At this time, having received full affirmation from the Earth Spirit Rat, Lin Tianming suddenly had a big smile on his face, thinking that he was right in his guess.
However, Lin Tianming did not know what kind of strange fire was underground and how many red flame crystals there were before they entered the underground space.
The more this happened, the more Lin Tianming looked forward to everything in the underground space.
As for this sense of anticipation, it is not only to obtain the desired Red Flame Crystal, but also to see if it is possible to subdue this unknown strange fire.
If he could really obtain a new kind of strange fire, Lin Tianming’s gains would be unimaginable.
At the very least, compared to the planner, the Earth Spirit Rat, Lin Tianming's income is obviously far greater than its.
Because of this, Lin Tianming was very much looking forward to the next step.
With this in mind, Brother Lin Tianming smiled and looked towards the Earth Spirit Rat.
Then, Lin Tianming said, "Senior, now that we are here, let's act as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the Earth Spirit Rat also responded, and then took the lead in drilling into the ground below.
Soon, the three-meter-tall body of the Earth Spirit Rat sank into the desert and disappeared, leaving only its residual breath.
At this time, Lin Tianming, who saw this scene, did not waste time and hurriedly followed the direction where the Earth Spirit Rat disappeared.
Behind Lin Tianming, Qin Xi was also unwilling to fall behind.
In this way, the ground spirit rat burrowed into the ground first, followed closely by Lin Tianming and his wife.
After entering the surface of the desert, Lin Tianming and his team sneaked deeper underground.
With the ground spirit rat in front, Lin Tianming and his wife's dive was much easier. They only needed to go deeper along the passage opened up by the ground spirit rat.
The Earth Spirit Rat is an earth-attributed monster. Its nest is usually deep underground, and its normal activities are mostly underground.
In this case, the ground spirit rat can move very quickly, and relying on its huge body, the passage it opens up is very spacious.
Therefore, Lin Tianming and his wife dived quite smoothly and the whole process did not require much effort.
However, with their cultivation strength, they can still reach deep underground even without the earth spirit rats digging the tunnel in front of them.
It just takes a little more effort than asking the ground rat to help clear the way.
Now, with the Earth Spirit Rat taking the initiative to clear the way, Lin Tianming and his wife did not have to waste their efforts. They followed the route taken by the Earth Spirit Rat and easily caught up with it.
In this way, the Earth Spirit Rat was in front, and Lin Tianming and his wife followed behind.
A quarter of an hour later, the Earth Spirit Rat and Lin Tianming and his wife had dived nearly several thousand feet away.
At this time, as they continued to dive, they were approaching the direction mentioned by the Earth Spirit Rat.
At this moment, Lin Tianming could also clearly sense the changes nearby.
Not only him, but even Qin Xi could sense how obviously different their location was from the ground.
Among these changes, the most obvious one is that the soil underground has completely hardened, and the diving speed, which started from a thousand feet, has slowed down significantly.
In addition, the deeper you go, the faster the surrounding temperature rises.
When it comes to a location of several thousand feet, the surrounding temperature is several times higher than that on the surface.
At this temperature, if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage were to stay here, he would probably not be able to hold out for half a quarter of an hour before gradually losing his resistance due to the rapid consumption of his spiritual energy and the extremely hot temperature.
Even some ordinary Jindan stage cultivators would not be able to hold on for long in such a harsh environment.
In particular, as the diving depth continues to increase, the suppression force from the terrain and environment is also increasing at an exponential rate.
If this continues, once the diving depth exceeds five thousand feet, the suppression force will be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming and his wife each had the help of strange fire, so resisting this rapid consumption and the extremely terrifying temperature, although it was obviously a little difficult, but overall it was not too difficult.
Especially on Lin Tianming's side, the strange fire on his body was formed after multiple strange fires devoured and fused with each other, and finally formed a mutated flame.
With the help of this flame, the high temperature here has almost no substantial effect on him.
