Xu Lei subconsciously moved his steps, and suddenly a crisp cracking sound sounded from under his feet. When he looked down, he found that it was an animal bone that had withered for an unknown period of time and he accidentally stepped on it. He quickly moved the sole of his foot away.
Kara——
There was the same sound again, and Xu Lei realized that his feet were covered with animal bones of various ages. Most of them had been eroded by years of wind and rain into dry dark gray, so he didn't notice the pavement just now.
The floor is filled with shocking skeletons!
"Instructor, why are there so many bones here?" Although these bones do not look like human beings, looking at the dense bones all over the ground still makes people feel chills down their spines.
"This is the place I want to take you to absorb attributes. This place is called the Bone Burial Ground!"
"Bone Burial Ground!" Xu Lei's heart was excited. The name alone was enough to make people tremble.
The instructor nodded, "As long as it is a living thing, it will have a lifespan, and the same goes for monsters. It's just that some with higher cultivation levels can survive for tens of thousands of years, but they will eventually run out of life. Unlike ordinary beasts, monsters
Beasts are all spiritual. Just like humans, they will find a good place for themselves after they die.
This is a place where the self-generated soul will not be wiped out, so the extremely yin place is the best choice. Before the life is exhausted, the monsters will feel it, so they will come to the extremely yin place in advance to wait for their life to be exhausted.
After all, we call the place where such monsters choose to end their lives the Bone Burial Ground!"
"Then my attributes..." Xu Lei looked confused, because monsters will only produce attribute crystal nuclei after they die due to external force. When monsters die naturally, the crystal nuclei in their bodies will also be destroyed together with their bodies.
, so Xu Lei felt a little confused. Without a crystal core, how could he absorb attributes?
"This is your unique advantage!" the instructor said: "You have a rare mutated demon soul and an extremely rare attributeless physique. With these two as prerequisites, you can absorb a kind of spirit that strictly speaking does not belong to any
Properties of properties.”
"An attribute that does not belong to any attribute?" Xu Lei was confused when he heard this.
The instructor continued: "This is a substance that is like fire but not fire. It is said that it is like fire, but the people who died in its dormitory did not see any traces of being burned. It is said that it is not like fire, but it is also like fire."
It can burn anything, and this kind of thing is called - demon fire in this world!"
"Demon fire?" Xu Lei heard this word for the first time.
The instructor nodded, "Yes, substances like demon fire are not produced by the crystal nuclei of a few demon beasts, but are formed naturally under special conditions over many years by some complex elements in the bodies of demon beasts after countless deaths.
, this element exists in the air, and only when they gather together in large numbers can
It can be seen with the naked eye. The production of demon fire must meet the necessary conditions such as death, demon energy, and extreme yin, and it must go through hundreds of thousands of years of natural fusion and tempering to finally form this element. As far as I know,
There are no more than ten places on this continent that can produce demon fire, and this is one of them."
"Not every bone burial place can produce demon fire. It can only appear in extremely yin places that have slowly settled over hundreds of thousands of years and remain undamaged. The bone burial place you see now
The earth has at least 500,000 years of precipitation, so it has sufficient conditions, and there must be elements of demonic fire in it!"
"Half a million years!" Xu Lei looked surprised. For the short lifespan of ordinary humans, which is only 180 years, the number of half a million years is really too huge.
The instructor continued: "This is the shortest among the ten bone burial grounds that may produce demonic fire. The longest age in the other areas has exceeded tens of millions of years. The longer the age, the more the demonic fire element is produced.
Pure and intense!”
"Then why don't we just go to the tens of millions of years of bone burial ground to absorb the tens of millions of years of demon fire?" Xu Lei couldn't wait to say with excitement.
"Millions of years?" The instructor was amused by Xu Lei, "With your current cultivation level, if you can successfully absorb these five hundred thousand years of demon fire, I can burn high-quality incense. The longer the age, the better the quality of the demon fire."
, but it also means that the danger is greater. With your current strength, even if the demon fire lasts for millions of years, let alone tens of millions of years, you will probably turn into a white gas before it touches the sparks!"
Xu Lei scratched his head awkwardly, smiled sheepishly, and said, "It seems very safe here, and demon fire is so rare, why doesn't anyone come here to absorb it?"
The instructor said: "I have just said that the prerequisite for being able to absorb demon fire is that not everyone can absorb this kind of substance. People who have both demon soul and non-attribute physique are already rare, and even if they have these two
The characteristics are already absolutely outstanding. If you absorb any attribute crystal core with slightly better quality, you can become a peerless master. How many people are willing to take this risk?"
