"Senior Brother Feng, we don't actually have to look for treasures from heaven and earth. Even if we encounter dangerous mid-to-high-level monsters, they are full of treasures. Monster elixirs can be used as medicine, monster flesh and blood can be eaten, and their carapace can be refined.
There is almost no waste in the magic weapon. We in the temple can kill a few fifth-level and sixth-level monsters together, and we can also earn a lot of spiritual stones!"
"That's right! The fire scorpion venom on the fire scorpion can be refined into poison pills, and the scorpion sting can be made into magic weapons, both of which are valuable. It would be even better if we could find the purest fire scorpion demon pill!"
The second-generation disciples of the Zhongtianxu Sect were walking on the hard rocky ground on the third floor of Diyan Mountain, searching for possible monsters and spiritual treasures around them, and talking about them one after another. Those monks who hoped that they could discover the spiritual treasures before others
, naturally took the risk and walked in the front. Other monks who were not in a hurry followed behind.
"How can it be so easy to hunt monsters? You might even end up dead! We have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and it is not easy to become the second generation disciple of the Immortal Sect." Feng Zhongjie held a magic fan in his hand and said gracefully to the few around him.
The monk smiled.
Everyone quickly adapted to the hot and dark red environment here, and gradually disappeared from their suspicions about the unknown monsters under the Flame Mountain.
After all, they are all Tianxu Sect foundation-building monks, many of whom are in the middle and late stages of cultivation. They often go to various dangerous places in the Yunzhou Cultivation World for training, and have rich experience in hunting various monsters. As long as they do not encounter the Golden Core level
Monsters, they can all handle them.
Ye Chen walked calmly among the monks, without talking to other monks, and looked at the environment on the third floor of Diyan Mountain.
Finding natural resources and treasures is easier said than done.
Not only monks are interested in heavenly materials and earthly treasures, monsters also like all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist in cultivating their own strength. The higher the grade of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the stronger the guardian monsters are.
Strong. In the world of immortality, it is rare to see heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are not protected by monsters, unless such heavenly materials and earthly treasures themselves have strong protective capabilities, such as poisonous spiritual trees.
Ye Chen has made up his mind. Unless he can find a spiritual treasure of sufficient value, he will not take action easily.
While he was looking around, he accidentally glanced at the crowd of monks and saw Feng Zhongjie glance in his direction, but quickly looked away.
Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly. Feng Zhongjie seemed to be paying attention to his movements and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
The monks suddenly stopped and looked at the ground in front of them.
The third layer of the Earth Flame Mountain is either gurgling magma or dark red frozen rock. The front is not a hard rock, but a red gravel field of several thousand feet. A piece of gravel appears for no reason on the third layer of the Earth Flame Mountain.
Ground, this is unusual.
"Be careful, there are a lot of edelweiss growing in this area. (""7* There are probably fire scorpions burrowing in the ground and lurking under the gravel! I just don't know how many fire scorpions there are here. If there are a lot of them, we will risk it.
It might be disadvantageous to go in!"
Wang Zhi thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"It's better for two or three junior brothers to go in front to explore the road, and the other junior brothers to support behind. In this way, even if we encounter danger, we can react in time, kill if we can, but not the enemy, and escape, and we can advance and retreat freely. Of course, let's go
The brothers in front risked their lives a lot, so they naturally wanted to get more benefits. Half of the monsters below level six that we hunted belonged to them, and the other half belonged to the monks who hunted the monsters. The natural materials we found
The earth treasure will be divided equally among everyone. What do you think?"
Feng Zhongjie said calmly.
The monks looked at each other and had no objection to Feng Zhongjie's proposal.
If there are not enough benefits, who is willing to take the risk? On the other hand, once there are enough benefits, there are many monks who are willing to take the risk.
"Let me explore the way!"
"We're coming too!"
Soon, three monks who were in the early and middle stages of foundation building stood up. After all, it was to explore the road, not to risk death, so just be cautious.
