Under Qu Wuming's deliberate acceleration, two days passed quickly.
However, his progress in crossing the Phantom Smoke did not go as planned.
Qu Wuming had not stepped into the phantom smoke for hundreds of years, and he did not expect that the monsters in the phantom smoke were now very different from before.
In the past, different areas in the Fantasy Smoke were often ruled by some powerful monsters. Each had its own sphere of influence. Unless there were special circumstances, they rarely interacted with each other. There were even some monsters who would Fighting over territory.
Therefore, after entering the Phantom Smoke, experienced people can roughly deduce the real "master" of this area based on the types and distribution of low-level monsters and wild beasts living in the area - the person who rules this area. What is the most powerful monster and its approximate level, so that corresponding countermeasures can be adjusted.
Qu Wuming had only been to Huanyanze once, and it was hundreds of years ago. At first, he wore a Wuwu concealment robe and explored carefully according to the information he had learned before, in order to prevent an overly powerful monster from inadvertently entering. territory.
However, after spending several hours deep in the fantasy smoke, Qu Wuming had no choice but to give up this time-consuming and laborious approach.
Without him, Huan Yanze's current state seems to be quite different from before.
No matter how careful Qu Wuming is, when passing through the fog that rises up from time to time in the phantom smoke and covers a large area, even if he is wearing the Wuwu Hiding Robe, the fog stirred up as he moves will easily reveal his whereabouts. .
At first, Qu Wuming didn't feel anything when he was outside the Huanyanze.
But more than an hour later, whenever Qu Wuming sneaked and flew past the swamp, he seemed to be able to hear something in the nearby fog, in the muddy water under his feet, and even in the sparse woods and shrubs. There were some strange, whispering sounds coming from the bushes.
Those sounds seem to be absent, and if you don't pay attention, they will seem to be mixed with the occasional passing wind, appearing strangely in seemingly peaceful corners. But if you listen carefully, or even use the power of your spiritual consciousness to explore carefully, you can't find anything.
If there were just these weird sounds, they wouldn't be able to affect Qu Wuming's speed.
But the strange thing is that whenever these sounds appear, no matter how Qu Wuming hides his whereabouts, even if he turns his body almost transparent through the Wuwu Hiding Robe, his breath will slowly pass by without leaking. There would also be all kinds of strange monsters emerging from trees, muddy water, and mist, attacking Qu Wuming fearlessly.
In just two days, Qu Wuming has killed countless low-level monsters. Sometimes he has released the pressure of the seventh level of his divine transformation stage, but those low-level monsters still attack him without fear. He launched the attack as if he was not facing a powerful creature that could crush him with the flick of a finger, but an sworn enemy.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Since we can't hide from these monsters, we can only kill them all the way.
Qu Wuming had no way to investigate, and he didn't want to explore the reason behind this abnormality. Later, he simply put away the Wuwu Hiding Robe, and no longer put any more effort into it whenever he encountered a monster that came out to attack him. They were intimidated and driven away, and they were all killed quickly with thunderous means.
In the past two days, although I have never encountered a big monster above the eighth level, I have killed hundreds of low-level monsters and gained hundreds of demon pills.
In line with the principle that mosquitoes are still flesh no matter how small they are, all these demon pills were taken into the Zifu space by Qu Wuming and used as food for the Purple Gold Electric Rat and the two Black Jade Demon Toads.
Since these three spiritual pets moved into Qu Wuming's Zifu space, although Qu Wuming also provided them with spiritual energy, elixirs, and meat according to the methods of the Demon Spirit Sect, their growth and cultivation have been greatly improved. limited.
Firstly, it takes a long time for the monster beasts to advance. Secondly, these three spiritual beasts have deliberately suppressed their spiritual intelligence and do not know how to practice. They only rely on their instincts to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so their natural improvement is slow.
However, in the past two days, as the demon elixirs of hundreds of low-level demon beasts were devoured by them like jelly beans, the originally unimproved cultivation levels of the Purple Gold Electric Rat and the Black Jade Demon Toad actually improved rapidly. , although the two black jade demon toads only improved by less than half a level, the purple gold electric rat showed signs of breaking through to the next level.
However, Qu Wuming didn't dare to let it break through easily now.
First of all, when monsters upgrade their levels, they will also cause heavenly tribulations, and the magnitude of the heavenly tribulations caused by different types and levels of monsters will also be different when they upgrade. Some alien monsters can cause heavenly tribulations that are no less severe than The power of thunder calamity for those who practice Taoism at the same level is even greater than that!
Qu Wuming knew that the purple-gold electric rat was an alien beast. It was said that there was a trace of the blood of the ancient alien beast Thunder Beast in its body, so it had the innate ability to control thunder and lightning. Under this situation, if the Purple Gold Electric Rat breaks through in his own Zi Mansion space and causes a thunder disaster, his own Zi Mansion space may suffer as well.
