] to travel through the thunder, they had already tested out the changes in the formation's killing moves near the five formations. At this time, the three of them responded in advance, which made up for the lack of personnel due to injuries.
The resulting shortcomings in combat effectiveness.
After spending nearly half a month in this way, Zhou Yang and others finally took out all the holding objects on the five formation platforms.
These five final items are a sixth-level spiritual object [Earth Fire Source Stone], a sixth-level medium-grade magical weapon [Yan Snake Sword], a sixth-level low-grade magical weapon [Red Lotus Dharma Table], and two
An orb that seals the sixth-level flame dragon and the sixth-level fire rhinoceros demon soul.
Among them, the [Earth Fire Source Stone] is the object placed on the array platform that Zhou Yang first pointed out. This object has three main uses. The first point is to increase the temperature of the Earth Fire. You only need to store it in
At the ground fire outlet in the earth fire room, the temperature of the earth fire that increases through it can even be comparable to the infant fire of a monk in the infant stage.
The second point is to serve as a source of ground fire. In some special places where it is inconvenient to draw ground fire from the ground, and if ground fire is needed, this object can be used as a medium, assisted by some formations.
, a steady stream of earth fire is produced to supply monks with alchemy and weapon refining.
The third point is used to act as a suppressor for certain fire-based formations to enhance the power of the formation.
There is no need to say much about the functions of the two magic weapons. An offensive magic weapon and a defensive magic weapon, although their grades are different, are both good treasures.
As for the last two orbs, they look like magic weapons but are not magic weapons. They seem to use some special weapon refining method to refine the demon elixir of the demon beast into a special container to hold the demon soul of the demon beast.
The flaming dragon and flaming giant rhinoceros that Zhou Yang and the others encountered in the formation were actually transformed by the demon souls in the two orbs. After their demon souls merged with the orbs, they seemed to have gained some kind of "immortality".
The characteristic is that as long as the orb itself is not destroyed, it can be reborn with the help of the power of the orb, and the orb can borrow the power of the formation here to recharge itself.
According to the pre-arranged distribution method, Zhao Yuanpu contributed the most when attacking the formation, so he selected the treasures first, and he naturally selected the most valuable sixth-level middle-grade flying sword [Yan Snake Sword] first.
Zhou Yang chose the second treasure, and he chose the sixth-level low-grade defensive magic weapon [Red Lotus Dharma Table].
When it was [Fire Dragon Master]'s turn, he first refused repeatedly on the grounds that he had not put in much effort. Later, when he saw that he could not refuse, he chose the [Earth Fire Source Stone].
Then Zhao Yuanpu picked another orb with the Flame Dragon demon soul sealed, and Zhou Yang took away the orb with the Fire Rhino demon soul sealed.
When he got the orb, Zhou Yang also studied it and found that although this object did not require a monk's magic power, it did require a surprisingly high level of spiritual consciousness.
If you want the demon soul in the orb to obey the monk's command after it comes out, the spiritual consciousness requirement of the monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is the minimum requirement.
This alone made him lose interest in this thing.
This object seems to be only suitable for use as a defensive device, not as a magical weapon.
After the treasures were distributed, the question before Zhou Yang and the others was how to break through the formation and enter the real cave.
In fact, after the five formations were breached and the holding objects inside were taken out, the three of them felt that the power of the formation had been significantly weakened. The fire pillar and fireball attacks that used to appear frequently were now much less frequent, and even
The [Red Lotus Earth Fire] that filled the entire legal space also began to become thinner.
After this change occurred, even Zhao Yuanpu and [Huolong Zhenren], who were not very familiar with formations, knew that this formation, which had existed for countless years, had begun to have major problems.
At this time, after the treasures were divided, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Zhou has discovered the flaw in this formation. Fellow Daoist Zhao will do as Zhou said, and we will break through the formation and enter the mansion right away!"
