"See you three adults. Thank you for your help, senior." The demon woman was the first to fly near Han Li, not daring to get too far forward. She stopped seven or eight feet away and saluted hurriedly.
said.
She briefly sensed the other side with her spiritual sense, and found that the auras of Han Li and the others were unfathomable, so her behavior naturally became more and more respectful.
"Who are you and where is the nearest city?" Han Li asked briefly and expressionlessly.
"Junior and others are crystal collectors from Luanyun Mountain. The nearest city is Black Gourd City in the north. If senior wants to go there, I am willing to lead the way there myself." The demon woman replied without thinking.
"I've never heard of Black Gourd City before. It's not necessary to lead the way, but please give me a map of this area." Han Li ordered politely.
"Junior happens to have the most detailed map of the nearby area. It is an honor for me to take it." The demon woman immediately took out a black stone piece from her body and offered it with both hands.
Han Li nodded, made a move with one hand, and with a "swish" sound, the stone piece fell into his hand. After sweeping his mind across it, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
At this time, other demons had also flown to the side of the woman, but they all stood there with their hands tied and did not dare to take a breath.
"Okay, now who can tell me, what are the borers you are talking about? I remember that I have never seen insect-like swarms in the Holy World before, and their breath is a little different from ordinary demonic insects." Han Li will
After collecting the stone pieces, he glanced at these demons and asked.
"Ah, seniors don't know about borers." The demon woman was startled when she heard this, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face. The other demons also made a commotion. After looking at each other, no one dared to speak easily.
"I have indeed not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. Is it any wonder that I don't recognize these borers?" Han Li said noncommittally, his expression unchanged.
"It turned out to be a secluded senior who practiced asceticism, so it's no wonder that he didn't know this swarm of borers. In fact, these evil insects only appeared in the past hundred years. It is said that they were originally ordinary demonic insects in the holy world. But for some reason, they suddenly appeared one after another.
A sudden change occurred, and it transformed into such a ferocious appearance. Now, the entire holy world is infested with these borers, and I heard that in some areas where there are too many borer swarms, towns have been besieged and massacred by borer swarms.
Now the entire holy world has been in turmoil because of this, and people are panicking." The demon woman quickly explained after her thoughts quickly changed.
"Massacre the city! Hehe, the Holy World is in trouble. Didn't the three ancestors and other Saint Ancestors take action to kill these borers? Although these borer swarms are much more powerful than ordinary demonic insects, they are still vulnerable to the presence of the Saint Ancestors.
"Han Li pondered for a moment and then asked slowly.
"My junior's cultivation is low. I really don't know anything about the ancestors and the saint ancestors. I just know that since these borers appeared, except for occasionally hearing about some places where borers are too serious, there are several saint ancestors.
Apart from strangulating some borer swarms, the senior saint ancestors and the three ancestors in most other areas seemed to have all disappeared at the same time." The demon woman hesitated for a moment before replying carefully.
"All the Saint Ancestors have disappeared! When did this happen?" Han Li's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he continued to ask without hesitation.
"The exact time, I can't say for sure, but it seems to be around the same time as the emergence of these borers." The demon woman replied respectfully.
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with your answer. You can go now." When Han Li heard this, he no longer had any doubts in his heart and gave a calm order.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now, junior and others." The demon woman felt relieved and respectfully agreed. After taking a few steps back, she turned around and flew away.
The other demons hurriedly bowed and followed suit.
In the blink of an eye, only Han Li and three others were left in the void nearby.
"Brother Han, it seems that the Mahayana beings in the demon world and our spiritual world are really in trouble, otherwise the situation in the demon world would not be so bad." Yinyue said with a sigh as soon as the demons walked away.
"Well, the current situation in the demon world is indeed not very good. But we have to find out more about what it is exactly. It seems that there are demon sages sitting in Black Gourd City. With their status as sages
.You should really know some news about those saint ancestors and our spiritual world Mahayana." Han Li said this, his face became a little solemn.
"Brother Han's words make sense, let's go to the Black Gourd City." Yinyue smiled sweetly after hearing this.
"Haha, before we go to this city, there is one more thing we need to do first." Han Li chuckled, and suddenly his sleeves flicked, and a gray glow flew out.
After the light converged in front of him, a giant gray insect about ten feet in size suddenly appeared on the ground.
It was the two-headed borer he captured earlier!
