Seven years later, in a certain area of the outer star sea, a group of more than a dozen monks with different cultivation levels were flying slowly at low altitude, looking left and right from time to time, as if they were searching for something.
Most of these monks are in the foundation building stage, and only the top three are in the pill forming stage.
One is in the middle stage of pill formation, and two are in the early stage of pill formation.
"Brother Qiu, is that level six monster really nearby? We have been searching in this sea area for several days. The search area has been expanded again and again. Is there any chance that the information is wrong?" A middle-aged monk with a pale golden complexion
, asked with a look of impatience on his face.
The person he was questioning was an old man with a dove face and a stern look beside him.
The old man is the middle-stage alchemy monk with the highest level of cultivation in this group of people.
"Friend Daoist Min, why should you be impatient! The information we got is only a rough location. Even if the error is a few days, it is normal. This is better than us running around in other sea areas. I believe that the guy who gave me the information did not dare to deceive me.
"The old man said calmly with an unchanged expression.
"Has the monster beast left this sea area, or is this not its lair at all?" Another man with a ferocious face also suddenly said.
"No. This is a rare glazed beast. We have just scanned the nearby seabed with our spiritual consciousness. The bottom is full of the three-color algae that this beast loves to eat. Its nest will never be too far away from here."
The dove-faced old man affirmed calmly.
It seemed that the dove-faced old man had a high prestige among the three. After hearing this, the other two stopped saying anything and continued to let go of their consciousness and search around them.
As for the foundation-building monks at the back, most of them were their nephews and disciples, so no one stepped forward to interrupt them casually.
Led by three people, this team of monks searched in this sea area for more than half a day, but unfortunately still found nothing.
At this time, even the dove-faced old man frowned slightly.
"Ahem! We had a good time staying in the abyss. Even if we can't say that we have gained anything every month, it is still possible to get three or four high-level demon pills a year. But now it's better. Since we left there, in the past two years, we have
We only killed two high-level monsters in total. We can't even make a single monster pill with our hands." The pale gold-faced monk surnamed Min complained again, as if he was sulking.
"Okay. Brother Min doesn't know what's going on in the abyss now. Going to the abyss now is not to hunt monsters, but to seek death."
"It's really evil! Although the original abyss is not safe, as long as you are smart and don't wander into the central area, you can still live well. But now it is better. Since the monster riot two years ago, the entire abyss has been completely destroyed.
It has become a restricted area. Almost all the high-level monks who penetrated through it never came back. Just last year, several Nascent Soul stage
The old monsters joined forces and rushed into the central area to find out what was going on. As a result, they encountered monsters of unknown levels, and finally escaped in fear. Even among the four masters, only Nascent Soul was left.
I can survive. It seems that I really can’t stay on Qiyuan Island for long." The vicious man who spoke was a little frightened and said with a slightly pale face.
"What the preacher said makes some sense. Although the monsters in the abyss are quite honest and have never left the abyss, who knows that one day these monsters will become mad and suddenly emerge in a rush. This is not impossible.
.We really have to be on guard!" After hearing this, the dove-faced old man was silent for a moment and said with a stern face.
It seems that the old man also changed his expression when he heard about the abyss monster.
"But now, Xing Gong and the Counter Star Alliance are still fighting fiercely over there. The teleportation array can still be exited but not entered. Even if we want to leave, we can't." The monk surnamed Min smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
color.
"Humph! That's not necessarily the case." The ferocious-looking man showed a disapproving look.
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Xuan has another idea?" The monk surnamed Min looked surprised at first, but then he became energetic.
"Hehe! There's no other way. I just heard that someone on Qiyuan Island is selling teleportation talismans at a high price. Although the number is not large, some people have indeed returned to the Inner Star Sea by using it!" The man's voice suddenly lowered.
He came down and said somewhat mysteriously.
"Is there such a thing? Then we..." The monk surnamed Min had a happy face, and when he was about to ask more questions in detail, he was interrupted by a cold snort from the dove-faced old man.
