Chapter 264: Fire Skylark King, Vitality Like Mist Clear spring water gurgles out from the cracks in the rocks, forming a stream that flows over rocks of varying sizes. She pulled her two clean little feet out of the water, shook off the water stains, and put on the shoes that had been dried by her power. She hummed a song comfortably, stood up, fixed her hair, and said, "Okay, this is much more comfortable. Let's go." Chu Ge emerged from the forest at the back and looked at Feng Jie who had just finished washing her feet by the stream opposite. He said, "It's just stained by the volcanic ash. It's not like you stepped in shit. Do you need to wash it so carefully?" "vulgar!" Feng Jie rolled her eyes, "I'm not as good as you. I still have magic shoes to wear and a snake bag to carry a bunch of clothes. If these shoes get dirty, I won't have a replacement." "You're such a neat freak." Chu Ge shook his head, "Let's go." At this time, the two were more than ten miles away from the volcano that was spewing thick smoke. According to the conditions depicted on the map, and compared with the surrounding mountains and forests as well as the terrain in the distance, they still had at least six or seven hundred miles to go before they could reach the Yuan Mine. However, such a vast space left Chu Ge and Feng Jie feeling puzzled. At that time, they clearly entered the ruins from the rock wall of a cliff.
I thought that even if the space inside the ruins was large, it would not be so large as to cover an area of thousands of miles. But now compared with the surrounding environment, this relic is probably a completely different world. After discussion, the two agreed that the previous portal on the cliff was most likely just a decoy formed to match the formation, a passage leading to the real ruins. The real ruins of the Yunmeng Sect are surrounded and hidden by a large formation, located in the mountainous area near or behind the cliff, so the area is vast. However, due to the confusion of the formation, no one can enter the ruins without passing through the portal. "Perhaps, the mist that often floats in Yunze is the work of Yunmeng Sect's formation. Or, Yunmeng Sect's formation can use the power of the magical mist to perfectly hide this relic." Feng Jie expressed her guess on the way. Chu Ge nodded in agreement. He had the same thought in his mind. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Qian again and communicated with her quietly through the spiritual transmission. "Xiao Qian, why were you so agitated after you found the mist in the snake treasure's bag? What did you notice? You can tell me now." Speaking of this, Xiao Qian seemed to feel a little cautious and timid, but also quite nervous and excited. Her two small tentacles immediately stuck to the sides of Chu Ge's neck, communicating with Chu Ge mentally. "Xiao Qian didn't notice any fog. She was just sleeping in her bag when she was suddenly awakened. At that time, she felt a very strong attraction, as if there was something very close and familiar outside that was attracting Xiao Qian." Chu Ge was surprised, "Very close? What is it? A living thing or a dead thing? Can it help you become stronger?" "I'm not sure, but it may be something she was born with. Maybe it has something to do with the place where Xiao Qian was born. It will definitely help Xiao Qian become stronger, very strong, and stronger than the pillars." "Surpass me?" Chu Ge laughed in silence, not knowing whether what Xiao Qian said was an exaggerated expectation or the truth. Xiao Qian grasped Chu Ge's emotional fluctuations and immediately put her hands on her hips and emphasized seriously. "It's true. The way we are born and raised to become stronger is different from yours. Our spirits are purer and can reach a limit more easily than you." Chu Ge suddenly realized and somewhat understood what Xiao Qian meant by becoming stronger than him. It is roughly equivalent to Xiao Qian's strongest strength below the Condensation Realm before her breakthrough. After the breakthrough, he became the strongest person below the Spirit God Realm.
