Chapter 121 The Black-Armored Flame Scorpion Attacks (Please Subscribe!)
Lu Chengan has been practicing the second-level defensive technique Fire Dragon Seal for a while, and the difficulty of practicing this technique is not high.
With the blessing of the panel and the Huode spirit body, Lu Chengan has now cultivated this technique to a small level of success, and is about to reach a great level.
Originally, Lu Chengan was planning to practice the second-level sword-controlling technique called Cloud Shadow Sword Technique, but after learning about the situation in the Burning Flame Mountain Range, he finally decided to practice the Fire Dragon Seal technique to perfection first.
Lu Chengan did not practice steadily for too long. Eight days after he returned to Green Crocodile Island, the monks from the Black-armored Flame Scorpion Clan appeared outside Green Crocodile Island again.
The Black-armored Flame Scorpions are also from the Spirit Clan, and they are natural enemies with the Fire Spider.
After refining the flesh and blood of the Black-armored Flame Scorpion, the Fire-Proofing Spider can quickly increase its cultivation; and the five internal organs of the Fire-Proofing Spider are also the best materials for improving the Black-armored Flame Scorpion's cultivation.
Not only that, the fire jade essence, a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, can help the Earth Fire Spider and the Black Armored Flame Scorpion to quickly improve their cultivation.
Originally, the Fire-Proofing Spider and the Black-armored Flame Scorpion each occupied a spiritual land that produced fire jade essence. However, the Fire-Propelling Spider's strength became weaker and weaker, and the spiritual land they originally occupied was taken away by the Black-armored Flame Scorpion.
After so many years, the two tribes of the Fire-Bearing Spider and the Black-armored Flame Scorpion have become stronger and stronger. After the Black-armored Flame Scorpion learned that Zhu Yan’s cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the second level, he moved to destroy the Fire-Bearing Spider. Spider's thoughts of exterminating the clan.
Of course, this matter was facilitated by Hei Xuan, the patriarch of the Black-armored Flame Scorpion. He wanted to get the five internal organs of Zhu Yan, who had reached the middle stage of the second level.
Now the situation in the Burning Flame Mountain Range is getting more and more chaotic, and it is also the time when there are the most opportunities.
It has been many years since Hei Xuan's cultivation reached the middle stage of the second level. If he could refine Zhu Yan's five internal organs, then he would have a good chance of reaching the late stage of the second level.
Zhu Yan also knew this very well. She was originally planning to send a message to Lu Chengan for help, but she didn't expect that Lu Chengan would just return to Qingcrocodile Island.
"Zhu Yan, you turtle shell can't resist for long. Come out and die. I can still let you other cultivators of the Fire Spiders go, otherwise I will exterminate your Fire Spider clan today!"
Outside Green Crocodile Island, a ferocious black scorpion was hovering in the lava river. This black scorpion was Heixuan, the leader of the Black-armored Flame Scorpion.
He was as big as a buffalo, clad in black and ink armor, and looked extremely extraordinary.
Behind Heixuan, there are two black-armored scorpions that are slightly weaker than him. The cultivation level of these two black-armored scorpions is at the early stage of the second level.
Behind these three black-armored flame scorpions are a varying number of first-order black-armored flame scorpions. Their huge bodies hover in the magma river, turning the fiery red magma river surface into black ink.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I believed what you said, my life would have been in vain for so many years!"
Zhu Yan stood outside Green Crocodile Island. She looked at Hei Xuan and other black-armored Flame Scorpion monks outside the island with cold eyes, and cursed angrily: "If you have the ability, just do it. Why do you say so many things?" !”
Zhu Yan still believed in the power of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation, and Lu Chengan was also on Green Crocodile Island now.
They might still be unable to defeat Hei Xuan and other monks from the Black-armored Flame Scorpion Tribe, but they would never even think of entering Green Crocodile Island.
"Zhu Yan, since you want to die, then I will help you!"
A cold murderous intention appeared in Hei Xuan's eyes: "Friend Chi Ling, please come with me to take action!"
The moment Hei Xuan's voice fell, a monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake emerged from the lava river.
This monster is called a human-faced python, and it is also from the spirit race.
The number of human-faced pythons in the Burning Flame Mountains is very rare. However, this clan is different from the equally rare mineral-eating spirit clan. The training talent of the human-faced pythons is much better than that of the mineral-eating spirit clan. There are many second-level pythons in the Burning Mountains. Human-faced pythons exist.
However, they do not like to live in groups and often act individually.
The Chi Ling who followed Hei Xuan now is such a human-faced python, and his cultivation level is also in the middle of the second level.
