On the ancient greenish-bronze sword, Wang Baole, who owned a cave abode, was very satisfied. He looked at his own cave abode with satisfaction. There were eight rooms in the cave abode. Besides the seclusion area, there was a spirit pool in the middle room. The spirit energy turned into spring water, causing the spirit energy in the area to be extremely dense.
Besides that, the other rooms had their own uses. There was a place for planting herbs, rearing spirit beasts, and refining elixirs. What surprised Wang Baole the most was that there was a room with a stone stele in it. This stone stele was synchronized with the mission stone stele on the main island of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. He could accept all missions there.
However, he could only accept them. After the missions were completed, he still had to return to the main island to undergo a test before he could earn battle credits. Even so, Wang Baole was still surprised. This saved him a lot of time on the road.
It could be said that this cave abode could satisfy all the daily needs of a cultivator.
Not to mention the mountain peak where the cave abode was located. After leaving, he could see all around. At the same time, the core of the island's protective array was also in this cave abode.
After looking left and right, Wang Baole chose a room as his living room. After tidying up, he sat down with his legs crossed and started to think about his next plan.
"I have to earn battle credits as soon as possible. At the same time, I have to increase my understanding of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and the ancient greenish-bronze sword …" Wang Baole thought for a while and came to the room where the mission stone stele was located. He lifted his right hand and pressed on the stone stele. Instantly, a large number of missions appeared in his mind.
Wang Baole ignored the missions that rewarded single-digit battle credits. He focused his attention on the missions that rewarded him with fifty battle credits. The missions that rewarded him with more than fifty battle credits were either too demanding or would take a long time to complete. Wang Baole didn't consider them at all.
Just like that, after a round of selection, Wang Baole's eyes flashed and locked onto a mission.
"Kill the Inferno Rat and obtain its fresh beast core. One beast core is worth thirty battle credits!"
There was also an introduction to the Inferno Ardent Beast. It was a ferocious beast that lived in seas of lava. It looked like a rat, and its battle prowess wasn't very high. Most of them were in the Foundation Establishment stage. Only the Beast Kings were comparable to the Core Formation stage.
If the Inferno Inferno Beast was dangerous enough, then even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be able to complete the mission. But in reality, only Core Formation Cultivators could accept the mission. This was because the Inferno Beast almost never left the sea of lava. It simply roamed within the sea of fire.
As for this sea of lava, Foundation Establishment cultivators were simply unable to enter. Once they entered, they would be burned to death within a few dozen breaths of time at most. Only Core Formation cultivators, with the protection of magical techniques, would be able to remain within the sea of lava for a longer period of time.
Therefore, as long as the mission involved the sea of lava, it could only be completed by Core Formation cultivators.
Looking at the mission, Wang Baole pondered for a while. Then, he sent a voice transmission to his only friend in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, Fatso, to inquire about the Inferno Beast. Fatso also passed on all the information he knew to Wang Baole.
After thanking him, Wang Baole looked through the information carefully and gradually narrowed his eyes.
"Although the Inferno Beast's battle prowess isn't high, its speed within the sea of lava is astonishing … At the same time, when a cultivator enters the sea of lava, even if they have protection, they will be eroded by the fire poison. At the same time, the spiritual energy in the sea of lava is restless and cannot be absorbed. Therefore, one cannot waste magical techniques. At the same time, one's speed will be affected by the sea of lava."
After looking through the information, Wang Baole pondered for a while. Then, a look of determination appeared in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately accepted the mission of the Inferno Beast.
After accepting the mission, Wang Baole looked at the sky. It was already dusk outside. According to Fatso's information, the fire poison in the sea of lava was least active at night. Although Foundation Establishment cultivators were still unable to enter, Core Formation cultivators would be able to stay in the sea of lava for a longer period of time.
Therefore, he didn't waste any time. He directly walked out of the cave abode and transformed into a long rainbow that whizzed into the distance. As for Liang Long, who was trapped by the large bell, Wang Baole had already forgotten about him.
After flying out of Green Fire Island, Wang Baole sped through the sea of lava. On one hand, he was observing the movements of the sea of lava to see if he could find the Inferno Beast floating on the surface of the sea of lava. On the other hand, he was also paying attention to the sky. After an hour, the sky had clearly darkened. Wang Baole thought for a while. His body suddenly stopped and he slowly descended into the sea of lava. He didn't rush in recklessly. Instead, he floated there and checked and tested. After confirming that there wouldn't be too much of an impact on him, he slowly sank into the sea of lava.
