"Sure enough, the ghost is still lingering!" As soon as Mo Ye rushed out a certain distance, he felt a terrifying aura approaching him rapidly.
Obviously, the black scorpion had broken through his arrangement.
The nearby trees began to shake violently, and vibrations began to be heard from beneath the ground.
"As long as we leave this island, we can get rid of that black scorpion!" Mo Ye gritted his teeth and started to speed up again.
He didn't know why the Black Scorpion, which didn't seem to be very fast at first, broke out at such a terrifying speed at this time.
All he could do at this moment was keep accelerating to prevent the Black Scorpion behind him from catching up.
Not long after, Mo Ye walked out of the jungle.
Mo Ye's vision suddenly broadened. Now, he was less than half a mile away from the edge of the island.
However, Black Scorpion behind him also realized his thoughts, and his speed increased again.
The ground under Mo Ye's feet began to shake violently, and cracks appeared instantly and began to expand in all directions.
Mo Ye kicked the ground suddenly and jumped into the air.
The moment Mo Ye jumped up, the black scorpion broke out of the ground under Mo Ye's feet, its slender tail suddenly thrust out, and stabbed at Mo Ye with its sharp poisonous stinger.
The Fengyun Wing behind Mo Ye fluttered slightly, and his whole body dodged to the side in a strange zigzag line, barely avoiding the attack of the poisonous thorn.
But this time, after Mo Ye made a dodge, a black light erupted from the Black Scorpion's mouth, locking Mo Ye's breath firmly.
Facing this sudden black light, Mo Ye could only roughly release a light curtain to defend himself in a hurry.
Under the impact of the black light, the light curtain only lasted for one breath before shattering. However, due to the resistance of the light curtain, the power of the black light was also greatly reduced.
But even so, the black light bombarding Mo Ye still made Mo Ye feel unbearable.
A large piece of clothing on Mo Ye's chest was instantly torn to pieces by the terrifying force. Blood stains quickly appeared on the exposed skin. These blood stains were getting deeper and deeper as time went by.
Mo Ye clenched his hands into fists and punched forward suddenly.
Blessed by the power of the starry sky in the Star Art and the Star Seal, Mo Ye's fist was like a huge boulder, hitting the black scorpion's hard carapace heavily.
The black scorpion's carapace began to dent slightly under Mo Ye's punch.
Black Scorpion also felt extremely uncomfortable after swallowing Mo Ye's punch. Mo Ye's punch hit its carapace, causing considerable damage to it through the carapace.
However, since Mo Ye's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Realm, the actual impact of this blow on Black Scorpion was not as great as imagined.
Black Scorpion recovered quickly with his strong body.
But Mo Ye was not so relaxed. Even after the light curtain was weakened, the black light bombarded him and still caused great damage to him.
Mo Ye quickly took out a pill and drank it. The flesh and blood on the wound on his chest began to squirm quickly and gradually healed.
The black scorpion stretched out its left claw and grabbed Mo Ye.
Mo Ye tried to dodge again, but the black scorpion sprayed out black light again.
Facing this black light that was rapidly approaching him, Mo Ye's expression did not change.
He was unprepared before, but this time, he was already prepared in advance.
Mo Ye's figure quickly became illusory, and the Phantom Shadow Escape activated.
Under Mo Ye's control, the Wind Wing Escape Technique was also activated.
The black light instantly penetrated Mo Ye's body, but after it penetrated, Mo Ye's body quickly dissipated, apparently just an afterimage.
Mo Ye's true body had quickly distanced itself from the black scorpion.
The distance of half a mile was quickly shortened by Mo Ye's rapid advance. When Black Scorpion reacted, Mo Ye was only about ten feet away from the edge of the island.
"Hiss..." Black Scorpion reacted completely and quickly chased after Mo Ye.
But at this moment, Mo Ye had already rushed to the water. After flying for a certain distance on the water, he finally stopped and floated above the river.
Mo Ye turned around, looked at the scorpion staying on the shore of the island, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once he reached the water, the black scorpion had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, after a while, Black Scorpion completely gave up chasing Mo Ye and began to return to the jungle.
Mo Ye then took out the boat and landed on it.
"Let's go check out the nearby islands first. Maybe there will be traces left by them." Mo Ye thought, steering the boat towards a nearby island.
Less than half an hour later, Mo Ye successfully landed on the island.
After landing on the island, Mo Ye immediately released his spiritual consciousness and carefully explored the surrounding area.
After confirming that there were no other creatures nearby, Mo Ye set up a formation on the spot and began to recover.
