Chapter 16 The Beast That Eats Fire(1/2)
The animal bone was obtained from the lottery conference when he was one year old.
Since he got the beast bone, his grandfather and aunt have been looking forward to one day he can echo the beast bone with spiritual power.
Unfortunately, to this day, he has not caused any changes in the animal bones, and he himself has long given up.
However, he always stayed on his body. When it was late at night, he would take it out to play with it, hoping that one day he could feel the wonder of the beast bones.
But over the years, the animal bones have never been abnormal.
However, today's animal bones are obviously different from usual.
He looked at it carefully and saw that a trace of red light seemed to bloom from the beast bone.
The increasingly intense burning sensation gradually came from the animal bones with the flashing red light, making him pressed against the animal bones' waist, unbearable.
"strangeness……"
Nie Tian had a strange look on his face, and placed the beast bone in his palm, trying to sense it with his spiritual power in his body.
Looking through the bones with his mind, he seemed to see more broken little red lights. The lights were inside the bones, releasing orange-red flames, as if burning.
"The orange-red flame, when fighting with Yunsong before, wasn't the flame ball condensed by Yunsong the same color?" His expression moved slightly.
At this moment, he temporarily took his attention from the beast bones, and instead thought about the details of the battle with Yun Song.
He suddenly remembered that as he flew away from those orange-red flame balls, most of the fire lights in the flame balls sputtered out.
However, it seemed that part of the fire light that flew to the beast bone part did not splash out.
It seems that some fire lights have been left forever...
"Can those orange-red flames fall into the animal bones?" Nie Tian gradually grasped the veins.
As he was thinking secretly, the animal bones became hotter. The originally dark brown animal bones were like red-hot irons, showing a red and translucent state.
The unusual high temperature made his palm ached faintly, and he had to stand up and put the animal bone on the stone table.
He stared at it wide-eyed and found that the beast bone seemed to be forged by flames, and fire flashed from time to time.
The strange state of the beast bone did not last long. After a while, the beast bone became dull again, as if the fire light left by Nie Hong inside had been burned out.
After the high temperature faded, Nie Tiancai reached out his hand again and pressed his fingertips on the animal bone.
Close his eyes, he felt it carefully with his fingers, as if he could see the inside of the animal bones, and there were scattered flames still flashing.
After a while, the scattered flames in the beast bone disappeared. The beast bone completely returned to its previous color, and there was no special thing about it.
Nie Tian continued to play for a while, trying to find the wonders, but he found nothing.
After a long time, the animal bones still had no new changes, so he had no choice but to give up and put them away again.
However, with this abnormality, he was particularly careful about the beast bone.
For some time afterwards, Nie Tian was strictly prohibited from going out because Nie Donghai found that he was wandering around the Nie family, several Qi Refiners of unknown origins were wandering.
Nie Donghai knew very well that those unidentified Qi Refiners must have come from the Yun family, or the Yuan family guest minister who obeyed Yuan Qiuying.
Even the Yun family and the Yuan family dare not attack Nie Tian openly in Heiyun City.
The only thing they can do is find some new faces, and after things are done, they will separate themselves from those new faces and let those people leave Black Cloud City forever.
In order to prevent Nie Tian from being killed, Nie Xi stared at him all day long and did not allow him to take a step forward from the Nie family.
The same is true. Nie Tian did not leave the Nie family within three months and had been practicing Qi Zhi with peace of mind, hoping to go further in the short term.
Three months later, the outsiders gradually evacuated from the Nie family when they saw that they had no chance to take action.
"I'm so tired." Nie Xi's face was full of fatigue, and she walked into Nie Tian's room and casually put a cloth bag on the table. "I've been busy for three days, and then I have counted the fire cloud stones that have been mined in the past few months and paid the majority to Lingyun Sect. The remaining part of the fire cloud stones entered the family's warehouse again. There was only one thing that came to my hands."
In front of the door, the red light of the sunset penetrated in, and Nie Tian also woke up from his cultivation.
"Is that the fire cloud stone?" Nie Tian looked at the table curiously and several stones rolled out of the cloth bag.
"Well, this is the fire cloud stone, a low-level fourth-grade spiritual material." Nie Xi picked up a fist-sized fire cloud stone and threw it at Nie Tian. "The spiritual material is a special material for refining spiritual weapons and building spiritual arrays. Every Qi Refiner will start to contact after he reaches the three-day realm. You can take a look."
Nie Tian raised his hand, grabbed the fire rock accurately, and lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
The fist-sized fire cloud stone has a dark red color, and there seem to be red clouds inside. Among the red clouds, there seems to be the power of flames.
After watching for a while, Nie Tian moved his mind slightly and took out the animal bone on his body.
