Chapter 1192

All the way was safe and sound. After leaving the plain, Yang Kai walked forward for another ten days or so, and surprisingly, he didn’t encounter a single person again.

This phenomenon was very abnormal, which made him extremely suspicious.

Previously, whether in the Hot Flame Region or the Natural Treasure Region, although not many people were encountered, at least such a situation would not occur. It was as if all the martial artists searching for spirit herbs and elixirs in the Natural Treasure Region had disappeared all of a sudden. This made Yang Kai’s heart suddenly filled with a sense of warning, and he didn’t know if there was any change in this place.

He secretly thought, could it be that during the days when he was mining Saint Crystals underground, something major happened here, so there was not a single person in sight？

Continuing to move forward for a few days, and being close to the third level of the heat zone, the situation was still the same.

Half a day later, Yang Kai arrived at the edge of the third layer of the Hot Flame Region, looking intently at the fiery red world in front with a solemn expression.

The third layer of the Hot Flame Region didn’t look much different from the outermost Hot Flame Region, but Yang Kai could sense that there were many hidden dangers inside. At the very least, the fire poison and the power of heat here were not comparable to those in the outermost region.

However… it didn’t seem to be to the extent that Qian Tong said no one could enter？ After sensing for a while, Yang Kai felt that such a region, not to mention that he could enter, even some elites from other sects, as long as they made sufficient preparations, should also be able to enter.

Could the danger be more than just what was seen on the surface？

Just as Yang Kai was pondering, two figures suddenly appeared galloping towards him. The two people were wearing the same uniform, and it seemed that they should come from the same sect. They both had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint King Realm.

Yang Kai noticed that the Saint Yuan on their bodies was extremely abundant and pure, far beyond what an ordinary Third-Order Saint King could compare to. Presumably, they were elite members of some sect.

The two of them, one after the other, were extremely fast and actually rushed straight towards this side, not even looking at Yang Kai.

When they came to the edge of the third-layer Hot Flame Region, the two of them whispered and discussed something. Then, the leading one had a faint blue light rising on his body. A cold air enveloped him, as if he had activated some ice-type secret treasure to protect his whole body, and then plunged headfirst into the third-layer Hot Flame Region.

Yang Kai was dumbfounded！

Didn’t it mean that the third layer was a place where there was no return? Was this guy crazy or stupid? Why did he just rush in directly?

Wei Guchang wouldn’t deceive him. Yang Kai was still sure of this. He had clearly and seriously warned Yang Kai, but the scene in front of him was completely different from Wei Guchang’s warning.

Seeing that the second person also had a cold aura rising on his body and was about to enter the Hot Flame Region, Yang Kai quickly shouted： “Wait a moment, friend！”

Upon hearing the shout, that person frowned and looked at Yang Kai with an unhappy expression.

When he and his fellow disciple came here, they were not unaware of Yang Kai’s existence, but a martial artist at the First-Order Saint King realm like the other party simply wasn’t worthy of his attention.

But now, this person actually opened his mouth and stopped him, and immediately said coldly： “What’s the matter？”

Yang Kai cupped his fists at him, also aware that the other person was in a bad mood, so he could only put on a smiling face and ask, “Friend, don’t be offended. I’m just very curious. Didn’t they say that the third-layer Blazing Heat Area is extremely dangerous and those who enter will never return？ Why do you and your fellow disciples still want to enter it？”

“Never return？” The man sneered upon hearing this and looked at Yang Kai with a slanted gaze, saying, “That’s old news. Indeed, it was like that when the Flowing Flame Sand Field was opened before, but this time it seems a bit different. I don’t know the specific situation either. Anyway, the third-layer Blazing Heat Area can be entered now. Of course, with your cultivation level, it’s better not to seek death！”

Saying this, he rushed into the Blazing Heat Area with a look of impatience, no longer bothering to waste words with Yang Kai.

After he left, Yang Kai stood there with a strange expression on his face.

The third layer of the Flowing Flame Sand Field can actually be entered now？ But listening to that person’s words, it seems he doesn’t know the reason either. He just entered it along with others.

No wonder there aren’t many people seen in the Natural Treasures Area. It turns out that many people have gone to the third layer.

How this news was spread and how it was confirmed, Yang Kai doesn’t know. But there are as many as two or three thousand martial artists who entered the second layer, all of them are the elites of their respective sects. It’s not surprising to discover this.

Since the Flowing Flame Sand Field was opened, the third layer has always been no one shows any interest and no one can enter. It’s hard to imagine how many benefits are waiting for others to develop inside.

Tracing back the history of the existence of the Flowing Flame Sand Field, it has been as long as tens of thousands of years. In a place that no one has set foot in for tens of thousands of years, how could there be few good things？

No wonder these guys are all scrambling to get in as if they don’t care about their lives. Even if there is a little risk, as long as they can obtain enough benefits, what does it matter？

Interests have always coexisted with risks. Warriors have never been afraid of taking risks when they practice. The more dangerous the place, the more it can stimulate their nerves.

Since others have already gone in, Yang Kai didn’t delay any longer. He immediately circulated his Saint Yuan and set foot in the third-layer Hot Flame Area.

