Chapter 288: Exactly the same
It’s not that Shu Daoshan wants to stop, but the people from Liantian Sect are not happy. They will follow you around again and again. How long will it take? Where are you walking the dog?
The Liantian Sect's group all wore maroon clothes. The leader was named Zuo Zisheng. He had two short mustaches on his lips and a tough look on his face. His sleeves were often rolled up, with his forearms exposed.
It was he who called for a halt when he could no longer bear it, and scolded: "Gu Lianni, how long are you going to take us around?"
The people from Shudao Mountain said that they had discovered an ice dragon with five sacred fires on its body. No one family could take it down, so they asked them to join forces to get it, and they were willing to give them three of them.
The temptation of getting three divine fires at once was too much to bear, so he ran over.
Now it seems that I find myself a little possessed by the devil. How can there be such a good thing as so many divine fires?
Gu Lianni explained: "I don't know what happened. This place should have been a plain before, but I don't know why it turned into a continuous iceberg. It's really unbelievable. Brother Zuo, look, this iceberg is obviously different from ordinary icebergs. This ice is extremely transparent..."
Zuo Zisheng raised his hand to stop him. "We are not here to accompany you to see the scenery. I don't believe you can't even find the place. Where is the ice dragon you mentioned?"
Gu Lianni smiled bitterly, "Brother Zuo, please be more patient. We still have to look for it."
Zuo Zisheng frowned and said coldly: "Gu Lianni, where are the rest of you? Why haven't you been seen for a long time? Are you trying to delay us on purpose so that others can act?"
Gu Lianni sighed: "Brother Zuo, you think too much. How long can this drag on?"
Zuo Zisheng glanced at her, then suddenly flew up into the air on his wind scales, cast a spell in mid-air and said loudly, "Let's go!"
A group of Liantian Sect disciples immediately followed and flew into the air.
Gu Lianni hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zuo, I am not lying, there is indeed an ice dragon here..."
"Let's talk about it after you find it. Let's go!" Zuo Zisheng left the conversation and led a group of people away quickly. There were only forty-nine days and time was precious.
The remaining group of people from Shudao Mountain looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Pang Hou ran to Gu Lianni and said, "Uncle Master, there must be something wrong. I found the place where the formation was set up at the beginning. I followed the trail and walked back to here. For some reason, this plain suddenly turned into a mountain range. After we left, something must have happened here. I wonder if it has something to do with the ice dragon."
Gu Lianni gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what happens, we must find the magic tools of the Locking Yuan Array, otherwise what will we do next? Those divine fires are not flowers, they will not wait for us to pick them. If we really have to play hide-and-seek with the divine fires, then no matter how many people we have, it will be difficult. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. We must find them!"
Pang Hou and Yuan Yao both looked towards the continuous mountain range of icebergs. They wanted to find it, but the problem was how to find it, as this was a vast mountain range that towered into the sky.
Gu Lianni also knew it was difficult to find, but she still insisted: "Everyone estimate the approximate location first, then cast a spell to melt it, and drill under the iceberg to search."
Yuan Yao: "Uncle Master, once we get down there, the melted ice will quickly freeze back into ice. We won't be able to melt out a passage. Our movements down there will be very slow. If we keep doing this, we won't be able to handle it with our cultivation level."
Pang Hou also said: "Yes, if we can't find it, do we have to stay here for the entire period of the opening of the Divine Fire Domain?"
Gu Lianni: "Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to stay here forever?"
Yuan Yao: "Something must have happened here. I wonder if Shi Chun and the others saw it."
Gu Lianniton was so angry that her teeth itched. "So what if he saw it? Can he go down and help us find the Locking Yuan Array Artifact? Don't mention him to me again. Don't let that bastard fall into my hands, otherwise I will make him wish he were dead!"
When she thought of Shi Chun, she could recall how Yuan Yao couldn't persuade her, she could recall how she swore a solemn oath on her father's behalf, she could recall how she was deceived and caused the death or injury of the entire team, and she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
She really didn't understand why she was so stupid. The entire cultivation world knew that the man was a liar. She knew that he couldn't be trusted, but she was so stupid that she almost cried.
Yuan Yao suddenly said, "Uncle Master, I am angry, but I have to admit that Shi Chun's method of luring the tiger away from the mountain to steal our sacred fire was good. Although he failed in the end, the key reason for his failure was that Elder Jin reminded us. If we hadn't returned in time, he would have succeeded."
Gu Lianni was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "You mean, we should imitate their methods?"
Yuan Yao: "I'm afraid it's hard to imitate. We know of more than just the Icefield where the Divine Fire may be hiding. Shi Chun doesn't have the Locking Yuan Formation device, so the key is how he caught the Divine Fire in the Icefield. I mean, with such a good method, would he only use it once?"
Gu Lianni's eyes lit up slightly, "You mean, we should wait at the exit?"
Yuan Yao: "That's right. If we see him use the same old trick again, we can follow the clues to catch Shi Chun. As long as we can crack his way of finding the divine fire, we can make up for our loss of the Locking Yuan Array. Of course, we can't put all our hopes on them. What if they don't have a next time? It would be a waste of time. So, we can send some people to wait in secret, and the others still have to rush to the next divine fire den to find a way."
The anxiety on Gu Lianni's face gradually disappeared. She looked him up and down with admiration and thought to herself, no wonder her father said that he was the most suitable team leader.
