Chapter 844 Fire Spirit
Li Muran and the shopkeeper slowly flew to the place where the middle-aged monk said. Not long after, the two of them indeed saw a flame-filled underground crack.
Flashes of flames rushed out of the cracks and flew to dozens of feet high in the air, sometimes accompanied by red magma. The hot waves of air rippled around, and no grass grew within a radius of dozens of miles.
"That person is probably ambushing, so I have to be careful." Li Muran reminded him, but slowly flew towards the flames.
Li Muran tried his best to activate his spiritual thoughts, but could not detect the aura of the middle-aged man who led them here.
"Strange! Generally speaking, if he is ill-intentioned, he will probably hide here and ambush. Why can't he notice his breath at all? Could it be that he no longer here, or he has an extremely clever way of hiding his breath without missing the slightest?" The shopkeeper was also surprised.
"Are you just suspicious?" Li Muran said in confusion: "No matter what, I'll be more careful."
After saying that, Li Muran waved his sleeves and sacrificed two seven-flame moths.
The fire attribute energy here is rich, which is exactly the favorite environment of the Seven Flame Moths. Sure enough, two Seven Flame Moths left and flew towards the flames and danced in the fire. The flames seemed to be summoned by them, and they danced with them, like huge fire butterflies, and the scene was quite gorgeous and fantastic.
"You go and explore, what is the mystery in the crack underground!" Li Muran ordered the two seven-flame moths.
Two seven-flame moths immediately rushed into the fissures of the flames, and the flames around them also turned into huge fire butterflies, following them.
"Miaoji!" said the shopkeeper: "Friend Li has these two top-level fire-attribute insects, so we don't need to go deep into it in person. However, I am still a little confused. The middle-aged man doesn't look like a cultivator with fire-attribute martial arts. If he really wants to be bad for me, why do you want to lead us here?"
Li Muran shook his head: "I don't understand it below! Let's see if there is another mystery underground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large flame suddenly rushed out from the ground, turning into a huge pillar of fire and soaring into the sky, hundreds of feet high.
This momentum is obviously much stronger than before. What surprised Li Muran even more was that the seven flame moth was forced back by the flame and flew out of the cracks underground.
"What's going on?" The shopkeeper's face changed.
"It's strange!" Li Muran frowned and pointed to the pillar of fire that soared into the sky.
The fire pillar really transformed into a fire giant a hundred feet in size!
The fire giant was breathing and breathing, and the aura he emitted was a blazing wave of fire. Even its eyes were two red fireballs.
"It's the fire spirit!" Li Muran exclaimed: "It turns out that there is a high-level fire spirit here! Judging from the aura of this fire spirit, it should be the peak cultivation level of the late stage of the Yuanshen, and it is even better than the evil wood spirit before!"
If Li Muran encounters this fire spirit in other places, he may not be so nervous. However, the environment here is extremely beneficial to the fire spirit, which is enough to greatly improve the supernatural powers of the fire spirit, and may even reach the level of a cultivator in the early stage of the spirit body!
Li Muran was worried that the Seven Flame Moths would be defeated and was about to recall them, but found that the two Seven Flame Moths seemed even more excited when they saw the Fire Spirit.
Li Muran's heart moved. He had cultivated these two seven-flame moths for many years, and could see the excitement of these two seven-flame moths at this time at a glance, just as if he had seen the purest fire-attribute vitality.
"If this fire spirit can be killed, it may be the great tonic of the Seven Flame Moth!" Li Muran was secretly happy and did not recall the Seven Flame Moth.
The Seven Flame Moths were not afraid of this huge fire spirit. They also madly devoured the surrounding fire-attribute vitality, and their bodies gradually turned into several feet in size.
Although this head is insignificant compared to the Fire Spirit, it is already a big moth, and even the seven-color halo on their wings can be seen clearly.
The fire spirit raised his palm and slapped the Seven Flame Moth. Immediately, two huge fireballs roared at the Seven Flame Moth.
The seven-flame moth flapped its wings and the spiritual orifice dodged away. The two fireballs immediately hit the nearby ground.
"Boom!" With two loud bangs, the fireball exploded into a huge deep pit on the ground, and an astonishing wave of air rushed around. Within dozens of miles, some were turned into ashes by the flames.
"What a powerful fire attribute power!" Li Muran was shocked. The two fire balls thrown by the fire spirit were actually more powerful than the high-level fire attribute talisman he carefully refined, but it was slightly less than the immortal fire talisman!
The fire spirit waved his hands continuously, and fireballs hit the Seven Flame Moths. However, the Seven Flame Moths could dodge them lightly.
"Huh!" Li Muran exclaimed curiously. Although this fire spirit has great magical powers, it seems to have low spiritual intelligence. Maybe it has just started spiritual intelligence.
However, this fire spirit was not too stupid. When it saw the heavy fireballs that could not attack the Seven Flame Moth, it changed its strategy. It kept shaking its body, and small fireballs flew out of its body, hitting towards the Seven Flame Moth as densely as rain.
