The next morning, Ji Hong left with fifty Black Armoured Corps soldiers. Teng Qingshan, Guan Lu, and thirty Gui Yuan Sect experts stayed behind.
It wasn't just the Gui Yuan Sect that coveted the scaled armor of the Red Scaled Beast. There were still many people lingering at the foot of the Blazing Mountain.
… …
In the blink of an eye, twenty-six days had passed since Ji Hong left!
In the evening, Teng Qingshan held the Reincarnation Spear and leisurely descended the mountain.
"Commandant Teng Qingshan!" The experts of the Gui Yuan Sect greeted him enthusiastically when they saw Teng Qingshan return. Ever since they saw the battle between the experts in the middle of the lava lake, everyone had a clear understanding of Teng Qingshan's strength. That was definitely the strength of an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》. Furthermore, he should be at the top of the 《Earth Ranking》!
"Commandant Teng, did you find the Red Scaled Beast?"
"Haha, so many of you couldn't find it. It would be difficult for me to find it." Teng Qingshan replied with a smile.
"Hmph." A cold snort was heard.
Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw Commander Guan Lu walk out of her private tent with a cold expression. "So many people, just waiting for you!"
"Haha, let's eat, let's eat." Teng Qingshan laughed, not wanting to bicker with Guan Lu.
"I've provoked a woman! Sigh! " Teng Qingshan sat at the table and glanced at Guan Lu beside him. He sighed to himself, "Didn't I only win once? I've already held back a lot of my strength. I didn't make you lose too badly either. Now you're always giving me a cold face. "Teng Qingshan felt very helpless.
Twenty-six days ago, Ji Hong had just left.
According to Guan Lu, she and Teng Qingshan would each lead half of the troops into the mountain to search. However, Teng Qingshan said that he would enter the mountain alone and let Guan Lu lead all the experts. This made Guan Lu very unhappy. She didn't know why, but she mentioned a competition!
She clearly knew that Teng Qingshan was strong, but this Guan Lu still insisted on competing.
In the end, Teng Qingshan let Guan Lu lose a little so that she wouldn't lose too much face.
Who would have thought that … Teng Qingshan could move alone. However, Guan Lu's opinion of Teng Qingshan was even greater.
"Teng Qingshan!" Guan Lu and Teng Qingshan sat at the same table and ate dinner. Guan Lu said solemnly, "It has already been twenty-six days. That Red Scaled Beast is probably about to transform. Now that they had entered the Flame Mountains, the danger had greatly increased. In my opinion, don't act alone. Come with us. Be safe. "
Teng Qingshan smiled, "Commander Guan, if the Red Scaled Beast had completely transformed, we would be courting death if we were to fight it recklessly."
Guan Lu choked.
A transformed Red Scaled Beast that even Innate Masters were afraid of. Whoever fought it recklessly would be courting death.
"We can't use force to find the Scaled Armor. We have to rely on this." Teng Qingshan pointed at his head, "Don't worry, Commander Guan. I have confidence."
"Hmph." Guan Lu's face turned cold.
She had kindly asked Teng Qingshan to act together with her, but Teng Qingshan didn't appreciate her kindness at all.
Teng Qingshan looked at Guan Lu's cold face and smiled, "Commander Guan, I'll tell you a secret."
"Hm?" Guan Lu frowned at him.
"Actually, Commander Guan, you're quite pretty. If you didn't have a cold face all day, you would smile more often. In the sect, there would probably be a lot of people chasing after you. " Teng Qingshan joked with a smile. Guan Lu's eyes widened as she heard this. She was stunned for a moment. She was famous for being cold and callous in the Gui Yuan Sect.
Furthermore, she was a commander at such a young age. With that kind of arrogance, which young man would dare to chase after her? In front of her, they would probably tremble with fear.
Commander Guan stared at Teng Qingshan, clenched her teeth, and finally — —
"Hmph."
Throwing down her chopsticks in anger, Commander Guan ran straight into the big tent.