Pang Hou also expressed his appreciation: "Uncle Master, this is indeed worth a try."
Gu Lianni: "Okay, you will take a few people to keep an eye on them. Be careful and cautious, and don't easily alert the enemy."
Pang Hou bowed and accepted the order.
So the matter was settled. Pang Hou led three people away, and the rest followed Gu Lianni to the next divine fire den recorded by the sect...
It was dawn, and the sun, big and small, appeared in the sky again.
Not too far from the Iron Forest, the blocking stone was pushed down, and Tong Mingshan came out refreshed. An Wuzhi, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave next door, holding two balls of ice flames in his hands, immediately stood up and slipped to the door. He had the divine fire in his hands, so it was difficult for him to go out, so he asked excitedly, "Brother Sect Leader, how is your cultivation level improving?"
Chen Wuji, who was taking a walk on the mountain, also jumped down, with the same curious look on his face, wanting to know.
Tong Mingshan was also a little excited. "The improvement in cultivation is not too much. He is still at the advanced stage of high martial arts. The Fire Element Realm should be equivalent to the minor stage of human immortal."
An Wuzhi said with envy: "The Fire Element Realm is high enough, and the subsequent breakthrough will not be a problem."
Then he offered the two sacred fires in his hand and said, "You have to take care of these. I'm going to go find the boss."
Tong and Zhu both absorbed two divine fires, but he only absorbed one. He couldn't wait to find the boss.
As soon as Tong Mingshan took over, An Wuzhi ran away immediately. Chen Wuji frowned slightly, thinking that An Wuzhi seemed to have forgotten Shi Chun's instructions.
About three hours later, Zhu Xiangxin also came out.
Zhu Xiangxin was very excited after being released from confinement, and went to find the boss as soon as he came out.
As a result, he was stopped by Chen Wuji, "Xiang Xin, the boss came here before and told you to stay and guard the two sacred fires after you come out of seclusion, and let Tong Mingshan accompany the team.
The big boss asked us to make it clear, saying that there was nothing to hide, that this was a grand event for the weapon refining industry, and that we had to take care of the sect master first, and that we had to let the sect master participate in the championship after we left, and that we had to give an explanation to the people who had brought us in. The big boss said that anyone who had any objections was allowed to withdraw, and they would not force us! "
Zhu Xiangxin was stunned. Although he seemed to be hesitant to speak, he finally took the two divine fires from Tong Mingshan.
There was no other way, she had no choice. If she withdrew, it would be useless on her own. She would go to another sect and find the Divine Fire. But the people in her own sect didn't have enough to share it with, so how could they give it to outsiders?
If you behave yourself and listen obediently, you still have a chance.
Besides, she also knew that An Wuzhi had only absorbed one flower, and if there were more, it would not be her turn for the time being.
Tong Mingshan smiled bitterly, apologized, bowed, took a few steps back, then turned around and flew away.
Chen Wuji, who had seen her off, turned back to look at her and said with a wry smile, "I'll accompany you and continue to go out for a walk."
On the vast loess wasteland, there are huge pits like leprosy everywhere, and the pits are full of strange-shaped pillars, some are shaped like bamboo shoots, some are shaped like mushrooms, some are shaped like snakes, and some are shaped like earthen forts. All kinds of strange shapes are twisted in them.
From time to time, smoke floats over the wasteland. This is the dust that rises when holes occasionally collapse underground.
A group of people were searching among them.
Some of the twisted earth pillars fell over when they were stepped on during the flight, while others fell over when they were touched, causing puffs of smoke to rise.
A group of people in blue clothes were lying behind a slope and spying on the actions of the people in the big pit. These people in blue were none other than those from Qianyan Sect.
A gust of wind blew up a cloud of dust that covered the sky. Gong Shixi, who was in the lead, quickly turned his head and said in a deep voice to the people around him: "Right now, be careful, go ahead!"
The two men immediately took advantage of the dust to slip into the pit.
Gong Shixi raised his hand and called out, "Retreat!"
He led a group of people and quickly retreated into a nearby pit to hide.
Soon, a scream was heard, "Shenhuo! Stop them, don't let them run away!"
Soon, a group of people rose into the air and chased after the two men who were riding the wind scales. One of the men was holding a light purple flame in his hand.
After those people left, all the people from Qianyan Sect jumped out. Gong Shixi stared at the figures in the sky as they disappeared, and waved his hand, saying, "Why are you being so polite? Let's search!"
A group of people immediately flew into the pits to search...
There is a hole on the mountainside near the exit. In order to facilitate observation, the cautious Wu Jinliang has modified the observation point. He dug the hole directly to the top of the mountain and then made small holes here and there, making it difficult to be discovered and convenient for observing the surroundings.
After they had enough rest and were bored, Lao Changtai and Fang Zicheng kept pestering Wu Jinliang to tell stories. After they finished telling the story about the divine fire, they asked him to tell the story of the exile land.
Wu Jinliang was talking eloquently while holding the "Ice Sheep" when Lao Changtai, who was looking out the window from time to time, suddenly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Someone is coming."
The other two heads immediately squeezed over, one on the left and one on the right, to observe.
Seeing two people landing in front of the ten elders on the top of the mountain, one of them holding a lavender flame in his hand, Lao Changtai couldn't help but exclaimed, this scene was too familiar to him, it was not the first time he saw it, just that the people had changed.