The ubiquitous heat waves wrapped around him from all directions. In an instant, Yang Kai felt that his whole body’s skin was being roasted extremely painfully, and the fire poison contained in these heat waves was far from what the outermost Hot Flame Area could compare. The toxicity and power of the fire poison had increased by several times.

In such a dangerous place, it is estimated that no one can enter it except those well-prepared and powerful third-level martial artists of the Holy King.

Even if there are second-layer warriors who come in, they won’t be able to stay for a few days. At that time, they must go out. In this kind of hellish place, the consumption is too great. If they can’t operate to supplement Saint Yuan and can only rely on Saint Crystals it will definitely be a losing proposition.

There were three or four thousand people who entered the second layer of the area of natural treasures, but Yang Kai estimated that the number of those who could enter the third layer should be less than five hundred. And as time went by, this number would only get smaller and smaller. Some of those people would die inside, and some would withdraw from the third layer. Only the most elite part of them could stay here all the time.

The heat here made Yang Kai very excited. Although such heat still couldn’t meet his requirement for refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, as long as he went deeper inside, he could naturally find a suitable place.

The situation in the third layer of the Hot Flame Area was indeed much more dangerous than that in the first layer. The fire spirit beasts that emerged from the ground fissures and gullies to launch surprise attacks, there was simply no existence of the fifth or sixth rank. They were all of the seventh or eighth rank, and they were in groups. It was very rare to encounter a single fire spirit beast.

In such a place, if one didn’t travel in a group, once they were surprised and besieged by a group of fire spirit beasts, the outcome would surely be very tragic.

Yang Kai had walked for less than a day and had already encountered the harassment of three groups of fire spirit beasts. He killed all the first two groups and gained a lot of fire spirit stones. But the number of the third group was really too large, so Yang Kai could only temporarily avoid their sharpness.

In that strange valley in the first layer of the Hot Flame Area, he could fight against ten thousand with one and carry out a massacre. That was because the ranks of the fire spirit beasts in the valley were not high. Most of them were of the fifth or sixth rank and could be easily killed in groups.

But it was not possible here. Fighting against those fire spirit beasts would only consume strength in vain, so Yang Kai sensibly avoided them.

At this moment, Yang Kai is stopped at a certain place on the third layer, his gaze looking forward.

Not far in front, lie two incomplete corpses, and the corpses are also roasted charred, It gives off with a faint stench of decay.

These are a man and a woman. Judging from their clothing, they should be elite disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace. Those who can penetrate here must be following Wei Guchang’s side, so Yang Kai estimates that he has seen them before.

At that time, when waiting for the opening of the Flowing Flame Sand Field, there were several people queuing up behind Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er, and these two people were probably two of them.

Now they have died here, and are looking at their appearance Wei Guchang didn’t even have the time to collect their corpses for them. The situation at that time must have been very dangerous and critical.

Could something have happened to him and Dong Xuan’er? Yang Kai frowned and took out the communication compass that Wei Guchang gave him before from the Space Ring and inject divine sense into it, wanting to get in touch with Wei Guchang or Dong Xuan’er.

But after infusing divine sense into it and waiting for a long time Yang Kai still didn’t receive any reply. He didn’t know if they were too far away from him, or because they didn’t have time to check the communication compass, or because they put the compass in the ring.

Shaking his head, Yang Kai flicked out two clusters of Demon Flames, burned the corpses of those two Shadow Moon Palace disciples, and continued to penetrate deeper.

He hadn’t said a single word to these two Shadow Moon Palace disciples. Out of respect for Qian Tong and Wei Guchang, not leaving their corpses exposed in the wild to rot and stink was already the utmost benevolence and righteousness. He didn’t have the mind to find a place to bury them anymore.

The third layer is very dangerous, but there are indeed a lot of good things.

Yang Kai quickly harvested more than a dozen rare fire-attribute spiritual grasses and elixirs. Each of these spiritual grasses and elixirs had a full year of growth and could not be compared with those collected in the second layer at all.

Judging from the degree of condensation of their medicinal effects, the youngest one had already reached a medicinal age of three thousand years, and the oldest one, even Yang Kai couldn’t infer its age. At least it was a ten-thousand-year-old elixir.

The grade was not low either. They were all middle and upper-grade virtual-level medicinal materials, and two of them were even virtual king-level.

A virtual-level medicinal material with a ten-thousand-year-old age was already not lower in value than a virtual king-level one. These medicinal materials were of great use to Yang Kai and were good things that couldn’t be bought outside. Using them to make medicine could refine the best-quality pills and even had a chance to improve the grade of the pills.

How many layers there are in the Flowing Flame Sand Field, Yang Kai doesn’t know, but at least it can be confirmed now that there are three layers of space.

The deeper you go in, the smaller the space for warriors to move around and the easier it is to meet. Yang Kai knows his own situation. As a Saint King Layer 1, it is already surprising enough that he can enter the second layer. If people find out that he can move freely in the third layer, I’m afraid it will be earth-shattering.

So ever since entering the third layer, he had been trying his best to avoid others. Once he detected the aura of strangers in his spiritual sense, he would immediately flee far away.

In this way, it had been peaceful all along.

Killing fire spirit beasts, gathering spiritual grasses and spiritual medicines, and with the anticipation of refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, Yang Kai was in a very good mood.