Teng Qingshan glanced at Guan Lu's back, smiled, and shook his head. He drank a cup of wine in contentment.
"Women!" Teng Qingshan sighed. In the assassin organization in his previous life, seductive female assassins and cold female assassins, which type of female assassins hadn't Teng Qingshan seen before? He had seen women who were even colder than Commander Guan. For example, his wife, 'Kitten', was a cold machine-like woman!
Only when she was beside Teng Qingshan would she reveal her feminine side.
Actually, Teng Qingshan had a good impression of this cold Guan Lu.
Perhaps …
It was because his wife in his previous life was also such a cold person.
"If I had such strength in my previous life, so many tragedies wouldn't have happened." Teng Qingshan drank another cup of wine. Although he was a little sad, Teng Qingshan's state of mind was very calm. "In the world of my previous life, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was sparse, and there was no such thing as the Black Fire Spirit Root."
Recalling these twenty-six days, Teng Qingshan was also a little surprised.
Actually, the reason why he acted alone was because … … he didn't enter the mountains to search for the Red Scaled Beast, but to secretly practice the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》.
As he had expected, the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》 had indeed allowed his body to develop its potential and absorb energy.
However, the absorption of the 'Black Fire Spirit Root' hidden within Teng Qingshan's body was related to the amount of time that Teng Qingshan had been practicing! The longer Teng Qingshan practiced the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》, the more energy he absorbed. Moreover, this kind of progress was almost at a constant speed.
For a whole twenty-six days, Teng Qingshan had improved by about the same amount every day!
"Twenty-six days allowed the strength of my muscles and bones to increase by another ten thousand Jin. And from the looks of it, it's still far from the end. " Teng Qingshan was also surprised. The enormous amount of energy contained within the Black Fire Spirit Root, in addition to the sudden increase of twenty thousand Jin of strength. Now, it had increased by a total of thirty thousand Jin!
His physical strength had increased from one hundred and eighty thousand Jin to two hundred and ten thousand Jin!
In less than a month's time.
"Fortunately, this Black Fire Spirit Root has fallen into my hands! If it were other warriors, they would have cultivated inner strength instead of increasing their physical strength. Eating the Black Fire Spirit Root would have been a waste for them. "Teng Qingshan also sighed for the Black Fire Spirit Roots that had been eaten by other warriors in the past.
What a waste!
He had already increased his strength by thirty thousand Jin, and it was still increasing at a constant speed.
"For example, that Innate Ranker 'Sima Qing', the explosive power of his Innate True Origin was around two hundred thousand Jin." Teng Qingshan still remembered the battle from a few days ago. "I only used my inner strength to increase my strength by sixty thousand Jin in an instant, and it was enough to heavily injure him. Of course … … this was also related to Sima Qing's own weakness! "
Teng Qingshan was very clear-headed!
After killing Sima Qing, Teng Qingshan did not arrogantly think that he was invincible.
"According to Sima Qing's strength, he should be at the first level of the Innate Realm, the 'Emptiness Dan'! Moreover, this Sima Qing is an expert in nimble close combat and escaping. In a true frontal battle, he is still quite lacking. "Teng Qingshan guessed that Sima Qing should be at the bottom of the Innate Rankers.
Just like how they were both experts at the peak of the Postliminary Realm.
For example, the Thunder God Blade 'Wu Yue' could easily kill a group of First Rated Warriors.
Even if they were both Emptiness Dan Innate Rankers, there should still be a difference in strength.
"However, I was able to kill Sima Qing with an overwhelming advantage. At least against an Emptiness Dan Innate Ranker, I still have a sliver of confidence. "Teng Qingshan did not belittle himself.
"Yes, I'll enter the mountains tomorrow and start searching for the Red Scaled Beast!" Teng Qingshan did not think too much about it.
*****
The next morning, it was already late autumn in September, and the weather had also turned cold.
