The man was startled, and subconsciously threw the skull, and then shot a blue light from the center of Gu Qing's eyebrows, hitting the skull with a "chi" sound.
With a "crash", the entire skull immediately turned into ashes and flew everywhere. At the same time, a black light flew out from inside, flashed in the air, turned into three, and rushed towards the three people around it at the same time.
.
"ah!"
Those people quickly raised their magic weapons to resist, but with a "pop" sound, a bright red hole appeared on one of them's forehead, and a trail of blood flowed from it. The man groaned and fell down.
On the ground, his eyes were wide open and lifeless.
However, the other two black lights were intercepted by the blue light emitted from Gu Qing's forehead, fell to the ground, rolled over, and revealed his true face.
Only then did everyone discover that the black light was an ugly insect. The insect looked chubby, several times larger than an earthworm, and had a protrusion similar to an iron cone on its head. At this moment
, the waists of these two evil insects were cut open, and a fishy smell flowed out from inside. They kept twisting their bodies...
"Could this be the legendary ancient insect - the blood-devouring insect?" Sun Miaoke turned his beautiful eyes and said hesitantly.
Gu Qing raised his head, glanced at him, and asked, "Hemodevouring Insect? What's the origin?"
"This insect specifically feeds on human blood and essence. It only takes ten of them appearing at the same time to turn a person into a skeleton in a matter of seconds. In the ancient land, there once was a horrific insect plague that destroyed the entire planet controlled by several human monks.
All that Bang devoured was piles of corpses and a sea of bones.
Later, several powerful saints appeared and jointly set up countless restrictions to destroy these blood-devouring worms. However, the seven-headed ancestral worms were left behind, and even with their powerful strength, they could not be completely eliminated. In the end,
They can only use their great supernatural powers to seal them in seven space gaps respectively." Sun Miaoke explained.
Others were at a loss when they heard these explanations. They had never heard of this.
Gu Qing remembered that there were indeed some records in this regard in the records of some "people of enlightenment" on the wall of the room in Sun Miaoke's clan.
However, the records related to this aspect are only a few words and not too detailed.
"So, all the dead bones in this city were caused by blood-eating insects?" Gu Qing asked.
Others were also shocked. Several of them stepped down hard, and as the bones shattered, ferocious blood-eating insects flew out from inside.
Everyone was well prepared and immediately took action at the same time. With a "boom", the surroundings turned into a sea of fire, and all the blood-eating insects that had just flown were burned up. Others were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they heard the bones all over the city.
With a "creak, creak" sound, all these skeletons started to move.
"No, the blood-eating insects all over the city have been alarmed just now. Let's leave quickly!"
When everyone saw this, their expressions changed greatly. They jumped into the air at the same time, determined the direction, and galloped towards the west of this ancient deserted city. But below, there was a dense mass of blood-eating insects, like clusters of black clouds, rising one after another.
It pounced, and a huge "squeak" sound resounded across the sky.
As everyone retreated, they sacrificed countless magic weapons and killed the approaching black cloud.
Although the number of these blood-eating insects is large, their level is not high. With a full blow, everyone can actually shoot down hundreds of them at once.
But they soon discovered that among these blood-devouring insects, there was a kind of blood-devouring insect with thin wings on its back, which was very difficult to deal with. Only two or three pseudo-psychic monks could destroy it at the same time. However, taking a wind and thunder boat
Most of them are monks at the separation stage and below, and there are very few who can truly reach the early stage of pseudo-channeling.
They galloped continuously for an hour. Along the way, monks were constantly entangled by the blood-eating insects and were quickly devoured into a pile of bones, becoming one of the thousands of bones on the ground.
Although Gu Qing is only at the Qi Condensation Stage, he has a Five Immortals Divine Sword under his feet and with Sun Miaoke, his speed can even exceed that of a strong person in the middle stage of psychic. All of this is due to his huge spiritual consciousness.
This can only be done with the support of others. Only three of them can barely keep up with his speed and throw away the people behind him by a large margin.
However, even in front of them, groups of blood-eating insects kept flying out, flapping their wings, chasing and intercepting them.
Gu Qing is naturally experienced in dealing with this kind of heaven and earth insects. He can always pass through the gaps between these blood-eating insects before they close up, and avoid them with great difficulty. Even if there are one or two blocking the way.
, were all killed by the blue sword light emitted from his forehead.
The three people following him didn't take them seriously at first, but they saw that the opponent's speed was getting faster and faster, and every step of the path they chose seemed to have been carefully calculated.
Shocked, these people quickly discussed something and followed them from a distance.
