Night.
It had been a month and three days since they arrived at the Blazing Mountain. Tens of thousands of warriors gathered at the foot of the mountain, causing the foot of the Blazing Mountain to be filled with tents and torches. At this moment, Teng Qingshan, Guan Lu, and Ji Hong were discussing in the tent.
"More and more experts are coming." Ji Hong frowned and said, "Just the experts from the 《Earth Ranking》 alone, I know six of them! There are more than ten experts from the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》 and the 《Young Phoenix Ranking》. Although many of the experts are not from the 《Earth Ranking》, the difference in strength is not too great! Qingshan, Guan Lu, we're in trouble now! "
Trouble indeed!
Currently, the two sects with the strongest aura were Qing Hu Island and Xiao Yao Palace. These two sects were among the eight supreme sects of the nine prefectures.
Compared to these two sects, the Gui Yuan Sect was much weaker.
Guan Lu frowned, "Martial Granduncle, Qing Hu Island and Xiao Yao Palace have sent many experts, but they are all in the open. What I'm most worried about is the hidden experts! After all … … there are already tens of thousands of warriors gathered here. Xiao Yao Palace and Qing Hu Island only have over a hundred people each. Who knows if there are some super experts hidden in the crowd. "
Ji Hong nodded.
"Lord Commander, will the Black Fire Spirit Fruit attract innate experts?" Teng Qingshan suddenly asked.
"Innate experts?" Ji Hong was startled. He smiled and shook his head, "The Black Fire Spirit Fruit is useless to innate experts. Besides … … did Xiao Yao Palace and Qing Hu Island send any innate experts? There are too few innate experts in this world! All of them care about the reputation of innate experts. If an innate expert comes, we will just give it to him! Would he have the face to take it? "
"If an innate expert wants the spirit fruit, wouldn't it be easier to find it in the Desolate Land? There are few people in the Desolate Land, but there are many treasures! If you have the ability, you can enter the Desolate Land. "Ji Hong said.
Teng Qingshan somewhat understood.
The Desolate Land was a forbidden area for ordinary warriors, but it was nothing for innate experts. Perhaps, only monsters like Demonic Beasts could threaten Innate Experts. Of course … Teng Qingshan, a human whose arms weighed 180,000 Jin, could also be considered a humanoid monster.
"One month and three days." Teng Qingshan frowned. "The Black Fire Spirit Fruit should be ripe soon."
"Yes," Ji Hong said worriedly, "After such a long time, the Red Scaled Beast should be six Zhang tall. He estimated that the Black Fire Spirit Fruit would mature in at most ten to fifteen days. Up until now, no one has discovered the location of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. Once the Red Scaled Beast eats the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and transforms, it will definitely be able to massacre us! "
After the transformation of the Red Scaled Beast, even an Innate Ranker would find it hard to break through its scales.
At that time, the Red Scaled Beast was a truly terrifying demonic beast.
"Martial Granduncle, I reckon that even if someone finds the location, they will keep it a secret and not spread it," said Guan Lu.
Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu had no choice but to wait.
If there was a chance, they would snatch it. If there wasn't, they could only endure.
"Black Fire Spirit Root!" Teng Qingshan yearned for the Black Fire Spirit Root very much. It was a chance for him to strengthen his body.
Just as the three of them were chatting.
"Someone is challenging Gu Shiyou! Brothers, hurry up. " The voice of the Black Armoured Corps soldiers sounded from outside. This caused Teng Qingshan and the other two to immediately leave the tent. They saw a group of people gathering in the west. At a glance, there were at least a few thousand people. More than half of the warriors from the Blazing Mountain had rushed over.
"Let's go." Ji Hong was looking forward to it.
"Gu Shiyou!" Guan Lu's eyes lit up.
Ji Hong glanced at Teng Qingshan and laughed, "Qingshan, this Gu Shiyou should be the only expert amongst the younger generation in the entire Nine Prefectures who can compete with you! You should take a good look at the challengers this time. "
"I haven't seen him fight yet." Teng Qingshan was curious.
This Gu Shiyou was the Young Island Lord of Yangzhou's number one sect, Qing Hu Island. He was twenty-eight years old and ranked first in the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》 and 48th in the 《Earth Ranking》! He could be said to be the number one figure amongst the younger generation in the entire Nine Prefectures. In the entire Nine Prefectures, there were many young people who admired him and set him as their goal.
"Ranked on both lists!" Teng Qingshan and the group of people from the Gui Yuan Sect quickly squeezed out a large space.
Normally, warriors would automatically step aside when they saw the people from the Gui Yuan Sect.
And Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu naturally stood at the front, where they could see the most clearly.
Teng Qingshan could tell with a glance that in the center of the ten zhang wide open space, there was a cold man dressed in green, holding a long black spear. He was the current first in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, the Young Island Lord of Qing Hu Island, Gu Shiyou. And his opponent was a middle-aged man who used a long rod.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
The shadow of the rod swept towards Gu Shiyou like a raging wave.
Gu Shiyou stood in the same place, the long black spear in his hand instantly transforming into ten black shadows, each of which blocked a rod shadow.
"Ha ~ ~"
The middle-aged man suddenly leaped up, holding the rod with both hands. With a terrifying aura that could split the heavens and the earth, he suddenly hacked down from the sky.
"What a powerful move." Teng Qingshan praised in his heart.
"Bang!"
A one zhang deep and several zhang wide pit appeared on the ground. Dirt and gravel flew everywhere. And Gu Shiyou had already dodged to the side.