The three monks each held magic swords and walked carefully on the gravel ground. They used their spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding ground of one to two hundred feet and walked several hundred feet away. But strangely, they did not find any monsters on the gravel ground.
Traces of the beast.
The three of them shook their heads and said to the monks behind them, "No monsters were found!"
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the monks followed him.
Walked hundreds of feet.
Suddenly, the gravel ground in the distance shook violently, and a monster beast moved quickly under the gravel and attacked a young monk at the front.
The young monk was startled, and the magic sword in his hand slashed out a beam of fire that was several feet long, and stabbed towards the monster beast under the gravel.
clang!
The magic sword pierced the hard carapace of its head, sparks burst out but did not penetrate its carapace.
Suddenly, an extremely fast red long shadow swung over and pierced the monk's left arm. It turned out to be the poisonous stinger of the fire scorpion's tail hooked backwards.
It is a sixth-level fire scorpion with a body several feet in size.
laugh!
"Ah~!"
The young monk grunted and threw away the magic sword. He covered the stab wound on his left arm with his right hand and fell back continuously. His left arm became red and swollen rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The temple
"Evil beast!"
"Kill it!"
The two monks beside him were furious. They controlled their magic weapons and attacked the fire scorpion.
Dozens of monks behind him also rushed forward and came to the injured monk's side to provide rescue.
"It's the fire poison of the fire scorpion! Quickly use your magic power to resist the fire poison. Take the fire poison pill!"
A monk in the crowd hurriedly took out a fire-poison elixir and gave it to the injured monk.
The monk hurriedly took the poison-repelling elixir and used his magic power to drive away the poison.
"It's too late. The fire poison in him is too overbearing. If the fire poison attacks the heart, it will be fatal. I can only cut off his left arm to prevent most of the poison from flowing into the limbs! Junior brother, please bear with me. I will cut off your
Cut off the left arm."
Wang Zhi quickly came to the monk's side and took a look at the monk's injuries. The young monk's left arm had begun to fester, and the skin all over his body had become red and hot. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, holding the handle of the magic knife.
"Senior Brother Wang, kill him!"
The young monk was still conscious and knew the power of the fire poison, so he nodded in pain. It would be better to lose an arm than to lose his life.
Wang Zhi swung his magical sword, and with a flash of light, he cut off the young monk's left arm with a "poof".
The young monk groaned and stepped up his magic power to expel the fire poison from his body.
People were being rescued here, and there was movement again. Seven or eight huge fire scorpions sprang out from the gravel and rushed towards the monks. The levels were quite high, almost all fifth- and sixth-level monsters.
"Junior brothers, kill together!"
Wang Zhi glanced around, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, he clenched the magic sword tightly, and shouted in a deep voice. He kicked his foot suddenly and killed a fire scorpion.
The monks immediately controlled their magic weapons and attacked the fire scorpions on the gravel ground.
Ye Chen held a golden sword in his hand and attacked one of the fire scorpions with his sword. While observing the surroundings coldly, he secretly paid attention to Feng Zhongjie's movements.
There are dozens of monks here, and Fire Scorpion only has one leader, so the situation is still under the control of the monks.
Feng Zhongjie and several monks were besieging a fire scorpion. He glanced back at Ye Chen and had an idea in his mind. Should he take advantage of the chaos to plot against Ye Chen and let him die under the fire scorpion to eliminate this trouble!?
But Feng Zhongjie's idea just came up and was immediately rejected by him.
The timing is wrong.
There are too many fellow monks here. If he is found to have secretly framed Ye Chen and is informed by other monks to the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect, the Jindan Elders of the Immortal Sect may not be able to protect him.
The current Ye Chen is not the unknown third-generation disciple from before, and even if he dies, there won't be much of a stir.
Now Ye Chen is the second-generation core monk of Tianxu Sect and the direct disciple of the headmaster Wang. He is very famous in the Immortal Sect. With this status, no second-generation monk in the Immortal Sect will easily provoke him.