But others were not so lucky. As more and more blood-eating worms were found in the city, a black mass surrounded them all. After a short time, these blood-eating worms dispersed, and there were more and more blood-eating worms on the ground.
There was a piece of white bone, but it was fresher than the others.
The entire Ziyun Fantasy City is very vast. They flew for a whole day without reaching the end. However, they had already flown past the area controlled by the blood-devouring insect swarm. Along the way, there were ruins and dark yellow soil below.
Half of the wall collapsed, and some purple-red stone pillars stood tall. Occasionally, a few unknown birds perched on them. Their eyes were tilted upward, shooting cold gazes, giving people an indescribable chill.
They stopped in front of an ancient temple that was relatively intact. The ground was a patch of gravel and there were several broken stone pillars standing there.
"If fellow Taoist hadn't led the way just now, we and the others wouldn't have been able to escape from the swarm of blood-devouring insects. I'm really grateful. What do you call me, fellow Taoist?" After what happened just now, these people no longer dare to be petty.
He looked down on Gu Qing and quickly made friends with them.
Although Gu Qing appears to be just a monk in the Qi Condensation stage, these people don't see it that way. They estimate that the other party may have deliberately concealed his powerful cultivation and did not want to be exposed. They can tell just from the opponent's speed.
, the other party’s cultivation level should be higher than that of yourself and others.
"My surname is Gu and my name is Qing. You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoists. We are all trapped in Ziyun Fantasy City now. Only by working together can we get out of this dangerous situation. You may wish to report your names so that we can get to know each other.
It will be easy to cooperate next time.”
Gu Qing said lightly.
The three people took it for granted, and immediately reported their families without concealing anything. It turned out that these three people had quite a lot of backgrounds. Two of them, one was a guard of Jinlei City, and the other was a member of a noble family in Jinlei City.
guest minister, and the third one has a greater origin, he is the young master of the lord of Dawn City.
Riding the Wind and Thunder Boat is very expensive. Anyone who can afford it will naturally have a certain status. Ordinary casual cultivators will basically not waste fairy stones on it. Therefore, after they reported their names and identities,
Gu Qing didn't care either.
"You often travel between Jinlei City and Dawn City, so you should know something about Ziyun Fantasy City? I heard that some people once walked out of Ziyun Fantasy City alive. What is the specific situation? Who can tell me
Could you please tell me?" Gu Qing glanced at them calmly and then asked.
Chen Yucheng, the young master of the city lord of Dawn City, pondered for a moment and said, "I once read my records about Ziyun Fantasy City. Although I don't know its origin, it does contain many unknown secrets. From Ziyun
There are indeed some monks who came out of Yunhuan City alive, but not many. Moreover, these people died one after another within a few years, and no one even knows the reason for their death.
According to the records in the classics, some of these people accidentally encountered a certain teleportation array and were teleported out of the city. Some were inexplicably hit by a blue light and taken out. Even they themselves did not know what happened.
Why does that blue light appear?”
Gu Qing lowered his head and said nothing. It was a bit unexpected that he died a few years after walking out of Ziyun Fantasy City. However, since Chen Yucheng said it, it must not be groundless. It seems that there must be something weird in this city, so he must be careful.
Looking at the others, their faces were pale, and they were obviously very frightened. Especially Sun Miaoke, whose delicate body was trembling slightly, and she felt a little trembling with her arms folded. She moved towards Gu Qing, it seemed that this was the only way to give
She brings a little sense of security.
"Let's enter the ancient palace first and see if we can find the teleportation array." Gu Qing also knew that nothing he said could make this woman feel at ease, so he simply didn't think about these things. He took the first step and stepped into the ancient palace.
Got in.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
This ancient palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and even the stops that support the weight of the roof are seriously damaged. But in the center, there is a huge altar, and below it is a high platform with a radius of more than a hundred feet.
of flame.
Gu Qing noticed that there were many humanoid patterns carved around the altar. These patterns had some similarities with the "Enlightenment People" enlightenment pictures he had seen in Sun Miaoke's tribe. However, the ones here were more obvious.
Profound and complex.
He stared at the patterns carefully. When he was about a third of the way through, he suddenly felt a certain acupuncture point on his body pulsing. First, it felt like a trembling tadpole was buried under the skin.
strange.
Looking further down, other parts of the body also feel this way.
"What is going on?" He glanced at the others casually, but saw that they were confused and did not understand what it meant.
Only Sun Miaoke's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking.
He thought for a while, then suddenly flipped his hand, and a jade slip appeared. He directly imprinted these patterns on the jade slip. Then he put away the jade slip with a wave of his hand. Then he volleyed towards the altar and shot a faint
The demonic energy came out of his fingers and sank into the altar with a "ding" sound.
