Chapter 616: Red Sky Mysterious Stone
About two hours later, the three of them looked up and could no longer see the crack above their heads.
During these two hours, they would sometimes meet some people who came in to try their luck.
Normally, both parties would look at each other from a distance, then tacitly distance themselves and leave.
Occasionally, some people would have bad intentions when they saw that there were only three of them, but when they got a little closer, they discovered that Qin Ziling was a true immortal, and they would immediately turn around and leave.
"Another big danger in this forbidden area is human greed. Fortunately, we have our benefactor here to scare away those people with ill intentions." Yu Juan couldn't help but sigh as he watched a group of immortals who were clearly walking towards them but quickly turned around and left.
Qin Ziling smiled disapprovingly and walked towards a small hill on the left.
He just didn't want to get involved, so he deliberately released the aura of a first-grade true immortal.
"My benefactor, be careful, don't get close to the five-mile range of the Fire Rock Beast, otherwise it will attack us." Yu Juan, who was expressing her feelings to Qin Ziling, turned around and saw Qin Ziling suddenly leaving them and walking towards the area on their left where a group of Fire Rock Beasts were active. She was startled and shouted hurriedly.
"It's okay. I saw a few flame mulberry trees growing over there. I guess there will be red-flame fire silkworms." Qin Ziling replied.
"No!" Yu Juan and Shi Mian hurriedly caught up with Qin Ziling, and then looked carefully at the small hill in front of them, but apart from seeing more than twenty fire rock beasts, they did not see any fire mulberry trees.
Each of these twenty-odd fire rock beasts exudes a powerful aura of at least a mid-stage Immortal Infant Earth Immortal.
Such a force was extremely powerful for Shi Mian and Yu Juan. If they had not seen any signs of the Red Flame Silkworm, they would definitely not have provoked it.
Moreover, there are many space cracks on that small hill that are twisting and swimming like black snakes, which makes people's scalp tingle.
Qin Ziling didn't explain. He took a step forward and arrived at the foot of the hill.
“Ouch!”
When the Fire Rock Beasts saw someone breaking in, they roared angrily. Some of them spewed long flames like fire dragons towards Qin Ziling. Some of them made a "bang" and cracked the ground. They soared into the sky like a cannonball and pounced on Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling smiled slightly, without making any movement. Within a radius of more than ten miles around him, the extremely hot space suddenly blew with a cold wind, and heavy snow fell.
As the heavy snow fell, everything was frozen.
More than twenty fire rock beasts were frozen inside. Their red bodies quickly dimmed and turned into grayish-white cold stone sculptures. Only Qin Ziling and the other two could walk freely in the frozen world.
"The realm of true immortals!" Shi Mian and Yu Juan showed a trace of awe when they saw this, and hurriedly caught up with Qin Ziling, and then followed him to quickly cross the two small peaks in front.
Then, they looked in disbelief as more than a dozen two-foot-tall flame mulberry trees, which looked like burning balls of flame, emerged from the cracks in the rocks in a small valley behind the mountain.
Although the flame mulberry tree is called a tree, it is actually only one or two feet tall.
Their shape is like a burning flame. In this forbidden area of Fire Abyss where even the sky is red and there are clusters of flames burning everywhere, if you don't look carefully, they can easily be mistaken for flames and missed.
These dozen or so flame mulberry trees were also difficult to distinguish from real flames, and they grew in the cracks of rocks in a small valley behind two small peaks. They simply could not imagine how Qin Ziling discovered them!
"There are red-flame fire silkworms!" Yu Juan soon pointed at one of the flame mulberry trees and exclaimed in surprise.
Sure enough, on the "flame", there were seven fiery red insects shaped like silkworms gnawing at the "flame".
These seven fiery red insects are the Red Flame Fire Silkworms.
Among these seven fiery red insects, only one has a dark red fire ring stripe on its body.
A dark red stripe of fire represents one hundred years.
"This red-flame fire silkworm is of no use to me, so you can take it." Qin Ziling said upon seeing this.
"Thank you very much, benefactor." Yu Juan and Shi Mian expressed their gratitude and then happily took away the Red Flame Silkworm.
This red-flame fire silkworm is nothing to Qin Ziling, and it is considered a small fortune for them.
After leaving here, Shi Mian and Yu Juan continued to lead the way.
Two days passed quickly.
The three of them went deeper and deeper into the forbidden area of the Fire Abyss.
The further in you go, the more dangers there are, and the greater the chance of Red Flame Fire Silkworms appearing. In addition, Qin Ziling has the help of his spirit, so by the second day, Qin Ziling could find traces of Red Flame Fire Silkworms almost every half an incense stick of time.
