Fighting with fire shadow

The Tianshan Blood Pool on the Tianmu Mountains is a famous existence even if you look at the entire northern region of Zhongzhou.

It is said that every three years, a strange energy tide of heaven and earth will appear on a crater on the top of the Tianmu Mountains.

After this energy tide of heaven and earth passes, the Tianshan Pool in the crater will be filled with an extremely strange red liquid, also known as the Tianmu Blood Pool.

The strange energy contained in the Tianmu Blood Pool has a miraculous effect on the strong men at the peak of the Dou Emperor breaking through the Douzong. Even if a strong Douzong enters it, it can have the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the bones, improving the strength.

It is precisely because of this that whenever the three-year period comes, many powerful people who come here will gather in the Tianmu Mountains to compete for the place to enter the Tianmu Blood Pool.

The reason why Ximen Cheng chose to go to Huagu City was because the Tianmu Mountains were near Huagu City and was also the largest human city nearby.

Ximen Cheng was going to rest in Huagu City and buy some daily necessities before heading to the Tianmu Mountains.

Although it has only been more than a year since the last time the Tianmu Blood Pool appeared, Ximen Cheng knew that every time the Tianmu Blood Pool appeared, a small amount of energy would be deposited at the bottom of the volcano, which is where the strange energy is most concentrated. .

It's just that the energy deposited at the bottom of the volcano is also mixed with very terrifying fire poison. Even if a strong Douzong leader rashly absorbs the energy there, he will face the threat of death from the fire poison corroding into his bones.

Of course!For Ximen Cheng, who possesses strange fire, the mere fire poison is nothing?The strange energy contained in the Tianmu Blood Pool will only become the nourishment for him to improve his cultivation.

A few days later, Ximen Cheng, who rested for a night in the Bone City, purchased a detailed map of the Tianmu Mountains and entered the Tianmu Mountains early in the morning.

The Tianmu Mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, covering an area far larger than the Warcraft Mountains of the Gama Empire. Many powerful Warcraft also live in the mountains.

Among them, the most powerful warcraft race is the gold-devouring rat race living in the central area of ​​the mountain range.

The Gold-Eating Rat itself is not a particularly powerful monster. Most Gold-Eating Rats are equivalent to second- and third-level Magical Beasts when they reach adulthood.

However, the number of gold-eating rats in the Tianmu Mountains is extremely large. Among the millions of gold-eating rats, there will occasionally be a few geniuses with extremely high cultivation talents. The strongest gold-eating rats have a cultivation level comparable to Dou A strong man.

Back then, because of the Tianshan Blood Pool incident, the human forces in the northern region of Zhongzhou fought a war with the Gold-Eating Rat Clan. The final result was that the Gold-Eating Rat Clan was completely defeated.

There are even many strong human beings who want to take advantage of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan's defeat to wipe out the entire Gold-Eating Rat Clan.

It's just that the rat monsters are best at digging holes to save their lives. They have dug countless underground passages under the Tianmu Mountains. It is simply impossible to exterminate these gold-eating rats.

And if these gold-devouring rats are forced into a hurry, I am afraid they will choose to destroy the Tianmu Blood Pool directly, and no one will be able to live well by then.

Therefore, after the defeat of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan, the strong humans and the Gold-Eating Rat Clan reached an agreement, which was to give up eight of the ten places each time the Tianmu Blood Pool appeared, and the Gold-Eating Rat Clan could exclusively occupy it. Two places.

"Roar!!!"

In a valley outside the Tianmu Mountains, a deafening tiger roar suddenly sounded. A fifth-level frost giant with a body length of more than five meters and blue and white fur flew towards Ximen Cheng with its bloody mouth open.

"Buzzing..."

Ximen Cheng raised his right hand and waved, and a cloud of gold and silver insects suddenly appeared out of thin air, and all of them got into the giant frost tiger's bloody mouth.

"Kachi kachi kachi..."

Accompanied by a biting gnawing sound, the giant frost tiger's huge body began to shrink and shrivel rapidly like a deflated rubber ball.

In just a few breaths, all that was left of this fifth-level frost giant tiger was a piece of blue-white tiger skin, hundreds of bones covered with fine tooth marks, and a fifth-level ice attribute magic core.

As Ximen Cheng's own strength continues to grow, his control over these gold-eating insects has become stronger.

Although the gold-eating insects would obey his orders at first, every time they started to devour the flesh and blood of Warcraft, they would be driven by instinct to devour everything, including precious Warcraft materials.

But now when Ximen Cheng controls these gold-devouring insects to devour monsters, they have been able to restrain the instinct of crazy devouring to a certain extent, and will keep the monster materials such as fur and bones, but save them. It showed his skill in handling the corpse of the monster.

Ximen Cheng skillfully put away the precious materials left by the giant frost tiger, and after enslaving its soul, he murmured to himself: "But having said that, the quality of the monsters here is really high, I have only been in for less than half a year. When I was young, I already hunted the third level five monster."

In the Warcraft Mountains of the Jiama Empire, although the number of fifth-level monsters is not as rare as the sixth-order monsters, they are not too many. There are only a few dozen in total, which is completely incomparable with the Tianmu Mountains.

For Ximen Cheng, a place like the Tianmu Mountains where there are many monsters is a good place to breed gold-eating insects. There is no need to worry about insufficient food.

If these gold-eating insects can evolve into mature bodies, it will be difficult for even the strong Douzong warriors to break through their defenses, and only then will they be able to exert their true power.

Originally, Ximen Cheng only planned to sneak into the Tianmu Blood Pool, steal the strange energy accumulated over the years, and then leave the Tianmu Mountains.

But now it seems that Ximen Cheng does not need to rush to leave the Tianmu Mountains. After stealing those strange energies, he can level up in the Tianmu Mountains with the gold-eating insects, and he can also earn some rewards. gold.

After Ximen Cheng made a decision in his heart, he immediately accelerated his pace towards the Tianmu Blood Pool.

Perhaps because there is still more than a year before the Tianmu Blood Pool is opened, the defense inside the Tianmu Mountains is not too strict.

Although Ximen Cheng also found many traces of gold-eating rats on the way to Tianmu Blood Pool, the level of these gold-eating rats was not too high, and the highest gold-eating rat was only fifth level.

It is normal for such a situation to occur, because there are not many people who know about the strange energy accumulated at the bottom of the Tianmu Blood Pool, only a few high-ranking members of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan, so they will not be on guard against anyone coming to steal it. These strange energies.
