The night is dark.
On the top of a bare and barren mountain peak, Nie Tian and Dong Li carefully huddled behind a boulder and looked into the distance.
There are several conspicuous stone caves in the waist and abdomen of the mountain. Nie Tian and Dong Li had already explored them before going up the mountain.
Those stone caves have stone paths that extend into the mountain. It is clear that there are powerful weapon refiners who used to refine weapons here.
The flame energy in the mountain peak, including the essence of earth fire, had long been refined and turned into a dead mountain.
Under the cold moonlight, Nie Tian stood on the top of the mountain, observing secretly with the help of his nine heavenly eyes.
The nine heavenly eyes floated, reaching the limit of what he could perceive. The heavenly eyes were like real eyes, suspended high in the sky, and could see extremely distant scenes.
He noticed that in the far distance, the volcanoes emitting thick smoke and flickering fire were clearly occupied by people.
At night, the magma flames erupted from those volcanoes turned into streams of flames flowing in the valley, like long flame dragons twisting their huge bodies.
Dong Li was also watching, but due to her realm, she couldn't see too far.
Nie Tian pointed to the distance and softly explained to her, "Over there, there are volcanoes, a place where all life should be extinct. But in that area, there are many powerful Qi refiners active at the moment. Because the distance is too far, I can only You see signs of people, but you don’t know who those people are.”
"Several Xuanjing experts from the Qi Sect, as well as several Hongdian vehicles, are heading that way."
"According to what the girl named Huang Yuan said before, someone is collecting the essence of earth fire in the wilderness, and the strong men of the Weapon Sect are dispatched to find out what happened."
"If I'm not wrong, the Qi Practitioners that appear in that area are collecting the essence of earth fire."
Dong Li looked at it for a long time, but still found nothing, so she simply gave up.
She stopped paying attention and shrank completely behind the boulder. She leaned on the boulder and said with a bitter smile: "Nie Tian, Nie Tian, you are simply a disaster star."
"How do you say that?" Nie Tian said displeased.
"Have you noticed that wherever you appear, great changes will occur?" Dong Li's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, "When you were in Litian Territory, the Heavenly Gate appeared in Litian Territory, and the demon returned. Later you When we get to the Split Sky Domain, another evil spirit is coming over there.”
"You went with us to the Dark Underworld. There were traces of Evil Underworld in the Dark Underworld, and an ancient galactic ship emerged."
"Now, you have arrived in the Great Desolate Territory again. Zhao Shanling has returned, and the realm of death has appeared. There are also outsiders taking advantage of the Qi Sect's evaluation meeting to collect the essence of earth fire."
"Wherever you go, great changes happen and all life is devastated. Do you think you are a disaster star?"
After telling her this, Nie Tian thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case, and he really couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Your previous judgment was correct." Dong Li chuckled, "If we don't return to Huangcheng, we can at least avoid the realm of death and not get involved in the old grudges between Qi Zong and Zhao Shanling. Where we are now, in Huangcheng , Qi Sect, and those who collect the essence of earth fire."
"We can't go any further. If we go further, we will encounter those who collect the essence of earth fire."
"We cannot afford to offend anyone who dares to ignore the rules of the Qi Sect, collect the essence of earth fire in the wilderness, and make the Qi Sect feel like it is facing a formidable enemy by dispatching powerful men from the Xuan Realm."
"We can't go back yet. If we go back, we may encounter the realm of death again."
"Being with you is really miserable. I can't do anything about it, nor can I go forward. I don't have an idea. I don't know what to do."
After she finished speaking, Nie Tian also smiled bitterly, secretly calling out for bad luck.
"I'm hungry, let's eat something first." After a while, he had nothing to say, so he took out the spirit beast meat he bought from the Dong family, roasted it with flame spirit stones, and then shared it with Dong Li.
After devouring a large amount of spiritual beast meat, he sat quietly and took out the star stone to practice.
After a while, the flesh and blood essence produced by the flesh of those spiritual beasts began to grow one after another.
Due to the return of the Flame Dragon Armor, part of the flesh and blood essence was quietly absorbed by it, but most of the flesh and blood essence was still swallowed up by the cyan blood and energy entrenched in his heart.
Soon, all the flesh and blood essence was absorbed by the cyan blood energy and the Flame Dragon Armor.
