The scene changed. Ling Tian had separated from Su Qingyan. He sensed the surroundings and did not find any cultivators, not even a single monster. There was only endless desert all around.
"This is the desert area she mentioned. We must cross it to reach the designated meeting point."
Ling Tian stepped in and found it very strange. He couldn't use his spiritual energy to fly with his sword. He could only run or walk. Moreover, the sand felt different to him. It was smooth and delicate, yet very hard. He had to use a lot of force to move it away. It even shone golden in the sunlight.
"Is it some kind of metal?"
Ignore it and continue walking.
After crossing countless sand dunes, Ling Tian saw an oasis reflected in the distance. He knew it was just a mirage and was not too excited.
hiss~
A slight friction sound made Ling Tian stop. Just as he was observing his surroundings, a black hook rose up under his feet and suddenly stabbed.
“clang!”
There was no piercing phenomenon as it had imagined, it was just a big hand. Ling Tian caught the thing under his feet. It was a black scorpion as big as a palm, and its upside-down hook was full of poison.
"Red-tailed scorpions live in groups. Their nests must contain red and black poisonous berries."
Ling Tian became interested. This berry was extremely poisonous, but it was indeed a main ingredient in refining various detoxification pills. Perhaps this was due to the mutual promotion and restraint of the two. Its value was still good, and Ling Tian had no intention of letting it go. It was still very good to be able to add more new spiritual medicines to the space.
In less than a moment, dense black figures emerged on the sand dunes, looking quite creepy. Most of them were second-level monsters, and a few were third-level poisonous scorpions that were a circle larger in size. These alone could not pose any threat to him at all.
As soon as he released his breath, all the venomous scorpions on the sand dune raised their pincers, followed by a rustling sound, and they could be seen drilling into the sand. Ling Ren locked onto the third-level venomous scorpion, waited for a few breaths, and slammed his palm towards the sand dune. The bottom immediately sank, and the sand around it flowed into it, but soon stopped.
Ling Tian jumped into the sand pit and launched another palm strike into the air. A passage more than half a meter long appeared before him. A hidden aura followed, and the passage twisted and turned, extending downward.
After walking for more than half an hour, the view suddenly opened up. A huge cave, hundreds of feet wide, appeared in front of his eyes. There were densely packed red-tailed poisonous scorpions coiled underneath, probably tens of thousands of them. Ling Tian couldn't help but shiver. It was too dense.
"Sure enough, such a large area of red and black poisonous berries."
Looking at the dozens of short trees in the center that were full of red and black fruits, Ling Tian was very satisfied. When he was about to pick them, he felt another wave of spiritual energy coming. After thinking for a while, Ling Tian immersed himself in the space and looked outside.
"Brother, look, there are fifteen poisonous berries."
The woman was very excited. There were at least a thousand fruits here. One of the red and black poisonous berries outside was worth twenty spirit stones. She could earn tens of thousands of spirit stones not long after coming here. This made her have a better vision for the next few months.
"Haha, this is just the beginning. You guys go down and pick the fruits. Those poisonous scorpions are afraid of fire. Junior sister, your Earth Heart Flame is the nemesis of these poisonous creatures. We are relying on you outside."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. Not even a scorpion can get in with me here."
The woman was full of confidence. With a light push, she landed in the center of the poisonous berries as light as a swallow. The arrival of several people immediately made the poisonous scorpions restless. These were their advanced spiritual creatures, and they would not allow outsiders to invade. The king of the scorpion group immediately raised his arms and shouted, and all the poisonous scorpions rushed up from all directions. However, when a lavender flame appeared in the woman's hand, all the scorpions stopped.
Seeing their fear, the woman was very proud. She deliberately threw a few strands of hair into the group of scorpions and instantly burned hundreds of them to death.
"Junior sister, I'm afraid your Earth Core Flame is about to be upgraded to level three."
A man who was picking fruits showed an envious look. Strange fire is hard to come by, and even if you encounter it, you may not be able to control it. Although the Earth Core Flame of the junior sister in front of him did not make it into the top 50 of the Strange Fire list, it was also a very powerful flame.
"It's not that easy, Third Brother. It's still a long way off."
Although the woman spoke modestly, her expression showed a hint of pride. It was estimated that the fire was about to rise as the man said.
The conversation between these people was heard by Ling Tian in the space, and he was lost in thought at this moment.
"Can strange fire be upgraded? I wonder if my four-colored flame counts as strange fire."
Ling Tian really didn't know this, but he was certain that his four-colored flame was much more powerful than a woman's Earth Core Flame.
Looking at the seven men and women before him, Ling Tian realized it wouldn't be difficult to capture them. Their highest realm was only the late Jindan stage, and they weren't exactly geniuses. He felt the urge to go out and rob them so he could learn about the conditions for upgrading the Strange Fire, but as soon as his thought arose, another force preempted him.
"Hahaha, it turns out to be the Tianyan Sect. Brothers, kill the men. This little sister should be careful not to get bumped into anything, hehe!"
"Oh no! People from Luoyin Valley, everyone, scatter and flee..."
Before the man could finish his words, an arrow pierced his head. The huge impact nailed his entire body to the ground. Blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere, it was extremely disgusting, and even his soul could not escape.
“Senior Brother!”
"Want to leave? Haha!"
The man gave a look and five figures jumped out from behind him. In less than ten breaths, all the male disciples of Tianyan Sect were killed, leaving only the trembling woman who was frightened and begging for mercy.
"Junior Sister, hand over the Earth Core Flame and your sect's Flame Devouring Art and I will consider releasing you."
"Really? If you don't believe me, swear an oath on your soul before you go. Otherwise... I won't give it to you even if I die."
"Oh, you're quite courageous. I wonder if this bottle of spring water will still..."
"Ah~ Here you go, I'll give it to you guys, don't let me eat that."
The woman was extremely excited, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying.
"Hahaha, that's right. Quickly cut off the connection with the Earth Core Flame and send it over."
The man seemed a little anxious, his eyes full of greed.
The woman held the Earth Core Flame in the palm of her hand, but the corner of her mouth curled up imperceptibly. At this moment, the flame in her hand suddenly disappeared, and the next moment it appeared on the man's body, but he did not get it, but he was wrapped in the flame.
"Ah, bitch, get out of here, get out..."
In the blink of an eye, the man was completely burned. The woman turned to look at the other six people who were still stunned and laughed, "Let me show you the second form of the Earth Core Flame, hahahaha!"
"Purple Earth Heart Flame, burn it for me."
