Under the investigation of Gu Zuo's mental strength, he found that the fire ape was indeed completely dead, so he turned out from behind the giant rock and jumped to the front of the fire ape's body.
Gongyi Tianheng retracted the spear, and a slight sweat broke out on his forehead.
Gu Zuo didn't go to autopsy this time, but asked with concern: "Brother, are you all right?"
Gongyi Tianheng put away the sternness in his eyes and said in a gentle tone: "Nothing, with Azuo's help, it is more effective with less effort."
Gu Zuo looked at Gongyi Tianheng up and down and found that he had no scars on his entire body except the sleeves and hem of his clothes that were burned by the heat, and he immediately felt relieved: "It's fine, it's fine ."
Gongyi Tianheng took out the elixir and swallowed it, quickly meditated to adjust his breath, and regained his true energy. Gu Zuo saw that he still had some time to adjust before he went to deal with the fire ape.
This fire ape is quite high-level, but Gu Zuo already has experience in dealing with spirit-level desolate beasts, so dealing with the corpses of eleven-level desolate beasts in this area is naturally no problem.
In less than a stick of incense, Gu Zuo had already collected all the materials and ran over with satisfaction to see how his eldest brother was recovering.
Gongyi Tianheng just opened his eyes and stood up.
Gu Zuo looked up at him.
Gongyi Tianheng smiled and said: "You and I take the fire-proof pill, go down and have a look."
Gu Zuo followed Gongyi Tianheng's line of sight, and the place "below" was the volcanic crater full of billowing magma.
- In fact, the location of the Earth's core fire can only be under the magma, at the bottom of the crater. Otherwise, it is impossible for the fire ape soaked here to make such a big progress in a short period of time.
After swallowing the fire pill, Gongyi Tianheng took Gu Zuo to the crater.
When they got closer, the two of them only saw the fire waves rolling down below, countless flames churning inside, and when the magma burst, there was a crackling sound, as if there were fire dragons, all jumping out of it!
Gu Zuo took a deep breath, and then he couldn't help coughing several times.
This flame is too intense!
Fortunately, this fire ape is extremely powerful and possessive. This crater is exclusively enjoyed by a wild beast, and other wild beasts are not allowed to meddle at all. Therefore, if the two of them want to descend to the interior of Hidden Dragon Mountain, all they need to overcome is the fiery magma.
Gongyi Tianheng took Gu Zuo's arm and said, "Hold your breath."
Gu Zuo did so immediately.
The next moment, the two of them fell straight from above like a boulder, and immediately fell into the magma!
Hot, so hot!
Gu Zuo felt that his hair was about to burn. Although the power of the fire-proofing pill was very strong, the endless heat still persevered and wanted to get into his body and burn his internal organs. He subconsciously released his mental power and covered a thin layer on the body surface of himself and Gongyi Tianheng—this was indeed useful. Although it could not isolate all the heat from the outside world, it could also allow them to obtain a certain amount of energy. Time to breathe.
At the same time, Gongyi Tianheng also released his true energy, which also covered the surface of the two of them. Gu Zuo was pulled into his arms by him with a little force, the distance between the two people decreased, the area to be covered by mental power and infuriating energy decreased, and the power they consumed was also decreased.
Gu Zuo tightened his spirits, as Gongyi Tianheng quickly descended, and at the same time, he did not only focus on fighting the heat outside, but also carefully sensed it, trying to find the true location of the fire!
Sure enough, the further down you go, the purer the flame feels, and even between the gathering flames, it gives a more flexible feeling.
The flame was originally a dead thing, and the strange fire had spirituality, but the magma fire at this time actually gave people the illusion of forming a real life...
Indeed an illusion.
Gu Zuo tried to release his mental power in such a posture, aiming at a group of fire that was about to form a fire ape-like and released it. In an instant, the fire was scattered. The flames that he thought were very flexible spread out in an instant, and he couldn't be free at all. Be flexible, and it is even more impossible to attack like a real living creature!
Gu Zuo had a subtle feeling in his heart, but this feeling flashed by and didn't give him much thought - what he should do at this time is to quickly find the fire!
Two people, the deeper and deeper.
Gradually, the surrounding magma became hotter, penetrated through several layers of protection, and infiltrated in strands. Gu Zuo felt that his skin was hot, but his elder brother's skin was still cool—no, maybe it was only relative For him, it was very cool.
