In the depths of the Western Wasteland, in an active volcano valley, the sounds of fierce magic colliding and hissing could be heard from time to time. Yi Tian and Xiang Xing had been fighting the Nightmare Beast for less than half an hour, and both sides had suffered injuries.
The most miserable one was Xiang Xing. His chest had been hit by the Nightmare Beast's two hooves. Although his defensive barrier had been broken, he was still wearing his defensive armor. Only, the fragments of the armor had pierced into his flesh, and his entire chest had been dyed red with blood. After being knocked to the ground, Xiang Xing struggled to stand up. His right hand was tightly gripping a half foot long sword. It seemed to be his trump card.
The Nightmare Beast was also bleeding from many places. In addition to the sword wounds, there was also the back of its spine that had been bitten by the Ghost Faced Flower. From time to time, blood would gush out from the thumb-sized wound. The large amount of blood loss caused its speed to slow down. However, the anger on its face was even more apparent. It rushed towards Yi Tian.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat the Nightmare Beast, Yi Tian also used the Windfire Escape. He took out the Flame Emblem Shield to protect his entire body. He didn't fly into the air, and instead relied on the terrain of the valley to circle around the Nightmare Beast.
His speed in a straight line wasn't as fast as the Nightmare Beast, but Yi Tian relied on his own flexibility and agility. Coupled with the occasional harassment, he managed to maintain a distance of three hundred feet from the Nightmare Beast.
Sweeping a glance at Xiang Xing, the corners of Yi Tian's mouth curled into a smile. He directly circled around the Nightmare Beast in a radius of ten feet, attracting its attention.
Although he knew what Yi Tian was thinking, the current Xiang Xing couldn't just stand there and watch. In addition, the previous attack had caused him quite a bit of damage. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he would need to cultivate in seclusion for ten years to recover.
The angry Nightmare Beast spat out a string of flames from its mouth from time to time, setting all the withered grass in the valley on fire. After being toyed with by Yi Tian several times, in addition to the pain on its body, the Nightmare Beast roared towards the sky. It exerted strength in its legs and increased its speed by thirty percent, rushing towards the location of the two.
After shooting out a few wooden thorns, Yi Tian also ran towards Xiang Xing's location. He shouted, "If you hold back, we'll all die here." After he finished speaking, he turned around and used the Wisdom King's Hand. A fist the size of a bowl flew out. After three breaths of time, it hit the Nightmare Beast, and actually stopped it a few steps.
Xiang Xing took out his Natal Spiritual Sword again and smeared the blood flowing out of his chest onto it. Then, his hands kept forming hand seals and he said, "Go." The Natal Spiritual Sword turned into a red blood light and shot towards the other party.
Out of instinct, the Nightmare Beast relied on its superior speed to hastily dodge. The flying sword brushed past the side of the Demon Beast's body, leaving behind a three inch deep wound.
This time, the Nightmare Beast's ferocious nature was aroused. It suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of flames at Xiang Xing. Xiang Xing hastily dodged. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly tightened. It was as if his entire body had grown roots, and he couldn't move at all. He looked down and saw that a vine had drilled out of the ground and firmly wrapped around his feet.
Yi Tian's face revealed a proud expression. His hands didn't stop. He constantly controlled the vine to quickly extend and wrap around Xiang Xing's head, leaving only his hands free to cast spells.
Xiang Xing helplessly took out the Exquisite Umbrella and opened it with all his strength. At this time, the Nightmare Beast had already arrived in front of him. Its front body jumped high, and its two hooves fiercely stomped on Xiang Xing's spirit tool. With a bang, the Nightmare Beast's two feet kicked through the Exquisite Umbrella and landed on Xiang Xing's body. Then it opened its mouth and bit Xiang Xing's shoulder.
At this time, the vine under his feet seemed to have grown eyes. It quickly coiled around the Nightmare Beast's back and wrapped around its hind legs. On the side, Yi Tian continuously made hand seals. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to surge, and he poured it into the Ghost Face Flower's vine without any regard for his life.
The flower bud on the vine became as big as a bucket. With a bang, it opened and directly covered Xiang Xing and the Nightmare Beast's heads. This time, it could be said that the two opponents were completely surrounded. Yi Tian's face lit up with joy. He increased the speed of his hand seals and directed the Ghost Face Flower's bud to continue devouring them.
The man and horse who were bitten on the head kept struggling. Xiang Xing's hands were still desperately beating the flower bud, and the Nightmare Beast kept shaking its head, trying to break free. Who knew that the flower bud was like a sticky candy. No matter how the two people beat it, it was still stuck.
When Xiang Xing's heart-wrenching cry rang out, the spiritual energy around him suddenly began to circulate rapidly. The spiritual pressure of a Jin Dan cultivator spread out and mixed with the raging flames on the Nightmare Beast's body to form a flaming astral wind.
In an instant, a golden light came out from the flower bud. Yi Tian saw that the situation was bad. He abandoned the spell in his hand and used the shield to protect his body. He desperately ran back. He had only seen this in books before. When an early stage Jin Dan cultivator detonated their Jin Dan, it would create a strong spiritual pressure astral wind. It would cause all of their cultivation to erupt in an instant. Its power was comparable to a late stage Jin Dan cultivator's full strength attack.
The entire valley flashed with several golden lights, and then there was a loud explosion. The ground shook, and the trees outside the valley were blown down by the fierce flame wind blowing out from the gap.
After Yi Tian fled 500 feet away, he was directly pushed out of the valley by the spiritual pressure from behind. Fortunately, he had practiced the Golden Sun Unbreakable Body to small success. Even so, he still felt a faint pain on his skin after being swept by the astral wind.
