As the space blurred, the figures of Li Yan and Zhao Min appeared on a broken roof below, and dense rustling sounds could be heard in their ears.
Wherever the two of them could see, the yellow sand underground was shaking and arching, and then, a scalp-numbing scene appeared.
One after another, small khaki insects emerged from the sand, and the sand pit they brought out was quickly filled with fine sand.
They are like withered bamboo twigs, only the size of maggots in length.
There is a pair of small eyes on the top of the head with a fierce light, and the mouth looks like someone has been stabbed horizontally at the top of the body. The appearance is very ugly and cruel.
These ugly and ferocious yellow bugs are densely packed in thousands, and they are almost integrated with the yellow sand on the ground. It is impossible to distinguish them unless you look closely.
"It's a crossbow!" ??
Zhao Min said softly.
They already knew most of the situation here from the jade slip given by Su Hong. The crossbow bug is the most undesirable monster in the underground cave that people want to encounter.
They are just like the Snow Mosquito clan, their individual combat power can only be considered average, but once they attack in groups, even the Golden Elixir monks are unwilling to encounter them.
The attack method of the crossbow bug is very special, with a large number of long-range attacks, which catches people off guard. Li Yan and Zhao Min became the target of public criticism just now while flying.
However, they had been alert to their surroundings and sensed the crisis in an instant and escaped the sneak attack.
After those crossbow bugs lost their target in an instant, they looked around and found Li Yan and Li Yan standing on the roof again.
Each crossbow insect violently arched its body, and the large horizontally split mouth at the top of its body opened, revealing a row of fine sharp teeth, and overwhelming yellow rays shot at Li Yan and the others again.
These yellow awns are either straight or slanted, covering an extremely wide area, but their speed is extremely fast, with sharp holes breaking through the space, and they arrive in an instant.
Li Yan reached out and drew in front of him, and a black wall of energy blocked the two of them.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The sound continued, and Li Yan felt a powerful force coming from his hand.
"It's really weird!"
Li Yan's eyes revealed a strange light. At the moment when he had foreseen the crisis, he could have used the "Feng Chongtian" movement technique to lead Zhao Min to escape immediately and leave before these crossbow bugs could react.
But he didn't do that. As the saying goes, people with high skills are bold, and he also wanted to see if the crossbow insect attack described in the jade slip was really that strange.
The yellow rays emitted by these crossbow bugs were like strong bows and crossbows, and their power was astonishing. Li Yan estimated that each yellow ray could penetrate the body of a foundation-building monk.
Of course, for Li Yan and Zhao Min, these powers would not cause any harm to them in a short period of time even if they stood there and allowed Huang Mang to attack them.
But since this monster is marked in the jade slip and is listed as something that even the Golden Elixir monks in the underground cave are unwilling to encounter, then naturally it won't be that simple.
But even for the purpose of exploration, Li Yan would not use his body to forcefully intercept.
He soon discovered the power of the crossbow bug.
every course After the yellow light hits the black air wall, its power will not be resisted and dissipated, but will immediately adhere to the air wall.
The same is true for the yellow awns that followed. Because the yellow awns came very quickly and were as numerous as arrows all over the sky, in just one breath, one side of the black air wall turned golden.
Li Yan felt that the power coming from his hand was increasing at an alarming rate. In just over a breath, it actually reached the attack power of a Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk.
And this force is getting stronger and stronger, vowing not to stop until the wall of energy is broken.
Almost at the same time, the yellow light that did not hit the air wall instantly turned the wall under Li Yan and Zhao Min's feet into a broken "sieve".
Strands of yellow light passed through with the sound of "Whee-hee-hee...", and transparent holes like thin lines appeared on the wall, and then they increased rapidly at a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye.
This caused all the holes to become connected in an instant, forming bigger loopholes...
In just over a breath, Li Yan and
The two-foot-thick bluestone wall under Zhao Min's feet collapsed with a "bang", sending yellow sand flying across the sky.
The two of them were immediately suspended in the air. The attacks of the crossbow bugs below were even more rapid and sharp, and the mana in Li Yan's hand was also constantly increasing.
Of course he was not willing to go on like this, as it would bring him a lot of trouble, so he planned to explode his strength to disperse the power of the air wall and then roll back over it.
In this way, he can use his strength to block the yellow light in the sky behind him, and they can take the opportunity to escape. He doesn't want to fight with so many monsters.
At this moment, Zhao Minzhi, who had been scanning the bottom with his spiritual consciousness, suddenly spoke.
"You attract the other person's attention like this, give me ten breaths!"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Yan's answer, she stood behind the wall of air and stretched out a pair of slender snow-white jade hands, and began to fly like a butterfly through flowers, creating complex spells one after another.
"This should be a method for refining Gu insects. Senior sister, are you going to sacrifice these crossbow insects?"
Li Yan is a disciple of the Demon Sect. Although he doesn't know how to "Buli Peak", he has also dabbled in relevant classics, and he can easily tell what the magic formula Zhao Min played is.
But what made him unsure was whether the crossbow bugs in front of him were also a type of Gu bugs? Li Yan couldn't tell.
Time passed very quickly, and Li Yan could feel the power oscillation coming from the Qi wall becoming more and more violent, and it was infinitely close to the attack power of the golden elixir in its early stage.
Although there is only one level difference between the foundation-building Dzogchen and the early stage of the Golden elixir, their attack power is as different as heaven and earth.
According to what is said on the jade slips, crossbow insects will appear in many places in the secret cave. They will divide their territories and live in them to form their own groups.
Each group is ruled by a crossbow king. The crossbow king appears in front of
About 30% are second-order monsters, but most of them are first-order monsters.
