"Be careful, be ready to retreat at any time!" Zhao Ling's expression became extremely solemn.
The others' hearts were beating wildly, and they could only watch as the figure in the smoke became clearer and clearer.
Soon, a huge creature appeared in their sight.
That creature could be said to be a mountain of flesh. It was completely black and had pustules of various sizes on its surface. Black blood was constantly overflowing from around these pustules, and it looked extremely disgusting.
"What on earth is this?" Xu Ling frowned slightly.
She had never heard of a creature that looked like this.
The dark shadows surrounding the evil creature all revealed their original forms at this moment. Judging from their appearance, they looked very similar to this behemoth.
A pair of huge gray eyes slowly opened. From this moment on, the aura emitted by this vicious creature also changed.
The creatures around it also began to change at this moment. Their appearance began to change rapidly, and soon they turned into black maggots.
Moreover, the aura emanating from their bodies also began to increase at this moment. Their cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds at this moment.
One after another, the maggots broke through from the spiritual realm to the spiritual liquid realm, and those maggots who originally had the spiritual liquid realm have improved their cultivation by at least a small realm.
The birth of this vicious creature greatly enhanced their strength.
Soon, the strength of these maggots was improved. At this time, the appearance of the evil creature also began to change, and it also turned into a maggot, but compared with other maggots, its size was much larger.
The head of the vicious maggot turned slightly, and its eyes looked towards Zhao Ling and the eight people.
"Let's go! It has discovered us!" Zhao Ling instantly removed the formations around him.
The eight people turned into streaks of escaping light and rushed toward the originally planned evacuation route.
After seeing the eight people from Zhao Ling leaving, the ferocious beast maggot let out a low roar, and the next moment, a large group of maggots around it began to chase in the direction in which the eight people from Zhao Ling left.
The other part of the maggots rushed in another direction, not knowing what they were going to do.
Soon, all the maggots left. At this time, the ferocious beast maggots began to curl up their bodies again and returned to their previous form.
It had just escaped from that place, but due to some back-up moves made by that person, it could not leave the area as soon as it got out of trouble.
The terrifying atmosphere gradually disappeared, and the surrounding area gradually returned to calm.
"This number is really too much!" Zhao Ling released his spiritual consciousness and roughly sensed the maggots following them, and his heart sank.
With such a huge number, if they were to catch up, it would be completely impossible for them to escape based on their strength.
Among the large swarm of maggots behind him, he could already feel no less than twenty of them just from the aura of the late-stage spiritual fluid realm.
"Don't relax!" Zhao Ling warned, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
As soon as the long sword appeared, it broke away from Zhao Ling's hand and rushed towards the large group of maggots behind it.
The long sword rushed into the maggots, and sword qi was immediately activated outward. These sword qi instantly penetrated the surrounding maggots, cutting them into two pieces.
These maggots, which had been cut into two sections, struggled and twisted on the ground for a while, and then lost their last vitality as their movements stopped.
However, the maggots killed by this long sword were all relatively weak. Those maggots whose strength had reached the middle stage of the spiritual fluid realm were not killed by the attacks of these sword energies.
And these maggots that survive the attack of sword energy will pose a huge threat to them.
"The evil thing didn't follow." Zhao Ling began to communicate with Fatty Xu and Xu Ling through voice transmission.
"It is estimated that there is some kind of restraint on it in that area, and it cannot get out of that area immediately." Xu Ling guessed.
"In this case, we don't have to worry so much for the time being." Fatty Xu said.
"Leave this area first." Zhao Ling said.
They could only do this. Just the maggots chasing them could kill them to death, let alone the beast whose strength was countless times greater than theirs.
When the restraint of that place is completely gone and the evil creature is completely freed from its trap, the entire core of the historic site will usher in a disaster.
"The strong men from the academy are about to arrive here. I hope they can get here before this thing is completely out of trouble."
Now, there is still about a day and a half before the Spiritual Pill Realm experts sent by the academy arrive. As long as they survive this day and a half, this crisis will be resolved smoothly.
"Damn, why are there more and more of these things? The strength seems to have become stronger!" The monk surnamed Xu exclaimed.
They were once again surrounded by these shadows, and this time the shadows they faced completely crushed them in terms of strength.
