When Xiong Zhuang arrived, he only saw this scene.

A body embedded in the rock on the cliff is still burning.

There is a pile of bumps on the ground, which can be seen as a human body, not knowing whether to live or die.

The two bodies rolled up in the air were also surrounded by the waves of fire, and seemed to be struggling feebly. If no external force intervened, it would be in vain. The furious fire-maned lion below had already jumped up to tear them apart.

There was another figure who was going crazy in the bushes and woods, but it seemed that he was at the end of his strength and staggered. When Xiong Zhuang arrived, he fell to the ground.

The furious Xiong Zhuang instantly transformed into a giant bear that was five feet tall, roaring and charging towards the fire-maned lion with great agility.

The fire-maned lion also felt the unparalleled momentum of Xiong Zhuang's charge, but the anger caused by being injured and driven mad by his companions also made it long for a fight to vent its anger.

The golden mane is in full bloom, and the flames are slowly floating, like a red sun releasing blazing waves of fire on the body.

When Xiong Zhuang was only twenty steps away from the fire-maned lion, he suddenly jumped up and stamped his feet on the ground. At this time, a ball of black and yellow divine soil was swallowed by Xiong Zhuang.

In an instant, all the mud eight feet deep within five steps rose up and wrapped around Xiong Zhuang's body, turning Xiong Zhuang into a three-foot-tall mud and stone giant and charging forward boldly.

Two huge air waves collided together, centered on the collision point between the lion and the bear, and spread out in all directions.

The rolling flames turned the entire ten feet into a sea of ​​fire, and the exploding mud and rocks roared across the surrounding area like a storm.

The fire-maned lion roared in agony, jumped out thirty steps away, grabbed the seriously injured fire-maned lion that fell to the ground, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Xiong Zhuang, who had turned into a fiery bear, stood in the center of the explosion point, letting the flames burn him.

This is the domineering power of the third-level ferocious beast. Even if he has realized the Purple Mansion, he still has no advantage when facing the opponent directly.

If Chen Huaisheng hadn't specially prepared a set of heart-protecting armor for himself, he would have been unable to stand up after this desperate collision, and the fire poison from the fire-maned lion would have penetrated directly into his internal organs.

This was made by Chen Huaisheng using the remaining scales on the dragon skin and asked by a specialized mage in Yunzhongshan. Special minerals were added to strengthen it. It was used when he was worried about running away from a fourth-level monster. Unexpectedly, it was used against the fire-maned lion.

On the body.

Without that ball of black and yellow divine soil, he would have died the same way.

The black and yellow divine soil is not a sacred object that protects the essence and elixir, nor does it have the effect of increasing spiritual power, but it is an earth-type divine object. When it is absorbed into the abdomen, it automatically combines with the earth-type spells that it activates. When it withstands the impact of the opponent's fire element,

Can play a protective role.

However, there are no side effects. To spit this thing out, you must also cleanse the meridians of your entire body. Otherwise, the earthly divine power that penetrates into the meridians will solidify the marrow of the meridians, and you will gradually turn into a real mud and stone giant.

.

This was also a last resort move when I had an idea, but now it seems that I really used it correctly, otherwise I would have no chance to use it.

Compared with these third-level high-grade ferocious beasts, my strength is still much inferior. This is only a third-order ferocious beast that is close to the fourth-order monsters. I don’t know if I will have a chance to escape when I actually encounter the fourth-order monsters.

?

No wonder Lao Long said that he was still far behind. Without more than ten years of training, he was not worthy of fighting against him.

…

Chen Huaisheng only felt like he was floating in lava mud, ups and downs, ups and downs.

Sometimes he fell into the abyss, and the magma submerged him, and he couldn't breathe. The burning heat that penetrated into the bone marrow continued to penetrate along the nostrils, ears, eye sockets, and throat, and gradually penetrated into every inch of the body, even the entire pores and hair tips.

All are burning.

Occasionally it surfaced, and the burned body seemed to be reborn, frantically feeling the outside atmosphere to allow itself to breathe, but then sank into the magma again.

The cycle begins again and again.

The greatest pain does not come from the body, but from the spiritual roots in the Tao body.

Only when the spiritual root self-destructs and the spiritual energy is released into mana can the fire-maned lion be killed with one strike, otherwise it will die immediately.

This is the price that has to be paid.

Chen Huaisheng had never thought about self-destructing his spiritual roots before the battle. He once thought about exchanging the elixir for gradually exploding. However, when he felt the unparalleled power of the fire-maned lion, he realized that just fearing that the elixir would gradually explode might not be possible.

If we can achieve our goal and completely explode, it is really better to use our spiritual roots to explode ourselves.

After all, he has newly developed his second spiritual root.

Although the new spiritual roots (spiritual vines) are still in a rather weak budding stage, they have already passed through the initial spiritual bud stage and are connected together to become true spiritual roots.

Rather than letting the Yuan Dan self-destruct and spending an uncertain amount of time recovering, it is better to self-destruct the spiritual roots and let the old spiritual roots exert their residual heat to save themselves for once.

Although Chen Huaisheng also hopes to have the new spiritual roots annex and be compatible with the new spiritual roots in order to grow rapidly, but at this time there is not much choice, he would rather self-destruct his spiritual roots to take a chance.

The explosion of the spiritual root caused a huge void to appear in the entire Tao body. The new spiritual root (spiritual vine) was still very weak and could not fill the original spiritual root, let alone bear the role of the original spiritual root. Therefore, at this time, Chen Huaisheng

I fell into this endless ups and downs.

Also affected were the meridians of the entire Tao body.

The energy released by the self-explosion of the spiritual roots is sent out through the meridians, causing the meridians to expand several times in an instant, and no normal meridians can withstand it.

Under normal circumstances, the self-explosion of spiritual essence and spiritual roots will directly destroy the meridians.

Even if the monks who survived by chance wanted to rebuild their cultivation, they actually had to face two major problems: rebuilding the Yuan Dan and rebuilding the meridians.

Du Guo has not been able to recover from the self-destruction and is unable to return to the Zi Mansion. In addition to the unrecovered elixir, the failure of the meridians to fully heal is also an important reason.

Chen Huaisheng is slightly different now.

He once wanted to attack the fifth level of foundation building before the wave of monsters came. Although he knew that this was a bit illusory, he still tried hard with the help of his strong and thick Taoist bones and the help of many spiritual treasures.

, but the wave of monsters came too quickly, making his dream come true.

However, the abundant spiritual treasure nourishment in the early stage still laid a good foundation for his Tao bones and meridians, which was another factor that allowed him to dare to self-destruct with his spiritual roots.

The ferocious impact failed to completely destroy Chen Huaisheng's meridians, but the damage was inevitable.

Subtle breaks in the meridians and cracks in the bones all bloomed at this moment, reflecting on the body, still causing endless pain.

Chen Huaisheng felt like he had experienced this kind of struggle for life before, but it had never been as profound as this time.