"It's broken, it's a mid-level second-level human-faced python!"
Zhu Yan exclaimed in surprise when she saw Chi Ling appear.
She couldn't help but cast her eyes on Lu Chengan: "Fellow Daoist Lu, can the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation block the attacks of two mid-level second-order monks?"
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, even if there is another mid-level second-level monk, they will not be able to break through the defense of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation!"
Lu Chengan smiled reassuringly at Zhu Yan, condensed a magic formula in his hand, and then raised a formation flag by him.
At this time, the Black Turtle Fire Gang Array on Green Crocodile Island was completely activated, and a huge ink-colored giant turtle phantom appeared in the sky above Green Crocodile Island.
The giant turtle's shadow encompassed the entire Green Crocodile Island, forming an extremely strong defense.
"It's a pity that the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation is a purely defensive spiritual formation. It can only resist the attacks of the Black-armored Flame Scorpion Clan, but cannot actively attack them." Lu Chengan sighed softly.
Although his cultivation level is one level lower than Zhu Yan's, his control over the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation is better than Zhu Yan's.
Zhu Yan trusted Lu Chengan so much that she simply handed over control of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation to Lu Chengan.
"As long as we can block their attacks, with the strength of our Fire Spider, it is basically impossible to defeat the Black-armored Flame Scorpion." Zhu Yan sighed lightly.
The gap between their Fire Spider and Black-armored Flame Scorpion is really too big, but they have obtained a lot of pills from the Lu family in recent years.
Although the effects of these elixirs are not as good as those of Fire Jade Essence, they are not much different.
Now Zhu Lu, Zhu Xing and Zhu Ran in the clan are about to break through to the second level.
The Fire Spider also has a spiritual object that can assist in breaking through to the second level. This kind of spiritual object is called Earth Core Fire Jade, which can only be produced in the depths of the magma river.
And there will definitely be a giant fire catfish in the place where the fire jade is born in the center of the earth.
The giant fire catfish is a kind of monster that lives deep in the magma river. This kind of monster is very ferocious. It is not easy to get the Earth Core Fire Jade from them.
This was what Zhu Yan wanted to ask Lu Chengan for help with before. She wanted Lu Chengan to work with her to snatch the Earth Core Fire Jade from the giant fire catfish.
Unfortunately, just after Lu Chengan's cultivation reached the foundation-building realm, the Lu family encountered an invasion. After that, Lu Chengan basically had no free time.
Now the black-armored fire scorpion clan came to attack them again, and until now she had no chance to mention this matter to Lu Chengan.
After Zhu Yan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, she followed Lu Chengan's command and jointly activated the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation.
The black giant turtle on Green Crocodile Island shrouded the outside. Hei Xuan led the black-armored fire scorpion monks and the mid-level second-level human-faced python Chi Ling to attack Green Crocodile Island.
Although there are four monks among them who are comparable to the foundation-building realm, even Heixuan and Chiling are comparable to monks in the middle-stage foundation-building realm.
But their attack did not cause much damage to the black giant turtle phantom outside Green Crocodile Island.
This is because they know nothing about formations, and they don’t have treasures like formation-breaking talismans and formation-breaking cones in their hands that are specifically designed to break spiritual formations. Their strength is indeed not weak, but they want to rely on brute force to break through the second-level middle-level formations. The Xuangui Fire Gang Formation is still a fantasy.
What's more, now this formation is still driven by Lu Chengan himself, and with the cooperation of Zhu Yan, who is in the middle of the second level, the power of this second-level mid-level defensive spiritual formation is brought into full play.
After Hei Xuan led the monks from his clan to attack Qing Crocodile Island for nearly half an hour, he still failed to achieve any results, which made him accumulate endless anger in his heart.
He couldn't help but curse Zhu Yan Po Kong on Green Crocodile Island.
Zhu Yan was equally willing to give in, and her scoldings were even harsher than Hei Xuan's.
Lu Chengan had been standing next to Zhu Yan. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed while listening to the scolding battle between Zhu Yan and Hei Xuan, the two middle-level second-order spiritual tribes.
After Hei Xuan and Zhu Yan cursed at each other for a while, Hei Xuan was finally defeated and had to retreat temporarily with the black-armored Fire Scorpion monks.
The Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation on Green Crocodile Island was completely beyond Hei Xuan's expectation. Hei Xuan originally thought that they could easily get rid of Zhu Yan after they found the Fire Spider's foothold.
But now they have spent too long here with the Fire Spider, and the foundation of their Black-armored Fire Scorpion clan is still deep in the Burning Flame Mountains.
