“You…!” Yin Ting’s brows flashed with anger. She didn’t expect this human cultivator to be so unwise. In this underground palace, once the power of the strange beast was exhausted and they encountered other cultivators, they would be as vulnerable as ordinary mortals facing cultivators. “Tell me, what conditions do you need for you to stop?” In the end, the purple crystal would absorb her life force. This was also the price of using such a powerful treasure.
“I want that flute you have!”
“Impossible!”
“What about the lantern?”
“Change it.”
“too strange stones and 100 immortal spirit stones!”
“At most 20 stone stones and 50 immortal spirit stones!
“Deal.”
The conversation between the two of them was completed in two breaths. There was not much power of the strange beast left in Shen Ping’s body. When the female Winged Race cultivator handed over the strange stones and immortal spirit stones, he hurriedly retracted his silk blade. However, when he saw the female Winged Race cultivator’s calm expression, he secretly regretted not having enough.
Rumble-
At this moment, the surrounding rock walls suddenly shook. Shen Ping and Yin Ting’s expressions changed at the same time. Then, they simultaneously fled towards the s.p.a.cious area in the southeast. If there was a change in the environment of the underground palace, it would definitely be accompanied by natural danger. As long as it was a cultivator who had stayed in the underground palace for a while, they would know this pattern.
Whoosh. He had only escaped for two breaths when the ground around the rock wall collapsed, and a large amount of red lava emerged.
“s.h.i.t! It’s the Earth Arrow Magma Pit!” Looking at the red magma that could be seen with the naked eye in the distance, the female Winged cultivator frowned and stopped.
Shen Ping was just about to use his escape divine power, but he could only stop at this moment. The Earth Arrow Magma was the only large-scale danger among the many dangers in the underground palace. For example, although the flames in the cave, the strange fish in the lake, and the strange demonic sound were more dangerous, the range was relatively small. Moreover, the strange fish in the lake would not chase for long, but as long as the Earth Arrow Magma appeared, it would cover dozens of kilometers.
The most important thing was that the lava’s temperature was extremely high and could melt everything. Even spiritual ancient treasures would melt after a short period of time. Only beast spirit treasures could last for a period of time.
However, Shen Ping and Yin Ting had just fought, and the consumption of the strange beast power in their bodies was too great. Right now, they needed to find a safe place to absorb the strange stone to recover. In the end, they encountered such danger.
Yin Ting glanced at Shen Ping.
“Why are you looking at me? If you had handed over the spirit ring earlier, you wouldn’t have consumed too much!” Shen Ping curled his lips and immediately sat down cross-legged to take out the strange stone to absorb and recover. It would take dozens of breaths for the magma to spread over. It was better to recover as much as possible.
Yin Ting also sat cross-legged. They only opened their eyes when they felt the heat wave coming at them.
“If you and I want to safely cross this Earth Arrow Magma, we can only cooperate. This is a boat-shaped beast spirit treasure. Compared to other beast spirit treasures, it can last longer on the Earth Arrow Magma and consume less power of strange beasts. You and I will take turns controlling it.” Yin Ting said.
Shen Ping nodded. Although he had many beast spirit treasures, most of them were offensive and defensive. Even if he controlled them, he could only last for a period of time before sinking into the magma.
Whoosh.
Soon, the boat-shaped spiritual treasure with blue patterns on the edge landed on the magma. Shen Ping and Yin Ting stepped on it one after another. Then, Yin Ting continued, “Are you first, or am I first?
“You first.” Shen Ping was worried about the other party.
Yin Ting seemed to have guessed Shen Ping’s thoughts. She reminded him nonchalantly, “An Earth Arrow will appear every five minutes. You have to block it for me before it’s my turn!”
“Sure.”
With that, Yin Ting sat cross-legged at the front of the small boat and took out the strange stone to recover.
Shen Ping urged the boat. The blue fluorescence immediately enveloped the small boat and floated on the magma. He looked into the distance. Unfortunately, there was magma all around him. Moreover, the hot temperature seemed to burn and distort even the s.p.a.ce. He could not see the scenery dozens of feet away at all. Fortunately, the small boat isolated the temperature. Otherwise, even if he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would not be able to withstand such a special high temperature.
After retracting his gaze, Shen Ping tried to steer the small boat, but he realized that there seemed to be a mountain blocking the front of the small boat, making it difficult to move at all.