From the first time he encountered the Black Scorpion to now, the wounds on his body have healed a lot due to his level of body training and the body skills he has practiced. Now, he needs to undergo more detailed recovery to prevent hidden dangers in the body.
.
A lot of the black light emitted by the black scorpion penetrated into his body. At this moment, under the operation of his Star Art, traces of imperceptible black energy began to overflow from the wound.
An hour later, when Mo Ye confirmed that the power of the black light had been completely forced out, he took out another pill and took it.
Soon after, Mo Ye's wounds healed completely.
After changing out of his tattered clothes, Mo Ye took back his formation and began to explore the island.
On this island, Mo Ye also found traces left by the cloaked man and his party.
Following these traces, he soon came to a man-made cave.
Entering the cave, an unbearable stench hit your nose.
Mo Ye enveloped the entire cave with his consciousness and immediately discovered a rotting corpse in the corner of the cave.
Next to the corpse, there is also a broken academy token, which looks like it was placed there artificially.
Except for the corpse, there was nothing else in the entire cave. Even if Mo Ye used his spiritual consciousness to scan the place several times, nothing new was found.
The clue was interrupted, and Mo Ye could only leave the cave with regret.
Next, Mo Ye spent three days searching all the dozen or so islands nearby.
Among these dozen islands, three islands are completely deserted islands without any living creatures.
There are many monsters on other islands, with varying levels of cultivation, some strong and some weak.
The strongest one was even more terrifying than the black scorpion Mo Ye had encountered before. Fortunately, the monster gave up chasing him for some unknown reason, allowing him to escape.
After three days of exploration, Mo Ye discovered the traces left by the cloaked man and his party on five of the islands.
Based on their footprints, Mo Ye also made some inferences.
Four days later, when Mo Ye landed on an island, he immediately caught a wave of spiritual power.
Mo Ye felt happy, this could be said to be his best discovery in these days.
Mo Ye restrained his aura and began to approach the direction where the spiritual energy fluctuation appeared.
Not long after, Mo Ye heard the sound of fighting.
They were three monks, all exuding the aura of the late-stage Kailing Realm.
One of them was wearing a black cloak and had a bright yellow ball in his hand. He was the man in the cloak that Mo Ye had been searching for for many days.
Mo Ye did not rush out immediately, but continued to observe in the dark.
The man in the cloak and the two monks beside him are working together to deal with a green snake that has reached the peak of the spiritual realm.
The green snake kept attacking the three of them, causing them to passively defend themselves for a long time.
Mo Ye didn't think so. He knew the cloaked man's strength very well. Looking at the cloaked man's actions at this time, it was obvious that he didn't use his full strength.
Perhaps, the other party is planning something secretly, just like when he was traveling with him before.
After a long time, the green snake gradually showed signs of fatigue. The three of them also found the flaw and killed the green snake in one fell swoop.
After killing the green snake, the three of them immediately sat down cross-legged and began to recover.
At this time, Mo Ye no longer concealed his aura and walked directly towards the three of them.
Feeling Mo Ye's sudden aura, the three of them were shocked.
After seeing the person coming, the two monks' eyes were full of doubts and warnings, while the face of the cloaked man was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, making it difficult to fathom.
After the gray fog, a trace of shock flashed in the cloaked man's eyes.
How is he still alive?
According to the information he received, the operations within the alliance were extremely smooth in the Valley of Beasts. Logically speaking, Mo Ye should have died at the hands of other monks in the alliance.
Otherwise, how could the actions within the alliance go so smoothly?
He did not really participate in that operation. Before Liu Ba entered the ancient ruins to meet those people, he had quietly left the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
His identity is very special. He is a secret inserted by the Wanxie Alliance in the Wentian Academy and cannot be exposed easily. He was traveling with Liu Ba before and only agreed because of Liu Ba's previous friendship with him.
Therefore, he didn't know exactly what happened in that ancient ruins.
"Long time no see!" Mo Ye looked at the cloaked man and smiled.
At the same time, he also showed his academy token.
After he showed his academy token, the wariness in the eyes of the two monks immediately disappeared.
After a brief introduction to each other, Mo Ye also learned that one of their surnames was Li and the other was Tian.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Mo come here? Could it be that he also accepted the same mission as us?" the monk surnamed Li asked with a smile.
"Exactly, I also accepted that task, but now it seems that I feel a little regretful." Mo Ye said with a bitter smile.
"We are the same. Who knew we would encounter so many things along the way? Three fellow Taoists traveling with us have already died on the way." The monk surnamed Tian sighed deeply.
This is not the first time these people have wandered in Jiehe, but this time they encountered many more things than before. (To be continued)
