Xueyunzi went deep into the southwest and passed through several palace walls, door corridors, and the surrounding environment gradually lost the orderly and solemn style of the palace.
The wide and square road became rugged and winding, and a thin layer of light red silk threads appeared on the top of the hall, covering the entire wall like a spider web.
As he continued to go deeper, Xueyunzi's eyes became more and more uneasy. After arriving here, his consciousness seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, and even if he unfolded it, he couldn't see clearly.
"rustle--"
Suddenly there was a slight rubbing sound in the silence. Xue Yunzi's eyes narrowed and he immediately followed the sound and approached.
Just after flying a few feet away, a red light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
On the stone wall, a huge disk showed a honeycomb-like light, and a dense swarm of blood-colored insects suddenly occupied the entire field of vision.
The insects are as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and there are countless of them. Their sharp mouthparts are rubbing against each other, making a "rustling" sound.
The moment Xueyunzi approached, all the insect swarms stopped. Thousands of pairs of compound eyes looked at Xueyunzi, and the murderous intent was like a tide.
Xueyunzi's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word.
But the sandworm is so fast, it flies behind Xueyunzi in less than a blink of an eye, easily breaks through the shield and pierces the skin.
Xueyunzi groaned miserably, and the layer of flesh and blood on his back disappeared instantly, leaving only skin and bones.
"What the hell?!"
He was so horrified that he had no time to get angry. Without saying a word, he threw Xiang Shu into the depths of the nest. When the insect swarm turned, he turned into a streak of blood and fled quickly.
Xiang Shen had been prepared for a long time, his eyes were calm and steady. As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately took off his bloody clothes and burrowed crazily underground. At the same time, the "Breath Condensation Technique" was also working crazily, covering his whole body to hide his breath.
The ground of the sandworm nest is not like the bluestone surface of the palace, but sandy ground, which is very soft.
Xiang Shumao exerted all her strength, and in less than half a breath, she dived below the surface of the earth, disturbing many sandworms sleeping in the sand. She didn't care about being frightened, and kept drilling downwards, while taking out the Yuanquan and putting it in her mouth. Drinking wildly.
The sandworms flying in the air did not expect Xiang Shu to burrow into the ground as if looking for death. The swarm of insects only stayed in place for a moment, then flew out of the nest and followed the breath in the direction where Xueyunzi escaped.
Under the surface——
The awakened sandworms quickly followed the blood traces left in the sand and chased them from all directions.
But there are a large number of sandworms sleeping in the sand, and only a few wake up. The speed of catching up is far slower than flying in the air.
Xiang Shu didn't look back, and he didn't think about whether there were sandworms catching up with him. He just burrowed deeper and deeper into the sand.
With the breath-holding technique in operation, the sandworm could only rely on the blood stains left by Xiang Shu to catch up, always a step too slow. At most, it would leave shallow wounds on Xiang Shu's legs, and then lose the trace of its prey.
The two sides chased each other for half a quarter of an hour. Xiang Shu's injuries quickly improved, the wounds on his body recovered, and the blood on his body had long been wiped away by the sand.
The blood stains completely disappeared, and the chasing sandworm suddenly became a headless fly.
Xiang Shu made a few turns in the sand and got rid of all the "pursuers".
The feeling of suffocation became heavier and heavier, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she began to rise to the ground again.
The closer to the surface, the more sandworms were sleeping in the sand, but this time Xiang Shu couldn't wake them up no matter how he moved underground.
After several attempts, Xiang Shen finally became bold and quickly climbed to the ground, carefully revealing his eyes.
I saw the red light in the surrounding nests flickering and flickering in a very rhythmic manner, as if the nest itself was sleeping, and the inside of the nest was also quiet, without the previous "rustling" sound.
After waiting for a moment, Xiang Shu crawled out of the pit and stood up openly. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the nest in front of her. As long as there was the slightest movement, she would escape to the ground again.
This time, there was still no movement in the nest.
Xiang Shen thoughtfully approached a sandworm that was not sleeping, and waved his hand boldly, but the sandworm remained unmoved.
Could it be that...these sandworms rely solely on their breath to catch their prey, and these eyes are just decorations?
While she was thinking, Xiang Shu suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from outside the nest. She walked to the edge of the nest and suddenly saw a ball of red mist flying back.
It's the group of sandworms chasing Xueyunzi. Is Xueyunzi... dead?
Xiang Shen frowned slightly.
Xueyunzi must hate herself very much at this moment. If she was not dead and she went out like this, wouldn't she be cut into pieces by him immediately?
If she dies, there will still be Yuan Zhong, and she is no match for him either.
Xiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the rapidly approaching red mist, and a dangerous idea suddenly came to his mind.
She took a step to the left and stood sideways by the nest, her eyes showing the utmost calmness.
Buzz buzz——
Swarms of blood-colored worms flew in and settled everywhere, completely ignoring Xiang Shu. A few sandworms even bumped into Xiang Shu's clothes, shook their heads, and flew around again.
The guess in his mind was confirmed, and Xiang Shen acted even bolder.
She walked out of the lair, touched the blood ring with her finger, took out a new set of black clothes and put them on.
Then, she bent down, grabbed a handful of stones, and threw them into the nest. At the same time, she released her breath-holding technique, turned around, and ran away!
The sandworm that had just returned to its nest was suddenly attacked and immediately became even more violent. It immediately formed a larger mass of blood mist and chased it away.