Seeing this, his expression was a little ugly. If he could not move the small boat out of the magma range, it would be useless even if he recovered the power of the strange beast.
He thought for a while. He took out another long spear beast spirit treasure and dipped it into the magma. The magma immediately corroded the surface of the long spear, but it was blocked by the fluorescent light on the surface. He used the long spear as wood pulp and moved it. The small boat actually moved forward a little.
This made Shen Ping look happy. Thus, he swung his spear with all his might. When the small boat sailed about 200 feet forward, a familiar energy fluctuation of a strange beast emitted. He looked up and saw three strange rocks floating on the magma not far away.
Faced with this pleasant surprise, Shen Ping took it away without hesitation. Five minutes later, he discovered more than thirty strange stones one after another. The efficiency of his exploration was much higher than usual. “Tsk tsk, this Earth Arrow Magma is not a bad thing!”
Most of the strange stones were scattered on the ground of the underground palace. Some were even buried deep in the ground. They could only be discovered by sensing the fluctuations carefully. Now that the ground had collapsed into magma, the strange stones were exposed.
Swish, swish.
At this moment, the magma suddenly rolled, and magma arrows shot out. Shen Ping quickly reacted and used the remaining power of the strange beast to activate the three-striped earth-colored bead to defend. The magma arrows struck the earth-colored light barrier and burned, constantly corroding it. As more and more arrows appeared around him, he gradually became tired.
During this period, he used the Six Shield Talisman, but an arrow pierced through the talisman. Seeing as it was about to collapse, Shen Ping hurriedly shouted, “Fellow Daoist, if you don’t help, we’re going to die here!” Yin Ting slowly opened her eyes. Soon, the light of the green lantern enveloped her and Shen Ping. “Alright, it’s your turn to recover.”
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. “This spear can be used as wood pulp to row a small boat…”
Yin Ting took out a staff-type beast spirit treasure. Clearly, she knew how to cross the magma.
After repeating this several times, Shen Ping and Yin Ting had almost recovered their strange beast power. They only relied on other beast spirit treasures to slowly row the small boat. It would take a long time for them to leave the range of the Earth Arrow Magma.
However, after experiencing this, the two of them became familiar with each other. At the very least, they knew each other’s names.
“Fellow Daoist Yin, I have a question. May I ask for your advice?” Shen Ping cupped his hands.
Yin Ting glanced at Shen Ping and said coldly, Speak.
■Tve just entered the underground palace of the Strange Beast Gate. Although it’s normal for cultivators of various races to kill each other for benefits and resources, why are the other cultivators always hostile to me?” Shen Ping asked the question in his heart.
A trace of surprise flashed in Yin Ting’s almond-shaped eyes, but she quickly calmed down. She was silent for a moment before saying, “It seems that Fellow Daoist Shen doesn’t know much about the Strange Beast Gate. Or rather, you don’t have any immortal Dao experts of the human race by your side.” Shen Ping was slightly shocked. He secretly felt that he might have exposed some things, but he could only brace himself and laugh dryly. “Fellow Daoist Yin, why do you say that?”
-Any cultivator who can enter the Strange Beast Gate will be valued and taken care of by the Immortal Dao seniors of the various races. As for the information of the Strange Beast Gate, most of the elders will even carefully tell you. You don’t even know why the various races are hostile to you, so there naturally won’t be any Immortal Dao experts of the other races around you.” Yin Ting stared at Shen Ping. “It’s really surprising that you can reach this level without the guidance of an elder.”
Shen Ping hurriedly bowed and said, “Fellow Daoist Yin, please enlighten me.” Yin Ting looked sideways at the red magma not far away and said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Shen, do you know about the Myriad Spirit Ranking?
“I do.”
“The race ranking on the Myriad Spirit Ranking is closely related to the Strange Beast Gate. A Beast Pattern Golden Core has appeared in the human race and entered the Strange Beast Gate. The race ranking naturally attracts the attention of the various races, and the race ranking is related to the foundation and future of the race. Therefore, be it our Winged Race or the other races, we don’t want such a genius in the human race.
“Before the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared, the human race was a powerful race. Our Winged Race had once been protected by the human race. The potential of the human race far exceeded the other races. If the human race rises again, the other races, especially the demons, will probably not be able to eat or sleep in peace..”