"Unless you are absolutely sure that you will kill with one strike and will not be discovered by other sect members, you cannot take action!"
Feng Zhongjie thought silently, and worked together with several monks beside him to kill a fifth-level fire scorpion.
Ye Chen found that Feng Zhongjie looked towards him from time to time, but made no move, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Based on his guess, Feng Zhongjie probably wanted to do something, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
The monks acted fiercely, and soon, the first fire scorpion in this gravel land was beheaded, and no other fire scorpions were found.
These fire scorpions were also extremely powerful. The monks surrounded them, and several monks still suffered injuries of varying severity.
However, when distributing the spoils of war, the monks still had a dispute.
It is not an easy task to distribute the spoils well.
Half went to the three monks who were at the front to explore the road. Everyone had no objection. Each monster was cut into two halves.
The remaining half belongs to the other monks who hunted the monsters, which is a bit troublesome. Who is the main attacker, who contributes the most, who takes the greatest risk to attract the attention of the monsters, and who gives the monsters a fatal blow? These
It's not easy to determine.
Two foundation-building monks had a serious disagreement over who would kill a fire-poisonous scorpion. They argued with each other red-faced and even used magic swords to fight each other, refusing to give in.
Ye Chen folded his hands and looked at it, shaking his head secretly.
However, he can understand.
There are thousands or hundreds of foundation-building monks in Tianxu Sect. There are many monks who do not know each other or have even met each other.
Although everyone is a fellow cultivator of the Tianxu Sect, each of them has his or her own busy schedule, such as seclusion and cultivation. There are not many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays, and there is not much friendship between fellow disciples.
A fifth-level or sixth-level fire scorpion, with all its raw materials, is worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones, or even more. Who would want to give away the spoils of a desperate fight to others so easily?
These were fellow monks. If they were not fellow disciples and were just a group of treasure-hunting monks, they would have started fighting over the ownership of the spoils.
"Stop fighting! If you are fighting against each other in the same sect, aren't you afraid of being arrested and taken to the Immortal Sect Law Enforcement Hall?!"
Wang Zhi shouted in a deep voice towards the two monks who were facing each other with swords.
The expressions of the two monks suddenly changed and they calmed down.
Tianxu Sect has strict rules, and the consequences of violating the rules are very serious. Killing fellow sect members is a serious crime.
"Half of this fire scorpion belongs to this injured junior brother. The remaining half should be divided between you. There is no need to fight anymore. Let's go! There are probably many medium to high monsters on the third floor of Earth Flame Mountain, so there are plenty of opportunities!"
After Wang Zhi said coldly, he turned and left.
He didn't want to pay attention to this kind of quarrel over a mere trophy, but he was promoted as the leader by his fellow disciples and had to control it to avoid breaking up the team.
After all the foundation-building monks finished dividing the fire scorpions, they all fell silent and continued to explore the depths of the cave.
There are indeed many monsters on the third floor of Diyan Mountain, and even monsters acting alone can often encounter fifth- and sixth-level monsters, but they cannot withstand the siege of dozens of foundation-building monks.
An hour later, the monks gradually explored forty or fifty miles, hunted down no less than twenty mid-level monsters, and also found some valuable elixirs. They came to a huge lava pool.
.
The lava pool is filled with gurgling magma for more than ten miles. Only a rock several hundred feet in the middle emerges, and above this rock grows a large fiery red spirit fruit tree. On the spirit fruit tree, there are
There are several fist-sized red fruits, bright red and exuding a spiritual fragrance.
"What kind of spiritual fruit tree is this, and why does it grow deep underground?"
"Which brother recognizes it?"
"This spiritual tree is probably a spiritual fruit tree of level seven or above."
The monks looked surprised when they saw this big red tree.
Ye Chen quickly looked around, wondering in his heart. This must be a very high-grade spiritual tree, but he didn't know where the guardian monster was. He was sure that there was definitely a guardian monster, otherwise the spiritual fruit on the tree
It had long been eaten by other monsters underground.
