Chapter 662

Guo Shier said, "Don't move. I'm just a guest. If something happens, everyone will be in trouble."

A Handsome Old Man scolded, "Coward, silly child. Ah, forget it, we'll talk about it later." Actually, he didn't dare to mess around. It wasn't that he was afraid of causing trouble, but he was afraid that something powerful would appear. This was not the place to fight. If he was buried underground, he wouldn't be able to get out.

A Handsome Old Man didn't dare to mess around, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to scold people. Scolding people was a very enjoyable thing for him, especially when scolding someone of a higher status than him. It made him feel extremely happy, so he scolded whenever he could. Guo Shier had already become numb from his scolding. Scolding and scolding, one would get used to it.

Although A Handsome Old Man was talking to Guo Shier, he didn't stop. He continued to send out virtual talismans, adding them to the spinning virtual talismans. The rice-grain-sized virtual talismans began to grow after absorbing the fire energy. They became the size of soybeans and continued to absorb the surrounding fire energy.

Guo Shier already understood A Handsome Old Man's intentions. This guy didn't want to let go of any fire energy. He couldn't help but wonder: Is fire energy really so magical?

A Handsome Old Man said, "Fire energy is very useful, especially when it's added to the altar. The power of the natural fire runes will increase greatly. It's like an unsharpened longsword. Even without a sharpened edge, it can still kill. But once it's sharpened, won't it be even more powerful? The fire energy is like sharpening the edge of a longsword. "

"Of course, each type of energy is different and has different uses. It needs to be used according to the need, and you also need to know how to use it. If you don't know how to use it, it's useless no matter how much you collect. In our era, the Evil Spirits were something that many Sacrificial Altar experts fought over. "

Guo Shi 'er asked, "Don't tell me the masters of the Sacrificial Altar don't fight anymore?"

A Handsome Old Man's mouth twitched. "I don't know about others, but look at that Nanqiang Ancestor … a five-level altar master, but he only knows how to dig for ores on the walls. He doesn't understand the importance of evil energy."

Guo Shier said stubbornly, "Maybe he hasn't realized it yet. When you first came in, didn't you dig for ores on the walls as well?"

A Handsome Old Man said angrily, "You little bastard, I didn't think there would be evil energy here!"

Guo Shier asked, "Right, what is evil energy?" He was interested in everything related to the soul.

A Handsome Old Man said, "When too many people die, evil energy will be formed. There were actually many kinds of Soul Devils. The most powerful kind was the Mystic Realm Ancient Battlefield. Countless people died, and then the Mystic Realm was sealed. After tens of thousands of years, an extremely powerful Soul Devil would be formed. However, that thing isn't easy to collect. Once it's successfully collected … "His eyes shone with greed.

"You can use evil energy and some other materials to create a sacrificial artifact that attacks the soul."

Guo Shier sucked in a breath. "That's hard … once the secret realm is sealed, you won't be able to enter without the coordinates."

A Handsome Old Man said, "The Nanqiang Ancestor is here. Right, kid, don't tell anyone." He reminded him that some things should not be shared.

Guo Shier nodded.

The Nanqiang Ancestor flew to Guo Shier's side and smiled. "Ancestor Guo, hehe, what are you doing?"

Guo Shi 'er said with a smile, "To collect some fire energy."

"Fire energy?" The Nanqiang Ancestor was puzzled. What is fire energy? He didn't know that Guo Shier was talking nonsense.

Guo Shier's smile faded and he said seriously, "Yes, this is a secret technique I learned. It has a special use, but it shouldn't be of any use to you."

The Nanqiang Ancestor didn't mind. Professionals all had their own secrets. It was impossible to know everything. That would be annoying. Even if it wasn't annoying, it would be tiring. He said, "I see. Oh, Ancestor Guo, I received information from the Gujin Family. There are two lava caves like this one. This is the small one, and the other is very big. We'll go from here. After you collect the fire energy, we'll find the entrance."

Guo Shier looked at Nan You in the distance and asked, "Will Nan You go too?"

The Nanqiang Ancestor shook his head. "He can't go in with his strength. It's too hot inside. It can melt metal and there's a strange fire energy. The people at the altar will die if they aren't careful."

Guo Shier nodded. "Then let him wait for us here. Or let him go back first."

A Handsome Old Man's soul rippled. The fire energy he's talking about … must be the Fire Energy. Hehe, as I expected, they don't even know about the Fire Energy.

The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "When will you finish collecting … uh, this fire energy?" He said awkwardly.

Guo Shier smiled. "Not more than five minutes. I'll be done soon."

The Nanqiang Ancestor nodded. "Okay, I'll go inform Nan You. We'll go find the other lava lake." Without waiting for Guo Shier's reply, he flew the altar toward Nan You.

A Handsome Old Man popped his head out and said, "Hehe, I think there's a lot of Fire Energy in the other place. We've hit the jackpot!" He was like Guo Shier in this aspect. They were both money-grubbers. This money-grubber referred to a material grubber, not a treasure grubber.

Guo Shier asked, "It's almost done, right?"

The handsome old man nodded and said, "It'll be done in a moment." He made a hand sign and shouted, "Withdraw!" The flying talismans surged over like a tide, quickly forming a funnel shape, the bottom of which was the palm of the handsome old man. A moment later, the illusory talismans flying in the air dissipated.

Guo Shier watched as a crimson bead appeared in A Handsome Old Man's palm.

A Handsome Old Man said, "That's too little. I've only formed one Fire Energy Pearl. After I refine it, it'll shrink by at least half. It won't even be enough to use the Moon Blade once … Ah, it took me so long."

