Chapter 64 Rock Spirit
"Don't fight if you encounter monks from the Southern Region. If anyone is injured, return immediately." Ji Wuhen read the content on the note and raised his eyebrows. Then he handed the note to Lu Qian and Baili Qing to read one by one.
"I've never heard that Elder Lan is good at the art of predicting fate. Today, everything he said is right." After reading the note, Lu Qian secretly praised in his heart.
"Presumably the real secret in this space is not as simple as the treasure. No matter what it is, we just follow the instructions on this note and return first. Junior Sister Qing'er's injury is not serious, it is safer to return to the Yudao Gate in time for treatment." Ji Wuhen said.
…
In the space outside the gate at the other end of the square.
The entire space was filled with an extremely high heat wave. Looking from a distance, a magma lake is located deep in the space, reflecting the entire space in red. Six huge pillars were faintly visible scattered around the magma lake. Above the magma lake was a spiderweb-shaped spirit gathering array, with a red treasure flag hovering in the center of the array.
"Senior brother, look, the flag in the magic circle is probably the treasure we want to get." Yu Qingcheng said, pointing with his hand.
"It should be this flag." Ning Tianqi said.
"The fire-attribute spiritual power here is so abundant, it is a good place to practice fire-attribute skills. If I were not here to get treasures, I would like to stay here for a few more days to practice." Gui Gufeng, a red-haired man, said.
"I didn't expect that we would come to the treasure first." Bai Shaojie said with excitement.
"Wait a minute!" As Gui Gufeng exclaimed, the four of them stopped.
"Everyone, be careful. I feel that there is a terrifying fire-attributed spiritual energy in the magma lake. Its hidden power is not inferior to that of the old dragon in the sand sea before." Gui Gufeng said with a serious face.
"Senior brother is here, what are you afraid of him doing?" Yu Qingcheng said disdainfully.
"Master Guigu practices fire-attribute skills and is good at concealment. He is probably right. Everyone should be careful."
After Ning Tianqi finished speaking, he put one hand in front of him. A wisp of black wind condensed on the fingertips, and instantly a three-foot-sized black falcon spun out. The falcon's eyes lit up, and it spread its wings and flew over the lava lake on the opposite side.
The falcon flew over the magma lake and had a bird's eye view of the ground. The situation underneath is clearly visible. The scene that Ying Falcon saw was all reflected in Ning Tianqi's pupils.
A red treasure flag flutters in the center of the formation, with a red divine bird pattern about a foot in size painted on its surface. This sacred bird has a thin neck, a long tail, sharp claws and a sharp beak, and a golden feather crest on its head, making it look majestic. It's just that the eyes of the divine bird look empty and lifeless.
Suddenly, there was a violent rolling in the magma lake below. A large hand of dark red rock poked out from the magma lake, and then fiercely grabbed the black falcon in the air. After a red shadow passed by, the Black Falcon was already grasped in his palm. The remaining magma slid down from the gap in the palm of his hand. When he opened his palm, only a wisp of remaining flames gradually extinguished, and the black falcon had completely turned into ashes.
Then the big hand slowly sank into the magma lake, leaving only a string of rolling magma bubbles, as if nothing had happened.
"Sure enough, the leader of Guigu Hall was right. There really is a powerful fire attribute creature in the magma lake." Bai Shaojie said.
"This rock monster can actually burn the black falcon made of spiritual power. I am afraid that ordinary magic attacks will also be burned by it. And its hidden spiritual pressure is indeed not under the old dragon in the sea of sand. We must find a way. "After Ning Tianqi finished speaking, he touched his chin with one hand and fell into thought for a moment.
Hearing Ning Tianqi talking about the old dragon, Bai Shaojie couldn't help but use inner vision to look at the little golden dragon in his body.
A child-like clear voice came into Bai Shaojie's mind: "If this dragon is at its peak, how can the stone spirit in the magma lake be compared to me."