In Li Yan's consciousness, there was a second-order peak monster underneath the yellow sand, which was emitting invisible sound waves.
These were not sonic attacks, but they all fell on the crossbow insects on the surface.
This made the crossbow insects on the surface become ferocious, and the "arrows" in their mouths were like raining locusts, shooting into the sky and the earth.
According to records, the crossbow insect can only reach the highest level of the third-level monster in Qingqing Continent, and it has to devour its own kind to help it grow. This promotion process is quite long.
There can only always be one King of the Crossbow Bugs in a Crossbow Bug group.
It will kill the other crossbow bugs before they break through to the third level, and then kill and devour them to help itself advance to the third level.
Otherwise, with the terrifying reproduction ability of the crossbow bugs, they would have become an extremely large group in a continent, and they would have caused a disaster like locusts.
Some crossbow bugs with higher intelligence will immediately challenge the strongest person in the group after reaching the second level. The result will either be to devour the opponent after defeating them, or to be devoured by the opponent.
Those crossbow bugs that did not immediately challenge the strongest usually only surrendered briefly. Even if they were secretly accumulating strength, they would not escape alone.
Therefore, the life of a crossbow insect is very strange, that is, reincarnation in the process of swallowing and being swallowed.
The King of Crossbow Bugs in a clan will not easily kill the Crossbow Bugs in the clan. It has to wait for the other party to gradually become stronger, so that the essence and blood of the other party can help it improve its realm.
The group of crossbow insects that Li Yan and the others encountered had not yet given birth to a third-level monster, which could be seen from their accumulated attack power.
At most, they can only reach the early stage of the Golden Core. This is related to their overall strength...
Li Yan quickly recalled the description of the crossbow insect in the jade slip.
At this time, seven breaths of time had passed since Zhao Min opened his mouth, and Zhao Min's seal formation speed was so fast that only an afterimage of his hands was left.
In just a few breaths, a lot of sweat broke out on her forehead, which showed that Zhao Min was quite strenuous to perform this technique.
What should be wasted more is the power of divine consciousness.
As soon as the ten breath time was up, she made a strange syllable from her mouth. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear.
The crossbow bugs below only feel their brains at this moment.
There seemed to be a string in the middle that was plucked by someone, and they all fell into a trance for a moment, losing the ability to think in a short period of time.
Suddenly there was a very short gap in the yellow light all over the sky, and it was this fleeting moment that Zhao Min was waiting for.
The fingers of her hands were clasped together, and the fingers of her hands were interlocked into a fist shape. Only two index fingers stretched out straight and leaned against each other.
She turned sideways and reached the edge of the black air wall. She stretched her arms forward and pointed out two green-white jade fingers. A thin blood-red line on her fingertips that only her spiritual consciousness could see flashed away.
The blood-red thin line instantly spanned ten After several miles, he plunged headlong into a patch of yellow sand.
There has been no movement in that large piece of yellow sand. Compared with the yellow light attack from Li Yan's side, it is like two different worlds.
Just after the blood-red thread plunged into the yellow sand, the originally calm earth suddenly stirred like a yellow dragon.
Then a painful scream came from the ground, and a yellow shadow flew out of the large piece of yellow sand.
The yellow shadow was about one foot in size, and it was a yellow maggot whose body was several times larger than the crossbow bug in front of Li Yan and the others.
It also had a pair of small eyes on the top of its head, and the large mouth that opened horizontally under the eyes was cracked, and it was making sharp hissing sounds, and there was pain in its eyes.
Judging from the coercion emanating from its body, its strength has reached the peak of the second-level monster beast, and it should be the king of this crossbow insect group.
The Crossbow King kept beating its body in the yellow sand. Several times, the pain in its eyes was suppressed, and was replaced by a more fierce and fierce light.
It immediately stared at Zhao Min high in the distance, and the next moment it wanted to leap into the air and pounce on Zhao Min.
But there seemed to be a wireless thin thread on Zhao Min's outstretched finger. Once she found that the Crossbow King's consciousness had slightly recovered, the spells in her mouth became even more urgent, and her fingers continued to wrap around.
Pain suddenly rose up in the eyes of the Crossbow King again, and a humanized expression of pain and confusion appeared on his face.
Beads of sweat were rolling down Zhao Min Guangjie's forehead, and his complexion became pale.
Obviously, even with her current level of cultivation, it is extremely difficult to subdue a monster that has almost reached the third level.
And just when the Crossbow King flew out of the ground, those crossbow attacks became even more crazy after a slight slowdown.
Li Yan saw that Zhao Minshu's sacrifice to the Crossbow King was not going well, and he called out in his heart.
"Zi Kun!"
In an instant, a young man in purple clothes suddenly appeared in the void. A small purple flag in his hand circled above his head and shed a large amount of purple light.
In the blink of an eye, a purple light bloomed ten feet away in front of Li Yan, and then the purple light quickly disappeared.
The yellow light attack that filled the sky was immediately blocked by an invisible barrier.
Balls of dazzling yellow light burst out more than ten feet in front of Li Yan and the others, and they could no longer attack the black wall of energy propped up by Li Yan.
It is the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" that has not been used for a long time!
The "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" that the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant controls personally after possessing the physical body is more than three times more powerful than before.
All attacking yellow awns were swallowed up by the formation as soon as they covered the surface of the formation. Although the yellow awns in the formation still had a strange superimposed power, they could not shake it at all.
At this time, Li Yan was exhaling loudly, exerting force with both hands, and he hit the black wall of air backward.
After flying thousands of feet away, it exploded with a "Bang!" sound!