The Nanqiang Ancestor quickly returned. "Follow me," he said. "There seems to be a tunnel in the northwest corner." Guo Shier flew after him. They soon arrived at the northwest corner. The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "You go left, I'll go right. We'll split up and search. Pay attention to the top."

The two split up and began to search.

A few minutes later, the Nanqiang Ancestor shouted, "It's here, come quickly!" His figure had already disappeared into the tunnel.

Guo Shier flew in after him. The tunnel was not big, only about the height of two people. It was a long and narrow crack. A Handsome Old Man said excitedly, "I can already smell the fire energy. It's ten times thicker than in the previous place! Go, go! "

The crack in the tunnel led upwards. If one did not pay attention, they would not be able to see it. Following the crack upwards, they saw a curved tunnel in the blink of an eye. This time, the tunnel did not go upwards, but extended into the distance. After flying for half an hour, Guo Shier estimated that they had traveled at least seven hundred kilometers. Because they were flying underground, they could not travel too fast.

Suddenly, the tunnel began to tilt downwards. A Handsome Old Man shouted, "We're almost there, I can already smell … not just ten times the fire energy, but a hundred times, a thousand times … oh my god, I wonder what kind of place this is. How can there be such a thick fire energy … no, there's also the smell of metal!"

A Handsome Old Man was so excited that he danced around, urging Guo Shier to hurry up.

His eyes lit up, and Guo Shier rushed into a cavern. This space was about the same size as the previous one. It was definitely not as big as the Nanqiang Ancestor had said, and there was not a lava lake below, but a thick layer of reddish-gold air current. This air current was like the surface of water, enveloping the area below.

The handsome old man's expression immediately changed. He pointed downwards and mumbled something that no one knew what he was saying. Guo Shier saw a broken altar not far away. This meant that an altar master had died here.

Guo Shier flew to the Nanqiang Ancestor's side and asked, "Is it here?"

The Nanqiang Ancestor stared at the ground below. After a while, he said, "It's a very dangerous place. I can feel the danger inside, but I don't know what it is …" He seemed hesitant, unsure of what to do.

Guo Shier pointed at the altar above his head. The altar spun above his head, enlarged, and descended. He flew up and said, "Why don't … I go and take a look?"

The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "No, I'll go!"

Without waiting for Guo Shier's reply, the Nanqiang Ancestor rushed in.

A Handsome Old Man's voice was barely audible now. "Wuyaya … this is … this is a f * cking fire lake … no, there's even metal in it. Aiya … I'm rich … there's such a place … my god … I'm going crazy … sigh, this kid's luck is too f * cking good … wuyaya!"

Guo Shier finally understood what he was saying. He couldn't help but ask, "There's metal here?"

A Handsome Old Man excitedly rushed to Guo Shier's side and slapped his thigh. "That's right … you're rich … aiya, I forgot to tell you. That guy … he's going to suffer!"

Guo Shi 'er was startled and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about the Nanqiang ancestor? He's a five-tiered altar master! How could he be in trouble? "

A Handsome Old Man said, "If he doesn't know anything about the fiend, then something must have happened to him."

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "If he knows anything about the fiend … he'll know that I was talking nonsense earlier. That's strange, why don't they know anything about the fiend?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "It's not strange. This world is huge. People learn and pass down different things in different places. It's normal that they don't know anything about the fiend. Before I said anything, you didn't know either, right?"

Guo Shier stared down nervously. He had a good impression of the Nanqiang Ancestor. Although the Nanqiang Ancestor used him a lot, the Nanqiang Ancestor was still a good person. He cared about Chu Li a lot of things. Because of this, Chu Li wouldn't let the Nanqiang Ancestor fall into danger. He asked, "What should we do?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "We wait. When he can't hold on any longer, he'll definitely come out. The fiend's invasion is very powerful. If he doesn't know how to defend against it, hmph, he'll be in trouble. "

It was indeed troublesome. The fiend and metal fiend combined would be a tragedy for the Nanqiang Ancestor. He charged into the fiend, and the entire altar's movement slowed down. The fiend began to invade his altar's defenses, and the metal fiend was caught in the middle. For a moment, the altar felt incredibly heavy. Fortunately, he was a five-tiered altar master. His strength was strong, and he could resist it. After a moment of hesitation, he controlled the altar and rushed down.

In just a few minutes, he had crossed the Evil Sea formed by the Fire Fiend and the Gold Fiend. He could see the magma lake below him. The lava lake here was different from the one he'd seen before. It was like boiling water, churning and roaring. Lava shot dozens of meters into the air from time to time before crashing down.

The Nanqiang patriarch's eyes were sharp, and he could see many precious metals being brought out by the lava. In some places, they had piled up into islands. All of them were rare metals that had been eroded by the lava for many years, forming something similar to refined metal. They covered the entire lava lake, sparkling like stars in the sky.

Suddenly, the altar's defensive barrier emitted cracking sounds. The Southern Qiang patriarch abruptly discovered that a layer of crimson light had appeared on his defensive barrier, mixed with traces of gold. The light was slowly corroding the barrier. His expression changed, and he took out a sacrificial treasure. It was a jade-colored bottle with a square body and countless ripples on its surface. He shouted, "Activate!"

Countless water threads flew out and pounced at the barrier. With a sizzling sound, the Nanqiang Ancestor's expression changed. He exclaimed, "What's this? It can actually melt my Water Essence Soul! "

He used several methods, but none of them could get rid of the red light. The Nanqiang Ancestor knew he was in trouble. More and more red light gathered, slowly wearing away at the altar's defenses. He hurriedly put up two more layers of defense. With a crisp cracking sound, the altar's first layer of defense was completely shattered.
