Chapter 1222
bySoon, Yang Kai came to her. After this period of breathing and adjustment, Dai Yuan’s spirit was also much better. When Yang Kai walked over, she happened to open her eyes as well. Obviously, she had some kind of induction. However, she showed a hesitant look, which made Yang Kai very curious.
“Junior Brother Yang, my recovery pills have been used up. Do you have any extras？ I can pay with Saint Crystals to buy them.” When Dai Yuan spoke, the expression in her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
Yang Kai didn’t notice this point. Although he was curious in his heart that this woman had actually used up all the recovery pills, but then he thought about it, the other party might not have expected that she could enter the third layer. It was reasonable that the pills she brought were consumed more violently.
So he didn’t suspect anything. Immediately, he took out a bottle of pills from his Space Ring and threw it over, smiling slightly and saying, “There’s no need for Saint Crystals. This mere bottle of pills is not worth much.”
Dai Yuan caught it, a hint of gratitude showing on her face. She nodded and said, “Then Dai Yuan thanks Younger Brother Yang.”
“En, let’s continue on our way.” Yang Kai said and took the lead to walk ahead.
After Yang Kai left, Dai Yuan quickly opened the bottle of pills. Her gaze swept inside. When she saw clearly the appearance of the pills inside, her delicate body couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and a wild joy showed on her face.
When she raised her head again to gaze at Yang Kai’s back, there was actually a bit of excitement and fanaticism flashing in her beautiful eyes. Then she silently put away the pills and quickly followed.
The Third Layer’s Hot Flame Area was indeed countless times more dangerous than the First Layer. Although the environments of the two were similar, the various hidden dangers within them were not to be mentioned in the same breath.
When Yang Kai was walking in the First Layer, except for encountering a large number of Fire Spirit Beasts besieging in that strange valley and spending a little effort to resolve it, it was basically like taking a leisurely walk in the courtyard. He barged into the Second Layer without any burden all the way, and didn’t even need to activate his protective Saint Yuan.
But in the third layer, Yang Kai had to constantly circulate his Saint Yuan to protect his body from the heat waves and fire toxins. Not only that, the Fire Spirit Beasts here were also not low in level, all being Seventh-Order and Eighth-Order existences. And aside from these Fire Spirit Beasts that would rush out from the underground fissures, there were also all kinds of strange restrictions.
The Fire Spirit Beasts couldn’t pose too much of a threat to Yang Kai and Dai Yuan. As long as the number wasn’t too large, the two of them could join forces to kill them all and harvest some Fire Crystal Stones.
But ever since witnessing the ancient restriction that Wei Guchang and the others had fallen into, Yang Kai had become more vigilant towards some seemingly dangerous places and didn’t dare to barge in easily. Once he discovered such a place, he would avoid it if possible. If he really couldn’t avoid it, he would secretly use the World-Destroying Demon Eye to see if there was any risk.
All the way through, Yang Kai’s heart was pounding with fright.
If it wasn’t for his World-Destroying Demon Eye, a natural divine ability that could see through illusions, he and Dai Yuan would have at least fallen into five restrictions in these few days. Those restrictions were extremely hidden and simply not something that Saint King Realm martial artists could detect. Once those restrictions were triggered, Yang Kai estimated that his own fate wouldn’t be any better.
Because Yang Kai was using the World-Destroying Demon Eye secretly and leading Dai Yuan through those dangerous places, this woman from the Colored Glass Sect didn’t notice anything at all. She just secretly wondered in her heart, feeling that the third layer of the Hot Flame Region seemed a bit overrated.
She simply didn’t understand the crisis within and was extremely relaxed following behind Yang Kai.
However, although the World-Destroying Demon Eye was the innate supernatural power of the Great Demon God, after all, Yang Kai obtained it later and refined it for use, so it wasn’t omnipotent either.
The two of them finally fell into a restriction that even Yang Kai didn’t notice. Once that restriction was triggered, the surrounding environment changed leisurely. The originally extremely hot and fiery area suddenly became bitterly cold with the wind, and gusts of howling wind like the wailing of ghosts and wolves blew past beside them. And even large snowflakes like goose feathers drifted down from the sky.
The environment suddenly became completely opposite to before.
One after another, strangely formed ice cones attacked from all directions. There were also wind dragons formed by gusts of wind all around, spitting out the extremely cold air that could freeze the whole body from their mouths, hiding the extremely cold Qi within the wind blades, and it was quite tricky to deal with.
Fortunately, since both Yang Kai and Dai Yuan were alchemists, one originally cultivated the Yang-attribute cultivation method, and the other cultivated the Fire-attribute cultivation method, so the Saint Yuan in their bodies was very effective in restraining the restriction here.
But it still took them two or three days of hard work to forcefully break this restriction and escape from it.
During this process, Dai Yuan was even injured. If it weren’t for Yang Kai saving her at a critical moment, her injury would definitely be much more serious. Being injured in such a place, unable to advance or retreat, was basically no different from waiting for death.
After this incident, Dai Yuan didn’t dare to underestimate the mystery and danger of the third layer anymore and carefully followed behind Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was also injured, but compared with his recovery ability, those injuries were really not worth mentioning. After coming out of this restriction, Yang Kai immediately took Dai Yuan to find a mountain wall and opened up a cave in the mountain wall. The two of them were in the cave, like injured wild beasts, silently licking their wounds.
