Mortal: Intercept Xin Ruyin and copy everything!

"Let's follow them. We can't get too far away from the puppets. After all, it's still unknown whether these puppets can lure out those flying scorpions. We must pass this mountain as soon as possible."

Nanlong Hou and the old man nodded in agreement and immediately followed the giant ape's trajectory.

When the giant ape approached the mountain, Wang Lin and others were not far from the mountain.

The three of them immediately cast a spell to gather their energy and breath, while the giant ape puppets simultaneously crushed the small bottles in their hands with one hand.

In an instant, a strong pungent smell spread and quickly covered the area around the mountain.

Several huge ape-like creatures immediately turned into several balls of dazzling white light and flew away to one side.

As the puppets scattered and fled, the two men, Nanlonghou and others, who were hiding, held their breath and concentrated.

In comparison, Wang Lin, who was using the breath-concealing technique, was much calmer.

These spiritual beasts find it difficult to detect their own presence.

Just as a few giant apes flew not far away, a few shrill and strange noises suddenly came from the originally quiet mountain top.

As soon as he heard the strange sound, Nanlong Hou immediately felt his blood boiling, his head felt dizzy, and he almost fell from the air.

Wang Lin waved his sleeves, and the spiritual power in his body circulated, and the discomfort in his body disappeared instantly.

Turning around and using his spiritual eyes to take a look, he saw that Nanlong Hou and the other man were in an equally miserable state, and they shook for a few times before returning to normal.

Just as Wang Lin was thinking secretly in his heart, thirteen or fourteen deep purple rainbow lights suddenly shot out from the top of the mountain and instantly rushed towards the huge spirit apes.

Wang Lin quickly issued a command with his spiritual sense, and the spirits of several spirit apes immediately activated their maximum escape speed, transformed into several white streams of light, and flew away.

In just a moment, relying on his powerful spiritual sense, Wang Lin roughly saw the things in the purple rainbow.

These creatures are no different from ordinary scorpions except for their huge size, with each one being more than ten feet tall, shiny purple in color, and having a pair of transparent wings.

But the scorpion flying in the front was much larger than its peers, reaching a height of two meters. It was obviously the leader of the group of scorpions.

Seeing this creature spewing yellow mist from its mouth and with a ferocious face, Wang Lin's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Although the speed of the spirit ape was obviously inferior to those purple-striped scorpions, it still successfully led the purple-striped scorpions away temporarily during the process of escape and chase.

Soon, they disappeared into the distance and turned into small black dots.

Soon after, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky:
"Let's go! A puppet has triggered the restriction and is being caught up."

As soon as Wang Lin finished speaking, spiritual light flashed around him, and the art of concealment disappeared in an instant, and he broke through the air and rushed away.

Upon seeing this, the other two immediately transformed into two golden rainbows and flew rapidly towards the top of the mountain.

The three men knew that the purple-striped scorpion moved as fast as the wind. If they didn't pass the hill ahead in time, they would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, the three of them were all very fast. Even if Wang Lin did not use the Wind and Thunder Wings, he was able to fly over the top of the mountain in an instant with his profound cultivation that far surpassed that of the cultivators of the same level.

At this moment, several giant ape puppets he sensed had lost contact one after another.

Wang Lin was shocked and didn't dare to stop for a moment. He flew more than ten miles away from the purple-striped scorpion's nest in one breath.

Only when they stopped temporarily on another hill did the three of them finally feel relieved.

"I was able to pass this time smoothly thanks to my brother's Bijiu poison and the mechanical puppet. Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult."

Nanlong Hou was all smiles and kept praising.

"It was just a coincidence."

Wang Lin glanced at Nanlong Hou calmly, without saying anything.

The Green Dove Poison was originally an item among the relics left by Master Cangkun, but Wang Lin had no intention of explaining it further and just glossed over the matter vaguely.

The old man surnamed Lu was very satisfied to see the matter being resolved smoothly, and his words were full of praise.

Wang Lin smiled calmly and responded with a few simple words. Then the three of them set off again and embarked on their journey.

The journey then returned to its original smooth state and they flew for half a day without encountering any obstacles.

However, as time went on, the temperature in the air gradually rose, bringing a hint of heat.

On the mountains, the originally lush vegetation gradually became sparse until it disappeared completely, leaving bare land. The scene looked quite unusual.

Eventually, the rocks of these mountains even took on a strange, fiery red color.

On some mountaintops, lava cracks of varying sizes can be vaguely seen, with red lights flashing and spewing out hot winds and gray-white dust.

It all looked like a scene from a fiery hell.

Wang Lin and Lu Weiying were surprised by this, but seeing that Nanlong Hou looked calm and it was obvious that the route was correct, they said nothing more.