Sweat slid down Gu Zuo's body and stuck to his body because of the cover of his clothes. He was panting slightly from the heat, but he still had to control his mental power to protect the two of them. Otherwise, the magma would be rampant. , but was immediately burned to death!
Before he knew it, Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng were even tighter.
His fingers unconsciously passed through Gongyi Tianheng's brocade robe and stuck to Gongyi Tianheng's skin. He also pressed his hot cheeks and directly rubbed against Gongyi Tianheng's bare neck. His legs kept rubbing and wrapped tightly around Gongyi Tianheng's legs. He wished that his clothes didn't exist so that he wouldn't be so hot to such a miserable condition...
Hot, hot, hot! So hot-
Gu Zuo's consciousness gradually blurred.
He only knew that he had to keep going down and down, to find the fire of the earth, to protect himself, and to protect his big brother. But clearer thoughts, he no longer exists.
I don't know how long it took, but Gu Zuo only knew that he was sticking to something that made him feel a little cool, and he was not willing to part with it at all. He only had the idea of "down", and the rest disappeared...
Suddenly, Gu Zuo's body fell, and the soles of his feet stepped on something solid. However, his mind was still muddled, until there was a little pain on his forehead, and a slightly lower and magnetic voice came from his ear:
"Azuo, Azuo wake up!"
"Open..."
"We... to... "
"Azo?"
"Good... already... "
"It's not hot anymore..."
When the voice became clearer and clearer, Gu Zuocai came back to his senses in a trance: "… Brother?"
His tone was still a little vague, but his consciousness was much clearer. He remembered that he was immersed in magma all the way down with his elder brother, to find the core fire, but then it got hotter and hotter, and he didn't know anything. So now, what happened? Or, has it arrived
Gu Zuo released his mental power and swept around.
In an instant, the nearby scene entered his mind, and he also "saw" that it was indeed a cave, or rather, a mountain cave.
There are red stones everywhere, but unexpectedly, it is not as hot as those with magma above, but just a warm feeling like spring. Such a flame is pure and gentle, as if it is harmless. , can be picked arbitrarily.
Gu Zuo was about to find the source of those flames, where the Earth's Heart Fire was, but his head was lightly patted. He wondered: "Brother?"
Gongyi Tianheng's voice was very helpless: "Azuo come down?"
Gu Zuo blinked and lowered his head.
Only then did he realize that his body was completely... hanging on his eldest brother.
With his legs wrapped around his waist and his arms around his neck, he looked like a koala. It would be fine if it was just like that, but Gu Zuo never imagined that there would be even worse!
The warm and jade-like touch under the hand...
Gu Zuo silently pulled out his hand.
His eldest brother's clothes were in a mess, and his chest was exposed. His face was still tightly attached to it. In the lower back, it was, it was—
Gu Zuo felt that maybe there was "no shame" written on the left side of his face and "no shame" written on the right side, or maybe there was a big stamp on his forehead called "embarrassment", and all his thoughts were "I was wrong" "what!
… How should I apologize to the big brother
Gu Zuo acted immediately and jumped off the person quickly, his hands and feet quickly returned to their original positions, and he was about to make a sincere apology - but the next moment, his expression was a little distorted.
"Brother, aren't you—hiss!"
Feet are so hot!
Gongyi Tianheng held his forehead.
He reached out and grabbed Gu Zuo's collar, lifted him up, put him on his feet, and then sighed: "...Azuo, although it's not very hot here, the ground is warm due to the existence of the Earth's Heart Fire. It's hot, and you step on it with bare feet, it must be inappropriate."
Gu Zuo nodded: "Oh, thank you big brother..."
Gongyi Tianheng shook his head, one hand still protected Gu Zuo so that he would not fall, and the other hand began to organize the torn clothes.
Gu Zuo thought that he was too much before, and it was only at this time that he remembered that the coolness he touched when he was hot during the period of falling into the seemingly endless magma should be his eldest brother! His eldest brother is clearly a handsome young man with long clothes and long hair, but just now he made it look like he was being bullied, which is really outrageous.
So he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm sorry, I was confused just now."
Gongyi Tianheng's movements were quick and quick, and he had quickly sorted himself out. Seeing him so depressed at this moment, he comforted him softly: "It's just a trivial matter, Azuo doesn't need to mind."
Gu Zuo somehow remembered the touch on his finger before, his thoughts stagnated, and then he immediately threw out that strange feeling, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, big brother."