"Two Taoist friends, stop dreaming! Even if you get the teleportation talisman, do you really dare to go back to Tianxing City? The current Inner Star Sea is more dangerous than our Qiyuan Island! If you go back, you will definitely be caught by the two parties and used as a scapegoat. And here
Although the abyss monster doesn’t look quite right,
It's normal, but at least everything is fine outside the abyss. If something really happens, we can just find a desert island to hide for a while. It's better than going back to get involved in some big war." A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, as if
I already had a good idea about this matter.
After hearing this, the other two looked at each other for a while, feeling that although the old man's method was stupid, it seemed to be really feasible.
Just when these two people wanted to discuss the matter with the old man in detail, suddenly a thick strange roar came from a certain direction, and then bursts of explosions and roars sounded simultaneously from the same direction.
"Glass Beast!"
The monk surnamed Min and the vicious man looked at each other and shouted almost at the same time, with surprise on their faces.
"It is indeed the cry of the Glazed Beast. It seems that someone found it before us. Let's go. Don't expose the traces and act according to the situation." A sharp look flashed on the face of the dove-faced old man, and he said to the two of them coldly.
The other two nodded in understanding, and the three of them immediately turned into Changhong and flew away, but after a flash of light halfway, they disappeared without a trace.
As for the group of foundation-building monks, they immediately started chasing after them with nervous expressions.
After a while, the dove-faced old man and three other monks in the alchemy stage flew silently to the vicinity of a coral island several miles in size.
The roar of the monster beast that shook the sky came from here.
As a result, the situation before them was not beyond their expectations.
A pale white, crystal clear sea beast is trapped in a restricted area of red light on the island.
The body of this demonic beast, which is more than ten feet in size, radiates countless milky-white filaments, desperately cutting through the red glow swarming around it, making it look extremely fierce.
But all this is not what the three of them are most concerned about. Their eyes all fall on another place.
In the sky above the island, a young man wearing a light blue robe stood motionless in mid-air, with his hands behind his back and a carefree look on his face.
"Brother Qiu, this person is only in the early stages of pill formation. Shall we take action?" the fierce-looking monk named Xuan said excitedly, his words full of surprise.
"Don't worry, look around and see if there is anyone else hiding nearby? Don't fall into any trap!" After hearing this, the dove-faced old man had a ferocious look on his face, but he still suppressed the desire to take action and acted cautiously.
sermon.
"Fellow Daoist Min! Brother Qiu's words make sense. A monk in the early stage of pill formation actually dared to trap the Glazed Beast alone. There is something wrong. There must be no mystery in it." The monk surnamed Min seemed to be equally attentive and warned.
.
When the vicious man heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly released his consciousness to search nearby, but found nothing at all.
At this time, the young man in blue in the sky also took action.
He raised one hand, and seven rays of green light flew out from his hand. After circling in the air, they merged into a giant blue light sword about ten feet long and fell from the air with a deep sound.
The glazed beast below seemed to know how powerful it was. He opened his mouth and spat out a white crystal ball.
After the crystal ball swelled in the wind, it turned into a size of about ten feet and faced the giant sword in the air without hesitation.
The speed of the falling giant sword did not change, but there was an astonishing thunderous sound.
After a loud bang, it collided with the crystal ball.
But at this moment, the giant sword seemed to blur for a moment.
After a "whoosh" sound, a giant sword that was like no other flew out from the green light, and then disappeared from the place in a flash. The next moment, it suddenly appeared on the head of the glazed beast, silently.
One slash down.
The monster roared at the top of its lungs, and the white hair on its body suddenly shot upwards, trying to catch the blow forcefully and escape.
As a result, with a "plop" sound, the giant sword chopped off the huge head of the glass beast without any hindrance.
Green blood splashed everywhere!
Seeing the scene of the young man exterminating the demon in an instant, the three dove-faced old men were a little shocked.
Is that really the Glazed Beast?
This beast is also famously difficult to deal with among level six monsters.
But now he was killed by this young man with a sword that seemed to kill him instantly.
This is unbelievable! Could it be that the other party is not a monk in the early stage of pill formation, but a monk in the late stage of pill formation?
The three people, including the dove-faced old man, once again used their spiritual consciousness to confirm repeatedly, but the young man in blue who was landing next to the corpse of the monster was indeed in the early stage of pill formation.
But even if the three of them could defeat the sixth-level Glazed Beast together, it was simply impossible to kill it so easily.
