Chapter 17: Fire Energy
"Your disciple has killed a Foundation Establishment stage lantern evil ghost and extracted [10 points of Fire Spirit] and [Ice Lotus Hell Heart Fire - 1 strand of Sub-Fire Energy]. You have obtained [20 points of Fire Spirit Returned] and [Flame Lotus Hell Heart Fire - 10 strands of Sub-Fire Energy], and are rewarded with 500 points!"
Xiao Huang solved the lantern evil ghost, and Lu Yuan heard the system returning the reward for teaching his apprentice.
Hearing the prompt tone, Lu Yuan was quite moved.
You have to be reliable! Xiao Huang!
Lu Yuan absorbed the 20 points of fire spirit rewarded by the system. After absorbing the fire spirit, Lu Yuan felt that his perception, control and defense of fire aura had become stronger.
This fire spirit power is really useful.
Besides this, there is also [Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire - 10 strands of Sub-Fire Energy]? Lu Yuan frowned. What is this? He absorbed this energy and found that this Sub-Fire Energy could actually strengthen his own fire spells.
Lu Yuan casually performed a fire spell, and a fireball condensed in his palm.
The fireball was originally only the size of an apple. After a wisp of fire energy was injected, the fireball expanded to the size of a grapefruit. Not only did the size of the fireball become larger, but its power also increased tenfold! Lu Yuan: "I am now at the first level of foundation building, but if I use this fireball after injecting a wisp of fire energy, a sudden sneak attack is enough to hurt a ninth-level cultivator.
Even if it is a Jindan stage cultivator, as long as enough fire energy is injected, it can make him suffer. This thing is very useful!"
Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that the [Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire - Sub-Fire Energy] returned by the system was very useful.
But the question is, where did this thing come from?
How did Xiao Huang kill the Lantern Ghost? How did this thing drop? The Lantern Ghost is an unpopular ghost, but it is not a high-end product in this world.
To put it bluntly, it is the product of evil ghosts and dead souls possessing lanterns and practicing through resentment.
There is no reason why such a low-level monster could drop high-level materials like the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire Energy.
Lu Yuan seemed to have some impression of the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire.
There are many strange flames in this world, which are divided into strange fire, divine fire, and heavenly fire.
The Flame Lotus Hell Heart Fire is one of the strange fires in the world. It is said to be born in the Flame Hell. The energy contained in the flame is enormous. It is the dream of many alchemists, weapon refiners, and cultivators with fire spirit roots.
This lantern evil ghost can emit fire energy. In addition, so many lantern evil ghosts that can attack people suddenly appear here, and each of them is very powerful.
Based on the above conditions, Lu Yuan could probably guess something.
Near Liuhuo City, a Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire was born by chance, and the energy of the strange fire was dispersed, leading to the birth of a large number of lantern ghosts.
Because the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire is rumored to be a strange fire born in the Fire Hell, its flame energy is violent and directly affects the Lantern Ghost's temper.
The originally gentle lantern ghost was transformed into a lantern evil ghost, entering the city to kill mortals.
Lu Yuan pondered: "If I'm lucky this time, maybe I can get a strange fire back? Even if I can't, it would be good to kill a few more lantern ghosts and absorb the energy of the sub-fire!"
Lu Yuan guessed the truth about the fire disaster in Liuhuo City almost exactly.
Then, Lu Yuan specified the next detailed combat plan.
These lantern evil spirits are deadly demonic fires in the eyes of mortals, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, they are high-level material monsters that explode with fire spirits and sub-fire energy.
It's rare to find ghosts like this that are not very powerful, are low-level in themselves but can drop high-level supplies. You have to kill as many as you can when you get the chance, otherwise you will miss it forever.
While killing the lantern evil ghosts, you can also search for the hiding place of the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire. It would be even better if you can get the strange fire.
Then, Lu Yuan took Xiao Huang and flew around the city, searching for the whereabouts of the lantern evil ghost that appeared at night.
…
Two hours later, Xiao Huang stomped on a withered yellow lantern and burst it into pieces. He burped and two red flames came out of his nostrils.
Xiao Huang has been swallowing fire for two hours straight tonight, and now his stomach is full of fire energy.
If it hadn't been practicing the Sun-Swallowing Technique, its stomach would have burst with the energy.
The system reward notification sound never stopped in Lu Yuan's ears.
Xiao Huang killed more than 20 lantern monsters in two hours.
Lu Yuan's fire spirit power increased by 400 points and the sub-fire energy increased by 200 strands. The harvest was very good.
But Lu Yuan also discovered something strange.
First: He searched everywhere for lantern ghosts tonight, and hunted 20 lantern ghosts with Xiao Huang, but all they encountered were red flame lantern ghosts. He had heard what the gray-clothed man said in the inn before, and the gray-clothed man kept saying that he saw a blue-black flame lantern ghost.
Why didn’t any ghost see my lantern with blue-black flame?
Either the man in gray was bragging, or the blue-black lantern ghost was very rare, or I just happened not to encounter one.
Second: While he was hunting lantern ghosts along the way, he saw the corpse of a lantern evil ghost that was not killed by him and Xiao Huang.
And I saw more than one, at least a dozen lantern heads being beaten to pieces by others.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This means that in this Liuhuo City, not only Lu Yuan is hunting the evil fire, but there are other masters doing the same thing as him.
Lu Yuan was curious about who this person was...
…
On the other side of Liuhuo City, as a huge black ruler smashed down heavily, a large area of street bricks were smashed. The energy wave raised by the huge black ruler instantly killed a lantern ghost.
The black-robed figure holding a huge black ruler then walked up to the Lantern Ghost, pointed his palm at the Lantern Ghost's huge lantern head and sucked it.
A vortex of spiritual power burst out from his palm, swallowing up all the fire energy on the Lantern Ghost's head.
After devouring its life force flame, the lantern ghost died instantly.
A handsome face was revealed under the wide black hood. Although the boy's fire energy increased a little after absorbing the lantern ghost, he did not look very happy.
The black-robed boy touched the black ring on his fair finger and said, "Teacher, after absorbing this lantern ghost, I have collected 15 strands of sub-fire energy, which is halfway to the target of 30 strands of sub-fire energy you set.
But it seems that there are other people in the city who are hunting these lantern ghosts like me, and they are snatching them faster than me. It is difficult to collect 30 strands of fire energy."
"And I've been searching all night, but I couldn't find the whereabouts of the blue-black lantern ghost you mentioned. Could it be that the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire has already left here?"
An old voice came from the black-robed young man's mind.
"Impossible. The different fires are inductively connected to each other. The Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire has gained intelligence and transformed into a special blue-black lantern ghost. It is now wandering around in Flowing Fire City and has not left.
You must have just been unlucky and didn’t encounter it.”
The black-robed young man smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Although Liuhuo City is not too big, it is not a small city either. It would take too long for me to search for it alone. And the special lantern ghost incarnated by the strange fire is moving all the time. Can I find it?
And there are people in the city who are also hunting lantern ghosts like me. What if that person gets there first? Teacher, do you have a way to accurately locate it?
It’s very difficult for me to search all over the city like this…”
The black-robed young man couldn't help but complain.
He had been searching and killing for two hours by himself and was exhausted.
Can you use the enemy detection perspective to guide me? (End of this chapter)
