The scenery around Chiquan Mountain is very unique and polarized.
On the outskirts of the mountains, plants grow very lush and green and are full of vitality.
But after walking for a distance, everything suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only black rocks and soil, as well as a small hole that was constantly smoking.
As Ye Li continued to go deeper into Chiquan Mountain, he had seen quite a few talisman masters appearing nearby. Some of them were traveling alone, while others were traveling in groups. They all looked wary of each other.
However, judging from Ye Li's current level of cultivation, he could basically tell the realm of the people he met along the way. Most of them were at the Lingdan stage and Jiangshen stage, and a small number were at the Yutai stage and Yuantai stage.
As for the talisman masters above the Void God Stage, whose levels Ye Li could not tell, there were very few of them. He only saw two along the way.
Ye Li had no intention of greeting anyone, but walked straight to the center of Chiquan Mountain. There was a mark on the map saying that the central area of Chiquan Mountain was where the magma was the hottest, and flames could be seen almost all year round.
The temperature of the ground around them was constantly rising, and the talisman masters passing by had already begun to sweat all over. However, Ye Li did not feel too uncomfortable because his body was comparable to that of a monster and he had a high degree of resistance to the harsh external environment.
Ye Li moved quickly. With a clear destination in mind, he almost always chose the fastest route to go deep into the Chiquan Mountain area. After all, with his ability, it was very easy for him to cross mountains and even walk through some cliffs. He didn't have to choose a relatively flat road to go deep into the Chiquan Mountain area like other people.
Ye Li traveled very fast. By the time the sun rose the next morning, he had already arrived at the core area of the Chiquan Mountain area.
This was indeed an area with flickering flames and smoke everywhere, with signs of underground fire flowing everywhere. Even though it didn't seem extremely violent, it still made it hard for people to feel at ease.
The scorching flames continued to burn the earth and the air, making the environment here hazy, like boiling water.
When they arrived at this area, there were more and more monsters around. Ye Li encountered monsters from time to time along the way and experienced several battles.
The monsters here are mostly in the Lingdan stage and the Jiangshen stage, and they can't even withstand a single move from Ye Li.
Ye Li was too lazy to even use his spiritual energy, and almost knocked them to the ground with just a few slaps.
These monsters were of almost no value to Ye Li. The demon cores and other materials on them were cheap things to Ye Li, so Ye Li did not kill them. He just drove away these blind monsters.
After arriving here, the strength of the talisman masters around Ye Li gradually increased, and they were no longer as weak as they had met before.
The talisman masters he met now were mostly above the gestational stage, and they all worked in teams, so it seemed their fighting power was quite strong.
But it is normal. After all, the monsters here are also beginning to increase in strength. There are already monsters in the Yuantai period, and most of them are earth, fire or fire monsters.
These monsters can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing in the magma area, so Chiquan Mountain is naturally home to a large number of powerful monsters. With the strength of an ordinary talisman master, they will not easily enter here, after all, it is full of dangers.
As Ye Li was walking, a giant snake with a colorful body, glowing red, and a blood-red crown on its head appeared in front of Ye Li.
The giant snake's strength is above the Yuantai stage and is close to the Xushen stage. It is the most powerful monster Ye Li has encountered along the way.
However, compared to Ye Li’s own strength, even if this giant snake had reached the Virtual God stage, it would not be his opponent at all.
Facing the giant snake rushing towards him, Ye Li's body was as fast as lightning. He dodged the giant snake's head-on attack with a slight flash.
When the giant snake saw that its attack missed, flames burst out all over its body and burned itself red, like a giant lava snake.
However, no matter how powerful the giant snake's posture was, it was no match for Ye Li. After being slapped on the head by Ye Li, the giant lava snake trembled all over and turned over, twisting continuously.
Ye Li was holding back his strength and didn't try to kill the snake. Otherwise, given the difference in realm between the two, Ye Li would have been able to smash the giant snake's head into pieces with one move, leaving it no chance to writhe around.
The giant snake seemed to know how powerful Ye Li was. It rolled over twice and then turned over from the ground while enduring the pain.
The giant snake turned over and didn't dare to make any unfriendly moves anymore. It carefully lowered its head, its eyes full of submission.
It looked at Ye Li for a while, and after making sure that Ye Li had no intention of killing it, it quickly lifted its head from the ground, left the cave behind it, and swam away into the distance.
The giant snake had just been hiding in the cave behind it. When it saw Ye Li passing by, it suddenly attacked him, as if it was guarding the cave behind it.
Ye Li was stunned and felt a little confused.
Now that he has reached the stage of concentration, his perception of the power of heaven and earth in the outside world has increased a lot. Therefore, he vaguely feels that the fire energy emanating from the cave seems to be stronger than other places.
In addition, he also felt a faint breath of life in the cave. This feeling made Ye Li slightly stunned. He said, "Senior Tunri, there seems to be an unusual power coming from this cave. Not only is the fire strong, but there is also a breath of life."
Ye Li told Tunri about his feelings. After being stunned for a moment, Tunri immediately reacted and said, "Yes, that's right, I also felt this unusual power.
It's really strange. The fire in this cave is stronger than other places. It's entirely possible that it leads directly to the depths of the magma, so there is such a strong fire. But what does that vitality mean?"
Tunri also didn't understand why the hidden vitality in the flames came from far away. After observing the cave for a while, he couldn't explain it.
Ye Li looked at Tunri and said, "Senior Tunri, how about we go in and take a look? There must be strange things in strange places. I wonder what is hidden in this cave."
Tunri nodded and said, "It seems that the snake just now was guarding the cave entrance for the sake of something inside. Maybe the thing inside is some incredible spiritual creature."
Ye Li said: "Okay, let's go in and take a look first. We don't know where Qing Luan is right now, so blindly searching is not a solution.
It is a strange thing that we suddenly found traces of Qingluan here. I don’t know if it is related to the strange things here.”
