Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 62 Dangerous Underground Lava River (Please read on and vote!)

The dark cloud python in the lava river wasn't particularly powerful. It was about the same strength as the one Lu Cheng'an had killed before, and it wasn't enough to pose a threat to Lu Cheng'an.

The reason Lu Cheng'an reacted so strongly upon seeing the Dark Cloud Python was that he felt it was somewhat abnormal for two late-stage Tier 1 Dark Cloud Pythons to appear in succession in the lava river below Fire Locust Mountain.

This inevitably reminded him of the possibility of a volcanic eruption in the Burning Flame Mountains.

More than a year has passed since the clan chief led Song Yuanshan to explore the Burning Flame Mountain Range. If the volcano in the Burning Flame Mountain Range really erupts this time, it is normal for some abnormal reactions to occur now.

The dark cloud python didn't give Lu Cheng'an much time to think; demonic beasts love to feed on human cultivators.

Because human cultivators' bodies contain abundant essence and rich spiritual energy, they are like naturally refined elixirs to demonic beasts, possessing a fatal attraction for them.

After sensing the alluring aura emanating from Lu Cheng'an, the dark cloud python in the lava river couldn't resist trying to swallow him whole.

Although Lu Cheng'an was distracted in thought, he still reacted immediately the moment the Dark Cloud Python attacked him.

Lu Cheng'an used the Fire Shadow Technique to retreat, leaving behind a phantom image in the same spot. Then he used the Fire Void Point to attack the Dark Cloud Python.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an retrieved the corpse of the Dark Cloud Python from the lava river, quickly processed the useful materials from its body, and then stored them all in his storage bag.

After cleaning up the blood-soaked lava riverbank, Lu Cheng'an took out a communication talisman from his storage bag and sent the news of the Dark Cloud Python back to his clan, while also expressing his concerns.

"I hope my worries are unfounded and that the volcanoes in the Burning Flame Mountains won't erupt!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. The Chiyan Mountain and the Fenyan Mountain Range where his family lived were very close to each other. In fact, Chiyan Mountain, Huohuai Mountain and other peaks were part of the Fenyan Mountain Range.

Lava rivers flow beneath these mountains.

If the volcanoes of the Burning Flame Mountains were to erupt on a large scale, it would definitely have an impact on the Lu family.

The Lu family had finally ushered in a period of stable development because of Lu Wenxing's breakthrough in cultivation to the Foundation Establishment realm. However, if the volcanoes of the Burning Flame Mountains were to erupt, this peaceful situation would be broken once again.

Lu Cheng'an stood on the bank of the lava river, frowning and pondering for a moment. He looked in the direction from which the two dark cloud pythons had come, and then started walking in that direction.

This direction was completely opposite to the direction Lu Cheng'an had previously picked the Fire Lotus from. He guessed that the two Dark Cloud Pythons came from the direction that led to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.

It will be much more dangerous there, and there will be more high-level monsters living there.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an moved very slowly. He was very careful and used his divine sense to explore the surroundings all the way.

"My guess was right. This direction should indeed lead to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, where the spiritual energy and fiery aura are much denser!"

Lu Cheng'an silently sensed the changes in the surrounding fire and spiritual energy, when suddenly a glint appeared in his eyes.

"A top-grade, first-tier Earth Element Grass!"

An excited look appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. Earth Origin Grass is the main ingredient for refining Earth Origin Pill.

The Earth Origin Pill is a first-grade high-quality pill. Its main function is to assist cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Lu family currently has four members at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Lu Cheng'an and his nephew Lu Wenhua broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining relatively recently, and they still need some time before they can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Especially Lu Wenhua, although he broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining much earlier than Lu Cheng'an, his cultivation speed was much slower. Lu Cheng'an definitely broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining earlier than Lu Wenhua. Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenmei have been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for a long time. If they successfully refine the Earth Origin Pill, then Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenmei are very likely to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Cheng'an discovered a total of three Earth Origin Grass plants, all of which were of the highest grade of the first rank and were all in a mature state.

After carefully inspecting the area and confirming that there was no danger around the three plants, he carefully picked them.

Lu Cheng'an did not stop, but continued walking forward.

After walking for nearly half an hour and covering about fifty or sixty miles, Lu Cheng'an finally stopped.

"There are monsters fighting ahead!"

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He tried his best to suppress his aura and slowly walked forward.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an hid behind a stone wall and controlled his divine sense to spread out. He quickly discovered what kind of monsters were fighting in front of him.

"A second-tier early-stage demonic beast, the Fire-kissing Crocodile, was fighting a second-tier early-stage Fire-repelling Earth Spider!"

The Fire-Kissing Crocodile is a demon beast, but the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider is not a demon beast, but a spirit race living in the Burning Flame Mountains.

The Spirit Race is another race between the Demon Beast Race and the Demon Race. Like the Human Race, they are naturally intelligent and have their own cultivation methods.

The number of spirit races in the cultivation world is small, and their strength is the weakest in the cultivation world.

Fire-repelling ground spiders are entirely black. They resemble spiders but are much larger.

The early-stage second-tier Fire-Slaying Earth Spider was as big as a calf, only slightly smaller than the early-stage second-tier Fire-Kissing Crocodile it fought.

Aside from the early-stage second-tier Fire-kissing Crocodiles and Fire-Slaying Earth Spiders, Lu Cheng'an also detected a number of first-tier Fire-kissing Crocodiles and Fire-Slaying Earth Spiders fighting, clearly indicating a battle between two groups.

After observing for a short while, Lu Cheng'an immediately turned back and left.

The Fire-kissing Crocodile and the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider, both at the early stage of the second tier, are comparable to cultivators at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Lu Cheng'an currently only has the cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Refining. If they discover him, he is very likely to die here.

Because the two early-stage second-tier Fire-kissing Crocodiles and Fire-repelling Earth Spiders were fighting, their ability to detect the surrounding situation was greatly reduced. They didn't even realize Lu Cheng'an had appeared until he left.

"I never imagined that so many lives could exist in an underground lava river!"

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to explore the underground lava river.

Unfortunately, he only explored a range of fifty or sixty miles before encountering early-stage second-tier demonic beasts and spirit races. The danger of the underground lava river far exceeded his expectations.

"It seems that I will only be able to explore the underground magma river once my cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly, quickened his pace, and soon left the underground lava river.

During this exploration, he discovered three top-grade first-tier Earth Fire Grasses. He plans to send these three Earth Fire Grasses back to his clan and turn them into pills as soon as possible.
