Chapter 249: Exploration and Discovery

On the west side of the Burning Cinders Ridge, on a low slope, Su Yuan took a step and entered the range of the Burning Cinders Ridge.

"The black energy like ash around here seems to increase the activity of the star power in the body?"

Su Yuan's sensitivity to star power is so keen that even though the black ash on the edge of the Burning Cinders Ridge is very sparse, he immediately feels that the star power in his body is a little more active than before.

The higher the activity of star power, the faster the star power circulates, and the faster it refines the star power of heaven and earth.

"But this energy has a heavier fire nature. The current concentration is not a big deal. If the concentration is too high, I'm afraid I will be burned..."

Su Yuan restrained his breath and moved forward while thinking.

The map drawn by Yang Yifeng is relatively abstract. Although it points to the approximate area, it is not so accurate.

However, Su Yuan guessed that this unique energy like black ash on the Burning Cinders Mountain may be related to the Undead Evil Fire.

Although according to the teacher, the Undead Evil Fire was not formed for too long, these black ashes have existed before the Undead Evil Fire.

However, the two are very likely to be of the same origin, or in other words, the Undead Evil Fire is the product of the evolution, sublimation, and transformation of this black ash.

And to give birth to the Divine Fire, there must be extremely amazing energy.

Such thin black ash alone is not enough. If the two are really of the same origin, then where the Undead Evil Fire is, there must be a huge amount of this gray ash with a very high concentration.

"So I just need to look for places with higher concentrations of this black ash..." Su Yuan thought and looked up into the distance, "Although it seems that the concentration of ash in the depths of the Burning Ridge is much higher than that at the edge, it is probably far from enough to breed the Divine Fire."

Su Yuan frowned slightly. To breed a treasure like the Divine Fire, the right time, right place, energy, and opportunity are all indispensable.

If the teacher hadn't said that the Undead Evil Fire existed here, Su Yuan would never have thought that there would be a Divine Fire here.

Not only Su Yuan, but others might not be able to detect it.

The birth of the Divine Fire is earth-shaking and heavenly.

Although there is this kind of ash energy here, there are too many areas with strange energies on Hailan Star, so this is nothing.

Maybe for the lower three levels, or even Yaoxing level, these ash energies can play an auxiliary role in cultivation, but for Huiyue and Zhuoyang level monsters, this auxiliary role is insignificant...

"It's useless to think too much. Let's look for places with higher concentrations first." Su Yuan looked at Ruanruan and reminded him, "Ruanruan, turn into a bracelet, be alert from now on, and communicate with your mind if you have anything to say."

"Puji (OK)!"

Ruanruan saw that Su Yuan's expression was a little more serious, and knew that the adventure was about to begin. After responding excitedly, she turned into a blue bracelet and wrapped it around Su Yuan's left hand.

Su Yuan's mind moved, and he immediately walked forward carefully.

...

Somewhere within the range of Burning Ash Ridge, in a closed space that looked like a cave.

A young man with a pale face and long black hair, who seemed to be malnourished, was walking slowly forward.

Suddenly, the young man seemed to notice something.

"Is it coming again?"

The long-haired young man grinned and turned his head to look at the fork in the distance.

Not long after, there was a sound like a huge wave coming closer and closer.

However, it was not the waves that came, but the dark and dazzling tide of ash that was almost condensed into a solid body!

Moreover, these black ashes are different from the outside world. Each bit of ashes emits a bright black light. In this dark place, it is like a black star. The energy concentrated in it is more than a hundred times that of the outside world!

Such a terrifying energy collection, once it hits a person, can burn the gold level into ashes in the blink of an eye!

However, the long-haired young man looked normal. Not only did he not dodge, but he opened his arms as if to welcome it.

The tide of ash would not be polite to him, and it rushed over him with a whistle.

As the tide of ash hit his body, through the exposed skin of the long-haired young man, you can faintly see that there seem to be more red lines on his body, and a strange power immediately filled his body.

After a moment, the tide of ash swept through, and the long-haired young man turned around, and there was no injury on his body, not even the clothes on his body were damaged!

"What a special fire energy..." The long-haired young man turned around and looked at the black torrent, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "This time it is stronger, is it gold-level?"

As soon as the voice fell, a roar suddenly came from the black and gray torrent, and then condensed into a sturdy purple-eyed barbarian bull!

The purple-eyed barbarian bull was pitch black all over, and even in the purple eyes as big as copper bells, there was a dark evil flame burning quietly.

The aura was extremely powerful, not only reaching the gold level, but also the middle level of gold!

"Good!" The long-haired young man licked his lips, "This place is really a treasure land for me!"

"Moo!!"

As soon as the purple-eyed barbarian bull was transformed, purple-black flames ignited on the horns on its head, and with a stomp of its four hooves, it rushed towards the long-haired young man in a very violent manner.

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the long-haired young man. He opened his right hand, and along with the powerful golden star power, there was another strange power filling his palm. Without dodging at all, he slapped the purple-eyed bull in front of him!

In a flash, the two collided, and the long-haired young man accurately hit the forehead of the purple-eyed barbarian bull between its horns!

The purple-eyed barbarian bull was incredibly powerful, but after the long-haired young man was pushed back several steps, he suddenly stepped down and stabilized his body.

