After resting for the night, Dong Lang walked out from the Pendant early the next morning. He was in high spirits and the little fellow in his arms shook its head, looking full of fighting spirit.

"Come, let's head for our first destination." Dong Lang immediately used the "Divine Dragon Descent" while he himself sat on the dragon head and carefully observed his surroundings. Even though he knew that this might be meaningless, just like how he did not realize that he had been hit by the "Bewitching Immortal Spell", he still had to be on his guard.

Right now, it was as if Dong Lang was walking in a thicket brimming with vitality.

"Jia Yi, from the looks of it, he should be heading towards the soul tempering grounds. Let's give him a try there, what do you think?"

"The Soul Refinement Grounds is a place to store lonely ghosts. What is he going there for? Could it be that we need to find a few evil spirits to be artifact spirits? "

"Who cares, we'll follow and see. We'll act accordingly."

Dong Lang was unaware of all this as he continued to carefully observe his surroundings. They were finally near the first destination marked on Xiao Chun's map. Dong Lang did not know of the place as the "Soul Refining Ground", nor did he know of the dangers of this place. Before he even got close, Dong Lang could already see eight black figures moving about. Could it be that there are other people here? " Dong Lang thought to himself as he saw these black figures. At this moment, the little fellow in Dong Lang's embrace started to become restless as well, "There's really danger." Seeing the little guy's unease, Dong Lang broke out in a cold sweat. Dong Lang sat cross legged, and started to think of a countermeasure.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Dong Lang was still unable to think of an especially good method, so he simply went to investigate. When Dong Lang was more than three hundred meters away from them, the eight black figures seemed to have suddenly sensed Dong Lang, and they all turned towards the direction where Dong Lang was hiding. Dong Lang dodged to the side quickly, and coincidentally was not discovered. Dong Lang, who thought that he could escape this calamity, heaved a sigh of relief. However, the eight black figures actually surrounded him silently, and unknowingly surrounded Dong Lang in the middle. When Dong Lang looked again, there were only three people left. When Dong Lang broke out in a cold sweat, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He looked around him, and sure enough, there were one on his left and three behind him as the black shadow approached him slowly. "What do we do, what do we do?" Although he had experienced a lot, Dong Lang was still a little timid and inexperienced when facing difficult situations. The swarm of eight was shrinking, and Dong Lang was also gradually able to see their appearances clearly. He originally thought that this place would be guarded alive, but he didn't expect it to be eight Stone Man s. Their movements were stiff, their hands almost straight up and down. Seeing this, Dong Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was from the Stone Man, his thinking ability shouldn't be too high. Thinking about that, with the Yue Feng in hand, Dong Lang immediately rushed towards one of the Stone Man s. He raised his hand and slashed, originally Dong Lang thought that this Yue Feng that could slice through iron like mud would not have any problems cutting off a section of a rock, but he never thought that this time, the intense clash would actually only produce sparks, and the two sides were completely fine. Without waiting for Dong Lang to stabilize himself, he only felt the ground beneath his feet become abnormally soft, and in the time of two breaths, his body had sunk down to his knees. Not only that, one of the Stone Man smashed his hand onto the ground like a hammer, and a pillar of water instantly broke through the ground and sprinkled onto Dong Lang's head. At this moment, Dong Lang's eyes closed, and his entire body released a cold aura. The flowing sand around him started to slow down, and eventually solidified. With a push of his body, Dong Lang shattered the layer of dirt that trapped him, and walked out. In this exchange, they were evenly matched.

Dong Lang stared at the eight people around him. "Exerting force into his legs, he stepped on the Yue Feng and flew up into the sky." A pile of stones, come on up. " Dong Lang had expected them to not fly up, but before he could finish, the eight Stone Man s had all flown up. This was something that Dong Lang did not expect, even such a heavy stone could do... Dong Lang carefully observed them, "Feng, they are actually all riding the wind. With Chi Mo's level of strength, stepping on the wind, don't tell me that I want to fight against eight of them?" The battle had not started yet, but Dong Lang was already afraid. He had already lost half of it. He anxiously looked back, and saw a sea of fire surging towards him, engulfing half of the sky and causing Dong Lang to not be able to get up, nor could he get down, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the surrounding Stone Man being surrounded by water that had appeared out of nowhere, and the water being split into three layers, it was not a problem for him to be engulfed by the sea of fire. Dong Lang retreated. You guys have water, I have ice, I'm afraid you won't make it. Perhaps it was because Dong Lang was a little afraid that his anger exploded at this moment. He urged the True Essence in his body to absorb the water vapor in the surroundings to form a layer of ice. He did not expect the water vapor to be so sparse, only forming a layer. Dong Lang thought.

"The sea of flames continuously approached Dong Lang, as if even his clothes would be ignited if he were to get any closer." If that's the case, then we shall die together. " Dong Lang immediately rushed towards the water area. Those Stone Man seemed to have long been prepared. The moment Dong Lang was about to touch the water surface, lightning suddenly flashed and swam within the water surface. There's actually lightning in this water? " Dong Lang could not believe his own eyes, but the scene in front of him was something he could not believe, the lightning swimming in the water was like a living creature. Water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth. "The five elements already existed, so what would happen next? Dong Lang became increasingly fearful of these eight people. What kind of strength would the remaining three have? As the sea of flames grew closer, Dong Lang's skin had already been roasted until it was slightly red. Calm down, calm down, there must be a way. " Dong Lang reminded himself, that's right, Pendant, I can hide inside them, Dong Lang immediately chanted the incantation, "There's actually no reaction? "Damn it, does the heavens want me to die?" Seeing that he could not even enter the Pendant s anymore, Dong Lang started to feel a little disheartened.

In a split-second, the sea of flames engulfed Dong Lang and the eight Stone Man s. After burning about two incense sticks of time, the sea of fire slowly retreated. The moment it retreated, Dong Lang's layer of ice completely disappeared, and the water around the eight Stone Man s remained unscathed. At the moment, Dong Lang's body was as though it was burnt, his body started to wobble and fall, but Dong Lang held on, hoping that he would find a chance, but the Stone Man did not want to give him the chance. The moment the water was withdrawn. The lightning finally obtained freedom, and pounced towards Dong Lang. Dong Lang did not have much extra strength to control the stability of the Yue Feng, so when he panicked, his control became even more unstable. "He almost fell several times." Is this the end? " Facing the incoming lightning, Dong Lang said dispiritedly, and in the end, his body fell straight down like a broken wind.

"Ah ?" With a miserable scream, Dong Lang completely lost consciousness. He landed heavily on the ground. At this moment, the eight Stone Man s slowly descended and stood beside Dong Lang, carefully sizing him up.

"Jia Yi, what do you think of this quasi-young master?" Tian Kui asked Jia Yi who was beside him.

"Well, how should I put it? His aptitude was average, but he was quite smart. However, he was only a little smart. Just what was his plan this time? It's really hard to fathom. " Tian Kui sighed.

The eight Stone Man s circled around Dong Lang. Seeing that Dong Lang started to slowly melt, and eventually became a pile of ice. This was the ice mirror technique, and upon stepping into the Sixth level, Dong Lang was able to use this little technique even more smoothly. However, he discovered that this technique had a fatal weakness, his body could not store too many True Essence s, and because of this weakness, he could not use any techniques that would consume too much energy. After all, one could tell if it was real or fake with a single glance.

In the place where the swamp was just frozen, a hand reached out. It turned out that the moment the quicksand reached Dong Lang's chest, Dong Lang had already quietly used the ice mirror's technique to hide his real body underground and run out to fight. It had to be said that before he knew his opponent, this was a very brilliant tactic.
