Seeing this, the young man named Zhu and the beautiful woman both showed expressions of satisfaction, and the surrounding cultivators were also very happy.
Although with their cultivation level, dealing with this mere swarm of black blood ants would have been an overkill, but completing the first step of the trip so smoothly is naturally a good omen.
The young man surnamed Zhu raised his hand and touched the incense burner. The green sandalwood in the burner went out without any warning. It turned into a ball of yellow light and fell into his hand. He turned it over again and disappeared without a trace. But immediately the glow came.
There was another flash, and a set of silver flags appeared instead.
Each rod is only a few inches long, with many purple runes and some thunder and lightning patterns imprinted on it, giving people a mysterious and unusual feeling!
"Now that the threat of black blood ants is gone, we are going to enter the nest of the real toad beast in the mountains. This set of Xuanqing Heavenly Thunder Flags, a few Taoist friends can come over and take one each." The silver-haired young man looked at him.
He glanced at several of the monks and said slowly.
Immediately after these people looked at each other, they immediately flew forward, and one of them took a small flag from his hand. Among them was the old man surnamed Liu.
"Okay, except for Fellow Daoist Zhao and Fellow Daoist Xun who stay outside to be on the lookout, the rest of the group should leave with me and my wife." After the young man ordered an old man and a middle-aged man, he and the beautiful woman transformed.
Heading straight for the giant mountain for two startling rainbows.
The others did not hesitate, and also drove Dun Guang to follow.
Only the old man and the middle-aged man who were named looked at each other and gave a wry smile. They immediately said goodbye and disappeared again.
Other monks had already followed the young couple surnamed Zhu into the heart of the mountain from a seemingly natural cave entrance somewhere in the mountain.
After a while, Han Li and others appeared in a damp and dark underground passage.
The passage is full of stalactites hanging upside down, the walls are covered with water drops, and the ground is extremely slippery, with nameless moss growing several inches high. The entire passage is winding and rugged, extending diagonally underground.
Fortunately, this naturally formed passage was finally wide enough to prevent the people who were flying slowly a few feet above the ground from actually advancing on foot.
Han Li kept looking around. Occasionally, when some surprisingly large poisonous insects flew towards him from certain gaps, they were pierced by the red threads shot out from his fingers and turned into ashes.
Next to him was the Fairy Xiao.
This woman also had a cautious look on her face, and she had a white light shield that flickered in and out all over her body. No matter what kind of poisonous insect jumped on it, it would immediately turn into a ball of crystal ice and fall to the ground.
Not only Han Li and this woman, but the other monks also used various small methods to kill any poisonous insects that dared to get close to them.
Although these insects are inconspicuous, no one dares to bite one of them.
After all, there are countless weird things in the wild world. Even ordinary poisonous insects that seem to have no climate can kill a high-level monk immediately.
This kind of thing has not happened before.
The cultivators moved down quickly, and fewer and fewer people spoke in the team. Finally, the entire team became quiet. Except for the poisonous insects that were being killed "poof", there was no sound anymore.
The passage is not too dark. There are some unknown stones on the walls from time to time that emit a faint glimmer of light. They seem to be quite similar to the moonstones commonly used by human monks.
In this way, it would be easier for Han Li and others to move forward.
After walking down for a while, Han Li's expression suddenly changed and he glanced meaningfully at the front of the team, as if he had discovered something.
At the same time, the silver-haired young man walking at the front also frowned and suddenly stopped in front of the beautiful woman.
Then the voice of the young man named Zhu immediately sounded in the ears of Han Li and others.
"Everyone, please be careful. I sensed two insect beasts appearing in front of me, approaching the aura of the gods, blocking our way. There may be other insect beasts nearby, and I can't send out too many spiritual thoughts to check. Someone must get there first.
Let’s confirm with our own eyes what kind of insect it is. Be careful and don’t do anything yet!”
Everyone was startled, but immediately someone stood up and said:
"Let me go down and have a look. I don't have any other magical powers, and I am somewhat confident in my escape skills. I don't know if Senior Zhu can trust me."
"Haha, it turns out to be Brother You. Fellow Taoist's Wind Escape Technique is extremely wonderful. Zhu is just what he wants." As soon as the silver-haired young man saw the man clearly, his face suddenly burst into smiles.
This person is actually the old man in a bamboo hat who asked questions at the Ice Palace before setting off.
The old man laughed when he heard this, and a breeze suddenly blew by him, and the person disappeared without a trace.
Sure enough, it was the magical and unusual wind escape technique.
Others stopped where they were and waited quietly. Many people were secretly interested in the insect beast that suddenly appeared in front of them.
After just one meal, the old man's figure reappeared in the breeze, and the position was exactly where he had disappeared. If not for all the monks who were watching intently, they would have thought that the old man had never left at all.
