Underground Cave
The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes narrowed slightly. Xiao Yan's ability to escape from the hands of a third-order Little Lion King had already proven that his strength was definitely more than just that of a Dou Shi (Battle Master) on the surface.
It was just unknown to what extent Xiao Yan's limit could reach.
"The land is dead." Xiao Yan walked into the Beast Tomb. After three hundred years, it was still barren, the land completely dead.
One could imagine how tragic the battle back then was.
Xiao Yan followed behind the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, and as it had said, it would definitely not take action. If it weren't for the Transformation Pill, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King would never cooperate with humans.
Or rather, the Magical Beasts of the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range had no goodwill towards humans.
Miao! ψ(*｀ー)ψ Mao Wu seemed to have entered a buffet restaurant, piercing a claw into the body of a Ghost Shadow. The Void Swallowing Flame erupted, and in the Black Flame, those Ghost Shadows born from the resentment of those who died tragically in the war instantly turned into nothingness and were devoured by the Void Swallowing Flame.
Not to mention the Ghost Shadows of mere Dou Shi (Battle Master) or Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master), even a Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) shadow with an appearance similar to humans could not escape the devouring power of the Void Swallowing Flame.
The more the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King watched, the more solemn it became. It had guessed that Xiao Yan dared to enter the Beast Tomb after hearing about it because he must have his own trump card. But it didn't expect this trump card to be so fierce! "That Black Flame is not simple."
What puzzled the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King was that the Black Flame was clearly very weak. At first, when it saw it in the cave, its temperature was even lower than the Little Lion King's Purple Flame. Although it had grown somewhat now, it was only equivalent to the Little Lion King's Purple Flame.
Yet, it possessed a terrifying devouring ability. Once those troublesome Ghost Shadows were touched by it, they could not escape the fate of being burned to ashes.
One had to know that even the sixth-order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, was unwilling to enter the Beast Tomb, precisely because these Ghost Shadows were very difficult to deal with. Once touched, the Soul would be very painful, and some painful memories would flood into the mind.
If too many memories were mixed in, one might become someone else over time.
Finally, under the lead of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, Xiao Yan arrived at a huge Ground Fissure. This place was originally a vast land, but in the Dou Zong (neutral) war three hundred years ago, it had been broken through, and a huge Ground Fissure had formed on the ground.
Looking around, it seemed like there was no bottom in sight. The entire Ground Fissure was like a bottomless abyss, stretching for ten miles, making people shudder.
"This fissure was caused by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame."
After the master of the Magical Beast Mountain Range used the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to perish together with the seventh-grade Alchemist, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame became an unowned object, and the terrifying flames erupted uncontrollably, causing the current canyon.
The erupted Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame fell on the ground and melted the earth, creating this bottomless abyss.
"This is the power of a true Strange Flame, which can protect all beasts and also destroy the world." And this was only the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, which ranked twenty-second!
If the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in Xiao Yan's Storage Ring hadn't been refined by the previous owner of the Storage Ring and sealed within it, once it completely erupted, it would probably turn the surrounding dozens of miles into an ice world! "Mao Wu, stop eating. These low-level resentments don't have much effect on you anymore." Xiao Yan waved at Mao Wu, who was eating at the buffet.
Miao~, Mao Wu cried happily, shuttling through the void to return to Xiao Yan's side.
These low-level Ghost Shadows were not as nutritious as the beast resentment in Magic Cores. Xiao Yan had guessed that Strange Flames had a strong restraining effect on these monsters, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
The originally ferocious Ghost Shadows didn't even dare to approach Xiao Yan now. Their lack of intelligence made them instinctively fear the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame.
"As expected of the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame, which ranks second. What would the power of the real Void Swallowing Flame be like?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ponder.
"Let's go." After speaking, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King led Xiao Yan and jumped into the Ground Fissure in front of them like a giant mouth, disappearing into the darkness.
When Xiao Yan followed the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King into this bottomless abyss, he lit a fire and discovered that the space below was actually larger than the fissure above.
Moreover, in this underground area, there were many caves, crisscrossing and vertical, and if one walked in alone, one might get lost inside.
"These caves were dug out by countless Magical Beasts who came to find the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame over the past three hundred years. Only the Magical Beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range can sense the specific location of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. Even if you know the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame is here, you won't be able to find it." The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King said with a proud face.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at it. He was almost tricked by it. Without a Magical Beast to lead the way, it would be impossible to find the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.
No wonder the people from the Soul Palace (neutral) had only heard of it but couldn't find it.
Xiao Yan's nose twitched, and he looked towards the source of the fragrance, excitedly saying, "Hmm? This is... a Hundred-Year Earth Spirit Mushroom!!"
A Hundred-Year Earth Spirit Mushroom, the size of two palms, grew quietly in a corner of the cave. If Xiao Yan's nose wasn't so sensitive to the fragrance of medicinal herbs, he wouldn't have been able to discover this precious medicinal herb.
The Hundred-Year Earth Spirit Mushroom was one of the main medicinal herbs for refining the fourth-grade peak Spirit Breaking Pill. The effect of the Spirit Breaking Pill was the same as its name, to increase the success rate of breaking through to Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit). The success rate increased depending on the quality of the pill.
Xiao Yan licked his lips and carefully picked up the hammer and stone chisel, gently chiseling away the soil. When picking medicinal herbs, one must not injure the main body. Once the main body was injured, not only would the medicinal properties be lost, but it would also be easy to make mistakes when refining pills.
Carefully putting the dug-up Hundred-Year Earth Spirit Mushroom into the Storage Ring, Xiao Yan looked at the intricate underground world of this cave and excitedly said, "Could this be a treasure land?!"
Originally, after seeing the barren dead land above, Xiao Yan thought that the area below would also be an extremely dangerous dead land, but he didn't expect it to be a treasure land containing treasures!
The place where Strange Flames were born was originally prone to the birth of various exotic treasures. Although this was not the birthplace of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame had been here for three hundred years. With the nourishment of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, it was even easier for natural treasures to be born here.
In this underground area, many Magical Beasts had come to find the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame over the past three hundred years in order to temper their bodies and break through their bloodlines. The Magical Beasts would more or less carry some seeds of medicinal herbs, and as a result, these seeds took root and sprouted here. With the existence of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, there were many rare treasures here.
For a time, Xiao Yan was extremely excited and couldn't wait to dig up every inch of land here.
However, just as Xiao Yan was humming a little tune, indulging in the joy of harvest, suddenly! A black shadow silently drilled out of the soil behind him.
A venomous snake, only as thick as an arm, suddenly darted out, its sharp fangs bared, lunging towards Xiao Yan's nape.
"A Rank 2 Magical Beast dares to sneak attack me!" With a sneer, Xiao Yan turned around, his five fingers forming a claw, seizing the snake's vital spot. Black Flame instantly erupted from his palm, the terrifying heat incinerating the Rank 2 venomous snake into charcoal.
Xiao Yan's Soul strength was already comparable to a peak Rank 4 Alchemist, so how easy would it be to sneak attack him? Moreover, as an Alchemist, Xiao Yan knew that where there were natural treasures, there would inevitably be Magical Beasts.
What's more, this was the deepest part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so there were bound to be many Magical Beasts.
"This way." The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King merely glanced at it indifferently, said a word, and walked to the left.
These were just child's play; the real danger was yet to come.
However, what neither Xiao Yan nor the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King expected was that at the other end of the Ground Fissure in the Beast Tomb, two figures quietly jumped in from the other side.
