One day later, Cui Chen was in the depths of the black desert, surrounded by countless iron fire ants. The thick black ants covered the land for dozens of miles in an airtight manner.

These iron fire ants either pounced directly on Cui Chen, or they gathered and transformed into various magic weapons to bombard Cui Chen.

However, Cui Chen didn't even look at these attacks, but stared expressionlessly at a black giant who was also among the insects.

This giant was twenty to thirty feet tall, extremely ugly, with angry eyes and a big bald head!

What was different from Cui Chen's situation was that not a single fire ant attacked him.

If you look carefully, you will find the reason. This giant is actually made up of countless black flying ants! Hidden in the single eye of this giant's head is the Iron Fire Ant Queen, who is Cui Chen's goal here.

Cui Chen also killed many iron fire ant colonies before finding this queen.

The next moment, Cui Chen's figure turned into a stream of light and went straight towards the queen ant in the giant's single eye.

Although the individual strength of the queen ant is average, her intelligence is frighteningly high. She not only commands the ant colony like an army, advancing and retreating in a well-founded manner, but she can also gather into giants to defend herself.

The strength of this giant is not inferior to that of the monks in the false infant stage. Coupled with the protection of the insect cloud, even the monks in the Nascent Soul stage are quite difficult to deal with.

Seeing Cui Chen's attack, he immediately gathered ants to form a magic shield in front of him.

Cui Chen punched out, blasting the shield in front of him, and then several more shields formed.

At the same time, the giant was also retreating rapidly, which caused Cui Chen to not get much closer to it.

Cui Chen didn't want to delay it any longer, so he immediately held the five fingers of his right hand emptyly, the Xingtian ax appeared in his hand, and struck it against the shield.

The sharp light of the ax flashed and cracked open the shields in front of him. Cui Chen took the opportunity to pass through the cracks and came to the giant in a flash.

Another punch.

The queen ant couldn't escape, so she panicked and controlled the giant to attack Cui Chen with her fists.

"boom!"

The two were similar in size to a giant and an ant, but after the fists touched, Cui Chen was unharmed, while the black giant exploded completely. The ant queen was also shaken to pieces by the force of the fist.

A crystal ball-shaped object the size of an egg fell out of its belly, shining with a mysterious black light.

Cui Chen took it in his hand, with a smile on his face.

This thing is called "Refined Crystal". It is a rare material that the iron fire ant queen will regurgitate in her abdomen after eating ore every day.

This is the best auxiliary material to strengthen the magic weapon.

As long as some crystals are mixed into any magic weapon, not only the power will be greatly increased, but the solidity of the magic weapon will immediately rise to an unimaginable level, making it difficult to be easily cut or destroyed by anything.

Now as long as he is given some time to refine the crystals into the Xingtian Ax, the power of the Xingtian Ax will surely be even higher.

After collecting the crystals, Cui Chen set out again.

As for the iron fire ant colony, it dispersed the moment the queen died.

One day later, Cui Chen walked out of the lava road and came to an extremely simple stone hall.

The area is fifty to sixty feet wide and about seven to eight feet high. In addition to a teleportation array in the center, there are huge bluestone gates several feet high on each side.

In the stone hall, there are also a large number of stone tables and benches of various kinds, no one of which is the same, there are dozens of them.

On these stone benches, fourteen monks with different expressions are sitting. Except for Cui Chen and other nine Nascent Soul stage monks, there are only five Jindan stage monks. These five people are all in the late Jindan stage, and none of them are

Mediocre hands.

As for the other Golden Core monks who entered the Ice and Fire Path together, they most likely died among them, even Yuan Yao, who was gifted the orb by Cui Chen, is not here either.

This makes Cui Chen a little excited!

You must know that Yuan Yao is related to the Soul-nurturing Wood and the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk. If he had known about it, he would have given him a ride!

After more than half a day, the two white-clothed elders from the Star Palace finally appeared in the teleportation array, and they immediately received a pair of unfriendly looks.

The same was true for Cui Chen. Although he obtained the crystal because of this, Nangong Yingying and Hong Fen had a very embarrassing time passing the level. In order to show off in front of his wife, he had to share the same hatred with everyone no matter what.

"Ahem! I don't know which reckless Taoist friend actually triggered some powerful restrictions when crossing the Ice and Fire Road, causing great changes in the canyon. The two of us searched for it, but unfortunately we didn't find a way to lift it. This time

I'm afraid that we have lost a lot of comrades in the world of immortality, right? The two of us have failed in our responsibilities this time. After this visit to the Xutian Palace, we will definitely go back to the two holy masters to apologize and face the wall for more than a hundred years to atone for our responsibilities.

"The kind-faced elder in white ignored the cold looks of everyone, looked around, and then sighed, as if he was really heartbroken!

After hearing this, everyone immediately cursed this man for being shameless.

With a few light words, I wanted to push the matter away completely, as if it was really not their fault.

However, what happened next was just as the two expected. Although everyone in the palace looked at the two with cold eyes, no one took the initiative to question them.

Man Beard, Wan Tianming and the others just glared at them fiercely for a few times and then withdrew their gaze.

The two elders in white looked at each other, smiled at each other, found a corner and sat down, closed their eyes and rested.

At this time, it was only half a day before the Ice and Fire Road was closed.

Just when everyone thought no one would come out, the light of the teleportation array lit up again, and then a slim figure was revealed, it was Yuan Yao.

However, this woman's condition was not good, her face was pale, and she looked like she was running out of mana.

She staggered to Cui Chen. After thanking him with a courtesy, she chose a seat and took pills to regulate her breathing.

Time gradually passed, until the Ice and Fire Road was completely closed, and no monk came out again!

But at the same time that the teleportation array disappeared, the stone doors on the four walls automatically rose up with a roar, revealing deep bluestone passages, leading to nowhere?

"Three of these four passages lead to an attic respectively. The things in each attic are different. They are "ancient treasures", "elixirs", "gong techniques" and other things left by ancient monks."

"But everything is sealed with restrictions. Everyone has only one chance to take something. Once they get it, they will be immediately transported to the next level of "Wonderful Illusion". As for the last passage, it is directly through

The road to the next level. Anyone who walks in can only admit that they are unlucky and have come here in vain. The restrictions here are a bit strange, and the places that the passages lead to are not fixed. As long as people enter one, they cannot

I exited the same way. If you are a fellow Taoist who doesn’t want to enter the wonderful fantasy world, as long as you don’t think about going to these attics to get treasures. After staying in this stone hall for a while, you can automatically pass out of the Xutian Palace. I hope all fellow Taoists

Just take care of yourself!" When the kind-faced elder in white saw the passage appeared, he did not stand up, but just sat cross-legged and explained slowly.

But this time the others listened and just looked at him coldly, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.

When the Star Palace elder saw this, he looked as usual and didn't care at all. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.

Since there are monks here, obviously no one is willing to take this risk in vain and return empty-handed.

Therefore, this person didn't speak for long, and someone immediately strode towards one of the bluestone passages without saying a word.

Not long after, the figure disappeared into the passage.

Seeing this, Cui Chen chose a passage at random and walked in.
Chapter completed!
