Chapter 618: Lava Seahorse and Fire Shark

让整个砂纹联盟的天元矿减产的罪魁祸首自然上吴青羽本尊。他今晚的目标可是有些特别，这将是他第一次进入圣域星地幔的液态层。所谓液态层就是饱含天元矿溶液和普通高温岩浆的地层，这个地层不仅是高温并且也是整个地幔天元能量最浓郁的地方，如果不出意外的话吴青羽很可能在这里修炼一个月左右就能达到圣王中阶圆满，到时离冲击圣帝可是只有一线之隔。
With the guidance of Jin Xiang, Wu Qingyu uses Tianyuan's Qi Gangzhuang to form a high-temperature resistant shield that fits tightly to the skin surface. Although this will consume a lot of Tianyuan in his body, it can at least resist the fire poison brought by the high temperature of the liquid lava.
From soft soil layer to liquid layer, Wu Qingyu's eyes seem to be swallowed by a fiery red color, and it is difficult for him to bear. If it weren't for him to activate his eye technique, it is estimated that his retinas would not be able to be preserved. After activating the eye technique, Wu Qingyu felt that his eyes were much cooler, and the fiery red color made people feel restless. Wu Qingyu slid inch by inch towards the depths of the liquid layer, and the sticky magma made him feel like he was trapped in a swampy quagmire. It has to be said that his every move consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.
He slid for about a kilometer before conservatively stopping. He needs to replenish the Tianyuan, defensive shield, eye technique, and sliding battle like a bottomless pit greedily sucking in the Tianyuan in the sea of air. Of course, he clearly feels the richness of the liquid layer of Tianyuan, so he sits in the liquid lava with his legs crossed. The Yin and Yang polar Tianyuan pills in the dantian begin to rotate, and the black hole that absorbs Tianyuan opens immediately. It starts to crazily absorb the Tianyuan around it.
This suction is so powerful that it even gives the illusion that the surrounding lava has cooled down by tens of degrees. However, in such a high-temperature environment, even though absorbing the heavenly element can indirectly cause a temporary drop in temperature around Wu Qingyu, the scorching lava quickly replenishes the heat transfer, so there is no real large-area cooling in the true sense.
Coming and going, Wu Qingyu felt that the celestial energy in his body began to be replenished. The consumption was less than the absorption, as long as there was a surplus, he could continue to expand the celestial energy reserves and it would only be a matter of time before he reached the level of a peak holy king.
It is interesting that after Wu Qingyu entered the liquid layer, the deep hole he created in the abyss no longer made a loud noise at the entrance due to the absorption of Tianyuan, because there was no environment with gas presence under the tightly sealed lava. This is enough to allow Wu Qingyu to practice peacefully in this liquid layer.
However, just as he was feeling quite proud of himself, Jin Xiang suddenly reminded him, "Master, there are organisms in this lava!" "Organisms?" No way, this lava is at least several thousand degrees hot, are there really organisms that can survive in such high temperatures? But then Wu Qingyu thought again, this is after all the Holy Domain Star, and even on Earth, microbial cells that can survive in high temperatures have been detected.
Only saw one, two, three... countless groups of creatures similar to giant seahorses swimming in the lava, it seems that they are attracted by Wu Qingyu, this foreigner, estimated to be attracted by the great movement of absorbing Tianyuan. Qingyu carefully observes these strange creatures living in the lava at several thousand degrees with his pupil technique. They seem to not possess any aggressiveness, and their food is only a certain kind of creature in the lava. Naturally, Wu Qingyu is not their dish.
"Magma seahorse!" A creature that existed even earlier than the Holy Domain Star Clan. They are abundant throughout the universe, with a reproductive capacity that can rank among the top ten of trillions of organisms. They are likely the ancestors of the seahorses found in Earth's oceans, or a variant of their ancestors. Curiously, Wu Qingyu reached out and scooped up a magma seahorse, carefully observing it in his hand. The creature seemed frightened and didn't dare move in Wu Qingyu's palm, stiffening its body as if playing dead. This magma seahorse has a layer of very thick armor, its tail coiling into circles as usual, and its prominent eyes darting anxiously. It is pitiful and cute, with no aggressive behavior. Wu Qingyu even felt the urge to catch a few and keep them as pets back on Earth."
However, this creature lives in an environment of thousands of degrees of molten lava. Without special equipment, it is really not safe to keep it at home. The lava seahorse probably can't survive long if it leaves its established high-temperature environment! Just as Wu Qingyu was thinking selfishly, a big mouth suddenly opened, and tens of millions of lava seahorses were startled and scattered. Unfortunately, some of them fell into this big mouth! "Fire Shark!" Jin Xiang exclaimed in horror. "Master, quickly get away!"
Without waiting for Jin Xiang's reminder, Wu Qingyu had already retreated more than ten meters. This creature has four limbs and is the size of a small car. Its head is pointed, with two rows of sharp, fiery red teeth exposed in its lower jaw. These teeth even appear red and black. It also has a very long, slender tail that is seven or eight meters long and sways like a whip.
The creature called the Fire Shark certainly doesn't survive by eating microorganisms in the molten lava. It is definitely a top predator in the food chain of the mantle liquid layer. This sudden and aggressive bite is filled with dominance and bloodiness, although there is no blood seen flowing from the lava seahorses. However, this greatly disrupted Wu Qingyu's mood, and naturally he had some concerns in his heart, so he asked, "Jinxiang, according to your analysis, am I a match for the Fire Shark?"
“额，如果掌握好边吸收天元边消耗的技巧，在这液态层种杀掉一中火鲨凶兽问题不大。”金翔喃喃的答到。“那就试试！”吴青羽也不废话，挥拳就朝火鲨的尖尖头颅砸去。
Fire sharks are never idle. Their heads are busy dodging, and although their limbs are very short and somewhat similar to crocodile claws, it does not hinder their quick movement. In addition, the twisting of their bodies propels their tails behind them, which whipped towards Wu Qingyu. Wu Qingyu was on the verge of landing a punch, but cautiously withdrew his fist to dodge the fire shark's whip-like tail.
"Huh" The fluctuation of lava caused by the tail whip of the fire shark actually produced a sound. Just imagine, if it didn't have tremendous power, how could this fire shark emit attacks with such "qi"? One unsuccessful move made the fire shark calm down instead. If we talk about the liquid layer, it is the territory of this fire shark. Do these tiny humans still want to attack it here? Simply delusional!
The fire shark, possessing some level of intelligence, stared into Wu Qingyu's eyes, preparing for its next lethal strike. Wu Qingyu knew that this creature was not easy to deal with, so he took a few steps back to increase the distance between them. The fire shark would not easily spare him; it was definitely going to be a fight to the death.