If they still can't break through the defense of Green Crocodile Island, they will have no choice but to give up the attack on the Fire Spider for the time being.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, thanks to you this time, if I were to maintain the operation of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation, I might be attacked by Hei Xuan!" Zhu Yan said with fear.
This time, Hei Xuan also invited a mid-level second-order human-faced python, obviously with the intention of capturing Green Crocodile Island.
However, what he did not expect was that Lu Chengan, a human monk, would now enter Qingcrocodile Island, and this time it would be Lu Chengan who would maintain the operation of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation.
This increased the defensive power of the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation by more than one step, and all of Hei Xuan's plans came to nothing.
"This is what I should do, after all, I am also practicing on Green Crocodile Island!"
Lu Chengan looked at Zhu Yan with a smile and said: "Now the monks of the black-armored fire scorpion clan have retreated. They should not come again in a short time. I will continue to practice next to the fire spring.
If the monks from the black-armored fire scorpion clan appear again, Fellow Daoist Zhu can go directly to the fire spring to find me. "
Lu Chengan now feels that there is not enough time at all. He still has many things that have not been completed, and he can't wait to break the time in half.
"Then you go to practice by the fire spring now. If anything happens, I will come find you!"
Zhu Yan also felt Lu Chengan's sense of urgency, so she did not disturb Lu Chengan's practice.
After a while, Lu Chengan sat cross-legged next to the fire spring again and began to continue practicing the Fire Dragon Seal, a defensive technique.
Of course, Lu Chengan did not spend all his time practicing the Fire Dragon Seal technique. He was still studying the Earth Flame Manual, and he also did not miss the fixed daily practice.
Lu Chengan has been practicing the Earth Flame Manual for some time. After he practiced this technique to the basic level, his progress improved relatively quickly.
Now the progress displayed on the panel has reached entry level 89, and soon he will be able to reach a small level of understanding of this technique.
The monk's understanding of the skills is still very deep, and the time it takes to run the skills will gradually shorten, so that the speed of cultivation will gradually increase.
It took Lu Chengan eleven hours to run the Earth Flame Manual for one big week for the first time. Now he only needs ten hours and a quarter to run the Earth Flame Manual for one big week, shortened by nearly an hour.
What Lu Chengan mainly does now is to improve his cultivation and practice magic. These two things take up all his time and energy.
Lu Chengping devoted himself physically and mentally to his cultivation, gradually forgetting the passage of time.
Half a month had passed since Heixuan led the monks of the black-armored Fire Scorpion clan to attack Green Crocodile Island. He finally gave up the attack on Green Crocodile Island and returned to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains with the monks in his clan.
After Zhu Yan confirmed that the Black Armor Fire Scorpion Clan's cultivators had left, she sent the clan's cultivators into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to inquire about the situation in the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.
Zhu Yan knew that Lu Cheng'an wanted to know the details of the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, and it was most appropriate for her to do this.
But her goal was too big, and Hei Xuan already knew that her cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the second stage.
If her whereabouts were exposed, she would definitely attract Hei Xuan's pursuit.
Without the second-level middle-grade defensive spirit formation of the Green Crocodile Island, she was no match for Hei Xuan.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Zhu Yan decided to send the first-level cultivators of the clan into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to investigate the situation.
This was not only for Lu Cheng'an, their Fire-Splitting Earth Spider Clan also needed to know the situation in the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.
Lu Cheng'an didn't know what Zhu Yan had done, and he was not disturbed again during his retreat this time.
After two months of concentrated cultivation, he had made great progress in both his skills and magic.

"My art of Earth Flame Sutra has reached minor success. Now it only takes me nine hours and two quarters to circulate the Earth Flame Sutra for a large cycle. If I can comprehend the Earth Flame Sutra to achieve major success, this time may be shortened to seven hours."
Lu Chengan couldn't help but sighed when he thought of this. Whether it was art or technique, the later the practice, the more difficult it would be to make progress.
Just like the two spells he is practicing now, the Cave Fire Finger and the Fire Dragon Seal, have all reached the state of perfection.
But they are not really perfect. The reason why he stopped practicing these two spells and practiced new spells is that if he practices these two spells to true perfection, it will take more time and energy.
"I have already started the second-level sword-controlling technique, the Cloud Shadow Sword Technique, but I don't have a suitable second-level magic sword in my hand!"
Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, and the power of his consciousness emerged and instantly entered the storage bag on his waist.
He used his spiritual power to quickly check the second-level refining furnace and the materials for refining the second-level lower-grade Lieyan magic sword stored in the storage bag. After a little hesitation, he took out all the materials and utensils for refining the second-level lower-grade Lieyan magic sword.