Could it be that the young monk pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger has some secret technique to hide his true cultivation?
The three dove-faced old men became suspicious!
"Brother Qiu, do you want to take action? It seems that the opponent is the only one here." The ferocious man's voice sounded a little nervous.
The dove-faced old man stared down, with a trace of doubt on his face, but did not reply immediately.
But when he saw the young man in blue taking out a black bowl and starting to extract the soul of the Glazed Beast, his expression changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"This man is a bit weird, forget it. There is no need to provoke someone who doesn't know the details." Seeing the old man's expression, the monk surnamed Min couldn't help but be startled, but then he frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
Since the three of them can live freely in a place like the Outer Star Sea, they are all extremely cautious people.
The situation in front of him was really indescribably weird. It made the monk named Min want to give up!
"Forget it? Now it's not a matter of whether or not to take action. It's a matter of whether we can leave alive."
The dove-faced old man's eyes flickered for a while, then he smiled bitterly and said something meaningless.
These words made the vicious man and the monk surnamed Min stunned.
The two of them knew the old man's nature well and knew that the other party would never say this without reason, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Didn't you two realize that this man is very similar to a certain demon that has been rumored recently?" The dove-faced old man pursed his lips and whispered bitterly.
"Devil? Does he mean..."
"What, it's that person!"
The two people on the side were startled at first, but then they immediately let out an exclamation!
Their faces were full of horror.
"That should be correct. You see, this man is young, can release multiple flying swords, and the sword light is also cyan. It is very consistent with the rumors!" The dove-faced old man murmured cautiously, as if he was also analyzing it.
Listen to it yourself.
"But isn't that man famous for driving away many flying insects? This person here has never used insect repelling techniques from beginning to end. Can't it be a coincidence?" The vicious man's face turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
, it seems that the person mentioned by the dove-faced old man is an extremely terrifying existence.
"Brother Qiu must be right. The devil usually shows his cultivation level in the early stage of pill formation, and he also likes to extract the souls of monsters. As for not releasing flying insects just now, he probably thinks it is unnecessary!" Min surnamed
The monk's light-gold face was turning a little blue, and his spoken words were automatically a bit softer.
"So, the guy in front of us could really be the 'Insect Demon' in the rumors? Then why don't we leave quickly? If we are hit by this demon, we won't even be able to survive." The big man showed a panicked look.
"Don't panic. If this is really the devil, he was focusing on the Glazed Beast when he came just now. That's why he didn't find us. Now that he has destroyed the monster, if he acts rashly, he may be exposed.
Whereabouts." The dove-faced old man could still maintain some composure and said calmly.
After hearing this, the other two people looked at each other and felt that it made sense, and immediately did not dare to act rashly.
But after the big man surnamed Xuan stared at the young man doing the soul extraction in the distance for a moment, he suddenly remembered something and whispered suspiciously:
"I heard that this insect demon had a conflict with a group of monks four years ago because of a seventh-level monster. He single-handedly killed seven or eight monks in the alchemy stage. Only one monk in the late stage of alchemy was killed.
I was spared. Are all these rumors true?"
"It should be true! The monk who escaped with his life was a master of the Biyun Sect. All those who were destroyed were all his fellow sects. In this battle, the Biyun Sect, known as the five major forces on Qiyuan Island, suffered a sudden loss
Nearly one-third of the manpower was suddenly greatly reduced in strength. The supreme elder of the Biyun Sect, 'Miaohe Zhenren', was so angry that he went out to sea alone several times to search for this insect demon, but all results were lost.
Returned in vain. In fact, many people speculated that even if Master Miaohe really found this insect demon, he might not be able to do anything to him. After all, since the other party has this ability, he is probably the newly emerged Nascent Soul.
I'm a first-year master. I heard that other forces on Qiyuan Island are also paying attention to this insect demon, and they seem to want to win over him." The monk surnamed Min swallowed a few times and explained in a low voice.
"Nascent Soul stage? This is not necessarily the case. I have heard another saying. It is said that the insect demon's own cultivation level is nothing at all. He is so powerful only because of the batch of strange insects he possesses. It is said that in the battle that day,
He didn't use any other magic weapons at all, he just released countless flying insects and swallowed up many monks in the alchemy stage alive without moving a little finger. That's why he was named the insect demon." The dove-faced old man was silent.