However, just as Huolong said, Red Flame Fire Silkworms usually spin cocoons after a hundred years. The Red Flame Fire Silkworms Qin Ziling discovered were mostly under a hundred years old, with a few being over a hundred years old or even a thousand years old, but he didn't find even one.
For a fire dragon, it needs to be at least three or four hundred years old to be useful.
After walking for the past two days, Qin Ziling only found one that was 300 years old and one that was 600 years old.
Qin Ziling naturally kept these two for himself, and gave the rest to Shi Mian and Yu Juan.
Shi Mian and his wife followed Qin Ziling and felt like they were picking up fairy stones, picking them up as they walked, and there was no danger at all.
They were filled with joy and even hoped that they could continue on this path forever.
This day is already the third day.
According to Shi Mian and his wife, if they walked for another half day, they should be able to reach the area where they discovered the thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworm.
"What is that?" Qin Ziling, who was walking beside a rushing lava river, suddenly found a stone pillar in the lava river. From time to time, the stone pillar rose and fell with the rapid flow of the lava, revealing a hint of red with a hint of pure blue capital. Like a mainstay, no matter how the lava impacted it, the stone pillar stood firm and was not melted by the lava.
The magma was surging, and the red magma waves were splashing everywhere. The red columnar capital was located in the middle of the magma torrent, appearing and disappearing, and was extremely difficult to be found.
"There's a hint of azure blue in the crimson red. That, that seems to be the legendary Red Sky Mysterious Stone! Yes, it must be the Red Sky Mysterious Stone. At that time, I heard that someone had found the Red Sky Mysterious Stone in the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land, and even went to learn about it in detail." Shi Mian said excitedly.
"Haha, not bad, not bad." Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that.
Immortal weapons are divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, high grade and top grade.
Lower-grade immortal artifacts are relatively easy to obtain, and many earthly immortals in the Immortal Infant realm can get them.
However, mid-grade immortal weapon is more difficult to obtain. It is impossible for an earth immortal in the Immortal Infant realm to own a mid-grade immortal weapon unless he has a chance or a great background. Even a first or second rank true immortal must have some wealth and power to obtain a mid-grade immortal weapon.
And top-grade immortal weapons are even more difficult to obtain.
Not only are the materials extremely precious and rare, but the refining requirements are also extremely high. Under normal circumstances, it requires a high-level True Immortal to personally refine it.
True immortals from the seventh to ninth ranks are also called high-level true immortals.
In the 90 million miles of sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain, the status of True Immortals of the seventh rank and above is so transcendent and noble, how could they easily help others refine magic weapons?
So even as powerful as Zhu Run was, the Golden Flame Stick he used was only a mid-grade immortal weapon.
The magic weapons used by the Purple Nether Palace's master and his wife, as well as Feng Yin and others from the Blood Evil Palace, were only mid-grade immortal artifacts.
Qin Ziling's most commonly used weapons, the Wind-Thunder Mountain Seal, the Immortal Binding Rope, and the Nine-Tripod Fire Crow Sword, are all only mid-grade immortal weapons.
It’s not that Fire Dragon’s weapon-refining skills are not good enough, but that even the best cook cannot cook without the rice.
Qin Ziling did not have the materials to refine a top-grade immortal weapon at hand, but unexpectedly he found the Red Sky Mysterious Stone, which is used to refine a top-grade immortal weapon, in this forbidden land of Fire Abyss.
When Qin Ziling was overjoyed, he had already used his immortal power to manifest a giant icy hand surrounded by rosy light. It fell towards the surging river of magma and immediately grabbed the Chitian Mysterious Stone.
Qin Ziling tried to grab it, but he failed to catch the Red Sky Mysterious Stone.
Qin Ziling was not surprised but delighted, and shouted in a low voice: "Get up!"
“Crash!”
The Chi Tianxuan stone pillar was suddenly pulled out by Qin Ziling's icy hand. It was five meters high and three feet thick.
"Tsk!" Yu Juan and his wife took a deep breath and their eyes widened.
According to legend, someone obtained a Chi Tian Xuan Stone which was only one foot square!
The Chi Tian Xuan stone pillar that Qin Ziling pulled up now was five meters high and three feet thick. It was many times more than what that person got!
"Red Sky Mysterious Stone! Haha, I searched everywhere for it but couldn't find it. Now I got it without any effort!"
Qin Ziling had just pulled up the Chi Tian Xuan stone pillar and was about to move it into the cave world when suddenly a hearty laugh came from behind him.
Ten miles behind Qin Ziling, there was a man riding a one-horned fire rhinoceros and stepping on flames, leading the way. Further away, there were seven other people also riding one-horned fire rhinoceros and stepping on flames, following quickly.