It was not until three days later that Dai Yuan’s injuries healed and the two continued on their way.
The various means and combat power that Yang Kai displayed finally made Dai Yuan understand that this Saint King 1-layer Realm was indeed very different from those she had seen before. His true combat power was not inferior to her at all. The various means he showed were already beyond her ability to resist, let alone those that had not been shown yet？
No wonder Wei Guchang, such a proud person, would be so polite to him. I’m afraid that guy had already known Yang Kai’s extraordinariness.
Along the way, they could also occasionally encounter a few extremely rare and fully-aged fire-attribute spiritual herbs and medicines.
Whenever this happened, Dai Yuan would take the initiative to ask to pick these spiritual herbs and medicines in an extremely proper way and then preserve them with the most suitable things.
For some reason, Yang Kai noticed that this woman seemed very interested in these herbs. Every time she picked them, she would chatter non-stop about them, from the medicinal properties and effects to the formula configuration, the techniques of condensing the medicinal liquid, and the use of the spiritual array when refining pills, as if she knew everything and didn’t avoid anything, completely different from her usual taciturnity.
And at this time, Yang Kai would always remain silent and just listen quietly.
Ordinarily, he would really be interested in discussing alchemy-related matters with Dai Yuan. He could tell that this woman was quite skilled in the way of alchemy. Although her alchemist level was not as high as his, there was no harm in communicating with her.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he was preoccupied with refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water and really had no mood to talk about these things, so he could only miss the opportunity to communicate with this woman about the art of alchemy.
Yang Kai’s silence made Dai Yuan feel a little disappointed in her heart. She thought to herself, could it be that things were not as she thought？ Otherwise, why would Yang Kai not say a word about these spiritual herbs and elixirs, and not even show any sign of excitement？
She even deliberately said some wrong information about these herbs, but Yang Kai didn’t mean to correct it, which made her feel a little lost.
Naturally, Dai Yuan wouldn’t monopolize the picked spirit herbs and medicines. Moreover, she had a good sense of self-awareness. She knew that without Yang Kai, she simply couldn’t have remained safe all the way. So when distributing the herbs, she took the initiative to keep a small portion for herself and gave the vast majority to Yang Kai.
Regarding this, Yang Kai didn’t refuse either. He didn’t have much deep friendship with Dai Yuan. They just cooperated to enter the third layer along the way. Naturally, he accepted the benefits that were presented to him with a clear conscience.
The two of them advanced deeper into the third layer for about ten days. By this time, Dai Yuan already seemed to be having great difficulty walking.
The thick heat all around was like someone unleashing a fire-attribute attack, constantly bombarding her delicate body. Even with the protection of the treasure armor and even sacrificing the Li Cai Pa to turn it into a pink curtain to wrap her whole body Dai Yuan was still sweating profusely all over her body. Her clothes were tightly attached to her body, perfectly outlining her exquisite and delicate figure.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Li Cai Pa blocked her figure, I’m afraid her spring scenery would have already leaked out by now. Fortunately, there were only the two of them, her and Yang Kai, here. Moreover, Yang Kai was walking in front and didn’t have the intention to turn back.
Almost every step forward she took, she had to consume a huge amount of strength. Her delicate body was trembling slightly, and there was faintly a layer of faint black qi lingering around her.
That was the unique fire poison in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. Dai Yuan couldn’t completely resist these fire poisons and had already been invaded a little. If she continued to go deeper, I’m afraid the situation would be even worse.
Arriving here, Dai Yuan had already given birth to the idea of retreating and secretly regretted not should have come this deep.
But she also had a hard time speaking out. She and Yang Kai had been deep in the third layer for more than ten days. At this moment, if they wanted to retreat, they didn’t know if they could safely return. The current situation made her feel rather hard to get off the tiger.
She could only hold on firmly, not saying a word, and follow Yang Kai behind with a thick skin.
Although Yang Kai wasn’t as difficult as her, he wasn’t feeling very well at the moment either. His whole body’s skin hurt as if it was being burned by fire. The heat waves and fire poisons were squeezing in from all directions, making people couldn’t help but have a feeling of being smashed to pieces.
If it wasn’t for the huge amount of Saint Yuan stored in his body, he would also have to quickly find a place to recover.
Although the person had been walking in front, Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts were always paying attention to the movement of Dai Yuan. Naturally, the appearance of this woman’s difficult progress couldn’t escape his perception. Yang Kai didn’t rush to take action to help her.
The environment here was extremely harsh, but walking and persisting in this harsh environment could temper the purity and solidity of one’s own Saint Yuan, which was of great benefit to martial artists.
Helping her resist the heat and fire poison was just a piece of cake, but if she lost such a chance to become stronger because of this, it would be a bit of a loss.
Progressing little by little, the speed of the two of them was simply as slow as a turtle’s crawl compared to a few days ago. The deeper they went, the harsher the environment became.
Some excitement gradually emerged in Yang Kai’s eyes because he needed this kind of hot environment. Naturally, he wished the place could be even harsher.
He was secretly calculating in his heart that if according to the observations of these days and the changes in the environment as they went deeper, probably only by walking forward for another five days, he should be able to reach a suitable position. At that time, he could start refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water.
However, what to do with the woman following behind was a troublesome matter.
