I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Jin Man rushed forward, Ming Chuan followed closely behind. The bone-eroding ice flame turned into a line of ice, freezing the roots of the vines in advance.

The moment the dagger pierced the root, the surrounding vines suddenly stiffened, all illusions disappeared instantly, and the chaotic fire spirit aura dissipated like the tide!

Everyone suddenly saw clarity in front of their eyes and realized that they had been spinning in the same place. The lava and roar just now were all fake.

At the root of the largest vine, a red crystal stone engraved with patterns was exposed, which was the core of the magic circle.

Jin Man crushed the crystal with one foot, and the surrounding red vines instantly lost their vitality and wilted.

"The formation is broken!" The disciples breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing their relief at surviving the disaster.

Jin Man wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Ming Chuan: "Thanks to you again this time."

Mingchuan subconsciously wanted to be proud, but there were so many disciples of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect watching him behind him.

He could only pretend to be humble and said respectfully, "Elder Jin, you are joking. I only helped a little. The main reason is that Elder Jin is so powerful."

Jin Man couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body when she saw his hypocritical appearance.

She rolled her eyes at Mingchuan and ignored him.

But at this moment, Mingchuan looked at the road ahead which was no longer twisted, but he did not feel relieved.

This magic circle is arranged so cleverly that it doesn't seem to be naturally formed, but more like man-made.

Could it be that in this secret realm, besides them and the monsters, there are other people secretly plotting something?

Mingchuan's heart suddenly became alert.

The valley was unusually quiet after the formation was broken. The wilted red vines turned gray-brown and lay on the ground like dead snakes.

Only the pure breath of fire remained in the air, burning but no longer chaotic.

Everyone was not excited at all, but became even more nervous.

Jinman walked in front, still holding the dagger in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

All the charm of the past has disappeared.

"This formation is definitely not something that ordinary cultivators can set up. The core of the formation is made of Earth Core Fire Crystal, which ordinary sects cannot obtain."

Mingchuan followed beside her, stroking his chin in thought: "Are you saying that a high-level cultivator is tampering with the secret realm?"

If this is true, then their ideas are exactly the same.

"It might not be a cultivator." Jin Man paused, lowering his voice. "The secret realm itself is controlled by a mysterious force. Perhaps it's a self-generated defense mechanism."

A self-generated defense mechanism?

Holy crap, that's smart!

There was a hint of surprise in Mingchuan's eyes.

As the two were talking, an open area suddenly appeared in front of them.

The ground was covered with irregular cracks, with sparks spurting out from the cracks from time to time. In the center stood a huge red stone, ten feet high, with magma-like lines flowing on its surface. The rich aura of fire spirit almost overflowed from the cracks in the stone!

"This is... the Fire Spirit Crystal Mother?"

The knowledgeable disciples exclaimed in amazement, "This is the legendary treasure that can give birth to high-level fire seeds!"

Everyone suddenly became excited and even quickened their pace.

But just as they approached within a hundred feet of the boulder, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook, and what spewed out of the cracks were no longer sparks, but burning fire snakes, rushing towards everyone!

The fire snake is extremely ferocious. If its fangs penetrate the skin or flesh, it will be reduced to ashes on the spot!

"careful!"

Jin Man shouted, and the purple-gold flame turned into a shield to block the front.

The fire snake hit the shield, making a crackling sound, but failed to penetrate.

But more fire snakes came from all directions and soon surrounded everyone, forming an ever-shrinking circle of fire.

"These fire snakes are unkillable!"

A disciple swung his sword to cut off a fire snake, but the broken part instantly turned into two small fire snakes, and there were more and more of them.

This scene sent chills down everyone's spine!

Looking at the situation, aren't they going to be surrounded and killed?

Mingchuan frowned, and the blood dragon in his body said in a deep voice: "This is the spiritual fire that overflowed from the Fire Spirit Crystal Mother. It cannot be killed by brute force. We must find its source."

Mingchuan looked at the huge red stone and asked, "Is the source in that stone?"

Jin Man also realized: "That's right! The Fire Spirit Crystal Mother is too overbearing, and the overflowing spiritual fire has formed a natural defense. We must suppress the Crystal Mother's restlessness first, otherwise these fire snakes will never be killed!"

"How to suppress it?" Mingchuan asked.

"Use the power of extreme cold and yin to neutralize it." Jin Man looked at him. "Your bone-eroding ice flame is just right."

Mingchuan did not hesitate.

He took a deep breath and condensed the bone-eroding ice flame in his palm. This time he did not hide it, allowing the flame with an icy breath to jump in his palm.

The moment the ice flame left the body, the temperature around it dropped sharply, and the movements of those manic fire snakes obviously slowed down.

"Now!" Jin Man shouted, "Everyone, use the Fire Dragon Whip to wrap around the Fire Snake and buy Ziang some time!"

The disciples immediately did as they were told, and dozens of fire dragon whips intertwined into a net, temporarily trapping the fire snake.

Mingchuan took the opportunity to rush towards the huge red rock and pressed the bone-eroding ice flame in his palm onto the stone surface.

The moment the ice flame touched the boulder, it made a sharp hissing sound.

The magma lines on the stone surface quickly solidified, the flow of the fire spirit aura slowed down significantly, and the surrounding fire snakes also wilted and stopped attacking.

Seeing this scene, everyone's face was filled with smile, even Mingchuan's brow suddenly relaxed.

"It works!" Everyone was excited.

But at this moment, the boulder suddenly shook violently.

A crack appeared on the surface of the boulder, and a fire spirit force far more powerful than before gushed out, actually pushing Mingchuan's bone-eroding ice flame back half an inch!

"Damn it!" Mingchuan exclaimed and retreated quickly.

The force generated by this shock even made his arms start to feel numb!

His face looked bad.

"Not good! The Crystal Mother is resisting!" Jin Man's face changed, and he also rushed forward, the purple-gold flame merging into Mingchuan's ice flame, "I'll help you stabilize it!"

Mingchuan nodded: "Okay!"

Two completely different flames intertwined together, the aura of ice and fire collided and merged with each other, forming a strange energy barrier that suppressed the vibration of the boulder!

Mingchuan only felt a burning pain in his arms, the spiritual power in his body was consumed very quickly, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

"Try harder! It can't hold on any longer!" Jin Man gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Om-!

With a dull roar, the lava lines on the surface of the red boulder completely solidified and the cracks slowly closed.

The surrounding fire snakes lost their source of power and slowly turned into sparks that dissipated into the air.

The crisis was over, Mingchuan and Jinman both breathed a sigh of relief and staggered back a few steps.

Cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

“终于… … “It’s decided.”

Mingchuan gasped, looking at the red boulder that was no longer restless, a tingling sensation of ice and fire still lingering in his palm.

Waves of tingling...