The one-horned fire rhinoceros looks like a rhinoceros, and its body is covered in flames when it flies. It blends well into the environment of the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land and can be easily overlooked if you don't look carefully.
The one who came first was a young woman with a cone-shaped face and wearing bright red clothes. She was actually a third-grade True Immortal.
Among the seven people who followed her from a distance, two were first-grade True Immortals, and the remaining five were either Quasi-True Immortals or Earth Immortals in the late stage of Immortal Infant.
"My benefactor, please leave quickly. They are from the Tianhuo Palace." Upon seeing this, Yu Juan and his wife's faces changed drastically and they stood in front of Qin Ziling.
"Haha! Now that you know we are from the Skyfire Palace, don't even think about escaping!" The voice of the cone-faced woman rang out again. From ten miles away, she raised her hand and three flaming spears appeared in the air, flying towards Qin Ziling and the other two.
"This is not good. Everyone came here just for money. Even if you want the Red Sky Mysterious Stone, there is no need to kill us all!" Qin Ziling raised his hand, and a huge black shield appeared in front of the three people.
This is the Black Dragon Shield that the Fire Dragon helped to refine, a mid-grade protective magic weapon.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
All three flaming spears were blocked by the black dragon shield.
"Hey, you do have some skills." The cone-faced woman stopped five miles away, and the seven people who followed her had already dispersed tacitly, forming an encirclement, trapping Qin Ziling and the other two inside.
"Actually, you didn't have to die. If you have to blame someone, just blame the fact that the Red Sky Mysterious Stone you obtained is too big. If this news gets out, it will probably bring me disaster!" The cone-faced woman looked at Qin Ziling and said, as if she had him in her grasp.
"In that case, there's nothing more to say!" Qin Ziling shrugged helplessly.
"You are quite self-aware, but it's fate and time. You can only blame..." The cone-faced woman sighed with regret when she saw Qin Ziling accept his fate.
"Yes, it's fate!" Qin Ziling sighed lightly.
Before he finished speaking, nine Fire Crow Swords suddenly flew out.
Seven of the swords were directed at the seven men brought by Cone-faced Man, and two of the swords were directed at Cone-faced Man.
In terms of Qi Refining, Qin Ziling's current strength is already that of a powerful fourth-grade True Immortal. When he suddenly attacked, even though the Nine Fire Crow Swords were not equipped with the Nine Cauldron Fire Crow Swords, the power of each sword was terrifyingly great.
The Fire Crow Sword had two flaming wings and was whizzing and flying in all directions at a terrifying speed.
"How is that possible!"
"not good!"
The faces of Cone-Face and others changed drastically when they saw this.
Everyone activated their magic weapons to attack the Fire Crow Sword.
However, the gap in strength between the quasi-true immortals and earthly immortals in the realm of immortal infants and those of fourth-grade true immortals is too great.
As soon as their magic weapons touched the Fire Crow Sword, they fell one after another, but the Fire Crow Sword hardly stopped and pierced through their chests with a whistling sound before they could escape.
The situation of the two first-grade True Immortals is slightly better, but the gap between them and the fourth-grade True Immortals is still huge.
They still had time to use protective magic weapons and body-protecting immortal power.
But it still couldn't stop the fourth-grade True Immortal's determination to kill him.
In just one or two hits, their protective magic weapons and body-protecting immortal energy exploded, and were pierced through the chest by the Fire Crow Sword.
"Please spare my life, Immortal. I have something to say to you..." The cone-faced man was a third-grade True Immortal, so he was quite capable. He danced with his musket like a fire dragon, wrapping around his body and blocking the Fire Crow Sword.
But every time the Fire Crow Sword attacked, the huge and sharp impact force, as well as the power of the flames wrapped within it, penetrated her body, making her feel as if her whole body was not only about to fall apart, but also that there was a raging flame burning within her body, as if it was going to burn her to ashes.
There were seven other men under her command, all of whom were killed in the blink of an eye, which made the cone-faced woman feel extremely frightened and terrified.
"It's fate and time. You can only blame yourself for being greedy and cruel!" A faint voice sounded.
Then the cone-faced woman saw a colorful rope flying towards her and coiling around her. Then she felt powerful binding forces wrapping around her and tightening from all directions. Her immortal power seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and it became very difficult to use it.
This time, the cone-faced woman was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.
Her flame gun was originally unable to block Qin Ziling's Fire Crow Sword, and now her immortal power was entangled and restrained by the invisible force released by the opponent's magic weapon. How could this be possible!
At this moment, the other seven Fire Crow Swords flew back.
The nine Fire Crow Swords merged into one, greatly increasing their power.
"Bang!" Just one click.
The cone-faced woman's musket was shot down, and nine Fire Crow swords pierced through her chest mercilessly.