If he were to break through again now, he might possess some of the power of a strong man in the Extreme God Realm. Not to say that he would be stronger than all the strong men in the Spirit God Realm, but at least he would be stronger than most of the strong men in the Spirit God Realm. However, the specific details can only be compared after Xiao Qian breaks through. Chu Ge still didn’t quite believe that Xiao Qian would become stronger than him after her breakthrough. Maybe he is simply stronger than him at the spiritual level and can pose a great threat to him. But even so, it is still exciting. "The Tiger King Mace also reacted to the Dragon Slaying Sword and Tiger Binding Belt that appeared in the mist. Those two magical weapons may also be part of the Tiger Soul Blade." Chu Ge was still somewhat looking forward to the mystery within the Yunze mist, and had an urge to go in and take a look. But the various dangers rumored still made him hesitate. Not to mention the dangers within the Yunze Mist, there may also be dangers lurking in the depths of the ruins where we are now. Chu Ge and Feng Jie did not rush at full speed in a very high-profile manner. They both walked forward in a low-key manner, holding a black paper umbrella. After walking more than 300 miles, they discovered that the strange power in the air around them had become increasingly strong, and even powerful strange monsters and birds began to appear. However, because both of them were holding black paper umbrellas, the strange monsters nearby seemed to ignore them, and even when they were fighting each other, they did not attack them. Feng Jie was doubtful all the way, holding the black paper umbrella in one hand and tightly grasping the Guanghan Sword in the other. Several times, strange monsters suddenly jumped out from nearby, and she couldn't help but almost took action. But he did not encounter any attacks during these several times, and was surprised at the black paper umbrella given by Chu Ge. "Where did you buy this paper umbrella? It's really useful." Chu Ge glanced at Feng Jie and said, "Are you interested? I'll sell it to you at a low price, fifty force crystals." Feng Jie was startled, and after thinking for a while, she hesitated, "Are you asking for too much? Although this umbrella can restrain the energy and reduce the sense of presence after it is opened, it is not worth so much if it is useless to the Spirit God Realm." As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a shocking bull roar coming from the valley ahead, like rumbling thunder, with astonishing power. Feng Jie's eyes narrowed, "It should be a great demon at the peak of concentration!" As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the temperature of the air around her rising rapidly, steaming hot, making her face a little rosy and beautiful. "Hmm? Why do you feel a little hot all of a sudden?" Chu Ge was also surprised and looked at Feng Jie whose face was rosy. Immediately, the faces of both of them changed. The spirit noticed it and immediately dodged to the shade of a tree nearby. Xiao Qian and Xiao Gui also immediately shrank into Chu Ge's cloak, feeling strongly threatened. The next moment, an extremely powerful spiritual force descended from the sky, and a bright light like a fire cloud appeared in the sky, as if a group of red clouds were pressing down. "Hey!——" A sound that pierced through gold and split rock suddenly came. However, a powerful spiritual power broke through the clouds in the air, revealing a giant bird with fiery red feathers all over its body. The feathers on the bird's head were flying like flames, and there was even a faint golden horn with golden spiral patterns.
The giant bird was fiery red all over, and it seemed as if a piece of fire descended from the sky as it passed through the clouds, illuminating the valley basin below like a pot of burning charcoal. "It's the Fire Skylark King from Yunze. I didn't expect it to really exist. How did it appear in this ruins?" Feng Jie exclaimed. The old ginseng man snorted, "What's so strange about that? This little firebird was born and raised in Yunze. No ruins can confuse it. It can come in whenever it wants. If there were any good treasures, it would have eaten them long ago." "Moo——" a sad and desperate roar of a cow echoed in the valley. Under the astonished gaze of Chu Ge and Feng Jie, the giant bird stretched out its anchor-like claws and grabbed a bull monster that was more than four meters long from the valley. It was as if a sharp giant claw surrounded by flames pierced the cow's belly, and the blood was evaporated by the flames before it could spill. The Fire Skylark King rose into the sky again, flapping its flaming wings. It towered in the sky like the scorching sun, stirring up hurricane-like heat waves. The grass on the ground around it shrank a little, and the dew evaporated into bursts of steam that rose into the sky. "Wow—" The Fire Skylark King's eyes, as sharp as flowing fire, swept in all directions, passed directly over where Chu Ge and Feng Jie were, and then broke through the air and flew away through the clouds. Soon, the red clouds gradually dissipated and faded, the breathtaking spiritual power also gradually disappeared, and the high temperature around quickly cooled down. "At least he is a strange bird demon king in the late Spirit God Realm. He may not be much weaker than the Ice Qilin." Chu Ge took a deep breath and firmly memorized in his mind the majesty and posture of the strange bird when it appeared just now. He felt that this strange bird was of great help to his understanding of the last part of the Vermillion Bird embroidery in the Four Symbols Embroidered Robe. "It didn't notice us just now?" Feng Jie wiped the sweat off her smooth forehead, suddenly realizing the problem, and looked at the black paper umbrella in her hand. She immediately said to Chu Ge, "Your paper umbrella is indeed a good thing. I'll buy it for fifty yuan of alien power crystals." Chu Ge stretched out his hand, "Knot now." Feng Jie felt like veins were popping out of her forehead. Did this guy think she would refuse to pay? He immediately took off the two waist bags behind his waist and threw them to Chu Ge. "Here are exactly fifty pieces of alien force crystals. I'll give them all to you." Chu Ge quickly took it, weighed it, put it into the Snake Treasure bag with a smile, and said, "This black paper umbrella will lose its spirituality after being used a few times. You have to repeatedly infuse it with spirituality, and then I will activate it before you can use it. If I were to do all the maintenance, each maintenance would cost five Force Crystals." "What!?" Feng Jie's voice suddenly rose several decibels, her beautiful eyes glaring, "So this thing was made by you?" Chu Ge shrugged, "Of course I made it, but the materials and production process are not simple. Look at the pattern here. This is a handicraft. How much time will it take for me to make it myself? And this is not for sale, ordinary people can't buy it, I'm giving it to you at a friendly price." "You are so cruel!" Feng Jie was a little annoyed and felt a little frustrated. But he also felt that what Chu Ge said made some sense and he couldn't refute it, so he got annoyed and ignored Chu Ge. Chu Ge looked at the old man, "Old man, you just said that the Fire Skylark King can enter and exit the ruins freely? How do you know this?" The old ginseng man said complacently, "Of course I know. I lived in Yunze for a long time many years ago. At that time, this little firebird was still very small and not so strong. It seems that it has eaten a lot of good food over the years, and its strength has improved rapidly."
