【Chapter 065】Flame of Thunder God
Seeing this, Nangong Chenyu expanded the range of his spiritual sense's exploration.
Soon he discovered a wide river not far away. His steps turned imperceptibly and ran towards the river.
Of course he could kill two thunder tigers. But as long as he took action, he would definitely be noticed by the nearby monks. He didn't want to become the target of public criticism at this moment.
The thunder tiger is large in size and fast in speed.
Nangong Chenyu took advantage of the cover of the tall trees in the forest and advanced in an S-shaped route, making it impossible for the Thunder Tiger to do anything to him for a while.
Soon, the wide river appeared in his sight. It was about three hundred meters from his position to the river, and there were no tall trees in this distance.
Without using his spiritual energy, it would take him at least 40 to 50 seconds to reach the river at his fastest speed. But if it is a Thunder Tiger, it only takes five seconds.
So he didn't run over immediately, but instead circled around with the two thunder tigers.
Tall trees fell down due to the impact of the thunder tiger.
The reason why the thunder tigers did not launch lightning attacks on Nangong Chenyu was because they were worried that the lightning would smash Nangong Chenyu into pieces. Then the treasures they wanted would naturally be gone.
Every time Nangong Chenyu was able to dodge the falling tree just right.
When the two thunder tigers were trapped in the middle by the trees they had knocked down, Nangong Chenyu quickly ran towards the river through the crisscrossing trees.
Seeing that their prey had run away, the two thunder tigers stopped ramming their bodies against the trees and instead opened their mouths to spit out balls of lightning.
With a loud "boom", the trees that were originally blocking the two thunder tigers were turned into ashes.
Without looking back, Nangong Chenyu knew that the two thunder tigers were about to catch up. His feet were so fast that he had left an afterimage, and he tried his best to restrain himself from using spiritual energy.
Just because the two Thunder Tigers made too much noise, five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators who were flying in the air with swords could not help but stop and watch.
"Do you think that mortal can survive?"
"The secret realm is full of monsters. He, a mortal, is lucky to survive one day." The implication is that the other party will not survive more than two days.
"Yes, there are more than eighty mortals coming in, and he is the first one we met."
The only female cultivator among them couldn't bear it: "Should we rescue him?"
A male cultivator sneered, "How can we save him? There are more monsters in this secret realm than we thought, and most of them are level two. If we save him now and don't bring him with us, he will die in the mouth of a monster sooner or later. In this case, why should we do this?"
As for bringing the person with them, none of them had ever thought about it. They came here to look for resources for cultivation, and naturally did not want to miss any opportunity because of a mortal.
They were all just ordinary inner disciples of various sects. Because the sect leaders did not know the dangers of this secret realm, they were reluctant to send their own disciples here, so it was their turn.
When the two thunder tigers were about to catch up with him, Nangong Chenyu dived into the river.
"thump!"
The two thunder tigers barely stopped at the river bank.
The river is the territory of other monsters. Although the Thunder Tigers can swim, when fighting in the water, they kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own.
So, the Thunder Tiger did not jump into the river, but just stood by the river and roared at the river.
“Roar, roar, roar~”
In mid-air, one of the male monks said, “I didn’t expect that this would allow him to escape disaster.”
"Not necessarily." Another male cultivator pointed to the river: "Look."
I saw a giant python as thick as a bucket swimming slowly towards where Nangong Chenyu was.
The two thunder tigers naturally discovered the giant python as well. The treasure at their fingertips was about to fall into the mouths of other monsters, and they were very unwilling to see it.
But no matter how unwilling they were, they did not impulsively jump into the river. After roaring a few more times into the river, the two turned around and returned to the forest.
The cultivators in the air seemed to have foreseen Nangong Chenyu's end. Before the giant python swallowed Nangong Chenyu, they flew away on their swords.
The giant python discovered that the thunder tiger by the river and the human above its head had left, so it immediately accelerated and swam towards Nangong Chenyu. When it got close to Nangong Chenyu, it couldn't wait to open its bloody mouth.
Nangong Chenyu used his spiritual energy to rush out of the river.
“Crash!”
Half of the giant python's body followed Nangong Chenyu out of the water.
Nangong Chenyu could not fly in the air, so after rushing out of the water, he had no leverage and fell vertically into the river. And the place where he fell was exactly the mouth of the giant python.
With a thought, a magic sword appeared in Nangong Chenyu's hand. Finding the right moment, he placed the magic sword against the python's mouth, using it as leverage to turn over and step onto the river surface. Then he used his water skills to quickly run towards the river bank.
