After a day's flight, they were only half way away from Dihuangyan Cave. In the evening, they found a safer place to stay.
This is at the foot of a mountain peak, backed by a mountain peak, with a river in front, and the surrounding plants are relatively lush, and the level of the spiritual beasts active nearby is not very high.
A few people started a fire, and Su Zhanyang was sharing the fun of controlling the flying boat with a few others. Lin Tianheng looked at Su Zhanyang's cheerful look and said with a smile in his heart: "Humph, if you wait for two more days to control it, you won't be so happy!"
"
"Brother Lin, you helped a lot this time, saved a lot of time, and also allowed us to experience the taste of this kind of private flying boat!" Shi Chengwu smiled enthusiastically.
"It should!" Lin Tianheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Immediately, he looked at Su Zhanyang and said seriously: "Captain, what is our plan to collect Yuanling Fruit?"
Su Zhanyang also looked over. When he heard what Lin Tianheng said, he took out the mission scroll, opened it and said, "The mission is very clear. It marks the location where the Yuanling Fruit grows and what spiritual beasts are around it!"
With that, he handed the mission scroll to Lin Tianheng. The latter took the scroll and looked at a general location drawn on it. He wondered: "Captain, you said that since there is a map on this scroll, it proves that there is someone there."
I have been there and seen the Yuanling Fruit, so why not just pick it!"
Su Zhanyang smiled and explained: "Someone has indeed seen this Yuanling Fruit. As for the map, the same person who saw it described it and asked the artist to draw it. As for why he didn't pick it off, I think it was because it was not mature at the time.
!”
"Brother Lin, when you have been a mercenary for a long time and have done more tasks, you will gradually understand that the person who reports the location of the treasures of heaven and earth can also get part of the reward. The more detailed the information, the reward
The more!" Shi Chengwu also explained for him.
"What if the report is false?" Lin Tianheng continued to ask.
"If you lie about information, you will be blacklisted by the mercenary union, and the reward cannot be obtained until the task is completed!" Shi Chengwu explained.
In the next hour or so, Lin Tianheng asked a lot of questions about various industries, and others also solved a lot of doubts for him. He couldn't help but sigh, even though Zhenwulu recorded all kinds of knowledge.
But there are still some differences compared with reality. After all, the knowledge in the book may have been a long time ago, and no one knows when it was last updated.
During the chat, several people randomly ate some food such as bacon, and then Shi Chengwu kept watch alone while the others went to rest or practice.
Lin Tianheng found a giant tree, jumped to a branch higher than the ground and sat cross-legged, with his back leaning against the trunk of the tree. This was his favorite place in the wild, and this sitting position was also the most comfortable for him.
.
He saw that everyone was meditating by the fire not far under the tree. He took out the map that Wu Fan gave him and looked at the bright red spot in the center of the map.
After looking at it for a while, he felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he frowned and murmured: "It seems a little different. When the teacher gave it to me, it was not so bright. Now it is obviously brighter."
Nearly twice as much!”
Immediately, he seemed to think of something again, so he suddenly looked at the top of the map, looking at the inconspicuous, faint brown light.
Seeing this, he guessed: "Could it be that the closer you are to these essences, the brighter the marks on this map will be?"
But now he had no good way to prove it. He could only wait until tomorrow to find out. With this idea in mind, he slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, he was the first to wake up, wake up the others, and then set out on the journey again.
Four or five hours later, as the distance got closer, Lin Tianheng took out the map and looked at it. The light marked with red light became more dazzling, even in the daytime, which was obvious, which was enough to confirm his conjecture.
"I didn't expect that a map made by the teacher at random would be so magical. The level of detail is much higher than that of ordinary maps. Not to mention, the brightness of the marks can be adjusted with distance!" Lin Tianheng looked at the map and marveled.
At this time, he carefully looked at some other notes. This view immediately surprised him, because in those small words, he saw many precious spiritual materials and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
name.
Thinking of the function of those marks, he also understood that those places where the information was noted probably contained those items.
Seeing this, Lin Tianheng didn't look any further. After putting the map away, he said to himself: "It turns out that the map left by the teacher is so precious. It seems that I need to be more careful in the future and not take it out casually in front of others!"
Others were looking around to see the scenery, and their enthusiasm for riding the flying boat had not diminished at all, so they did not notice Lin Tianheng at all.
