"It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it." He said naturally, not wanting to see him embarrassed. Besides, it was nothing, it was his own business.
"It's nothing, I just absorbed a strange fire." Li Yiru felt that he didn't care about these treasures at all. After all, for a promising cultivator, these were all external things.
She tried another gamble, and sure enough, Li Yi just nodded calmly, "I see. You do have some luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, another earthquake began to digest. Li Yi asked her to turn off the formation and he would use his own formation plate to prop it up again. Li Yirou did as she was told.
They rotated every half hour, and this went on for a month. As they got closer and closer to the bottom of the mountain-devouring beast's digestion, their position got lower and lower.
Li Yirou looked at the digestive system of the Mountain Devourer. It didn't seem to be made of meat, but seemed to be a solid wall of iron and steel that could grind and crush everything.
Every time she shook, she couldn't help but control some stones to smash into its internal organs, but the mountain-devouring beast didn't feel any pain. The stones just made a "bang" sound and bounced to other places, without causing any damage to it. It only consumed Li Yiru's spiritual power.
The spiritual energy in their abdominal cavity was isolated, and there was only a large amount of spiritual energy that they inhaled when they devoured the mountain. Fortunately, it lasted for a month, which was enough for the two of them and several monsters on the top of the mountain to practice.
The mountain became smaller and smaller, and the monsters on the top of the mountain began to get irritated. Several of them started fighting among themselves because of the thin spiritual energy, and in the end only one was left alive.
Li Yirou and Li Yi's plan was to also transform into a useless, indigestible stone, attach all the shield talismans to it, and when the mountain-devouring beast was about to digest the entire mountain, use the second-grade earth-escaping talisman drawn by Li Yirou to drop into the garbage that it was about to excrete from its body.
At this time, the spiritual energy was insufficient, and Li Yi wanted Li Yiru to put on the talisman in advance, for fear that she would not be able to replenish her spiritual power later. If the two of them landed in different places, he would not be able to help her.
"It's okay. I have enough spiritual power to put on dozens of them." Li Yiru didn't dare to waste any of it. She had to use the talismans on the blade, worried that the talismans would expire during the drilling process.
Watching the mountain shrink smaller and smaller, Li Yirou and the others stood on the summit. The monster, upon discovering them, had already stopped making any rash moves. Like coffee beans being poured into a grinder, they waited patiently for the crushing to come.
Li Yirou's spiritual sense probed the ground below the mountain and found that all the spiritual sense that entered was completely absorbed. This feeling was too familiar, and she couldn't help but think of the dead tree.
After this round of grinding, there was still a large mound of earth under their feet, just enough to accommodate the three of them. "Be careful and stand firm," Li Yirou said, using a spell to dig the earth.
The earth slope beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and the monster slipped on the sunken earth. It dug its claws back and forth before it could stand firmly. It growled at Li Yiru fiercely, but because Li Yi was beside it, it did not dare to pounce on her.
Seeing a dry branch of a dead tree, Li Yiru reached out and pulled it out. It was hard to see clearly in the darkness, but Li Yiru felt familiar with it. Her vitality and spiritual power began to be slowly absorbed as she held the dead tree.
"Fang Ye, put it away. This Soul-Breaking Wood will absorb vitality." Li Yi's eyes were clearly filled with regret. He didn't expect that the material he had been looking for to refine the spirit sword was in Fang Ye's hands.
"Soul-breaking Tree?" Li Yiru put it in the storage bag without noticing the envy in his eyes.
"Well, it's excellent for refining spirit swords. Just half a sword, or a whole sword, not too much, otherwise it might absorb the user's spiritual power. It can greatly enhance the properties of the spirit sword and help the natal weapon better integrate with the cultivator's soul and dantian. Have you heard of the Fuyao Sword? It is..."
Li Yi didn't care about the danger and couldn't help but introduce her to the Soul-Breaking Tree that he had been thinking about.
"So useful? Here you go!" Since she couldn't ask for more, Li Yirou took out the one in the space and gave it to him. He didn't see it clearly anyway. The key point was that the new one was a little thicker and heavier than the previous one.
"What?" Li was shocked. He told himself not to take away the opportunity he had worked so hard to get, but his hand couldn't help but want to take it, and he forced himself to stop in mid-air.
"What are you standing there for?" Li Yirou had other ideas. She wanted to have Li Yi help her refine her natal spirit sword. And he had also risked his life to fall into the belly of the mountain-devouring beast with her.
After saying that, she stuffed it into Li Yi's hand and said, "I still have one, really!" After she said that, Li Yi's face was full of disbelief. How could it be possible? How could someone own two pieces of the extinct sacred tree, the Soul-Breaking Wood!
"If you can't use it all, leave it to me to practice my own spiritual sword!" Li Yiru added, reminding him that if she could build a foundation in the future, he would have to refine a spiritual sword for her.
Li Yi was touched, but couldn't help but feel sad for him. So that's why Fang probably thought he couldn't build a foundation, so no matter how much it could be sold for, it wasn't as important to him as his brother, so he gave it to him.
He must take Fang Ye away from the Mountain Devouring Beast and out of the secret realm safely! If he is willing, he will take him...
Li Yi was movingly making a silent vow while carefully storing the Soul-Breaking Wood in his jade storage pendant. Suddenly, the ground shook again, and the earth beneath the three feet completely dissipated, turning to dust.
Li Yirou and the other two simultaneously activated their earth-escaping talismans, landing among the piles of garbage. The stench wasn't the concentrated stench of other monsters' excrement, but a more intense, rotting odor, like miasma, penetrating their bodies through every pore, even through their masks.
The strange fire could not absorb all the poison, and Li Yiru was dizzy from the smoke. Li Yi happened to fall at her feet and cast a purification spell on her, which made her feel better. Then he went back to the time before and cast a spell on himself.
As the Mountain Devourer began to excrete its waste, Li Yirou and the other two began applying talismans to themselves. Seeing Fang Ye had indeed applied dozens of talismans, he only needed to keep an eye on it and cast a shield spell if it was squeezed.
During the process of expelling the shield, Li Yirou's shield was broken layer by layer. Li Yi replenished her shield. He still had some strength left, so they would definitely succeed!
After holding on for a whole day, they finally got out safely!
Li Yirou's spiritual sense detected Li Yi in the dust. He was worried that Li Yirou was confused and had forgotten what they had agreed on, so he couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up! Go south!"
The two took out high-level earth-escaping talismans. The south was the closest outskirts to the black volcano, and they would definitely be able to get out!
As soon as she finished speaking, something shot towards her and Li Yi. Li Yiru seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to dodge. However, Li Yi's figure blocked her in an instant, and the spirit sword made a collision sound, which probably knocked the thing away.
"Let's go!" Li Yi helped her break the lock and shouted again. Before the Mountain-Devouring Beast locked onto her, the two of them disappeared together near the Mountain-Devouring Beast's tail.
Li Yiru landed again. Even though she was used to the darkness, the night vision was still clear to her. There were many spiritual plants around. They were finally away from the mountain-devouring beast!
Not far ahead was a familiar, swaying figure, which gave Li Yiru a bad feeling.
