Chapter 360

Going Deep

In the underground fire cave, there are many tunnels, which are much more complicated than the mines of Shuilingmen.

The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has occupied this place for hundreds of years. During this period, countless monks entered it to collect underground fire. In order to obtain high-quality underground fire, almost everyone desperately looked for the remains of magma eruption. The cave was full of holes. Occasionally, if you dig into the erupting magma, you will die.

The magma erupted, sealed some caves, and then slowly solidified, and finally became a new rock wall again.

Generation after generation of monks, mining, digging, and death...

Repeatedly.

The underground fire cave is getting bigger, deeper, and more complicated. In the end, it almost formed an underground world.

It is not surprising that this place is called the underground world. In terms of geographical area, this place has far exceeded some small sects, and from top to bottom, the sense of hierarchy is very strong and the terrain is complex.

Moreover, there are many cultivators here. According to the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, there were 31,570 foundation-building cultivators in the Earth Fire Cave at the most.

However, a large number of cultivators never came out after entering the Earth Fire Cave. In fact, only one in a hundred can come out.

Ishikawa walked slowly along a narrow tunnel.

Looking at the complex tunnel, Ishikawa remembered the situation when he met Hua Yingwu.

Having experienced the battle in the mine cave, Ishikawa naturally attaches great importance to the mine cave map. So Ishikawa slowly drew the map while walking.

In Ishikawa's sea of ​​consciousness, groups of weak divine thoughts accumulated into the shape of a mine cave. As Ishikawa went deeper, the mine cave kept getting longer and more and more complicated.

This made the entire mine cave clearer in Ishikawa's mind.

The golden-winged sparrow spirit and ten silver-winged sparrow spirits were also summoned by Ishikawa.

They all possessed Ishikawa.

There are a lot of fire spirits here, which is of great benefit to the sparrow spirits.

The silver-winged sparrow spirit is very respectful to the gold-winged sparrow spirit. Whenever it encounters a weak fire spirit, it dares not swallow it and lets the gold-winged sparrow spirit swallow it all.

"Friend Shi, there are a lot of fire spirits here. It is really a treasure land for my sparrow spirit clan to practice. I didn't expect that there would be such a place on such a wild planet." The gold-winged sparrow spirit said happily, "This place is even comparable to a small city on my sparrow star."

The purpose of Shichuan's coming here is to find a large amount of fifth-level earth fire for escape. By the way, it also allows the silver-winged sparrow spirit to improve its strength. If these ten silver-winged sparrow spirits are all upgraded to the golden elixir stage spirit body, then Shichuan's strength will be greatly increased, and there will be absolutely no danger in the trip to Lijiang.

"Can the senior feel the high-level earth fire?" Shichuan asked.

Although Shichuan has practiced the five spirit conversion technique, his spiritual root is still the earth spiritual root, and he does not have much perception of fire spirits.

"Don't worry, my friend. My clan of sparrows lives by fire and lives by fire. Any high-level earth fire will not escape our investigation. By the way, are you here to find the fifth-level earth fire?" asked the golden-winged sparrow spirit.

"That's right!" Ishikawa replied. Ishikawa was too lazy to explain the training to the golden-winged sparrow spirit.

"From what I have found, this is just the top of the earth fire cave, and the ground is very smooth, obviously it has been walked many times, and there has never been magma passing through. It is impossible to find high-level earth fire in such a place."

"What does the senior mean?" Ishikawa asked.

"If you want to find high-level earth fire, you must go down. The deeper you go underground, the greater the probability of finding high-level earth fire. But it also depends on your tolerance. As long as you can find magma, we can get fire spirit from it with our spiritual body." The golden-winged sparrow spirit rarely sees a place with such abundant earth fire, and spares no effort to persuade Ishikawa to go down.

The so-called tolerance is nothing more than the amount of ice fruit wine. As long as there is enough ice fruit wine to drive away the burning heat of the fire spirit, it should be possible to go very far.

Ishikawa pondered for a while. Not long ago, Ishikawa had arranged for the water ape to brew spirit wine with icy properties, but it was not clear whether this spirit wine could achieve the effect of ice fruit wine. So Ishikawa was not in a hurry to go down quickly.

"The ground fire below the fourth level belongs to you Taoist friends, and the ground fire above the fifth level belongs to me." Ishikawa said, "And you Taoist friends also know that even if I get the fifth-level ground fire, I can't use it. After all, it belongs to you Taoist friends."

"Okay!" The golden-winged sparrow spirit laughed and replied.

Ishikawa wanted the fifth-level ground fire in order to use the sparrow spirit secret technique to escape. And the one who performed this technique was of course the golden-winged sparrow spirit. So the golden-winged sparrow spirit had no reason to disagree.

And those silver-winged sparrow spirits only obeyed the orders of the golden-winged sparrow spirit and dared not disagree.

