Chapter 119 Kunlun Fire Veins

The Chongming Divine Bird revived. Although it had not yet recovered to its peak and still needed more pure fire elements to replenish itself, Ao Fu accelerated the process of Nirvana with its assistance, and it was successfully reborn soon!

The majesty of the totem was revealed, and the surrounding sirens, which had already lost their command, all fled in panic!
The demon god with cold moon eyes in the distance hesitated for a long time, and finally did not choose to chase “Bai Jue”. He just took a deep look in the direction of the coastline and dived into the sea again.

The soft and moist wind embraced a few people, the dark clouds dispersed, and the warm sunshine shone on their whole bodies. The surrounding waves rolled in the wind, and scattered spots of light flew everywhere.

“Is this the end?” Zhao Manyan looked at the huge monster not far away in amazement. Although he had seen Aofu’s skeleton with his own eyes, the living Aofu was even more awe-inspiring!
Ba Xia growled at Ao Fu and slowly dived into the water and disappeared. Ao Fu glanced at Bai Jue and also disappeared into the water. Only the Fire Sparrow, the incarnation of the Chongming Divine Bird, and the Falcon, the incarnation of the Haidongqing God, were left on the side of the boat.

“We have spent so much effort to protect it for so long, and it just left without a word?” Mo Fan was stunned, scratched his head, and looked at Bai Jue. He didn’t care, but Bai Jue had obviously put a lot of thought into making Ao Fu Nirvana…

“It’s not a big problem. It will appear naturally when we need it. Aofu has just been resurrected and it will take some time for him to recover his strength.” Bai Jue smiled and threw the wooden fish to Zhao Manyan.

“This is Baxia’s totem vessel. Whether it can be recognized depends on you.”

If a totem with a totem vessel has an excellent totem guardian, its strength will be greatly enhanced, and the wooden fish vessel can be regarded as “returning to its original owner”.

“Oh oh!” Zhao Manyan took the wooden fish and immediately smiled. He had seen Ba Xia’s strength before and he knew how precious this thing was. He would remember this favor!

Seeing this, Mo Fan touched his little loach. He had already learned its origin from Bai Jue, and was also aware of Qinglong’s current situation. He couldn’t help but sigh. If he wanted to wake it up completely, it would be a long and arduous journey!

A few people took a boat back to Wanggui Town. The sky was clearing up, and there was a little noise in the air. The scene of people coming and going was harmonious and beautiful. There were office workers rushing to work, mothers with children, husbands taking their wives out for fun, and students chatting and laughing with friends… No one noticed that any danger had passed by.

……

After Bai Jue told Shao Zheng some things about the mermaids, he took Apas and temporarily left the totem search team. He acted alone, preparing to find a place with abundant fire elements to restore the Chongming bird to its complete form. The fire vein of the Sun Ridge in Kunlun Mountain in the original book is a good place.

You can also take the opportunity to check on the situation of the Kunlun Lord.

The western region is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains, vast land, deep forests and secluded valleys. It is really not easy to find a rare fire vein in such a place, but with the presence of the host, Bai Jue does not have to spend much effort.

After a long period of investigation by the two great families of Mu and Dongfang, they have found a very safe road and established a post station in the Sun Ridge of Kunlun Mountain that specifically serves this fire vein.

The inn is called Wangyang Inn. It used to be a relatively poor village for a long time. With the injection of manpower from two aristocratic families, it gradually took on the size of a small town.

The Mu family and the Dongfang family also have some cooperation with the local government. The government naturally hopes that such remote villages can be developed, so that the roads, railways, and security areas will be expanded accordingly. In addition, the east coast is frequently harassed and attacked by sea monsters. Mainland China and the west have received more and more attention.

Taiyang Ridge has long been purchased by the Mu family. The local government, magic association, and military are not involved in the issue of getting a share of the pie. They mainly focus on the construction of Wangyang Station, because only a mature station has been established here. Only through Anjie Station can the local government expand their Tianyu City. The military and government are therefore willing to assist the Mu family and the Dongfang family.

With instructions and endorsement from their superiors, the Mu family was not surprised by Bai Jue’s arrival and had an unobstructed journey.