Soon, a huge red mountain thousands of feet high appeared in front of them.

Most of this huge peak penetrates the clouds directly, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding low mountains, which is particularly eye-catching.

Nanlong Hou, who was leading the way in front, stopped his escape light after seeing the giant peak, and his body also stopped.

Wang Lin and Nanlong Hou looked at each other and were both cheered up.

"My two fellow Taoists, the cave under the mountain ahead is the lair of the fire toad beast, and it contains the remains of an ancient monk."

Nan Longhou took a deep breath, turned around and suggested solemnly:
"It is said that this beast has a keen sense of perception. We might as well stop and discuss before taking action."

Hearing this, Wang Lin raised his brows slightly, and then quickly sent his spiritual sense to that place.

At the bottom of the giant peak, there was a huge fiery red cave entrance, with waves of heat gushing out from time to time.

In order to avoid alarming the fire toad beast in the cave, Wang Lin quickly withdrew his spiritual sense and did not rashly explore further.

"No need to discuss further. Fellow Daoist Wang can use your ice-attributed skills to attack, and the two of us will assist from the side to directly kill the fire toad beast."

Lu Weiying proposed the battle plan without hesitation.

"Brother Lu, this matter is by no means as simple as it seems. Nearly half of the Fire Toad's nest is built in lava."

"Even if this beast is seriously injured, it can recover instantly as long as it jumps into the lava."

"It is disadvantageous to fight it in this terrain. The best strategy is to set up a magic circle first, lure it out of its nest and then kill it."

"For this purpose, I have specially prepared a set of equipment for setting up a water-attribute magic array."

Nanlong Hou said with confidence.

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Lu did not object, and Wang Lin also felt that this plan was feasible.

After the three of them had finalized their plan, they began to make preparations.

In addition to the large formation mentioned by Nanlong Hou, Wang Lin also arranged several sets of magic formations on its outside to prevent accidents.

Everything was arranged properly, and the three finally decided to hide aside, and Wang Lin controlled the puppet beast to lead the ancient fire toad out of its nest.

Wang Lin patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and the only remaining white wolf puppet beast flew out of the bag.

Afterwards, Wang Lin sat cross-legged near the magic circle, controlling the puppet beast and heading straight for the cave under the giant peak.

After Wang Lin entered the cave through the spirit in the puppet, he sensed everything clearly.

The white wolf walked forward to a natural passage that was about 20 to 30 feet high. The walls of the cave were black and red, with flames occasionally bursting out of the cracks. The high temperature caused the air nearby to distort and deform.

If someone with a lower level of cultivation entered this passage, they would be unable to guard against the hot wind and high temperature, and would be immediately suffocated. But this mechanical puppet white wolf would not be like that.

After flying along the passage for a while, the view suddenly opened up and a fiery underground world appeared in front of us. This place was hundreds of feet wide, and the most eye-catching thing was the lava lake that covered most of the area.

The fiery red bubbles kept rolling and bursting. If you got close to them, you would feel like you were roasted to a pulp. It was extremely terrifying.

The lake is surrounded by reddish rock ground, on which there are a few traces of green magical herbs, which is amazing and unusual.

However, Wang Lin's soul had no interest in the spiritual herbs, and his gaze had already been focused on the huge protruding rock in the center of the lava lake.

Above the lava lake, a fiery red monster was lying on its back, making sounds of deep sleep.

This monster is more than three meters long and five or six meters wide. It looks like a giant toad, but its skin glows like flames, making it look extremely powerful.

Every time it breathes, a layer of red cloud appears on its body, adding a bit of mystery.

Wang Lin observed it carefully for a long time and finally confirmed that this was the legendary fire toad beast.

Then he turned his gaze and looked at an ancient stone platform opposite the lava lake.

Although there are many patterns and runes carved around this stone platform, its four corners have been corroded and are in a dilapidated state.

However, in the center of the stone platform, there were the remains of a monk, wrapped in a green robe, lying there quietly.

This robe is simple and rustic in style, and is obviously not what monks wear today.

And after all these years it is still as new as ever, emitting a faint green light, obviously an extraordinary item.

The bones in the remains were translucent and clear like crystal, which looked very strange.

Wang Lin carefully scanned the skeleton and the fire toad beast, and separated a trace of his spiritual consciousness to quietly explore the remains of the cultivator to confirm whether there were any treasures hidden.

There was no sign of treasure or storage bag on the surface, which made him suspicious.

Perhaps the treasure is hidden inside the green robe or near the stone platform, so they decided to search for it.

However, when his spiritual consciousness approached the remains, something strange happened.

The green robe suddenly flashed with spiritual light, and a layer of green light appeared on it, rebounding the divine consciousness. At the same time, the spiritual energy nearby also began to fluctuate abnormally.

