Chapter 185 Seven Human Leaders Who Have Not Refined Their Bodies
The two miners who were hiding behind the rubble and cowering had to stand up after hearing this.
They had witnessed this young man chasing away the fire lion and returning safely after chasing into the depths of the magma. He was obviously not an ordinary ruthless character, so they were naturally in awe of him.
"We can accompany you to the guard at the door to explain the situation. As for whether they will take you to see the leader, we have no control over it." One of the miners said.
The three of them then came to the cave entrance together.
"Young man, where is the fire crystal you dug?" The thin guard asked when he saw Yuan Xiao empty-handed.
"I didn't dig the fire crystal, but I killed a fire lion. I wonder if it counts as a credit?" Yuan Xiao said.
"Did you kill the fire lion that often kills people?" The thin guard was shocked, and then looked at the two miners behind him with an inquiring look.
The two miners behind Yuan Xiao took a step forward and said, "Although we didn't see this young man kill the fire lion with our own eyes, he knocked it down with a few punches and chased it into the depths of the magma. We saw it with our own eyes."
The thin guard and the fat guard believed that this young man had such strength, and they couldn't help but take it seriously. So the fat guard took Yuan Xiao to the halfway point of another mountain next to him.
"Brother, why are the human race and the demon race fighting here?" Yuan Xiao asked as he walked.
"It's all for the fight for the fire crystal. The output of the fire crystal is extremely low, and it has a weak body refining function. In order to use the fire crystal to prolong life, the human and demon races have to fight for it. At the same time, the war can kill many people, so that the survivors can get some of the fire crystal." The fat guard said.
What a cruel fact! In order to compete for the limited fire crystal to prolong life, they deliberately use war to reduce the number of people.
"Is it that everyone here will die, and no one is an exception?" Yuan Xiao asked.
"Yes, either you wait until the spiritual energy in your body is exhausted and your body decays and dies, or you die in the mouth of a monster while mining, or you die in the hands of the other side during the battle between humans and demons. Even if you get the fire crystal, it can only delay death, and you still can't escape death! If there is an exception, I only heard from the leader that someone successfully escaped from here seven hundred years ago." The fat guard said.
The two of them had unknowingly come to the halfway point of the mountain. There are several stone caves on the mountainside, and the residence of the human leader is also very simple, in one of the stone caves.
The fat guard walked into one of the stone caves and reported first. After a while, the fat guard came out of the cave and made a gesture of invitation.
Yuanxiao walked in without hesitation, only to see that the cave was quite spacious, but there was no decoration. An old man with white hair and beard sat next to the stone table.
"Isn't it strange, why is this place so simple? Living a life of uncertainty and waiting for death every day, how can I have the mood to decorate here. My name is Qidao, what is your name, my friend?" Qidao asked.
"Yuanxiao from the Huangjin Sect of Beipingzhou."
"I have just heard about your contribution. You killed the invading fire lion in the mine and chased it to the depths of the magma. I only have one question for you. Do you take it seriously?" Qidao stared at Yuanxiao and asked.
Yuanxiao nodded.
"Then I'm sorry!" Qidao suddenly said, then jumped over and punched Yuanxiao.
Yuanxiao did not dodge, and punched out, colliding with Qidao's fist in the air.
Yuanxiao only retreated a foot, but Qidao was blasted several feet away, and his body flew back and hit the wall of the cave before stopping.
"Yuanxiao, your punch is more convincing than anything else. I believe you killed the fire lion!" Qidao said, then stood up with the help of the wall, and walked back to the stone table and sat down.
"Just now, I took action purely to test your strength, please don't blame me! With your level of physical training, you can already walk sideways in this lawless place, but it's a pity that you can't get out!" Qidao said.
"May I ask how long have you been here, Senior Qidao? Are there any places here that you suspect are exits?" Yuanxiao asked straight to the point.
"I heard that this lawless place has existed for more than a thousand years. I was deceived into this place more than 500 years ago. In the past five hundred years, I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers here. Except for the magma sea deep in the mine, I have not found any other suspected exits." Qidao said.
"Then why don't you rush out of the magma sea?" Yuanxiao asked.
Qidao smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am a cultivator who has passed the tribulation, I have never practiced the body-refining method, so my body is very weak. I was very strong outside before, because my body was blessed with the mana of the tribulation period, so it seemed strong. In fact, 99% of the cultivators here have not practiced body-refining."
"After losing the blessing of mana on the body, those of us who have not practiced body-refining are just like mortals here. Even if my body is stronger than others, it is limited. I have explored the sea of magma, and at most I walked to a boiling place in the middle of the magma, and I could no longer withstand the high temperature and had to return empty-handed."
Yuanxiao immediately knew that what Qidao said was true, because in the process of chasing the fire lion just now, he did pass a place where magma was rolling and boiling. After there, the temperature in front was getting higher and higher, and for Qidao who did not practice body-refining, it was naturally more and more difficult.
"I heard that someone successfully escaped?" Yuanxiao asked.
"More than 500 years ago, not long after I came in, I heard from the previous leader that more than 700 years ago, a demon cultivator accidentally broke in. His Taoist name was Hunyuanzi. He practiced a peerless body-refining technique and reached a very high level of body-refining. With his strong body, he killed several monsters in the sea of magma, and finally jumped into the sea of magma, reached the other side of the sea of magma, and disappeared in the dark cave." Qidao said.
"Then how can you be sure that Hunyuanzi must have escaped, rather than died in that cave?" Yuanxiao asked.
"This is because the current demon leader Tieshan happened to meet Hunyuanzi in the human world before coming here. He was also deceived into coming in more than 500 years ago, so the Hunyuanzi he saw was the Hunyuanzi who escaped 700 years ago." Qidao explained patiently.
Yuan Xiao felt relieved. It turned out that after practicing the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique to a very high level, even without the healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl, he could still withstand the damage of the magma sea and reach the other side.
He also practiced the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique given by Wu Lao Mo. Although it is only a small success at present, with the help of the healing power of the Apocalypse Pearl and the purple five-element pearl to transform the fire attribute aura to increase the resistance to fire damage, it should not be a problem to swim to the other side by enduring the magma damage.
"How many people are there in this lawless place now? Are they all waiting to die here?" Yuan Xiao asked.
"According to the introduction of the previous leader, plus what I saw with my own eyes, more than 3,000 human masters have come here in the past 1,000 years, and more than 2,000 demon masters. Most of them have died due to the exhaustion of aura and the decay of their bodies. Currently, there are only more than 1,000 human cultivators and more than 800 demon cultivators left here." Qidao sighed.
"What can I do if I don't want to die? Without any spiritual energy, I can't withstand the high temperature of the magma sea. Moreover, the fire crystal is actually a chronic poison. Although it can be used to refine the body and delay the decay of the flesh, it contains a lot of fire poison. The more the fire poison accumulates in the body, the more it destroys the foundation of cultivation. It is also like drinking poison to quench thirst!" Qidao said with a wry smile.
