Celestial being

"Brother Yuan, did you find anything wrong?" Wu Lu frowned and asked.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't find any scent in the lake, but this makes me feel a little unreasonable... Anyway, let's all be careful for a while." Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

He did not use the first part of his soul to lower his consciousness to investigate. The part of the soul's soul power was weak, and it was more difficult to control the wish power in the White Jade Lotus Platform than the main body.

The first soul was exhausted from the repeated explorations before, and he was adjusting his breath at the moment.

"Okay." Long Chong rubbed his hands, already impatient.

After the discussion, several people immediately flew up and flew towards the center of the magma lake. With Yuan Ming's reminder, everyone was not very fast.

However, they had just flown seven to eight feet away when the lava in the magma lake beneath them suddenly began to boil. The violently rolling magma spewed out tongues of fire several feet high, scattering Yuan Ming and the others.

Immediately afterwards, a huge bubble swelled up, and a bloody mouth full of fangs suddenly appeared inside, and rushed up with the rising bubbles.

"Be careful!" Yuan Ming warned loudly and turned around to avoid it.

"boom"

The huge bubble exploded, revealing a huge crocodile that was three feet long and covered in fiery red scales. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at Yuan Ming.

A ball of fire lit up in his throat, and suddenly a stream of hot molten liquid as thick as an adult's arm shot out, shooting straight into Yuan Ming's chest like an arrow.

In a hurry, Yuan Ming summoned a silver shield and blocked it in front of him, and the light on the shield rotated.

This thing was obtained from the owner Liu of Liulan Island before. It was relatively strong and durable, so he refined it casually.

The arrow-like lava hit the silver shield.

With a soft "chi" sound, the silver shield melted like a candle and burned through a large hole. The hot magma continued to hit Yuan Ming's chest, but its power was greatly reduced.

Yuan Ming's heart trembled, he raised a small silver flag to ward off the lava, and took the opportunity to move sideways.

Although the red fire crocodile was huge, its movements were extremely flexible. It slapped its tail hard in the magma, easily changed its direction, and continued to pounce towards Yuan Ming.

But at this moment, Yuan Ming's figure suddenly swayed and turned into dozens of blurry afterimages, running towards various parts of the magma lake, causing the red fire crocodile to lose its target and throw it away.

On the other side, Long Chong and others also jumped out of the giant flaming crocodile. Long Chong gripped his spear tightly and shuttled through the void like a dragon, dodging the molten arrows of a fire crocodile before stabbing with his spear.

If Yuan Ming hadn't reminded him in time, he would have been burned by the lava.

As soon as he thought of this, Long Chong's anger turned into power and spat out along the tip of the spear.

His figure was seen spinning in the void, as if the whole person and the spear were merged into one, turning into a cone-shaped waterspout in mid-air, and stabbing towards the top of the fire crocodile's head.

"Chichi..."

The thick water vapor collided with the firepower emanating from the Fire Crocodile, and a large amount of white mist emerged, covering both of their figures. There was a sharp sound of metal clashing inside.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang"

Following a series of sparks splashing up, Long Chong's figure swept back, cursing and shouting:

"Be careful, the skin of these beasts is too thick. Even though I hit almost with all my strength, I couldn't penetrate the crocodile armor!"

After escaping, Long Chong glanced at Qiongyun subconsciously.

She was currently controlling Yu Ruyi to form a circular protective light curtain, blocking the front and rear attacks from the two fire crocodiles.

The two fire crocodiles kept spitting lava that was far more terrifying than the lava in the magma lake. In just a few clicks, her protective light curtain was burned to the point of collapse.

Upon seeing this, Long Chong rushed over and stabbed one of the fire crocodiles with his spear.

His cold dragon spirit beast appeared, its body shrunk several times, like a small snake wrapped around a spear, opening its mouth to spit out the fire crocodile.

A dazzling blue light erupted from the tip of the gun, and an extremely cold force swept across all directions, suppressing the surrounding hot atmosphere.

Half of the Fire Crocodile's body was suddenly covered in white ice, his movements became stiff, and his huge body was blown away by the spear.

Long Chong's body was also shaken and shot backwards. He pulled the sky cloud and flew out of the magma lake.

After the two landed, they both panted slightly. The situation was extremely critical just now, and the fierce fighting in this moment took a lot of energy from both of them.

Not far away, Ulu also escaped from the magma area. Half of his body was burned black and half of his hair was burned off.

Ulu was also besieged by two fire crocodiles just now. He used his magic weapon to resist the lava attack spouted by one of the fire crocodiles before he escaped, but he was also seriously injured.

"Where's Brother Yuan?" Long Chong took a breath and asked, looking around.

He had not paid attention to Yuan Ming's situation just now, but at this time, there was nothing above the magma lake, and there was no sign of him.

However, he was not too worried. After all, in his opinion, Yuan Ming was no worse than him in terms of strength and experience in dealing with risks and changes, so he naturally had ways to protect himself.

"There is no place to hide here, is it over there?" Qiongyun suddenly raised his head and pointed to the center of the lake and said.