Even if the diving depth exceeds five thousand feet, it would not be difficult for Lin Tianming to deal with it.
On the other side, Qin Xi didn't have much trouble resisting.
At the very least, Qin Xi would not be in fatal danger because of the temperature and terrain here.
As for the Earth Spirit Rat, thanks to its special talents and abilities, it was able to deal with it with ease.
After all, the Earth Spirit Rat is at least a powerful fourth-level monster, and its body's defense is enough to cope with this temperature.
However, the deeper they went, the more difficult it became for the earth spirit rats to cope with.
In the end, the strength of the Earth Spirit Rat will also be affected by the environment, resulting in a certain degree of decline.
In this regard, the Earth Spirit Rat has been here many times and has been mentally prepared and has some means of dealing with it.
Therefore, although the subsequent diving speed of the Earth Spirit Rat slowed down significantly, it was still extremely smooth overall.
In this way, as time went on, the diving depth finally exceeded 5,000 feet and reached more than 5,100 feet.
Once they broke through this distance, the Earth Spirit Rat and Lin Tianming and his wife suddenly rushed into an extremely large space.
This sudden change was like breaking through some kind of boundary and finally entering a huge empty space.
Looking around at this moment, the space is boundless and the edge cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Even with the exploration of divine consciousness, it was still impossible to find where the edge was.
However, this vast and empty space was only the first impression. What really caught Lin Tianming's attention was that the temperature here suddenly rose to a higher level.
For this reason, Lin Tianming took a few breaths to adapt before gradually returning to normal.
Beside him, Qin Xi also took several breaths to adapt to the sudden increase in temperature.
However, this terrifying temperature, which suddenly exploded, would be so terrifying that ordinary Jindan stage cultivators would probably not be able to adapt to it for a while.
It is even possible that some Jindan stage cultivators will lose the ability to cope due to sudden discomfort.
This sudden change can be very fatal at certain moments.
From this point of view, we can understand the horror of this highest temperature.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming and his wife had some help from strange fire, and after a short period of discomfort, they quickly returned to normal.
Then, Lin Tianming was also carefully looking at the huge space in front of him. Following his line of sight, although the space was extremely huge, Lin Tianming was able to detect the edge with the help of the Five-Colored Eye.
With this, Lin Tianming also roughly determined the diameter of this space, which was at least nearly a thousand feet.
In the center of this space, there is a deep pit of several dozen feet, and there is boiling red magma in the pit.
Not only that, in the center of the deep pit, there was a fist-sized flame hovering in the air.
Looking at this moment, the surface of the hanging flame was red, with a faint hint of silver inside.
If you feel it carefully, you will find that the scorching temperature of this space comes from the flame in the deep pit.
At this moment, seeing this scene in front of him, Lin Tianming immediately showed a look of joy.
The reason for this is that he is extremely certain in his heart that the flame before him is one of the strange fires in the world, and its name is Red Lotus Karma Fire.
This kind of flame ranks 41st on the list of strange fires in heaven and earth, which is a very high position.
As for the characteristics of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, it is mainly reflected in its extremely high temperature and abnormal violence.
In addition, the birth of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is also very critical. Generally, only in a place with extremely strong flame power, and deep underground, after thousands of years of crustal movement and collision, can a trace of flame be born.
Afterwards, the newly born flame must go through a long period of sedimentation and continuous growth after baptism before it can reach the basic level of strange fire.
In this case, the attack power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire usually appears to be extremely strong, almost comparable to the terrifying existences in the top 20 of the Strange Fire List.
In addition, the Red Lotus Karma Fire is quite spiritual when it is without a master, and it will become extremely sensitive as it grows.
Normally, once someone approaches the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the flame will quickly and violently attack, as if it wants to drive away everything and everyone that approaches it.
Because of this, the power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is very strong at all times, so it is extremely difficult to obtain this kind of fire.
Knowing this well, when Lin Tianming saw the red lotus fire, his face suddenly turned rosy and he was extremely delighted.
