"It can't be killed?" Lin Xuan frowned. The body of this snake-like creature seemed to be no different from the molten lava of dead matter. Ordinary means could not counter it.
Hiss! The snake-like creature cried out, and opened its mouth for the second time. This time, it did not use any ray-type methods, but instead sprayed out a cloud of red mist, which aroused his nerves.
"Poison? Can you use poison with a body like yours?" Lin Xuan was stunned, and then immediately jumped several feet away to avoid the red mist, which went straight onto the big rock.
As soon as the red mist came into contact with the big rock, the surface of the big rock immediately turned charred black, became burning red, and then dissolved.
"Fire poison, fire poison is also poison. In essence, it is still the power of the fire attribute, not the power of the poison attribute." Lin Xuan saw clearly what was going on with the red fog.
Chapter 50: Strange Creatures
Hiss! Croak! Hiss! Croak! With strange cries and rumbling sounds, the molten lava was opened up, and the heat wave rushed straight to the face. The special creature in the lava lake climbed onto the shore, leaving a charred footprint with each step. The two long-range methods did not work, so it immediately climbed up.
There is not an inch of flesh and blood on its body, it is made entirely of molten lava. Due to the characteristics of molten lava, its body lacks the refinement of ordinary creatures and appears sloppy and strange. Only the hot and bright hot lava itself makes up for the image, otherwise it would be no different from the image of a ghost from the underworld.
Its appearance is also quite strange. It has human limbs, but a long and round neck shaped like an earthworm, a head shaped like a snake's head, and a second mouth on the front of its belly!
"Huh!" Lin Xuan shrank his neck back. This creature was very oppressive after coming ashore. It was roughly estimated that it had the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining. The lethality of its molten lava was comparable to the power of exquisite killing magic.
"Quack!" The mouth on its belly made a strange noise and rushed over. Every time it stepped on the ground, it shook slightly. Its huge fist attacked him head-on, and the scorching wind from its fist dried his skin.
Bang! Lin Xuan's palm was full of thunder power. After fighting with it, Lin Xuan was still not at ease and covered it with a layer of blood power. As a result, the thunder power and the fire power of the strange creature collided violently and exploded violently. Large drops of molten magma splashed onto Lin Xuan's body surface, scaring him to shake them off.
He almost got burned, but fortunately, his physique at the peak level of the twelfth level was not to be trifled with.
It was approaching his face, and his soul scanned it twice in an instant. Lin Xuan let out a light exclamation. Although the power of his soul could not penetrate the interior of the magma, it discovered a special node. All the power of the strange creature would flow through this node. Is this its weakness?
"You'll know if you give it a try!" Lin Xuan's eyes focused, and his body jumped in a thunder arc. The power of wind was entangled, and his wind and thunder body skills increased his flexibility to a higher level, allowing him to dodge the fierce attack of the creature.
The strange creature was huge but very flexible. It waved its arms that were spewing molten lava wildly in all directions, blocking a lot of space for maneuvering and leaving few opportunities for attack.
Lin Xuan was waiting for the opportunity while dodging and moving around, with unparalleled sword intent brewing secretly. The Tiangong Sword Art has not stood still in the past few years, and the power of the strongest sword has already increased by several times.
Hiss! Croak! Bang! The fist as big as a human head smashed into the ground, creating a dent. The huge force caused dense cracks to spread around the edge of the dent. Lin Xuan dodged the attack by jumping.
He jumped to three and a half times his own height, picked up the magic sword with a thought, and allowed the strange creature to attack him dozens of times. The sword intent had already taken the opportunity to brew like a surging tide.
"I gave you the chance but you didn't seize it!" Lin Xuan's face was cold. The surface of the top-grade spiritual sword flashed with faint light as if it was quenched. He stabbed it towards the heart of the strange creature and the sword energy shot out.
Swish! Crack! The sword energy sank straight into the molten lava, and he heard the sound of tearing flesh and blood. Its body was clearly made of molten lava, which was a bit weird. Then he heard a slight shattering sound. He paused. Did he just accurately determine its weakness?
"Not good!" Lin Xuan's face changed drastically. Such violent energy, is it going to explode?
