Fire Monster

Chapter 259: The Lone Demon

Next, Zhao Guanshan used the ash spear without hesitation to peel off the ash on the purple fire dagger, including his previously reinforced helmet, half-body armor, flame inner armor, and feather arrows.

All the ashes obtained are used for re-strengthening.

But this time, he chose to strengthen not the weapon, but the three-piece set of flame inner armor, half armor, and helmet.

Because he knew too well how important defense was in the spiritual world.

At this point, the importance of Ash Shield is not as important as these three pieces of equipment.

So he also needs to focus on strengthening it.

Among them, the flame inner armor is also strengthened to +5, consuming 1+3 purple fire spirit soldiers.

Half armor, enhanced to +5, consumes 1+4 golden swords.

Helmet, enhanced to +5, consumes 1+4 golden swords.

Since there were not enough spiritual soldiers, Zhao Guanshan waited for a few more days until enough were gathered.

At this point, he had used up all the ashes except for the ashes left for locating in the spirit world.

The spiritual weapons he can carry are:

A +10 ash javelin.

+5 HP and mana recovery jade pendant,
+6 purple fire dagger with extra damage effect,
One piece of +5 flame inner armor with additional defensive effect, one piece of +5 half armor with additional defensive effect, and one piece of +5 helmet with additional defensive effect.

+1 initial large shield side,
+1 initial cloak set,
Carry seven additional golden swords, seven additional green leaf spiritual weapons, and eight additional purple fire spiritual weapons.

It can be said that we are well prepared.

Of course, in order to prepare these, he was delayed for another ten days.

There is no other way. Only one spiritual weapon can be generated every two days.

At this moment, he sprinkled spiritual ashes in front of him, and at the same time, he held the spiritual ash spear in his hand and made a light stroke. In an instant, a crack in the spiritual world appeared. Zhao Guanshan immediately sensed the spiritual world, and he quickly locked onto a position and forcibly located it.

It was not the place where he went offline last time, but the Skull Mountain stronghold where Qin Wuyuan was.

Ten years have passed, and no one knows whether old man Qin Wuyuan is still alive. Last time, Zhao Guanshan promised to visit him once a month and bring him some supplies, but he actually broke his promise.

In a flash, it is ten years.

The feeling of dizziness emerged, but it had weakened a lot. Obviously, the stronger the spirit, the less negative effect it had.

"Go to hell, you old bastard named Zhao!"

A roar suddenly sounded, and then Qin Wuyuan rushed over with murderous intent, but Zhao Guanshan directly took out his spirit ash spear!
The next second, the furious Qin Wuyuan instantly turned into a good boy!

He knew that Zhao Guanshan had a tenth-level enhanced spiritual weapon in his hand, and if he dared to rush forward, he could kill him in an instant.

"Old Qin, long time no see!"

"Bah, you old bastard, you don't keep your word. Ten years, you made me wait for you here for ten years. Do you know how I spent these ten years? Trembling in fear, treading on thin ice, living in fear, a life worse than death!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not here to listen to your complaints. Let's talk about the past ten years. What have the spirits and demons here done?"

"I don't know. I haven't been to Skull Mountain for two or three years. Don't glare at me. It's not easy for me. I have no supplies, no support, and I'm all alone. Even if I'm a level five spirit, I can't handle it. Come on, you should give me some spiritual weapons."

Qin Wuyuan was full of grievances, it was true. Because his physical body had been destroyed and he no longer had his Dharma image, he was unable to condense spiritual weapons on his own. This was his biggest problem.

"Do you think I believe you? Ten years ago, I left you a lot of spiritual weapons. In these ten years, even if you can't get a spiritual weapon with a tenth-level enhancement, you should at least get a spiritual weapon with a nine-level enhancement."

Zhao Guanshan sneered.

"How can I have that?" Qin Wuyuan wanted to argue, but the next second he saw Zhao Guanshan took out a green leaf spiritual weapon, and his eyes lit up immediately, "A spiritual weapon condensed from the Green Wood Dharma, great stuff, give it to me, Old Zhao, Brother Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you know I'm guarding this place alone, and what I lack most is this kind of restorative spiritual weapon!"

"Okay, okay, to be honest, in the past ten years, I have only managed to create a nine-layer enhanced long sword and a nine-layer enhanced half-body armor. The rest of the spiritual weapons have only been enhanced to the seventh layer. Really, I can't compare to you. I have a ten-layer enhanced spiritual weapon. Can I trade with you?"

Zhao Guanshan looked at him quietly, and suddenly threw the green leaf spirit weapon over.

"This is for you. You've worked hard for the past ten years."

"rough!"

Qin Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, then he cursed, took the green leaf, and immediately turned it into a jade pendant. He then grabbed two rocks from his arms and began to strengthen them.

Zhao Guanshan did not urge him and stood by to protect him, watching Qin Wuyuan strengthen the blood-recovering jade pendant to +7 in one breath.

This old guy has a lot of stock on him.

"I must strengthen the Blood Spirit Soldier to the tenth level this time. Old Zhao, I suggest you do the same, because in the spirit world, saving your life is too important."

Qin Wuyuan was filled with emotion.

"You haven't reached level six yet?"

"I didn't have an opportunity, but now that you're here, my opportunity has come. Do you want to cooperate? I want to kill a spirit demon. After killing it, I will almost certainly advance to the sixth level spirit body. All the spirit ashes will be yours. How about it?"

"Okay, but now I need all the rocks you have. So where did you get these?"

"Of course I found it. It's in the deepest part of this Skull Mountain, a place that even our ancestors didn't seem to have been to. But there aren't many. This is the only piece left in my hand."

