There were always highs and lows in life. Junior Leopard felt that he was at the high point now.
In the deep passageway of the underground fire vein, Junior Leopard only needed to tiptoe slightly and his body would move forward several feet like a withered leaf. There was not a trace of smoke or fire. The Internal Qi in his body flowed freely without any hindrance. Every inch of his bones was as smooth as jade. His whole body seemed to have endless energy. After experiencing the pain like purgatory, he finally came to heaven.
After successfully suppressing the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian and completely controlling the Internal Qi in his body, his strength had made a qualitative leap. However, his spirit was exhausted to the extreme. He didn't pay much attention to it and directly regulated his breathing in the passageway for a while. Then, he fell into a deep sleep until he was awakened by a violent vibration.
"Earthquake?!" This was Junior Leopard's first thought at that time. But soon, he ruled out this possibility. If it was really an earthquake, he wouldn't be alive now. This place was located in the underground fire vein. Even if it was just a little earthquake, it could lift up the underground rock flows. In that case, even if Junior Leopard practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique or the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, he would only be dead.
Moreover, the vibration came in waves. First, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Then, there was silence, as if nothing had happened.
After being awakened by the vibration, he didn't know how long he had slept. After thinking for a while, he returned to the main passageway along the original path and continued to move forward with Lightness Skill.
This was the time when his cultivation had just improved and his spirit was at its peak. Therefore, he was full of confidence and his speed was naturally much faster than before. After running like this for about four to six hours, he only felt that the color of the surrounding walls of the passageway was getting darker and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Soon, he met the first person to fall down.
"This overconfident idiot!"
Seeing that person lying there, Junior Leopard hurried forward and checked his breath. The person had disappeared and the body was already stiff.
Looking at his condition, he should be unable to bear the temperature ahead. So, he retreated from the team and wanted to go back along the original path. But when he reached here, he couldn't hold on anymore.
"There's fire poison here!" Feeling the wisps of Evil Qi in the surrounding airflow, Junior Leopard frowned slightly.
The so-called fire poison was a fire-elemental baleful aura. However, the amount of this baleful aura was too small. It drifted in the air and could not be used. Furthermore, it was extremely harmful to the human body. That was why it was called fire poison.
Since it was the first person who fell, naturally there would be the second one. Junior Leopard didn't care much when he saw the first person die. He thought that when he came back, he would bring their bodies out. At least they would have a clear burial ground. So he walked forward. After walking for hundreds of feet, he found the second batch of corpses. Yes, the second batch. This time it was not just one person, but five people. Just like the previous one, they couldn't stand the high temperature here. After walking back, they were poisoned by fire and died.
After encountering a few more groups of corpses, he finally saw a living person, and a familiar one at that.
"Senior Brothers, what's wrong?"
He saw Jin Nanqing sitting cross-legged on the ground. His whole body was sweating, and he was working hard to circulate his Qi to resist the surrounding fire poison. As for the other Wu's disciples, they were lying on the ground, dying.
Seeing Junior Leopard appear, Jin Nanqing, who was circulating his Qi, finally revealed a trace of joy on his face.
"Junior Leopard, quickly, quickly, quickly get us out of here. The fire poison here is too strong —!"
Junior Leopard didn't dare to delay any longer. He carried these unlucky senior brothers on his back like a human pyramid. Exerting his full strength, he rushed out.
This was another mad dash.
These few people's weight added up to almost 500 kilograms. If Junior Leopard hadn't just made a breakthrough, after carrying them on his back and running at his current speed, he would definitely lie down. Even though he wouldn't lie down now, it was still very strenuous.
"Okay, let's stop here. Put us down!" After running for about five or six miles, Jin Nanqing, who was on his back, suddenly said, "There's no more fire poison in this area. Put us down!"
Junior Leopard was still a little worried. He carried them on his back for another one or two miles before he put them all down.
"Senior Brother, what's going on?"
"Alas, what else could it be? We overestimated ourselves!" Jin Nanqing sighed, "In this underground fire vein, the deeper we go, the higher the temperature is. Moreover, there's the Evil Qi of Fire. The deeper we go, the stronger the fire poison is. We, the people in the Military Camp, didn't realize it until we were poisoned. We wanted to go back, but it was too late. Fortunately, we all practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, so our resistance to the fire poison is stronger than others. Otherwise, we would have already become corpses by the roadside, just like those people."
Hearing this, Junior Leopard also sighed. It was not strange that there was danger in the underground fire vein. High temperature and fire poison were also expected. It was just that everyone had the mentality of a fluke and had been following them all the way. That's all.
"So, even if we don't follow them down, we'll be fine?" Junior Leopard suddenly asked.
"Those who can go down and get benefits have all gone down!" Jin Nanqing said with a wry smile, "Those who can't go down have almost died on the road. However, in my opinion, there won't be more than five people in the Military Camp who can go straight to the fire vein!"
