Chapter 120: Mature gold-eating insect!

The red rocks, the yellow-red land, the red vegetation, the dark red and blurry sky, everything is the color of fire.

The temperature was so scorching that it seemed as if the air was about to burn.

Chen Yun had a blank expression on his face and pointed at the water gourd with one hand.

Bites of freezing cold mist quickly poured out of the gourd.

The cold fog surged and instantly wrapped around Chen Yun's body. The water curtain formed a dark blue water cover on Chen Yun's body surface, completely isolating the hot air from the outside.

At this time, Chen Yun no longer felt the burning sensation. Instead, his whole body felt cool and comfortable.

In fact, this level seems to depend on luck.

It would be easy for an ordinary Jindan cultivator to stay for three to five hours even without any magic weapon to deal with the situation.

But this place is very big and it is impossible to fly.

As a result, those monks who were teleported a little further away would need to walk for several days and nights without sleep before they could reach the end of the canyon.

This does not only depend on the cultivator's cultivation level, the most important thing is whether he has magic weapons to deal with the environment.

Besides, the journey was not smooth sailing.

In this harsh environment, natural monsters with ice and flame attributes are generated, which are the biggest obstacle to passing this level safely.

Half of the monks died at the hands of these evil spirits.

Apart from that, if you encounter some people with ill intentions who want to attack you secretly or steal your treasures, you can only rely on your own methods.

Chen Yun looked up at the sky, and after barely making out the blurry red sun and determining the direction, he no longer hesitated and walked forward.

In front of us were piles of rocks and straight, strange trees half a person's height.

"Stab la la!"

Accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, a scarlet figure suddenly rushed towards the distance.

Chen Yun took a closer look and saw that his entire body was fiery red, and the aura he exuded was comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator in the early Jindan stage.

"Fire demon spirit!"

Looking at the fire spirit flying towards him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Crash!"

The Fat Sun Bird Scroll appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"what?"

Looking at the Zhiyang Bird Scroll in his hand, Chen Yun suddenly let out a light exclamation, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I saw that the scroll that was originally covered with fat yang birds was now divided into two areas.

On one side is a densely packed, lifelike array of fat yang birds, and on the other side is a ball of blazing flames.

Chen Yun looked carefully and was surprised to find that the suddenly blazing flame was exactly the fire spirit he had absorbed in the magma land.

"It was not devoured by the Zhiyang Bird."

Chen Yun's eyes flickered, and he silently said in his heart: "It seems that this flame spirit can be used for other purposes."

Just as Chen Yun was contemplating, the fire demon spirit had already pounced in front of him.

At this moment, blazing flames gushed out of his body.

The powerful aura seemed to burn Chen Yun completely to ashes.

Chen Yun had a blank expression on his face as he pointed at the Zhiyang Bird scroll in his hand.

"Huh! Huh!"

Along with the shrill sound of birds chirping, one after another red-gold-colored fat-yang birds flew out from the scroll.

Dense swarms of fat yang birds instantly enveloped the fire demon spirit.

Wisps of flaming spiritual power were continuously swallowed into the body of the Zhiyang Bird.

As time went by, the aura of the Zhiyang Bird became stronger and stronger, and in comparison, the aura of the fire demon spirit gradually weakened.

In just a few breaths, the fire demon spirit that was just waving its claws and fangs and having a turbulent aura was completely devoured.

"Crash!"

The Zhiyang Bird flapped its wings, transformed into several streams of light, and disappeared into the Zhiyang Bird scroll.

Looking at the Fat Yang Bird in the scroll, Chen Yun's lips moved slightly: "It seems that there is no need to stay here for a while."

Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned into a blue shadow, and strode towards the distance.

……

Meanwhile, in a narrow valley in the lava channel.

A middle-aged man walked slowly forward.

Bu Xu is a cultivator with earth and fire spiritual roots in the middle stage of Jindan.

Although he has only been practicing for less than three hundred years, he has already achieved such an accomplishment, which is enough for him to look down on several seas and gain a great reputation.

There are even many cultivators who believe that he is one of the cultivators with the greatest hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Bu Xu enjoyed the awe, envious eyes and praise from others very much.

But he himself knows that if he were not young.

An ancient elixir, Fenyuan Dan, was found in the body of a fourth-level monster, which saved it more than a hundred years of hard training.

Perhaps he is still lingering in the foundation-building stage.

And because of this, he tasted the sweetness of the ancient elixir and therefore set his sights on this trip to Xutian Palace.

He even bought a fire dragon worm at a high price.

He wanted to take the risk of breaking into the inner hall and use this insect to collect the top secret treasure, Xu Tian Ding, which shook the starry sea.

