"This temple looks like a strange fish," Bi Linglong couldn't help but said after observing for a while, "But is there such a big fish in the world?"
"There are still some, such as giant whales." Zu An looked at the weird temple and felt that it was bigger than the largest blue whale in his previous life.
"Hey, is this..." Mi Li's confused voice came.
Zu An hurriedly said: "Master Queen, why have you contracted the problem of half-talking? What could it be?"
Mi Li shook her head: "Go over and take a look first to verify whether it is the judgment in my mind."
Zu An wanted to ask again, but at this moment, Bi Linglong shouted in surprise from beside her, and a zombie-like hand suddenly appeared from beside her feet and grabbed her ankle tightly.
After all, Bi Linglong was a sixth-level cultivator. After exclaiming, she immediately cut off with a sword, but almost at the same time, more hands appeared on the ground and grabbed her feet, and the ground became muddy, like a swamp.
Her center of gravity was unstable and she was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Zu An had quick eyesight and quick hands. He held her up, then cut off the arms at her feet with one hand, and led her to jump back a few feet and return to the solid ground.
"What on earth was that just now?" Bi Linglong looked over there with lingering fear, and saw that the large area of land had become muddy. It turned out that it was not solid ground at all, but a swamp.
Countless arms stretched out in the swamp, grabbing at the air everywhere, as if they wanted to drag all passing creatures into the abyss.
Seeing this scene, her face turned pale again. Girls are naturally afraid of these ghostly things.
"I don't know, it looks like some undead creatures." Zu An said in a deep voice.
Just as Bi Linglong was about to say something, she suddenly frowned and bent down in pain, covering her calf with cold sweat pouring down her face.
Zu An squatted down next to her and lifted up her skirt slightly, only to see a few burnt black handprints on her smooth and white calves.
Originally, Bi Linglong was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable when her skirt was lifted up by a man, but her expression changed when she saw those black handprints.
"This is the result of the grievances between heaven and earth. These grievances will devour living beings, and even just touching them will cause great harm to the body." Zu An repeated Mi Li's words.
"Ah, how do we get there?" Bi Linglong's face was pale. This swamp is extremely difficult to pass, not to mention there are so many resentful spirits down there?
She wasn't too worried about the marks on her body. The poisoning wasn't too deep yet, so she could hold on. The key was that they couldn't retreat if they couldn't move forward. If the emperor caught up, they would die.
However, she never expected that Zhao Ruizhi and his party had taken another path and were now in big trouble.
They had seen the vast desert in front of them before, but Zhao Ruizhi did not hesitate at all and led the large troops into it. Such a vast desert might be a restricted area of life for ordinary people, but it was nothing to practitioners like them.
But as they reached the depths of the desert, trouble began.
I saw the sound coming from all over. At first, it was just intermittent, and everyone didn't pay attention to it. But later, the sound became louder and louder, and many of them came from under their feet.
He Li was already upset because of the strange flower inside his body, so when he saw it, he simply slapped his palm on the ground.
Those voices suddenly became muted. Soldiers from Prince Qi's Mansion dug up the sand on the ground and found that many black scorpions were shocked to death inside.
Everyone complimented He Li on the power of his palm, but Zhao Ruizhi frowned secretly and stared at the scorpions closely.
These scorpions are different from any other scorpions in the world. They are three to four times larger than ordinary scorpions. At the same time, their whole bodies are covered in a weird, shiny black color.
At this moment, the black scorpion corpses suddenly turned into black smoke and dispersed.
The warriors in Prince Qi's Mansion were all stunned. What is this situation?
"Be careful!" Zhao Ruizhi's expression suddenly changed slightly, because there was a louder rustling sound from the surrounding area, and the sand around him began to stir, as if something was swimming in it.
Everyone in Prince Qi's Mansion drew their weapons on guard, obviously everyone was very afraid of this unknown danger.
Immediately afterwards, some sand from the surrounding area began to spray out, and soon the pile grew higher and higher, forming small dunes like termite nests. Then with a pop, countless black scorpions came out and swarmed towards everyone crazily.
