Chapter 0232 Cultivator's Prison
The sea of flames has lost the surging just now.
At this time, Xia Yu discovered that the golden true flames around the balls were actually much stronger. If the true flames in the past were small flames, they could now be called a cluster of stable flames!
It seems that Dandan really absorbed the essence of this sea of flames and transformed it into its own true flame! Such ability made Xia Yu really envious. This is also the power of monsters. Their completely different body structures from cultivators are destined to their powerful talents in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Xiaolong's performance was already very amazing. Now Dandan has also shown a powerful ability that is not inferior to her at all, which made Xia Yu secretly curious. What is Dandan's origin?
This thought flew through Xia Yu's mind. He knew that there would be an answer to this question one day.
Dandan seemed to be too full. After passing through the sea of flames, she immediately got into Xia Yu's arms and shrank into a ball, digesting the spiritual energy she had just absorbed.
Xia Yu smiled secretly, and his arms were almost a place for Dandan to rest.
"Master, there is a person not far ahead!" Xiaolong suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Take me to see, be careful, don't be discovered."
Under the guidance of Xiaolong, Xia Yu looked at the man's direction with full vigilance. After about a quarter of an hour, a slight tinging sound came from the front.
"What is that person doing?" Xia Yu listened to the sound, walked through a passage with obvious traces of artificial digging, and looked at the person's location.
Is this... mining?
Xia Yu looked at the middle-aged man with arms outstretched in front of him in surprise. He waved his pickaxe hard and was purging along a mine track. The rock wall here was no longer made of the dark material as before, but showed a red color. Although the surrounding spiritual energy cannot be compared with the richness of the source of flame, it is several times thicker than the outside world.
Suddenly, the man's pickaxe made a crisp sound, and he was ecstatic. He put down the pickaxe and flipped open the loose rock with his hand, revealing a red crystal the size of a fist inside.
Fire Spirit Source!
Xia Yu recognized at a glance that the red crystal that the man dug out was the fire spirit source filled with Sumeru mustard.
It seems that this man came to dig out the fire spirit source, but the fire spirit source that he regarded as a treasure is not worth mentioning in Xia Yu's eyes. There are too many things! The fire spirit source the size of a fist is like this. If that person sees the fire spirit source that is piled up like a mountain in Xia Yu Sumeru, wouldn't he go crazy?
"Oh, Zhang Xing, you are so lucky. What a top-quality fire spirit source!" A sarcastic voice suddenly came. Amid the chaotic footsteps, fifteen or sixteen simple-clothed men rushed out of the mine road ahead. Their eyes at the fire spirit source were full of greed.
"Zhou Rui, what do you want to do?" The man's face changed and he shouted coldly.
"In this mine cave that looks like a prison, the fire spirit source is the only valuable thing. What do you think I want to do? If such a top-notch fire spirit source is exchanged for food, it will be enough for brothers to eat and drink for a while!" The leader called Zhou Rui said with a sinister smile, "If you know the appearance, hand over this treasure obediently. If it makes the brothers unhappy, don't blame us for being ruthless. In this place, there is no elixir of the cultivator, and it will kill people if they don't do it well..."
It seems that this is a group of mortals, but how did they come here? Xia Yu was puzzled.
"Okay, you can take the fire spirit source!" The man said gritting his teeth and threw the fire spirit source to the ground.
A short and thin man immediately jumped out beside Zhou Rui. He laughed and stepped forward to pick up Huo Lingyuan, and then handed it to Zhou Rui with a little unwillingness.
"Zhang Xing, you know your identity! Brothers, let's go and enjoy it, haha!" Zhou Rui took a group of people back with the mine track when he returned with a group of people and left with a smile.
The man named Zhang Xing was forcibly snatched the fire spirit. He sat on the ground and stared blankly for a while, then picked up the pickaxe again and continued to wield. Xia Yu witnessed the entire robbery incident. Although he was angry, he did not take action without knowing it.
Xia Yu waited in the dark for a while, and confirmed that there were no one else around. He put Dandan and Xiaolong into the celestial chart. Then he showed up and walked towards the man. With Xia Yu's early cultivation level of Qi Refining, he naturally did not need to worry about safety issues when facing a mortal.
"Who!" Zhang Xing turned his head vigilantly when he saw Xia Yu, and was stunned when he saw Xia Yu.
"How did you gain today?" In order to show that he had no malice and to ensure his own safety, Xia Yu walked to a place three meters away from Zhang Xing to make it easier to stop and ask.
"Who are you?" Zhang Xing looked at Xia Yu with a strange expression and asked.
"My name is Xia Yu, and I am also digging out the fire spirit source!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Xing asked with a puzzled look: "Looking at your well-dressed clothes, can't you be escorted here? Strangely, it's not time to escort the newcomer yet, why are you escorted here? Also, it's really abnormal that your clothes can be preserved. Logically speaking, your clothes should have been stolen long ago..."
Xia Yu suddenly became alert. He had already guessed a rough place at this time. He had just witnessed Zhang Xing being stolen from the fire spirit source. Combined with Zhang Xing's remarks at this moment, Xia Yu immediately knew that this place must be extremely chaotic and that property must not be exposed. Thinking of this, he secretly covered the Sumeru mustard on his body with his sleeves.
"I was indeed escorted here. Where is your place?" Xia Yu asked in accordance with Zhang Xing's words.
"You are also mistakenly believing in the news that the mysterious sect recruits disciples. They are attracted by the prospects of the sect they described, so they fell into their trap, right? I think you and I are both cultivators, but they were framed by others and have their cultivation level banned. In the future, they will only become mortal coolies..." Zhang Xing said with a sigh.
"How long have you been here? How many people are there? They are all banned from their cultivation?" Xia Yu was shocked and secretly restrained his magic power, not daring to reveal any of it.
"I have been imprisoned here for more than three years, and there are more than 10,000 people trapped like me. If I hadn't been restricted in my cultivation, I'd probably be the formation here would have been broken long ago. How could I wait until now?"
"Ten thousand people!" Xia Yu was surprised. Which sect was so bold and arbitrary that secretly imprisoned so many cultivators as coolies. If other cultivators outside learned about it, it would definitely cause public outrage.
"I haven't been here for the longest time..." Zhang Xing looked over his head and suddenly said, "It's time for us to go back, otherwise the formation will be blocked outside the formation after a while, and it will be dangerous at night."