Qin Wuyuan handed over the remaining half of the rock that had just been strengthened, and Zhao Guanshan sneered.

"It's really the last piece. Hey, Old Zhao, you are rich and powerful, and you have disciples serving you in the real world. What are you fighting with me for?" Qin Wuyuan cursed, and finally took out another piece. It seems that this is really the last piece.

Zhao Guanshan took it and without hesitation, he used the two rocks to grind spiritual ash to strengthen the spiritual ash shield in his hand. The initial +1 strength was too brittle and had to be further strengthened.

"Wait, I remember you had a large shield with ten layers of reinforcement, didn't you?"

"Broken."

"Rough, so you also met a tough guy, hahaha!" Qin Wuyuan was a little gloating.

Zhao Guanshan was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly strengthened the ash shield to +6, finally feeling a little confident.

Qin Wuyuan continued to ask, "Then show me your true colors. The spirit demon I'm going to deal with this time is a bit strong, and I'm afraid you'll hold me back. You should have at least one spirit weapon with a tenth-level enhancement, right?"

"Have."

"You should have survived the inner demon tribulation. How many soul armor pieces do you have?"

"Only one."

"Damn, you, Old Zhao, are just like this. I thought you were an expert in vain."

"Then how many soul armor pieces do you have?"

"I only have one. There are too few streams of light in the spirit world, and it is difficult to condense. So, what is the resonance of your soul armor piece?"

"Blue Snow."

"Damn, you're pretty good, old man. Lan Xue's rank is higher than Liu Guang's, but the most powerful one is said to be Zi Yan. Didn't you resonate with Zi Yan when you were overcoming the inner demon tribulation?"

Qin Wuyuan kept talking, saying that this was extremely confidential information that only the real high-level officials of the Taoist Palace knew.

Last time, Cheng Muye said he wanted to repay his favor, but he didn't mention this at all, which shows how valuable this information is.

However, this is not because Qin Wuyuan is a good person, but because he thinks Zhao Guanshan is the ancestor of the Zhao family, Zhao Wenyu, so he told this precious information.

Otherwise, if it were Zhao Guanshan, the old man would have to extort his bone marrow.

None of these old guys are easy to deal with!

"What's up with the spirit demon you're going to kill? Is it safe?"

At this time Zhao Guanshan spoke slowly. He was actually also considering that the spirit demon was still too strong. He was afraid that he could not bear it and would really hold Qin Wuyuan back. His spirit body could be resurrected, but Qin Wuyuan only had one life, so this was a very important ally.

"It's a lone demon, not the five-element demon in the Demon Tower of Skull Mountain. We can't deal with that kind of demon because it has a backer."

"Oh? Alone, what do you mean?" Zhao Guanshan became interested.

"It's a rotten giant about ten feet tall, with chains on its body, a huge bone sword on its back, and a sledgehammer in its hand. It's currently wandering a few hundred miles away. Of course, it may have wandered thousands of miles away by now. That was a year ago. This rotten giant somehow came to the vicinity of this Skull Mountain."

"But it seemed to be quite afraid of Skull Mountain. It left before even getting close."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan's heart moved. Could it be that the rotten giant he released? However, what Qin Wuyuan said was too unreliable. It happened a year ago, and the rotten giant had already wandered away somewhere unknown. Did he really think this was the spiritual version of "carving a boat to look for a sword"?

"This is not a good idea. I don't have the time to accompany you to search for this lone demon. Or you can choose another opportunity."

Zhao Guanshan put away the ash shield and turned away.

"Wait a minute, Lao Zhao, where are you going?"

Qin Wuyuan actually felt that it was not very reliable, so he did not insist.

"I want to go to the bottom of the Skull Mountain you mentioned. I'm curious about the origin of Skull Mountain."

"That's great. I'll go with you. I'm familiar with that area."

Qin Wuyuan followed with a smile. Zhao Guanshan looked at the old guy suspiciously, feeling that he had bad intentions.

But then again, now that there is a beacon in the real world, he is really not afraid. Old Qin is not going to resort to a robbing-and-unrobbing campaign just to devour the spiritual weapon in his hand. What's the difference between that and killing the chicken to get the eggs?
At the moment, he didn't point it out.

Let Qin Wuyuan lead the way and enter the interior of Skull Mountain.

Here, just like ten years ago, there are ruins of buildings everywhere. The big pit at the entrance is still empty, but the number of those spiritual mist demon soldiers has increased again.

It can be seen that old man Qin Wuyuan really does not keep his word. He has not entered Skull Mountain for regular cleaning for at least four or five years.

The two of them moved forward to clear out the Lingwu demon soldiers. Everything was normal. When Qin Wuyuan led the way and turned left and right in front of them, they finally got into the ruins of an inconspicuous building. There was actually a tunnel here. Following the tunnel down, they went almost ten miles deep, and then the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

"Is this the deepest point that even the ancestors have not discovered?"

Zhao Guanshan frowned as he looked at the huge space here, the thing in the center that was obviously an altar, and the densely packed things behind the altar that looked like tombs.

Qin Wuyuan is really good at lying.

But at this moment, an extremely vicious, cold and powerful aura suddenly appeared. It was the spirit demon.

"I'm sorry, Lao Zhao, there is no other way. This demon is too powerful. Theoretically, we can't defeat it. But it is precisely because of this that I want to break through the sixth level of the spirit body. I must put life and death aside. There is no other way!"

Qin Wuyuan laughed loudly.

But Zhao Guanshan was not surprised at all, as he had expected it.

In fact, he was quite happy at this moment, because he sensed a very strong breath of blue snow, and this spirit demon was also absorbing the blue snow.

What a coincidence!