The fireballs are very dense, so the seven-flame moths have no way to dodge.
The seven flame moths were not panicked either. They flapped their wings to form spiritual vortexes, and finally merged into a vortex-shaped flame shield of several feet in size to protect them in front of them.
The fireballs were sucked into the vortex shield one after another, and then there was no more.
The fire spirit has been attacking for a long time before the vortex shield finally saturated, exploded with a bang, and dissipated into countless flames.
At this time, the seven-flame moths spit out a seven-colored sea of fire. The fireballs rushed into the seven-colored sea of fire, as if ice and snow melted into the boiling water, and they all melted into the seven-colored sea of fire, but there was no trace.
Not only that, there are also seven-colored pillars of fire flying out of the sea of fire and attacking the fire spirit.
The fire spirit seemed to be quite afraid of these seven-colored fire pillars and did not dare to let them get close to each other. It just kept hitting out balls of fireballs to repel these seven-colored light pillars.
During the confrontation between the two sides, there were loud roars that could be heard far away.
The astonishing waves of air made Li Muran and the shopkeeper have to sacrifice a thick layer of body protection light to resist and resolve it.
"Fellow Daoist Li's strange insect is so powerful that he fights this late-stage fire spirit alone, but he is not at a disadvantage!" The shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise. He could also see that the magical powers such as the Fire Sea Fireball sacrificed by these two Seven Flame Moths were obviously not as powerful as the Fire Spirit, but the flame quality displayed by the Seven Flame Moths seemed to be more pure, which actually made the Fire Spirit very afraid.
The most obvious example is that the seven-colored sea of fire sacrificed by the Seven Flame Moth can swallow and merge the fire balls sacrificed by the Fire Spirit. However, the Fire Spirit can only block the seven-colored flame sacrificed by the Seven Flame Moth and cannot digest and absorb it.
Suddenly, the fire spirit jumped, and its body changed drastically, turning into a huge fire net, covering two seven-flame moths in one go!
"Ah!" Li Muran exclaimed. This change happened too suddenly. He was still a distance from the Seven Flame Moth and had no time to rescue him.
Li Muran immediately took out a thick stack of talismans and was about to help the Seven Flame Moth break through, but he saw the two Seven Flame Moths actually swallowing the surrounding flame aura under the cover of the fire spirit.
In other words, the fire spirit swallowed the seven flame moth into its body, but the seven flame moth was devouring the pure fire attribute energy in the fire spirit's body!
Both sides swallowed each other. Although it seemed very calm and no longer had a huge roar, the situation was even more tense and subtle. The fire spirit wanted to use the thicker fire attribute energy contained in it to force the Seven Flame Moth to swallow into the body and burn it directly, but the Seven Flame Moth had to absorb, digest, and swallow the Fire Spirit's body bit by bit with its higher flame quality. If you continue to fight like this, one side would be buried in the other's mouth.
"I'll help you with some help!" Li Muran immediately sacrificed the talisman wood sword, and with a light wave, immediately seven or eight shocking sword lights slashed out of the sky!
"Crack!" With a few light sounds, the sword light tore the body of the Fire Spirit apart. Although the body of the Fire Spirit quickly merged after the sword light, with the help of this breathing opportunity, the two seven-flame moths swallowed and digested part of the fire spirit's vitality.
As long as the Seven Flame Moth swallows one more point, it will be stronger, but the Fire Spirit will weaken one more point. As one goes up and down, the balance of victory will gradually tilt towards the Seven Flame Moth.
At this moment, two monks suddenly emerged from the underground not far away.
There was a layer of gray light on their bodies. After the gray light broke, Li Muran's divine thoughts detected their breath. He immediately discovered that one of them was the middle-aged monk who had guided them before.
"Isolation light shield! So that's it!" Li Muran snorted coldly. It turned out that the middle-aged monks were indeed ambushing here, but they completely isolated their breath with the isolation light shield, so Li Muran and others could not use their divine thoughts to detect them. Similarly, they could not detect what happened outside the light shield.
So, the two of them flew out of the ground and saw Li Muran and others, they were shocked: "What's going on? They haven't died yet after so long?! The Fire Spirit hasn't returned yet!"
The fire spirit was being angered by Li Muran's attack. When it saw two more people appearing beside it, it immediately opened its mouth and squirted, and a raging flame rolled towards the two of them.
"Ah!" The two monks were shocked and hurriedly used their body protection spirit lights or self-defense magic weapons.
Unfortunately, the fire spirit's flame ruthlessly swallowed everything, and the middle-aged monk's heart sank.
Suddenly, his body was swept by the rays of light and disappeared out of thin air. The next moment he was far away from the fire spirit and appeared near Li Muran! And his companions were immediately swallowed by the flames and turned into a wisp of blue smoke in the screams.
Li Muran's body shines with gorgeous wings, and the rays of light just now were exactly what he used to display.
The middle-aged monk escaped from death, was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly bowed to Li Muran: "Thank you for helping me!"
