Guarded by a hundred poisonous cold light barriers, the three people's magic powers can be fully utilized.
Even though the terrain of Haili Marsh is muddy and difficult to walk on, how can we defeat these alchemy monks?
Yunyu Banner's escape speed was not slow, and it only took half a day to wrap up the three people and cross the perimeter.
Yunsheng Ruins was already covered with clouds and fog, and the miasma here was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the sky.
Whether it is snakes, insects, rats, ants, or plants and vines, those who can survive in such a harsh environment are more or less special.
There are almost no normal spiritual herbs to be seen, but there are quite a few materials that can be used in magic rituals to refine elixirs and magical tools.
These are not common in the East China Sea, so when Xie Duanyang saw them, he took them there casually.
Gongsun Li and Sun Li saw this in their eyes and were thoughtful, but they had a tacit understanding and did not ask him why he collected these rare materials.
Soon, I encountered a blood-bearded midge.
Xie Duanyang used his magic power to transform himself into a big hand of fire, and when he was picking Mushrooms officinalis, he startled a group of blood-bearded midges.
There are countless monsters and beasts in Blackwood Swamp, but a swarm of bloodbeard midges dominates them all.
They themselves are not very intelligent, and they are used to running rampant in the swamp.
At this moment, he sensed the disgusting fire and immediately buzzed and oscillated his transparent wings to surround and kill him.
Looking at its appearance, it looks a bit like a mosquito, with extremely long mouthparts, but it is also closer to the genus Fly.
It's just much bigger, almost as big as a house cat.
On the black and red body, the downy hairs are clearly visible.
Xie Duanyang said nothing, but secretly activated the Baidu Cold Light Barrier and released a circle of light to cover it.
As for the other two people, they were not idle and used their own methods.
Among this group of blood-bearded midges, only two have strong auras and have foundation-building levels.
It was not that they doubted that Xie Duanyang could not manage these dozens of demonic insects, but that these insects were rare and could only thrive in large numbers in a special environment like Black Li Marsh.
The two of them had never dealt with him before, so now they were trying their best, and they would be able to restrain themselves when they encountered a large number of them.
Therefore, neither of them released any magic weapons, but only used magic to defeat the enemy.
Luo Gui is the purest fire spell. He can cast dozens of fireballs when he raises his hand, but compared to Qi-training and foundation-building monks, he doesn't know how powerful he is.
As soon as it flew out, there was heat all around, and the water vapor was evaporated by it.
When it reached the blood-bearded midge, the fireball suddenly exploded.
Sparks splashed out in all directions, forming a volley of flames and forming a circle to cover them.
However, if trapped by the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, the demonic insect will be refined to extract all its toxicity and turn into this treasure to increase its power.
But when he encountered Luo Gui's ring of fire, he only ended up in ashes.
Compared to the two of them, Gongsun Li's actions looked much more ethereal and had no trace of fireworks.
With just a touch of his hand, a bloody midge exploded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In just the blink of an eye, nearly thirty demonic insects were slaughtered.
"It's just as I expected."
Xie Duanyang opened his right hand lightly, and a ball of colorful smoke fell from the sky, gathered in his palm, and kept changing its shape.
The poison in the blood midge's body has been absorbed by the Hundred Poison Cold Light Barrier, but its essence and blood have been retained.
This kind of monster is extremely bloodthirsty and will just pounce on its opponent.
In just three to five seconds, the mouthparts can suck out all the vital energy and blood.
Xie Duanyang just sensed it a little and knew that it was naturally close to the blood refining method, but it was just relying on natural instincts that it ended up being crude.
After thinking for a moment, he released the cold light barrier again and put away the impure blood essence.
Gongsun Li was also studying the last blood-bearded midge.
This body is already as strong as that of a calf, and it is one of the strongest members of this group of demonic insects.
Not in a hurry to kill, Gongsun Li controlled the Yunyu Banner, transformed into several cloud and mist ropes to tie it up, and then flicked it with his fingers.
The sword energy is invisible and colorless, but the bloodbeard midge shows a humanized look of fear, flapping its wings crazily and humming in its mouth.
Black and red demonic energy surged and rippled.
However, when Gongsun Li's sword energy landed on the monster energy, it was canceled out, leaving only a small amount of aftermath on him.
After trying both hands and understanding its roots, Gongsun Li refused to hold back any more.
The sword energy still popped out, but this time the power was ten times greater, easily breaking through the bloodbeard's protective demonic energy and killing it.
"This demonic insect's innate demonic skills seem to have something in common with Brother Gongsun's invisible sword energy?"
Luo Gui could see clearly and asked curiously.
"good."
Gongsun Li nodded, then hesitantly asked.