After a while, he shook his head and said in disapproval.
"But Brother Qiu also saw it just now. The man in front of him did not use flying insects at all, and killed the glazed beast with one sword. Even the monks in the late stage of pill formation may not be able to do this. The opponent is clearly Nascent Soul
I'm pretending to be Mr. Qi." The monk surnamed Min still insisted on his opinion.
The dove-faced old man showed disapproval and was about to say something when the vicious man on the side interrupted helplessly.
"Two fellow Taoists, it makes no difference to us whether this insect demon is a monk at the Nascent Soul stage or not. It is true that the other party can kill us without any effort. I am worried about the other party's reputation. I heard that Fan and this
Almost all the monks encountered by the insect demon were fed insects by it. The number of monks who have been poisoned by it one after another is no less than a hundred. In the past two years, everyone's talk about this demon has changed."
When the monk surnamed Min heard what the evil man said, his expression became even more ugly. He looked at the young man in blue below, took a long breath and said:
"The insect demon is ruthless and murderous. This should be true. In recent years, many monks have been killed to steal treasures, but some people have pointed out that it was this demon who did it! Fortunately for us, we took the initiative
I sent it to this person’s door.” This person’s words were already full of regret!
When the dove-faced old man heard this, his face was equally ugly, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
He was also extremely afraid of the evil reputation of this insect demon.
Below, the dove-faced old man and the other three people no longer had the intention to speak. They all stared at the young man's every move. They just hoped that the other party would finish taking care of the monster and leave quickly.
At this time, the young man in blue had extracted the spirit of the glazed beast and put it into the black bowl. He also dug out a white inner elixir from the corpse of the monster and put it into the storage bag on his waist.
.
Now, the young man suddenly raised his head and looked around.
Seeing this, the three people nearby held their breaths in unison, and their hidden figures did not dare to move rashly.
But it backfired!
When the young man's eyes glanced at the three people hiding in the air, he suddenly stopped. A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly.
"Three fellow Taoists have been watching for so long. Have you seen enough? Can you show up and talk about it?"
After hearing this, the three dove-faced old men felt chills all over their bodies almost at the same time!
"Run!" I don't know who among the three shouted so loudly.
The three people immediately turned into three rainbows and ran away in three directions without saying a word.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" The young man in blue frowned slightly and murmured to himself, while a trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
But then the young man's face darkened, and with a wave of his hands, three spirit beast bags were sacrificed into the air one after another, and the three-colored beetles all over the sky surged out.
This young man in blue is Bai Ran who just returned from the deep sea!
The three dove-faced old men who secretly glanced back, saw this scene, their expressions suddenly changed, and they escaped three minutes faster without realizing it.
But at this moment, a soft groan came from the young man's mouth.
At this sound, the three-color beetles all over the sky gathered in the air, and instantly condensed into three giant spears about ten feet long. The screams were loud, and the giant spears turned into a three-color rainbow of light, which flashed away.
They shot away in separate parts, and the escape of light was extremely fast.
The sound of "chichi" pierced through the air was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the giant spears were chasing the dove-faced old man and the three disappeared.
Bai Ran stood there without any intention of chasing after him. Instead, he leisurely cut off the crystal skin of the glazed beast with a ray of blue light.
The skin of the glazed beast was an excellent material for refining armor. Bai Ran naturally refused to give it up.
After turning the remaining body of the Glazed Beast into ashes, Bai Ran turned around and collected the nearby formation equipment and the neon grass on the coral island.
Just after finishing all this, in the distant sky, brilliance flashed in three directions one after another.
When they got a little closer, they could see clearly that the three dove-faced old men were flying back in the escaping light. Looking at their direction, it was exactly where Bai Ran was standing.
The three of them all had gray faces and a three-color collar on their necks, looking dejected and resigned to their fate.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran touched his chin and smiled coldly in his heart.
Seeing the three people landing in front of him, Bai Ran smiled and asked an unusually kind question.
"Can you three fellow Taoists tell me why I ran away in such panic when I saw Mr. Bai? Don't you think we know each other?"
