Chapter 156 Blazing Flame King
The days at Qiongbi Peak were as peaceful as usual.
Ning Daoran lives a secluded life, rarely goes out, and practices cultivation, farms, raises fish, and feeds insects every day, completely enjoying it.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 114 years old.
Inside the insect room.
"Hiss~~~"
With sounds as light as those of mosquitoes, flying star centipedes hid among the meat and spiritual herbs and feasted on them. Every now and then, one or two of them would flap their wings and fly up, dancing their slender and enchanting bodies back and forth in the insect house.
"Not bad~~"
Ning Daoran had a smile on his face.
At this time, after two years of reproduction, the Flying Star Centipede has now grown to 42, and the patterns on the backs of the first four are becoming more and more dense, showing signs of breaking through the level of evolution! He gently tapped the storage bag, and suddenly a green ruler flew out.
This ruler is a first-grade, mid-quality magic weapon, and it came from the storage bag of Mr. Bai Ming.
However, the middle part of the ruler was severely damaged and was thrown into the storage bag by Master Bai Ming like garbage.
For a moment, the Flying Star Centipedes seemed to smell the spiritual energy in the magic weapon and swarmed over in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, a group of flying star centipedes opened their mouths wide and started biting the broken magic weapon with a grunting sound.
In less than a cup of tea, only half of the ruler was left. Along with the material being eaten away, a large amount of the magical energy was devoured.
"Is that so...?"
Ning Daoran let out a light breath. It was recorded in the books collected in the library that an adult Flying Star Centipede could not only gnaw on magical instruments and spiritual weapons, but could even gnaw on the restrictions of formations!
Therefore, if you raise a sufficient number of Flying Star Centipedes, they can directly chew through a high-level formation in a short period of time!
Because of this, the flying star centipede is so precious! Looking at the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, apart from the ten major sects, it seems that no cultivator is still feeding the flying star centipede, a rare insect.
I really found a treasure!
Ning Daoran was full of confidence. He had to feed these flying star centipedes well, as they would be of great use in the future! ...
But at this moment, a sound transmission note flew into the small cloud and mist formation.
Ning Daoran immediately flew into the air and held the sound transmission talisman in his hand. From the talisman came a message from the great elder Yang Yan, asking Ning Daoran to go to the inner gate hall.
The hall was deserted.
Gong Yangyan made a long story short.
A spirit stone mine of Chaos Sect in Lingnan was recently attacked by a second-stage early stage demon beast, the Blazing Flame King Earthworm. The formation was loosened, and Lin Sheng had gone there three days ago.
Due to the shortage of manpower, the inner sect decided to let Ning Daoran go to the Lingnan Spirit Stone Mine as well, to guard the protective formation together with Lin Sheng and repel the second-stage early stage monster.
Ning Daoran took the lead and immediately took Big Dumb Deer and Little Blackie down the mountain to the Lingnan Lingshi Mine.
Half a day later.
There was a foggy atmosphere in the woods ahead. When Ning Daoran scanned it with his spiritual sense, he found that there was a lot of residual demonic energy.
After flying over a mountain, they saw the Chaos Sect's flag flying on a mountain peak.
Outside the mine, there are houses connected to each other, which are the residences of the spirit stone miners and the sect disciples who guard the mines.
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Lin Sheng came out of the mine and said with a smile: "You are here!"
"Um."
Ning Daoran floated down, followed by the big stupid deer, and asked, "Brother Lin, what's the situation now?"
"It's not good."
Lin Sheng glanced at the area not far away and saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all covered with white cloth.
"The Blazing King Earthworm attacked the mine like crazy early this morning, killing not only many miners but also three inner sect disciples."
His expression was filled with weariness: "By the time I made my move, it was already too late. This Blazing Flame King Earthworm was very cunning. After seeing the Foundation Establishment cultivator, he immediately fled."
Ning Daoran checked the deaths of several inner disciples. They were all killed with one strike. Their bodies were smashed to pieces, and some were even burnt black. This was enough to show how powerful the Blazing King Earthworm was.
