Under normal circumstances, if one wanted to enter the unknown region of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, one would have to form a team and take it one step at a time.
He passed through many dangerous forbidden areas and forcefully killed his way in.
By the time they went deeper, they were already exhausted and couldn't even protect themselves, so they didn't have the energy to explore other places.
Through the ancient transportation formation, one could be sent directly to the unknown lands of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land, saving a lot of effort.
"No matter what, we wouldn't be able to reach this place even if we had the ability to. Since we're already here, let's explore it properly. Don't act rashly. "
Senior Ma called out to the people in the team to form their own teams and explore the surroundings.
Everyone formed teams of twos and threes with people they were familiar with and carefully explored the area.
The martial artists who came here were all elites of the sects and had rich experience in the Jianghu. None of them were blinded by excitement.
Not long after.
The sounds of intense fighting could be heard. It was a few cultivators who had run into some unknown ferocious beast.
Immediately, many of the stronger members of the team soared into the sky and rushed over to help.
Xiao Chen's gaze swept over, and his Heavenly Insight Divine Eye opened slightly as he took in the situation in the distance.
A few strange Flame Wolves with blazing eyes swayed their tails as they fought with the cultivators on Senior Ma's team.
That was a Three-Tailed Fire Wolf. Its physical body had been cleansed by the dragon flame since it was young, and it was far stronger than its kind in the outside world.
The ones he encountered now seemed to be even more powerful.
Even when the Major Primal Core Venerates worked together, they found it hard to end the battle quickly. Only when a late-stage Major Primal Core expert rushed over did they manage to kill these Three-Tailed Fire Wolves.
"This Three-tailed Fire Wolf's body has been cleansed by the dragon flame, so it can be sold for a high price in the outside world. Especially the three Fire Tails, they are especially precious and can be used to forge fire-type Dao Soldiers. "
After killing the Three-tailed Fire Wolf, everyone revealed joyful expressions as they divided the materials.
After that, they were attacked by many ferocious beasts one after another.
Everyone in the party was cautious, and they weren't too far away from each other. Most of them were scared but not in danger, and no one was hurt.
Xiao Chen and Meng Zhuang were in the same team, and it was rather peaceful. There were no dangerous incidents.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped. He frowned as he sensed a dangerous aura.
Boom!
The ground split open, and a serpent covered in fiery patterns with a horn on its head charged out.
"It's a Flame Jiao Snake! Everyone, be careful!"
Meng Zhuang shouted and leaped into the air, throwing a punch at the Flame Jiao Snake.
His aura surged as he punched out. It was as if a meteor had fallen to the ground with great force.
With a boom, the Flame Jiao Snake was sent flying by Meng Zhuang's punch. When it landed on the ground, it kicked up a cloud of dust.
The people in the team quickly took the opportunity to retreat.
After the Flame Dragon Serpent landed on the ground, it turned its body a few times, flicked its tongue, and pounced over again.
Xiao Chen's eyes were sharp. He found that the place where the snake had just been hit had only a few subtle marks. He couldn't see any injuries.
Xiu!
Lightly pushing off the ground, Xiao Chen roared. The dragon bones in his body creaked as he gathered his strength and punched out.
The dragon tendons carried six Cauldron Force as they surged out. At the same time, a berserk Dragon Might spread out.
Boom!
Dragon Might mixed with Six Cauldron Force and struck the Flame Jiao Snake.
If this punch landed on a regular Major Primal Core Venerate, it would be sufficient to send them flying and shatter their internal organs.
However, this Flame Jiao Snake's defense was startling. The flame patterns on its skin flickered like flowing water.
The Flame Jiao Snake flew around a few times in the air before charging over again.
Xiao Chen shouted coldly, and a faint layer of purple flames covered his entire body. Then, with a flash, he landed on the Flame Jiao Snake's head.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and the Seven Deadly Sins quickly gathered, infused with Great Dao Energy. Then, he stabbed down without hesitation.
"Pu ci!" Blood spurted out. The saber entered the Flame Jiao Snake by three centimeters, but it could not go any deeper.
"Brother Xiao, be careful!"
Just at this moment, Meng Zhuang shouted anxiously.
A strong wind blew by Xiao Chen's ears, and a heatwave surged into the air. The Flame Jiao Snake's tail was like a flaming tornado chopping at him.
Xiao Chen drew his saber back to defend. Then, he ruthlessly swung his saber and clashed with this snake tail, which contained huge force.
"Bang!" The flaming tornado scattered, and the saber light left a long, bloody wound on the snake tail.
Xiao Chen used the force to fly back. Then, he somersaulted a few times in the air and dissipated the force.
When Meng Zhuang saw the situation, his expression relaxed. Then, he worked together with Xiao Chen to deal with this Flame Jiao Snake.
After a long, intense battle, this Flame Jiao Snake finally submitted.
The two were incredibly fatigued. The Flame Jiao Snake's defense and lifeforce were incredibly startling. Fighting it was not easy at all.
Of course, this was also because Xiao Chen had not used his full power.
If Xiao Chen used his full power now, then there would be no need to explore this Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
"Brother Xiao's strength is truly admirable. If I ran into this Flame Jiao Snake alone, my chances of victory would be slim," Meng Zhuang said with lingering fear in his heart.
The Flame Jiao Snake's combat prowess already rivaled that of a peak Major Primal Core cultivator. Furthermore, it was in this Dragon Flame Ancient Land, so its strength was even more terrifying.
Meng Zhuang's words were not humble at all.
Xiao Chen smiled, tacitly agreeing. Then, he called out to the team and started to split up the Flame Jiao Snake's corpse.