"Two Taoist friends, our priority during this trip is to explore the ruins of the Taoist temple first and retrieve the treasures. We don't need to get entangled with this swarm of insects here.
But if the treasure retrieval goes well, can I pass by here again when I come back?"
"Is he trying to conquer the head spirit pet?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Duanyang and the others guessed his plan.
Demonic insects like bloodbeard midges are relatively rare in themselves, and their magical skills are special, similar to Gongsun Li's invisible sonic sword energy.
If the head can be subdued and cultivated, the strength will definitely be greatly improved.
It's just that for him, he either has to directly subjugate the demonic insects into the climate, or select larvae with excellent qualifications to cultivate them from scratch. It is impossible to just find someone to make a contract with.
It is not easy to encounter both of them, and you will most likely have to break into the nest of the bloodbeard midge.
This conflicted with the original plan of the three people. They originally planned to circle around as much as possible and not take the initiative to cause provocation.
When you come back, if the fighting between the Yuanying old monsters has subsided, just return along the original route.
Now, he is suspected of letting the other two bear the risk for him.
Gongsun Li knew this and openly said that he could make more concessions when dividing the harvest.
"I just took it with me when I came back. I think it can be done.
If there is nothing to gain from the ruins, if we can get some blood midge larvae out, the trip will not be in vain."
Luo Gui was the first to agree.
In fact, there is no reason to object at all.
Although the blood-bearded midge is a bit difficult to deal with, three people can handle it.
I still have to sell Gongsunli's face.
Xie Duanyang had no problem with it. The longer he stayed in Black Li Marsh, the stronger the Baidu Cold Light Barrier would become. He certainly had no reason to object.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Besides, he is also a little curious about this nest of blood midges.
The three of them agreed and then started to speed up a little.
There were indeed a lot of blood-bearded midges, but after walking for a hundred miles, we encountered another group, which was much larger than the ones just now.
Gongsun Li wanted to use the sonic sword energy again, but was stopped by Xie Duanyang.
"The green-bearded tortoise that relied on Senior Brother Luo more often came here. Now let's let Zhang's end breathe."
As he said this, Xie Duanyang untied a leopard skin bag.
With the mouth of the capsule facing down, shake it gently.
Accompanied by the sonorous sound of the friction and clashing of gold and stone, a huge mantis several feet long appeared next to him.
The whole body is jet black, with golden lines on the back.
After looking into those two cold compound eyes the size of a basin for a moment, Luo Gui unconsciously felt a sense of panic, and instinctively wanted to retreat and distance herself.
This shows that this demonic insect is already a sufficient threat to him.
Level five, at least level five, and it's not an ordinary monster.
Luo Gui is actually not weak in strength. He has been cultivating elixirs for many years, has accumulated a lot of magic power, and has several magical treasures and ancient treasures with him.
However, he is a weapon refiner by profession and is not good at fighting with others, so his character is naturally weak.
The golden-backed demon mantis is a wild and alien species, cruel in nature and easy to kill.
For decades, I have painstakingly studied and understood the artistic conception of the sword techniques of the White Tiger Seven Kills. Needless to say, they have a strong murderous aura.
Gongsun Li had a high level of cultivation, so he was not as helpless as Luo Gui, but he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
Anyone who knows or has heard of Xie Duanyang's name knows that he established his foundation on Dihuo Island, which lasted only ten years.
According to common sense, this fifth-level monster insect was definitely not cultivated by him personally.
Luo Gui's green-bearded turtle has a lifespan of two to three hundred years and is only at the peak of the fourth level.
That is the legacy of our predecessors.
Gongsun Li was not surprised by this.
His ability to cultivate to such an extent is certainly due to his extraordinary aptitude and xinxing, but it also has a lot to do with the several opportunities he encountered.
Of course it is possible for others.
However, Gongsun Li felt a little surprised that Xie Duanyang released him at this time.
This is equivalent to laying out a trump card in advance, and before it is dangerous, it stands to reason that it is only reasonable to wait until the treasure hunt is over to distribute the harvest.
Taking it out so impatiently only made him look down on his ambition and made it difficult for him to achieve great things.
Many thoughts were passing through his mind. Gongsunli kept his face silent and pondered for a moment before speaking out of curiosity.
"There are golden patterns on its back. Could it be that this spiritual insect, my fellow Taoist, is the legendary golden-backed demon mantis?"
It is said that this insect was ranked among the most ferocious in the ancient wilderness..."
The other party could recognize the origin of the golden-backed demon mantis. Xie Duanyang was slightly surprised and laughed.
"Zhang was also lucky enough to conquer this insect in that ancient monk's cave. Who knows where it came from.
Brother Gongsun has a sharp eye and will not admit his mistakes."
As he spoke, he secretly used his spiritual consciousness to relax the restrictions on the demon mantis.