About four hours later, in the evening, a few people finally arrived at the border of Dihuangyan Cave. Su Zhanyang controlled the flying boat and found a stable place to settle down.
After everyone got off the flying boat, Su Zhanyang returned the flying boat to Lin Tianheng, and then said to everyone: "This area has many traces of human activities and is relatively safe. Let's spend one night here and go into the inner circle tomorrow."
It needs to be introduced here that Dihuangyan Cave is a general name for this place. It is the starting point of the lava mountain range and extends to Qingxiu Valley on the border of Bailuo City.
There are still lush vegetation and trees on the outside of the Dihuang Flame Cave. When you reach the inner perimeter, directly above the Yan Cave, there is a stone mountain. The stone mountain is gray, with some trees with excellent heat resistance growing sparsely on it. Among them
There is no shortage of some spiritual materials.
The underground is where the name Dihuangyan Cave comes from. The depth of 10,000 meters is filled with extremely high-temperature magma, and its depth is immeasurable.
Lin Tianheng looked ahead, thoughtfully, thinking to himself: "Let's complete the mission with them first, and then find a chance to escape after the mission is completed!"
Immediately, everyone found a place to rest, and as Su Zhanyang said, human activities were more frequent here, because Lin Tianheng noticed that a group of people arrived two kilometers away from them and stopped. It seemed that the group of people was following them.
They had the same plan, to rest and recuperate outside.
Another night passed, and before Lin Tianheng could call, the others had already woken up. After checking the route, Su Zhanyang led Lin Tianheng and others towards the inner circle.
Not long after entering, the first thing they saw were some trees with long red leaves. This is a tree called flamewood. It has good heat resistance and a high ignition point. It is not afraid of ordinary flames and is a lot of trees.
The first choice for civil building materials.
There are almost no weeds on the ground, just small pieces of rocks, whose appearance and texture are very much like pebbles.
The trees are not very high. Of course, this is compared to the giant trees in other places. Although they are not very high, they are still forty or fifty meters high.
After walking inside for half an hour, everyone was blocked by two fire beasts.
Flame beast, of the fire attribute, looks like an extra-large mouse, with a body length of two meters and a shoulder height of about one meter. However, it has no tail and its body is red, sometimes with some dark red spots. It is a low-level species that lives in groups.
The strength of spirit beasts is mostly between the early and middle stages of foundation building, and usually consists of five to eight animals forming a small group.
Su Zhanyang wanted to lead a few people around. Although the strength of the five of them was not afraid of a herd of beasts, in order to save time and reduce the probability of injury, he still did not want to conflict with them.
But even though he thought so, the Flame Beast didn't think so. When they retreated to the side, one of the Flame Beasts continued to make a sound like a chicken.
Su Zhanyang saw this and said to everyone: "This beast is calling his friends over to form a defensive formation and get ready to fight!"
After that, several people formed a circle around the city back to back. Lin Tianheng saw this and followed suit.
"There should be five to eight flame beasts besieging us later. You guys should be on guard and I'll snipe them outside. Brother Lin, it's no problem!" Su Zhanyang said to several people, and specifically mentioned Lin Tianheng.
"Well, no problem!" Lin Tianheng nodded with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
After a while, six fire beasts of about the same size came, plus the original two, surrounding them. Except for Lin Tianheng, everyone began to get nervous and showed their weapons. Lin Tianheng also symbolically
He took out the broken spirit and made a defensive posture.
Following the cry of the largest leading Flame Beast, all the Flame Beasts swarmed up and stretched out their front paws to attack several people.
At the same time, blue spiritual power emerged from Su Zhanyang's body, and he also used his sword to slash at the leading flame beast.
Lines of blue sword light slashed out and fell on the Flame Beast, who ignited flames to resist. At the same time, the other two Flame Beasts spit out two fireballs from their mouths and threw them at Su Zhanyang.
Soon after, Su Zhanyang raised a barrier around him to resist. With two "bang bang" sounds, the fireball hit the barrier. Suddenly, the fireball burst out and splashed around.
Su Miaoying, Hua Changyu and Shi Chengwu each used their own weapons to fight against the flames.
Although the city is surrounded and defended in a circle, it is not close to each other. It is just that one person stands in one direction to ensure that every aspect can be taken into account to prevent the fire beast from attacking from behind.
Lin Tianheng was also very lucky. There were eight flame beasts in total, three of them restrained Su Zhanyang, two came to deal with him, and the others had one each.
