Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters in a crisis
Whoop!
A ball of water light enveloped the body of the big man with beard, and the void fluctuated for a while. The next moment, the body of the big man with beard disappeared without a trace, leaving the giant claws of the King of Earth to grab the empty space.
However, his Green Mountain Token remained and fell downwards.
Almost in the blink of an eye, two of the demon clans in the early stages of the three levels died on the spot, and one was injured and escaped from the secret realm.
The faces of other people nearby changed drastically, showing fear, and they were about to flee.
At this moment, a piercing scream came out, and a huge green light shot out from the ground, turned into a huge wind blade, and disappeared into the belly of King Tuqiu in a flash.
The Turtle King roared wildly, and his huge body rolled and danced wildly in the air under the extreme pain. Blood surged out from under the body and soon dyed half of the body red.
At this moment, a green figure flew out from the ground. It was Ji Jiang who appeared in his true form. The dark green flames around him suddenly rose and turned into five spiral flame pillars, shooting towards the five surrounding people.
The earthen horns shot away quickly.
Due to the extremely fast speed of the fire pillar, the five earth-claws were hit one after another before they could avoid it. Their bodies were immediately wrapped in dark green flames, and they let out shrill screams as they swung their bodies desperately, trying to get rid of the flames on their bodies.
Several other monsters around him were overjoyed when they saw this. The spiritual weapons in their hands flashed with light, and they took the opportunity to attack.
At the same time, Ji Jiang's two thick front paws danced wildly, and once again fought with the injured King Tuqiu.
King Tuqiu had been seriously injured due to his continuous one-horned attacks. At this moment, he was somewhat defeated by Ji Jiang and was retreating steadily.
"Nine Transformations of Wind and Fire!"
Ji Jiang screamed ferociously, his wings flapped rapidly, and nine identical green figures suddenly appeared around him.
There was a flash of green light, and nine figures passed over the One-horned Turtle's body very quickly, as fast as thunder and lightning.
A shrill scream was heard, blood suddenly appeared, and the huge body of the One-horned Turtle was cut into several pieces and fell from the air.
Green light flashed continuously, and nine figures merged into one.
"What a powerful secret technique! It exploded with twice the combat power almost instantly!" From a distance, Shi Mu was shocked. Although this Ji Jiang was only at the early stage of the earth level, his strength was probably close to that of the ordinary late stage people in the outside world.
King Tu Qiu was killed, and other Tu Qiu panicked. They were rushed by Ji Jiang, making the chaos even more chaotic.
When Shi Mu saw this, he smiled slightly, and finally withdrew his gaze and continued to slash at the tuqiu in front of him with his sword, but his strength was slightly increased.
"kill!"
The crowd's morale was so high that they launched a massive counterattack, and soon many of them were beheaded.
A quarter of an hour later, the last hornet was killed.
Everyone looked exhausted, and most of the energy and mana in their bodies had been consumed, so they fell to the ground to rest.
After paying the price of three people, this ambush was a near miss, but the morale of the remaining people was also somewhat low.
Ji Jiang dug out the demon cores from the earth hornets present, as well as the demon cores from the three tokens left behind, and distributed them equally among the people present, and everyone's mood became a little higher.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, this is still just outside the secret realm, how come there are so many earth-level monsters? Something is not normal." A young man from the red-clothed monster tribe said.
Hearing this, other people looked at Ji Jiang one after another.
"Yes, there is actually a mid-level Tu Qiu King!"
"It seems that this stone forest is a bit weird. We'd better not continue and change the direction."
"According to the information collected by my family, this kind of earth turtle should not appear in the outer world of Shifang."
Shi Mu listened to the words of the people around him with a silent expression and said nothing.
"Brother Shi, what do you think?" Zi Ling was sitting next to Shi Mu and asked.
"It's indeed a bit weird." Shi Mu replied seemingly casually.
"So, Brother Shi also agrees not to move forward?" Zi Ling hesitated for a moment.
"Haha, if you want to join the Qinglan Holy Land, how can you just avoid danger?" Shi Mu chuckled.
"Brother Shi is right. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs!" Zi Ling nodded and replied seriously.
"Everyone, the appearance of this batch of earth turtles is indeed a bit strange, but I just checked. The reason why those earth turtles appeared here is due to the appearance of a yellow mineral ore underground. This yellow mineral is the favorite food of earth turtles.
." Ji Jiang had been walking back and forth in the fierce fighting place since the beginning, and now he came over and said.
"Huangjing Mine? No wonder..." A demon youth said after hearing this.
"It seems we were unlucky and just bumped into each other." Another person also said.
Shi Mu frowned slightly and used his spiritual consciousness to explore the ground.
However, as the spiritual consciousness penetrated hundreds of feet underground, it could no longer move forward. The intersection of countless magnetic forces in the ground blocked the spiritual consciousness from going deeper.
After going so far, Shi Mu still did not find the Huangjing mineral in Jijiang Mouth.
He glanced at Ji Jiang and frowned slightly.
