Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 64 Crimson Stone Ape

He had calculated that as long as Luo Qing and the others weren't fools, they would definitely choose to escape into the Golden Sun Secret Realm.

In this way, he could send his disciples inside to hunt down and kill these people one by one!

Wang Heng was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.

It wasn't just because Old Monster Crimson Fire's words were all reasonable, but also because the strength he displayed was far beyond what their Myriad Sound Sect could contend with.

"My lord, what Fellow Daoist Chi Huo said is not without reason."

Zhou Yuan noticed her husband's embarrassment and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying softly:

"It is said that this Golden Sun Secret Realm was created by the Heavenly Mirror Hermit, who modified that ancient secret realm in order to refine his natal magic weapon."

The secret realm is heavily fortified and is by no means a safe place.

Now that the die is cast, we can only blame ourselves for making a poor decision.

"Hmph!" Wang Heng snorted coldly, suppressing his anger, and reluctantly cupped his hands towards the Crimson Fire Monster:

"Then I, Wang, wish your disciple a resounding victory, and hope that nothing unexpected happens!"

Having said that, Wang Heng turned around and raised his voice:

"Let's go!"

Soon, all the disciples of the Miaoyin Sect boarded the ship and retreated towards the setting sun.

......

Jinyang Secret Realm, Eastern Outer Ring Road.

As soon as a spatial rift appeared, Luo Qing's figure shot out from it.

Although he was three or four zhang above the ground, Luo Qing relied on his strong physical body to create a crater when he landed, without suffering any damage.

The next moment, Luo Qing raised his Iron Bone Shield, assumed a defensive stance, and simultaneously activated his Averting Evil Spirit Eye and Divine Sense, scanning his surroundings.

He found himself on a barren mountain composed of red soil and red rocks, surrounded by only a few strange plants and trees. In the far west, a golden tower resembling a pyramid could be vaguely seen.

Three hundred feet above this giant tower, a huge round mirror with ancient patterns floats.

Compared to the giant tower, this mirror is only slightly smaller, yet it is still a colossal object!

Even more astonishingly, beneath the rolling red clouds of the sky, there were seven such round mirrors.

Although the view below them is not visible, there is clearly another giant golden tower there as well.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Luo Qing withdrew her spell and took out a water shield talisman from her storage bag, sticking it to her shoulder.

"It's so hot! If I don't use my magic to protect myself, I won't last a moment longer; I'll die of dehydration!"

Although there are many things that urgently need to be done, the most important thing is undoubtedly to find a place where the fire elemental power is slightly weaker and to recover some of the mana.

Fortunately, Luo Qing was lucky; there was a cave on a desolate mountain in front of him.

Without time to hesitate, Luo Qing took a step and ran towards him, covering a distance of about ten feet.

In the blink of an eye, he descended the desolate mountain and arrived at the valley between the two mountains.

For some reason, this place has many interconnected golden ponds of varying sizes, all bubbling and gurgling.

If you fell in, your bones would probably be boiled to a pulp in an instant!

Before Luo Qing could remain puzzled for long, the cause of these golden ponds was revealed to him.

Then, the giant round mirror in the sky slowly rotated to a position that complemented the crimson clouds in the heavens.

Instantly, countless rays of light converged, and a huge golden pillar of light crashed down like divine punishment, striking a mountain more than ten miles away from Luo Qing.

In an instant, the entire mountaintop melted away, transforming into a large golden pond.

Although the surrounding heatwave had become even hotter, Luo Qing felt a chill in her heart.

If he were hit by that shot, he would surely be annihilated on the spot!

This immediately made Luo Qing's desire to hide in the cave even more urgent.

But there is still one hurdle to overcome. Although those golden ponds look perfectly calm, a sweep of divine sense reveals nothing unusual.

However, in Luo Qing's protective spiritual eyes, many of them were emitting black malevolent energy, indicating that something was hiding inside.

Given the unique environment of the Golden Sun Secret Realm, Luo Qing dared not judge the target's strength solely based on the amount of malevolent energy.

So he activated his concealment technique, hiding behind a boulder. Then he took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and threw it into one of the problematic golden ponds.

The spirit stone quickly flew over a distance of several dozen feet and landed in the golden pond with a "plop".

"roar!"

The next moment, accompanied by a furious roar, a crimson stone ape over ten feet tall leaped out of the golden pond, frantically pounding the ground while searching around.

The golden veins covering his body shone brightly, as if blood were flowing through them, with one in the center of his chest being particularly striking.

"It's alright, he's only at the peak of Qi Refining."

Luo Qing, who was hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief. If the dangers in this golden pond were all at the Foundation Establishment level, he would have had no choice but to take a detour, which would have introduced many more variables.

Just to be on the safe side, Luo Qing tried a few more times to make sure that the cultivation level of these crimson stone apes was no higher than that of Foundation Establishment cultivators before stepping out from behind the giant rock.

Sure enough, as long as he got close enough, even if he used his full concealment technique, he would still be detected by these crimson stone apes.

However, having lost the advantage of surprise attacks, these crimson stone apes would often be smashed to pieces by Luo Qing's Blood Bone Fist as soon as they jumped out of the golden pond where they were hiding, as if they were sending themselves to their deaths.

It's hard to say whether these red stone apes are demonic beasts.

Once they die, their bodies turn into worthless red soil and gold.

The only thing left was a golden stone that had fallen from their chests.

After a quick inspection, Luo Qing was shocked to discover that these golden stones were actually mid-grade spirit stones, and they were both gold and fire!

Iron Bone Skill is a metal-element skill, and he was in the Golden Sun Secret Realm, so the pressure on him to recover his magic power was already enormous.

This kind of gain is like a pillow delivered to someone who's sleepy!

Therefore, Luo Qing did not hesitate to spend some time luring and killing a few more crimson stone apes to collect twenty mid-grade spirit stones before continuing his journey toward the cave.

Before long, Luo Qing arrived at the cave.

Looking into it with his spiritual eyes, he unsurprisingly discovered a malevolent aura.

With no time to find another hiding place, Luo Qing could only cautiously step inside and probe inward little by little.

But after going in about a hundred feet, he heard a "click" under his feet, and his entire right foot sank into the ground.

"Mechanical arts!"

Luo Qing was startled and cried out that something was wrong.

The next instant, two plumes of pink smoke flew out from the stone walls on both sides, spraying Luo Qing's face!

Although he managed to hold his breath in time, his blood gradually became hot, making it increasingly difficult for him to even concentrate his magical power.

not good!

Such methods can only be performed by humans, and apart from him and those two unlucky guys, there are only Foundation Establishment cultivators here!

In a flash, Luo Qing immediately fell to the ground, pretending to have been hit and lost the ability to resist.

But in reality, given the strength of his essence and blood, he could hold on for a while longer.

"As long as I kill the people in the cave before I can't hold on any longer, I still have a chance!"

The thought had barely formed when a series of footsteps approached.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice rang out:

"It was you! Oh well, perhaps this is my fate!"

With a sigh, a fragrant robe was draped over Luo Qing's head, causing him to lose control of his magical power.