"I don't know about the strength. In terms of cunning, this spirit is definitely not as good as you." Bai Shaojie said half-sarcastically. The little golden dragon smiled awkwardly and said, "I, little Jin, will keep my word and will never let down my master." After saying that, the little golden dragon turned into a golden egg and floated quietly in the space of Bai Shaojie's Purple Mansion. Naturally, no one else could hear the conversation between Bai Shaojie and Xiao Jinlong just now.
After a while, Ning Tianqi said: "I just observed that there is a red sacred bird painted on the red treasure flag. As far as I know, there is indeed a similar Xuantian spiritual treasure in the Yudao Sect, called the Suzaku Flag, which must be This thing. However, the sacred bird weapon soul on this flag is no longer there, and the value of this flag has been greatly reduced. At best, it can only be regarded as a top-quality magic weapon. If all this is within the calculation of Yudao Sect, the situation that happened before will be fine. Understood. A top-quality magic weapon is not worth the heavy price paid by the Yudao Sect and the Southern Territory monks."
"Senior brother is right. Just now Ji Wuhen from the Yu Dao Sect easily agreed to let us enter here first. I feel that this matter is a bit strange, but since we are all here, we can't go back empty-handed." Yu Qingcheng said.
"I think the purpose of Yudaomen to open this space is not as simple as this Vermillion Bird Flag. If we go to get this flag now, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle with the rock spirit in front of us. Shaojie is still injured, if we continue If the monks from the Yudao Sect happen to let the four southern monks come in to snatch this thing from us, it will be a big disadvantage for us. It would be better if we just wait here for half an hour. , the Yudao Sect people and the Southern Territory monks haven't entered this place yet, which means they are fighting with each other, so we don't have to worry about the four Southern Territory monks coming in unscathed and snatching this thing from us in half an hour. The four Southern Region monks have also entered this place, so it won't be too late for us to make other plans." Ning Tianqi said.
After hearing this, the other three people nodded and agreed with Ning Tianqi's method.
The moment before, there was a faint fluctuation at the entrance, and then a slender figure appeared. It was Linghu Ying'er who sneaked in first.
Linghu Ying'er was seen making secrets with one hand, her mouth slightly opened, and a stream of light white smoke silently poured out from her mouth. Gradually, his figure was hidden in the mist. When the mist cleared, Linghu Ying'er was nowhere to be seen.
Linghu Ying'er used the hiding technique, and then quietly observed the situation inside. She vaguely saw that the Suzaku flag in the formation on the magma lake had not been taken away. She frowned and felt a little comforted in her heart.
Holding their breath and concentrating, they stared at Ning Tianqi and the four of them intently, and saw Ning Tianqi's move to lure out the rock spirit from a distance.
Half an hour later, another wave of spiritual power came from the entrance. Mudi Youfeng, Rong Ming, and Tuoba Shanyue appeared at the entrance.
Linghu Yinger, who was hiding in the dark, showed up when she saw her companions entering the place safely.
"Brother Madi, you are here." As he said this, he glanced at the three of them and found that Tuoba Shanyue was in a precarious state.
"Tuoba, you are injured." Linghu Ying'er asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Ying'er. I just suffered some minor injuries." Tuoba Shanyue said with a naive smile.
"You are still talking harshly. My nose is so good. How could I not smell that your inner breath is disordered? The soul is probably seriously injured. I have a bottle of "Linghu Soul Renewal Pill" here to treat soul trauma. Take it and take it. That's it." He said, throwing out a small green porcelain bottle.
Tuoba Shanyue stretched out his hand to take the small porcelain bottle and said in an incoherent tone: "Hey, Miss Ying'er has a pretty nose."
"Idiot, take this pill quickly."
Tuoba Shanyue was well aware of the preciousness and magical effects of the Spirit Fox Soul Renewal Pill, so he quickly poured out a white jade-like pill from the green porcelain bottle and took it into his mouth. The pill melted in the mouth, and the fragrant and smooth medicinal power trickled into the meridians. The injured soul suddenly became active and began to repair quickly under the irrigation of this medicinal power.
