"Junior Brothers, please be careful. With our combined strength, even if we encounter a Level Nine Black Demon, we should be able to fight it." Lin Qing said, "Of course, as far as I know, there are very few Level Nine Black Demons. Unless you're very unlucky, you won't encounter one."
"Senior Brother Lin Qing, I feel that you have a goal in mind." Yang Ziling said.
No one said anything. They were all waiting for Lin Qing's reply.
The Black Well was a dangerous place, but it was also a place of opportunity. Lin Qing was leading the team. Their goal was very simple. It was better to work together.
The distribution method had been discussed, but it didn't mean that they didn't have other goals.
If it was just a simple exploration of the Black Well, it was normal. If they had other goals, they had to make it clear. Otherwise, if they were kept in the dark, they might become cannon fodder or something else. It was always uncomfortable.
"Junior Brothers, I have two goals in coming to the Black Well. One is to explore the Black Well. Junior Brothers are also interested, so we formed a team." Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "In addition, I paid a great price to obtain secret information from a special channel. Somewhere in the Black Well, there is a Black Flame Demonic Lotus that will soon mature. I didn't say it before because I was outside and was worried that the news would leak out. Now that Junior Brother has asked, I will tell you."
"Black Flame Lotus." Some people frowned. They couldn't figure out what treasure it was.
"Could it be that the Ingestion Pill can purify spiritual energy and has a miraculous effect on fire-type cultivation methods? It can also make non-fire-type spiritual energy gain fire-type spiritual energy?" Yang Ziling suddenly asked.
"I remember now. The Black Flame Lotus can be exchanged for 100,000 contribution points." Lin Zhengkong suddenly said.
"100,000 contribution points!" Everyone gasped.
Apart from Chen Zong and Lin Qing, who were Heaven disciples, the other five were Earth disciples. Even though Chen Zong had received two hundred thousand contribution points in one go, he was still shocked by the hundred thousand contribution points, let alone the others.
"Junior Brothers, this Black Flame Lotus is very useful to me. So when the time comes, if you help me get it, I, Lin Qing, will give each of you 10,000 contribution points." Lin Qing said solemnly, "But I'll say the ugly words first. If there's any junior brother who doesn't contribute, then according to the rules, I won't give him any contribution points."
"Senior Brother Lin Qing, if I contribute more, it should be more than 10,000 contribution points, right?" Yang Ziling smiled.
"Of course." Lin Qing nodded.
If he could obtain the Black Flame Demonic Lotus by himself, he would naturally not need to pay any price. However, the problem was that his own strength was insufficient to obtain the Black Flame Demonic Lotus. He needed to form a team with others.
As for teaming up with others, it would be best if their cultivation level did not exceed his own. Otherwise, he might become the host instead.
An early stage Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer and five powerful Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer cultivators were very suitable. Even if one of them decided to act rashly in the end, Yang Kai would be able to suppress them with his own strength.
It had to be said that Lin Qing's thoughts were meticulous, and he had considered everything thoroughly.
Since the conversation had already been made, everyone continued to move forward.
The Black Well was very big, and there were many passageways. Those who were not familiar with the place would get lost easily. Even those who were familiar with the place had to be careful, or they might get lost too.
However, Lin Qing did not hesitate and continued forward. Obviously, he had already explored this place before, or he had memorized the route in advance.
The roars of the Black Monster rang out one after another in the distance, but the group did not encounter many Black Monsters, the strongest of which was only a Seventh-Order one.
A Seventh-Order Black Monster was already quite terrifying. Its skin was extremely tough and difficult to penetrate, and the rebound force it contained was even more powerful.
However, everyone's strength was not to be underestimated, and working together, they quickly killed the Seventh-Order Black Monster and dismembered its body.
The Black Monster was very strange. If its body was not dismembered and only its arms or head were cut off, it would be impossible to kill it. If one thought it was dead and approached it, they would immediately be counterattacked. In the past, when exploring the Black Well, countless people had died because of this reason. It was not until this characteristic of the Black Monster was discovered and spread that the death rate had decreased.
However, the decrease did not mean that there were no deaths. There were still some people who were not careful enough and died.
"Junior Brothers, according to the information I received, there is at least one Level Eight Black Fiend at the location of the Black Flame Lotus. At that time, if there is only one Level Eight Black Fiend, we will work together to kill it as quickly as possible. If there is more than one, I hope that all of you will show your true abilities. You don't need to kill the Black Fiend, just keep it occupied while I pluck the Black Flame Lotus as quickly as possible," Lin Qing said in a serious tone.
A Seventh-Order Black Monster was very strong. The five Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm cultivators present could kill it one on one, but it would take a lot of effort, and if they were not careful, they would be injured.
An Eighth-Order Black Monster was much stronger than a Seventh-Order Black Monster. Yang Ziling did not have absolute confidence in killing it, but keeping it occupied should be possible.
"In front of us is the place where the Black Flame Lotus grows." Lin Qing pointed forward. Through the light of the Radiant Jade, more than a hundred meters away, a vague entrance could be seen.
Everyone also became vigilant.
As they slowly approached, they could hear a low roar coming from the front, like rolling thunder, its momentum astonishing, even more shocking than the Seventh-Order Black Monster's roar from before.