The aura of this insect is not weak, and it probably has the coercion around the late stage of becoming a god. It is obvious that its status in the insect swarm is not low.
As soon as this insect appeared, its wings vibrated wildly, and it wanted to fly into the air and escape.
But the next moment, a terrifying aura rose from Han Li's body to the sky.
The two-headed giant insect felt the air around it tighten, and its entire body was pressed to the ground again by an invisible force.
The two giant insects were shaking wildly, but their bodies could not move, and they could only make bursts of whining sounds.
When Yinyue saw the giant insect, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, his cuffs moved, one hand stretched out with five fingers, and he pressed the giant insect's head into the air.
There was a "chichi" sound.
Five crystal threads shot out of the air from the fingertips, and in a flash, they were submerged into the head of the giant insect.
The giant insect, which was struggling violently, trembled and suddenly became limp and motionless on the ground.
At the same time, Han Li's eyes were slightly closed, and a faint golden light circulated on his body.
He actually used the soul-searching technique directly on the giant insect.
Time passed little by little, and after a cup of tea, Han Li opened his eyes, and the crystal thread between his fingers curled up and pulled out of the giant insect's head, and then it turned into little crystal lights and disappeared into the void.
There was a "bang" sound.
The head of the giant insect swelled and shrank for a while, then suddenly exploded and shattered on its own.
Han Li moved his sleeves, and a fireball flew out, turning into billowing red flames and wrapping the insect corpse in it, and instantly turned into ashes.
"Brother Han, what information have you got?" Yinyue couldn't help but ask.
"No. These strange insects don't have real intelligence, they only have the simplest consciousness and instinct. I just wasted a lot of effort." Han Li looked a little strange, but shook his head and said.
"I see. This is not a strange thing. Although these borers suddenly became extremely vicious due to mutation, their spiritual intelligence cannot be turned on immediately. But to us, it is not a
Such bad news." Silver Moon turned her eyes and said with a smile.
"Well, indeed! If we just rely on instinct, no matter how large the number of these borers are, they will not pose a big threat to the existence of Mahayana. Let's go to the Black Gourd City now. I think we can get the real life there.
Information." Han Li replied with a slight smile.
As a result, the three people below escaped from the light together, and the direction changed and they shot towards the north.
One day later, Han Li and the others entered a plateau covered with black soil. After flying forward for several hours, a dark city covering an area of three to four hundred miles suddenly appeared vaguely in the distance.
From the map, it is the Black Gourd City Spirit that the demon woman said.
However, at this time, the demonic city was surrounded by a sea of gray insects from all directions, with loud killing cries shaking the sky.
There are so many borers in this sea of insects that everywhere you look, they are covered with overlapping gray insect shadows.
The number of borers in the insect cloud that Han Li had seen before was quite astonishing, but compared with the sea of insects in front of him, it immediately seemed dwarfed and could not be compared at all.
At this moment, the Black Gourd City was covered by a light black light curtain like a giant bowl.
Above the light curtain, no matter in the sky or on the city wall, there are layers of gray borers lying on it.
These densely packed monster insects waved their sharp claws or exposed their fangs, all frantically attacking the black light curtain.
On the top of the city and high in the sky within the light curtain, there were also densely packed demon figures. They either activated magic weapons of different levels, or directly activated their magic powers to frantically strangle the borers on the light curtain.
These attacking borers were obviously not of a very high level and could not withstand any attack from the demons. They would either explode and turn into a rain of blood, or they would be chopped off several times and fall from the sky.
In the Black Gourd City, even dense arrows flew out from the city like raindrops, piercing through and killing many borers one after another.
In the center of the black city, there are hundreds of tall towers looming, with electric lights and roars constantly swirling above them. Hundreds of black arcs shoot out from above every moment, and then turn into countless numbers at once.
A black electric wire fell outside the light curtain, instantly turning countless borers into ashes.
On the surface, it seems that the demons in the city are protected by restrictions and can only attack with all their strength, and they seem to have the upper hand.
But what kind of person is Han Li? The blue light in his eyes flashed slightly, and he saw the real situation in the city clearly, and his brows subconsciously frowned slightly.
In just this moment, the black light curtain covering the top of the city became dimmer than before, and the demons on the top of the city who were still attacking desperately turned pale and panted.
It's starting to look like it's overdrawn.
Suddenly, the roaring in the city suddenly stopped, and the black lightning on the hundreds of tall towers disappeared silently, and the attack stopped.