"Everyone, since we have participated in this trial, I believe that you all have come here with ambitions. How can you shrink back just because you encounter a little danger?" Ji Jiang persuaded with an excited look.
Upon hearing this, many young and passionate demon youths present had their eyes light up again.
"Two fellow Taoists died just now, and one escaped from the secret realm, all because of a momentary mistake on my part. I promise that I will be careful and do my best to protect everyone's safety on the next journey." Ji Jiang promised.
After hearing this, everyone present nodded and expressed their willingness to continue moving forward.
"This Ji Jiang is really eloquent. He can talk about life even if he is dead!" Zi Ling said with a low smile.
"Fellow Daoist Ziling, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous if you continue to move forward. If you have no choice, crush the jade pendant and leave. After all, life is the most important thing." Shi Mu said in a low voice.
"Thank you, Brother Shi, for reminding me. I will pay attention." Zi Ling was silent for a moment and nodded.
The group rested for a while, recovered their mana, and then continued moving forward.
The situation ahead remained unchanged, it was still a vast grassland, but the stone forest gradually became much sparser.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The number and strength of the monsters everyone encountered in the past two days were still within the normal range. Although there were also earth-level monsters appearing among them, there were only one or two.
On this day, everyone used their own methods and flew silently forward.
Shi Mu looked around and saw that the grassland here had gradually begun to have some ups and downs, like a hilly land.
"We should be out of this outer area soon." He was thinking in his heart, and was planning when to start acting alone.
Cai'er had been taken back into the spirit beast bag the day before, because as the secret realm deepened, some flying monsters began to appear nearby. For safety reasons, Cai'er could only be recalled first.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly and he looked to the left.
"Brother Shi, what's wrong?" Zi Ling was right next to Shi Mu and was the first to notice something strange about him and asked.
Before she finished speaking, billowing sand and dust suddenly appeared in front of her, forming a tornado column with a diameter of dozens of meters.
The grassland grass and vegetation on the ground were uprooted, and a layer of the ground was scraped off. They were all swept up by the strong wind, which increased its power and blocked the sky and the sun and moved toward everyone.
"Careful!" someone shouted.
Everyone present saw the astonishing power of the wind pillar and fled away one after another.
The green light flashed in the huge tornado column and suddenly split apart.
A wind pillar turned into three smaller tornadoes, like a huge wind dragon, chasing the people who were dodging in all directions. One of them happened to hit Shi Mu, Zi Ling and several surrounding monsters.
The wind pillar was so fast that it caught up with several people in just a few breaths.
Shi Mu stopped for a moment, holding the meteorite black knife in his hand, his eyes shining brightly.
Clang! A cold sound of trembling gold and iron sounded!
A black blade light of more than ten feet long appeared on the meteorite black sword, exuding a cold and pure sword intent.
The tornado column roared towards Shi Mu, like a giant mouth, swallowing him in one bite.
Shi Mu snorted coldly, swung his black sword, and a huge black sword light emerged, slashing towards the wind pillar head-on.
With a flash of black light, the wind pillar was easily split in half, turning into a strong wind and flying away.
A "clang" sound!
A group of cyan figures flew out from the center of the wind pillar and collided head-on with the black sword light.
Shi Mu felt a huge force coming in, and his whole body was shaken back several steps before he could barely stand still.
The cyan figure was also knocked away, flying several feet away. When it stabilized its figure, it turned out to be a cyan monster the size of a house.
This beast resembles a lion or a tiger, with a head of fluffy hair, a streamlined body, and an extremely long tail, twice as long as the front half of its body.
Shi Mu frowned, and the green monster looked over fiercely. It had just collided head-on with the meteorite black knife, but it was not damaged at all.
"Feng Linghuan!" A red-faced demon man was shocked.
Shi Mu was shocked. After he came to the Eastern Saint Star, he bought a lot of books, including introductions to the powerful monsters of this planet.
This Feng Linghuan has been solemnly introduced. It is a strange beast with two attributes of wind and earth. It has an extremely cruel temperament and is good at controlling strong winds and sneak attacks on prey. Warriors of the same level often avoid it when they encounter it.
These thoughts flashed through Shi Mu's mind instantly, but he did not show any fear and held the black knife in front of him.
At the same time, the other two wind pillars were also destroyed, and there were also two wind spirit beasts hidden inside.
The strength of any one of the three-headed wind spirits is superior to that of the Tuqiu King. The appearance of the three heads together is far more than the people present can handle.
Many people's faces were full of fear, and even Himejiang looked a little ugly. On the contrary, Shi Mu and Zi Ling were slightly calmer.
"roar!"
Feng Linghuan, who was in front of Shi Mu and others, had a fierce light in his eyes and slowly approached them, his body lit up with a green light.
Shi Mu's face darkened, the energy in his body surged, and the light on the meteorite black knife also lit up.
At this moment, there was a loud sound in the distance!
A red escaping light flew from a distance, pulling a long tail, like a meteor, with an astonishing speed, reaching the sky above everyone's heads in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.)