When he looked back, Xiang Xing's body had already been torn apart. The power of the self-detonation of his Gold Core could not be underestimated. The entire ground had been blown into a crater that was more than ten feet deep and ten feet wide.
The flame Nightmare Beast struggled to get up, but its entire body was damaged. Blood constantly seeped out from under its skin, especially the flesh on its head. Even if it stood up, it looked like it was about to fall.
At this time, Yi Tian almost didn't have the strength to continue fighting. He had used up too much spiritual energy. If a rank 3 demonic beast came, it would be able to take his life.
Thinking about demonic beasts, Yi Tian was delighted. He hurriedly took out the spirit beast pouch at his waist and woke up the sleeping Fat Dog. A white light flashed and landed on the ground, revealing the figure of the Ice Glass Fox. Yi Tian was overjoyed. He hurriedly pointed at the Nightmare Beast and ordered, "Quickly go and give it an ice spike."
Perhaps because it hadn't been out for a long time, the Fat Dog cheerfully spread its four legs and ran around Yi Tian. Then, when it saw Yi Tian's eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone, it turned around and ran towards the Nightmare Beast.
Originally, the difference of a single grade of spirit stone was like the difference between heaven and earth. But the Nightmare Beast in front of him was already an arrow at the end of its flight. The fat dog ran forward and spat out several icicles from its mouth. With a few whooshing sounds, four or five half-foot long ice spikes became the straw that broke the camel's back. They directly pierced the Nightmare Beast's body.
As the Nightmare Beast fell to the ground, Yi Tian was finally able to relax. He originally thought that even if he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin. He didn't expect that he would be so lucky.
After slowly sitting down, Yi Tian hurriedly took out a pile of spirit stones and quickly set up a spirit gathering formation. Then, he sat in the middle of the formation and began to recover.
Three days later, a thick white fog suddenly appeared at the top of the volcano. It slowly spread down the slope until it completely covered a radius of 30 miles.
At this time, the scene at the mouth of the volcano was different. Yi Tian was holding the Sundial Luogeng and slowly measuring the valley's spirit veins. One of the eight tokens in his hand had been destroyed by Xiang Xing. Fortunately, this thing was originally refined by him. He directly took out some spare materials to refine another one.
During this time, Yi Tian had investigated the valley's geology and spirit veins. He discovered that the concentration of spirit energy was actually comparable to that of a medium-sized blessed land. It was no wonder that this place could breed a Class 5 demonic beast.
The most troublesome thing was that the spirit veins were located near the mouth of the volcano. Once the volcano erupted, it would cause damage to the spirit veins. However, this wasn't something that Yi Tian needed to consider. After exploring the Nightmare Beast's cave, there was actually a spirit spring inside. Wasn't this the eye of the spirit vein?
Yi Tian was overjoyed. Originally, he wanted to take the risk and go to the blessed land of Mount Fujun to form his Gold Core. Now, it seemed that he already had a ready-made immortal's cave. As long as he repaired it a little and set up a defensive formation, it would be foolproof.
However, what gave Yi Tian the most headache was that there was actually a newborn cub in the Nightmare Beast's cave. After looking through the Tianlan Miscellaneous Records on his body, Yi Tian knew that Nightmare Beasts were generally born as Class 3 demonic beasts. However, this cub clearly didn't have enough spirit energy during the gestation process. Therefore, it didn't reach Class 3 after being born.
Previously, the 'Fat Dog' had swaggered into the cave and swept through it. When Yi Tian found the cub next to the spirit spring, he discovered that it was frightened by the 'Fat Dog's' cold energy. It was also incessantly hissing, which gave him a headache. While Yi Tian was in a daze, he didn't expect that the Nightmare Beast would suddenly get up. Then, it hurriedly ran to Yi Tian's side and circled around him a few times. It even leaned its head against him from time to time.
This Nightmare Beast cub was only one-third the size of the 'Fat Dog'. When it was touched by the 'Fat Dog's' cold energy, it shivered in fear. However, when it was beside him, it was abnormally lively.
Yi Tian hurriedly took out the acrobatics book and checked it again. Only then did he feel relieved. It turned out that the rich fire spiritual energy on his body had attracted the cub. The Flame Nightmare Beast lived by devouring fire spiritual energy. Therefore, it chose to live in the mouth of the volcano. Now that it had cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage, the fire spiritual energy leaking from its body from time to time was precisely the food it needed the most.
After half a day, Yi Tian made up his mind to keep this Nightmare Beast cub. He directly used up his remaining contract beast quota.
Signing a contract with a spirit beast wasn't as troublesome as the one with the 'Fat Dog'. Yi Tian's left hand released a wisp of flame to feed the cub. Then, he bit his right index finger and slowly drew a spirit beast blood contract array on its forehead. He muttered, "From now on, you will be called 'Scarlet Flame Colt'. Following me can be considered your good fortune." The Nightmare Beast cub seemed to understand Yi Tian's words. It constantly nodded, and then a slight smile appeared on its face.
After the ceremony was completed, a golden mark was left on the Scarlet Flame Colt's forehead. It could be considered a successful master recognition. He casually took out a few spirit beast pills and began to feed it. However, at this time, the 'Fat Dog' rushed over and snatched most of the spirit beast pills and ate them.
Looking at the Scarlet Flame Colt's aggrieved appearance, Yi Tian had no other choice. After the meal, he directly put the two spirit stones into the spirit beast bag. However, this time, it was tossed around again. Originally, the 'Fat Dog's' nest was one person, but now another person was living in it. The 'Fat Dog' wasn't happy. It yelled at the Scarlet Flame Colt from the spirit beast bag and even drove it to a small corner.
In the end, Yi Tian had to refine a spirit beast bag and separate the two of them to solve this problem.