When Zhao Yuanpu heard this, his spirits suddenly lifted, and he happily responded: "Fellow Daoist Zhou said it bluntly, and Zhao will definitely obey his orders."
So Zhou Yang told several flaws in the formation that he had discovered. After Zhao Yuanpu learned about it, he directly launched an attack in the direction he pointed out.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the three of them successfully broke out of the formation and saw the cave behind the formation.
What is unexpected and reasonable is that the cave behind this formation is very different from the caves that cultivators usually open in the mountains.
This so-called cave is a large piece of rock floating in magma. This rock is generally round in shape and has a diameter of hundreds of feet. There should have been a magnificent stone palace on the rock. Unfortunately, the stone palace has now been destroyed.
It was smashed and destroyed by people, leaving only some collapsed rubble that can be barely distinguished.
Of course, the gazes of Zhou Yang and the others would not linger too long on the ruins. After the three of them came in and took in the scenery on the rocks, they stopped at two places.
In one place, there was a mummy with a broken chest. The damaged red robe on the mummy was the same item as Zhao Yuanpu's, so his identity during his lifetime was self-evident.
This mummy sitting on the ground is none other than Chu Zhennan, the great elder of Shenhuo Palace thousands of years ago.
And beside a fire pool not far from Chu Zhennan's corpse, there was also a corpse lying there.
The corpse seemed to be much older. Under the erosion of the years, only a dry skeleton was left, and even the head was missing.
Judging from the actual situation, this corpse is probably the real owner of this place. He should be a Nascent Soul monk who lived thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. He died here because his life span was exhausted or for some other reason.
As for why Zhou Yang and the others were able to determine that this corpse was a monk in the Nascent Soul stage during his lifetime, it was of course because once a monk reaches the level of a true immortal who transcends tribulations, he can reshape his immortal body and condense his true immortal body.
As long as the body of a true immortal is not deliberately destroyed, even if it is passed away, even if it passes through thousands of years, it will still be incorruptible and indestructible, just like a living person.
However, what caught the attention of Zhou Yang and the others was not the withered bones with nothing on them, but something in the fire pool next to them.
The fire pool was not big, only more than three feet long and two feet wide. The deep purple fire inside was burning brightly and had not been extinguished for countless years.
And in the midst of the blazing fire, a strange purple flower was floating and growing.
This strange purple flower looks like a camellia, but it has no stems or lotus leaves, just like a picked camellia and thrown there.
But Zhou Yang and the others could clearly feel that it was a living thing, with the vitality of a living thing on its body.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Sun, you two have been practicing several times longer than Zhou. Do you know the origin of that strange flower?"
Zhou Yang looked at the strange purple flower with piercing eyes. It took a lot of effort to look away, and then looked at Zhao Yuanpu and [Master Fire Dragon] and asked about the origin of the strange purple flower.
He had just deliberately recalled in his mind the various spiritual object illustrations and books he had read, but found that he had never seen a spiritual object that matched the description of this strange purple flower in any of the books.
However, what disappointed him was that Zhao Yuanpu and [Huolong Zhenren], two veteran Nascent Soul monks who had practiced for more than two thousand years, did not know any information about this strange purple flower.
"Although Sun doesn't know the origin of this strange purple flower, seeing that it grows in the purple flames in the center of the earth and lasts for thousands of years, you can know that this thing must be a rare treasure in the world, even if some people say it is
Sun doesn’t have the slightest doubt about the legendary seventh-level elixir!"
[Fire Dragon Master] said these words in an excited tone, but his eyes had already shifted from the purple strange flower to Zhou Yang and the two of them.
I saw a flash of reluctance on his little face, and then his eyes were fixed, and he looked at the two of them with a serious look on his face and said: "Two Taoist friends, Sun knows that his strength is low, and he has contributed very little in this trip.
As for the ownership of this strange purple flower, Sun will not be involved."
"But Mr. Sun also hopes that the two fellow Taoists can exercise restraint and not hurt our feelings because of a foreign object!"
