"No, it's a level seven monster!"
"The ancient Xuanjing centipede is actually such a monster!"
"What, are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Of course not. The whole body is as transparent as crystal, which is the characteristic of this monster. This is a monster that was very famous in ancient times. The demon elixir in its body is the main ingredient for refining the top elixir 'Pure Heart Pill', which is precious. Extremely…”
"Pure Heart Pill, that's not the legendary medicine that can get rid of inner demons and increase the chance of a monk condensing the Nascent Soul..."
"Isn't it? It's really because of this that this monster was hunted in large numbers in ancient times, and then gradually became extinct. But I didn't expect that there was a nest hidden here..."
"..."
When they saw the six giant centipedes with ferocious faces, everyone was filled with awe, but they didn't have much fear.
There are more than twenty monks in the alchemy stage here, and there are even five in the middle stage. It is not easy to deal with a seventh-level monster, plus five fifth-level monsters.
At this moment, listening to the discussion between the two of them, I was instantly moved.
The Pure Heart Pill is actually such a precious medicine!
Everyone is a monk in the elixir formation stage, so naturally they have a certain yearning for the condensation of Nascent Soul, especially a few mid-stage monks, their hearts are surging.
Even if it is not for refining medicine, as long as these 'Xuanjing Centipedes' are hunted and brought back to the Inner Star Sea, all the materials in their bodies can be sold for sky-high prices.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't bear it anymore. They each used their own magic weapons and swarmed up to the six giant centipedes who were still a little confused below.
The six Xuanjing centipedes were indeed a little confused. They were obviously chasing a prey, but they never thought that the prey they were chasing suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a group of prey.
Fear!
Insect monsters are basically not very intelligent. On the contrary, each one is more fierce than the other. Facing the incoming "prey", they naturally rush forward without fear.
In an instant, the two sides were fighting fiercely.
It has to be said that the Xuanjing Centipede is indeed terrifying. Its defense power alone is frighteningly high. Even ordinary magic weapons cannot break through the opponent's back armor with one blow. Its attack power is even more powerful, and its hundreds of blades are extremely sharp. In terms of pure physical attacks, it is no worse than the monk's magic weapon.
Moreover, streams of pure cold air are sprayed out from its mouth from time to time. In conjunction with the nearby cold air vortex, the lethality is doubled. In fact, because they come from the same source, under the leadership of the seventh-level centipede, they actually know how to unite and cooperate, greatly increased combat effectiveness.
In short, in this battle, it seemed that the human race had a large number of people, but it was at a slight disadvantage. It was suppressed by several monster beasts, and casualties appeared within a few moments.
"Fellow Taoists, listen to me, we can't fight on our own like this, otherwise even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses." One of the silver-haired old men, whose cultivation was at the peak of the middle stage of pill formation, suddenly said.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Bai from Lieyang Sect. If you have any suggestions, please speak up."
"It's very simple. I'll wait for the five mid-term monks to entangle the strongest seventh-level monster first, and the other fellow Taoists will take the opportunity to deal with the five smaller ones. Later, we will take action together and complete the victory in one battle..."
"How will we allocate them afterward?" Another voice suddenly sounded, but it was a middle-aged man in black robes with a stern face. His cultivation was at the same middle stage of pill formation.
"It turns out that he is Fellow Daoist Huo from the Demon Samurai Sect. I have admired him for a long time." The moment he saw the man in black robe, the silver-haired old man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he continued,
"It's too early to consider distributing the spoils now. The most urgent task is to kill all these Xuanjing centipedes without being able to escape."
"Forget it, according to what Fellow Taoist Bai said, no one would dare to rob my two brothers of what they deserve." The man in black robe glanced at the man in white robe next to him, and without any further hesitation, he immediately directed the magic weapon towards The seventh-level monster attacks.
The human monks quickly divided into two groups. One group was responsible for holding back the strongest one, while the remaining dozen or so people formed groups of three and began to besiege several level five Xuanjing centipedes.
The situation suddenly changed, and the wise side of the human monks was fully revealed, but the six mysterious crystal centipedes that were divided and surrounded were instantly put into a disadvantageous situation. Not only were they unable to cooperate with each other, they were attacked in turn like flying kites. In this way, no matter how strong the defense was, it was useless.
As time passed, the seventh-level ones were okay, but the five fifth-level Xuanjing Centipedes were constantly attacked by the human monks, and soon they could no longer hold on. Within a few moments, casualties began to appear one after another.
The seventh-level Xuanjing Centipede obviously sensed the danger of his five children, and immediately went crazy and attacked the surrounding enemies. Unfortunately, after all, they were single and weak. Facing five veterans with rich combat experience, they were still unable to break out of the encirclement. In a hurry, he could only keep spewing cold air around him crazily.