Tunnels connected to tunnels, like a maze. Ishikawa went all the way down and walked for five or six hours without encountering a cultivator.

When no one was around, the Golden-winged Bird Spirit and the Silver-winged Bird Spirit could wander around freely. Even the smallest spiritual power in the tunnel was devoured by them.

During the journey, Ishikawa also discovered a serious problem. That is, the consumption of ice fruit wine was extremely high.

As Ishikawa went deeper into the cave, the earth fire became more and more fierce. Although Ishikawa had already used Taoism to resist the impact of the fire spirit, his whole body was still burned by the earth fire.

The rock wall was slightly red and it was a little hot to the touch.

The whole cave was very quiet. No creature could survive in such a place.

Occasionally, Ishikawa could hear the very slight sound of viscous magma flowing.

It was unknown whether the sound came from underground or from behind the rock wall.

According to No. 1's calculation, their more than 20 pots of spirit wine could last for a month. But as they went deeper, Ishikawa found that more than 20 pots of spirit wine could last for ten days.

And as they went deeper, more ice fruit wine was consumed.

In less than a day, under Ishikawa's thrifty drinking, the ice fruit wine was still consumed.

Ishikawa had no choice but to drink a few mouthfuls of the ice cold spirit wine just brewed in the Immortal Mansion to force out the turbid air of fire in his body.

"One piece of third-level earth fire can be exchanged for a bottle of ice fruit wine!" Ishikawa smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although the price is ridiculously expensive, the cultivators here have no other choice. If Ishikawa did not have a large number of spiritual herbs planted in the Immortal Mansion and could not brew spirit wine by himself, he would probably have to work hard to mine earth fire every day like other cultivators in exchange for ice fruit wine that could save his life.

"This spirit wine must be brewed for at least seven or eight days before it matures. If you eat the spirit fruit raw, it will not have any effect." Ishikawa sighed and drank another big mouthful of spirit wine. The spirit wine that had just been brewed also had the effect of expelling fire spirits, but the effect was very weak.

…………………………………………

One day later, Ishikawa went around dozens of tunnels and experienced seven or eight dead ends before finally coming to a relatively empty cave.

This place was about four or five hundred feet wide, with a huge magma in the middle. In the magma, thick black smoke and purple-red flames rolled.

There were many monks scattered around the magma.

Ishikawa took a quick look and found that there were about hundreds of people.

Some people gathered in a corner, seemingly discussing something. Some others surrounded the magma, looking straight ahead.

Some others even found a place to put out some elixirs, spirit wine and other things and started trading.

Ishikawa guessed that this should be a resting point and trading point.

From the cave entrance to this place, Ishikawa has not found any ground fire above the third level, which means that the ground fire above has been collected by the monks.

If you want to collect more advanced ground fire, you must go down.

But it takes at least ten hours to hand in the ground fire and buy ice fruit wine every day.

If you can trade here, it will be much more convenient.

"Boy, are you new here?"

As soon as Ishikawa appeared, he attracted the attention of several gangs.

Four or five groups of people slowly approached Ishikawa.

"Geng Laoer, this is my place, don't steal people from me!" A sturdy man shouted.

"Your place?" Geng Laoer is a very short man, only half the height of an adult, but his head and limbs are huge, which looks very weird.

"When I, Geng Laoer, came here, you might not have been born yet!" Geng Laoer snorted coldly and said, "If fighting is not allowed here, I would have turned you into ashes long ago."

"Boy, come here!" The sturdy man pointed at Ishikawa and said.

"Oh, there's a newcomer, with delicate skin and tender flesh. Once roasted by the ground fire, the skin will be burnt." A red-dressed woman also floated in.

Ishikawa glanced at these people and said coldly: "I don't have any intention of joining you, so you don't have to waste your energy."

After that, Ishikawa went straight through the crowd.

"Hahaha... Another man with backbone has come!" Geng Laoer laughed loudly, and after the smile, his face turned cold: "Keep an eye on him, as soon as he leaves here, kill him immediately!"

"Yes!" Several foundation-building cultivators left quickly.

"Two more are coming!" Someone shouted.

Sure enough, two more people came out from the entrance. These two people are No. 1 and No. 2. They took a lot of detours and arrived a little later than Ishikawa.

"You two come here!" The burly man was obviously upset about Ishikawa's performance just now.

"Get out!" No. 1 squeezed out two words from his teeth, and the cold light in his eyes made the burly man shudder.

"These two have high cultivation!" The burly man said as he looked at No. 1 and No. 2 going away.

"In the underground fire cave, what's the use of high or low cultivation?" Geng Lao Er curled his lips and said, "The newcomers are getting more and more ignorant. Even if we unite, we can't let them waver. It seems that we have been living too comfortably during this period. We should kill a few people to cool down."

"It should have been done long ago." The burly man sneered and said, "Leave these two to Brother Geng, and I will deal with the previous one."