The originally sleeping fire toad seemed to sense some changes and suddenly opened its eyes. Its emerald green eyeballs moved rapidly, staring at the white wolf puppet at the entrance of the cave.

"Discovered!"

Wang Lin's heart moved and he recited aloud.

Then he controlled the white wolf puppet to turn around quickly and turned into a white rainbow and shot towards the direction it came from.

At the same time, the seemingly clumsy fire toad suddenly turned over and jumped up, lying on the huge rock again.

When the fire toad saw the white rainbow disappearing, it couldn't help but become extremely angry. After a low roar, it suddenly kicked the ground with its thick and powerful hind legs.

In an instant, it was enveloped by a brilliant red glow, and then it quickly chased after it.

"The fire toad is approaching, fellow Taoists, please be careful."

Wang Lin, who was hiding near the magic circle, moved his lips slightly and silently warned Nanlong Hou and the other two using the art of sound transmission.

When Nanlong Hou and the other person heard this, their expressions suddenly became solemn, and they all turned their gazes towards the towering peaks in the distance.

Suddenly, a white rainbow shot out from the giant peak like an arrow and flew straight towards where they were.

A moment later, another ball of red light flashed out from the cave entrance, closely chasing the white rainbow.

The speed of their escape did not decrease at all, and was not inferior to that of ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivators.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lin's expression changed slightly.

Fortunately, the puppet sent out for this operation was the White Wolf, which excels in speed.

Otherwise, it would be hard to predict whether one could successfully lure the fire toad over.

With this in mind, he once again activated the spirit in the White Wolf puppet, ordering it to fly away at all speed in an extraordinary state, regardless of the cost of the puppet's body.

At the same time, he turned his palm over, and a ball of azure ice flame quietly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Nanlong Hou and the other man had gloomy expressions. They each prepared their magic weapons and quietly stood guard on both sides of the magic circle, ready for battle.

On the top of the giant peak, the place where Wang Lin and everyone else were seemed far away, but in fact a white rainbow carrying a fiery red glow arrived in an instant.

Wang Lin's face turned grim, and the ice flame in his hand quietly expanded by three points.

Just as Baihong was about to break into the formation, the fire toad behind him seemed anxious.

With a "quack" sound, a red fireball spurted out of its mouth, which was initially only the size of a head.

After flying several feet, it turned into a huge monster and caught up with the white wolf puppet at the edge of the formation.

The raging hurricane of flames was more than ten feet high and instantly submerged the puppet.

There were crackling sounds coming from the flames, and then silence.

The demonic fire in the fire toad's body is obviously extraordinary. Its power far exceeds that of ordinary flames, and even surpasses the infant fire of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult to deal with this ball of fire.

Wang Lin stood silently, holding a ball of misty icy flame in one hand and tapping the storage bag on his waist with the other hand, releasing six blue lights from it.

When the fire toad on the opposite side sensed the hostility emanating from Wang Lin, a fierce light suddenly appeared in its eyes, and then a huge fireball spewed out of its mouth and headed straight for the opponent.

Faced with this sudden attack, Wang Lin remained calm, intending to take this opportunity to test the power of the opponent's demonic fire.

He gently raised the hand holding the ice flame.

The blue ice flame condensed into shape in an instant, turning into a misty blue ice flower, which flew lightly to the opposite side and encountered a huge fireball with a diameter of five or six feet.

Despite the huge difference in size between the two, an amazing scene happened when the ice flower and the fireball came into contact.

With a "sizzle", the surface of the fireball was covered with a thick layer of blue ice. The huge ice ball was suspended in the air, and the red flame at its core was still jumping.

This scene made Wang Lin slightly stunned.

The fire toad beast on the opposite side became furious when it saw that its fireball was confined, and it spewed hundreds of fist-sized fireballs from its mouth and shot towards it.

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at the scarlet fireballs with an expressionless face and slightly parted lips.

A ball of golden flame burst out of his mouth at this moment.

The fire spirit rose up into the wind and instantly transformed into a vermilion curtain of fire, swallowing up the oncoming fireballs one by one.

The Fire Toad Beast was slightly stunned when he saw that his method was easily solved.

However, this monster seemed to have limited intelligence. It did not even think. Its body was flashing with light and instantly turned into a ball of red light. It pounced forward with all its might.

Wang Lin was secretly delighted when he saw this.

Just after the Fire Toad Beast chased for a distance, a blue and white light suddenly appeared around it.

A layer of light blue water curtain emerged, covering the surroundings.

Above the water curtain, several white lights flashed by, and several white water dragons appeared and disappeared, as if they were about to jump out at the next moment.

The entire light curtain suddenly became damp and cold. (End of this chapter)
