After passing the watchtower, there were more people wearing white robes. They were of average strength and did not have the ability to survive in the depths of the Flame Dragon Jedi, but they could move freely.
Occasionally, flames would appear on the red earth ground.
The people in white robes came and went, following a specific walking route that just avoided the place where the flames were generated.
They were transporting things on carts, and the boxes on the carts were made of thin stone slabs.
"Hurry up, hurry up, move faster!"
The leader, a man in a white robe with gold edges on the corners, gave the command.
They seemed to be divided into different classes according to the color of the embroidery on the corners of their clothes.
"Hurry up and transport this batch over. There are still three days until the lunar eclipse. If the formation is not ready by then, it will delay the master's plan. Watch out for your heads!"
Luo Zheyu walked forward, relying on the protection of illusion, he did not exist in the eyes of others, and everything remained the same.
He stepped onto the cart and opened the box with great fanfare.
A pile of white jade stones, cut into long strips, exuded a slightly cold air in the box.
People around him couldn't see him, and his movements were so light that no one noticed anything unusual. They just felt that the cart in their hands was getting heavier.
"Why is this thing getting heavier..." muttered the man in white robe who was pushing the cart. He had a pair of splayed eyebrows and a naturally bitter look on his face.
"They're all stones, how can they not be heavy?" someone nearby said.
"But it is indeed heavier than before..."
"Really? How about we switch?" The man next to him suggested with a roll of his eyes.
Although the cart he was pushing was also loaded with stones, it was a different type from those pushed by others. It was the same size but much heavier. His arms had been sore for a long time and he wanted to relax.
"Okay, let's switch."
"Be careful, Yuanshi. Don't let him see it."
The two exchanged carts while the leader was not paying attention.
"The stuff in your cart is as heavy as mine." The man in white robe with shaggy eyebrows scratched his head in confusion.
"Hehehe..." The man who exchanged cars with him smiled, pushed the car which was much lighter, and walked quickly forward, leaving him behind.
After looking at the white stone, Luo Zheyu came to the cart again and opened the stone box.
This time, the box contained dark red oval stones.
The man in the white robe with scowl-shaped eyebrows had just taken two steps in pushing the cart when it sank again. His arms ached and he almost slipped and fell.
"Why has it become heavier..."
…
Deep in the Yanlong Wasteland, there is a red soil mountain that rises from the ground. Its area and height are not much different from the famous mountains and rivers in the outside world.
The flames around the mountain were even more intense. There was even a large hole that was artificially smashed out. It seemed to be hollow inside, but the flames were so strong that they almost jumped out of the hole, making it impossible for people to walk in.
Many people in white robes gathered outside the big cave.
Seven or eight men in white robes with gold edges on the corners stood in the middle, with boxes of various stones and other miscellaneous objects next to them. They held paper, pens and compasses in their hands, and looked up at the sky from time to time, as if calculating something, and then inserted the stones and other objects into the red soil according to some unique pattern.
The people guarding the outer circle have purple edges on the corners of their robes, their hands on their weapons, their minds focused, and their vigilance alert to their surroundings.
Not far away, a thin silver blanket was spread on the red ground, covered with an umbrella. Seven women in different clothes were tied with ropes and lying on the blanket.
Most of them were practitioners, with their eyes either closed or half-opened listlessly.
The weak woman among them seemed to be fine except that she was listless in the depths of the Yanlong Wasteland.
These people must have the means to allow ordinary people to survive surrounded by flames.
Luo Zheyu watched from a distance without going near. Instead, he touched his sleeve, took out a chair, sat down, and observed quietly.
Those women must have been captured to be used as formation personnel because of their full yin constitution. They are only waiting to be activated as formation personnel in three days. I don’t know what the consequences will be, but it will definitely not be a good thing.
The other party's life was not in danger at the moment. If he wanted to rob him, it would be best to wait until the moment before the formation was set up and activated...
After the lunar eclipse, the formation became useless and the seven women were temporarily safe.
I don’t know who the master the man in white robe is talking about, how powerful he is, or where he is now.
Before meeting the other party, Luo Zheyu was not completely sure that he could save the seven women and escape safely.
Don't try to be too stubborn.
Maybe we could use some help.
Wanshengtang must be very interested in this.
Yanlong Jedi does not belong to Bicheng, but it has already had many connections with Bicheng. Wanshengtang will not allow a white-robed man who suddenly appears to cause trouble and steal things near home.
What's more, even though no one knows what the dragon ball is used for, it is definitely a treasure. Who wouldn't want an ownerless treasure?
…
The next day, Luo Zheyu returned and found the monster that Wanshengtang sent to Yanlong Jedi to investigate, and explained the matter of the dragon ball.
The other party used special means to contact the head of Wansheng Hall and reported the known information. The head of the hall sent more people and ordered them to destroy the formation of the white-robed man.
That afternoon, Luo Zheyu separated from the monsters from Wanshengtang and headed to the depths of Yanlong Jedi alone again.
On the way, they were inevitably stopped by the demons from the Yanlong Jedi.
This was expected, even desired.
But what is interesting is that this time we encountered another flint monster.
"I'm sorry."
Luo Zheyu said this, but without hesitation he enlarged his body and summoned his sickle.
Bang!
The flint monster's head was slapped off.
The body turned into a dragon, and without paying any attention to the furious fire stone monster in front of it, the red dragon bypassed the latter and flew towards the stone that was knocked away.