The speed of the blood mist was so fast that even if he ran towards Shu at full speed, in less than a blink of an eye, the blood mist would be less than a foot away from him.
At the moment when the sandworms stretched their mouthparts and were about to attack, the breath-containing technique was activated instantly, and the figures in their compound eyes disappeared.
The red mist stayed in place blankly, buzzing around for a moment, and then Xiang Shu's breath reappeared dozens of feet away.
"Hiss!!!"
The sandworms all roared loudly and started chasing after them again.
In this way, with stops and starts, Xiang Shu gradually grasped the rhythm. The violent swarm of blood-colored insects was always hanging within a hundred feet behind her. She even had time to sacrifice the bloodline emblem to determine the direction of the vortex.
Soon after re-adjusting the direction, Xiang Shu saw a small palace in the distance, with vague figures of people moving in the palace.
She immediately approached with the swarm. After approaching within a hundred feet of the palace, the blood-colored insect swarm finally discovered the people in the palace.
They were frustrated all the way and seemed to have found an outlet. They turned into a bloody hurricane and roared towards the palace.
In the white palace, a dark red vortex is slowly rotating.
Xueyunzi sat in front of the whirlpool, with a normal expression. He stretched out his hand and touched the void, shooting out several rays of blood that hit the colorful crystal layer wrapped around the whirlpool. A layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Behind him, Yuan Zhongzheng carefully protected him, but his expression was uncertain.
I don’t know what kind of material this colorful crystal layer is made of. Xueyunzi tried to break through eighteen times in a row, but the crystal layer still remained motionless. Now this is the nineteenth time...
When he met Xueyunzi before, he found that his aura was extremely weakened. Under his wide blood robe, only skin and bones were left, and the Princess of Lu State was nowhere to be found.
How injured is Xue Yunzi now? What hurt him again?
Yuan Zhong was thinking when a strong wind suddenly blew from behind him, accompanied by a faint buzzing.
"what sound?"
Yuan Zhong turned around in confusion, and was horrified to see the sky full of red rapidly magnifying in his field of vision. He was instantly swallowed up by the bloody hurricane before he could even let out a scream.
Although Xueyunzi was seriously injured, his perception was still sharp. When the wind blew into the hall, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He decisively fought back and interrupted the blood light. He turned around suddenly and happened to see the scene of Yuan Zhong being swallowed. .
"How is that possible? I clearly got rid of the insect swarm!"
Xueyunzi was filled with shock and anger. He decisively opened his mouth and spit out the bell. He bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed it on the surface of the bell. His whole body suddenly became more depressed and shaky.
The bell soaked in essence and blood emitted a strange purple light at this moment. It swayed slightly and purple ripples spread out.
In the hurricane, the insects swept by the ripples immediately seemed to be drunk, and they fell to the ground like raindrops, their wings trembling from time to time.
Xueyunzi relied on the bell to escape, knowing that these insects would not be unconscious for long, so he hurriedly escaped from the hall with his extremely weak body.
Baizhang!
As long as he escapes a hundred feet away, these insect swarms will no longer chase him.
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. As soon as he stepped out of the hall threshold with one foot, he suddenly felt that the light in front of him dimmed and a figure blocked him.
He raised his head and saw the person's face clearly, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"It's you!!"
Xiang Shen looked indifferent and did not approach Xueyunzi. He just took out the spirit dagger and held it in his palm.
Xueyunzi's eyes showed a cruel look, and just when he was about to die with Yu Xiangsheng, the dagger suddenly came out of his hand.
Ding!
The spirit dagger passed by the blood cloud, accurately penetrated the bodies of dozens of sandworms, and fell to the ground. The special aura of the blood of the sandworms filled the air instantly.
This smell immediately woke up hundreds of sandworms in advance, and flew staggeringly towards Xueyunzi.
Xueyunzi's eyes were about to burst. He raised his hand and slapped his face, and the remaining pustules on his face suddenly exploded.
The last trace of blood essence was extracted and turned into a blood shield that barely blocked the sandworm.
He raised his eyebrows at Xiang Yu, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and spoke silently.
"sucker Punch."
Xueyunzi understood. He stared at Xiang Shu with deep hatred in his eyes and extremely sadness in his heart.
How could he fall into the hands of an ant who was not even in the Foundation Establishment stage when he was so powerful at the Pill Formation Stage?
"Why...you are clearly not a descendant of the Lu family, so why do these bloody insect swarms not only not attack you, but are also controlled by you?"
Xueyunzi's voice was hoarse and he spoke quickly and quickly, "Please tell me so that I can die in peace!"
A deeply hidden murderous intention flashed in his eyes.
This is the last chance!
If the sandworm is controlled by this woman, it can completely wake up the sandworm by force, so why throw a dagger?
The other party must have used some method to hide itself so that the insect swarm cannot detect it.
As long as the other party speaks carelessly, the insect swarm will definitely sense it, and he will be able to take revenge before he dies!
Xiang Shu didn't seem to hear it at all. He approached the palace, picked up the spirit dagger, and threw it again. A big hole was immediately blasted out of the blood shield that was as brittle as thin paper!
The sandworms swarmed up and chewed up Xueyunzi in the blink of an eye until no bones were left. The Xueyun Demon Cultivator, which had dominated the world of cultivation for hundreds of years, died.