At this time, in the center of the lake, magma surged violently, forming waves of magma several feet high, hitting the Earth Fire Lotus in the center of the lake from all directions, covering it layer by layer, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

Just as Long Chong and Wulu were sounding away, threads of white light crisscrossed each other like sharp blades, cutting nearly half of the magma wave into pieces.

Along with a burst of thunder, a thick silver lightning shot out from the center of the lake, instantly spanning a distance of tens of feet, and landed near the three people, revealing the figures of Yuan Ming and Lei Yu.

Leiyu's body was scorched black in many places, and many of his feathers were burned off. Yuan Ming's sleeves were half burned, and he looked a little embarrassed. However, a red light flashed in his right hand, and he was holding an Earth Fire Lotus.

"Haha, as expected, Brother Yuan's skill is so good that he got a fire lotus." Long Chong laughed.

"I got it by luck." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

He just cast a large-scale illusion spell on the fire crocodiles in the lake. He used the illusion spell to hide his whereabouts. Taking advantage of the chaos, he came to the black rock area in the center of the lake, intending to steal a few fire lotuses. Unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped out of the center of the lake. Seven or eight even larger fire crocodiles could sense his presence and control the lava to attack him.

The situation was urgent, Yuan Ming used Hanyuejie to forcefully break through the magma waves, grabbed an Earth Fire Lotus, and then summoned a thunderstorm to escape.

However, there were too many fire crocodiles in the center of the lake and their strength was too strong. Yuan Ming was not able to completely escape and suffered some minor injuries.

More than a dozen fire crocodiles chased after them with blazing eyes, and Yuan Ming and others hurriedly retreated again.

The fire crocodiles only chased them to the lake, but did not land. After roaring at a few people, their bodies began to sink into the magma lake.

"It seems that these fire crocodiles will not leave the magma lake." Uru said.

Yuan Ming and others were convinced as they watched the Fire Crocodile slowly sink into the magma, its aura completely disappearing without even a trace remaining.

The four people all looked surprised. Their consciousnesses were tracking these fire crocodiles. As soon as these crocodiles sank into the lava lake, they suddenly disappeared, and all their consciousnesses were lost.

"How is this possible? Could it be that the bodies of these fire crocodiles are made of magma? When they enter the lake, they melt into it?" Qiong Yun's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"In my opinion, those fire crocodiles are all made of flesh and blood, and they may be proficient in some superb concealment techniques." Long Chong guessed as he touched his chin.

Yuan Ming ignored the fire crocodiles and cast a recovery spell on his right hand while looking at the fire lotus in his hand.

"Is this the Earth Core Fire Lotus? Try it quickly and see if the effect is really as good as the rumors say?" Qiong Yun urged with a curious look on his face.

Wulu swallowed two healing pills, and most of his burns had recovered. At this time, he was looking at the red light flashing fire lotus in Yuan Ming's hand with interest.

Yuan Ming nodded and sat down on a nearby big rock. Leiyu and Huazhi were crouching there on the left and right, while Wulu and the other three stood further away to protect Yuan Ming.

According to Long Chong, Yuan Ming didn't need to do anything, and immediately broke off a petal of the Earth Fire Lotus.

The petals are as thin as thin ice crystals, and the tentacles are warm and have the texture of jade.

Yuan Ming looked at it for a moment and then put the petal into his mouth.

A faint aroma filled his mouth, and the petals as thin as ice crystals melted instantly, mixed with the body fluids in his mouth, and slid into his belly.

After waiting for a moment, Yuan Ming didn't feel any discomfort, but similarly, he didn't feel any changes, so he couldn't help but look at Long Chong.

"Don't look at me, I've never eaten this thing... maybe you ate too little?" Long Chong said with his hands spread out.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment, then broke off the petals one by one and put them into his mouth.

After he swallowed all the petals, he chewed and swallowed the remaining stamens and stems, and a faint heat appeared, not strong.

Yuan Ming used his magic power to try to refine the heat, but there was a sudden "boom" in his lower abdomen, as if a fire had risen, and a stream of hot air rushed up, instantly making his entire face flush. flushed.

He immediately felt an extremely rich spiritual power, which was swimming uncontrollably in his body, swelling the eight extraordinary meridians and making them extremely hot. If left untreated, they would almost burst.

Yuan Ming felt severe pain all over his body and grinned for a while, but he felt happy in his heart. He immediately meditated to refine and absorb the spiritual power.

The nearby spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also attracted, and poured into his body like a tide, forming a faint spiritual energy vortex.

When Long Chong and others saw this, their hearts were relieved at first, and they couldn't help but show envy on their faces.

In just a moment, the spiritual power was completely refined by Yuan Ming, turned into mana, and entered the Dantian.

And there was a scene of boiling mana in his Dantian. His cultivation had improved greatly in this moment, and he had directly reached the peak state of the early stage of pill formation, only a thin line away from the middle stage.

Yuan Ming could feel that as long as he took one more Earth Core Fire Lotus, he would be able to directly break through to the middle stage of pill formation.

In addition, his flesh has also been tempered, with many black impurities seeping out of his pores, and both his muscles and bones have been greatly strengthened.
