Chapter 65 Treasure Hunt
"Let me test the strength of this rock spirit first." Gui Gufeng, a red-haired man, said loudly.
"That's fine, Hall Master Guigu practices fire-attribute skills, and his understanding of the power of flames is incomparable to me. Please ask Master Guigu to take the lead." Ning Tianqi said as he moved toward Gui Gufeng nodded in agreement, and the others naturally had no objections.
Gui Gufeng secretly used the magic technique, and his body surface flashed with red fire, and his tall figure turned into a red shadow and disappeared in place. The next moment, Gui Gufeng's body was in mid-air at the edge of the magma lake.
The red magma in the magma lake rolled violently, and strings of magma bubbles continued to gush out. Suddenly, a rock giant more than three feet tall jumped out of the magma lake, like a giant whale rising out of the water, setting off a red heat wave, and the surrounding void suddenly became extremely hot. The rock giant was covered in iron and blue, with circles of red spiritual patterns flashing from time to time on its body. Its two walnut-sized eyes were deeply embedded in its head, which was the size of a millstone, which looked extremely disproportionate.
Strangely, the rock giant's feet stepped on the liquid surface of the magma lake as if they were stepping on flat ground, and they blended together steadily.
Gui Gufeng was well prepared, and the figure hovering in mid-air quickly retreated backwards, always maintaining a certain distance from the Rock Spirit Giant. He was wearing a fiery red dress that was blown by the heat wave, and his long fiery red hair was so flowing, adding a bit of chicness to his already handsome face.
Gui Gufeng turned one hand, and a bright red jade flute appeared in his hand. The jade flute turned, and one end was placed lightly on his lips.
He breathed out from his mouth, and as the fingers holding the flute rhythmically lifted and pressed on the sound hole of the jade flute, a string of ghostly flute sounds came out melodiously.
"Xiaoyu flies into flames!"
The originally beautiful and soothing flute sound transformed into countless egg-sized red fire balls out of thin air, and more and more fire balls jumped up and down with the rhythm of the flute sound. After a moment, countless fire notes covered a large space around Gui Gufeng.
Suddenly, the sound of the flute changed from slow to fast, and dense fire bombs in the sky swarmed towards the rock spirit below.
The rock spirit giant below raised two huge palms and pushed hard towards the incoming fire bomb.
The moment the flame bombs came into contact with the huge palm of the rock spirit, numerous flame bombs exploded one after another, making a series of rumbling explosions.
In the burst of fire, a string of strange black runes appeared on the palm of the rock spirit giant, and a large black flame quickly ignited on the palm of the rock spirit giant. This black flame exudes a disgusting aura.
As soon as the two flames came into contact, the black flame actually used the red flame as fuel to burn, and the black flame burned more and more vigorously.
The fierce offensive launched by Gui Gufeng was instantly wiped out.
Occasionally, a few fire bombs missed the blockage of the giant rock spirit's hand and hit the shoulders of the giant rock spirit, only to explode a few rock fragments. But then some magma flowed out of the damaged area, and then it solidified, and the surface of the wound returned to normal.
Ning Tianqi, who had been watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but look solemn when he saw the black flames.
Seeing this, Gui Gufeng no longer continued to attack, but moved his body and shot back.
The rock spirit giant turned around and swept in the direction of everyone. He did not continue to pursue, but quietly observed the movements of the group of people.
"It seems that the attack range of this rock spirit giant is only around the magma lake." Madidi Youfeng said.
At this time, Ning Tianqi's mind was full of thoughts. The black flame emitted by the Rock Spirit Giant when he blocked Gui Gufeng's attack just now was clearly an extremely domineering demonic flame. This space was originally created by the seniors in the Yu Dao Sect, so how could such an evil thing exist. This rock spirit giant seems to have low intelligence, and it seems that it can only attack a limited space near the magma lake.
Thinking of this, Ning Tianqi said: "I'm afraid this object is not an ordinary rock spirit at all. Its attack range is limited and its spiritual intelligence is not high. The Yu Dao Sect is good at making and using armored puppets. This object should be a demon covered in flames. But beware of the black demonic flames it emits, as they contain the terrifying power of the flames."
"From what Fellow Daoist Tianqi said, it is true. Moreover, it recovers from injuries very quickly. If you want to defeat it quickly, you need everyone to attack together." Mu Di Youfeng said.
"The defense of this rock spirit puppet is amazing. We don't need to completely destroy it. We just need to restrict its mobility and take the Vermillion Bird Flag. If I'm not wrong, its weak point is its eyes. Just wait. You can perform a feint attack first, and then I will destroy both of his eyes when he reveals his flaws." Ning Tianqi said.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in approval.
"Let us, the Beast Alliance, take the lead this time." Rong Ming said without showing any signs of weakness.
Mu Di Youfeng and Rong Ming glanced at each other, and then their bodies moved and their bodies were already above the magma lake.
"Wolf Claws attack!"
“Giant Fist!
Rong Ming and Mu Di Youfeng launched secret attack attacks at the same time. The whistling wolf claws were extremely sharp, the tearing void made a chirping sound, and the huge fist shadow struck straight down like a mountain-shaking hammer. Two powerful and heavy attacks arrived in front of the Rock Spirit Puppet in the blink of an eye.
I saw the huge arms of the Rock Spirit Puppet swung upwards to meet the two forces of wolf claws and giant fists.
