Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Molten flames poured down from the sky and covered the earth, and Tang Ning's figure remained motionless.

At the moment when the molten flames swallowed him up, a ray of light soared into the sky, splitting the sky full of molten flames into two. After passing through the blood-colored net, he caught up with the figure in front of him in just one flash, but it was a body. A huge red lizard.

I saw it had two heads and six eyes, a very strong tail, and a pair of red eyes as big as copper bells. It was the Fire Rock Lizard.

This fire rock lizard was five to six feet long, and the aura emitted from it had reached the third-level low-level level. When Tang Ning was walking slowly, her consciousness noticed it, so she stopped.

Seeing him chasing after him, the Fire Rock Lizard suddenly opened its mouth and its whole body expanded rapidly, becoming more than two or three times larger.

There was a loud bang, and the Fire Rock Lizard exploded violently. A large amount of black blood spurted out, rushing towards him like a river.

When the black blood stained his body, the spiritual shield around him instantly became extremely unstable, and then quickly melted.

Seeing this, Tang Ning waved her hand and huge spiritual power shot out. The black blood in front of him was attacked by the spiritual power and scattered on the ground. However, there was still a small amount of blood splashing on him.

I saw that wherever the blood was stained, the flesh and blood melted rapidly.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. This fire rock lizard knew it was outmatched, so it ended its life by self-destructing. It was very decisive and cruel.

He originally wanted to see how capable this third-level low-grade fire rock lizard was, so he didn't rush to take action. Unexpectedly, he blew himself up so decisively, leaving not even the magic crystal behind.

The green spiritual power in his body was circulating, and the shriveled flesh and blood around him quickly returned to its original state.

Tang Ning took out a thin book in her hand and wrote quickly.

The third-level low-grade fire rock lizard is about five feet long, with a red body, two heads and six eyes. It will explode when it is in danger. The black blood sprayed has a strong restraint effect on spiritual power, and is also very corrosive to human flesh and blood. effect.

In the Guanghua Sect's previous data, there has never been a third-order fire lizard, and there is no record of self-destruction with these characteristics.

I don't know if this third-level fire rock lizard has been newly advanced in recent years, or if another batch of powerful monsters have been transported through the space channel from another world.

Tang Ning put away the book and jumped into the air. Not long after, he locked onto another fire rock lizard and rushed towards the monster through the light.

In less than an hour, he had killed five Fire Rock Lizards. Except for the first Fire Rock Lizard, which was a third-level low-grade fire rock lizard with the self-destruction special, the others were all first- and second-level monsters. No matter how he forced them, they were forced in. In a desperate situation, these fire rock lizards did not choose to self-destruct.

It seems that only a third-level fire rock lizard monster can master the characteristic of self-destruction.

This is somewhat similar to the demon clan. Most demonic beasts can only self-destruct demonic elixirs when they reach the third level. Because only third-level demonic beasts can condense demonic elixirs and then self-destruct.

And monsters, even the lowest level monsters, have magic pills in their bodies.

There is also some information about third-level monsters in Guanghua Sect's secret realm files, but none of them mention the function of self-destruction.

Presumably, it is a unique ability of the third-level fire rock lizard.

At the foot of the red and bare mountain, a fire rock lizard several feet in size fell in a pool of blood. Its head had been chopped off and blood flowed all over the ground.

Tangning held a thin book in her hand and recorded the characteristics of the second-order fire rock lizard. Then she used her hand as a knife to cut open its body and took out a round black sphere.

Green spiritual power surged in his body, and the originally black and shiny magic crystal gradually became transparent. After a while, it turned into a pile of powder and flew away with the wind.

Since the last trial trip, he has never had the opportunity to come into contact with these monsters.

Over the past few hundred years, the green spiritual power in his body has barely increased. This return to the secret realm is an excellent opportunity for him to hunt monsters wantonly to feed the green spiritual power.

For several days, Tang Ning hunted the fire lizards in the flames and killed nearly a hundred of them in total. Most of them were first-order monsters, and there were only about a dozen second-order fire lizards.

In just a few days, he had almost killed all the monsters in this area.

On this day, while Tang Ning was walking, he suddenly saw a faint ray of light approaching in the distance, and he quickly went to meet it.

The visitor was none other than Wu Xuan, who entered the secret realm with him.

"Senior Brother Tang, I finally met you." Wu Xuan said as the light fell.

"The place where I landed was this active volcanic mountain range. Just as I was about to look for you, I happened to meet a third-level fire rock lizard. According to Guanghua Sect's information, this level of fire rock lizard has never appeared before. So I stayed and studied it for a few days to get a deeper understanding. Junior Brother Wu, what did you find?"

