Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 565 Fire Guardian Demon!

"good……"

Gu Yuan felt relieved. According to the information given by the Golden Sand Ancestor, the seemingly quiet underground sea of ​​magma and fire actually harbored many creatures.

Among them are some fire demons and monsters, some fire spirits, and even some evil spirits, such as fire demons and two-headed poisonous fire dragons.

Especially the latter two; the former, those with ordinary strength are evil beings at the Yang God level, while the powerful ones are even existences at the Yuan Shen True Immortal level.

The latter is equally impressive.

Therefore, it would be better for him to be cautious.

Gu Yuan entered this sea of ​​lava and fire not to hunt fire demons or fire spirits, but to obtain the Five Elements Immortal Iron.

Next, Gu Yuan began searching along the map given to him by the Golden Sand Ancestor.

Although there are maps, things can change frequently on the land outside, let alone in this lava sea of ​​fire.

Although there are some hard-to-melt rocks and "reefs" in the lava sea that can be used to pinpoint locations, it is still very difficult.

However, Gu Yuan didn't mind, and since he had plenty of time, he would just take his time looking.

However, after realizing that the Taiyi Golden Bell was consuming too much energy, Gu Yuan simply activated the Nine Dragon Furnace again.

This is a pure fire-attribute magic weapon, and of quite high quality. It's perfect for use in this kind of place, saving a lot of effort.

After all, although Gu Yuan's physique had been completely transformed and he could refine the fire-attribute spiritual energy of the outside world, the process was still somewhat slow.

With the Nine Dragon Furnace protecting him, Gu Yuan didn't need to worry about its consumption, as it could draw upon the surrounding fire elemental energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself.

In this way, Gu Yuan's efforts were naturally saved.

Gu Yuan extended his divine sense, scanning the surroundings for any trace of the Five Elements Immortal Iron while also keeping an eye on the surrounding situation so he could react promptly if danger arose.

Not long after, as Gu Yuan passed a huge reef that resembled a small mountain, a fireball the size of a fist flew rapidly from the reef and landed directly on the protective shield covering Gu Yuan's body.

boom!
As the fireball exploded, the protective shield rippled outwards, like pebbles falling into still water, dissipating all its power.

"Ok?"

Gu Yuan turned his gaze and looked in the direction from which the fireball had come.

Then they discovered that a monster resembling a gecko was clinging to the stone wall.

This monster was dark red all over, and its body surface was covered with uneven bumps, densely packed, which looked rather unsettling.

Even these bumps were emitting wisps of white smoke.

On its head grows a single, dark red, shiny horn.

The palace-guarding demon didn't look very big, its body was only a little over five feet long, but the aura emanating from this strange thing was unexpectedly strong!

You have to understand, the temperature on that stone wall is extremely high. At least the air around it is distorted and deformed by it. If a piece of black iron were to fall on it, it would probably melt into molten iron after only half an hour. But this thing is clinging to it, its limbs tightly attached, not moving at all. It's really absurd.

However, this may be a case of one thing subduing another.

After all, it's a native monster, so it's probably already adapted to the harsh environment here.

The fireball just now was launched by this thing, clearly treating Gu Yuan as an intruder. Now, seeing that Gu Yuan has stopped and remains unmoved, the Fire Guardian adjusted its posture.

Then it gathered its demonic power and unleashed its innate divine ability. In an instant, the surrounding firelight and heat surged in rapidly, rushing towards it and quickly converging on its single horn, transforming into an even brighter fireball.

Then, the dark red fireball, which even faintly emitted a golden light, was poised to be launched and aimed at Gu Yuan.

Even with Gu Yuan's current cultivation level, he still felt a faint sense of danger.

"Wow... this flame is really something else... no wonder it's a monster that grows in this sea of ​​fire."

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised. If it were an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, they would probably be panicking by now.

However, for him, it was a minor issue.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Yuan conjured a sharp, fine needle from the water element, slicing through the air and leaving a long white line before landing precisely on a spot in the fireball.

puff! ! !
With a muffled sound, the fireball began to deflate and shrink rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

Before long, it burst open, making a noise not much louder than a fart.

then……

Gu Yuan flicked his finger again, and another sword light landed on the head of the fire-guarding demon.

With a soft "whoosh," the sword pierced straight through his head, and the sword light even transformed into a thread, wrapping around him.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Yuan grabbed the corpse of the Fire Guardian Demon and casually tossed it into his storage bag.

This rather ferocious fire demon died at Gu Yuan's hands.

Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously and was about to continue wandering around when suddenly his gaze sharpened and fell on a hidden corner of a rock not far away.

At that moment, Gu Yuan smelled a faint fragrance.

Even in this extremely harsh environment of the fiery inferno, and even with several layers of protection on his body, the faint fragrance was still clearly visible and could be smelled by Gu Yuan, who could tell that it was coming from there.

Gu Yuan, being such a person, immediately concluded that the fragrance must have come from some kind of spiritual medicine.

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't miss it.

He arrived at that corner and, sure enough, found a lingzhi mushroom hidden there. It was about the size of a palm, bright red in color, with a golden edge around its perimeter.

"This is... a ley line fire spirit mushroom?"

Gu Yuan immediately recognized the item. The Earth Vein Fire Spirit Mushroom is a rare fire-attribute spiritual herb. Generally speaking, it only grows in places with abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy, and its growth conditions are extremely demanding.

This item is very beneficial to cultivators who practice fire-attribute supernatural abilities. Even if they refine it directly, there will be few side effects. Using it to refine spiritual pills will further help improve their cultivation and even break through bottlenecks.

Of course, it has to be one that is over three thousand years old.

However, the growth characteristics of this type of Ganoderma lucidum are quite special, which makes this type of earth vein fire Ganoderma lucidum rare.

When they are first born, these earth vein fire spirit mushrooms often grow to the size of a millstone and emit a rich fragrance, attracting many demons to eat them.

If it is fortunate enough to avoid being eaten by demons, the Earth Vein Fire Spirit Mushroom will begin to grow, but instead of growing bigger, it will grow smaller.

Generally speaking, this kind of earth vein fire Ganoderma lucidum often grows slowly, taking hundreds or even thousands of years to shrink by one size.

After that, it will continue to shrink every seven or eight hundred years.