"In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since I left." Teng Qingshan walked alone on the Blazing Mountain, sighing endlessly. At the beginning of June, he had escorted the goods to Chu County, and it had taken him almost twenty days. He had stayed in the Blazing Mountain for a little more than two months. When he left Jiangning, it was still the scorching heat of June, and the weather had already turned cold.
Teng Qingshan was like an agile monkey, rapidly advancing on the mountain.
He was also too lazy to take a detour.
He climbed all the way to the top of a tall mountain, and then jumped down from the cliff. Circulating the inner strength in his body, his entire body's weight decreased sharply, and he fell towards the canyon!
"Peng!"
As he landed, the ground shook violently, and a pit appeared. The surroundings also cracked open. Teng Qingshan smiled as he walked out.
"A hundred zhang cliff. The combination of inner strength and physical strength can indeed easily neutralize the impact." Teng Qingshan immediately rushed into the cave and began to enter the underground magma lake area.
The first place that Teng Qingshan searched was — the underground!
… …
Many warriors said that after the Red Scaled Beast had gone through that battle, it would probably leave the underground and go to the surface to find a hidden place. Therefore, many people were searching on the surface!
Although they said so, many warriors understood in their hearts — —
The Red Scaled Beast was most likely underground!
Because there was a tunnel maze underground! The tunnels were pitch-black inside. Some of the tunnels were extremely high, and could completely accommodate the Red Scaled Beast. Some of the tunnels were shorter. However … … everyone was afraid of the pitch-black tunnels that their eyes could not see.
Therefore, they were unwilling to go.
*****
"Gurgle, gurgle ~ ~" The magma lake was boiling as usual.
Teng Qingshan directly stepped into the tunnel. He walked very slowly, and his Reincarnation Spear was ready to attack at any time.
"My eyes can actually see so far in the darkness." Teng Qingshan was amazed. In the pitch-black tunnel, Teng Qingshan could see tens of zhang (close to a hundred meters) with a glance. One must know that a month ago, Teng Qingshan could only see a few zhang in this tunnel.
Ever since he started practicing the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》, Teng Qingshan's eyesight had improved significantly in the dark.
Moreover, his hearing ability had also improved.
"Moreover, once I use my body's strength, my entire body's skin will turn a faint dark red color! My toughness has also improved significantly. "Teng Qingshan himself was amazed by the changes in the past 26 days. His skin turning dark red and becoming tougher … … This made Teng Qingshan think of a demonic beast!
"Red Scaled Beast! I remember the first time I chased after an adolescent Red Scaled Beast, it suddenly exploded. Its entire body turned red, and its speed increased greatly. "
"Now that I use my body's strength, my skin will also turn a faint dark red color. It's just a dark red color, so it's not eye-catching. "
Teng Qingshan was not a fool.
He sensed that this had something to do with the 'Black Fire Spirit Root'!
The first time the Black Fire Spirit Root's energy was actively absorbed, Teng Qingshan's eyesight, hearing, and skin had not changed. But now that he had actively absorbed the energy, it had started to change.
"At least in the dark, I have an advantage! Moreover, my body's defense has become stronger. Of course … … it's not as exaggerated as the Red Scaled Beast! "Teng Qingshan exclaimed in admiration when he thought of the Red Scaled Beast. When the Red Scaled Beast was young, its physical strength was very average. However, the strength of its scales was terrifying.
Although Teng Qingshan had improved, the improvement was not obvious.
"Eh?"
Teng Qingshan walked casually, but suddenly, he turned his head and looked into the distance. A few dozen Zhangs away, a huge crimson head was looking in his direction.
"Red Scaled Beast! Crimson Scaled Armor? It, it has completely transformed? " Teng Qingshan was shocked, "Eh, I looked at it, but it didn't react at all. That Red Scaled Beast can't see me?"
Teng Qingshan wasn't sure about the Red Scaled Beast's vision.
Similarly, the Red Scaled Beast thought that Teng Qingshan couldn't see it from a few dozen Zhangs away! In its eyes, in a pitch-black environment, humans were blind.
