A few people traveled through the forest and encountered many spirit beasts during the process, but none of them were suitable.
A few people were taking a break by a small lake. There were ancient trees beside the lake, and you could clearly see the white snow covering the tops of the trees.
Above the gray sky, endless snowflakes poured down, and the whole world was a vast expanse of white.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier." Zhao Xuan frowned, fearing that those thick and heavy soul beasts would be even less able to move.
"Brother Xuan, the water is here."
Ma Hongjun handed several water bags to Zhao Xuan, who distributed them to the two girls.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Xuan smiled, this kid became more active after getting the third soul ring.
"No, I should, I should." Ma Hongjun chuckled, and the joy on his face could not be concealed. This time, he became a soul master after this trip! Haha!
"Huh? Brother Xuan, look, why is there still fog rising there?" Suddenly, Ma Hongjun pointed in one direction with a surprised look on his face.
Looking from the empty sky above the small lake, I saw a bunch of white mist rising from the distant horizon, which looked particularly strange in this season of heavy snow.
"Let's go over and take a look." Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed and then he decided.
Zhao Xuan was running through the forest with several people. This time he only took Hermione with him. Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun had just broken through to the soul master realm, so they had to be given some time to become familiar with their powers.
The group of people walked for about half an hour, and then stopped at the foot of a mountain.
At this point, the terrain gradually lifted up, forming a slope. The strangest thing was that the temperature seemed to be a little higher.
Walking up the slope, they reached the top of the hillside not long after, and looking around, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's so empty. What is that there? Is it magma?" Hermione asked curiously, pointing to the center of the basin in front of her.
Zhao Xuan looked at the surrounding terrain, nodded and said: "It looks like this is a volcanic crater, and there should be magma leaking there. No wonder there is water mist rising here."
This mountain is not like other peaks with clusters of peaks. The mountain is cut off in half on the mountainside, and then the terrain slopes down toward the center of the mountain, forming a basin.
Moreover, this basin is not small. It is estimated to be four or five kilometers in diameter. There is red magma pouring out in the center of the basin. The ground temperature is very high. The snow falls and melts into water. The water flows into the center of the basin and is then heated by extremely high temperatures.
The temperature evaporates into water mist.
Due to environmental reasons, almost no grass grows in the basin.
The magma pool in the center of the basin is not small, and the center is bubbling "gurglingly".
But when his spiritual consciousness covered the past, he discovered that there was a "strange movement" in it.
"Hiss... what is this? You can actually bathe in lava." Ma Hongjun was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
Through Zhao Xuan's spiritual perception, several people clearly saw a strange thing moving happily in the magma.
Zhao Xuan was also a little surprised, and his mind was racing. He found the record of this kind of thing from his distant memory, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is a soul beast!"
"Soul beast?!"
Several people couldn't believe that any soul beast could still move in the magma.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan explained: "This is a relatively rare special soul beast called the Flame Lord. The master doesn't know much about him. When he gave the lecture to Xiao San, he only mentioned it briefly and talked about it a little bit.
Check out its physical features."
"Did you see it? Its body is made of rocks, with lava flowing all over it. This guy has good strength and strong defense. And the most terrifying thing is that when it attacks, lava will splash out."
"Then...can it be used as Hermione's third soul ring?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly interrupted.
"Um?"
Zhao Xuan was stunned. He had never considered this. He glanced at the Flame Lord again and said with some hesitation: "This kind of soul beast is too rare and only exists in places with magma. The master's research on it
There aren’t many, so it’s hard to tell its exact age.”
"However, this guy seems to be at the level of a thousand-year soul beast, and he is likely to produce a defensive soul ring. It is worth a try."
Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered, and then he said to several people: "Wait a minute."
There was a blur in front of the three people's eyes, thunder flashed past in front of them, and Zhao Xuan's figure was lost in their sight. The three people hurriedly looked towards the basin, and a purple-gold lightning with a bright tail had reached the edge of the magma pool.
The purple-gold lightning transformed by Zhao Xuan flew over the magma pool, and then he stretched out his hand to pull on the flame lord's arm. Under the tentacles, scorching heat immediately hit him, which made Zhao Xuan's physical condition somewhat uncomfortable.
Raising his hand to scoop it up, Zhao Xuan pulled the Flame Lord's huge body out of the magma and threw it towards the shore. The Flame Lord's head was also rock-like, with two holes flashing with blue will-o'-the-wisps.
Being picked up by Zhao Xuan, the will-o'-the-wisps in the Fire Lord's eyes seemed to have solidified at this moment, as if his mind was full of thoughts about who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
When the Fire Lord was picked up, a large piece of magma was brought up at the same time. The hot magma hit his face, and the Purple Sky Divine Thunder surrounded Zhao Xuan.
The third soul ring flashed, and Zhao Xuan launched a telecommunications scam and ducked to the shore.
The Fire Lord came back to his senses and roared angrily at Zhao Xuan. His body was five or six meters high and looked very shocking. There was even lava spurting out during the roar.
Several lightning whips emerged out of thin air, smashing the flying magma into pieces.
Bah! Bah!
A thunder net formed by lightning suddenly appeared, and then surrounded the Fire Lord. The Fire Lord looked around, and then wildly waved his arms made of rocks to resist.
But the Purple Sky Divine Thunder is not a vegetarian. Every time the Flame Lord moves, the purple-gold divine thunder will always hit it with a "snap". The will-o'-the-wisps in the Flame Lord's eyes flicker, as if he is screaming madly.
Then, its movements gradually decreased, and the will-o'-the-wisp in its eyes became dim, as if it would dissipate at any time. So Zhao Xuan quickly called the three of them over.
"Hiss, it's really made of rocks! This...how to kill this?" Ma Hongjun took a breath of air.
Zhao Xuan said to Hermione: "Pour water into its eyes."
Hermione nodded, then quickly took out the water bag from the soul guide, and carefully poured it into the eyes of the Fire Lord.
There was a "chichi" sound after the water fell, and the flames in the Fire Lord's eyes gradually extinguished.
"Bang!"
After the will-o'-the-wisp was extinguished, the rocks that made up the Flame Lord's body instantly scattered to the ground, and a purple soul ring slowly rose from inside.
"Thousand-year soul ring!" Everyone was a little happy.
"Let me check."
Zhao Xuan also felt a little surprised. He carefully observed this circle of soul rings with his spiritual consciousness.
"It contains more soul power fluctuations than Zhuqing's. It should last a few more years, but it has not yet reached the limit of the third soul ring."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile on his face, and he waved to Hermione: "It suits you very well, hurry up and absorb it."
"Um."
Hermione nodded, her face looking a little expectant and a little excited.
After Hermione sat down to absorb it, everyone relaxed. Zhao Xuan looked at the girl's calm face with some expectations in his heart. He didn't know whether he could obtain defensive soul skills. According to the characteristics of the Fire Lord, this possibility is not low.
.
"Brother Xuan, what is that?"
At this moment, Ma Hongjun suddenly pointed at the pile of stones scattered by the Fire Lord.
Among the scattered piles of rubble, there was a very brilliant colorful light.
