Chapter Twelve: Mutation
It has been some time since the registered disciples of Luoxia Peak entered the Earth Fire Spirit Vein to hunt the Earth Fire Flame Spirit, but the originally restless Earth Fire Spirit Vein did not get much relief from this.
The magma that continuously gushes out from deep underground continuously releases a large amount of high-temperature spiritual energy and fire essence energy. These spiritual energy are extremely violent, and every time they erupt, they release terrifying energy.
The energy of the fire spirit will breed the more destructive earth fire flame spirit, exacerbating the instability of the earth fire spirit veins.
At this time, the surging magma located deeper in the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein looked normal, but under these fiery red molten materials, the rising steam turned the entire underground magma river into a boiling oil pot.
The steam forms hollow bubbles, which are filled with high-temperature spiritual energy and fire essence leaked from the earth-fire spiritual veins.
The two are mixed together, intertwined and collided constantly, and then quickly separated after spewing out of the magma, converging with other high-temperature spiritual energy and fire essence to form a larger air mass.
This is where the fire spirit comes from.
As soon as they appear, they float to the upper space and react with the lower-temperature molten material to form earth-fire flame spirits the size of basketballs.
The newly born Earth Fire Flame Spirit feeds on magma, frantically absorbing the high-temperature lava and spiritual energy, and grows in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What's more, the Earth Fire Flame Spirits will devour each other and rob each other of the Fire Essence in their bodies to strengthen their own spiritual cores. This has given rise to many Earth Fire Flame Spirits that are terrifyingly large in size.
They are at the bottom of the Earth Fire Spiritual Veins, covering their huge bodies on the rock surface, constantly melting and devouring them, widening the magma river outwards, squeezing and impacting the underground rock formations.
Boom!
The results of such continuous destruction are obvious. The melting of some underground rock layers directly caused a large area to sink into the magma river.
Violent vibrations were transmitted from bottom to top, first affecting the lower space of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein. Countless rocks fell from mid-air. The lower areas, which were originally supported by these rocks, collapsed and tilted one after another.
The chain reaction soon affected the middle area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein. Yu Xiao was still recovering his mana when he suddenly felt the ground beneath him shaking violently. The amplitude was so large that he once wondered if there was something wrong with his senses.
.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
Without any time to think about it, he suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly stabilized his body.
However, when the entire earth is shaking, no matter how hard you balance your body, you can't maintain stability. What's more, the underlying structure supporting this rock platform has been destroyed, and the results can be imagined.
Yu Xiao had almost no mental preparation, and his whole body fell rapidly downwards along with the rock platform under his feet.
At the same time, within his sight, the middle area of the Earth Fire Spiritual Veins was folding at an almost right angle, and everything was falling downwards.
The high-temperature spiritual energy rising from below aggravated the chaos of the fall. The spiritual energy rushed wildly, throwing everything in contact with it, squeezing the rock wall on one side, and stirring up countless rubble.
"Oops, I'm afraid the restlessness of the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein has further intensified!" Yu Xiao immediately thought of the cause of this situation.
But at this time, he had no way to prevent the destruction of the middle area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein. He could only save his own life first.
Moreover, the entire Earth Fire Spirit Vein is within the boundaries of the Cold Light Spirit Killing Formation. In order to suppress the violent spiritual power, there is an absolute air restriction here. Whether it is the soaring cloud technique or the flying magic weapon, it will
Doesn't do anything.
This array was built by the Fuguang Sect with a lot of effort, and the cost of maintaining it is also very high. To activate it, at least one monk at the elixir formation stage is needed.
Otherwise Zixu Zhenren would not have made this trip all the way.
In fact, their small trial was just an accessory link for Master Zixu to quell the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein Riot, and was dispensable.
Therefore, such a disturbance in the Earth Fire Spiritual Veins would be a disaster for all the monks who enter it.
The rocks that came one after another hit Yu Xiao, causing him to grin in pain and immediately began to think about ways to save his life.
Looking around, he found that the rock platform he was on was still intact, and he suddenly had an idea.
He leveled the entire cave and stood in the center of the five-pole formation flag. He relied on the protection of the formation barrier to resist the flying stones, and at the same time attached the light body charm to his body to reduce the impact on himself.
For the sake of safety, the Black Shield Pearl was activated to the extreme, and multiple layers of protection were applied, but Yu Xiao still felt unsure.
At this time, more than a minute had passed since the collapse of the middle area of the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein, and there was still no sign of stopping. The rock platform under the feet began to be unable to withstand the high-speed impact, and there were faint signs of fracture.
Yu Xiao had already prepared for the worst, which was to fall into the lower space of the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein. As long as he survived the fall, he could use most of the remaining spiritual power in the Meditation Antipyretic Talisman to return to the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein.
the upper area.
Bang bang bang!
After a while, the sound of the impact of objects falling below came to his ears. Yu Xiao knew that he was about to reach the end, and immediately prepared for the impact.
Boom!
A deafening roar exploded underground, causing Yu Xiao's eardrums to hurt and his scalp to feel numb. He had no time to pay attention to these things that had nothing to do with life and death. At the moment of impact, his body once again showed the soft ripples it had before.
state.
At the moment of impact, a powerful impact force was transmitted to Yu Xiao's body, but with the ripple state, he offset the force back and forth between his bodies in a split second, and then relieved most of the force.
He didn't suffer much damage himself.
Then, while the rock platform under his feet was completely broken, he stepped suddenly with the soles of his feet, his body rushed forward rapidly, and landed smoothly in a safe place.
At this time, the crashing sound behind him did not stop, and the boulders that continued to fall from above soon completely destroyed the previous rock platform and covered it up.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Xiao took a deep breath with lingering fear. After no more rocks continued to fall, he hurried to the rubble ruins and took back the scattered five formation flags one by one.
Fortunately, a magic weapon of this magnitude was not damaged in the previous impact. After Yu Xiao put it in his storage bag, he began to check the surrounding environment and evaluate his own situation.
At this time, he didn't know where he was. He was surrounded by the endless red earth. Hot magma flowed from below. In some places, the magma had not left the ground and was spreading in all directions above, creating a less obvious danger.
area.
In addition, this place is filled with high-temperature spiritual energy, which is squeezing from all directions, like countless pairs of invisible hands.
The terrifying temperature once made Yu Xiao, who had the dual protection of "Taiyin Seventy-Two" and the Meditation Antipyretic Talisman, feel a little bit hot.
It is hard to imagine that without the protection of the Meditation Antipyretic Talisman, if a monk in the Qi Refining Stage is exposed to such an environment, he is afraid that he will turn into a ball of fire in seconds.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time." Yu Xiao's thoughts were spinning rapidly, recalling the entire underlying structure of the Earth Fire Spiritual Veins, looking for a way to the top.
However, after walking around, other than seeing some rocks falling from above, there were no roads extending upward on the red earth.
This place is like the bottom of the Nine Nether Abyss, cut off from all contact with the outside world.
"Something's wrong, this place is so empty, how could it be the lower area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein!"
Yu Xiao muttered to himself, and an unpleasant thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
I'm afraid that his current location is definitely not in the lower area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein, but somewhere deeper.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully. The middle area of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein has collapsed and fallen, so the lower area was obviously the first to be affected. How could it still be intact?
"Now we're in trouble!"
There was no way to go to heaven, and he would die faster if he went down to the earth. For a while, Yu Xiao inevitably felt a little anxious.
What's even more terrible is that here, the spiritual power consumption of the Meditation Antipyretic Talisman has doubled. The remaining spiritual power is no longer enough to support the original estimated time. At most, there is still an hour left, or even more.