[Huo Long Zhenren] is able to practice as a casual cultivator to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. If nothing else, his way of making choices and sophistication in the world must be far superior to that of ordinary people.
Ever since his body was destroyed by the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark], he has been trying to downplay his presence in the team, and he will not fight for any benefits, for fear of causing death for himself.
Although that purple strange flower is rare in the world and extremely precious, [Huolong Zhenren] knows very well that if he dares to compete with Zhao Yuanpu and Zhou Yang for this thing with only one Nascent Soul left, then he will lose his own power.
Seeking death.
No matter how good the treasure is, it is not as important as one's own life. [Master Huolong] has been practicing for more than two thousand years and has understood this truth for a long time. He cannot understand it anymore.
Therefore, although he was very reluctant to miss the treasure like this, he was still able to restrain his greed and make the most correct decision.
After hearing his words, Zhou Yang and Zhao Yuanpu couldn't help but look at each other and fell silent.
[Fire Dragon Master] knew that he was not strong enough and was willing to give up this opportunity. Both of them had to make sure that their strength was not inferior to others, so naturally they were unwilling to give up easily.
And since there is only one treasure currently visible, no one is willing to mention the agreement made before the three came.
After all, the agreement was just a verbal agreement, not an oath that must be fulfilled.
It's impossible for anyone to be so stupid as to make a death pact to bind themselves to this kind of adventure and treasure hunt.
"We all seem to have forgotten one thing!"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhao Yuanpu, then raised his hand and pointed at the remains of the founder of Shenhuo Palace and said: "Since the original owner of this place has passed away long ago, who did the founder of your sect fall into? Then the murderer has really left this place.
Is it done?"
Hearing his words, not only Zhao Yuanpu's expression changed, but also the [Fire Dragon Master] was horrified. He quickly injected more mana into the protective [Fire Dragon Cover], and then looked at the surrounding environment with a confused face.
After Zhao Yuanpu's expression changed for a while, he murmured to himself: "There is something fishy about the death of the Patriarch Zhennan of our sect here. However, it has been more than three thousand years since the Patriarch Zhennan fell into silence. Since the murderer can
If you can kill Patriarch Zhennan, you can't still be trapped here after so many years!"
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yang, and said pointedly: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is too suspicious. If the murderer who killed Zhennan Patriarch of our sect is really still trapped here, we and others who were previously trapped in the formation will
At that time, I'm afraid he was poisoned by him. Even if he couldn't sneak attack on us in the formation, when we appeared here just now and our foothold was not stable, it was his best chance to make a move. But now, aren't we still okay?
Are you standing here?"
Zhou Yang, however, seemed not to hear what he was saying, and said noncommittally: "Maybe, Zhou just felt that it was not a big mistake to be careful. After all, the eighth-level monk of Yuan Ying, the founder of the noble sect, died tragically here. It is really shocking.
We can’t rest assured about the safety of this place!”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanpu couldn't help but look at him deeply, then nodded and said: "In that case, Zhao will first put away the remains and relics of the ancestor of our sect, and then you and I will discuss how to deal with that strange purple flower.
,Do you think this is true, fellow Taoist Zhou?"
When Zhou Yang heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the remains and said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Zhao's words reminded Zhou that since the founder of the noble sect died from external force, why did the murderer
But they didn’t take away the relics from the founder of your noble sect? You can’t ignore the treasures of an eighth-level Nascent Soul monk!”
Zhao Yuanpu and [Huolong Zhenren] immediately changed their expressions, and they sacrificed their favorite magic weapons one after another. Their faces were wary and they looked at the remains like Zhou Yang.
yes!
Even those true immortals in the Tribulation Stage cannot easily give up the treasures carried by an eighth-level Nascent Soul monk.
Since Chu Zhennan was killed, why were the relics on his body and the strange purple flowers in the fire pool not taken away?