As long as he has the many treasures in the Xutian Ding and the legendary Bu Tian Dan, it is believed that his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner.

But when Bu Xu entered Xutian Palace and saw so many Yuanying stage monsters arriving one after another, he felt like cold water was poured over his head and his heart was extremely chilled.

Naturally, he knew that his plan to seize the Xu Tian Ding was a joke.

But since people have come here, they naturally don't want to go back empty-handed.

After successfully passing through the ghost fog, he picked a lot of spiritual medicines that were useful for spiritual practice.

After tasting the sweetness, I naturally entered the next level without hesitation.

After all, for him, if the ghost fog was a little difficult, then the ice and fire path would not be a big deal at all.

The martial art he practiced was the "Taiyang Jue" which was quite famous even in Chaos Star Sea.

This technique is a top-level technique that can be ranked among the top ten in the Chaos Star Sea Fire Technique.

Plus, I have two fireproof magic weapons on me, so I feel I can definitely pass the level successfully.

But now Bu Xu is regretting so much that his intestines are breaking.

Although Taiyang Jue did have a miraculous effect on Bihuoran, if he didn't want to be baked dry by the high temperature around him in a short while, he had to keep Taiyang Jue running at full power.

Judging from the speed at which his mana was being consumed, even though he held a spirit stone in each hand to continuously replenish his spiritual energy, it could only last for about half a day at most before he turned into ashes due to the exhaustion of his mana.

Bu Xu naturally didn't want to die in this way, so he ran nervously and looked around all the time.

Soon, a young man in white clothes with blue light all around him was walking slowly towards them from a distance.

The young man’s cultivation level was not high, he was only in the initial stage of Jindan, but the magic weapon outside his body was truly extraordinary, completely isolating him from the heat from the outside world.

"In the early stage of Jindan, there is such a treasure!!!"

After just one glance, murderous intent suddenly appeared in Bu Xu's eyes. Without any hesitation, he quickly walked towards the young man.

Chen Yun, with his hands behind his back, walked leisurely on the lava path.

The water-based gourd has its own space, which can nourish the sunflower water Yin thunder. At the same time, the water-based gem will also continuously condense the sunflower water Yin thunder.

Therefore, let alone walking here for several days, even if he stayed here for half a year, Chen Yun would be fine.

What's more, Chen Yun also has the Clam Girl, and the Clam Girl's Blue Ice Lotus is also an ice magic weapon.

In fact, there is no need for Chen Yun to sacrifice the Water Gourd. He can pass this level smoothly with just the Blue Ice Lotus.

At this moment, a middle-aged monk suddenly emerged from the rocks, wielding a sharp red flying sword and attacking Chen Yun. "Huh?"

Chen Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "There are still people delivering it to my door?"

On the lava road, the protective magic weapons were damaged, the spiritual power was exhausted, and there were many cases of people snatching other people's magic weapons in order to survive.

Therefore, Chen Yun deliberately restrained his cultivation to the early stage of Jindan, just for the purpose of fishing.

Unexpectedly, in just half a day, he met a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

Most of this person's spiritual power has been consumed, and only one-third of his strength remains.

Even if he really has the cultivation level of the initial stage of Jindan, he may not be his opponent.

What's more, he is only in the false infant stage.

Looking at Bu Xu who was coming towards him, Chen Yun gently patted the Zhiyang Bird scroll in front of him with his right hand.

"Crash!"

As the scarlet Zhiyang birds flew out one by one, they turned into a red tide and quickly pounced towards Bu Xu.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bu Xu's expression changed and he immediately slapped a piece of aqua blue copper in front of him.

The surging blue cold current completely enveloped the body at this moment.

The Zhiyang Bird and the blue shield collided with each other in an instant.

The Fat Yang Bird represents the ultimate yang force, and its power is greatly increased in this extremely hot lava road.

The power of its water-based magic weapon dropped drastically here.

How can we withstand the attack of the Zhiyang Bird?
"Stab la la"

Water and fire are compatible, and quickly emit bursts of sharp burning sounds.

As the surging water mist surged, cracks appeared out of thin air on the blue light shield protecting Bu Xu.

At this moment, the red-gold flames poured in along the cracks.

Looking at the raging flames, Bu Xu could clearly feel the passing of life.

“This…is not…”

Bu Xu's face was full of despair. He kept shaking his head and letting out shrill screams.

Unfortunately, the Zhiyang birds kept falling and completely covered Bu Xu in an instant.

Seeing this, Chen Yun walked over lightly and pointed with one hand.

The spirit beast bag storage bag on his waist was taken into his hand.