He retreated quickly, leaving footprints on the ground, and instantly hid more than ten feet away, finding a big rock to block the direct impact of the explosion.
Boom! The mountain was shaking, molten lava was thrown into the air, and Lin Xuan was concentrating on avoiding the extremely hot substances that were splashing around him. If they stuck to him, he would be in trouble.
"What is that?" After the strange creature exploded, the disturbance to his soul was instantly reduced by 90%. He immediately found that a bead was suspended where the explosion occurred, and it was about to fall into the magma pool.
Immediately use the object control technique to stop the bead from falling and grab it into the palm of your hand.
"This is..." Lin Xuan looked at it carefully. As soon as he took the bead in his hand, he felt an incredible amount of heat, but it was 80% colder than the molten lava, so there was no risk of burns when he held it in his hand.
The bead is round and translucent, like a jelly meatball, with a transparent outer layer and a round orange-yellow substance wrapped in the center, like an eyeball, or like an egg yolk wrapped inside.
This should be one of the treasures produced by the Fiery Red Land. As he had not thought of the use of this bead for the time being, Lin Xuan put it into his personal space, which took up a full cubic space of one and a half.
There is no need to worry that the beads will melt the things in the portable space. Firstly, the collections inside are very resistant to high temperatures. Secondly, there is a clear difference between the portable space and the internal space of a storage bag or storage ring. The internal space of the latter is a whole, and the stored items are all placed in the same space, while the internal space of the former has no specific shape.
This means that as long as there is enough space on you, an object will only take up a certain amount of space, and instead of having all your belongings piled up in the same specific space, each object should be stored independently.
There are only some tokens, spirit stones, etc. in the portable space, which do not take up much space.
The soul covered the magma pool again. The strange creatures disappeared and the overall fire attribute power dropped by several levels. There was no new breath of life in the soul's perspective.
He turned around and looked towards the depths of the blazing red land. Looking towards the center, he could see the shadows of mountains that were hundreds or thousands of feet high. As he had expected, there were these creatures on the mountains.
Apart from the mountain peaks, are there any similar traces of creatures on the plains? He didn't find any traces on the plains he walked through, perhaps because he was teleported to the corner of the blazing red land.
After a short rest, Lin Xuan controlled the spirit sword and flew towards the nearest mountain. The second mountain was more than ten feet higher than the first one, and there was only a magma pool. Two strange creatures appeared, and they were stronger. Lin Xuan was trapped in a bitter battle, and his body was burned on a large area.
The flesh and blood were scorched by the fiery power, and the dead and burned flesh and blood were fighting.
In the end, Lin Xuan defeated the two strange creatures and obtained two beads. His body was severely burned, so he swallowed a magic pill to heal his wounds on the spot. After more than ten hours, his injuries were barely 88% healed.
After resting, Lin Xuan set out again to look for strange creatures to fight. Anyway, he brought a handful of healing elixirs with him, so he could withstand the consumption and turn the blazing land upside down.
The secret realm of the blazing red land was thousands of miles in radius. Lin Xuan was teleported to the outer area and kept exploring in circles. This area was full of scattered individual hills.
Fighting, healing, searching, repeating a fixed process. Each strange creature has a central power node, which becomes their weakness. Breaking the weakness can defeat them, which is quite simple.
Repeating a fixed process is so fascinating that one forgets the time. Two months passed before he knew it. Lin Xuan had only walked through 40% of the outer area and obtained dozens of treasure beads with rich fire power. At least after going out, he could exchange for a lot of resources.
Chapter 51: Encountered an Attack
There are various shapes of creatures wandering in the flaming red land. One type has a human body, an earthworm neck, a snake head, another type has a wolfhound body, a scorpion tail, and a turtle head, and there is also a fish with two rows of wings. They all follow their own will.
Without exception, they are all creatures of the same kind, because they drop identical beads after being killed.
On a mountain outside the western part of the secret realm, the magma pool returned to calm, the creatures inside were killed, the chest of the young man in blue clothes heaved violently, and his right hand from the wrist turned into charcoal, almost burned completely.
Just now, he abandoned his weapon and slapped the molten lava with his Thunder Palm Technique. As a result, the power of thunder and the power of fire collided violently, causing an explosion. The close-range explosion broke through his physical defense and his palm was blown to pieces.
