The remaining two spiritual horses obviously realized that their companions were being rounded up, and after an anxious neighing sound, their speed suddenly increased a bit.
However, the surrounding smoke had already filled the air, and the spirit horse was unable to escape after all. It was enveloped in the surrounding smoke and struggled for a few times before falling down weakly.
The other horse had better luck. Finally, before the gray smoke closed up, it kicked the ground with its hind hooves and turned into a snow-white horse. It jumped out, but the direction it ran happened to be towards Liu Ming.
This spirit horse obviously thought that Liu Ming was also the one being rounded up. He suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out seven or eight green wind blades several feet in size, shooting towards Liu Ming head-over-heels.
Liu Ming frowned, and several black tentacles suddenly appeared on his body. With a gentle flick, these wind blades were swept away.
The spirit horse's figure stagnated, its monster instinct instantly made it feel Liu Ming's power, and the delay of the gate also determined its fate.
A "whoosh" sound!
A large golden net suddenly shot out from behind, and with a flash of golden light, it covered its body head-on.
The next moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed not far in front of Liu Ming. After the light converged, a burly man wearing a golden robe was revealed. Judging from his aura, he had reached the middle stage of condensation.
"Haha, thank you fellow Taoist for helping me." The big man glanced at Liu Ming and smiled generously.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist, it's just a little effort." Liu Ming said calmly.
When he just took action, it was indeed a subconscious defense.
When the sturdy man heard this, he still nodded and smiled, and shot a magic spell with one hand,
The large golden net instantly wrapped the spirit horse tightly into a ball, and was put into a leather bag on the waist with one hand.
Several other people not far away also saw Liu Ming, and immediately flew over with wary faces. One of them, a younger woman, even put her hand on a jade pendant around her waist.
"Thanks to this fellow Taoist for helping me just now, don't be rude to this fellow Taoist." Seeing this, the sturdy man immediately frowned and scolded,
In this small team, he is the only one who is in the middle stage of liquid condensation, and the others are only at the early stage.
This group is relatively weak among the hunting groups in Tianma Grassland.
As the leader of this group of people, the sturdy man was naturally very knowledgeable. Just from the scene where Liu Ming shattered seven or eight wind blades with his movements, he knew that the other party's cultivation level was by no means weaker than his own.
"Young people are ignorant, please don't blame me. By the way, fellow Taoist monks looked at each other. They must have just arrived at the Tianma Grassland. Are you interested in cooperating and hunting spiritual horses together?" The big man shouted and retreated after a few people behind him.
, and invited with a smile on his face.
"I have other important matters, so I can't delay here. I can only thank you fellow Taoist for your kindness." Liu Ming naturally refused.
He didn't come to Tianma Grassland just for this spiritual stone. If he hadn't been a little curious about this famous spiritual horse just now, he wouldn't have stopped here at all.
"That's such a pity. In the picture below, Yuan Zhen is quite famous in the city near Heihe River. If you change your mind, fellow Taoist, you can come to me at any time." A look of regret appeared on the face of the sturdy man.
He still said enthusiastically.
After Liu Ming nodded, he said goodbye directly, turned into a black light again, and continued towards the direction of Amano Ancient City.
Finally, after flying for several more days, he finally arrived at a high ground.
Looking from a distance, there is a huge city not far away covering an area of 100 meters. There are many large and small rough buildings in the city. The main castle built of bluestone in the center is thousands of feet high. It is like a mountain peak, overlooking the city.
Everything about the prairie.
However, nowadays, the surface of these buildings has long been weathered and peeled off, and many of them are dilapidated and collapsed. Only by looking at the whole city from a distance can we vaguely see a glimpse of the city's former prosperity.
According to records in the classics, the origin of this ancient city can be traced back to more than ten thousand years ago. Many people, including mortal monks, lived in this city. It was prosperous for a while. However, it unexpectedly declined for some unknown reason.
"This is the ancient city of Amano." Liu Ming took the jade map slip off his forehead, his eyes flashed a few times, and he murmured to himself.
At this moment, a man in black drove the clouds and flew out of the city. He seemed to have spotted Liu Ming standing on the high ground not far away. A look of alert suddenly appeared on his face. He walked away from the distance and walked towards the distance.
Fly away.
Liu Ming didn't pay attention. After a rough look, he looked away.
According to the map, although the ancient city of Amano has long been occupied by residents, it is not deserted. Many monks nearby will use this place as a temporary residence.
With the increasing number of people coming to the grassland to hunt, some places for private exchange of goods also appeared in this abandoned ancient city. Naturally, it was not called a market. Over time, Jinge Zong and Wanshoutan also acquiesced in this kind of thing.
Phenomenon.
Liu Ming soared into the city, only to find that the place was not as desolate as he had imagined. Occasionally, he could see one or two monks appearing on the streets of the city. Of course, they all looked wary and deliberately kept their distance.
some distance.
