After years of excavation, the mine tunnel has become very wide, and the winding mine tunnel leads deep into the earth.
As Ye Li walked inside, he felt the changes in the air. Waves of strong heat were emanating from deep within the mine, and they also contained very strong fire spiritual energy.
As he went deeper, the temperature in the mine became higher and higher, and the strong heat flow made it a little unbearable for him.
Faced with such a situation, Ye Li had to spread the spiritual energy in his body all over his body surface in order to resist the increasingly intense heat.
After a long time, he finally reached the bottom of the mine. Just as Village Chief Liu said, there was indeed a big hole dug out on the rock wall, and hot air was gushing out of the hole.
Ye Li touched his forehead. The sweat evaporated the moment it came out, and his skin was a little red from the heat.
“What on earth is in that cave that emits such a strong fire aura
This won’t work, the temperature ahead is too high, I can’t get close at all.”
Ye Li frowned as he looked at the hole in the rock wall at the bottom of the mine. However, inside the chiseled rock wall, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen because there was no lighting.
Ye Li turned his head to look at the rune lamp hanging next to him, picked one up and held it in his left hand.
Then he stretched out his right hand, and spiritual light shone on his five fingers.
His five fingers plucked quickly in the air, drawing swift lines. The lines were connected to form characters, and the characters were combined to form runes.
This time he released four talismans at once, one more than the previous spiritual energy bomb.
The four runes gathered in the air and twisted into a rune. The surrounding spiritual energy quickly rushed towards him and condensed into a large bell around his body, enveloping him completely.
Because Ye Li's natal talisman has no attribute talisman roots, he can only use these talismans directly constructed from attributeless spiritual energy, and their power is not very strong.
The talisman he released was also one of the basic defensive talismans, known as the Spirit Bell Talisman.
When releasing the Spirit Bell Talisman, Ye Li once again felt a sense of awkwardness and discomfort, but the degree was lighter than when he released the Spirit Yuan Bullet before, and he could barely bear it.
The condensed bell-shaped spiritual energy isolated some of the strong fire spiritual energy around it, and Ye Li's temperature began to drop.
Holding the rune lamp in his hand and maintaining the operation of the spirit bell rune, Ye Li took a step and walked carefully towards the cave on the rock wall.
As he continued to get closer to the cave entrance, the fire spiritual energy around him became increasingly dense, and the heat flow hit his spirit bell, causing tiny cracks to appear.
Shocked, Ye Li hurriedly increased the release of spiritual energy and barely managed to stabilize the spirit bell.
After arriving at the cave entrance, Ye Li first moved the rune lamp in his hand into the cave. There seemed to be a very vast space inside. The rune lamp could not illuminate very far, and he could not see clearly.
After thinking about it, Ye Li finally decided to enter the cave, but the opening on the stone wall was a little small, so he needed to expand it.
Stretching out his hand, Ye Li quickly drew out a spiritual energy bullet and threw it towards the cave entrance.
The mountain wall, which had been dug into a relatively soft state, suddenly collapsed into a mass of soil under the bombardment of the spiritual energy bomb.
Ye Li suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart and released several spiritual energy bombs in succession, finally blasting a large hole as tall as a person on the mountain wall.
Then he bent down and crawled into the hole in the rock wall.
When he entered the cave behind the rock wall with a lamp in his hand, the heat flow around him became stronger and stronger. Ye Li could clearly sense that the fire spiritual energy was coming from not far in front of him.
After increasing the strength of the spiritual energy infused into the talisman again, Ye Li began to walk forward carefully holding the lantern.
As he went deeper, the surrounding ground, after being illuminated by the light, actually began to take on a hint of flame red.
Seeing this, Ye Li hurriedly squatted down to check the ground. He was stunned when he saw that the objects emitting flame-colored light on the ground were actually pieces of glass-like ore.
"This... what is this, could it be... could it be Glazed Flame Crystal Iron, which is a fire material several levels higher than Star Flame Iron Ore.
Wait a minute, could it be that the Star Flame Iron Ore outside is just a peripheral sub-ore of the Glazed Flame Crystal Iron Ore Vein, and this Glazed Flame Crystal Iron is the real mother ore?"
Ye Li was shocked and guessed that he knew that a small number of high-grade mineral veins were formed because of the extremely abundant spiritual energy where they were located.
These spiritual energies give birth to high-level mineral veins in the core area, while the spiritual energy in the surrounding areas is thin, so it can only generate low-level mineral veins.
The vein in front of him should be in such a situation. Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Forging materials are generally divided into four major levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Each major level has three smaller grades: upper, middle, and lower.
The Star Flame Iron Ore on the periphery of this vein is only a yellow-grade upper-grade material, but it can already make the Ye family rich, and the Glazed Flame Crystal Iron is a lower-grade earth-grade material. Such value can definitely make the entire Ye family rise to become the strongest family in the Great Wilderness City and even the entire Shanhai County. Thinking of this, Ye Li planned to go out and report to the family. Although the family members did not like him very much, he was still a member of the family after all.
Just as he turned around and prepared to walk back, a strong wave of fire spiritual energy came again from not far behind him, and a hot current was pushed towards him.
The spirit bell around Ye Li was almost shattered by the heat flow in an instant. Under the continuous high temperature, his spirit bell would be completely shattered in a moment. Ye Li had no doubt that he would be burned to a pulp by the heat flow.
Not daring to delay, Ye Li knew that the talisman he had just condensed could no longer hold up, so he quickly flicked his fingers, preparing to release another spirit bell talisman.
He had never actually used the Spirit Bell Talisman in the past. This was only his first time using it before entering the cave, and now was only his second time.
At the critical moment, Ye Li was a little panicked, and the talisman he drew was seriously deformed. The awkward feeling in his heart, which was not too strong to begin with, became extremely strong in an instant.
Under the double interference, the strokes drawn by Ye Li could not be connected into a symbol, let alone combined into a rune. The spiritual energy gathered in his hands exploded in chaos, and even the spirit bell outside his body was affected.
The spirit bell, which was already riddled with holes, became even more precarious at this moment, as if it would collapse in a breath.
At the critical moment, Ye Li's brain went blank, and his fingers began to pluck unconsciously almost instinctively. A faint guiding force seemed to come from his brain.
When drawing the rune, his fingers unexpectedly reached a state of fluency that could not be achieved even when he was conscious, and a spirit bell rune was drawn in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the spirit bell outside his body was shattered by the heat flow. As his spiritual energy scattered, it had no ability to resist the heat flow, and the heat flow rushed towards him at lightning speed.