At this moment, Ning Tianqi narrowed his eyes and threw the ghost sword "Split the Sky" in front of him. The ghost sword "Splitting the Sky" instantly turned into a size of about ten feet, and bursts of frightening black light emitted from the whole body. Immediately afterwards, the whole person turned into a phantom and disappeared into the ghost sword.
The ghost sword "Split the Sky", which merged with the human sword, buzzed, leaving only a black line in the air, and it arrived in front of the huge head of the Rock Spirit Puppet.
A black magic flame spurted out from the eyes of the rock spirit puppet and instantly wrapped around the ghost knife. The ghost sword's blade flashed with black light, and a black ghost eagle formed. The black magic fire was really powerful, and the black ghost eagle burned instantly. However, the ghost sword rushed out of the burning black flames like a golden cicada escaping its shell, leaving only the crackling ghost eagle burned by the black flames. The next moment, the ghost knife cut through the center of the Rock Spirit Puppet's eyebrows, sparks flying, leaving a deep knife mark. The eyes that were originally embedded deep in the eye sockets exploded with a "bang", and then two masses of black mist were released.
The huge body of the Rock Spirit Puppet trembled slightly, and a spiritual pressure that seemed to exceed the Soul Realm exploded from its body. Its two huge arms swung wildly around, and the magma under its feet was lifted up in large areas. The red magma rained down like raindrops all over the sky, falling to the ground with a hissing sound.
At this time, the ghost sword turned around in mid-air and slashed towards the magic circle in the air.
The Vermilion Bird Flag on the magic circle was shining brightly, and bursts of red clouds were floating away. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of golden light threads were sprayed from the magic circle, weaving into an airtight golden light shield to block the incoming ghost knife.
The dark ghost sword paused, splashing traces of black spiritual pressure on the golden light shield. For a moment, a crack appeared in the golden light shield, and then it turned into stars all over the sky, collapsing and dispersing.
With a loud bang, the magic circle above the magma lake exploded, and the huge force of the shock bounced the ghost knife back through the sky. The explosion of the formation produced a huge wind that swept across the entire magma lake. After the strong wind passed, several tall formation stone pillars around the magma lake broke and fell to the ground.
Rong Ming and Mu Di Youfeng in mid-air were also affected by this power. He hurriedly used his body skills to shoot back in the direction he came from.
"Golden Branches Explore the Clouds!"
Hearing Yu Qingcheng's scream, the golden branch about a foot long in his hand transformed into a huge golden dead branch and went upstream against the shock wave of the explosion of the magic circle. The cracks on the surface of the golden dead branches emitted traces of blood-colored runes, dispersing the incoming impact.
The moment the golden dead branch approached the Suzaku Flag, the front end of the dead branch twisted, and a golden ghost hand with ten fingers appeared, grabbing the Suzaku Flag firmly, and then pulled it back.
After a while, Yu Qingcheng had a red flag about the size of a foot in his hand. Then he took advantage of the situation and turned over backwards, retreating several feet away. After several more leaps, Yu Qingcheng stood firm in the aftermath of the formation explosion just now.
Several other people also used their own methods to quickly retreat to a safe distance.
A black shadow flashed, and Ning Tianqi came to Yu Qingcheng's side. Two more figures flashed. Gui Gufeng and Bai Shaojie also stood behind Yu Qingcheng.
"Brother, I got the Vermillion Bird Flag." The joy of a child after getting candy filled Yu Qingcheng's beautiful face.
With that said, Yu Qingcheng handed the Vermillion Bird Flag into Ning Tianqi's hands.
Ning Tianqi took the Suzaku flag, smiled at Yu Qingcheng, and said, "Junior sister, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Yu Qingcheng shyly covered her cheeks with her hands and said angrily: "We are all a family, why should we be so polite."
After a short communication, Ning Tianqi, Yu Qingcheng, Gui Gufeng, Bai Shaojie, Mu Di Youfeng, Rong Ming, Tuoba Shanyue, and Linghu Yinger quickly exited the magma lake space. As everyone left, the Rock Spirit Puppet gradually sank to the bottom of the magma lake and disappeared.
...
On a dune in the sea of sand, two people stood facing each other.
One of them was wearing a dark purple brocade attire, and his angular face looked heroic and capable. The other person's stern face had a pair of green eyes that revealed strangeness and determination, and a silver-backed gray wolf about ten feet tall stood beside him.
It was Ning Tianqi and Rong Ming who were preparing to conduct a one-on-one competition and decide who would own the "Suzaku Flag".
The two looked at each other, their eyes showing the fighting spirit of an opponent and the respect of a hero.
Without words, the two of them took action almost at the same time.
Rong Ming put his hands together to form a strange handprint. The next moment, the gray wolf beside him flashed and turned into a shadow and disappeared into Rong Ming's body.
Looking at Rong Ming again, there was a banging sound in the bones of his body, and his body expanded to the size of a circle. To the naked eye, a dense layer of silver wolf hair can be seen gradually covering its body surface, making it look like a werewolf. Rong Ming's own spiritual pressure also skyrocketed rapidly, seemingly exceeding the definition of the Soul Realm.
Ning Tianqi, who was opposite him, raised one hand and threw out a long, narrow, dark wooden coffin. The black wooden coffin gurgled with the power of the netherworld, and black ghostly auras wrapped around the wooden coffin, lingering for a long time.
The next moment, the coffin turned into two feet in size in the wind. There was a soft "click" sound, and the huge lid of the wooden coffin moved downwards, revealing the contents inside the wooden coffin.
