"Zhizhi..."

Inside the cave, which is about ten feet in diameter, there are many strange rocks. It is located in the southeast corner of a huge rock filled with pits. At this moment, a dazzling fire burst out.

And outside it, there are circles of fire rats walking through the mountains.

Its whole body is covered with red scales, its head is pointed and its body is wide and long, but its limbs are short and have sharp claws. Although it looks sharp and short, it looks extremely powerful.

When Zhou Yu and others followed Jiang Tao into the cave, what they saw was this scene.

About twenty or so mountain fire rats were pouring in from the collapsed mountain wall in the southeast corner along the broken cave to the strange flint the size of a millstone, and were gnawing continuously.

As their group stepped in, the alarmed group of mountain fire rats turned their heads one after another, looking at Zhou Yu and others with their red eyes.

In his eyes, there was a look of astonishment, followed by a ferocious look and a desire to eat.

Before anyone could make any move, the group of mountain fire rats in front of them pupated.

choke!

A cold light flashed, and Xiao Zhan immediately took action first. The Xiuchun Dao in his hand slashed out three red rays of light.

Suddenly, the tough bodies of three mountain fire rats were chopped open and smashed into pieces.

boom!

Jiang Tao also sacrificed the bell-shaped magic weapon in his hand almost at the same time. With a dull bell, it exploded and a group of mountain fire rats were shaken and staggered in mid-air.

At the same time, Zhou Yu, Wen Zhong and others took action one after another. The Qingming Sword flew out from the waist and nailed a mountain fire rat to the rock wall. In an instant, there were sharp swords one after another.

The energy then raged, causing the gravel and mountain fire rats in front of it to be cut and disintegrated.

In just a few breaths, more than twenty mountain-traversing fire rats in the cave were killed by everyone.

"I was careless. Although I sensed a pure fire energy in the cave, I didn't expect it to be the fire element crystal. Instead, I ignored the mountain fire rat in front of me."

After all the Fire Rats were wiped out, Jiang Tao said with a look of shame.

"It doesn't matter, I haven't sensed anything too dangerous ahead of me, but before moving forward, Fellow Daoist Jiang still has to use his spiritual sense to detect." Xiao Zhan heard this, waved his hand, and reminded.

"It should be so." Jiang Tao nodded, and as he spoke, his eyes focused on the fire element crystal inside the ore the size of a millstone.

"With such a large ore, if all the fire crystals were stripped out, they would weigh at least a hundred kilograms. This item is indispensable whether it is polishing high-grade fire-attribute magic weapons or making some low-level fire-based objects.

, why don't we all share one portion first, it won't waste much time."

"And if this thing is not cleaned up, it will definitely attract more mountain fire rats, which will have a lot of impact on our actions."

"In that case, please ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to deal with it quickly." Xiao Zhan, as the leader this time, said immediately.

"As for the division, let's put it aside for now and wait until we find the Fire Actor."

"In that case, I will keep this fire crystal for you all first." After Jiang Tao heard this, he no longer shied away. He immediately took out a pickaxe used for mining from the storage bag and took out the ore the size of a millstone.

A while of polishing.

Everyone saw that on top of the ore the size of a millstone, there was a burst of stone chips. Not long after, a fiery red crystal stone the size of a human head appeared in front of them. Jiang Tao put it into a storage bag and kept it.

.

"Okay, everyone, let's move on. At least these mountain-traveling fire rats didn't dig up this cave, otherwise we might have to take a detour again." Jiang Tao said happily after putting away the fire crystal.

.

"We have at least five miles to enter this cave at this time. I don't know how long it will be?" He asked after looking at the rubble on the ground and the body of the fire rat that walked through the mountain, wiping the hot sweat from his forehead.

"The temperature here is nearly five times higher than before we entered the cave. If we go deeper, I am afraid that before we reach the place where the Fire Yuan Fruit is, our own mana will have been depleted.

"

"Where the Fire Origin Fruit is located, molten magma flows all over the ground. Its temperature is at least ten times stronger than where we are now. Only in such a place can such a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to great benefits in spiritual practice, be born." Jiang

Tao said solemnly.

"But you don't have to worry too much. If nothing happens ahead, we can reach the place where the Fire Yuan Fruit is in half an hour."

"I hope so."

Boom...

In a fire cave, a fire-moving monster with a red body like a wolf rushed towards Zhou Yu, its exposed claws and fangs were like sharp hooks.

Zhou Yu held the Qingming Sword in his hand and quickly slashed out three swords at this moment. One sword knocked it back, the second sword broke through its outer skin that looked like gray stone but emitted red light, and the third sword pierced it straight through, and

Behead him.

"This is the fifth time." Zhou Yu's brows suddenly furrowed as he watched the second-level fire monster named Gray Rock Wolf whimpering towards death.

Since meeting the Mountain Fire Rat, along the way, as the temperature in the air has continued to rise, the number of encounters with fire monsters has also continued to increase, and even its strength has continued to grow.

The second-level monster named Gray Rock Wolf in front of him not only moves quickly, but also has a solid rock-like outer armor. It has sharp teeth and can cast a ground-piercing spell in this cave.

It's really difficult to deal with inside.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are most familiar with the Flame Cave. Could it be that there are many monsters like this on ordinary days?" After Xiao Zhan and Zhou Yu looked at each other, the former suddenly frowned and asked.

This path was chosen by Jiang Tao. Since the Jiang family could find the Fire Yuan Fruit in this flame cave, they would definitely not choose a path where monsters are so frequent.

Faced with Xiao Zhan's questioning and the ugly faces of Zhou Yu and others, Jiang Tao not only did not look sad at all, but instead had a smile full of surprise on his face.

"Everyone, we are almost there." Jiang Tao said immediately.

"The hot air here is nearly seven times stronger than when we first encountered the Mountain Fire Rat. I know it's coming soon, but counting this time, we have already been attacked by monsters five times.

Regarding this point, could Jiang Daoyou explain it?" On the side, He Bi saw that everyone's expressions were a bit wrong, and immediately reminded him.

"This further proves that we are almost there. Usually there are not so many monsters on this road, and the reason why such a scene appears now can only mean that the Fire Yuan Fruit is almost mature, and its emitted

The aura caused these fire monsters to go there one after another." Jiang Tao said, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at the crowd.

"What does this mean? It means that the Fire Origin Fruit still exists, but without the Fire Origin Fruit, it would be impossible for the Fire Practitioner to enter the Dao Foundation in such a short period of time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Jiang so sure that the Fire Yuan Fruit is still there? What if it was picked?" Zhou Yu asked. Although there are some genius treasures that lose their power to attract monsters after being picked, but just in case,

First, he thought it would be better to confirm clearly first.

"The Fire Origin Fruit is in a land of lava. It's okay not to pick it. Once the picking is cut off from the root, the aura that attracts fire monsters will be instantly dissipated by the smell of lava and sulfur. It is absolutely impossible to continue until now.

." Jiang Tao said with certainty.