But if he were to let it out and survive the tribulation in the phantom smoke that lurks in unknown dangers around him, once powerful monsters were attracted to him, it would probably have the same unpredictable consequences.
Fortunately, the purple-gold electric rat was very obedient. After Qu Wuming stopped its supply of demon elixirs, it also deliberately suppressed the growth of its own cultivation. According to Qu Wuming's speculation, it could at least delay its advanced thunder catastrophe for a day or two. Months are no problem.
puff!
A flash of white light flashed, and an anaconda that had just emerged from the water had no time to launch an attack. Its huge body was cut into two pieces by Qu Wuming with a flick of his finger.
Qu Wuming passed over the two parts of its body without stopping. The two corpses that should have fallen into the water were suspended in the air, as if two invisible hands were squeezing them from both ends of the body. , all the blood in the anaconda's body and even the undigested food and juice in its intestines and stomach were squeezed out.
Along with these things being squeezed out, there was also a round, light gray demon pill.
"A third-level monster is better than nothing." Qu Wuming flew past the side without looking back, and the demon pill turned into a ray of light and flew into Qu Wuming's storage ring...
————
Just as he put away the demon elixir of the anaconda, more than ten ripples suddenly appeared on the calm swamp water at Qu Wuming's feet!
"No!" Qu Wuming hurriedly stopped his escape and flew back in an instant, but he was still a step too slow.
I saw more than ten jet-black water arrows shooting out of the swamp water.
Those water arrows were as thick as an arm and more than three feet long, and their sharp tips shone with a cold light under the sunlight.
It's not like water arrows, but like water spears!
More than a dozen water arrows seemed to have intertwined into a web of arrows, blocking all Qu Wuming's dodge routes. There was no way to hide or escape!
Qu Wuming's spiritual power surged out, and he only had time to form a tough protective shield three feet away from his body. Those water arrows had already hit the protective shield.
Just hearing a stinging sound, bursts of green smoke suddenly appeared from the nearly transparent consciousness shield, and a strong tingling sensation suddenly poured into Qu Wuming's consciousness.
"These water arrows are actually poisonous!" Qu Wuming reacted immediately. His body suddenly spun in the air, carrying a gust of wind, and he instantly dodged the second round of water arrows that emerged from the water. A light flashed between his eyebrows. A huge golden demon-subduing pestle has appeared in his hand.
"Sneaky, let you sneak attack!"
Qu Wuming recited the spell silently in his mind, held the long handle of the Demon-Conquering Pestle with both hands and raised it above his head. With a loud shout, he swung down suddenly!
A golden light beam as thick as a water tank lit up on the Demon-Conquering Pestle, and then crashed down, hitting the surface of the water.
boom! ! !
There was a roar from the place where the water arrow was shot before, and a large crater about two feet deep was created by the golden beam of light! The duckweed and dead branches and leaves on the water surface rose into the air with a huge wall of water, scattering in all directions. In the middle of the pit, there was no water left after being hit by this blow. Even the dark and smelly mud at the bottom of the pit was visible. Get it crystal clear!
Wow...
The muddy water that was knocked several feet high flew back down like rain, and the surrounding swamp water quickly gathered in the middle, filling the bottomed hole in the blink of an eye.
However, as the water surface gradually became calm again, no monsters appeared.
Qu Wuming floated quietly above the water, extending the power of his consciousness to the surroundings. He held the Demon-Conquering Pestle in one hand while vigilantly searching for possible abnormalities.
However, several breaths of time passed, but the monster that just launched the attack still did not appear.
Qu Wuming could clearly tell from the aura on those water arrows that the ones who had just released those water arrows were at least level 12 monsters! Equivalent to a great demon with a cultivation level in the middle stage of becoming a god!
Moreover, in this environment where water is everywhere, the power of the water tribe's magic will be blessed by the environment, making it even more powerful and difficult to deal with!
However, even though the big demon missed two hits, did he run away without even showing his face?
Qu Wuming would rather believe that it was a cunning demon who missed two hits and chose to lurk secretly in the water where his consciousness would be disturbed, waiting for an opportunity to attack again in order to kill the enemy at the minimum cost. I believe it was a timid big demon, and it ran away in fear after missing two hits.
"Get out! Don't you think it's embarrassing for the demon clan to hide your head and show your tail?" Qu Wuming said loudly.
"Come out, stop hiding, I've found you!"
"I'm just passing by, and I don't mean to disturb your peaceful retreat! I'll leave if you don't come out!"
Qu Wuming shouted a few words. Except for the empty water surface, there was not even a water bird around.
In the swamp, it was so quiet that only the sound of the breeze was left.
Qu Wuming was unable to find the hiding place of the big demon in the end. Seeing that it never showed up, he stopped trying to deal with it. He stepped on the void and turned into a ray of light, continuing to fly forward...
