Chapter 494 Secretly Absorbing Qi and Blood

"Haha, since everyone has no objections, then the matter is settled. As for how to obtain the Earth Core Fire Lotus, I ask you to express your opinions. Why don't you ask fellow Taoist Yuan to speak first." Taoist Qianbao laughed and looked at Yuan Ming. There was an inquiring look in his eyes.

"These fire crocodiles are not weak in strength, and they don't know how many there are. I'm afraid it won't work to kill them all and then collect the lotus. The best way is to separate some people who are good at escape skills to collect the fire lotus, and the rest will serve as assistants to help contain them. And stop the fire crocodile, so that we can harvest the Earth Fire Lotus with minimal losses." Yuan Ming secretly warned Taoist Qianbao, but said calmly.

After the words fell, everyone, including Taoist Qianbao, fell silent. Many people's eyes fell on Yuan Ming, as if they were considering the feasibility of the method he said.

"I think this method is feasible." After a while, Fairy Jinyun broke the silence and nodded.

"This method is indeed suitable, but who will be responsible for picking the lotus?" Taoist Qianbao also agreed and then asked.

"I'll go." Qingtong was the first to respond. No matter what happened in the end, he naturally took the initiative by holding the fire lotus in his hand.

"I can try it too." Bing Xin also wanted to try her luck relying on her ice lin spirit beast.

"I think I can do it too..."

There was a lot of noise for a while, and almost everyone volunteered.

"Compared with who will pick the lotus, I am more concerned about how to distribute the collected fire lotus?" Huan Lingzi said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and was silent for a moment again.

"In my opinion, since everyone worked together to do this, it is natural to put them in one place after collection and distribute them fairly." Long Chong said.

"The number of people and the number of fire lotus collected may not be equal, so how can we talk about fair distribution? You can't just chop it into pieces and judge the weight, right?" Qing Tong stabbed without any yin or yang.

"Compared to the protection task, the risk of lotus picking is obviously greater. Even if it is evenly distributed, it is not fair." Hou Santong also said at this time.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and with every word you say to me, I suddenly have no reliable ideas.

"If you want to keep arguing like this, it's useless to cooperate. Let's fight based on our ability. If you die, there will be no resentment, and if you get hurt, there will be no blame." Qingtong saw everyone talking for a long time, but did not say anything about it, and said disdainfully.

"Why go to all this trouble. Those who pick lotuses must at least ensure that they collect enough for each person. As for the excess, they will be divided equally among others. If the quantity is not enough, they will be compensated with spiritual stones and spiritual materials. How about it?" Yuan Ming asked.

"This method is not bad." Fairy Jinyun glanced at Yuan Ming, with admiration flashing in her eyes.

"I agree." Hou Santong said.

"I agree too." Long Chong nodded.

Seeing that no one objected, Taoist Qianbao said: "Since everyone thinks it is reasonable, it is settled. Those who just said they would pick lotus for everyone, please come forward."

His voice fell for a long time, but no one responded.

Just now, they were afraid that their own interests would be damaged, so they were all proactive. Now that their interests have been guaranteed and everyone can get an Earth Fire Lotus, naturally no one is willing to take risks.

"I'll do it." Yuan Ming said.

During the competition the day before yesterday, everyone had seen his magical power that was close to the lightning escape technique, so no one objected.

"Count me in." Fairy Jinyun said proactively.

Seeing this, Qiongyun wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Yuan Ming's message.

"Fellow Daoist Qiongyun, you and Long Chong have to protect me. I can't trust anyone else." Yuan Ming's voice rang in her sea of ​​consciousness, and she stepped back.

"If there are only two people, the collection speed will be too slow. As the saying goes, things will change if things are delayed. It is best to fight quickly." Huan Lingzi said.

"In that case, why not invite fellow Daoist Huan Lingzi to join us?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Everyone knows that I am not good at escape. If I go to pick lotus, I'm afraid it will be a drag." Huan Lingzi cursed in his heart and refused.

"Isn't Taoist Brother Huan Lingzi good at escape techniques? Why do I remember that Taoist friend can transform into golden light and escape to the ground? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?" Yuan Ming touched his chin and pretended to be confused.

When Huan Lingzi thought about the "Golden Light Talisman" that Yuan Ming had forced him to use before, he couldn't help but have veins on his forehead protruding, and his heart was full of anger. However, he controlled his emotions very well, and the protruding veins quickly disappeared.

"Haha, maybe fellow Taoist memory is wrong." Huan Lingzi said with clenched fists in his sleeves and still maintaining a smile on his face.

"That's all. Although I'm not good at escaping, I still have some magic weapons around me. I'll go pick the lotus as well." Seeing that no one responded, Taoist Qianbao had to say.

"Three people are enough." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Everyone, whether it is picking lotus or luring away the fire crocodile, it is not an easy task. Here, let me declare in advance that no one is allowed to secretly kill others while picking lotus. Anyone who violates this will be punished. Not only will you lose the qualifications for the Fire Lotus distribution, but you will also have to hand over everything you have obtained before and be kicked out of the team!" Fairy Jinyun warned.

Her warning might not be enough, but with Fuso Island behind her, no one would dare not take it seriously.

"It's natural. If he does something small at this time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration if we all kill him together." Long Chong glanced at Qing Tong with a meaningful look and agreed.