As he sank in, the world around him suddenly turned dark red, and the sound of burning flames echoed in his ears. At the same time, a scorching sensation enveloped him from all directions.
Fortunately, Wang Baole was not only a Core Formation cultivator, but also a Core Formation cultivator. Therefore, in terms of defense and resistance, he was much stronger than other early stage Core Formation cultivators. After sinking into the lava, he only felt a bit of discomfort, but quickly recovered.
Looking around, he was surrounded by lava. Although it blocked his line of sight, to a Core Formation cultivator, even if he couldn't see, he could still clearly sense the fluctuations around him. It was just that the area was a bit smaller.
As for Wang Baole, when his Core Formation body had given birth to a strand of Spiritual Sense that shocked even Li Xingwen. This Spiritual Sense wasn't obvious before, but in this lava, Wang Baole immediately noticed the difference.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that, even with the lava blocking his line of sight, he didn't need to see anything. His mind was filled with images of his surroundings. As for the range of his Spiritual Sense, it was roughly thirty meters.
If other Core Formation cultivators were to see this, they would definitely be shocked. After all, the range of their Spiritual Sense was only about twenty or thirty meters. This was one of the reasons why the Inferno Rat's Beast core was so valuable.
"Let's try the mosquitoes …." With the image of his surroundings clearly appearing in his mind, Wang Baole immediately summoned ten mosquitoes. Unfortunately, as soon as the mosquitoes appeared, they seemed to be unable to withstand the heat and seemed to be on the verge of melting. Only the gray mosquito was unaffected.
After some testing, Wang Baole discovered that ordinary mosquitoes would only last for about forty breaths of time before dying.
"It's a good thing that I can repeatedly summon those ordinary mosquitoes …." Wang Baole's eyes flashed as he ordered the mosquitoes to spread out. His field of vision instantly increased to about three hundred meters. In a flash, he sped off into the depths of the Sea of Flames in search of the Inferno Rat.
At the same time, every thirty breaths of time, he would summon a batch of mosquitoes to replace the former mosquitoes. This way, his field of vision within three hundred meters would continue to exist.
This kind of field of vision, which exceeded that of other cultivators of the same Stage, allowed Wang Baole to search for the Inferno Rat at an astonishing speed. The only downside was that it consumed too much Spiritual Power. Therefore, after estimating the amount of Spiritual Power he would need and calculating the maximum amount of time he could stay in the Sea of Flames, Wang Baole recalled some of the mosquitoes, leaving only three to assist the gray mosquito. They barely covered the area and began to search.
In this way, two hours passed. When there was less than an hour left for Wang Baole to stay in the Sea of Flames, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. In the gray mosquito's field of vision, he saw a dark red figure flash by. Although it was fast, Wang Baole was still able to see that it was the shape of a mouse.
It was the Inferno Rat!
"Found it!" Wang Baole's eyes shone with delight. Without hesitation, he released all of the mosquitoes, which spread out. Immediately, his field of vision expanded, and he caught sight of an Inferno Rat not too far off in the distance. It was fleeing at top speed.
As if it had sensed danger, the Inferno Rat Beast's speed exploded as it fled.
"Want to run?" Wang Baole's eyes glittered, and he also exploded with speed. At the same time, he controlled all of the mosquitoes to block the Inferno Rat's path. No matter how the Inferno Rat struggled, it was useless. With sufficient field of vision, and with the shocking speed of Wang Baole's Fleshly Body Core Formation, it didn't take long for the Inferno Rat to be disturbed by the mosquitoes. It let out a shriek, and before Wang Baole could even get close, the gray mosquito pierced through its skull. Its body withered up in an instant.
Finally, as Wang Baole neared, he made a grasping motion with his right hand. Immediately, a dark red, crystal-like beast core flew out from the Inferno Rat's body and into Wang Baole's hand.
"Got it!" Wang Baole was delighted. He was just about to examine the beast core when, all of a sudden, Little Missy's urgent voice rang out in his mind.
"Baole, keep going down. I can sense the aura of the mask fragment down below!"
