Chapter 1509 Entering the Underground Palace (for December 2000
Third update!)
Countless ghost bugs swarmed towards him. Liang Yan pinched the sword in his hand urgently, and four sword pills went back and forth in front of him, forming a four-color sword net in an attempt to stop these weird ghost bugs.
However, the ghost insect seemed to not exist in this world, passing through all the sword energy lightly, ignoring the four-color sword net as nothing, and flew straight over.
"Damn it!"
Liang Yan and Wei Long cursed secretly in their hearts.
These ghost bugs are really weird. They are not afraid of any magical powers, as if they are just an illusion. But when they get into the body, they can actually eat flesh and blood and absorb blood essence. This weird method is hard to resist.
In desperation, the two could only retreat temporarily.
As for Qingqing, she was lying on a boulder and fell into a coma.
Perhaps because she had not used her spiritual power, the ghost bugs did not gather in large numbers around her, but as there were more and more ghost bugs in the valley, a few flew to her side.
"No, Qingqing is in danger!"
Wei Long's eyes flashed with anxiety, but there were too many ghost bugs around him. He had suffered the losses before and knew that he couldn't let these bugs get close. He could only use the escape light to dodge constantly, and he couldn't spare any effort to rescue Qing Qing.
.
At the same time, Zi Lan had already approached the gate of the underground palace and was about to get into it.
"We can't let her go in first!"
Liang Yan's face was serious. He knew that the underground palace was very mysterious. The deep passage could only be seen for a short distance, indicating that there were restrictions in the underground palace that blocked spiritual consciousness.
In this environment, whoever gets in first will have the upper hand!
Thinking of this, Liang Yan raised his head and glanced at Wu Xin in the distance. The two of them barely communicated and already knew each other's thoughts at this moment.
The next moment, Liang Yan thought about it, summoned Lao Jin, turned into a golden escaping light, and flew towards the door of the underground palace.
Wuxin, on the other hand, clasped his hands and used the fairy magic behind him to resist the ghost insects, while he flew in the direction of Qingqing.
The two of them moved at the same time, so fast that only afterimages were left.
With the blessing of the immortal magic, Wu Xin quickly passed through the insect swarm and rushed to Qing Qing's side.
Ghost insects swarmed around him, Wu Xin's face was solemn, he first put the enlightened beast into the spirit beast bag, and then hugged Qing Qing in his arms.
After doing all this, she kneaded the secret with one hand, and the fairy magic behind her turned into a breath of fresh air, covering both her and Qingqing's bodies.
The next moment, countless ghost insects rushed up.
However, the fresh air has slowly dissipated, and where Wu Xin was just now, there is no trace of a human being.
On the other side, Liang Yan was riding Lao Jin, flying quickly towards the entrance of the underground palace.
Before the Ghost Insect appeared, Liang Yan, Wu Xin, and Wei Long fought against Zi Lan, and there was no clear winner.
But after the ghost bugs appeared, the three of them were forced to separate and fight on their own. Their strength dropped a lot. On the other hand, Zi Lan's cultivation level far exceeded that of any of the three, so she was the first to break through the ghost bugs.
, flew towards the underground palace gate at the fastest speed.
Liang Yan had already taken advantage of Lao Jin's speed, but still couldn't catch up with Zi Lan. He could only watch the opponent arrive first.
"Boy, you are too late this time!"
At this moment, Zi Lan has arrived at the entrance of the underground palace.
But she didn't go in immediately. Instead, she stopped hiding and looked back at Liang Yan, who was chasing after her. A strange smile appeared on her face.
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance, and his heart thumped, thinking something was wrong!
Before he could react, Zi Lan had already made a seal with her hands, and she controlled the "Poison Fly" beside her. She opened her big mouth and sprayed out billowing poisonous mist, forming a poisonous wall at the entrance of the underground palace!
At the same time, Zi Lan bit the tip of her tongue and sprayed her essence and blood on the poison wall, forming a powerful seal.
After doing all this, Zi Lan looked at Liang Yan who had arrived, feeling proud and couldn't help laughing loudly:
"Liang, you have obstructed me many times. I wanted to kill you and then hurry up! But business is more important. I have to go to the underground palace. I will leave you here to wait for death."
Amidst the laughter, Zi Lan glanced at Liang Yan one last time, then turned around and dived directly into the passage of the underground palace.
Looking at Zi Lan's disappearing back, Liang Yan's face turned gloomy.