In addition, there are even a few grocery stores on the roadside.
But overall, this place is still an extremely deserted dead city.
Although there were very few people on the street, Liu Ming could detect eyes coming from some dilapidated old stone houses from time to time.
It's no wonder that many passers-by will hide in some abandoned buildings in the city as temporary bases to rest. There are small groups of several people, and there are also solo travelers like him.
Liu Ming couldn't help but frown slightly, the situation here was a little different from what he expected.
He immediately sped up his flight speed, quickly entered the depths of the city, found a relatively secluded and relatively complete room, and landed nearby.
As soon as Liu Ming entered the room, after looking around for a while, he turned his hands and took out two sets of formation flags. After placing two defensive restrictions, he sat cross-legged and began to close his eyes and rest.
I heard that I had been fighting and running fast along the way, and I had never had a good rest. I was really tired now.
Liu Ming sat quietly all night. It was not until the next day that he recovered energetically and thought about it carefully.
Although the time and place where the ancient demon clan relics he got from Beidou Pavilion was only a rough idea, looking at the situation here, it was clear that there was no sign of the relics appearing in the world yet.
If this is the case, he may have to stay in this ancient city for a while longer.
After Liu Ming thought about it, he decided to go out and inquire about the situation in the city.
Not long after, he came to an old street where the grocery stores he saw when he entered the city were located.
Less than half an hour later, he walked out of a shop with a serious look on his face. He didn't stay outside and went directly back to his residence.
It is possible to open a grocery store in a place like this. The shopkeepers are not simple people, but they are also people who regard money as life. He spent some spiritual stones and quickly got some information he wanted to know.
There are now more than double the number of practitioners in Amano Ancient City than usual, and most of them are magic monks who practice magic techniques.
The purpose of these people coming here is the same as his. They gathered here after learning about the imminent emergence of ancient demon clan ruins through various channels.
However, such small ancient ruins often appear in Zhongtian Continent, and they are not too unusual.
For ordinary small ruins, most of the restrictions have been damaged due to too long time. However, without the protection of special restrictions, elixirs, spiritual weapons and other things will lose all their spiritual power and become useless, so there are very few
High-ranking monks are rarely interested in such ruins.
The reason why the demonic monks gathered here was not because of the discarded elixirs and artifacts inside, but because of the ancient pure demonic energy that might exist inside the ruins after they were revealed.
For demonic monks, pure demonic energy is thousands of times better than any elixir or spiritual weapon. After all, there are not many places where you can find pure demonic energy on the Zhongtian Continent. If you are lucky, you can absorb one or two.
A wisp of true demonic energy would be an even greater opportunity.
However, compared with ordinary demonic energy, few people can detect and successfully collect the true demonic energy in time. Often, it will be completely dissipated within one or two hours after the ancient ruins appear. Therefore, in the first one or two hours after the ruins appear,
It is also the time when the competition among many magic cultivators is fiercest, so it is not surprising that they would take action because of this.
After Liu Ming learned this information, he calmed down and returned to his residence in the ancient city, no longer going out to practice quietly, and concentrated on waiting for the relic to appear.
As time went by and monks from all walks of life continued to enter, chaos gradually became chaotic in the ancient city of Amano. From time to time, one or two explosions could be vaguely heard in the distance.
There was even a time when two demonic monks fought in an open space near Liu Ming's house, but as long as it did not affect Liu Ming, they naturally did not intervene.
Half a month later, in another open space in Amano Ancient City, a pale-faced, extremely handsome young man was standing on the ruins of a broken wall with his hands behind his back, his blood-colored clothes rustling in the wind.
In front of him, there was a loud "bang", and a huge blood cloud suddenly exploded, turning into billowing blood gas and filling the air.
As the blood energy slowly drained away, five men dressed in black suddenly appeared, but they all looked embarrassed at the moment!
The leader among them was covered in blood and was breathing heavily.
The remaining four people were also in ragged clothes and looked extremely pale. They had obviously suffered considerable injuries.
And on the ground where a few people were, a large crater several feet in size was blasted out.
"Are you convinced yet?" The young man in blood shirt said calmly.
After the five men in black looked at each other for a while, the leader quickly took a few steps forward.
"The five of us attacked together, but we couldn't even touch the corner of your clothes. You are worthy of being the famous son of the Blood Emperor. We, the five evil spirits, are willing to obey the master's orders from now on." The leader said, bending down and bowing down.
Go down.
Seeing this, the four people behind him also knelt down on the ground.
"Very good. If that's the case, then accept my young master's mark." Hearing this, the Blood Emperor revealed a sinister smile. He raised his sleeves and robes, and five bloody runes flew out and fell one after another.
On the foreheads of five people.