In front of Nie Xi, he gently pressed the fire cloud stone towards the beast bone, trying to guide the flame power in the fire cloud stone towards the beast bone.
The last time, because of fighting with Yunsong, the flame ball from Yunsong was left in the beast bone, causing a change in the beast bone, which made him feel at ease.
He wanted to see if this animal bone could continue to absorb the power of flames like that time.
"Swish!"
The sparks of Mars suddenly burst out from the contact point between the beast bones and the fire marble. The dark brown animal bones suddenly turned into the same color as the fire marble.
Nie Tian opened his eyes wide, and he pressed his finger on the beast bones and fire cloud stones, and clearly felt that there was a slight ray of flame power flowing from the fire cloud stones to the beast bones.
Within the fire cloud stone, small clusters of red clouds are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Huh!"
Nie Qian also noticed something abnormal and hurriedly came to Nie Tian's side, looking at the beast bones curiously like Nie Tian.
She saw that in a short time, all the red clouds in the fire cloud stone disappeared.
She knew very well that those small, cloud-like red balls were the power of flame contained in the fire cloud stone.
"Ticaca!"
The fist-sized fire cloud stone suddenly shattered after all the red clouds inside disappeared.
The fire marble that broke into smaller pieces was no longer dark red, but became the most ordinary stone that was gray and white.
On the contrary, the dark brown animal bones gradually became red and translucent, like a red soldering iron, which made Nie Tian let go quickly.
"Xiaotian, you..." Nie Qian was overjoyed, his bright eyes burst into excitement, "Can you start to have spiritual sense of this beast bone? Is your cultivation attribute flame?"
What she had always been worried about was that Nie Tian never showed his unique cultivation attributes and did not echo the animal bones.
Now, seeing the beast bone turning red, she mistakenly thought it was caused by Nie Tian, and immediately became overjoyed.
"It has nothing to do with me." Nie Tian smiled bitterly, "If it was the animal bone change caused by me, the attribute in his body was the power of flame, and I could hold it without letting go."
"Then..." Nie Xi was disappointed and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"
"It was the Fire Cloud Stone that caused this beast bone to change." Nie Tian explained the abnormal changes of the beast bone that night after he and Yun Song fought, and then said: "This beast bone seems to be able to absorb the power of flames. I was not sure before. Only then did I be sure of the flames in the Fire Cloud Stone this time were also absorbed by the beast bones."
When the two of them spoke, the beast bones shining with fire gradually turned dark brown and no longer magical.
"Why has it changed back?" Nessic said.
"Suck the power of flame into it, and it will return to its original state. If you want to change any more, you can only continue to absorb the power of flame." Nie Tiandao.
"I'll take a look." Nie Xi was intrigued.
She took the cloth bag containing fire marbles on the table, took out a larger fire marble from it, and handed it to Nie Tian: "Try again."
"Okay." Nie Tian tried again as he said.
"Swish!"
The contact point between the beast bones and the fire marble burst out again, and the beast bones became red and translucent again.
Under the attention of Nie Tian and Nie Xi, the larger fire cloud stone was quickly pulled away from the power of the flame by the beast bones and soon shattered.
And the beast bones, there were ignition lights inside, and they flashed out of the beast bones like shattered red stars.
Nie Xi, who was ready, slowly stretched out his hand and gently tapped the beast bone with his crystal fingers, trying to find out the mystery.
"ah!"
As soon as he touched the beast bone, Nie Xi screamed and stopped like lightning.
Her fingertips were burned in an instant.
When she gathered the spiritual power containing water attributes and wanted to continue trying, the beast bone returned to normal and became sparse.
"Come again!"
She was aroused by fighting spirit and took out another piece of fire stone and placed it on the animal bone, which turned red like fire again.
This time she condensed the spiritual power of water on her fingers and reached out again.
"Swish!"
A trace of water mist suddenly evaporated from the contact point between her finger and the animal bone, but after only three seconds, she couldn't stand the scorching heat on the animal bones and had to stop.
"Come again!"
Nie Xi tried again and again, and pieces of fire marble shattered after the beast bones sucked all the power of the flames.
Every time she touched the animal bone, she could not hold on for a long time. Often, her spiritual consciousness could not bear the pulling of her hands as soon as she penetrated into the animal bone.
After a while, all the remaining fire rocks turned into grayish-white gravel.
Nie Xi's forehead showed sweat stains, looked at the beast bone dejectedly, shook her head, and sighed: "This thing is a bit weird."
Perhaps because it absorbed a lot of flame power in a short period of time, the beast bone did not immediately return to normal after the last fire marble was shattered, and it was still red like a forged iron block.
To be continued...