For this reason, Lin Tianming couldn't help but mutter to himself at this moment.
"It is indeed a strange fire!"
"It's the Red Lotus Karma Fire that ranks 41st on the Strange Fire Ranking!"
At this time, hearing what Lin Tianming said, Qin Xi, who was standing aside, had previously guessed about this kind of flame in his mind, and finally thought that this kind of flame was the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
However, she was not so sure about her guess.
Now, after hearing Lin Tianming mumbling to himself, Qin Xi finally confirmed that what she thought was correct. This kind of fire was exactly the one she had guessed in her mind.
Knowing this, Qin Xi was also extremely excited at this time.
Because she also knew very well how attractive any kind of strange fire was to Lin Tianming, and she also understood how much help and improvement the strange fire could bring to Lin Tianming.
Now, having encountered another kind of strange fire, and one that is relatively high on the strange fire list, Lin Tianming will definitely not miss such a rare opportunity.
Once Lin Tianming obtains the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he will also gain huge benefits.
By then, Lin Tianming's strength will be strengthened again.
By that time, even if Lin Tianming has not yet entered the Nascent Soul stage, I am afraid that with his strength alone, he will be able to confront most of the fourth-level monsters head-on.
And once he truly enters the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Tianming's strength will surely have a qualitative leap.
Therefore, it is foreseeable how strong Lin Tianming would be at that time?
More importantly, the Blood Red Alliance at that time no longer posed a fatal threat, and the crisis facing the Lin family could basically be resolved.
At the very least, as long as Lin Tianming is alive, the Lin family will not be in danger of extinction.
A powerful Nascent Soul cultivator has some terrifying deterrent power in the current world of immortal cultivation.
Even a powerful force like the Blood Red Alliance would not dare to offend a Nascent Soul Stage expert easily.
What's more, Lin Tianming, at the Jindan stage, already has the strength to compete with the early Yuanying stage cultivators.
When he officially enters the Nascent Soul stage, his strength will also experience an explosive growth.
At that time, even if a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage attacked him, it would probably be difficult to pose a fatal threat to him.
Therefore, whether in the future or now, this beam of red lotus fire in front of him will have a huge impact on Lin Tianming, and what is involved is not as simple as increasing strength.
In this situation, no matter what he faces next, Lin Tianming will never give up on obtaining the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
After realizing this, Qin Xi felt a strong sense of anticipation in addition to the excitement of encountering the treasure.
While Lin Tianming and his wife were pleasantly surprised, brick-sized stones would occasionally surge out of the magma in the deep pit.
At a glance, this stone is black all over, with a little gold color on the surface. It emits bursts of light all the time, and looks quite dazzling.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tianming, who had finally calmed down, became excited again.
"It is indeed black gold and black iron!"
While Lin Tianming was marveling at this, Qin Xi on the other side also discovered that these stones were undoubtedly the black gold and black iron that the Earth Spirit Rat had mentioned.
However, the magma was constantly surging, and the black gold and black iron that were pushed up soon sank into the magma and disappeared.
As for when these black gold and black iron will appear again, no one can accurately predict.
Lin Tianming was not worried about this.
Because in his plan, helping the Earth Spirit Rat to obtain a portion of the Red Flame Crystal was only the basis, and it was also to fulfill the agreement between them.
In addition to this, he must also obtain the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Once the Red Lotus Karma Fire is refined by him, the magma inside the deep pit will gradually solidify because it has no support from the strange fire.
By that time, the solidified magma would be nothing to be afraid of, and part of the red flame crystals inside the magma would fall into his hands without any effort.
Therefore, there are many benefits to taming the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the profits it brings will be unimaginable.
Of course, this kind of thing must not be known to the Earth Spirit Rat.
After all, the Earth Spirit Rat is at least a powerful fourth-level monster, and is also the developer and decision-maker of the entire plan.
At the same time, in order to obtain the Red Flame Crystal that he had been longing for, the Earth Spirit Rat did pay a certain price in this treasure-hunting plan.