Chen Yun looked down, and his spiritual sense swept over roughly and poured into the storage bag.

The storage bag was very clean. Apart from a jade slip and some Jindan stage elixirs, there were some top-level magical instruments.

As for the magic weapon, there is only a vermilion spiritual sword, but it is just a low-level magic weapon and not worth mentioning.

Chen Yun shook his head and quickly turned his gaze to the jade slip.

He skillfully placed the jade slip between his eyebrows, and his spiritual consciousness slowly flowed into it, examining it carefully.

"Taiyang Jue"

Chen Yun touched his chin and found that this technique was extraordinary. It could condense a ray of Taiyang True Fire, which was the most yang fire. It was also a fire-based technique that could lead directly to the Nascent Soul Stage.

But it is still a little inferior to the Qingyang Demon Fire.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment, and finally put the jade slip into the storage bag. Then his eyes fell on the spirit beast bag beside him.

The spiritual consciousness slowly flowed into it, and soon, a half-human-sized fiery red lizard appeared in front of him.

"Fire dragon worm!"

Because Bu Xu died, the fire dragon insect looked very depressed and its breath was much weaker.

"It seems that this person wants to use this fire dragon worm to pull out the Xutian Ding."

Chen Yun chuckled and glanced at the fire dragon worm, and found that the aura emanating from it was quite strong.

It is a fourth-level monster.

Staring at the fire dragon insect in front of him, Chen Yun touched his chin, muttered something in his heart, and gently waved his sleeves.

It was ingested by the Fire Dragon Bug again.

I already have the Blood Jade Spider, so I don't need the help of this fire dragon worm.

……

Two days later, on a red hill on the Lava Road, Chen Yun skillfully drove the Fat Yang Bird.

Devour one fire-type demon spirit after another.

In the past two days, the Zhiyang Bird has devoured nearly a hundred fire-type monsters.

This makes the group of Zhiyang birds look more solid, as if they have physical entities, which is very magical.

After this period of improvement, Chen Yun believed that even if he met a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, he would be able to defeat the cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

Even if you encounter this group of Zhiyang birds, you may not be their match.

Soon, an endless black desert appeared in front of Chen Yun.

“Finally here.”

Looking at the desert in front of him, Chen Yun exclaimed softly, with a slight smile on his face.

"Whoa!"

And at this moment, a faint sound came from the black desert.

Chen Yun snorted coldly and waved his right hand.

The biting cold fog flew out of his hand and landed on the pitch-black desert.

Stimulated by the cold fog, pitch-black flying ants quickly flew away from the ground.

This is not a black desert at all, it is simply made up of a group of black flying ants. "Iron Fire Ants!"

Chen Yun gently patted the spirit beast bag on his waist with both hands.

One after another, gold-eating bugs flew out into the air.

The iron fire ant, a spiritual insect ranked 37th on the list of strange insects, is considered one of the most powerful flying ants.

Apart from the legendary "Tian Jing Ant" which ranks ninth, this iron fire ant is probably the most terrifying.

These flying ants are not only invulnerable but also unafraid of most magical attacks.

Except for intermediate and above spells of water and ice attributes and individual spells of other attributes, which can cause damage to them.

They have almost the same abnormal defensive power as the gold-eating bugs, and are even better than the gold-eating bugs in resisting direct attacks from magic weapons.

Of course, they do not have the abnormal ability of gold-eating insects to devour spiritual energy, but they also have the terrifying ability to spit black flames and transform in groups.

With these abilities, the fire ant colony is, to a certain extent, a fire-attributed magic weapon that can change its shape at will.

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.

It's a pity that the living environment of the fire ant is too harsh.
Not only does it require a hot lava zone, but it also needs a large amount of copper and iron ores nearby in order to survive.

If they leave this environment, the fire ants will quickly weaken.

It won't be long before its special abilities completely degenerate and it becomes not much different from ordinary flying ants.

Otherwise, you can raise some and provide them specifically for the gold-eating bugs to devour and evolve.

In the original book, the gold-eating beetle that devours the fire ant will become a tri-colored gold-eating beetle and lose the ability to evolve.

In fact, it is because the power of the five elements has not been infused.

If you want to cultivate gold-eating bugs, you need to use the infusion method and the power of heaven and earth to forcibly infuse the five elements of spiritual energy into the body of the bug, which can accelerate the maturation of the gold-eating bug. This method can shorten the time by at least one third.

As for the iron fire ant, the five elements contain fire and gold.

It only needs to devour another kind of spiritual object containing wood, water and earth to reduce the evolution speed of the gold-eating worm.
