Cultivation of Immortals: Start with blind thinking

Chapter 72 Fire Loach
The two walked silently in the middle and rear of the team, heading east.

Soon, two adjacent caves were discovered, and the team had to be split again. Jin Ziming, Lin Xi, and four others followed Murong Fei into the first cave.

The temperature in the cave is extremely high, and the further you go, the more so. After traveling about two hundred feet, there is no longer a road ahead, and there is only a pool of fiery red magma.

The seven people probed into it with their spiritual sense, and found that the distance they could cover was only [-]% of the usual distance.

Jin Ziming was the one with the strongest primordial spirit among this group of people. In just that short moment, he discovered that there was a living creature under the lava. It was small in size, a bit like a loach in the field.

These fire loaches swim extremely fast in the lava, and disappear in a flash.

Murong Fei pondered for a moment, then ordered:
"Let's dive down and have a look. I will lead two people, Lin Xi and Yaodao are in a group, and the remaining two are in a group. After five hours, everyone must return here to meet up."

In the end, the female cultivator among the two was from Magic Phantom Island, and was also a second-level sect under the Black Demon Sect, which made Murong Fei quite relieved.

The seven people divided into three groups and began to dive and move forward.

Jin Ziming stretched out a protective air shield to cover the two of them, pushing the air bubbles forward in the magma.

Lin Xi looked curiously at the strange world outside, red, yellow, orange red and gold and other colored magma, or ups and downs, or drift.

There are also some rocks or soil wrapped in it, from time to time there will be colorful flames flickering, in addition to that, there is also the flashing and unusually fast fire loach.

"I can cover a distance of nearly [-] miles here. Let's not go too far, otherwise I'm worried that we will miss the meeting time." Jin Ziming said.

"The distance I can detect is less than seven miles, and you are almost ten times as far as mine. Pervert, you can control the direction."

The two walked through this bizarre fire field, Jin Ziming acted on the spur of the moment, manipulated the gas mask, and suddenly stopped a cruising fire loach.

Then, he used aura to conjure a big hand outside the bubble, and grabbed it in.

After soul detection, it was discovered that it was actually composed of extremely pure fire attribute magic energy, so he rolled it to Lin Xi and said:
"Come and absorb it, it may be useful to you."

Lin Xi took the test and couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised. The pure fire energy entered her body, making her feel extremely comfortable. After more than [-] breaths, the fire loach was completely sucked by her and disappeared.

"Gold, this thing is very helpful to me, let's grab some more."

The two began to probe forward while catching the fire loach.

One catch, one suck, Lin Xi enjoyed this happy journey very much.

The further forward, the bigger the fire loach, and the more devil energy it contained, the more pure it was. After traveling for about seventy miles, Jin Ziming caught a fat fire loach that was as long as an arm.

Just as Lin Xi started to absorb it, Jin Ziming suddenly changed his expression and shouted:

"Hurry up, a big guy is coming."

In the consciousness, two huge fire loaches appeared at a position of more than thirty feet in front, about three feet long.

Exploring his aura, he is similar to Wu Wei, probably at the middle stage of the fourth rank.

Jin Ziming turned around and began to flee the way he had come.

After running a few dozen feet, the two beasts were already catching up. With Lin Xi's strength, he was absolutely unable to resist.

Jin Ziming hurriedly said:
"Lin Xi, run back quickly, you can't help me at all here, you can only distract me.

Don't worry, I'm sure I can escape against this kind of mid-tier four. "

"Okay, be careful."

Lin Xi immediately used her red mask and retreated, but firstly, speed was not her strong point, and secondly, she wanted to see the battle situation before deciding whether to stay or not.

There was a loud "bang" from the rear, setting off a huge wave of magma, and the first fire loach had already collided with Jin Ziming's Lengyue knife.

The latter was knocked out and approached Lin Xi again. He had no choice but to urge:

"Lin Xi, hurry up and escape at the fastest speed, what are you waiting for?"

Lin Xi had no choice but to retreat at full speed, but the two cunning fire loaches split into two groups, each chasing one person.

Jin Ziming was taken aback, rushed over quickly, and rejoined Lin Xi in a gas mask.

Now I can't run away, I can only fight.

The demon energy and power of the other party are too strong to be able to fight against. The only way is to test whether their spirits are also that strong. This may be his only reliance.

Jin Ziming first distanced the air mask and the fire loach at full speed, and immediately fired four hundred soul knives, attacking the two fire loaches separately.

The flying knives penetrated into the brains of the two beasts, and they were in a terrific battle with their souls.

Jin Ziming was overjoyed immediately, he tried it out, and the other party was only the primordial spirit in the early stage of the fourth level.

His spiritual consciousness transmitted voice:

"Xiao Fei, will magma damage Shen Xing?"

"What is the quality of divine ability? Even the Lengyue knife can be used here, why can't it be magical? Use it with confidence."

"Great."

He immediately sent out a heavy hammer of the soul to Huoxi on the left, causing the opponent to twist his body desperately in pain, and almost at the same time, the simplified version of "Dunqu" in the same space was also sacrificed.

Shen Xing silently pierced through the brain of Huo Loach on the right side, annihilating its soul, the thing immediately became motionless and began to sink.