Now they are at a disadvantage. At this moment, they can only rely on the formation to support themselves. In less than a quarter of an hour, their formation will collapse, and by then these black shadows will also attack them.
.
Outside the formation, black shadows are constantly impacting the formation. Every impact of these black shadows will cause the entire formation to shake violently.
Soon, cracks began to appear in the light curtain formed by the formation.
"I can't hold on anymore!" The faces of the three spiritual realm monks in the formation became extremely pale.
Soon, they will meet the fate of two other companions who have opened up the spirit realm.
The eyes of the four Spiritual Liquid Realm monks also showed a look of despair. In these black shadows, there were four auras at the peak of the Spiritual Liquid Realm. With such strength, even if the four of them united, they would not be able to escape death.
"Click..."
The light curtain formed by the formation suddenly shattered.
Dense black shadows rushed toward them from all directions.
But at this moment, the Xuanbing sword carried behind the monk Xu suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
A horrifying aura began to emanate from its interior.
The light blue light flashed away, and when the seven people reacted, the black shadows around them had turned into ice sculptures.
"Bang..."
There were bursts of explosions, and these frozen black shadows exploded together with the frost, turning into piles of ice chips.
"This..." The seven people looked at the large piece of ice chips on the ground in disbelief, with shock on their faces.
After a while, the monk surnamed Xu took off the Xuanbing sword he was carrying. After looking at it carefully for a moment, extreme surprise appeared on his face.
“I didn’t expect that this treasure actually saved our lives!”
No matter what methods they used, they could not activate the black ice sword. But after they encountered such a life and death crisis, the sword actually activated itself again.
"The treasure has a spirit!" The monk surnamed Xu laughed.
No matter what, with the help of this black ice sword, they escaped from the imminent death.
After the Xuan Bing sword released its attack, it returned to silence, as if whatever happened just now was not its fault.
After getting out of the predicament with the help of the power of the Xuanbing sword, the seven people began to speed up.
Although they don't know what kind of changes have taken place here, they know in their hearts that they can only survive if they escape from here.
They didn't know that at the moment when the Xuanbing sword released its power, the area far away from them - where the vicious maggots were - also changed.
On the ground where it is located, spiritual patterns gradually emerge. These spiritual patterns combine to form a huge formation.
A huge light shield appeared, enveloping the vicious maggots.
This change happened very suddenly. When the ferocious maggot noticed it, this light curtain had already begun to attract the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
These spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together and were quickly absorbed by this formation. Soon, the lines of the formation began to become clearer and clearer, and flowing light began to appear in these lines.
The entire formation seemed to be showing signs of recovery.
A roar rang out in the light curtain, and the ferocious maggot returned to its original form.
At this moment, its heart is filled with anger. If this formation is allowed to recover completely, it will be suppressed again.
Is this what that person left behind...
The vicious maggot roared again, and after a while, maggots appeared outside the light curtain.
After a while, these maggots disappeared quickly, and it was unknown where they had gone.
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the vicious maggot.
If its induction just now was correct, the breath of the thing left behind by that person had appeared in that direction before.
If it wants to break through the formation here, it must get that thing!
Although the eight people from Zhao Ling had been evacuating according to the original route, and had no intention of stopping to fight the maggots who were chasing them along the way, the battle was still forced to continue.
A small group of maggots suddenly appeared in front of them and began to block their progress frantically.
Under the obstruction of these maggots who risked their lives, the speed of the eight people also began to slow down. Soon, the maggots behind them caught up with them.
In desperation, they could only start fighting.
Everyone faced a large swarm of maggots. Although they were powerful, they were gradually at a disadvantage under the combined attacks of these maggots.
The most important thing is that the number of these maggots is too much. After killing one piece, another one pops up, and there is no end in sight.
"If this continues, it will become a certain death situation!" After killing two maggots again, Zhao Ling began to think hard.
Looking around, there are densely packed maggots. If they want to escape from the battle, they must create a gap here and rush out through this gap in a very short time.
However, under the siege of such a huge number of maggots, the difficulty of opening a gap is simply unimaginable.
"Maybe I have to use that trick!"
After Zhao Ling finished thinking about it, he immediately began to communicate with others. (To be continued)