Although the flame beast did not see through Lin Tianheng's cultivation ability, it may be the reason why the spirit beast instinctively felt that he was more difficult to deal with than the other three.
Faced with a flaming beast rushing toward him and another spitting fireballs at him, Lin Tianheng rolled his eyes and wondered how he could pretend to be defeated by this flaming beast.
While he was still thinking about how to act, the fireball had already hit him, and the claws of another Salamander followed closely behind.
After he came back to his senses, he simply did not resist and allowed the fireballs and claw attacks to hit him. He even used only one layer of spiritual power to protect his clothes from damage.
With two "pops", the fire beast that grabbed him with its claws was bounced back by the fluctuation of spiritual power, and the fireballs also exploded and flew around. On the other hand, Lin Tianheng was fine at all.
"Brother Lin, how are you? Can you handle it?" Su Zhanyang looked towards Lin Tianheng after hearing the sound, and asked with concern after seeing two flame beasts attacking him at the same time.
"No problem, just concentrate on dealing with them and don't worry about me!" Lin Tianheng said with a smile.
Shi Chengwu and others also repelled the flame beasts they were fighting. At the same time, they looked towards Lin Tianheng. After seeing that the opponent was facing two flame beasts, they all cast concerned glances, and then began to use all their strength to defeat their opponents as soon as possible.
, so as to support Lin Tianheng.
I saw Shi Chengwu lying with a heavy sword in both hands, exploding all his power, the blade of the sword surged with earth elemental spiritual power, forming four brown arcs of light, which shot out and slashed at the flaming beast in front of him.
The latter spit out several fireballs in succession, but they were defeated one by one by the arc light. Finally, two arc lights fell on the Salamander, leaving two deep wounds and bleeding.
Seeing this, Shi Chengwu rushed forward and slashed at the neck of the flame beast with a knife. The flame beast stood up and dodged, but it wanted to avoid it completely, but it was too late. With a "click", Shi Chengwu's sword hit
The right front paw of the flame beast was cut off.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to pursue and slashed diagonally, but the flame beast was still unable to escape.
"Brother Lin, let me help you!" After Shi Chengwu got rid of his flame beast, he didn't rush to help Su Zhanyang because he knew that the other party had no strength, but Lin Tianheng was different. He didn't know how strong this new member was.
.
Lin Tianheng turned his head and followed the sound, completely ignoring the two flame beasts that were attacking him.
"Be careful!" Shi Chengwu shouted excitedly with his eyes wide open. At the same time, the heavy knife in his hand was raised above his head. When he jumped up, he slashed with the knife. The same four brown arcs as before were slashed out from Lin Tianheng's body.
He passed by and slashed at one of the flaming beasts that attacked Lin Tianheng.
Lin Tianheng raised the corner of his mouth, turned around calmly, and swung his sword at the same time. A purple flame flashed through, and with a "bah" sound, the other flaming beast that was attacking him fell to the ground in mid-air.
When the flame beast stopped by Shi Chengwu saw this, he called out, turned around and ran away. Even his voice changed its tone, obviously frightened by Lin Tianheng's methods.
Because the speed was faster and Lin Tianheng had done all this with his back, Shi Chengwu didn't see clearly what happened. He was just surprised that the flame beast suddenly stopped moving, and the other one ran away as if it was frightened.
At the same time, Su Zhanyang faced three flame beasts at the same time. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, but he severely injured one of them.
The flame beasts that fought against Su Miaoying and Hua Changyu were also seriously injured. The leading flame beast couldn't stand these humans, so it yelled twice in succession and fled with the remaining flame beasts.
After seeing the Flame Beast leave, Su Zhanyang and others came to Lin Tianheng. Su Zhanyang asked with concern: "Brother Lin, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Lin Tianheng said calmly.
After Su Zhanyang heard this, he asked others: "Is everyone okay?"
Su Miaoying and Hua Changyu both said it was okay, while Shi Chengwu looked at Lin Tianheng in surprise and said: "Brother Lin, your situation was so dangerous just now, how did you do it?"
"How did you do it?" Su Zhanyang asked in confusion. While speaking, he caught a glimpse of the body of the Flame Beast behind Lin Tianheng out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Huh? This is...", as he said that, he looked at Lin Tianheng reflexively.
When Lin Tianheng saw this, he knew that he might not be able to pretend for long if this continued, so he raised the sword in his hand, showed it in front of everyone, and said proudly in a dress: "I'm afraid there is no one who can cut it into two pieces with one sword."