The Sun Ridge is made up of more than one hundred mountains of various sizes. Its altitude is much higher than all the surrounding mountains and mountain ranges. In midsummer, under the direct sunlight, the heat is locked in by the mountains, making the temperature of the highest peaks in the center of the Sun Ridge extremely high, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Rumor has it that more than three hundred years ago, a meteor hit the Sun Ridge, forming a giant fire cave that is completely hidden between the mountains. The formation of the fire vein is not a matter of one or two years. It requires too many accidental factors of nature to be connected together, which makes the various element veins precious and rare.

The fire vein has been more than three hundred years old. Perhaps the level of this fire vein was not high for a long time in the past. Until now, it has been full of foundation. Coupled with the special sunshine here, it has created such a fire vein. It should be enough for the Chongming Divine Bird to recover.

As for whether the fire vein will still exist after the fire element is absorbed by the Chongming Divine Bird, Bai Jue is not sure. He will compensate the Mu family according to the circumstances. After all, he is not an unreasonable robber.

In fact, the value of the fire vein is not only because it contains abundant fire elements, which can give birth to spirit seeds and soul seeds, but more importantly, the most inconspicuous little stones in the fire veins are treasures that have been tempered thousands of times. They can be made into guiding stones, can be used as energy output, and can create a large number of fire mages!

What’s more important is that elemental veins like this, no matter what elemental attributes they are, contain a kind of awakening source power that has been absorbed and cleansed from nature. After being shaped by special methods, it can be used to awaken the magic stardust in the human body.

Elements are also called nature, and precisely because the awakening stones issued to schools by the Magic Association are obtained from these elemental veins, the elements that most magicians awaken for the first time are elements.

Bai Jue also plans to collect some of this special awakening source power and analyze it to see if it can be combined with the “contract” to make plans for the future.

The most valuable thing about Fire Veins is actually the raw materials for Awakening Stones! The Mu family sent a high-level mage to guide Bai Jue and Apas. The mountain beast mounts carried them across the mountains and ridges. When they were halfway there, the Mu family mage suddenly stopped.

“Mr. Bai, we may need to wait here for a while.”

“What’s wrong?” Bai Jue looked at Apasdu getting the Chongming Bird and turned around to ask.

“See that Burning Stone Peak? It’s the highest peak in Sun Ridge. The overlord of Sun Ridge lives there. It has just gone out to find food. We don’t know if it will come back suddenly. We need to wait until it returns to its nest before we set off.” The Mu family mage said, pointing to the mountain in the distance.

“After a long period of observation, we found that Burning Stone Peak is always surrounded by a layer of orange volcanic ash clouds, which almost never dissipate. As long as the Overlord is at home, this volcanic ash cloud can be our perfect cover. No matter what big noise we make in the fire vein, the Overlord will not be able to see it.”

The peak is buried in a large group of thick rolling clouds. The clouds are orange and sometimes glow with some flame light. It seems that there is a high-altitude cyclone there, which constantly ejects volcanic ash and flame particles from the fire veins. , the breath of fire was breathed in, and over time, it turned into such a huge and spectacular volcanic cloud!
These clouds are not ethereal, but give people a sense of weight. When combined with the mountains here, it feels like the vast world has been compressed into a horizontal rift valley, which is somewhat closed and depressing!
“Overlord… Just show us the way. We have the means to deal with it.” Bai Jue gently patted the falcon resting on his shoulder. The Saker Falcon instantly spread its wings and flew high, revealing its true form, leaving the Mu family mage stunned…

“I understand!” The Mu family wizard came back to his senses, looked at Bai Jue with a bit of awe, responded quickly, and continued to move forward by riding the mountain beast.

The mountain beasts passed through several valleys, and the terrain here began to rise suddenly. The mountains tilted towards the sky and towards the volcanic clouds. It felt like walking up the mountain could lead directly to the world above the clouds.

The terrain is getting higher and higher, but when we cross a vertical ridge, our eyes suddenly open up!

“This mountain used to be the highest peak, but after being hit by a meteor, it became what it is now.” As a guide, this magician of the Mu family was undoubtedly qualified. He explained the surrounding environment to Bai Jue along the way without any mistakes.