Saying this, he glanced at Junior Leopard again, "Junior Brother, your strength is there. The fire poison shouldn't have much effect on you. Are you really not going down?"
Before his voice died away, the ground shook again. Faintly, there were several roars and shouts coming from the bottom of the cave.
"This is …!" Junior Leopard's expression changed. He seemed to understand something. This was not an earthquake. It was obviously the aftermath of the fight between peerless experts in the fire vein!
"Senior Brother Jin, please take care of the other senior brothers. I'll go down and have a look!"
"Well, Junior Brother, be careful. It's certainly a good thing to get some benefits, but if the situation is not right, don't force it!" Jin Nanqing exhorted.
"I understand!" Junior Leopard nodded and replied.
In fact, at this time, they were not far from the geocentric fire vein. After using Lightness Skill and rushing forward for one hour, they finally reached the end of the passageway. There was a dazzling red light at the end of the passageway. Looking from afar, it seemed to be an exit. With each step closer, the temperature around them increased several times. When they were about 100 feet away from the entrance of the cave, the surrounding air had already been evaporated, forming pieces of twisted air. It was as if they were immersed in boiling water.
This kind of temperature would cause great harm to others, but it didn't affect Junior Leopard much. When approaching the entrance of the cave, Junior Leopard ran the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. His whole body rubbed against the wall of the passageway, and he quickly sneaked down to the bottom of the cave.
"Hahahaha! Wang She, Chief Wang, don't resist stubbornly. I admit that your strength is above mine, but in this geocentric fire vein, you have no chance of winning at all! "Before he sneaked a few steps, he heard the scolding and roaring from the depths of the cave. Sneaking to the entrance of the cave, Junior Leopard crouched on a big stone.
Looking inside, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Outside the cave was a large empty space. The bottom of the cave was hundreds of feet high, and a hundred feet wide geocentric rock flow was gurgling in the cave, flashing golden red light and emitting scorching heat. The whole space was like a lake formed by the geocentric rock flow. In the lake, there were dozens of islands that were not eroded by the rock flow. Wang She and the others were standing on one of the larger red land that had not been eroded by the magma.
At first glance, Junior Leopard knew that the group of people from the Military Camp who followed Wang She, including Camp Supervisor Zhao Ting, had been completely annihilated.
The reason why these people could reach this place was because of their extraordinary cultivation and strong bodies. But now, except for Wang She, all of them had fainted on the ground. They were very close to the flowing rock flow, and even half of their bodies had been drawn into the rock flow, eroded by the high temperature of the rock flow.
The others who had not been drawn into the rock flow were not in good condition either. Their skin had already been scalded by the hot airflow, and their faces were twisted in pain. Even though they were in a coma, they seemed to be in great pain.
Wang She's situation was not optimistic either. Most of his cyan clothes had been torn, and his neatly combed hair was scattered. His left sleeve had disappeared, and there was an extremely deep wound on his naked arm. His skin and flesh were turned out, and the blood had long been dried by the surrounding hot airflow. He looked somewhat hideous.
However, even though the situation seemed to be very unfavorable for him, his expression was still as indifferent as a ship. The small fan in his right hand had already been opened, and he gently shook his head. His eyes were firmly locked on a person in front of him, and a faint cold light could be seen in the bottom of his eyes.
"Is this guy Prince Xiaoming? The youngest Venerable in Flame Worship Xuandu! "
Junior Leopard also saw the man who was confronting Wang She. He was wearing a bright red robe, and under the cover of the rock flow, it was shining brightly. He was about 20 years old, and had delicate features, like a delicate and pretty girl. His whole body emitted a kind of delicate feeling that only women had. However, Junior Leopard did not think that this guy was as delicate as he looked on the surface. Looking at Wang She's embarrassed appearance, and then looking at his relaxed state, it was obvious who had the upper hand.
"Are you sure that you can defeat me today?" Wang She's eyes were firmly locked on Prince Xiaoming, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a trace of an ugly smile.
"At other times, at other places, I wouldn't be able to defeat you. But today, you don't have the capital to compete with me. Wang She, don't use your fan anymore. Your Jade Original Power Gang Spirit has been broken by my Ignis Mysterious Gang. Even if you use your fan again, you won't be able to use any more treasures!" Wang She said coldly.
Junior Leopard was depressed after hearing that. The Jade Original Power Gang Spirit had been broken again. This was the second time that he had seen the Jade Original Power Gang being broken. The Jade Original Power Gang Spirit could be considered as one of the few unique skills in the world, but why was it always broken? Was there any flaw? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have practiced the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit.
"The Jade Original Power Gang Spirit has indeed been broken by you. But you used your Level Nine cultivation to break my Level Eight Gang Spirit. There is nothing to be proud of!" Wang She closed his fan and said softly, "I really didn't expect that in just a few days, your cultivation would be raised to Level Nine!"
Level Nine?!!
Junior Leopard who was hiding at the entrance of the cave was shocked. Level Nine!