...
"Miss Ying'er, how is the situation here?" Mu Di Youfeng asked.
"Brother Youfeng, the Vermillion Bird Flag is in the magic circle above the magma lake ahead. However, there is a powerful rock spirit in the magma lake. The monks of Tiangui Sect may be afraid of its strength and did not rush to take the Vermilion Bird Flag." Hu Ying'er replied.
"Among the people from the Tiangui Sect, the one wearing a purple brocade robe is Ning Tianqi, the master of the Fenggui Hall. A few years ago, Ning Tianqi made a big fuss in the Southern Territory. I had a fight with him. You might as well go over and ask. I know." Rong Ming said. Rong Ming naturally concealed the friendship he had with Ning Tianqi. After all, the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory had always been at odds.
"Ning Tianqi not only caused trouble in the Southern Territory, but also abducted the saints of the Feiyu Alliance to become a pair of monks, causing the Feiyu Alliance to lose face. He was also a famous figure. The four of them were not involved in the Yudao Sect just now. It seems that the monks won’t fight us head-on, so there’s no harm in going over and asking,” said Mudi Youfeng.
After saying that, the four of them walked inside.
Ning Tianqi and others also noticed that the four Southern Region monks were approaching them.
"Senior brother, you are really good at predicting things. As expected, these four Southern Region monks were let in by Ji Wuhen." Yu Qingcheng said, her beautiful eyes focused on Ning Tianqi's face.
Not long after, Mudi Youfeng and four other people came closer.
"Several fellow Taoists from the Tiangui Sect are here well. I'm with you, Mu Di Youfeng from the Hundred Beasts Alliance. This must be Hall Master Ning Tianqi from the Tiangui Sect." Mu Di Youfeng said with a fist.
"This is Ning Tianqi." Ning Tianqi replied.
"The few people who did not make trouble for us before, I think there is no need to do anything again at this time. This Suzaku flag was originally a product of the Southern Territory Feather Alliance, and it is natural for us to take it back this time." Mu Di Youyou said the wind.
"This Vermillion Bird Flag is indeed of no importance to the Tiangui Sect. Since you have traveled thousands of miles to come here to collect treasures, I think this Vermilion Bird Flag will be of great benefit to you. But we are useless here. After some setbacks, you can’t just leave empty-handed.”
"Fellow Daoist Tianqi, what do you mean by this?" Mu Di Youfeng changed the topic and his tone was slightly solemn.
"I think this is how it works. There is a rock spirit in the magma lake guarding this flag. We might as well work together to defeat it first and get the flag back. Then each of us will send one person to compete one-on-one, and the winning side will get How about the Suzaku Flag?”
"It seems that Hall Master Ning is going to take action himself?"
"Tian Qi has this intention."
Mudi Youfeng turned around and looked at the people on his side.
"This method is not bad. I had a competition with Hall Master Ning a few years ago, and the two sides ended in a draw. How about I learn Hall Master Ning's clever tricks this time?" Rong Ming said, turning his gaze to Ning Tianqi.
"Tianqi is happy to accompany you." Ning Tianqi said with a smile.
Mu Di Youfeng thought for a moment and realized that it was really not the right time to fight with the people in front of him at this moment. After both sides suffer losses, it will be difficult for the winning side to defeat the rock spirit here after its combat power is damaged. Rong Ming's strength is definitely not inferior to his own, and he should be able to fight with Ning Tianqi on the opposite side. Moreover, the people from the Feiyu Alliance had already been ambushing around Piaoyun Peak according to the prepared strategy. Even if Ning Tianqi wins by chance and gets the Vermillion Bird Flag, it won't be too late to wait for an opportunity to grab it back outside.
So Mu Di Youfeng replied: "Okay! That's it. Let's work together to defeat the rock spirit in front of us first."
