Flaming Mountain was surrounded by towering mountains. The mountains on the west side were especially tall, one after another. It was hard to even find a path into the mountains.
Even so, there were still people walking in twos and threes, climbing along the steep rocks and crossing mountain ridges, trying to find lone fire beasts.
Qin Di entered the mountain alone empty-handed.
Although he was less than two thousand miles away from the Flaming Mountain, the surrounding temperature did not increase significantly. He wondered if it was because the Flaming Mountain was sealed by an immortal formation.
There were large patches of fire pines growing on the mountains. They looked like ordinary pine trees, but they were crimson in color and the pine needles seemed to be cast from red copper.
Below the fire pines were some purple-red shrubs, unknown names.
Some of the shrubs were filled with grape-like fruits. They were as dazzling as amethysts, sparkling and translucent, and very attractive. Qin Di plucked one and put it in her mouth. Although it didn't taste sweet, it had a kind of warmth and spiciness of fire spiritual energy. For a fire elementalist, it could be considered a little beneficial.
Fire chickens and rabbits jumped out of the bushes from time to time, and then quickly disappeared.
Qin Di continued forward, gradually going deeper into the mountains.
Gradually, there were more and more low-level fire beasts, and mid-level fire wolves and fire bulls began to appear.
Qin Di hunted a fire bull, took out the grill, and roasted a piece of beef to taste. When he ate it, there was a warm feeling all over his body, and the fire elemental plasma in his dantian began to slowly increase. He roughly estimated that if he ate a fire bull, he could increase his fire elemental plasma by about three liters, which was not a small gain.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if it was only three liters, he could still accumulate enough fire elemental plasma to reach the level of Jindan after hunting every day for a long time.
But Qin Di did not come for this. He just wanted to see the giant fire vein and increase his knowledge.
After crossing five mountains in a row, he began to see sixth-grade fire tigers and seventh-grade fire lions.
After killing six or seven fire tigers and three fire lions in a row, he sat on a bare mountain top and stopped to rest for a while.
He knew that if he went any further, he might encounter a rank eight fire elephant or even a rank nine fire dragon.
For him, the seventh-stage fire lion was easy to deal with; the eighth-stage fire elephant was equivalent to the Middle-stage of Jindan, and the difficulty began to increase; if he encountered a ninth-stage fire dragon, it was really hard to say whether he could escape unscathed.
Even though he had killed a Nascent Soul on his own before, that was in the Death Sea with the help of countless Yin Soul fragments before he finally managed to take it down. They were in the vicinity of Flame Mountain, and they were facing a Tier 9 Fire Dragon. Generally speaking, when a demonic beast reached the ninth rank, although its realm was equivalent to a human's late-stage Gold Core, its power was no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Qin Di didn't want to risk his life to fight. He just wanted to sneak into the Flaming Mountain and see if there was an opportunity.
Otherwise, even if they won the battle, the cultivators of the Raging Flame Sect might be alerted, and the losses would outweigh the gains.
He sat on the mountain rock and thought for a while, then transmitted his voice to the few spiritual treasures in his stomach, "Brothers, tell me, how can I enter the mountain quietly? Who has the ability to conceal my Spiritual Vigor and hide my body so that the fire elephant and the fire dragon don't notice? "
First, the cold voice of Green Heaven Sword said, "I can't, I only care about killing, not burying, beheading with one sword, regardless of the consequences! Other than killing, I don't know anything else. "
Then there was the sharp voice of the Dragon Wood Spear, "I can't do it either, I can only pierce the heart!"
Then there was the timid voice of the alchemy furnace, "Master, I can barely cover your body, but after that, there will be a smell of medicine on your body, and it can't be removed for three years."
Qin Di smiled and said, "Then I won't become a Mortal Core? What about the other brothers, tell me, do you have any ideas? "
Taibai Radiant Light said, "Master, I obviously can't! Don't count on me. I can only behead people from a hundred miles away and barely hide myself, I can't hide from you, master! "
Before the Mountain Driving Whip made a sound, there was a crisp "pa" sound, then it said, "I can't do it either, I can only drive rocks to move mountains, I can't do anything else."
A gentle female voice came from the Mountain Flowing Water Jade Bottle and said, "Master, I have the ability to hide, but it's best to be near the water vein. Now that we are in the Mountain of Flames, if I attack, the surrounding environment will be too different, like day and night, a louse on a bald man's head, it's better not to attack."
Qin Di said, "That's right. This is a volcano, water and fire are incompatible, you should just forget about it. "
Finally, the God Suppressing Pagoda transmitted its voice, "Master, I can protect you! I am now a third-stage spiritual treasure, if you put me on top of your head, even Perfected Lord Bu Xu will not be able to detect your existence. "
Qin Di was overjoyed, "Really? You have this ability? You won't strip my intelligence and turn me into a fool, right? "
"Hehe, master, if you become a fool, then I will be the biggest fool in the world! How can I level up in this place where even rabbits don't shit? I still want to recover my power, return to the Celestial World, and show off the glory of my third-stage celestial weapon! "
"That's good, next, whether we can go in quietly or not depends on you, Atta!"
The God Suppressing Pagoda suddenly appeared, from the size of a fist to a small pagoda with a diameter of two feet, flew in the air above Qin Di's head, then slowly descended, turning into a tower-shaped hat, not too loose nor too tight, just right on his head, the tall pointed top looked like an old man's hat to avoid the cold in winter.
Qin Di jumped up and ran forward.
With the protection of the God Suppressing Pagoda, it was indeed much more convenient. They encountered a few fire lions, and when they were within ten feet of him, they actually did not notice and were killed by Qin Di with one shot with the Dragon Wood Spear.
Qin Di put away the fire lions, continued forward, crossed three mountains, and finally saw a few eighth-stage fire elephants.
He tried to get closer, and secretly stabbed with his spear, this stab pierced the head of the fire elephant, but the fire elephant did not die, let out a violent scream, rushed towards him, and with a flick of its trunk, a pillar of fire came out!
Qin Di could not dodge in time, the flames burned in front of him, and in an instant, the clothes on his body were burned!
Fortunately, the Mountain Flowing Water Jade Bottle suddenly sprayed out a spirit spring, protecting his body.
Naked, Qin Di stabbed two more times with his spear, and finally killed the fire elephant.
He looked down at his naked body, leaving only a storage belt on his waist, and could not help but smile bitterly: "It seems that an eighth-stage fire beast is really not easy to deal with, just the Dragon Wood Spear is not enough, it may need several kinds of spirit treasures to kill it at once."
He took out clothes from the storage belt and put them on, thinking: "I can't hunt fire elephants anymore, it's too noisy, killing one or two is not a big deal, but if there are more, it may attract the attention of the big shots of the Raging Flame Sect."