"Thirteen Rods of Furious Sea!" The middle-aged man shouted.
Each rod was faster and heavier than the previous one!
… …
"Commander, who is this middle-aged man? Such powerful and domineering rod techniques." Teng Qingshan was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Gu Shiyou would easily win this battle, but who would have thought that this challenger could actually suppress Gu Shiyou. It was indeed rare.
"I don't know this person either." Ji Hong said doubtfully.
Then, Ji Hong sighed, "In this world, some hardworking experts, like that Wu Yue, would bury their heads for twenty years. With this eruption of power, they were able to rank in the top ten of the 《Earth Ranking》. This middle-aged man who uses a long rod should also be an expert who has been training for many years! "
Teng Qingshan secretly praised.
Many ascetic cultivators would choose a large occasion to fight in public, making their name known to the world in one fell swoop.
"Bang!"
Another heavy rod hit. Gu Shiyou could not help but retreat more than ten steps. He looked in shock at the plainly dressed middle-aged man in front of him who looked like a mountain villager.
"Where did this expert come from!" Gu Shiyou was very puzzled. He was ranked first on the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》 and 48th on the 《Earth Ranking》. Naturally, there were many people who challenged him. He was also happy to accept the challenge. However, whenever he took action, his opponent would definitely be severely injured, crippled, or even killed.
Of course, there were even more experts who were not afraid of death who came to challenge him for fame and fortune.
Today, this middle-aged man was one of them.
However, the other party seemed to be stronger than him. From the beginning, the middle-aged man had completely taken the initiative. Each rod was more frightening than the previous one. That overbearing aura completely suppressed Gu Shiyou.
"Bang!"
After forcefully blocking another rod, Gu Shiyou could not help but fly up. After landing on the ground, he retreated a few steps and shouted, "Stop!"
The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion held the long rod and looked at Gu Shiyou.
"I admit defeat for this battle." Gu Shiyou said calmly.
The surrounding people immediately went into an uproar.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young Island Master's spear art is also very good. Up until now, I have not been able to injure Young Island Master."
Gu Shiyou smiled and said, "Up until now, I still do not know your name."
"I am Hua Chizhu!" The middle-aged man smiled and said. This sentence was especially loud. The surrounding warriors immediately began to discuss among themselves. When this' Hua Chizhu 'was mentioned. To be able to make Gu Shiyou directly admit defeat, there was no doubt that this' Hua Chizhu 'was strong. It seemed that there was going to be another expert on the 《Earth Ranking》.
Gu Shiyou smiled and then walked back to his camp.
"Young Island Master!" Those people surrounded him.
"Go, let's go back." Gu Shiyou instructed. Gu Shiyou then looked down at his palms. His palms were red and beads of blood seeped out.
"What a terrifying rod technique." Gu Shiyou secretly exclaimed. He knew that if he did not admit defeat, his long spear would be directly sent flying the next time. Now, his hands were already numb from the pain.
… …
Another new expert had emerged and defeated an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》. This caused the surrounding warriors to be very excited. The name of 'Hua Chizhu' would soon spread throughout the world. Many warriors were also envious of Hua Chizhu. At the same time, they also hoped that one day they could also be like him.
To be able to spread his name throughout the world, they would be willing to die.
*****
The next morning, Teng Qingshan led his subordinates to carefully search the Blazing Mountain.
"That Hua Chizhu's rod technique is really domineering! And from the looks of it, he has not displayed his full strength. " Teng Qingshan secretly exclaimed as he walked. He already had the thought of fighting with Hua Chizhu. "That Gu Shiyou, although he fought with all his might, he should still have some life-saving skills that he did not use. And with close to ten thousand warriors watching, he did not feel embarrassed at all when he admitted defeat! This person … his future is limitless. "
Looking up at the sky, it was already getting late.
There was still about two hours until noon.
"Qingshan, we have been searching for so long. Where is that Red Scaled Beast hiding? Tens of thousands of people have been searching, but we still can't find it. We can't even find the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. "Teng Qinghu said helplessly.
Teng Qingshan also frowned as he pondered.
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan recalled the first time he had chased after the adolescent Red Scaled Beast. The adolescent Red Scaled Beast had climbed up a tall mountain and then jumped down from the cliff.
"That's not right!"
Teng Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. "When I chased after the adolescent Red Scaled Beast, it felt that it was in danger. It would definitely choose a safe path to run away. There are many mountain peaks in the surroundings, why did it specifically choose that one? Moreover, after it jumped down, I followed closely behind. I was only a few seconds slower, so why couldn't I find it? Could it be that there's something special about that canyon? "
"Follow me!" Teng Qingshan commanded and immediately rushed towards the canyon.
In the canyon.
"This Black Fire Spirit Fruit is hidden really mysteriously. The entrance is actually in this place. Who would have thought that? " A skinny man climbed out from the other side of the canyon, which was covered by vines. There was actually a cave hidden under the vines. The skinny man's face was full of pride.
Now, he was the only one who knew where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was hidden.
"Hmph, as long as I don't tell anyone and keep an eye on it every day, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit will be mine! Although my strength is weak, even if I can't snatch the Red Scaled Beast, at least I can still eat the Black Fire Spirit Root. At that time, I will also be a First Rated Warrior. "The skinny man was very proud.
However, his expression suddenly changed. He stared blankly at a group of people in the distance. The leader was a man in black who was holding a long spear and was staring at him.
