Suddenly, a huge black shadow flew out from the pile of sharp grass, covering up the scorching sun in the sky. The huge shadow suddenly enveloped Su Xing and Fang Xueyu.
"careful!"
Su Xing jumped up and ran forward, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he had to let out a cry of surprise.
Fang Xueyu looked up and saw that the huge figure in the sky was a long strip-shaped thing, with countless long legs on both sides of its body, a sharp head, and a double-hook-shaped mouth.
"Thousand-legged centipede!"
The seventh-level metal-type ferocious beast, Thousand-footed Centipede, is famous for its speed comparable to lightning. I didn’t expect that such a ferocious beast would be hiding among the haystacks in this plain!
The low wind blowing on the plain caused Fang Xueyu's purple robe to flutter, outlining her slender figure.
Facing a level seven ferocious beast for the first time, the long-haired girl had a look of surprise on her face.
But she is not an ordinary weakling. At the Demon Slaying Festival, she once had the outstanding achievement of killing three level six ferocious beasts by herself.
The Thousand-legged Centipede soared high in the sky, and when it fell downwards, there was only a crisp sound, and a long sword suddenly emerged from the white jade hand under the purple sleeves.
Four stripes on the long sword blade glowed brightly for a while, among which an ice blue stripe was particularly obvious.
"Uh-huh."
With a sharp look in his eyes, Fang Xueyu raised his sword hard against the ferocious beast in the sky.
The blue stripes lit up, and bursts of frost suddenly appeared on the sword.
The surrounding area with Fang Xueyu as the center was suddenly covered in frost. The cold air was so intense that a cloud of frost mist floated on the sharp-haired grass pile, and the Thousand-legged Centipede in the sky stagnated.
"Buzz."
The long sword raised made a sword sound in the air, and he saw that the spiritual sword filled with thousand-year-old ice-cold energy was about to pierce into the lower abdomen of the Thousand-legged Centipede.
However, the thousand-legged centipede suddenly bent its body in an extremely strange posture, and suddenly curled up in the air.
"bite--"
In the end, the sword edge failed to pierce the weak lower abdomen of the thousand-footed centipede. Instead, it was suddenly ejected after piercing its hard shell. The strong rebound force made Fang Xueyu unable to stay still, and he retreated violently until Su Xing reached out to pull it out.
After holding on, he stabilized his body.
"Thousand-legged centipede is best known for its speed, and its second best is defense. It can master all the skills that the ferocious beasts of the metal system are good at."
Su Xing looked at the thousand-legged centipede in the distance. The ferocious beast had landed on the ground at this time, dragging its long body on the ground. Its upper body was upright, and a pair of dark eyes as small as pearls were staring at the two of them.
After the fight just now, Fang Xueyu's heart sank, and she already knew that she was no match for Thousand Peeded Centipede.
What she had just used was the most exquisitely mastered and most powerful spiritual pattern - the Ice Soul Pattern. Unexpectedly, it only had the effect of slightly slowing down the opponent's speed and failed to cause any damage to it.
"What should I do? Yan'er may be trapped deep in the plain."
She said in a deep voice, looking sideways at Su Xing, but was surprised to find that his face was not solemn at all, but looked a bit... plain?
"Since the little centipede dares to block the road, it is natural to kill it."
Su Xing's tone was very calm, without a trace of fluctuation in his voice, and the confident aura burst out from his body, making Fang Xueyu on the side look stunned.
From this man's tone, he seems to look down upon this level seven ferocious beast?
Fang Xueyu turned to the thousand-legged centipede with numb movements, and couldn't help but tremble when she saw the sharp long legs on both sides of the beast.
This thousand-footed centipede is a gold-type ferocious beast. Although it is not good at attacking, it is still a level seven ferocious beast. The pointed feet on both sides of its body are very sensitive. It likes to use speed to break the deadlock and attack opponents secretly.
Where did he... get his confidence?
"Hiss-"
However, the Millipede is not ready to give the two humans a chance to think about an escape route at this time. It has been lying in wait on the plain here for a long time, and today someone finally took the bait!
The double-hooked mouth suddenly vibrated and let out a sharp, piercing cry. Fang Xueyu curled his mouth and quickly prepared to cover his ears.
Seeing Fang Xueyu's raised hands, Thousand Pediatric's eyes shone with a bright light, laughing secretly that humans were too stupid to fall for him so easily.
With a whooshing sound, the centipede crawled to the ground, crawled at high speed under the cover of the spiky grass, and came to the two of them in a flash.