As expected, Xiao Chen put in the most effort and obtained the most precious Flame Jiao Snake's king horn.
The exploration proceeded in an orderly manner. This was not the first time Senior Ma's team was on a mission.
Everything was done in an orderly manner. The division of labor was clear, and the harvest was pretty good.
However, everyone knew that this was just a small fight. If it ended like this, the Heavenly Palace would not be able to deal with it. If this ended like this, they would have to find a great fortuitous encounter to activate the ancient transportation formation that activated only once every hundred years.
After most of the day, everyone's mouths were dry. They had exhausted a significant amount of physical strength and energy.
This place drained them even more than the outside world.
When Senior Ma saw the situation, he waved his hand and said, "Let's rest for a while. It is still early; there is no rush."
Everyone was tired, so they drank water and rested, replenishing their energy.
Since coming here, they had not stopped. If they were not fighting, they were exploring the place. If they were not cultivators of the physical body, they would get tired easily.
Xiao Chen remained calm as he drank a mouthful of water and casually looked around. He had not exhausted much energy.
"Where did so many ants come from?"
The resting cultivators suddenly discovered many fiery-red ants crawling out of the cracks in the ground.
These ants were not mutated beasts and did not have much offensive power. However, when they appeared in such a dense group, it was somewhat scary. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
Several people could not bear to watch any longer, so they all made a move. Hence, large swathes of red ants were wiped out.
"Stop!"
Senior Ma shouted. When he saw these red ants, his expression immediately changed drastically. "Oh no! These are underground Fire Ants. They are very resistant to high temperatures. Under normal circumstances, they would not appear at all. They would not be able to endure the high temperature and leave the ground only before the dragon flame erupts. "
"Dragon flame eruption!"
Hearing Senior Ma's words startled everyone. One of the scariest situations in the Dragon Flame Ancient Land was an underground dragon flame eruption.
That scene, in this complicated and harsh environment, was simply hell on earth. The power of an individual.
The strength of an individual appeared extremely insignificant in the eruption of dragon flame.
"The dragon flame erupts. We need to find a place with water to take refuge. Otherwise, we will all die. Quickly, search. "
Senior Ma's expression turned scarily sullen. The others were affected, feeling anxious for some reason as they started searching everywhere.
Dragon flame eruption.
Before coming here, Xiao Chen had obtained information on this. That was a mysterious phenomenon even more terrifying than a volcano eruption. This was because the thing erupting was the Dragon Flame True Flame, which had accumulated for many tens of thousands of years.
The Demonic Flame was known as the Underground Abyss. Wherever the Dragon Flame passed, it would destroy the world.
Even a Cloud Sea Star Venerate would be burned to ashes on the spot if the underground dragon flame sprayed them, leaving nothing behind.
No wonder Senior Ma was so nervous.
Fortunately, Senior Ma was here. How could the others have such experience? If they could not discover the strange movements of the Fire Ants in advance, they would not even know how they died.
At the very least, they knew to find a place with water to take refuge.
"Senior Ma, there is a rather large lake one hundred and fifty kilometers to the north."
At this crucial moment, Xiao Chen could not hide anything. He withdrew his Heavenly Eye and told Senior Ma about the lake he saw.
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "This concerns life and death. Why would I interfere?"
Not wanting to waste time, Senior Ma shouted, "Gather up and follow me."
To these geniuses and outstanding talents, one hundred and fifty kilometers would take no more than a cup of tea to traverse in the outside world.
However, traveling in the depths of this Dragon Flame Ancient Land was extremely arduous. Ancient Dragon Might was everywhere.
This deterred them from flying casually as it drained them greatly. They could only do simple jumps and glides.
The air clearly turned drier. Everyone was covered in sweat, and their throats felt like they were on fire.
No one dared to doubt that the dragon flame would erupt again.
This was already a very clear sign.
"Senior Ma, there is water in front. There really is water."
After one hundred and fifty kilometers, the group indeed saw a rather vast lake.
Senior Ma smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you saved everyone."
Xiahou Feng and Leng Feng looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. There really was water. Even with the two's eyesight, they could not see so far in this place.
They wondered how Xiao Chen saw it.
Xiao Chen showed a calm expression, not revealing anything. He only said some polite words to Senior Ma and did not say anything else. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Everyone flew up and stood in the center of the lake. Then, Senior Ma instructed calmly, "Water-attributed and Ice-attributed cultivators, stand to my left. Wind-attributed cultivators, stand to my right. The rest, stand behind me."
"Someone comprehended the Water Great Dao? Or perhaps a water-attributed Dao Tool? "
Right after Senior Ma spoke, a person stepped forward and pointed to the sword in his hand, indicating that he had a water-attributed Dao Tool.
Senior Ma nodded and said, "Very good. Later, you will lead these water-attributed and ice-attributed cultivators. Wind-attributed cultivators, remember to create strong winds and do your best to scatter the dragon flame. The other cultivators will work together to form the final barrier. "
"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, the world trembled. The people standing on the water could not control their bodies, swaying left and right.
A beam of fiery light soared into the sky in the distance.
Closely following that, one beam, two beams, three beams — countless beams of dragon flame erupted from the ground.
The flames dyed the world like it was the end of the world. The clouds for five thousand kilometers around surged, looking like they were burning through the sky.
Overwhelming heatwaves mixed with berserk Dragon Might swept out in all directions. No matter where one hid, they could not avoid it.
Many of the panicking strong ferocious beasts melted on the spot, leaving only their skeletons.
At the crucial moment, Senior Ma spread out his will of soul and encased everyone. He said, "Attack! Quickly attack! Follow my instructions and get into formation."