The warriors in Prince Qi's Mansion were shocked and waved their weapons to defend. At the same time, various elemental abilities flew together. Originally, there was no problem with their abilities against the scorpions, but these scorpions were too weird and seemed to be immune to many elemental attacks. In addition,
On the Infinite Wuji, someone was soon stung by a scorpion, and then he let out a very shrill scream, and the whole person rolled around.
These people were carefully selected to die. They would not frown at ordinary injuries. Now that they were screaming so miserably, one could only imagine how painful the stings of these black scorpions would be.
Zhao Ruizhi snorted, and a golden light spread out with him as the center. When the black scorpions came into contact with the golden light, they instantly turned into black smoke and disappeared.
The densely packed black scorpions all around were cleared away in an instant.
He Li's eyes widened, thinking that every time the emperor's power refreshed his imagination, if I were a woman, I might fall in love with him. What's wrong with the princess? She ran away with a pretty boy.
Zhao Ruizhi said calmly: "Treat his injuries and continue on the road."
His first reaction was to leave the injured here to avoid being a burden, but as a superior, he understood that if the morale of the army was lost, there would be no point in bringing these people.
We had these people experiment on the floating island before and many people were killed, which already weakened the military morale. If we did it again, the military morale would definitely be over, so some gentle measures should be taken appropriately.
Hearing his words, He Li immediately came back to his senses. As a ninth-grade master, he naturally had some good medicine for wounds. Normally, he would not bear to give it to others, but now that the emperor spoke, he could only give it to him aggrievedly.
Take it out and treat the injured.
"Hmph, I take back what I just said. This guy will only exploit us if he is so picky. No wonder women follow others."
The group of people continued to walk deeper into the desert. The emperor took action several times to suppress the black scorpions, but there were more and more black scorpions behind them, and each one seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, which made him feel stressed.
"These black scorpions should be transformed by resentful spirits and rely on this world. Unless this world is destroyed, they will never be killed." Zhao Ruizhi frowned, but he soon became happy again, "Huh,
Even I have such a headache, I think that little kid like Zu An will definitely die if he faces a similar situation."
"Sneeze!" Zu An on the other side couldn't help sneezing again, "Who is thinking of me?"
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Bi Linglong was a little worried. Generally, practitioners rarely get sick when they reach a certain level. Once they get sick, it means it is very serious.
"It's okay," Zu An shook his head, then stretched out his hand to caress her ankle, which was smooth and tender, as expected of a princess who has been pampered for many years.
Feeling the heat in his palm, Bi Linglong's face turned red. Why did he want to touch herself at this time? Should I refuse or pretend not to know...
While she was struggling, a warm current suddenly passed over her ankle, and the previous tingling sensation disappeared completely, even the black handprints on it disappeared.
"How did you do it?" Bi Linglong was surprised and happy, and then she realized that she had misunderstood.
Zu An smiled and did not answer: "Let's seize the time and continue walking."
After saying that, he pulled her up and walked towards the swamp.
Bi Linglong was shocked: "Those resentful spirits..."
She was stunned before she finished speaking, because she was surprised to find that those vengeful arms originally wanted to rush over to catch the two of them, but for some reason, they suddenly retracted their hands in fear and stayed away from the two of them.
.
Although it's a bit strange to say this, they really feel like they've seen a ghost.
At the same time, every time Zu An took a step, the soft swamp within a few meters of his feet would be frozen with a layer of white ice, as if he were stepping on solid ground.
"This is the Snowflake Divine Sword, but I have never heard that the Snowflake Divine Sword can expel evil spirits?" Bi Linglong even felt at a loss.
Zu An looked relaxed and content. He had entered the secret realm many times, and he was already familiar with dealing with these undead creatures.
After practicing the Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra to the second level, he was able to restrain all evil and evil spirits. Now that he has reached the third level of Dzogchen, the resentful spirit below the swamp is threatened, so it is natural to retreat as far away as possible.
Soon the two of them crossed the swamp and came to the strange temple. The temple was extremely dilapidated. There was no plaque on the lintel, and even one of the main doors was missing. The other was ajar and covered with
The spider web seemed to be about to collapse at any moment.
There were two lines of words vaguely engraved on both sides of the door, and Mi Li started to read: "The mountains are underworld, the fish are far away, the sun is rising, the mirage is in the sky...Hey, it really is him."