The cone-faced woman died!
Then a cloud of mist swept past.
Cone-Face, her seven subordinates, and their mounts all disappeared.
All of this may seem a bit complicated to talk about, but in fact it only takes a very short time.
For Shi Mian and his wife, the battle ended just as it had begun.
The two of them looked around and saw that there was no one around from the Skyfire Palace. They couldn't help but shiver violently all over.
They were originally immortals from Dating Mountain. Later, in order to escape the pursuit of the Valley of Broken Souls, they hid in the neighboring Dutian Mountain Blessed Land. Naturally, they knew that Tianhuo Palace was the leader of the three major forces in Dutian Mountain Blessed Land.
The cone-faced woman just now is the second elder of Tianhuo Palace, a third-grade true immortal. She ranks only below the Palace Master and the Great Elder in Tianhuo Palace, and is very powerful.
As a result, he was killed by his benefactor in just a few moves!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have really suspected that it was all an illusion.
"Let's go!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Yes! Benefactor!" The two men shuddered again and nodded in agreement quickly. Their eyes turned towards Qin Ziling with involuntarily deep awe.
Shi Mian and his wife continued to lead the way, and Qin Ziling followed behind.
Along the way, he released his spirit to help scan the surroundings, while at the same time paying attention to check the things on the cone-faced woman and others.
You don’t know until you check. When Qin Ziling checked, he was a little shocked.
My goodness, each of these people has five, six, or even ten storage bags on them.
Obviously, with the cultivation level of the cone-faced woman, she personally led people into the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land, and from the beginning she had the idea of taking the opportunity to kill people and loot.
The outside world is still generally an orderly one. Killing people and looting things outside is ultimately breaking the rules and damaging your reputation.
There will be no such problem if they kill people and loot here, and they can also take the opportunity to easily harvest the Red Flame Silkworms and other opportunities that they have worked so hard to find, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that they set their sights on Qin Ziling, the evil star, but ended up being robbed by Qin Ziling.
"Huh, there are actually ten that are over 500 years old. It really is true that there is strength in numbers. It's a pity that there are no thousand-year-old ones." Qin Ziling flipped through them casually and was delighted to see some high-year-old Red Flame Fire Silkworms.
At the moment, Qin Ziling was not in a hurry to wake up the fire dragon. He was ready to wait until he harvested more red-flame fire silkworms and nourish the fire dragon when he left the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land.
Half a day later.
The three of them came to a volcanic cliff.
Opposite the volcanic cliff is another volcanic cliff.
Between the two cliffs lies a rolling and surging river of lava.
The high cliffs spewed out flames from time to time, and the flames sprayed to the opposite cliff, melting the rocks on the opposite side and turning them into magma, which fell like red waterfalls into the magma river below.
At first glance, one can see dense and intermittent pillars of fire stretching across the long and narrow canyon.
Not only that, the narrow canyons and lava rivers were filled with fire beasts, at least thousands of them, some of which had even reached the level of True Immortals.
In this narrow canyon, above the boiling river of magma, there are many space cracks that swim like black snakes.
This is already the real depths of the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land, and it is extremely dangerous here. As far as the eye can see, there is no one at all.
"My benefactor, do you see that cave across the way? It's very close to the lava river! Last time we walked here, we accidentally ran into the territory of a group of lava beasts and were chased by them. We had no choice but to enter this desperate situation and were beaten by them all the way down.
We were about to be buried in the lava river, but it was our fate that we would not die. A space crack suddenly appeared and sucked away several fire beasts. We took the opportunity to escape, and when we escaped, we happened to see several thousand-year-old red fire silkworms in the cave.
We naturally want to capture him, but there are still fire rock beasts pestering us. There are also fire rock beasts gathering in that place. The time for the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land to close is approaching, so we have no choice but to escape first. "Shi Mian said, lying on the cliff, pointing to the cave under the opposite cliff, close to the magma river, which is difficult to see without careful observation.
There were fire beasts walking between the canyons and above the lava rivers. If one was not careful one would enter the fire beasts' territory, so Shi Mian did not dare to step in easily.
Qin Ziling had sharp eyesight and quickly found the cave in the direction of Shi Mian's finger.
The cave is small and inconspicuous.
But when Qin Ziling looked carefully, he soon discovered that although the entrance to the cave was small, there seemed to be another world inside, with clusters of flame mulberry trees growing there.
If Shi Mian and his wife hadn't happened to come across this kind of place by accident, he would have overlooked it even if he had used his spiritual power to scan it.
After all, the environment in the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land is too complicated, especially here, which greatly interferes with the soul.
But now that it has been discovered, Qin Ziling's soul naturally goes in to check it out.