The giant python swung its tail, causing the river water to ripple, but it failed to stop Nangong Chenyu from returning to the shore. After a few moves, the giant python followed Nangong Chenyu to the river.
After being some distance away from the river, Nangong Chenyu stopped and turned around to face the giant python that was chasing him.
Holding the magic sword tightly in his hand, Nangong Chenyu performed the divine step, leaving a afterimage on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he was at the python's weakest point.
Fortunately, the giant python raised its head as it crawled forward, making it convenient for Nangong Chenyu to strike it in the vital spot with the sword.
“Poof~”
The sword body sank into the giant python's body, and Nangong Chenyu kept inputting thunder-attributed spiritual energy into the sword, hoping to kill the giant python with one sword.
However, he didn't input much spiritual energy before the spiritual sword in his hand died. The sword was hanging on the giant python's seven inches, and he only had the hilt in his hand.
Just before the giant python's head fell, he quickly dodged to the side.
The giant python lowered its head because of pain. However, he didn't expect that the spiritual sword, which was only half-into, would penetrate completely into its vital point.
After twitching a few times, the giant python died.
Nangong Chenyu blinked.
A level 2 python is so easy to kill!
He hasn't even used his full strength yet.
Taking out another first-level spiritual sword, Nangong Chenyu used it to quickly peel off the giant python's skin and dig out the giant python's demon core. He walked quickly into the woods before the others arrived.
The route he was walking was exactly the direction where the two thunder tigers disappeared.
Half an hour later.
Nangong Chenyu felt a rare thunder-attributed spiritual energy in the air, which could only mean that there were thunder-attributed treasures nearby. I think it should be the thing guarded by the two thunder tigers.
He continued walking forward without stopping.
Just as he thought, the further he walked forward, the thicker the thunder-attributed spiritual energy in the air became.
As he walked, he discovered that more than twenty cultivators appeared within the range that his spiritual sense could detect. These monks were standing in front of a cave, working together to attack the barrier outside the cave.
The two thunder tigers are inside the cave.
He was so sure because he left a mark of his spiritual consciousness on the two thunder tigers.
After observing for a while, Nangong Chenyu knew that the barrier was not so easy to break. It would take at least three days for a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators to accomplish this.
Naturally, he was curious about what was in the cave. So he simply found a secluded place, rested there, and had something to eat.
Before I knew it, it was night.
The number of cultivators outside the cave increased from more than twenty to more than forty. Before they saw the treasure, everyone worked together to attack the barrier.
Nangong Chenyu took advantage of the closure of the portable space to try to practice. As soon as he started to practice his mental skills, spiritual energy from all directions gathered towards him and rushed into his body.
He was quite a distance away from the cave, so he was not worried about being discovered.
When the sky was just getting light, Nangong Chenyu's cultivation level broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining. He stopped practicing and released his spiritual sense to investigate the situation outside the cave.
Some monks were attacking the barrier, some were resting, and some were recovering their spiritual energy.
After retracting his spiritual consciousness, Nangong Chenyu continued to practice.
The time spent in cultivation always passed very quickly, and soon it was evening.
While Nangong Chenyu was still immersed in his cultivation, the cultivators outside the cave in the distance started fighting.
Just because a purple flame flew out of the cave.
Everybody is fighting for it.
The purple flame flew in front of this person and then flew in front of that person. It shuttled through the crowd, as if looking for a suitable owner.
Everyone looked at it eagerly, hoping that it would choose them.
If anyone sees it flying into someone's body, as long as that person is not from the same sect, the others will immediately attack that person. People who know each other will immediately offer help.
After everyone started fighting, purple flames flew out from the man's dantian again.
Just like that, the purple flame penetrated into the dantian of a cultivator. But in less than five minutes, it flew out of that man's body again and drilled into the dantian of another cultivator.
Playing everyone around in circles.
After repeating this seven or eight times, all the monks present were injured to varying degrees. The purple flame has not yet recognized its master.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "This strange fire is clearly playing tricks on us."
This person's words were affirmed by everyone, but no one agreed with them. The strange fire obviously has intelligence. It is just playing tricks on them and does not want to take their lives.
If you are not careful enough, you will be burned to ashes if you recognize the master of the strange fire.
What if they offended the strange fire and it burned them directly?
The strange fire that was flying through the crowd heard what the man said, and flew directly to the man's head, burning his hair with fire.