Fortunately, I survived a little bit and will have to rely on this little bit to heal my wounds for the next half month.
After two months of exploration and fighting, Lin Xuan had a rich harvest. He had obtained dozens of rare treasures such as light beads. In the future, when he traded treasures with other cultivators, he would have an extra chip in his hand. In addition, through dozens of fighting experiences, Lin Xuan's fighting talent increased rapidly like space teleportation.
He was stunned for a moment, and some fragments of memory appeared in his mind. To use an unfamiliar description, it could be called the speed of a rocket.
After dealing with the creatures in the secret realm many times in the past two months, Lin Xuan has become familiar with them. Although these things show spirituality that is higher than that of inanimate objects, they do not show any intelligence at all.
Not only are they unintelligent, they are also very aggressive and will attack you as soon as you're discovered.
Relying on the survival potential, the vitality was rekindled and with the help of the elixir, the damaged palm slowly recovered. At the end of the thirteenth day, the dead skin on Lin Xuan's palm shed for the last time, indicating that the injury was completely healed.
A number of Taoist techniques such as frost and rain technique, sword-controlling technique, and object-controlling technique have been integrated, and the understanding of the direction of fighting has become deeper, which has improved the strength in disguise. This should also be considered a kind of foundation.
"It's a bit boring outside. At most, I'm besieged by three creatures from the secret realm at the same time. With my skills, I can stay away and use my spirit sword to break their weaknesses. I can even defeat them without getting hurt. Every time I get hurt, it feels a bit deliberate. The external pressure seems a bit fake."
Several elders mentioned that external pressure can help with breakthroughs, so Lin Xuan attaches great importance to this method. Now that there are no signs of breakthroughs, it may be because the external pressure is deliberate and false.
In the final analysis, the creatures in the outer secret realm are not only one level weaker, but also have limited means. Every time he is injured, he takes risks on his own initiative, so he has to face the real danger!
"Let's take a look at a more central area. This entire outer circle is like a greenhouse." After Lin Xuan recovered from his injuries, he immediately set out to advance towards the center. The scattered magma pools on the outer mountains or plains were scattered and isolated. He suspected that the layout had been deliberately adjusted by the sect's powerful men.
Taking the potential of the tenth level of Qi Refining as a unified standard, Lin Xuan estimated that his strength was similar to that of the early stage of Yongquan. The strength of the creatures in the outer secret realm could not give him a real sense of crisis at all.
"Or maybe Sister Guan and the others are wrong. My foundation is still weak. Breaking through the thirteenth level of spirit, energy and spirit at the same time requires an astronomical amount of accumulation?"
Lin Xuan flew dozens of feet away with every breath, and he ignored the lonely peaks of one or two hundred feet that he encountered. He had fully verified that the gains from these lonely small peaks were very little.
Besides, he already had dozens of treasure beads stored in his personal space, so he wasn't short of such treasures.
After going deep into the area for hundreds of miles, they finally left the outer area and entered the core area. If you ask Lin Xuan how he judged, he has seen continuous mountains appearing one after another. They are not very high, but the mountain tops are connected into one, ranging from a dozen miles wide to dozens of miles wide.
Looking down from the air on every mountain range, one can discover a considerable number of lava pools. The number of secret creatures living in each lava pool is two to three times more than those in the surrounding areas.
A dozen miles away, they encountered a solitary mountain that was thousands of feet high. When flying over it, Lin Xuan saw three lava pools on the mountain, but he did not find any trace of the creatures in the secret realm.
"Strange, where did the secret creatures on this mountain go? Did I encounter traces of other disciples' activities?" Out of curiosity, Lin Xuan found an open space to land.
It was calm and there was no sign of any creatures from the secret realm. In the 40% area he swept through the periphery, there must be at least one creature from the secret realm in each lava pool.
"This mountain should be visited by other disciples." Lin Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of cool air. This secret realm of blazing red land was worthy of its name. Even his breath could be considered cool.
Having not seen anyone for several months, Lin Xuan almost thought he was trapped in this haunted place.
"Who!" Just as he was about to leave, his back suddenly felt numb and tingling, and he was instantly overwhelmed by a sense of crisis. In a flash, he grasped the handle of the spirit sword, turned around and swung the sword.
