"Legend has it that there are a total of 16 levels in the Flaming Pit. The lowest level is where the 'Flame Core' that has evolved since the Primordial Age is located. That is a place that even some of the Sect Leaders and Sect Leaders dare not approach. It is extremely dangerous!"
"En, I understand. We understand most of the things. Let's hurry down." A few impatient disciples in the group couldn't wait any longer.
"Although you might think that I'm long-winded, I still have to kindly remind everyone … …"
Duan Xiong's smiling face revealed a rare serious expression. "Although the deeper you go into the Flame Pit, the more treasures there are, the greater the danger that comes with them. The treasures are good, but not everyone has the life to obtain them! Thus, everyone must choose according to your own strength. Don't enter a level that is beyond your ability … … You have to know that there are many people who are burned to death by pure flame spirit fire in the Flame Pit every year! "
Duan Xiong did not waste any more words after the solemn introduction of the High Tier experts. With a wave of his hand, he led the group into the Flame Pit one after another. Chu Chen grinned and did not hesitate to follow the group into the pit.
The moment they stepped into the Flame Pit, they instantly felt a wave of scorching heat. The inside of the Flame Pit was like the belly of a huge volcano.
In the middle was a bottomless pit. The pit was surrounded by dark red ancient stone steps.
Part of the stone steps spiraled down into the pit below, while the other part led to layers of fire pits in all directions. The small world looked very grand and magnificent.
It was unknown who had built these stone steps, but they looked very ancient. The dark red steps were full of traces of time. Some parts even had large and small cracks. From time to time, one could see red flames spurting out from those cracks, bringing with them waves of blazing foehn wind.
The little hamster was right. The deeper they went into the Flame Pit, the denser the fiery aura in the air. Even with the effect of the "Fiend Suppression Talisman", many mounts still had some adverse reactions.
A layer of faint red light appeared in the depths of the eyes of those mounts of lower quality, and their spirits started to wither.
"Hehe … … Young man, where did you buy this donkey from? I feel that this black donkey of yours is very congenial to me. How about selling it to me? "
Along the way, the black-clothed old man kept walking beside Chu Chen. With a smile on his face, he kept trying to persuade him to sell it.
"Old man, don't waste your energy." Chu Chen shook his head helplessly, "I won't sell Wangcai. Besides, I don't lack those 5,000 contribution points."
"Yes, if Wangcai sells it, where should I sit? We can't possibly let him walk into the Inferno Pit! " Zhou Mei had been sitting behind Chu Chen the entire time. When she heard his words, she also poked her head out to look at the black-clothed old man.
"Hehe, if you really want to sell it, then the price is naturally not a problem. As a businessman, the price is easy to negotiate." The old man chuckled.
"I say, Old Sir, there are so many top-grade mounts here. There are even single-horned golden-scaled beasts with the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Qilin. Why did you take a fancy to this skinny black donkey?"
Chu Chen looked at the black-clothed old man with interest. Could it be that this old man had discovered Wangcai's true identity as the Gluttonous Flood Dragon? If that was the case, then this old man was truly unfathomable … … At the very least, just his eyesight alone was not something that others could have.
"This … … There are indeed many good mounts. However, this black donkey's temperament is to my liking. Although it looks weak, its personality is arrogant, vicious, and domineering."
Duan Xiong's face was beaming. As he spoke, he extended his hand to pat the black donkey's head.
"Ah ha … … Choo!"
After hearing the black-clothed old man's words, Wangcai tilted its head and dodged his hand. At the same time, it loudly snorted. Its large donkey eyes glanced at the old man with disdain. It had an arrogant look that said, "Don't even think about touching me."
"Hehe … … Looks like Wangcai really doesn't like you. You should give up on that thought." Chu Chen's lips curled up.
"Heh … … It will definitely like me in the future." The black-clothed old man shook his head and laughed.
The Flaming Pit Secret Realm was extremely vast. Every level of the small world was so large that one couldn't see the end of it.
Duan Xiong led the group up the ancient stone steps and walked down steadily. It had to be said that this old man was indeed very familiar with the Flaming Pit Secret Realm.
He knew which stone steps were safe, which stone steps were dangerous, and which stone steps led to certain death.
According to him, these stone steps that led to the depths of the Flaming Pit were built by an ancient god. It was for the future generations to have a chance to get close to the 'Flame Core' in the deepest part of the Flaming Pit and comprehend the supreme dao of fire within it.
However, after countless years, these stone steps were filled with danger. If it was a newcomer who came here for the first time, it would be very easy for them to fall into a hopeless situation.
When the group safely went down two levels and began to enter the third level of the Flaming Pit, the fiery aura in the air was extremely dense. It could even be seen that in the air, there were waves of faint black and red air currents floating around.
These air currents were condensed fiery poison. Once a mount touched it, it would completely lose its consciousness and become a puppet zombie.
At this time, the effect of the "Fiend Suppression Talisman" provided by Duan Xiong had also reached its limit. Many of the mounts' eyes were already very red. Some of the mounts even collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up at all. Only a few high quality mounts could still stand and walk normally.
Among them was Chu Chen and Zhou Mei's mount, Wang Cai. This black donkey had been listless ever since it ate a meal of the Poison Horned Lizard.
It was like this outside the Flaming Pit, and it was the same in the first, second, and third levels of the Flaming Pit. It was impossible to tell whether it was affected or not.
The other most handsome mount, the Horned Golden Scaled Beast, was also full of energy. Its golden eyes were bright and full of spirit. It looked like it was not affected at all.
The Qilin was an auspicious beast in ancient legends. It had an auspicious aura. Therefore, it was the most resistant to fiery aura, evil aura, and demonic aura. The Horned Golden Scaled Beast had a trace of the Qilin bloodline, so it naturally inherited this characteristic.
"Old man, didn't you say that your Fiend Suppression Talisman was useful? How come my Blood Fanged Tiger can't stand it when we've only reached the third level? "