This is obviously not possible. Not to mention consuming the demonic power in the body, it will not have any effect. The five monks who were in the middle stage of forming pills felt extremely happy. After all, they were monsters with low intelligence and could not display their strength no matter how strong they were.
Soon after, several level 5 demons were killed, and all the human monks quickly surrounded them. Suddenly, nearly twenty magic weapons of all kinds attacked like a torrential rain at the level 7 Xuanjing Centipede.
The seventh-level Xuanjing Centipede indeed has strong defensive power. However, how can it survive in the face of so many magic weapons? After a large amount of demonic power was consumed, the spiritual light on the body began to dim, and the armor was also cracked and damaged in large areas. It was obvious that the injury was serious.
"No, it's going to run away..." Someone noticed it instantly and quickly issued a warning. The old man surnamed Bai seemed to have expected it, and a small golden net the size of a palm appeared in his hand. With the input of mana, the golden net instantly expanded to dozens of feet in length and width, and instantly covered it downwards.
At the same time, his hands moved the seal very quickly, and the golden net began to shrink rapidly as if it had spirituality, and it was about to wrap the seventh-level Xuanjing Centipede in it.
However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly lit up on the ground, and the golden net paused for a moment as if it was stuck. The giant centipede also took advantage of this rare gap and quickly dived into the hole below, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
What just happened? Why did the golden net suddenly seem to malfunction and let the Xuanjing Centiped escape?
"If Wu remembers it correctly, this should be Fellow Daoist Bai's famous treasure 'Golden Locking Net', which is extremely capable of trapping enemies. Fellow Daoist, can you explain why you let that evil beast go just now?"
"Yes, I managed to beat him seriously and then let him run away for fun..."
"Fellow Taoist, I don't think he knows the art of earth escape. He thinks that after we leave, he can go down and devour it for himself..."
"..."
In an instant, a barrage of questions came pouring in, which made the old man surnamed Bai look extremely ugly.
"Even if Mr. Bai knows the art of earth escape, how can he possibly enter the depths of the earth? The talk of swallowing alone is pure nonsense. Mr. Bai swears with his Taoist heart that what happened just now was definitely not my doing. If there is any deception, I will practice in this life. Can’t deposit anymore.”
The Taoist oath is no joke, especially for monks, the way of heaven cannot be deceived, and it will definitely come true. The old man surnamed Bai was forced to swear an oath with his Taoist heart. It can be confirmed that he was not doing anything secretly just now.
But who could it be if it wasn't the other party?
"The flash of golden light just now was a bit strange. It seemed that the surrounding metallic aura was suddenly disordered for a moment, which made Fellow Daoist Bai's 'Golden Locking Net' temporarily ineffective."
"Could it be some evil beast's innate magic..."
"Or is it that a certain fellow Taoist made a secret move..."
"Who is so full that they can do something like this that harms others and does not benefit oneself..."
"Then who knows, maybe some fellow Taoist has other ideas..."
"..."
Suddenly, everyone started to argue.
The old man surnamed Bai did not participate in it, but stretched out his hand to take back the golden net. Looking at the small golden net suspended in the palm of my hand, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Why did it suddenly malfunction? This has never happened before.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he immediately let go of his consciousness and looked under the ground. Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
In fact, more than one person thought of the same place as him, and they all searched the ground many times, but found nothing. Otherwise, there would be no quarrel here.
"Alright everyone, it's useless to continue arguing like this. You might as well each swear an oath with your Taoist heart, so that you can prove your innocence."
After hearing this, even if someone swore, others did not hesitate and uttered their oaths one after another.
"This..." At this point, everyone was completely stunned. It was not done by anyone present, and there was no one else hiding under the ground. Then, there can only be one truth, which is some unknown talent of that evil beast.
I have to say that this conclusion makes people very helpless, but they can only accept it.
Since the seventh-level one ran away, we can only divide the rest. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the former in terms of value. However, after all, it is the legendary ancient Xuanjing Centipede, and it has reached level five. It is definitely a rare thing with a price but no market, and it will not lose anything in the end.
After some discussion, each of the five mid-stage pill-forming monks received a demon pill. The rest of the materials, including muscles, bones, skin, flesh, blood, demon souls, etc., were shared equally by more than a dozen other monks who were in the early stage of forming pills. Especially the hundreds of centipede blades and legs were extremely rare materials for refining weapons.
I came to Ji Xuan Bingyan to hunt for treasures. Now that I haven't found other treasures, I have obtained these monster materials, so I didn't come back empty-handed.
In this way, everyone was very happy and had no interest in staying any longer, so they left one after another.
Somewhere on the sea, the old man surnamed Bai suddenly stopped, glanced in a certain direction, and then fell into deep thought.
"Brother Bai, what doubts do you have?" a voice sounded, but it was another monk in the Danjie stage.