"Yes, it is also a disaster to keep such a person who does not care about the overall situation."

"As it should be..."

While everyone responded, their eyes involuntarily swept over Qingtong and Long Chong.

The two of them looked at each other intently and ignored everyone's gaze.

After the discussion was completed, everyone began to make preparations.

Zhong Ling and the other two took out a stack of formation flags and array plates, as well as many green wooden pillars, and began to arrange the Ten Thousand Wood Formation. The leaders of each team also explained the tasks of their members.

Yuan Ming, Long Chong and the other four also gathered together to discuss the next action.

"Next, we will act together with Huan Lingzi, Qing Tong and others. Everyone should be careful to prevent them from doing anything sinister." Yuan Ming reminded the three.

"I don't think they dare." Long Chong snorted coldly and said.

"You, you guy, don't be careless." Qiong Yun said dissatisfiedly.

Yuan Ming used his emotional ability to sense that Huan Lingzi and Qing Tong were full of resentment in their hearts, and they might not dare to take risks. Just as he was about to say something, Hong Ling's voice suddenly came from his sea of ​​consciousness:

"Yuan Daoyou, Xueying and I are bored in the Shura Blood Devouring Map every day. Those fire crocodiles are difficult to deal with. We can help when needed."

"Two Daoists, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to appear on this occasion." Yuan Ming hesitated slightly and replied in voice transmission.

"Don't worry, we will be very careful when we attack, and no one else will notice." Hong Ling said.

"No need, you two just stay in the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram." Yuan Ming did not hesitate this time and refused directly.

"Yuan Daoyou, to tell you the truth, I believe you also know that we, the blood slaves of the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram, need pure blood and qi to survive and practice. The blood and qi in the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram has been used up. The fire crocodiles in the magma lake are huge and have abundant blood. We can smell them through the magic weapon. There are many of them, which is very suitable for refining into blood source power." Xueying interrupted and said.

"Oh, really?" Yuan Ming did not comment.

He naturally knew that Hong Ling and Xueying needed blood and qi to practice. These two were both in the Nascent Soul stage. They were favored by Master Shura and refined into the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram. Their talents must be good. If there is a constant supply of blood and qi, it is possible that the two will break through to a higher level.

Yuan Ming's cultivation is only in the early stage of Jindan, and his practice of the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram is not deep enough. Hong Ling and Xue Ying are too powerful, which is not a good thing.

"Collecting Qi and blood power is not just for us, Fellow Daoist Yuan, your second level of the Demon Elephant Prison Technique seems to be about to be completed. Next, you need a lot of Qi and blood power to practice. At present, this opportunity to store Qi and blood power is rare." Hong Ling saw Yuan Ming began to hesitate and added hurriedly.

Yuan Ming finally felt a little moved after hearing this.

If he encounters one or two more star rains, his iron bone body will be completed, and he will indeed need a lot of pure Qi and blood later.

"Okay, I can let you capture some fire crocodiles later, but others must not find out that it was me who did it." He hesitated for a moment and said in a voice transmission.

"Don't worry, we have our own means and will not let them find out that it is related to you." Hong Ling said hurriedly.

The rest of the people soon made preparations and took action.

Although it was a joint action, the parties were roughly divided into three groups according to their respective teams, preparing to attack the fire crocodile in the center of the lake from three different directions.

Yuan Ming only had Ulu, Long Chong and Qiong Yun to help him stop the fire crocodile, and their strength was a bit weak. Qianbao Taoist couldn't really spare anyone to help, so he could only discuss with Huan Lingzi and ask him to send one person over.

Originally thought Huan Lingzi would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed very straightforwardly, and then sent Qingtong over.

Yuan Ming saw that it was Qingtong who was assigned, and wanted to refuse, but Fairy Jinyun had already urged: "Don't dawdle, if we encounter another star rain later, the situation will only be worse, let's get started."

"Fellow Daoist Qingtong, I didn't expect that we would act together next, please give me more advice." Long Chong looked at Qingtong and said with a grin.

The latter just grinned and looked indifferent.

After everyone was ready, Taoist Qianbao gave an order, and Zhong Ling, Hua Ping and Baili Zhui were the first to move.

They sat cross-legged on the shore of the magma lake, each holding a green disc in their hands, and began to press the disc with their hands and close their eyes to cast spells.

As their magic power was transferred in, the disc quickly lit up with green light, forming a series of circular green light circles under them, spreading like water ripples.

Wherever the green light passed, the ground was full of vitality and a layer of green moss grew.

And along the shore of the magma lake, the green wooden stakes they had buried before came to life at this moment, twisting and growing one by one, and turned into a series of extremely sturdy green giant trees.

There were no leaves on the giant trees, but extremely thick vines hanging down.

"Let's start." Taoist Qianbao shouted.

The dozens of towering giant trees immediately twisted their waists and waved their vines like living things to slap the surface of the magma lake.

"Pah-pah"

A series of crackling sounds were heard. The giant tree vines were actually very fire-resistant. They splashed countless sparks in the rolling magma lake, but they were not burned.

The fire crocodiles that had just been dormant were disturbed and surfaced again.

However, because the area affected by the vines was too large, this time dozens of fire crocodiles were disturbed at the same time, and they opened their mouths and bit the vines fiercely.