As soon as everyone saw the fire, the next moment, they saw a shiny bald head.
Since the strange fire has no intention of killing people, its methods can be described as gentle.
The man whose hair was burned by the strange fire only felt a chill on his head, and then everyone looked at him with strange eyes. He subconsciously reached out to touch his head, only to find that his hair was gone.
"Ah!" he uttered a miserable cry. He quickly turned his back to everyone, took out a hooded cloak and put it on to cover his head.
His companion patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it will grow back."
"It won't grow anymore. The roots of my hair are all burned." the man said sullenly.
The others had complicated expressions and were relieved in their hearts.
The strange fire discovered that after burning one person's hair, everyone seemed happy. Then, it started burning the second person's hair.
Once there is a second one, there will be a third one.
It was okay for a male cultivator to have his hair burned, but when a female cultivator’s hair was burned, she burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, the other female cultivators quickly slipped away.
Although the strange fire is good, they cannot accept themselves without hair. The most important thing is, if things continue like this, they suspect that the strange fire will burn not only their hair but also their clothes.
Soon half of the monks became bald.
A half-step Jindan cultivator said loudly to everyone: "It is best for everyone to work together now."
Someone immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Qi, how do you think we can work together?"
The monk named Qi said: "Next, no matter who the strange fire chooses, no one else can attack it. No one knows what it will do next, so it would be best if someone can recognize it as their master right now."
He spoke cryptically, but everyone understood what he meant. The ownerless strange fire can do whatever it wants. I’m afraid it will start a massacre.
The purple flame is the flame of the God of Thunder, and is most suitable for the contract of cultivators with fire and thunder spiritual roots.
Among the people present, the cultivators who did not have fire or thunder spiritual roots immediately spoke up to agree with what Monk Qi said.
Among the remaining people, twelve have fire spiritual roots and one has thunder spiritual root. Lei Linggen had never thought about contracting the strange fire, and he agreed to Monk Qi's proposal.
Others agreed.
In order to prevent everyone from going back on their word, Monk Qi took the lead in swearing the Heavenly Oath.
After everyone present had taken the oath, a cultivator with fire spirit roots immediately took out a box of fire spirit crystals. His name is Shan Sihao, and what Monk Qi said just now was actually laying the foundation for his next action.
Before coming to the secret realm, Shan Sihao knew that there was the Yanlei Divine Flame in the secret realm, so he made preparations early.
He is determined to obtain the Yanlei Divine Flame.
Sensing the breath of the Fire Spirit Crystal, the Thunder God Flame immediately flew towards Shan Sihao.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the Yanlei Divine Flame, and naturally they also saw the Fire Spirit Crystal in Shan Sihao's hand.
"As long as you recognize me as your master, I will give you more Fire Spirit Crystals in the future." Shan Sihao let the Yanlei God Flame wrap around the Fire Spirit Crystal.
The others followed suit and took out fire-attributed treasures in an attempt to attract the Flame of Thunder God.
It’s a pity that the rare treasures they took out failed to attract the attention of Yan Lei Shen Yan.
There are ten Fire Spirit Crystals in a box. After Yan Lei Shen Yan finished eating them, he burped and flew towards the cave slowly.
Shan Sihao didn't expect that Yan Lei Shen Yan would get it for free.
The others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yan Lei Shen Yan did not recognize his master, they would have a chance.
Although he was annoyed, Shan Sihao had already anticipated this situation. He took out a golden net-shaped magic weapon, threw it into the air, and then made a hand gesture and pointed at the Flame of Thunder God.
The golden net-shaped magic weapon flashed and disappeared from the spot. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Yan Lei Shen Yan.
The flying Yan Lei Shen Yan fell into the trap and was caught by the golden net-like magic weapon.
The golden net-shaped magic weapon is called the Fire Catching Net, which is specifically used to target strange fire and heavenly fire.
The Yanlei Divine Flame was firmly caught in the net. It wanted to become bigger, but it became smaller and smaller. Previously, everything could be burned, but now even a net cannot be burned.
Seeing that Yan Lei Shen Yan was subdued, several cultivators with fire spiritual roots became restless.
Shan Sihao stretched out his hand and the fire net flew back into his hand. He simply collected the Yanlei Divine Flame, intending to ask the elders of his family to help him recognize its master after he returned.
Several people who were on good terms with Shan Sihao immediately surrounded him.
Monk Qi stood in front of Shan Sihao, blocking the prying eyes of others: "Everyone, don't forget that you just made a heavenly oath."
