Strange mountains and rivers

When Xiong Zhuang arrived, he only saw this scene.

A body embedded in the rock on the cliff was still burning.

There was a bulge on the ground, which showed that it was a human body, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

The two bodies rolled up in the air were also surrounded by the fire wave, and seemed to be struggling helplessly. If there was no external force, it would be in vain. The furious fire mane lion below had already jumped up to tear them apart.

There was another figure going crazy in the bushes and woods, but it seemed to be at the end of its strength, and its steps were staggering. When Xiong Zhuang arrived, it fell to the ground with a bang.

The furious Xiong Zhuang instantly transformed into a giant bear with a height of 15 feet, roaring and rushing towards the fire mane lion with great agility.

The fire mane lion also felt the unparalleled momentum of Xiong Zhuang's charge, but the anger brought by being injured and mad by its companions also made it eager to fight to vent its anger.

The golden mane bloomed, and the flames floated slowly, like a red sun releasing hot waves of fire on its body.

When Xiong Zhuang was only twenty steps away from the Fire Mane Lion, he suddenly jumped up and stamped his feet on the ground. At this time, a ball of Xuanhuang Divine Soil was swallowed into his stomach.

In an instant, the eight-foot-deep mud within five steps rose up and wrapped around Xiong Zhuang's body, turning Xiong Zhuang into a three-foot-tall mud and stone giant and rushing forward.

Two huge air waves collided with each other, spreading out to the surroundings with the lion-bear collision point as the center.

The rolling flames turned the entire ten-foot area into a sea of ​​fire, and the exploded mud and rocks swept around like a storm.

The painful Fire Mane Lion roared and jumped thirty steps away, grabbed the Fire Mane Lion that had been seriously injured and fell to the ground, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Xiong Zhuang, who had turned into a fire bear, stood at the center of the explosion point and let the flames burn him.

This is the domineering power of a third-level beast. Even if he has realized the Purple Mansion, he still has no advantage when facing the opponent directly.

If Chen Huaisheng had not prepared a set of heart-protecting armor for himself before, he would not be able to stand up after the desperate collision just now, and the fire poison of the fire-maned lion would probably go straight into his internal organs.

This was made by Chen Huaisheng using the scales left on the dragon skin and a special mineral material to strengthen it. He was worried that he would use it to escape when encountering a fourth-level monster, but he did not expect to use it to fight the fire-maned lion.

Without the ball of Xuanhuang Divine Soil, he would still die.

Xuanhuang Divine Soil is not a sacred object for protecting Yuan Baodan, nor does it have the function of improving spiritual power, but it is an earth-based divine object. When it enters the stomach, it automatically combines with the earth-based spells that he has launched, and can play a protective role when he withstands the opponent's fire element impact.

However, there are side effects. To spit this thing out, you have to cleanse your entire body's meridians and marrow at the same time, otherwise the earth-based divine power that penetrates into the meridians will solidify the meridians and marrow, and you will gradually become a real mud and stone giant.

This was also a sudden inspiration that he had to do, but now it seems that he really used it right, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to use it.

Compared with this third-level superior beast, his strength is still much inferior. This is only a third-level beast close to a fourth-level monster. I don’t know if he has a chance to escape when he really encounters a fourth-level monster?

No wonder Lao Long said that he is still far behind. Without more than ten years of practice, he is not worthy of fighting him.

…

Chen Huaisheng only felt that he was floating in the lava mud, ups and downs.

Sometimes he fell into the abyss, the magma submerged him, and he couldn’t breathe. The burning heat that penetrated into his bones continued to penetrate along the nostrils, ears, eye sockets, and throat, gradually penetrating every inch of his body, and even the entire pores and hair tips were burning.

Sometimes he floated to the surface, and the body after the burn seemed to have been reborn, frantically feeling the external breath, allowing himself to breathe, but then sank into the magma again.

Over and over again.

The greatest pain does not come from the body, but from the spiritual root in the body.

The spiritual root explodes, and the spiritual essence is released as mana, which can kill the fire mane lion in one blow, otherwise it will die directly.

This is the price that must be paid.

Before the battle, Chen Huaisheng had not thought about self-destructing the spiritual root. He once thought about exploding the Dan Yuan gradually in exchange, but when he felt the unparalleled Yuan power of the fire mane lion, he realized that the gradual explosion of the Dan Yuan might not achieve the goal, and if it exploded completely, it would be better to self-destruct the spiritual root.

After all, he has newly generated a second spiritual root.

Although the new spiritual root (spiritual vine) is still in a rather weak budding stage, it has passed the initial stage of the initial spiritual bud and connected together to become a real spiritual root.

Rather than letting the Yuan Dan explode and spending an uncertain time to recover, it is better to self-destruct the spiritual root and let the old spiritual root play its residual heat to save himself.

Although Chen Huaisheng also hoped that the new spiritual root could be absorbed and compatible with the new spiritual root in order to grow rapidly, he would rather explode his spiritual root to take a chance when there was not much choice at this time.

The explosion of the spiritual root caused a huge void to appear in the whole body. The new spiritual root (spiritual vine) was still very weak and could not fill the original spiritual root at all, let alone bear the role of the original spiritual root, so Chen Huaisheng was trapped in this endless ups and downs.

The meridians of the whole body were also impacted.

The Yuanli released by the self-explosion of the spiritual root was emitted through the meridians, instantly expanding the meridians several times, and no normal meridian could bear it.

Under normal circumstances, the self-detonation of the spirit essence and spirit root will directly destroy the meridians.

And then even if the cultivators who survived by chance wanted to rebuild, they actually had to face the two major problems of rebuilding the Yuandan and rebuilding the meridians.

Duguo has not recovered from the self-detonation until now, and it is difficult to return to the Purple Mansion. In addition to the failure of the Danyuan to recover, the failure of the meridians to fully heal is also an important reason.

Chen Huaisheng is slightly different now.

He once wanted to impact the fifth level of foundation building before the monster beast tide came. Although he knew that this was a bit illusory, he still tried hard because of his solid and heavy Dao bone and the help of many spiritual treasures. However, the monster beast tide came too fast, which made his dream fall through.

However, the abundant spiritual treasures in the early stage still laid a good foundation for his Dao bone and meridians, which was another factor that made him dare to self-detonate with spiritual roots.

The fierce impact failed to completely destroy Chen Huaisheng's meridians, but the damage was inevitable.

The tiny ruptures and fractures in the meridians and the cracks in the Dao bones all bloomed at this moment, reflecting on the body, which was still endless pain.

Chen Huaisheng felt that he had experienced this kind of struggle for survival before, but it had never been as profound as this time.