"Oops!" It cried out in annoyance, looking worried, "I should have shouted for the little firebird to save me." "It's true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure!" Chu Ge exclaimed, then shook his head and said, "But don't even think about expecting this flat-haired beast to save you, I'm afraid it will swallow you in one gulp. You should stay with me. I can still provide for your old age. I don't want your life. I just want to live off you. I'll take a few of your beards and arms and legs. I hope you live as long as possible." Feng Jie was listening to the conversation between the two people and felt both angry and amused at Chu Ge, this shameless guy who was living off his parents. The old ginseng man was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Chu Ge said, "Don't scream at me. Since you have lived in Yunze before, you should know what the Yunze Mist is, right? Tell me about it." The ginseng old man was so angry that he became autistic. He closed his eyes and turned his head away, ignoring Chu Ge, thinking that he was just a turtle chanting sutras. Chu Ge threatened and intimidated for a while, but seeing that the old man was determined to sulk, he decided to stop while he was ahead. He said that one should respect the elderly and love the young, there is still a long time to come, and he should not push the old man too hard. He immediately set off again with Feng Jie. Just now, the Fire Skylark King suddenly appeared to hunt, and the increasing number of strange monsters around him seemed to flee in all directions. The rest of the journey was relatively calm. As they got closer to the Yuan ore vein, the strange power in the air became stronger and stronger. The mountains and fields seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was blown away by the wind like dancing wisps of gauze. The surrounding vegetation also became gigantic and magical. The weeds, which were originally waist-high at most, have now grown to a height of one person. The trees in the surrounding mountains and fields are all towering giants. Even in winter it is extremely dense, filled with strange spiritual light, and floats gently. Some of the mushrooms growing under trees in the mountains are taller than a person, and they emit a strange mushroom smell that makes you dizzy just by smelling it from a distance. In this environment, you can feel the strange power stirring in your dantian with just a breath, and it feels as if your spiritual qualifications have been improved. Chu Ge landed on a leaf that was bigger than his feet with an umbrella. His figure rose and fell with the leaf. He looked around and said in surprise, "Now I believe that a pig could become a powerful person in the Condensation Realm by lying down in ancient times." Feng Jie said solemnly, "Be careful. I feel that the closer we are to the Yuan Mineral Vein, the more dangerous it is. I am afraid that demon kings at the Spiritual God Realm like the Fire Skylark King will live there to guard the Yuan Mineral Vein and depend on each other." "Yeah, I noticed that too." Chu Ge looked towards the deep forest in front of him. From his current height, he could see that the forest in the distance looked like a vast and endless sea of fog. The rich strange power is almost materializing, and it may be the vital energy brewing deep inside. The mountains in the distance and the big trees at the foot of the mountains seemed to have sunk to the "bottom of the sea". Only the towering peaks, like islands in the sea of fog, stand on the vast "sea". According to the ginseng old man's hint, the Yuan ore vein is deep in the vast sea of fog. He can already feel the auspicious pendant hanging on his cloak as a warning. The clearer his idea of heading for the Yuan Mine became and the more determined and powerful his actions became, the stronger this warning feeling became. However, the current level of warning is still within his acceptable range.
He glanced at Feng Jie and said, "I'm going to use some of my own methods to avoid risks. You follow me closely." Feng Jie rolled her eyes. "Just keep going. I won't hold you back. At the critical moment, maybe I will come to save you." "What a woman who has been so strong all her life. How will she get married in the future?" Chu Ge muttered, and rushed out before Feng Jie could get angry. He quickly used the Ziwei secret technique with both hands to investigate the surrounding situation. "This damn guy! Did you think I didn't hear you?" Feng Jie's eyes were spitting fire. However, she couldn't get angry and make too much noise in such a dangerous area, otherwise she would have to fight with Chu Ge fiercely to see if this brat's mouth was as powerful as her sword. At this time, she had to hold the hilt tightly and quickly follow. (End of this chapter)