Clang! What a crisp sound of metal and stone vibrating. Lin Xuan's eyes widened, and he felt an overwhelming force transmitting and impacting him, causing him to retreat violently for a hundred feet, and in the process he also smashed two large rocks.
"My sword!" He cried out in pain. A crack appeared on the top-grade spiritual sword, spreading to half the depth of the sword.
The precious sword that has been with you for many years, is it going to die today? ! !
"Which lunatic attacked me from behind!" The despicable act aroused Lin Xuan's bloodiness.
His arms trembled slightly, and his twelfth-level perfect physique was completely at a disadvantage. The opponent was incredibly strong.
The strong wind blew, and my pupils shrank subconsciously. I saw a black shadow rushing in front of me. I couldn't see the face of the person who attacked me because it was too fast, but my body instinctively threw out a punch to meet the attack in an instant.
Ding! It was as if the sound of a huge bell was heard when a heavy weapon was struck. Lin Xuan's face changed. He felt his own weakness more directly when he met the enemy with his fists. He had no power to resist at all, and the bones in his arm broke.
He was forced to retreat violently by the huge force. In a blink of an eye, the foot of the mountain was in sight. The force had not been completely relieved yet and he was beaten dizzy. At this time, the black shadow chased him again. This time, his abdomen was attacked and a whip magic weapon hit his body.
Crack! Hiss, Lin Xuan sucked in hot air, his body was burning from being whipped, a fiery and violent force took the opportunity to invade his body and wreak havoc, he was stunned by the small combo.
The core area is so dangerous that I was beaten up by a mysterious existence as soon as I stepped in!
In three breaths, Lin Xuan was beaten passively, with bruises all over his body, and marks of whips and fists all over his body. It was so miserable. After being beaten badly, he also woke up and realized that the attacker was a human cultivator!
"Who, who are you? Which holy land, An** sect's spy? You killed me without any grudge against me, bullying the weak, you are not a son!" Lin Xuan's blood boiled and he cursed angrily.
Perhaps, his words made the attacker feel ashamed. The black shadow's attack paused for a moment, and then immediately disappeared without a trace. Lin Xuan did not see the attacker clearly from beginning to end. He fell to the ground, his face full of fear.
"Don't let me know who you are!" He was furious, and 30% of his bones were broken and shattered.
Chapter 52: Summer and Autumn
After several days, all the broken bones and muscles were healed. Lin Xuan no longer looked for creatures to fight in the secret realm, because there were external dangerous factors hidden in the blazing red land, including spies from other sects!
The mysterious man stopped halfway. Lin Xuan was not naive to think that his words awakened the kindness in the other party. There must be other reasons that forced him/her to stop the evil deeds.
Besides, his sword was damaged by the murderer, and the creatures in the inner world were probably stronger than those in the outer world. He was powerless, and the broken sword could only support flying.
Humph, it’s all that mysterious villain’s fault. Don’t let me know which holy land you’re a spy from!
Alas, with a broken and damaged sword, there is little hope of defeating the indigenous creatures of this dangerous secret realm. I have no choice but to wander around and explore the Flaming Red Land. If there is nothing to gain, I will have to leave and explore the Flaming Red Land again next time. The upper limit of this secret realm should be quite high.
The top-grade spiritual sword is the top quality of spiritual weapon. Some cultivators in the early stage of Yongquan can barely control immortal artifacts of this quality. When they return to the sect, they will get a new sword that must be of magic weapon level!
There are six levels of artifacts: spiritual artifacts, magic artifacts, magical treasures, Taoist artifacts, acquired spiritual treasures, and innate treasures. The next sword I choose will be of the magic weapon level. After practicing for a few more years, I will naturally be worthy of it!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan went deep into the core area of the flaming red land to explore. He encountered many secret creatures that were dozens of feet tall. However, he had no sword to perform the Heavenly Palace sword technique, so he fled in panic every time.
I lost my sword and was tied up. I was disappointed in the second half of the Blazing Land!