"The place where I landed is about seven or eight hundred miles away from here. I have visited almost the entire secret realm in the past few days and found a lot of monsters. Most of them are similar to those described in the Guanghua Sect's information files. There is only one brand new species. This has not been recorded in the Guanghua Sect before.”

"Junior Brother Wu, we can't leave here for a while now. There are still a few days until Guanghua Sect opens the space channel again. There are no monsters here that can threaten your safety. I think we should act separately and be more detailed and in-depth. We are investigating the secret monsters here. When the space passage is opened, we will gather here again. What do you think?"

"Okay, just follow what Senior Brother Tang said."

Tangning flipped it over in her hand, took out a topographical atlas, and said with gestures: "With this as the center, I will leave the east side to you for investigation, and the west side to me. What do you think?"

"Okay." The two separated their respective areas of responsibility, chatted for a while, and then turned into rays of light and headed in different directions.

The main reason why Tangning proposed this plan was to distract him so that she could hunt monsters and absorb magic crystals.

After walking for less than an hour, he left the active volcano area and came to a green swamp. Below him, a three-eared magic frog several feet in size was wandering in the swamp. He dodged and pounced towards it.

………

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, in the deserted mountains, a ray of light shot down from the distance, revealing Zhang Yao's figure.

In the mountains and forests, there was already a man with beard and cheeks waiting for him.

"I've met Senior Zhang."

"No need to be polite, has there been any change in the Jiang family in the past few months? Is there any news about Jiang Dexing?" The man turned around and asked, waving his hand.

"Junior has not heard anything unusual. Jiang Dexing summoned Jiang Yuhuan two months ago. As for what the two talked about, I don't know. According to junior, Jiang Dexing has been staying in the city recently."

"Has Jiang Dexing seen anyone recently?"

"Juniors have never heard of it."

"Has anyone else from the Jiang family come to the city recently?"

"Junior has not heard of it."

"You should pay close attention to Jiang Dexing's movements, and ask more about whether he has seen anyone recently."

"yes."

"Go ahead! If there is any news, according to the old rules, you must report it immediately."

"Understood, I'll take my leave now, junior." After Zhang Yao said that, he flew away in the sky.

The man saw that his figure was completely lost in sight, and then left.

………

In the inner city, in a high attic, in a stone room, Zhang Yao and Jiang Yuhuan were sitting opposite each other.

"He asked his disciple, Senior Jiang Dexing, if he had seen anyone recently, and asked his disciples to inquire more about this matter."

"Only this?"

"yes."

Jiang Yuhuan pondered for a while: "I understand, you go first!"

"Disciple takes leave."

…

At the same time, in another dark room in the inner city, two men were sitting opposite each other.

One person has slightly white hair on his temples and is none other than Jiang Dexing, the manager of the Jiang Family Economic and Trade Hall. The other person, who has a big ear and is about forty years old, is Han Chong, the deputy director of the Jiang Family Foreign Affairs Hall.

"After Tao Xin's incident, they can no longer hold back. So far, they have not participated in clan meetings three times."

Jiang Dexing frowned: "So, they really plan to start a new business?"

"It's very possible. I got news that they are already in contact with various forces in Qingzhou. I heard that Jiang Xuan met Pan Yun secretly."

"Do you suspect that Jiang Xuan might be involved with them?"

"It's not that I'm suspicious, it's the higher-ups who are suspicious. It's hard to say anything now. Jiang Xuan's attitude is ambiguous and his position is uncertain. Once the flag is raised over there and he really starts a new one, it's hard to say that he won't be colluding."

"If that's the case, it's too terrible. Isn't there a compromise?"

"The higher-ups are still negotiating with them, including people from Taixuanzong, but the results are not very good. The attitude there is very tough. We must prepare for the worst."

"What do you need me to do?"

"I came out to see you this time because of the order of the manager. I told you to pay close attention to Jiang Xuan's movements. If he makes any changes, you can get rid of him as a last resort." Han Chong held in his hands After flipping it over, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.

Jiang Dexing took the document and read it for a while, with a solemn expression and frowning: "Jiang Xuan has a high position and has been the head of Donglai County for thousands of years. He has great prestige, has tens of thousands of people under his command, and has many close friends. If he wants to raise an army to rebel, I may not be able to do anything with my own strength."

"The deputy chief, Guo Yan, is one of ours. The manager has already greeted him. You should work together inside and outside to catch him by surprise. You should have a chance."

"Jiang Xuan is cautious and scheming. If he really has this intention, he will not be so easily plotted by us."

"This is just a precautionary measure for the future. No one wants to get to that point. The manager is also trying to negotiate with them. It would be best if we can resolve it smoothly. Fortunately, we have received the support of Taixuanzong. If we really want to get there, With one step, our chances of winning are at least 80%.”