This mantis has long been a little anxious, but over the years it has been completely subdued and controlled by Xie Duanyang, and it does not dare to disobey.
When he was let go, he was like a wild horse running wild.
However, he saw the two mantis swords rubbing against each other and killing the group of blood-bearded midges at a speed that was not commensurate with his huge body.
With just one knife, a lamb-sized demonic insect was cut open.
Scarlet blood splashed out.
But before it landed, a mass of gray-black demonic energy emerged from the mantis, dragging the blood and the two halves of its limbs to its side.
The demon mantis grinned, revealing its jagged steel teeth, and began to feast.
Xie Duanyang calmly looked at this picture.
I killed the nest of blood-bearded midges before, but it was nothing.
But when its essence and blood are refined and put away, the golden-backed demon mantis in the spirit beast bag becomes slightly restless, conveying the desired emotion of the debut.
At that time, he guessed that the blood-bearded midge, which is also a genus of demonic insects, would be beneficial to the praying mantis.
Now it seems that it is indeed true.
Otherwise, according to its nature, it must kill first and then enjoy the prey slowly.
Instead of just hunting one and then eagerly devouring it like now.
Although the bloodbeard midge dominates a large area of Blackwood Swamp, as a genus of insects, its own intelligence is not very good.
If it were another monster, after sensing the monster's cultivation strength, it would most likely take the opportunity to run away.
However, the remaining dozens of animals were inspired to become ferocious, and they all flapped their wings to kill the generals.
Not only the golden-backed demon mantis, but also the three people were spared.
This time, it's slightly different from before.
Last time, the thirty or so animals were divided into groups, with only about ten animals in each group.
However, these groups were so numerous and powerful that when they first took off, they actually felt like they were blocking out the sky and the sun.
Moreover, this group of blood-bearded midges of different sizes flapped their wings at the same time, creating a demonic aura.
It was a little chaotic at first, but soon the pace became consistent.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The qi machines are superimposed on each other, and the dark red demonic qi merges into one.
One by one, the ripples expand regularly.
Compared to that group, the power is more than doubled!
It seemed that what they were facing was not a group of second- and third-level low-level demonic insects, but the first five-level demonic beasts.
Gongsun Li's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to greet him.
This time, he no longer simply played the sword energy with his fingers, but took the jade flute and brought it to his lips.
However, its phonological rhythm is soft and soothing, and it is quiet and throaty.
The sword energy was arranged around him, woven vertically and horizontally.
Obviously, the purpose is not to kill, but to entangle and trap.
If a blood-bearded midge falls into it, it will not be immediately strangled by the sword energy, but it will also be difficult to break free.
The more you struggle, the more you will attract counterattacks.
"The pearls of rice also shine with brilliance!"
Probably seeing Xie Duanyang showing off their spiritual beast and sword skills, Luo Gui also aroused some desire to win.
I saw him shouting in a low voice, which was also a sacrifice of a treasure.
It's not the natal magic weapon, the Golden Fire Bell, nor the giant dragon-scale bow that was revealed before.
It's a translucent mask to protect it.
The flames on the surface of the cover stretch out, the flames are rising, and the power is extremely amazing.
Originally, hundreds of bloody midges gathered together and emitted sound waves, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
It's just because it's not as invisible and colorless as Gongsun Li's sword energy, so it's easier to guard against.
However, the dark red demonic cloud was ups and downs, transmitting its power, but when it fell in front of Luo Gui, it all turned into nothing, being destroyed by the flames.
The flame will even expand again along the connection between the air and the machine.
Such a combination of offense and defense made Xie Duanyang couldn't help but take a second look.
At first, the two of them exchanged tips on weapon refining skills through the name of the leader who presented him with water-proof beads.
The reason why Luo Gui was willing to spend so much money was because he wanted to improve his weapon refining skills so that he could repair the ancient treasure of the Divine Fire Shield that he had obtained a few years ago.
After a few years, it seems that he has gained something.
However, it seems that this divine fire shield has not yet been completely repaired.
When urging luck, there is something a little obscure and ineffective.
It’s no problem facing monsters or ordinary monks.
But if you are like yourself and Gongsun Li, who are skilled in swordsmanship and have strong spiritual awareness.
This flaw will be magnified ten times or dozens of times.
Gongsun Li and Luo Gui either wanted to test their spells or wanted to see the details of the golden-backed mantis, so they did not kill him.
The battle that was supposed to end quickly started to drag on.
But the golden-backed demon mantis still ignored it, still devouring the insect corpse with big mouthfuls, and ignored the bloodbeard midges that besieged it.
Originally, it was good at killing, and its protection was quite poor. It was far less thick-skinned and fleshy than other monsters.
However, those bloodbearded midges couldn't take advantage at all.