Lin Xuan was heartbroken and tried to avoid the creatures in the secret realm. He slowly approached the center of the secret realm. After going thousands of miles deep, he could no longer see the lonely peaks. All he could see were mountain ranges, even groups of mountain ranges. Moreover, the mountains became higher overall, with the lowest reaching hundreds of feet in height.
The plains were squeezed out by the mountains, and Lin Xuan gradually had no chance to settle on the plains.
The more central areas are no longer bare land, but strange grasses appear one after another. No matter what their appearance is, they are all fiery red, emitting amazing burning energy. The elders guarding the entrance did not lie, the flaming red land is rich in fire treasures!
Lin Xuan picked up several fiery red spiritual plants and felt an astonishing burning heat. Every time he approached more spiritual plants, he felt a palpitation and was so scared that he ran away. It was normal for powerful beings to guard the spiritual plants. When he encountered such spiritual plants, he had to return empty-handed.
If the spirit sword was still intact, why would I not dare to compete with the creatures guarding the spirit plants? It's all because of that mysterious spy. If I hadn't encountered him/her, why would I be in such a mess?
It's so frustrating to be stuck in a realm. I hope I can understand the key to a breakthrough as soon as possible.
Lin Xuan wandered in the more core areas, carefully avoiding danger. Only a few times he had to take action and kill the creatures in the secret realm at the risk of being seriously injured, and was forced to consume many healing pills.
He discovered that every time he finished healing, the next time he fought with the creatures in the secret realm, his body's fire endurance and resistance would be slightly enhanced, making him less passive, and it would be a little easier to kill the creatures in the secret realm next time.
In the fifth month of the Blazing Red Land, ever since Lin Xuan entered the secret realm, disciples have been entering and leaving one after another. The elder at the entrance silently calculates and records the time of each disciple's entry and exit.
It was already deep winter in the Eastern Spiritual Territory, and on that day, heavy snow was falling in the territory of the Xuannv Palace.
After staying in the secret realm for many days, he finally made a special discovery on a mountain.
There was a large magma lake with a hole opening that allowed the magma to leak out and flow, forming a river that spread all the way to the foot of the mountain. In the center of the magma lake, there was a raised lotus platform, on which a fire lotus was swaying.
It was an enchanting fire lotus, the whole body was light purple, and the heat it emitted was even more astonishing than that of a large lake of magma. It was obviously a fire treasure, some kind of spiritual fire of heaven and earth. Lin Xuan did not recognize the name of this spiritual fire, as he had no knowledge of it at all.
The moment I discovered the spiritual fire, I felt a desire in my heart to possess it!
Lin Xuan hid behind a huge rock and swallowed his saliva, then sighed in frustration. There was the breath of living creatures in the magma lake, and they must be powerful creatures. How could he get it?
He was at a loss of what to do, and suddenly, his eyebrows raised, as that vague feeling of being watched appeared again. He had this feeling frequently in the past two months, but he did not notice who was watching him from behind.
"Come out, I've noticed you for a long time, do you think I didn't notice you?" Lin Xuan looked around coldly. He couldn't see the peeper with his naked eyes, so he wanted to speak to trick the person into showing up.
"Come out quickly, or I will report to the sect and ask the elders to investigate!" Lin Xuan's face was cold and he was burning with anger. If there was no result, he would definitely ask the elders to help investigate after he got out. He was almost beaten to death last time and was full of anger.
"Don't be nervous, we are all family. I didn't mean to peek." After being warned, the secret peeper could no longer sit still. She descended from the clouds, her skirt fluttering, appearing and disappearing. She was dressed in a fiery red color, which matched this secret realm very well. She was a true disciple.
She has long red hair, fair skin, and is as beautiful as an angel. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and her skirt covers nothing, making her look hazy and dazzling. Her figure is surprisingly beautiful, like a magical fairy.
Lin Xuan looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed the sect's true teachings. The entrance to the secret realm was guarded by the elders, and other cultivators did not have many opportunities to come in, except for spies planted by other sects.
He was suddenly stunned. No, the elders of the sect should be able to tell the difference, right? How could any spy be able to hide from the elders and sneak into the true teachings, unless the elders themselves were the spies.
Impossible, Xuannv Palace is a top holy place. There is no way that spies can sneak into the top of a top holy place. The vast cause and effect in the dark are to prevent it.