As soon as the old man's entire figure appeared, he immediately bowed to the young couple named Zhu and said:
"You have already checked. There are two black vortex beasts in front of you. I'm afraid it's going to be a bit troublesome."
"Black Vortex Beast!" Upon hearing this, the monks in the passage became commotion again.
Many people had surprises on their faces, and even the young man named Zhu couldn't help but frown.
Information about the Black Vortex Beast immediately came to Han Li's mind.
The Black Vortex Beast is also a kind of insect beast. This beast is not too scary, but when it appears here, it is a big trouble.
Because this beast has no other abilities, but it is naturally proficient in water and thunder escape techniques, and it is also as timid as a mouse. It will run away at the slightest sign of trouble. What is even more helpless is that this insect beast also has a name.
The "Drumming Beast" will make a strange sound like a giant drum when it detects an enemy. The sound is so loud that it can penetrate hundreds of miles away.
Therefore, some major sects and practitioners of great supernatural powers from the human and demon tribes simply tamed this beast and placed it in some key places to serve as a warning.
If it fails to achieve the first-level kill, it will definitely alarm other insect beasts in the entire giant mountain. Only God knows what will happen.
"This is really a bit tricky! Although I am a Void Refining monk, my magical powers are not good at concealment. The black whirlpool beast is not weak in terms of smell and spiritual thoughts. My wife is not weak in escape skills.
Be sure to deal with one of them. If you want to deal with the other one, another Taoist friend will need to take action." The young man surnamed Zhu thought for a while before speaking to everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the old man surnamed You.
"I definitely can't do it. I can get close to them with my Wind Escape Technique without any problem, but the Black Vortex Beast has rough skin and thick flesh. The magical power I have cultivated cannot kill with one hit. I will miss important things." The old man kept saying.
waving hands.
Seeing this, the silver-haired young man smiled bitterly and looked at the other monks in the late stage of spiritual transformation.
These people also frowned, and they all looked unsure. Without full confidence, who would dare to accept such a matter that is related to the entire plan. And being proficient in escape techniques and one-hit-kill magical powers at the same time is indeed somewhat
What is difficult for others to do.
Seeing this, the young man named Zhu's face gradually darkened.
A matter that has been planned for several years will be completely ruined because of a mere insect?
"Can't you use Earth Escape to get around it?" A monk asked with some confusion.
"If I could go around it, would I still have such a headache? There is a huge spiritual magnet vein somewhere in this mountain. Once it escapes into the mountain rocks, all beings with spiritual power will be forcibly restrained and sucked away by it. But as long as it is not
Even if you use the Earth Escape Technique, it won't cause any serious problems.
"Spiritual Magnet Vein!" Many people took a breath and changed their expressions when they heard this.
The person who asked the question looked even more ugly.
For a time, no one dared to speak easily!
"Senior, if I can kill the other one, the real toad's blood will be divided into the next one." A lazy voice suddenly came from the monks.
The person who spoke was surprisingly Han Li, who was standing at the end of the team. The pretty woman beside him was a little stunned when he heard the words.
"Why, are fellow Daoist Han confident about solving this beast? If it can be done, it would not be impossible to give fellow daoist an extra share of the true toad spiritual blood. But if it fails..." The young man surnamed Zhu was also surprised when he saw it was Han Li.
, replied with some hesitation.
Obviously, he still doesn't think highly of Han Li, a mid-stage god-transformation monk.
"Hey, don't worry, senior. If I make a mistake and suffer any losses, I will just be responsible for compensating for it." Han Li smiled lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Han seems to be really confident. Okay, the other insect beast will be handed over to fellow daoist." The young man named Zhu was very decisive. He just pondered for a while and actually nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, the other monks were whispering for a while and looking at Han Li with different expressions. Some even showed unabashed suspicion.
"But just in case, Fellow Daoist You, please hide in there and assist Fellow Daoist Han!" The young man named Zhu changed his voice and said to the old man in the bamboo hat.
"Okay, you can leave this to me." This time, the old man agreed.
So below, after the young man surnamed Zhu moved his lips slightly and said a few words to the beautiful woman, the woman made a hand seal, and suddenly red clouds appeared on the surface of her body, and she disappeared in a flash.
But Han Li took out a purple talisman and slapped it on his body. Suddenly, the silver runes were tumbling and disappeared without a trace.
However, the old man still used the wind escape technique and caught the wind and escaped.
Under the guidance of the old man, Han Li and the beautiful woman only flew forward for a while before arriving at their destination.
In the much wider passage in front, two huge fat insects, white and fat, were each lying on a stone wall, gnawing at an unknown moss on it.
