"Senior, I promise to tell you whatever you want to know," the captain said immediately.
Shen Lang nodded slightly and asked about some things about Phoenix Valley, including news about Fire Crystal Zhi.
"This...back to senior, this junior has been hunting ferocious beasts outside the Phoenix Valley for decades. Although there are many natural and earthly treasures in the Phoenix Valley, this junior has never heard of such a thing as Fire Crystal Zhi."
The captain replied.
Shen Lang frowned.
The "Linhai Tianshan Strange News" is too old. There may have been Huo Jingzhi in ancient times, but it may not exist now. In addition, it is just an ordinary handwritten note, and it may be someone's nonsense.
But no matter what, even if there was only a glimmer of possibility, he would go to the valley to look for it.
"Senior, I may also be a junior who is ignorant. There is an underground volcano at the foot of the Phoenix Valley, and there may be the kind of natural treasures you mentioned." The captain said.
"Underground volcano? Where is it?" Shen Lang raised his eyebrows.
"This is just a rumor. It is said that the underground volcano is in the center of Phoenix Valley. Monsters frequently appear there. No one dares to step into that kind of place." The captain shook his head and said.
"I heard that there are powerful monsters in the Phoenix Valley. What kind of monsters are they?" Shen Lang asked.
The captain scratched his head and said: "We don't know this either. Very few people have gone deep into the Phoenix Valley. I have also heard from the elders in the past that the most powerful monster in the Phoenix Valley should be a fire python. It is covered in fire and has a mouth.
It can also breathe fire, making it difficult for even ordinary Void Realm experts to deal with."
Shen Lang was shocked. Is there such a powerful monster in this valley?
"But this fire python has not appeared for a long time. It may be rumors and rumors. The Ling family in Longmen Mountain often has family elders bring a group of Ling family disciples to the Phoenix Valley to capture monsters. They dare to enter the central area of the valley.
, presumably the danger is not that high." The captain added.
"Ling family?" Shen Lang's expression changed slightly and he asked hurriedly: "Why are the Ling family arresting monsters?"
"Senior, don't you know? The Ling family has a Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts. Every year at this time, they come to the Phoenix Valley to capture a certain number of ferocious beasts and monsters and imprison them in the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts to raise them," the captain explained.
"That's it!" Shen Lang was relieved.
He had also heard about the Ling family's Ten Thousand Beast Tower, but he didn't expect that the Ling family didn't just raise them, but would actually capture wild monsters and ferocious beasts.
It happened that Shen Lang still wanted to know about Su Ruoxue. Maybe he could meet the martial arts cultivators of the Ling family in the valley. If he caught one or two of them and interrogated them, he might be able to get something out of them.
Afterwards, Shen Lang asked for some news about the Ling family.
I learned that every May of the Ling family, clan elders would lead a large number of disciples to the Phoenix Valley to capture large ferocious beasts and monsters.
In May, spring turns to summer, which is the period when monsters and ferocious beasts breed in the Phoenix Valley. Beasts appear more frequently, so the Ling family chose this day to catch monsters on a regular basis.
Catching monsters and ferocious beasts is only one purpose, and the other purpose is to let the elite disciples of the clan come out to practice.
This Phoenix Valley is a natural place for training.
After asking for some useful information, Shen Lang bid farewell to his team members and rode a wild horse alone towards the Phoenix Valley deep in the mountains.
Shen Lang was a martial arts cultivator in the middle stage of the Transformation Realm, so he was naturally not interested in the shadow wolf corpse. He still looked down upon the aura stone, but it gave a group of team members an advantage.
"Captain, we've sent it!" a team member said excitedly.
"Yes, this shadow wolf is worth at least five thousand spiritual stones!" Another team member said excitedly.
The captain also felt very happy and said: "This time we met a noble person. Let's collect materials quickly. We will attract another shadow wolf later, but no one will save us."
"yes!"
"drive!"
Shen Lang rode a wild horse towards the depths of the mountain.
The mountains in Phoenix Valley stretch for thousands of miles. Although they are not as large as Sunset Forest, they are much more dangerous than Sunset Forest.
For example, the shadow wolf that appeared before, there is no such monster in Sunset Forest.
The speed of the wild horse was not slow. After running for about five hours, it entered the mountains of Phoenix Valley and was almost out of the periphery.
After entering the mountains, the speed of the wild horse slowed down, and it screamed from time to time. Its legs were a little weak and weak, and it looked very restless.
Although they have not yet entered the central area of Phoenix Valley, the smell of monsters coming from the valley makes Ye Ye very afraid.
After a while, the wild horse stopped. No matter how Shen Lang waved his whip, it refused to take another step forward.
After all, it is just a horse, and its combat effectiveness when encountering ferocious beasts and monsters is almost zero. Ordinary beasts will instinctively fear monsters with terrifying auras.
It is impossible to move forward on horseback.
Shen Lang got off the horse, slapped the wild horse's butt and said, "Brother, go play by yourself. I hope you won't get eaten."
As if the wild horse understood Shen Lang's words, it turned around and ran away. Although the wild horse has no fighting power, other ferocious beasts may not be able to catch up with this speed.
After releasing the wild horse, Shen Lang took out the holy weapon White Shadow Sword from the storage ring, hung it on his waist, and headed deep into the mountain.
There were other people before, so Shen Lang didn't reveal the sacred weapon. Now that there is no one in the mountain, there is no need to worry so much about using the sacred weapon.
Although the White Shadow Sword is only a low-grade holy weapon, combined with the Thirteen Deadly Swords, it has doubled his combat power.
He encountered many ferocious beasts along the way, but none of them were very strong. The white shadow sword in Shen Lang's hand could easily penetrate the bodies of ferocious beasts with a sword light.
I don't know whether Shen Lang was lucky or whether there were few monsters in the outer area. He didn't meet a single monster along the way. The shadow wolf that appeared in the outer area may have been an accident, or it may have gone far away while looking for food.
Shen Lang hurried for a day and a night, crossed the last mountain, and finally arrived at the Grand Canyon.
This is the real Phoenix Valley!
The outside of the canyon is called the peripheral area. When entering the canyon, Shen Lang can feel a completely different atmosphere, a cold and ferocious atmosphere that makes people shudder.
This should be the rumored evil spirit!
It may be related to the underground volcano, and the temperature here is relatively sultry. Although it is a canyon, it is surrounded by lush greenery and tall and lush trees, no different from a virgin forest.
Unlike ferocious beasts, monsters are difficult to deal with. Shen Lang mustered up his energy and moved forward cautiously.
There is no map in the Phoenix Valley, so Shen Lang can only rely on his own experience and head towards the center of the valley. Since there is an underground volcano in the Phoenix Valley, it should be easier to identify.
Not long after, Shen Lang reached a place and suddenly stopped.
Ahead is a swamp as far as the eye can see.
Based on his experience, this quagmire is likely to contain a lot of poisons, and there may also be large ferocious beasts such as poisonous scorpions and crocodiles.
The detour is estimated to take several hours.
If you want to break through the swamp, you can only use Qinggong to fly over and try not to touch the ground with your feet.
