"Yes, it's been ten years, and I don't know if the Flame Sun Beast is still there." Huo Yuan frowned slightly, unsure.
"Let's go to sea with me. I'll confirm it." Yang Ji suddenly said.
"How to confirm? Master, do you want to go deep into that crater?" Huo Yuan shook his head and said quickly, "Master, although the crater of the extinct crater is not big, it is dark and terrifying inside, like the entrance to hell.
At first I chased the flaming sun beast to the opening, but I didn't dare to go down."
He was full of fear of the unknown. Yang Ji could understand his mood, but he had his own way of exploring the dangers inside.
At that moment, he also said vaguely: "Just take me to see it, I have my own way."
"Okay, Master!" Huo Yuan is also a human spirit, so he didn't ask any questions and said immediately, "Then I will go to Shopkeeper Jin to arrange a big ship for going to sea."
"Don't reveal too much to him." Yang Ji suddenly said.
"I understand, master, don't worry." Huoyuan smiled, his eyes filled with wisdom.
When Yang Ji saw that he was not stupid, he nodded.
Sure enough, it would be easier to do things if he had people under him. It seemed that he had done nothing wrong by giving away the pill recipe and giving him some benefits.
Yang Ji was quite satisfied.
Huoyuan is very efficient in his work. As the chief alchemist of Wanbao Tower, he has a green light all the way.
Half an hour later, the two of them were slowly sailing towards the sea on a large ship.
After a day of fast sailing, the ship stopped in front of a sea area that looked a bit special.
The seawater in front extends out until the end of the line of sight is red and yellow, which is incompatible with and does not blend with the deep blue behind it.
"Master, this sea is called the Sea of Flowing Fire. Whether it is on the island or at the bottom of the sea, there are many volcanoes. Many unique elixirs and ores are produced here, but they are very dangerous." Huoyuan introduced from the side.
Needless to say, Yang Ji could already see the densely packed islands in front of him like chess pieces.
There is no life on it, only the flaming red magma flowing out and the black smoke rising into the sky.
Thick smoke filled the sky, and the fire raged hundreds of feet, like the ground red with gunpowder smoke, a battlefield in purgatory.
It can be said that the flames are flowing for three hundred miles, and the black smoke is rising and angering the sky.
This is simply not a place for people to stay.
The temperature was so high that the air was distorted violently, creating heat wave ripples visible to the naked eye.
The entire Flowing Fire Sea area is like a huge furnace. The sea water is boiling, the heat waves are rolling, and every trace of wind carries unbearable heat for ordinary people.
Smelling the pungent smell of sulfur, Yang Ji frowned subconsciously.
Then he looked sideways and asked,
"Where is that extinct volcano under the sea?"
"It's not far from here. Master, come with me." Huo Yuan took out the water boat with his backhand, sat in it first, and then dived into the seabed.
Yang Ji also took out his water boat and followed him.
The two walked along the ooze water for ten miles, and then stopped.
Below the two of them, there was an extinct volcano crater with a diameter of a hundred feet. It was dark inside and was really deep and deep.
It is as if a giant creature in the deep sea opens its mouth and quietly waits for its prey to fall into its trap, which is daunting.
"Master, it's down there, and I don't know if the Flame Sun Beast is still inside." The source of the fire can't be estimated either.
Yang Ji didn't say anything, but took a closer look. Immediately, there was a message showing "The sleeping volcano, with magma accumulated inside, will erupt again in a hundred years."
Is there lava in it?
Yang Ji raised his eyebrows and continued to stare [The hot magma contains flaming snakes, ranging from the first to the eighth level.]
[There is a sleeping Yan Yang beast deep in the magma, level ten. 】
Flame Sun Beast!
See this information displayed.
Yang Ji was overjoyed, but soon his expression became serious.
Tenth level?
This flaming sun beast is already more powerful than ordinary monsters. Its flames are so fierce that at level 10, it is comparable to a human foundation-building master.
This... seems a bit difficult to handle.
Yang Ji frowned and said to himself: "This Yanyang beast was still a seventh-level monster ten years ago. How did it advance so quickly?"
He was a little puzzled, because the cultivation of monster beasts was much slower than that of human monks. This Yanyang beast was not from the royal family of monsters, but it could practice so fast.
However, this was not the time to think about this. Yang Ji winked at the fire source and drove the water boat out of the water.
On the big ship, Huoyuan asked: "Master, what did you see just now? Is the flaming sun beast still down there?"
"It should still be down there. Come on, let's go back and get ready," Yang Ji replied.
Should it? Huo Yuan raised his eyebrows, turned his little eyes slightly, stared at Yang Ji, and nodded suddenly.
Yes!
No matter if it's there or not, just pretend it's there!
After all, this Flame Sun Beast is an uncommon fire attribute monster. It would be a pity to miss it. You have to go and check it out.