At this time, he noticed the abnormality of the cyan blood energy again.
The cyan blood energy entrenched in the heart, and the cyan light spots in the several blood crystal chains inside, are constantly flashing, appearing quite active.
This kind of abnormality has happened many times recently, and it gradually attracted his attention.
He condensed a thought containing the soul power of the Broken Star, escaped into his heart, and watched quietly.
Within those bloodline crystal chains, the flashing cyan light spots seemed to be... sensing something, or being touched by something, which was why it was so abnormal.
"Strange… "
He was secretly surprised that as he tried that thought, he got closer and closer to the light spot in the blood crystal chain.
"Peng!"
The moment his thoughts came into contact with the light spots in the bloodline crystal chain, he suddenly felt a mysterious sensation.
He felt that somewhere, there seemed to be something attracting the cyan blood that contained the secret of life!
He immediately held his breath and concentrated all his attention, and once again condensed the broken star soul power, turned it into wisps of thoughts, and repeatedly touched the flickering light spots in the bloodline crystal chain.
The mysterious feeling became more and more obvious and clear, and he looked in one direction.
The direction he was looking in was not the deserted city and the Qi Sect, nor was it the volcanoes ahead where outsiders collected the essence of earth fire.
But to his left, there were extinct volcanic areas like those under him.
"What could be that touched the life blood in my body?" He retracted his thoughts and frowned in deep thought.
"The Great Desolate Realm is really a strange place." Dong Li murmured, "There is a world of death refined by Zhao Shanling, which annihilates all things and turns all living things into mummies. There is also a world that no one can confirm. According to rumors, there is a strange place where the essence of vegetation is as rich as water and the fruit of life can be born."
"The world of death and that strange land are clearly two extremes, and they are both in the wilderness."
Listening to Dong Li's muttering, Nie Tian's eyes suddenly lit up as he was thinking hard.
"A strange place where the essence of vegetation is as rich as water, where the Fruit of Life can be born?" His shoulders trembled, and he thought again: "The Fruit of Life, the Blood of Life, is there any connection between the two? What if that legend really exists? , could the thing that touches the life bloodline in the body be the fruit of life in that strange place?!"
As soon as this idea came to mind, Nie Tian was suddenly shocked and felt that the possibility was extremely high.
Taking a deep breath, he looked again in the direction that touched his life blood, and found that it was extremely far away from him because they were all dead volcanoes that no one cared about.
Whether it is a visitor from the Qi Sect or an outsider collecting the essence of earth fire, it is unlikely that they will go there.
If it weren't for the abnormal bloodline in his body, he who originally planned to collect the essence of earth fire for the Flame Dragon Armor would never have thought of going there to investigate.
With this thought, he made an instant decision, pointed to that location, and said: "Let's go over there!"
Following the direction of his finger, Dong Li only glanced at it, smiled softly, nodded, and said, "Your decision is very wise."
"Why wise?"
"Because the direction you are pointing to is rumored to be the territory of the Skeleton Clan from the earliest times. The volcanoes there are all dead and have been like this for thousands of years."
"In addition, the territory of the Skeleton Clan has been searched countless times by the Qi Refiners from the Land of Fallen Stars."
"The secrets of the Skeleton Clan over there have been clearly discovered. Even a single stone left by the Skeleton Clan has been excavated and taken away."
"No one has discovered anything strange there in the past few hundred years."
"The same is true. No one will try their luck there anymore."
"Because there are extinct volcanoes there, outsiders collecting the essence of earth fire will not set foot there. There are no people moving there, and it is far away from the Qi Sect. Zhao Shanling's death realm will never float past."
"Looking at it this way, it should be the safest place in the wilderness."
Dong Li narrated that she thought Nie Tian chose that way just to avoid the troubles in the wilderness and to save his life.
Nie Tian did not explain, but grinned, nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I thought."
"Then let's go. I hope the chaos in the Wilderness Territory can end as soon as possible. Before that, it's really safe to hide there." Dong Li also agreed with his decision.
So, the two of them followed the direction pointed by Nie Tian and headed there with hidden traces.
A few days later, Nie Tian and Dong Li appeared at the place where the Skeleton Tribe once gathered.
Nie Tian used his heavenly eyes to sense and saw no signs of life. All he saw was desolation and silence.
The life blood in his body became more active when he arrived here.