Only my broken spirit can do it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on the sword in Lin Tianheng's hand. Su Zhanyang looked at it carefully, looking at the sword blade with a faint green light. There was a slight gap on the blade, and the blade appeared.
There is a slight crack, but this cannot hide the fact that this is a spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Su Zhanyang couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is a spiritual weapon, and judging from its appearance, it should be a middle-grade spiritual weapon. It's just that the sword has some chips and cracks, which is really a pity!"
The gap in the sword body was caused by Lin Tianheng resisting the attack of the bloodthirsty Vine King when he was in the jungle. Although the broken spirit was not so perfect and he was not willing to abandon it, it was still enough to deal with these small scenes.
"Isn't it just a middle-grade spiritual weapon? Why are you so excited?" Lin Tianheng complained in his heart as he looked at the shocked expressions of several people.
However, he still said proudly on the surface: "Although the broken spirit is damaged, it is better than nothing!"
"No wonder, if I had such a weapon, I believe I could do it and cut the flame beast into two pieces with one sword!" Shi Chengwu said enviously.
"It's hard to imagine how strong an attack it would take to destroy such a hard middle-grade spiritual weapon like this!" Su Zhanyang sighed.
Hearing what Su Zhanyang said, Lin Tianheng made a decision in his heart. He picked up the broken spirit with both hands, swept away the soul mark in the sword with his spiritual mind, then handed the sword to Su Zhanyang and said: "Captain
, I decided to give you this sword!"
(PS: It should be mentioned here that when Lin Tianheng originally recognized the broken spirit, he used blood essence, and the blood essence would contain a soul mark. Although he did not understand what it was at the time, it would definitely exist.
Yes, it was only after he was promoted to Foundation Establishment that he realized that it was a ray of divine soul. At this point, he also understood that the essence and blood would originally contain part of the divine soul.)
Having said that, when Lin Tianheng said this, everyone was stunned, and Su Zhanyang was even more at a loss. Lin Tianheng's decision was so sudden that no one expected it.
"This, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!" Su Zhanyang quickly refused.
Lin Tianheng smiled calmly and said: "You need him more than me!"
Later, under Lin Tianheng's delay, Su Zhanyang excitedly took the broken spirit with trembling hands.
After Su Zhanyang took the broken spirit, he asked Lin Tianheng: "Brother Lin, can I decide where this sword goes?"
"Of course, this is already your sword!" Lin Tianheng said with a smile.
Su Zhanyang nodded, then handed the sword to Hua Changyu and said, "Shangyu, I think it will have greater advantages in your hands!"
Su Zhanyang's move made Lin Tianheng proud.
I couldn't help but praise in my heart: "It seems that he is a pretty good leader!"
In fact, at the beginning, Lin Tianheng also wanted to give the broken spirit to Hua Shangyu, because the other party was a wind monk, but he couldn't ignore the leader, so he simply gave it to Su Zhanyang and let him make a decision.
When Hua Shangyu saw that Su Zhanyang was about to give the sword to her, she was speechless. She looked at Lin Tianheng and then at the others, then shook her head and said: "Brother Su, I can't take it. Your cultivation is better than mine."
High, it’s the most suitable one for you!”
"I already have a low-grade spiritual weapon. Brother Lin's sword has a bonus to wind monks, so it's perfect for you to use!" Su Zhanyang said with a smile.
Shi Chengwu and Su Miaoying also nodded in agreement.
Hua Shangyu hesitated for a moment, and finally took the broken spirit. After seeing this, Lin Tianheng smiled slightly and said: "First recognize the owner, and then give it a name!"
"Let's call it Broken Spirit!" Hua Shang Yupo looked at Lin Tianheng thoughtfully and said.
"Haha, there are two formations in this sword. One of them is an amplifying formation, which can increase the attack speed of spiritual power. There is another formation waiting for you to dig out. I haven't seen it yet.
What's the use!" Lin Tianheng said lightly.
"But... you gave me the weapon, then what did you use it for?" Hua Shangyu looked at Lin Tianheng with empty hands and suddenly woke up and asked.
"Don't worry, I still have it!" Lin Tianheng said with a smile.
"Find a safe place, adjust your breathing, and then continue on your way!" Su Zhanyang said at this time.
Everyone nodded without any objection, so they found a place to rest. (To be continued)