Yang Ji glanced at him and didn't say much.
"Master, the Flame Yang Beast was about to break through to the eighth level ten years ago. Now after so many years, it is estimated to be a ninth level monster. With our strength, it is difficult to kill it." Analysis of the fire source.
road.
"Yes, it's very difficult." That is a tenth-level monster, so it must be difficult. It is not something they can deal with if they are at the seventh or ninth level of Qi training. Yang Ji said, "Ten years have passed, just treat it as a tenth-level monster."
The monsters will be treated as such."
"Tenth-level monster?" Huo Yuan paused, then hesitated and said, "In that case, it requires a foundation-building master to deal with it?"
"Yes, so I have to ask Master Huo Yuan for a favor. In the name of your peak alchemy master, summon experts to hunt and kill, and I will pay the reward. Master Huo Yuan, are you willing to do me this favor?" Yang Ji looked sideways and smiled.
.
"Master is joking, let alone helping me, I am willing to jump down even if I am asked." Huo Yuan chuckled and glanced at the extinct volcano crater under the sea in the distance, but soon, his expression became awkward without any trace.
His little eyes turned slightly, and he immediately shuddered in his heart. [I'm really scared to jump. I've almost reached the tenth level of Qi training. I can still join the sect and give it a try. If I can build the foundation, there will be many more.
A century of great times.]
Huo Yuan narrowed his little eyes, adjusted his robe, straightened his chest slightly, and said with a smile:
"Master, we are alchemists with a distinguished status. Just leave the hunting work to the casual cultivators. When the time comes, you can sit on the boat with peace of mind and wait for them to bring the beast fire up."
"You are right, you have to make good use of your identity as an alchemist." Yang Ji smiled mysteriously at him.
The two then returned to Wanbao Tower.
On the second floor, in a luxuriously furnished room, a total of seven people were sitting around a table.
Huo Yuan was sitting in the main seat, with Yang Ji on his left and Chen De on his right.
As for the other five people, they were also known to Yang Ji, namely Xu Xiangsong, Liu Yongqing, Tan Guanghong, Fang Sheng, and his Taoist companion Liu Furong.
They all met Yang Ji when he went out to sea on a ship.
In the past two years, in addition to practicing, Yang Ji also went out to sea with ships from time to time. After going back and forth, everyone became familiar with him.
The purpose of calling them here now is to hunt down the Flame Sun Beast.
However, it was Huoyuan who was in charge. After all, they did not know the identity of Yang Ji's alchemist.
Neither Kim Dae-bok nor Huoyuan mentioned it to the outside world.
"Master Huo Yuan, you have invited Senior Chen here. Could it be that what you are hunting this time is a demon beast at the level of a demon general?" Xu Xiangsong said with a faint look on his face.
Huo Yuan sat upright, looking solemn and majestic. He took some time to straighten his clothes, and then said slowly:
"This time, thanks to the relationship between Shopkeeper Jin and me, we are invited here to help the old man hunt down a tenth-level monster. The inner elixir of this monster is useful to me, and I want to use it to refine a special potion of elixir.
After it is completed, there will be generous rewards."
"Oh? What kind of tenth-level monster is worthy of Senior Chen and our five tenth-level Qi Practitioners taking action at the same time?" Liu Yongqing asked hesitantly.
"We will all know when we get there." Huoyuan did not answer directly, but instead said, "This beast is not very powerful, but it is hidden quite deep, so it needs more manpower."
"Where is this beast hiding?" Liu Furong asked.
"In the Sea of Flowing Fire, inside an extinct volcano." Huoyuan said.
Sea of Flowing Fire? Hearing this, Chen De's expression paused, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he smiled gently:
"Since Master Huoyuan has kindly invited me, I, Chen De, will definitely go."
"Then I'd like to thank you, fellow Taoist Chen. I'll definitely give you the elixir when the job is done." Huoyuan cupped his hands and thanked him. With his status as a peak alchemist, he could be on an equal footing with Chen De.
Seeing that Chen De, a master of foundation building, had agreed, everyone looked at each other and nodded towards the source of the fire.
With the addition of foundation-building masters and the five of them, no matter how powerful the tenth-level monster is, it will not be able to cause trouble. The risk will be infinitely reduced, so they will not be afraid.
They are all casual cultivators who have experienced life and death. They have done a lot of things like acting according to the situation. If there is really any danger, they will definitely run away first.
"Thank you very much."
Seeing everyone nodding, Huoyuan immediately gave a smile and then added, "Although that place is an extinct volcano, there may be magma inside. Everyone is still ready to prepare. We will set off again in three days."
"Okay, I happen to have something to do these days. It would be best to set off in three days. I will definitely rush to the Flowing Fire Sea to meet you." Chen De smiled gently.