"Bai believes what others say, but those two people..." The old man surnamed Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Brother Bai is referring to the two brothers Huo Xin and Huo Li of the Demon Salmonella?"
"Yes." The old man surnamed Bai nodded and continued,
"These two brothers are called the Black and White Demons. In the past, they deceived their master and exterminated their ancestors in order to steal the treasure of the Demon Salmon Sect, 'Yinhun Sand'. They were wanted for many years afterwards. They are by no means easy to deal with. What happened just now is unexpected. They didn't say a word from beginning to end, which was really not in line with their personalities."
"They all swore an oath with Taoism, so they won't lie after all, right?" Another person frowned.
"I don't know about this, but for some reason, I always feel that something is wrong. Especially that inexplicable golden light, which can temporarily cause the surrounding metallic aura to be temporarily disordered, which is really confusing."
"Perhaps it really is the life-saving technique of that evil beast. Why should Brother Bai bother with it? Now that he has obtained a demon pill of Xuanjing Centipede, using it as the main medicine is enough to refine a furnace of 'Pure Heart Pill'. Whether you take it yourself or sell it, it’s a considerable fortune.”
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, Bai will leave one for you."
"Haha, thank you so much, Brother Bai."
…
In another part of the sea, the Huo brothers mentioned by the old man surnamed Bai also stopped and escaped.
"Are you sure your induction just now was correct?" The man in black robe frowned and asked suddenly.
"The ghost technique I practice is best at finding traces. I left a ghost mark on that evil beast before. As the opponent went hundreds of feet underground, something suddenly happened. It seemed that I had encountered a strong enemy. , it was destroyed in an instant, and the ghost mark was also transferred. Now the mark has left the island and rushed in another direction. For the reason, big brother should be able to guess." The man in white robe replied affirmatively. .
"The snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit, but this person is hiding deep enough!" The man in black robe sneered and continued,
"In that case, we brothers will go meet this 'master' for a while."
…
Time goes back half an hour.
Somewhere underground on the island, Mo Juren, who secretly typed out a golden edict, quickly started the breath gathering technique, and his body was covered with more than ten intermediate breath gathering charms. In this way, not to mention the monks at the Dan Formation stage above, even the powerful ones at the Nascent Soul Stage would find it difficult to detect his existence easily.
However, the effect of the Golden Edict just now is much worse than that of the Water Edict. The area of influence is only one foot in radius, and the time is only a blink of an eye. However, this was completely enough. It was just a moment of stagnation, and the giant centipede took the opportunity to escape.
He also heard the previous discussions, and when he learned that this giant centipede was actually the Xuanjing Centipede that had been extinct since ancient times, he felt a burning sensation in his heart.
Of course, you can't miss the demon blood and demon soul. However, this demon pill can also be used to refine the 'Pure Heart Pill', which can get rid of the inner demons of monks when they conceive babies. It is definitely a rare treasure.
Therefore, you must get it no matter what.
However, although the opponent has been seriously injured, it is still a level seven monster and is not so easy to deal with. It would be too noisy, so it would be better to do it deep underground.
Thinking of this, he immediately ran away quickly downwards.
Xuanjing Centipede, who finally escaped, naturally didn't know that he was being secretly assisted by someone, so he managed to escape with his life. Unfortunately, it was running frantically for its life but it didn't know that everything was in vain, and its death was only delayed for a moment.
After walking along the hole for about several hundred feet, suddenly, a green sword light suddenly shot out from below, immediately blocking the way.
At this time, the Xuanjing Centipede was like a frightened bird. When it sensed the attack, it immediately stopped, opened its huge mouth, and spit out a stream of pure cold air.
However, before the cold breath in his mouth stopped, a huge figure suddenly flashed across his back, hidden under a layer of yellow light.
It was the red golden ape that was released in advance by Mo Juren with the intermediate earth escape talisman. At this time, the opponent was not the original height of more than ten feet, but shrunk to the size of ten feet, but still looked like a little giant.
The moment Xuanjing Centipede stopped, a huge red-gold palm came out like lightning, and suddenly inserted into the body from the exposed wound on its neck. Five thick fingers pressed it to one side like steel claws. On the cave wall.
The other giant palm was not idle either, grabbing the broken back armor and starting to tear it apart wildly. Its divine power is incomparable, and it can actually tear the opponent's back armor as tough as a magic weapon from the body.
It was already seriously injured, and the severe pain coming from its neck made the Xuanjing Centipede struggle violently. However, the hole was too narrow, completely restricting its movements. Even hundreds of sharp blades could not move it. Useful.
The Xuanjing Centipede was considered to have a strong vitality, but unfortunately, it was already seriously injured and could no longer hold on in the face of such brutal physical injuries. Its vital signs became weaker and weaker, and eventually it lost its voice.