The poisonous wall blocking the entrance to the underground palace has a seal that Zi Lan condensed with his life essence and blood. Although it is not impregnable, it is still difficult to break in a short time.
Judging from the current situation, these ghost insects around them will not give them time to break through the poisonous wall!
"This damn witch!"
Wei Long, who was following closely, saw this scene and couldn't help but cursed loudly.
At the same time, a breath of fresh air suddenly floated out from a position not far from the two people. As the fresh air became more and more abundant, the figures of Wu Xin and Qing Qing also slowly appeared in the smoke.
Seeing that the witch appeared beside him safely, Liang Yan felt a little relieved.
But the current situation is not optimistic. There is a poisonous wall seal left by Zi Lan in front of them, and there are a swarm of ghost insects chasing after them. There is not much time left for them.
"Elder Wei, your Shennong Mountain skills can restrain the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, can you please focus on breaking the door?" At the critical moment, Liang Yan did not mess up his position.
"Yes, yes, but these ghost insects."
Before Wei Long could finish speaking, Liang Yan interrupted: "You don't have to worry about the ghost worms. Elder Wei only needs to break down the door. Leave the rest to the two of us!"
Seeing his determined expression, Wei Long was also infected. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay! Since Fellow Daoist Liang said so, what if I use my life to break the door?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his remaining hand to make a secret, and he took out the "Baicao Bag" again, floating in the air, constantly releasing a soft breeze, using one of the seven unique skills of Shennong Mountain, "Spring Style"
, to continuously disintegrate the poisonous mist in front of the underground palace.
In order to strengthen the power of the "Baicao Bag", Wei Long also dripped his own essence and blood on the magic weapon, and even sacrificed part of his own cultivation to enhance the power of this magic weapon.
The gentle breeze constantly breaks down the restrictions on the poisonous wall.
It's just that the speed is not fast.
Although Shennong Mountain's skills can restrain the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Zi Lan has already survived two disasters and seven disasters, while Weilong has only experienced one and six disasters. The difference between the two is too great. Even if the skills are restrained, he cannot overcome them in a short time.
Break through the poison wall seal.
Just when he cast a spell to break the poisonous wall, the ghost insects in the valley had already swarmed in, and the dense swarm surrounded the three people.
Wei Long turned a deaf ear to everything around him and focused solely on breaking the door. He left his back to Liang Yan and Wu Xin, showing his absolute trust in the two of them.
"These bugs are difficult to deal with. Our magical powers seem to be ineffective against them, and once they get close to us, they will immediately devour flesh, blood and essence." Wu Xin and Liang Yan stood side by side and said through the voice with a solemn expression.
After hearing this, Liang Yan shook his head and said: "How can there be insects in the world that are not injured? In the past few rounds of fighting, I have seen through their details. The so-called 'ghost insects' are just able to travel freely through the void.
"
"Traveling through the void?"
"Yes, when these ghost bugs are attacked, they will make their bodies escape into the void and become a 'ghost' state, thus avoiding all magical powers. But the moment they approach the enemy, these ghost bugs will emerge from the void again.
Return to real space so they can attack their enemies."
"I see!"
After listening to Liang Yan's explanation, Wu Xin's face showed a look of surprise.
"No wonder they can ignore our magical powers and at the same time cause harm to us. It turns out that they can freely travel through the void and use this method to deceive others."
"Actually, it's easy to deal with them." Liang Yan glanced at the approaching swarm of insects and whispered: "As long as you attack the ghost insects at the moment they attack us, you can hurt them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of the fastest flying ghost insects had already approached Liang Yan's body.
Perhaps out of their desire for flesh and blood, these ghost bugs didn't hesitate at all and burrowed into his chest almost simultaneously.
This is the time Liang Yan has been waiting for!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched the spell in his hand, and the sword light of the Mayfly Sword Ball surged, forming a small tornado, sucking in all the ghost insects that were about to touch the skin of his chest.
Hiss!
Harsh screams came from the sword whirlwind, and the dozens of approaching ghost insects were smashed to pieces by him with the mayfly sword energy!
“It really works!”
Seeing this scene, Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very worried just now, feeling that Liang Yan was gambling on his life by letting these bugs get close to her chest.
If these bugs were not what was analyzed just now, he might have had ghost bugs burrowing into his body and eating his heart.
Of course, Wuxin didn't know that Liang Yan had the "immortality of a heavenly dragon", otherwise he wouldn't be so worried.