With lightning speed, it instantly caught up with the stone that was surrounded by burning flames. Although it had no eyes or facial features, the fire stone monster thought it was a head.
A layer of water film wrapped around the red dragon's tail, and the tail lashed towards the stone fiercely.
“Bang!”
The stone was blown away again with great force. The stone, which was about to lose its momentum and fall to the ground, was given the force of impact again and went even faster.
A little hot.
The red dragon shook its tail, shook off the water film burned by the fire, and covered it with a new layer of cool water.
Looking back, I saw the headless fire stone monster running after me, with smoke and dust rising everywhere.
It's good that I will catch up.
The red dragon caught up with the flying stone again.
“Bang!”
The burning stones were like spinning tops that never stopped. Whenever they slowed down and were about to fall to the ground, they would be whipped away by the red dragon's tail.
The Flint Goblin chased after him exhaustedly, furious and irritable.
This is not an exaggeration. The fire in its body really rose three feet high due to anger.
It's just a head, if it's lost, it's lost.
Whenever the Fire Stone Demon showed such thoughts and slowed down its pursuit, it would be inexplicably covered in water.
Once again, I was angered.
Anger turns into motivation and keeps it going.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The sound of the dragon's tail hitting the stones mixed with the rumbling sound of the Flint Demon running gradually faded away into the depths of the Flame Dragon Jedi.
Under the setting sun, the picture has a strange harmony.
…
Deep in the Yanlong Jedi, in the watchtower.
At this hour, the same two people from yesterday were still on duty in the watchtower.
Everywhere you look is red soil and rising flames. You feel anxious, irritable, depressed and suffocated. The fire in your heart is whispering, and it can't wait to burn and explode.
Only by raising your head can you see the comfortable blue sky and leisurely white clouds above your head.
But if you look up at the sky, you won't be able to be alert and pay attention to the movements on the ground at all times.
The companion next to me is usually talkative and not a rule-abiding person, but he also became silent at this time.
After the silence.
"What will happen to us when our Lord succeeds?" It was still the man on the left who broke the silence.
The man on the right heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and he became much more lively. He smiled and said, "Promotion, wealth, glory and honor?"
"Then what?"
"...And then? Then continue to follow the master and serve the master."
The man on the left was silent for a moment, then he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about..."
"I haven't thought about it."
Before he could finish his words, the man on the right interrupted him in a stern voice.
"You have used up the Quanxin Pills you exchanged yesterday, right? With our strength, taking one Quanxin Pill can protect us from the flames for two days in this place. We got the same amount when the medicine was distributed, but you used up your Quanxin Pills so quickly that you still need to exchange them with me. Who did you give them to?"
"I……"
"You don't have to tell me. I don't want to know, and I won't report you. I just want to remind you to throw away your unnecessary compassion. You know the consequences of betraying your master."
"…But she is me…"
The man on the left seemed to be about to say something, but before he could finish his words, he heard a faint rumbling sound coming from the distance.
As the sound entered the ears, it became louder and louder, and then the red sandy ground began to vibrate.
"There's something unusual, be alert!"
Woo——
The man on the right blew the horn to alert the people transporting things in the rear and those around the formation.
As soon as the horn stopped, a huge, four-meter-tall, furious and running flint monster appeared in the field of vision.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Its footsteps made a dull sound on the ground, and the earth shook.
Its flames burned fiercely, and the flames swung wildly.
It is aggressive and powerful.
After a few breaths, it got closer, and the two people on the watchtower noticed that the flint monster in front of them had no head.
“Is this even possible?!”
"It turns out that it can survive without a head..."
A man in a white robe with gold edges led a group of white robes with purple edges and arrived quickly. They had various weapons hanging around their waists and all held bows and arrows in their hands.
The shape of the bow is strange, as if it is made of the bones of some aquatic monster. The arrow is even more exquisite and unusual. The arrowhead looks extremely sharp. It must be a fine product that must be shot and retrieved.
At the command, all arrows were fired.
Luo Zheyu, who had transformed into a red dragon, hid aside and watched these men in white robes use their weapons and equipment, form an array, and grind the flint monster to death.
The white-robed men are not strong individually, but if several of them line up to fight, their strength is more than just 1+1=2.
After getting a little understanding of the man in white robe, the red dragon turned around and swam to another place in mid-air.
The Fire Stone Demon was not a big challenge for the men in white robes, and they dealt with it without even sending out half of their men.
Luo Zheyu decided to find something more exciting for them.
…
After searching for two quarters of an hour, Hong Jiao finally found a qualified creature in the Yanlong Jedi.
Firewing.
A group of flying creatures slightly larger than a bee.
Like the man in white robe, his individual ability is not that strong.
Firewings usually appear in the tens of thousands, which seems to be about the same number as three boxes of bees.
Don't underestimate these fire-winged insects, which only amount to three boxes. They have strong attack power, good teeth, and can chew anything. They are also flexible and difficult to catch or kill.
After killing it, the price of the materials that can be sold for the fire-winged insect's corpse is also low. After working hard for two or three days, you can only earn a few copper coins.
It is one of the creatures that people who are training in the Fire Dragon Jedi least want to see.
Now, the red dragon took the initiative to provoke this group of fire-winged insects.
He sprayed some water mockingly at the opposing group.
The fire-winged insect stopped in the air, spread its wings and rubbed its legs, enjoying its bath in place.
Luo Zheyu: …