The long-haired young man grinned and said, "It's really the instinct of a low-level star beast to want to win by brute force..."

The purple-eyed barbarian bull, which was already extremely irritable, seemed to feel the contempt of the long-haired young man, and became even more angry. A large amount of star power dyed black by black flying ash surged out of its body and was about to burst out with a stronger force to kill the human in front of it.

However, these star powers that had just surged up seemed to suddenly lose their power and fell back and dispersed in the air.

Looking closely, a strange power wave was falling on the purple-eyed barbarian bull along the long-haired young man's right hand, madly absorbing the heat from the purple-eyed barbarian bull.

The purple-eyed barbarian bull was originally transformed from the energy of the ashes. Now, as the energy was sucked away by the long-haired young man's right hand, the purple-eyed barbarian bull became visibly weak.

"Moo!"

The purple-eyed barbarian bull roared repeatedly, trying to break free from the long-haired young man's right hand but it was difficult to do so.

In just a few seconds, the purple-eyed barbarian bull's dark body turned gray and white as if it had exhausted its energy, and finally exploded and turned into a handful of flying ashes.

The red lines on the long-haired young man's body became visibly brighter!

"It's really a great tonic... I didn't expect to accidentally break into such a place that fits me so well. If this goes on, it won't be long before I can be promoted to Yaoxing. After returning, I will definitely be the finalist!"

The long-haired young man's eyes surged with a strong burning heat, and he curled his lips and continued to jump deeper.

...

A few days later, in a hidden cave in the east of the Burning Ridge.

Su Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with silver lines in his eyes lighting up, and looking in a certain direction.

Through the farsightedness of the omniscient vision, Su Yuan saw a valley surrounded by mountains.

At this moment, in this valley, a group of star beasts were waiting in front of a huge stone gate in an orderly manner.

Although the stone gate was rough, it had a seal left by a Yao-star-level monster.

As for the star beasts in the valley, there were gold-level and silver-level ones, and they were basically star beasts from the cattle and fox tribes.

And between these lower-level star beasts and the stone gate, there were two semi-human star beasts.

One was a bull-horned man with two black bull horns, and the other was a cold young woman with five beautiful red fox tails between her buttocks.

Judging from their physical characteristics and powerful aura, these two were both Yao-star-level monsters!

At this time, the star beasts below were looking at the two monsters with great excitement and anticipation.

"Li Mei, is it almost time?" The bull-horned man asked with his hands folded on his chest.

The fox-tailed young woman closed her eyes, and a little red flame swirled on the five tails behind her. Then she shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer, it's not time yet."

The ox-horned man nodded, and suddenly thought to himself, "I don't know what the situation is. In the past few years, should I go down and take a look?"

"After a while, I have reached a critical juncture in my cultivation recently, and I am about to break through to the intermediate level."

The fox-tailed young woman said this, but her eyes were looking at a golden-level three-tailed fox with a pair of golden pupils in front of her.

The red hair of the three-tailed fox has a little bright gold, which is very extraordinary at first glance.

"Oh?" The ox-horned man didn't notice the fox-tailed young woman's gaze, and grinned, "Good thing! If you can really break through, the next time the Blackwood Valley gathers, our right to speak in Burning Ridge may be further improved."

The fox-tailed young woman replied casually, "I hope so."

...

In the cave, Su Yuan, who was exploring all this from a distance, had some guesses in his heart.

"It seems that the evil fire is probably in there." Su Yuan looked thoughtful.

As early as a day ago, Su Yuan searched almost the entire Burning Cinders Ridge, but did not find any trace of the divine fire.

And, as expected, there was no place with extremely high concentrations of ash energy.

Su Yuan thought that it might be in a place that could not be seen or sensed by the naked eye, such as... underground.

And if it was really underground, ordinary people would be helpless.

However, Su Yuan had omniscience, so he could try to use the ability of perspective + farsightedness to search inch by inch.

Although it was a reckless method similar to exhaustive enumeration, it was the best method without alarming the Yaoxing monster in the Burning Cinders Ridge. It was nothing more than spending more time and star power.

And in the past few days, Ruanruan had devoured the star core of the Sea Soul Tree and obtained the mastery level [Protection of the Sea Soul], which could be regarded as a small power bank.

Unfortunately, the "extra skills" obtained by the "plundering" of the Devouring Law could not be added, and the two epic skills [Protection of the Sea Soul] and [Three Heads and Six Arms] could only be practiced by itself.

As for the three skills of Master Slime, namely, gigantism, regeneration, and deformation, they were perfected directly with the stardust obtained in the past few days.

Back to the point, when Su Yuan was exploring the underground with his farsighted vision, he unexpectedly discovered the movements of the star beasts in the valley over there, and also saw the stone door.

This stone door seemed to be made by a Yao-star-level monster beast. Although there were some seals on it, it could not prevent Su Yuan's perfect-level omniscience from exploring.

Through this stone door, Su Yuan discovered a tunnel leading to an unknown depth underground. Even with the farsightedness of the omniscient vision, he could not see the end of the tunnel.

However, Su Yuan had already guessed that the Undead Evil Fire might be underground, and the appearance of this tunnel coincided with his speculation.

"So, how did he get in..."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up with silver lines, and he looked up into the valley.

At this time, it seemed that the time had come, and there was movement in the valley again...