"knew."
Ning Daoran said: "Brother, you can take the other disciples to guard the miners' entrance. Old Deer and I will go to the depths of the mine to take a look."
"Um."
Lin Sheng nodded and smiled: "You and Junior Brother Lu are both at the foundation building stage. Logically speaking, one person and one deer can definitely crush the Blazing Flame King Worm together, but you still have to be careful. I will send a few inner disciples who have completed Qi Refining to go with you?"
“No need.”
Ning Daoran immediately took the white deer and transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the depths of the mine.
The path in the mine is winding and tortuous.
Ning Daoran spread out his spiritual sense, carefully capturing all the breath of the Blazing King Worm in the mine.
Soon it was basically confirmed that this monster living underground was very good at digging holes, and could sense the breath of humans underground, so every attack was launched from underground.
As for the attack and retreat routes of the Blazing King Earthworm, Ning Daoran basically knew them at a glance.
"Brother, stop mining for a few days. I will try to catch this Blazing King Earthworm." He sent a sound transmission note to Lin Sheng.
Not long after, Lin Sheng's sound transmission note flew down, telling them to be extra careful.
"Old Deer, use the Turtle Breathing Technique to restrain your breath."
Ning Daoran glanced at the big stupid deer and said with a smile: "Your shape-changing skill is so powerful, don't scare the monster."
“Ah~~”
The big stupid deer raised its head and let out a cry, quickly practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique, and immediately the aura of the spiritual beast in its body was reduced to an almost undetectable level.
Ning Daoran also used the breath-concealing technique to reduce his own breath to the lowest level, then he slapped his storage bag, and a series of formation flags and formation plates flew out.
After continuously chanting the spells, the formation flags and formation plates flew in different directions. Within a few breaths, a second-order lower-grade Cang Hai Xuan Bing Formation had been completely set up.
Ning Daoran planned to use this trap to trap the Blazing King Earthworm, capture it alive and bring it back to the mountain gate, so as to give an explanation to the great elder Yang Yan.
Next, it’s just a matter of waiting.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
The Blazing King Earthworm still disappeared, and the big stupid deer gradually lost his patience and stepped lightly with his hooves.
"Just be patient."
Ning Daoran gently touched the deer's head and sent a soothing voice.
Soon after, a strong evil aura came from deep within the earth.
“Here it comes!”
Ning Daoran's eyes lit up, and the big stupid deer instantly became alert, with a pair of bright lights flashing in its eyes! "Zizi~~~"
From deep underground, the sound of soil and mineral veins being pushed away was heard. Soon after, Ning Daoran's consciousness was locked onto a huge monster.
It really is a second-level Blazing King Earthworm, a monster with both fire and earth attributes.
However, the sect's intelligence was wrong. Ning Daoran's soul was so powerful that he saw through the true cultivation level of the Blazing King Earthworm at a glance. It was actually a mid-stage second-order demon beast, and was only one step away from the late second stage.
"I'm... "
He couldn't help but feel a little scared, and it was also Lin Sheng's good luck.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If this Blazing King Earthworm had not hidden its power, Lin Sheng and the dozen or so inner sect disciples would have been in trouble.
However, why did this Blazing Flame King Earthworm hide his cultivation? To fish? He sneered. He was caught. Should this Blazing Flame King Earthworm be satisfied? After a few dozen breaths, the sound of the Blazing Flame King Earthworm's movements continued to come from underground. After a stone wall in the mine cave collapsed, a second-level Blazing Flame King Earthworm covered in flames appeared in the field of vision.
"rise!"
Ning Daoran activated the formation instantly, and suddenly a vast sea of black ice formation rose up, trapping the Blazing Flame King Earthworm inside.
“Wow~~~”
The trapped Blazing King Earthworm actually let out a weird sound like a pig being slaughtered.
"Now, old deer, go!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and took out the Qinglong Spear from the storage bag, and went side by side with the big stupid deer.