The fire loach on the left was taken aback, swung its tail vigorously, and began to flee at high speed.

Jin Ziming didn't chase after him, and immediately wrapped his soul power around the sinking giant fire loach, expanded the air shield, fished it in, and said to Lin Xi:

"You absorb it quickly, like a dead fire eel, it will gradually decompose."

Lin Xi began to crazily absorb the pure fire magic energy, while Jin Ziming controlled the gas mask and slowly returned.

It took Lin Xi a full three hours to finish sucking up the mid-fourth-order fire loach. She moaned in extreme comfort and said:

"Jin Zi, I have reached the peak level in the later period, and I have already touched the barrier leading to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core."

"Well, this small world is the most suitable for you. It is tailor-made for you. Maybe you can break through to Dzogchen in the 'heart' space."

When the two returned to the starting point, they found that the agreed time had passed by an incense stick of kung fu. Murong Fei and the other two were standing on the shore, and one of them was seriously injured.

Murong Fei looked at the two of them with an unkind expression, and asked:

"Why didn't you come back on time?"

"We encountered a large creature in the magma, and we deviated from the route when escaping, and it took some time to find our way back." Lin Xi replied.

Murong Fei thought about the same with his team, so he didn't pursue further, and asked casually:
"Anything special?"

"The creatures in the magma are very similar to loaches. There are both second-order and third-order creatures. They are made of pure fire-attribute magic energy."

Murong Fei nodded and said nothing more.

The five of them waited for two full hours, but the third team still did not return. Murong Fei's expression was gloomy, and he said helplessly:
"Wait no more, I'm afraid the two of them are in danger, let's go."

With a heavy heart, the five walked out of the cave in silence, only to find that Wang Zhiyao and the other four were already waiting at the entrance of the cave, and they also lost two of them.

The nine people continued to move forward, passed through a large volcanic rock forest, and walked for more than [-] miles, and found a cave again. The opening of the cave was large enough to accommodate seven or eight people in parallel.

Murong Fei kept silent and walked in with eight people.

The light in the cave is dim, but the road ahead can still be seen clearly. On the cave wall, blue, green and white stalactites appear alternately, reflecting on people's faces, which looks a little weird.

An hour and a half later, water began to appear in the passage, making people feel humid and hot. After traveling for more than ten miles, they actually walked out of the cave.

The front of the eyes suddenly opened up, and there appeared a tropical jungle and a pool. The water surface was steaming, and there were many brown aquatic plants floating, and there were some small red fish swimming under the water.

Bypassing the pool, two small paths appeared in front of them. Murong Fei and Fang Ming looked at each other and nodded silently.

Still according to the last grouping, they each took a few people to explore the unknown world led by the two roads.

Everyone agreed that after six hours, they would either return as a whole, or send at least one person back to exchange news.

The two of Jin Lin were at the back of the line, followed Murong Fei and the other two onto the dirt road on the left.

After more than an hour, a path paved with stones appeared in front of him. It was not long, only about three hundred feet long. If you looked around, you could see a large arched stone gate at the end.

Rows of ancient trees grow on both sides of the stone road, the leaves are golden yellow, very dazzling.

At regular intervals, there are a pair of identical stone statues on both sides of the path, or fierce beasts, or military generals, there are nine pairs in total.

The road is covered with fallen yellow-orange-orange leaves, and bones can be vaguely seen in the gaps between the leaves.

There are strands of purple-red magic energy floating in the air, like a ribbon in the hands of a court dancer, dancing lightly, erratic and unpredictable.

This stone road is terrifying and strange, and carries a hint of death.

Murong Fei reminded everyone to be careful, and the five silently set foot on the path.

The purple-red devilish energy became excited, ribbons quickly floated towards them, and everyone began to absorb or resist the devilish energy with all their strength.

The two of Jin Lin are fine, after all, one can easily transform and absorb, and the other has a pure fire physique.

Of the other three, only Murong Fei was relatively calm, and the remaining demon and casual cultivators seemed to be struggling, especially the casual cultivator had been injured in the previous round of exploration.

In order to avoid being entangled in the purple-red demonic energy, Moxiu rushed forward to the first pair of stone apes, and suddenly the two stone apes opened their eyes, jumped up, and attacked the man with great force.

Moxiu was taken aback, and hurriedly waved the halberd, covering his whole body airtight, and the black magic energy formed a shield of stellar energy outside his body.

With a loud "bang", an ape arm smashed through his mask, and then hit the halberd, crushing Moxiu so that he staggered.

Without waiting for him to adjust, the stone ape rolled deftly in the air and kicked him to the ground.

Another stone ape arrived, and he fell directly from the air, stepping hard on Moxiu's chest and head.

That berserk force immediately trampled off the halberd lying across his chest, and the two halberds pierced into the broken chest cavity, and his head was already rotten.

The purple-red demonic energy in the air penetrated strangely into the headless corpse, the flesh and blood disappeared quickly, and the darker demonic energy floated up, while only a white bone remained on the ground.

Seeing that no one was approaching, a pair of stone apes slowly returned to their original positions and stood quietly again.