"Do you see clearly?"
Liang Yan killed dozens of ghost insects with one sword, took a step back, and asked Wu Xin.
"See clearly!" Wu Xin nodded slightly.
Soon, more ghost bugs swarmed in, but the two of them already knew how to deal with it. Instead of ducking and avoiding, they allowed these ghost bugs to get close to them, and then used thunderous means to kill them when they were about to touch their skin.
of insects beheaded.
In the valley, at the entrance of the underground palace, a fierce battle between humans and insects started.
Countless ghost bugs came from all directions. Liang Yan and Wu Xin each used their magical powers. Their swords, light and demonic energy alternated. In just half a quarter of an hour, they had killed thousands of ghost bugs.
After the Ghost Insect died, the body turned into a faint light and fell from the air, as if there was an aurora rain, and it looked beautiful.
Although they already knew the weakness of the ghost bug, Liang Yan and Wu Xin did not look relaxed.
Because there are so many of these bugs, there are still a steady stream of ghost bugs flying out from the cracks in the stone walls of the valley. Even if the two of them work together, they cannot kill them all.
Moreover, the way Liang Yan and Wu Xin killed the bugs was very dangerous. They had to let the bugs get close to their bodies first, and only then could they attack them when they came back from the void and appeared in real form.
If you are just a little careless or move just a little bit slowly, you may get bugs burrowing into your body and eating your flesh and blood.
Therefore, these bugs can kill a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, but Wuxin cannot miss even once, because once the bugs invade the body, they will soon be surrounded by a tide of bugs, and it will be dangerous at that time.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin both knew that the situation was critical, but they still gritted their teeth and stood firm, refusing to retreat even an inch.
In this situation, they don't need to kill all the ghost insects in the valley, they just need to buy time for Wei Long.
In this way, the two of them tried their best to stop the numerous ghost insects in the valley. About a quarter of an hour later, they suddenly heard Wei Long behind them shout:
"It's done!"
Hearing this voice, Liang Yan and Wu Xin both looked happy.
The two of them turned to look at the same time, and saw that the poisonous mist at the entrance to the underground palace had been cleared away, and the seal left by Zi Lan had been broken. At this time, the door of the underground palace was open, and there was no longer any obstacle.
"Walk!"
Liang Yan and Wu Xin didn't hesitate at all. They combined their escaping light in one place, their speed was extremely fast, and they got into the gate of the underground palace in an instant.
As an elder of Shennong Mountain, Wei Long had been reprimanded since he was a child and was not allowed to enter the forbidden areas of Shennong Mountain. However, facing the numerous ghost insects in the valley, he did not dare to stay. He and Lao Jin walked closely behind each other.
Following Liang Yan, Wuxin and the others flew in.
The passages of the underground palace are deep and dark.
Divine consciousness is restricted here, unable to penetrate the walls, and cannot extend too far.
Liang Yan and others did not dare to slow down because they were afraid of the ghost insects behind them, so they all activated the escape light to the extreme and flew down the deep passage.
After flying like this for an unknown amount of time, Liang Yan suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
"careful!"
Liang Yan gave a low drink. The first reaction in his mind was that Zi Lan was hiding in the dark and wanted to launch a sneak attack on them with poisonous mist.
So he hurriedly reminded everyone to protect their whole bodies with spiritual power.
However, after everyone flew for a while, they discovered that there did not seem to be any poison in this faint aroma.
"strangeness?"
Everyone had doubts in their hearts and didn't know where the fragrance came from.
At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the top of his head.
I saw a pale human face appearing on the stone wall of the underground palace. This human face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. As the people moved, it kept moving, and it always remained directly above everyone's heads!
When the man saw Liang Yan discovering him, he couldn't help but grin.
The next moment, a stream of smoke spewed out from its mouth and slowly floated towards everyone.
Before the smoke even got close, there was a faint aroma that was exactly the same as what everyone had smelled before.
"It turns out it's you who is doing the trick!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he couldn't figure out what the hell this human face was, he followed the principle of "strike first to gain the upper hand". At this time, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and fired a sword light.
Run for that face.
Facing the speeding sword light, the pale white face smiled silently.
The next moment, a white barrier appeared in front of the face and bounced Liang Yan's sword light back.
Liang Yan's expression changed slightly. Before he could make any further plans, thick smoke billowing around him filled the air with everyone.