For a moment, the Blazing King Earthworm in the Canghai Xuanbing Formation howled angrily and spit out magma all over the sky from its mouth.
“Yo yo!”
The big stupid deer let out a loud deer cry, and spiritual energy gushed out of its body, isolating a large piece of magma behind its body. Then it lowered its head and dived, and its pair of antlers burst into a light several meters long!
"Bang!"
The half of the bloated body of the Blazing King Earthworm hidden underground was pushed out in an instant.
Ning Daoran's body was in the air, the eighteen levels of the Evergreen Art were flowing, and the entire Qinglong Spear was wrapped in rich green wood-attributed magic power. In an instant, he fiercely lashed out at the head of the Blazing King Worm.
Amid the loud noise, countless evil spirits scattered.
The Blazing King Earthworm howled in pain, but its body was still twisted violently, and accompanied by a crackling sound, it seemed that some changes were taking place in its body.
"wrong……"
Ning Daoran took a closer look and found that the body of the Blazing King Earthworm was like bamboo joints, with a fiery red ring at each node, and at this moment, the ring was constantly emitting a golden luster.
Moreover, a strong aura of demonic beast, far stronger than before, is rapidly awakening in the body of the Blazing King Earthworm!
"No?"
Ning Daoran frowned, playing the game of breaking through the realm before the battle? Could it be that this Blazing Flame King thought he was the protagonist of the story? He drew the Qinglong Spear in his hand, and the Jade Knife, Autumn Water Sword, etc. were sacrificed one by one. I am going to kill the protagonist! Of course, the third-level magic weapon and the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation were not used at all. These things that involve exposing one's own background do not need to be used in such occasions.
In the blink of an eye, the Blazing Flame King Earthworm evolved into a second-stage late-stage demon beast! It trembled all over, offering violent demonic energy, and continuously attacking the Canghai Xuanbing Formation!
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Behind him, Lin Sheng had already rushed over with a group of inner disciples.
…
Ning Daoran immediately put away the Eighteen Levels of the Evergreen Art and switched to the Eighth Level. He also replaced the Great Green Dragon with the Autumn Water Sword. Senior Brother Lin should not be able to tell.
"Take my punch!"
Lin Sheng's whole body was filled with flames, and he soared into the air like the protagonist of a cool novel, and landed a fierce punch on the forehead of the Blazing King Worm.
“Roar~~~”
The Blazing King Earthworm roared, raised its head and charged forward.
Lin Sheng was furious, he actually lowered his head, and his whole body spun rapidly with the True Yang Furnace Technique, and he butted heads with the Blazing Flame King Earthworm!
"My... Iron Head Skill, right?"
Ning Daoran was speechless.
Senior Brother Lin Sheng is so powerful, his fighting style is different from that of ordinary cultivators.
The Blazing King Earthworm felt pain, twisted its body, and retreated frantically.
For a moment, the Cang Hai Xuan Bing Formation made a squeaking sound, and was finally forced into a gap by the Blazing Flame King Earthworm.
“Roar~~~”
With an unwilling roar, the Blazing King Earthworm fled and disappeared deep underground in the blink of an eye.
"Junior brother!"
Lin Sheng grabbed Ning Daoran's arm and said, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Don't chase it. The aura of this monster is so terrifying. We are definitely no match for it!"
The Blazing Flame King Earthworm was seriously injured. Actually, he could have been killed by burrowing into the ground and chasing him with two shots...
However, Ning Daoran was detained by Lin Sheng and could only watch the Blazing King Worm disappear deep underground.
“Ah~~”
The big stupid deer raised its head and cried out, it was a bit of a pity, as it had originally planned to fight the Blazing King Earthworm for three hundred rounds.
Ning Daoran frowned, feeling that the Blazing King Worm would come again.
Next time, it will have to leave its life behind!
…
One month later.
Ning Daoran made a wrong estimate, the Blazing King Worm never returned.