“We call the terrain here Roulette Peak Ding. The maximum diameter is seven kilometers and the minimum diameter is five kilometers. The fire vein is located in the center of the entire Roulette Peak Ding. It is a volcanic lake formed by the strongest meteor impact. The diameter of the entire volcanic lake is four kilometers. If we walk a few steps forward, we should be able to see the big cave!” said the Mu family magician.

The beast continued to move forward. As expected, on the relatively flat terrain ahead, it could see a sudden drop in the fault. The edge of the cave had already fallen into view. What was shocking was that the hole was so big that it was impossible to see the whole picture from here. The only way was to move closer…

As you continue walking forward, the full picture of the cave gradually emerges. The depth and confinement of the cave bring a sense of fear, making it difficult for ordinary people to muster the courage to move forward!

A real fire vein, its aura alone is enough to make ordinary people hesitate, not to mention the temperature around it continues to rise as you go deeper.

Keep walking forward, suddenly, the dazzling red color touches your heart!
It was a color so red that the whole body seemed to be burning. The further one walked forward, the more this redness hit the tiny body!

Moving forward, the overbearing red completely engulfed all vision. Although it was not the first time he had seen it, the Mu family mage could not help but stand still, overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring scene.

“Nice scenery.” Bai Jue exclaimed and recorded the scene with a special instrument. The Chongming Divine Bird had been very excited since it entered this area, and now it had an urge to fly in immediately!

Roulette Peak, this place near the volcanic lake, is like a hell of fire! The magma is rolling, and from time to time you can see the flames rising to more than 20 meters high interweaving in the air. Standing at the edge and looking down, this volcanic lake is simply a shocking sea of ​​red magma, and the restless atmosphere makes people feel terrified.

The magma was divided into several layers, like several streams of liquid fire with different effects. After the magma of different colors gathered at a certain location, the horribly hot magma was blown up like waves and splashed towards the periphery of the volcanic lake!

“The magma here is divided into red magma, brown magma, black magma, and scorching white magma. The red magma has the lowest temperature, but it is equivalent to the fire magic cast by a high-level fire magician. The Shuihua Sky Curtain without any special effects can only last for five seconds at such a high temperature.”

“The higher temperature is brown magma. Brown magma is mixed with red magma. They are like undercurrents under the ocean, flowing in waves. The temperature of this brown magma is twice that of the red magma. The Water Bloom Sky Curtain Barrier can only support one second at most.”

“Then there is the black magma. This black magma is extremely terrifying. The current magma explosion was caused by the black magma. Most of the black magma is spherical and looks like a lead ball floating in the entire magma pool. They are somewhat erratic, but if two black magma balls are fifty meters apart, they will blast the magma in the nearby magma pool into the air, forming a magma wave similar to a ‘sea wave’.”

“This is the limit of what I can lead the way. Our family doesn’t know much about the rest of the situation.” The Mu family wizard told Bai Jue all the information he knew. After communicating with the family, he said goodbye to them and left.

“Wow~ It’s so hot here!” Without outsiders, Apas was free from restraints and lay directly on Bai Jue. Compared with the temperature outside, Bai Jue felt cool!
“Go, Chongming Divine Bird!” Bai Jue ignored Apas’s actions and nodded to the eager Chongming Divine Bird. After receiving the consent, it dived into the magma with a whoosh…

At this time, a strong wind blew in the distance, blowing the magma in the air towards Bai Jue’s location, and then it was blocked by the space barrier. The splashing magma flowers were still quite beautiful!
The thick volcanic clouds in the sky began to roll at this time, as if the thick orange and brown clouds were being violently pulled towards the western sky. This was the West Kunlun wind, which would blow away all the clouds and dust nearby, and the sky would be clear within a few days.

The highest scorching stone peak that was originally completely covered by the thick volcanic clouds appeared in the field of vision at some point. The peak was like a sword, piercing the sky upside down, with an awe-inspiring aura… At the top of the peak, a pair of huge red wings were slowly spreading out!
The Fire Wing Overlord discovered the foreign intruder, the Gypsophila god hovering in the air. It cried angrily a few times, then turned around and flew away…

The Fire Wing Overlord is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning of “a man of insight is a wise man”. Judging from the momentum of the Saker Falcon God, it is impossible for it to be an opponent, there is no need to fight, just surrender and run away to avoid suffering!