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Instructor, am I stupid?"
The instructor looked at Xu Lei and said seriously: "You are indeed stupid, so stupid that the whole world mistakenly thinks you are really stupid."
The sky has completely darkened, and the stars in the sky reflect each other, casting their faint light on the continent.
At ten o'clock in the night, the time of the day when Yang Qi is at its weakest, is also when the demonic fire element is at its purest.
After walking into the rocky hillock, there were no gaps in the soil under our feet. It was filled with the bones of all kinds of monsters that had been deposited for unknown ages. There was a weird musty smell all around. The huge rocks under the faint starlight were like giant stones.
A ferocious beast.
What is the place of death?
There was no life form to be seen, no insect buzzing to be heard, and not even a small weed to be seen. Nothing but death was death. This extremely gloomy aura made Xu Lei, who was following the instructor,
My hairs stood on end, and I always felt like countless pairs of eyes were quietly looking at me in the dark.
"Be careful, don't step on it!" the instructor walking in front suddenly said, and made a big stride.
Xu Lei saw something as thick and black as a thigh where the instructor was standing astride him. It was inconspicuous at all, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"This is the tail of a monster beast." The instructor said calmly.
When Xu Lei took a closer look, he realized that the black thigh-thick thing was only a small piece. Looking at it, Xu Lei almost didn't scream in surprise.
A behemoth that was at least three stories high was crawling tightly on the ground. Its entire body looked like a hill in the darkness. Under the reflection of the faint starlight, two people could barely be seen from the body of this "hill".
--Eye!
"It is at least a seven-star monster that has lived for tens of thousands of years." The instructor said calmly as he looked at the huge, motionless creature lying on the ground.
Xu Lei's heart was excited. This was a seven-star monster. Even a cub could easily kill ten Xu Lei who were tied together. What's more, this was an adult monster that was tens of thousands of years old!
"Don't worry, it won't attack us." The instructor said calmly: "This is a monster that is about to run out of life. When its life is about to run out, it will not have any aggression and will only
Quietly waiting for death."
When Xu Lei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. If he said that, wouldn't he be able to easily obtain a seven-star quality crystal core by taking this opportunity to kill this big guy?
"You can try moving it." The instructor saw through Xu Lei's thoughts and said, "If you are tired of living, just do it."
"Uh..." Seeing that his thoughts were read by the instructor, Xu Lei smiled sheepishly, "Haha, I was just thinking about it."
Seeing Xu Lei's appearance, the instructor sighed helplessly and said: "You should never forget what I said to you before. There is absolutely no shortcut on the road to the top. Any shortcut is just a fatal mistake."
Traps, just like your little thought just now, if it were so easy, who else would risk their lives to hunt monsters? Can't we just go to the Boneyard and squat for a while? "
"Although the dying monsters that come here are not aggressive, it does not mean that they do not have the ability to attack. On the contrary, the strength of the dying monsters is their most powerful moment. At this time, if
When violated, they will explode stronger than usual
It launches a devastating attack with several times the strength. I just said that this monster is not aggressive, I just said that it is too lazy to pay attention to us. At this time, it just wants to end its life quietly, but if it is violated, for
It would be an absolutely horrific thing for an aggressor to do!"
Along the way, Xu Lei encountered several dying monsters of different levels, but he stayed far away from them. On the one hand, it was a sign of respect for the dying life, but more importantly, on the other hand, it was because Xu Lei
Haven't lived enough yet.
After walking in the rocky hill for about an hour, the instructor looked up at the dark sky. After looking around for a while, he slowly said, "This is it. In the very center of the burial ground, the demon fire element is the most refined."
A pure place.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at Xu Lei, who had a calm face, and said in a heavy and serious tone: "With your current level of cultivation, absorbing demon fire is definitely a very dangerous thing. If you fail, there will only be one end: annihilation."
, there is not even a bit of bone left. If you are not careful, you will pay a fatal price. It is still too late for you to regret it now."
Xu Lei didn't speak. He looked up at the sky filled with countless stars for a while, then showed a smile as bright as the stars in the sky and said, "Let's get started!"
Looking at this young man who could still have such a bright smile in the face of life and death, the instructor suddenly felt a strange and complicated feeling in his heart. He remembered many, many past events, scenes that seemed extremely important at the time, but now it seems
, it turned out to be exactly the same as this scene.
But for those past events that only remain in memories, the burial ground has just become the passing years. Time is the burial ground of everything. No matter how glorious or painful the past was,
In the end, they will all be buried by the passing of time quietly, and like these densely packed skeletons, they will eventually disappear into ashes.