Gongyi Tianheng laughed and said: "Okay, I'm fine now, but Azuo, your short boots have just been lost for some reason. Now hurry up and take out a pair from the storage compartment and replace them." He raised his eyebrows and smiled again, "If Azzo doesn't want to change it, it's fine. It's interesting for me to walk with Azzo like this."
Gu Zuo: "..."
No, it's not funny at all! He is so embarrassed that he wants to burrow into the cracks of the ground, okay
But he also knew that his eldest brother was trying to divert his attention so that he would not be entangled in this matter all the time, so he calmed down, quickly took out his shoes and put them on, and then jumped directly to the ground.
Now that his feet are not so hot, he can also escape the teasing of his elder brother!
After the little episode, Gu Zuo quickly recovered and started to do serious things.
Since this cave is the end point, it must be the location of the Earth's Heart Fire. Originally, the Earth's Heart Fire was not a particularly tyrannical flame. It was in such a state that it seemed to be able to figure it out.
Then, Gu Zuo turned his head, ready to search.
And after he turned his head like this, he unexpectedly discovered... Just about ten meters in front of him, there was a flame connected to a fiery red thing, burning quietly.
Gu Zuo was a little embarrassed: "Earth, earth core fire?"
Don't you need to dig three feet into the ground, or kill some wild beast that guards the flames, or go through some difficulties and overcome some obstacles to find it? This is too easy, isn't it a scam
But it's useless to think so much. You have to try it before you know the clue.
So, Gu Zuo approached the flame cautiously.
Seeing this, Gongyi Tianheng also stepped up and followed: "Azuo, don't touch it at will, observe carefully, so as not to make any mistakes."
Gu Zuo nodded in front: "I see, big brother."
Soon before the fire of the earth's heart, the two of them carefully observed.
That bunch of flames is very beautiful, showing a warm orange-red color, like a wall lamp that Gu Zuo once saw in modern times. Although the color is rich, it is not dazzling. After approaching, you can also feel the scorching heat of this flame, as if attracting people to touch it, and as if warning others not to touch it.
Gu Zuo's heart jumped slightly and suddenly because of this flame.
Then, his eyes were attracted by the fiery red thing below. It looked like a crystal? Its shape is like a lake, but its color is extremely pure. What is this
Gongyi Tianheng approached, and suddenly said, "Huo Lingyu."
Gu Zuo turned around and muttered to himself: "Yes, ordinary materials cannot contain the fire of the earth's core, but the fire spirit jade is different. It grows in the place where the fire of the earth's veins is abundant. Once it is generated and picked, it will It can carry different fires. I don’t know if this piece of fire spirit jade was generated because of the existence of the earth core fire, or it was originally accompanied by the earth core fire. In short, the earth core fire settled on it, and the fire spirit jade Conducting the fire power in the earth veins is constantly nourishing the earth's heart fire..."
Gongyi Tianheng listened to Gu Zuoxu's words, his eyes softened slightly.
"I see! If the geocentric fire is not provoked, the flame is a long stream of water and relatively mild. The fire that it overflows bakes the stone walls and spreads upward through the gaps in the grottoes above. Over time, the rocks in the mountain will be separated from each other. All kinds of substances melt into strange magma. Of course, because the entire Tibetan Dragon Mountain is integrated, it originally formed an extreme balance. All magma is sealed within the mountain body. If there is no external force, at least there will be a lot more. It takes years for the magma to break through the shackles of the mountain. However, a thunderstorm from the sky broke the balance. After the mountain was damaged, the magma overflowed, and the firepower of the earth's veins leaked. The magma that has been integrated into the fire force of the earth's core has formed such a strange experience today... "
Gu Zuo was talking eloquently at this time, his eyes flashing, and he was quite confident: "If we don't come, the heart of the earth may not receive much nourishment after the fire, maybe it will decline in the future, or maybe it will break out of this place on its own. Shanbei, was subdued by other alchemists or someone, or became angry and wreaked havoc everywhere. But now that we are here, it is different. While its temper is still good, I have to subdue it quickly. When the time comes, I will It’s a great help, and when the level is higher in the future, when you want to refine better medicine pills, you don’t have to be afraid!”
Seeing his bright smile, Gongyi Tianheng said with a smile, "This is Azuo's chance."
Gu Zuo was also really happy.
Gongyi Tianheng said again: "Since this is the case, Azuo, why don't you hurry up and use the "Fuhuo Tianxin Art"?"