The thick and terrifying upper body suddenly stood up high, and the huge centipede suddenly appeared from the spiky grass. Fang Xueyu was startled. She hurriedly raised her sword and prepared to resist, but she saw it was already too late.
The thousand-footed centipede shook its hooked beak and suddenly attacked Fang Xueyu's eyes.
As one of the most evil insects in the world, its biggest hobby in life is to blind its prey with its sharp beak and then slowly torture it to death.
"呲——"
However, at this moment, a sound that was far more harsh than the cry of a thousand-footed centipede sounded in her ears. She was so angry that she didn't know whether to hold up her sword to block it or cover her ears with her hands.
The next moment the sound fell, a black and red arc of fire suddenly appeared. The horizontal arc of fire was just right between the double hooked beak of the thousand-footed centipede and Fang Xueyu's eyes.
"Hiss-"
The thousand-footed centipede's double hooked beaks were burned by the red and black fire, and it let out a wail. Its huge body jerked back and retreated several feet.
The high temperature on the flame was also very scorching, forcing Fang Xueyu to close her eyes.
The last scene before her eyes was the sharp and venomous double-hooked beak of a thousand-footed centipede so close at hand. After closing her eyes, she thought she had arrived in the underworld.
"boom!"
Suddenly, another loud noise echoed in her ears, and the sound of explosions made her curious, which step in the underworld had she reached now?
After the six loud noises, the ears calmed down, with only a few soft noises occasionally coming out when the wind blew through the grass.
"Hey, Miss Fang, it's almost time to open your eyes."
For a moment, Fang Xueyu, whose chest was heaving violently, suddenly heard a voice in her ears. She swallowed first and then slowly opened her eyes.
Because she hadn't opened her eyes for a long time, the sunlight on the horizon was so harsh that she had to put her hand to her forehead before she could take a good look at her surroundings.
She turned her head slowly, and found that the picture before her eyes was so familiar and completely different from the underworld she had imagined.
The clear sky, the endless plains, the golden grass, and... Su Xing?
"Ah, you're dead too?"
Fang Xueyu, who didn't realize what happened for a moment, was stunned for a moment, thinking that Su Xing also died tragically under the sharp beak of the thousand-footed centipede, and his tone suddenly became sad.
"Ah?" Su Xing scratched his head in confusion, "Why am I dead? It's the thousand-footed centipede that's dead."
"ah?!"
Fang Xueyu turned around and saw that the lush spiky grass that was supposed to grow on the land had been razed to the ground, and a body was lying on the bare ground.
No, using a body to describe it is not quite accurate. She pondered for a moment and felt that it would be more accurate to use a body section to describe it.
Then, her expression suddenly became stunned, and she realized that the segmented body looked like a thousand-footed centipede that had been chopped off.
"This...you did this?"
She looked sideways at Su Xing blankly, her eyes filled with fear.
"Ah, otherwise."
Su Xing nodded, slowly put the long sword into its scabbard, and patted the dust on his clothes.
Disapprovingly, he noticed the shock on Fang Xueyu's face and added as if he had reacted:
"It has only been promoted to the seventh level ferocious beast not long ago. It is not as powerful as you think."
The shock in Fang Xueyu's heart was not alleviated by Su Xing's explanation. If she had never fought against Thousand-footed Centipede before, maybe she would still believe it.
But...she knew the strength of the centipede, so she naturally knew that Su Xing's words were humbly comforting her.
What made her realize even more now was that the "power of self-preservation" that Su Xing said before setting off was not just talk.
Now it seems that the "power of self-preservation" probably means that he has the ability to walk around in the Mingyang River at will.
She looked at the young man who had participated in the demon-slaying event with her on stage a few months ago. At that time, he had shown amazing strength that was different from ordinary people, but she didn't take it to heart.
Until yesterday when he said he wanted to investigate Yan'er's whereabouts alone, she was still sneering in her heart, laughing at her lack of self-awareness and ignorance.
This was also the reason why she decided to follow Su Xing and search for Yan'er's traces together. In order to have more strength, she could protect the other party when necessary.
But now it seems that he is the one being protected.
Recalling the previous scene where he and he had killed a level six ferocious beast, Fang Xueyu couldn't help but have two blushes on his face after knowing that the other party had stopped and deliberately allowed himself to show off his strength.
She lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Well……"
Su Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.
He really wants to stop, but the conditions don't allow it!
If he had taken action a moment later, Fang Xueyu would have suffered blindness.
"Let's keep walking."
"Um."
Fang Xueyu snorted obediently, followed Su Xing with her head lowered, and remained silent all the way.