"Eighth-Order Black Monsters, there should be two of them." Lin Qing's eyes flashed as he transmitted his voice, "According to our agreement, Junior Brothers will keep the two Black Monsters occupied while I take the Black Flame Lotus. After obtaining it, we will work together to kill the Black Monster."
No one objected.
With the six of them working together, keeping two Black Monsters occupied was not a problem.
The seven of them quickly entered through the entrance. The Bright Light Jade's radiance spread out, illuminating the surroundings, covering a radius of a hundred meters. However, this cave was not small, exceeding a hundred meters. Everyone could only see two huge shadows that were at least eight meters tall, but they did not see the so-called Black Flame Demonic Lotus.
The level of a Black Monster was closely related to its size.
A First-Order Black Monster was only one meter tall, a Second-Order Black Monster was two meters tall, a Third-Order Black Monster was three meters tall, and so on. An Eighth-Order Black Monster was eight meters tall.
Although the Black Monsters' eyes were scarlet, their eyesight was actually very poor, making it difficult for them to see far, only a few meters away could they clearly see their targets.
However, their hearing and perception were amazing, perhaps because they lived in an environment like the Black Well.
"Chen Shidi, you and I will work together to keep one of them occupied, the other four Junior Brothers will take care of the other one," Yang Ziling quickly said. He was an early stage Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer cultivator, so although he couldn't kill the Black Monster one on one, he could at least keep it occupied. For safety's sake, he asked Chen Zong to work together to share the pressure.
As for the other four, two were peak Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm and two were peak Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm cultivators. They all cultivated top quality Spirit Grade Secret Arts, so their Spirit Qi was extremely pure and tyrannical. Even if they couldn't kill the Eighth-Order Black Monster, they could at least keep it occupied.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qing quickly moved to another place to search for the Black Flame Lotus.
Without the illumination of the Radiant Jade, everyone could still see clearly within a ten-meter radius, so fighting the Black Monsters didn't affect them much.
This cave wasn't actually very big, only about a kilometer in radius, so Lin Qing quickly found the so-called Black Flame Lotus.
While Chen Zong and the others were keeping the Black Monster busy, they still had time to look around. Because Lin Qing was carrying the Radiant Jade, they were able to see the Black Flame Lotus from a certain distance away.
Near the Black Flame Lotus, a black aura filled the air. This aura was like a dense fog, but it didn't dissipate, covering a ten-meter radius around it. A palm-sized black lotus flower, which seemed to be surrounded by black flames, was blooming little by little, exuding a strange and soul-stirring aura.
The blooming of the lotus flower meant that it was about to mature. Lin Qing had grasped the timing of his arrival very well. If he had arrived early, he would have had to wait for a long time, but if he had arrived late, the Black Flame Lotus might have already been eaten by the Black Monster.
If the Black Monster ate the Black Flame Lotus, it would definitely become even stronger and more terrifying.
Presumably, these two Eighth-Order Black Monsters were waiting here for the Black Flame Lotus to mature.
As if sensing that Lin Qing was close to the Black Flame Lotus, the two Eighth-Order Black Monsters went berserk, charging straight at Lin Qing.
Chen Zong and the others immediately exerted their strength, using sword, saber, and palm techniques to their heart's content, bombarding the Black Monster's bodies. However, they could only break the layer of black light outside their bodies, unable to break through their tough skin. However, the tyrannical power still caused the Black Monster's bodies to stop, buying time for Lin Qing.
Lin Qing had already taken out a round jade-white box, which emitted traces of cold fog. It was obviously made of cold jade, and from its appearance, it seemed to have been specially made for the Black Flame Lotus.
Lin Qing held the cold jade box in one hand while staring at the Black Flame Lotus that was about to fully bloom. At the same time, he also paid attention to the two Eighth-Order Black Monsters, preventing them from rushing over.
Fortunately, the six Junior Brothers were also doing their best to stall the two frenzied Black Monsters, but the frenzied Black Monsters were even more terrifying, putting a lot of pressure on everyone.
The Black Monsters were very powerful, and if they were hit, even Yang Ziling would not be able to withstand it and would be injured. Therefore, everyone was very careful to avoid being injured while also holding the Black Monsters back, which was very laborious.
When the Black Flame Lotus had fully bloomed, Lin Qing quickly took action, directly plucking the Black Flame Lotus and putting it into the cold jade box, then into his Storage Ring.
After doing all this, Lin Qing immediately drew his sword and slashed at one of the Eighth-Order Black Monsters.
Seeing that the Black Flame Lotus was successfully collected by Lin Qing, everyone stopped paying attention and focused on dealing with the Black Monsters.
The black aura in the surroundings gathered towards the center, and then continued to shrink towards the center. In the end, it turned into a black flame that was the size of a needle and kept burning.
The flame was very small and its aura was very weak. Everyone's attention was focused on the Black Monsters, so they did not notice it.
Lin Qing's cultivation was at the late stage of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer, and he was also a Heaven Grade disciple, so his strength was very tyrannical. Once he slashed out, it did not take long for a Black Monster to be beheaded.