Gu Zuo nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
In order to avoid long nights of dreams, Gu Zuo did not hesitate to come to the beam of flames. Immediately, he used his hands to perform hand tricks, changing countless mysterious postures on his chest, revealing many mysterious trajectories.
Gongyi Tianheng glanced at it, although he didn't intend to learn it, he could also see that there was a supreme truth in it, and he could faintly stir the nerves in his brain to make him memorize it, wait for the brewing, and produce enlightenment in the future.
Over there, Gu Zuo performed very quickly. In a short period of time, those trajectories formed an invisible giant net, opening the dense minions and covering the flames.
Unexpectedly, the flame was very docile. Although a few sparks were splashed out at first, it took less than a few seconds before it was immediately driven away and flew towards Gu Zuo quickly.
Gu Zuo captured it originally because he wanted to immediately run the mind technique and the fire suppression art to absorb the strange fire and store it in his body, but when he just captured it in his hand, he immediately noticed the difference.
"No, it's not Earth Fire—"
Before the words could be said, a hole was opened on the bare fire spirit jade, and then a ray of fire rushed out from it, like a small fire meteor, rushing in the other direction!
The fire is going to run away!
Gongyi Tianheng reacted extremely quickly. The moment Gu Zuo opened his mouth, he realized something was wrong, and his body flickered to block the place of the fire! With a flip of his palm, he was full of energy and rushed out like a huge wave. Although the fire light was powerful, it was also hindered by this energy for a moment, and at this moment, Gu Zuo had turned around, aimed at the fire light, and played the most powerful grabbing art in the fire fighting art!
Gu Zuo didn't have time to think about what was going on. He just subconsciously felt that he couldn't let go of that beam of fire, which made his hand speed increase by two or three percent. The fire shrouded the past!
This time, it is no longer an invisible giant net, but four or five, seven or eight, layer after layer, covering it from all directions without any gaps!
The flames dashed to the left and right between the invisible giant net, struggling frantically, but as the invisible giant net shrank, the strength of the struggle continued to decrease, and it was gradually being subdued...
After a long time, the struggle of the flame disappeared completely. It was as docile as the previous flame, and it came to Gu Zuo as gently as it was, hovering quietly.
Gongyi Tianheng came over and watched the flames with Gu Zuo.
Gu Zuo couldn't help admiring: "Brother, I thought that the previous flame was already beautiful, but now I see this ray, and I realize that it is very different... This fake and the real thing are put together, and I feel so different."
Gongyi Tianheng nodded: "This is the real fire of the earth."
It is also orange-red, and the color is pure, but the fire of the real heart fire is brighter, the color is brighter, and the feeling is more comfortable. It jumped nimbly, and it was obviously a lifeless thing, but it seemed like a naughty child looking at it with that mischievous eye.
It turns out that the flame that seemed to be the core fire just now is just the residual flame released by the real core fire. It blooms the afterglow of the core fire, so it looks so real and beautiful, but in fact , but still not as good as the real heart.
When it was caught by Gu Zuo, it was found that it was like an ordinary flame. Once there was no support, there were signs of dissipating, and the real core fire was still as real, even if there was no need to add some firewood, it could still burn independently. It is an essential energy that exists only in the form of fire itself. When using it, it will not be consumed, it just needs its own infuriating energy to be replenished, and if it is not replenished, it cannot be controlled. And if you give out one of the flames to others, it is the real consumption.
Gu Zuo looked at the fire in the heart of the earth and felt a breath-taking beauty.
Immediately, he slowly exhaled, and once again displayed the Fu Huo Art, supplemented by his own mental method, resisted the flame with the palm of his hand, and absorbed it into his body bit by bit.
The flames slowly flowed from the medicine bead, split into countless threads in an instant, scurrying in all directions! Each strand of silk thread, after passing through a certain formed bone bead, stopped for a while, entrenched quietly... Slowly, now Gu Zuo has seventy-six bone beads, and in each of them, there are It contained a ray of orange-red flame, which seemed to dye the bone beads into a crimson color.
The warm heat lingered in the body, accompanied by fine stinging pains - but it could be endured. After the last ray of flame was also contained, Gu Zuo opened his eyes and withdrew his hand. He felt that the earth core fire had been completely controlled by him, but it was just that before the sea of qi was generated, he had to use them and consume more infuriating energy.
Gongyi Tianheng looked at him: "Azuo, did you succeed?"
Gu Zuo frowned: "Well, it worked!"
