"It's the King of Hell ants, everyone, be careful!"
Zhong Shanhu shouted loudly and backed away in fear. People in the quicksand area no longer knew what the original name of this ant was. They only knew that seeing this ant was like seeing the king of hell. There were hundreds of thousands of them when they appeared. They were so vast that bones were everywhere they passed. No scum is left.
When they can't fly in the air, no one in the desert can outrun these ants. They can easily tear into pieces lower than seventh-grade magic weapons, secrete highly corrosive formic acid, and even a little bit of it can corrode bones into tofu. Scum.
Jiang Yuebai rushed to the front of the crowd and swung out the wave whip fiercely. Layers of fire waves lit up the night sky, rolling up the yellow sand and crushing them.
When Sha Yingjie pushed through the crowd and ran over, he was surprised to see that most of the Hades ants that had just emerged were burned to death.
Jiang Yuebai kept wielding the Talang whip, and a woman was in charge, forcibly suppressing the King of Hell ants.
The ground shook, the surrounding yellow sand continued to rise upwards, and more Hades ants spewed out like a fountain.
"withdraw!"
Sha Yingjie didn't want to get entangled with the King of Hell ants, so he immediately asked everyone to leave.
The boots on his feet could walk in the air like Jindan Zhenren, and were not affected by sandstorms. Sha Yingjie immediately stepped into the air and took the first step.
The others fled quickly, but before they could take two steps, they desperately found that they were surrounded by the King of Hell ants. Everywhere they looked, there were ant colonies.
The storm was raging outside the protective formation, making it impossible to fly out in the air.
Seeing this situation, all the qi-training monks retreated towards Jiang Yuebai, and all kinds of spells were thrown to the ground in a mess.
The sky is filled with yellow sand, talismans and spells are flying around, and the rustling sound makes people's scalp numb.
Zhong Shanhu, Yu Tianlie and Jiang Yuebai formed a triangular formation. The magic weapons in their hands continued to blast out sharp brilliance, and their momentum was overwhelming.
While Jiang Yuebai waved the Tat wave whip, two leaf hands in the sea of consciousness stirred rapidly, wind and clouds surged, and golden needles struck thunder.
Cloud thunder breaks!
The silver light shines, the arc sputters, and the thunder hits the ground.
Blade flow and wind kill!
The golden hurricane is violent and unruly, roaring and crushing.
Under the dark night, the roar shook the sky and the earth, the magic light rose and fell with great force, and the battle was extremely fierce.
A single Hell Ant is not strong, but there are huge numbers, and there is an endless supply of them.
Jiang Yuebai and the other three foundation-building monks can still support it, but those Qi-training monks can only support it with low-level spells and talismans.
"ah!"
Screams were heard, and a male Qi practitioner fell into the ant colony of the King of Hell. Cao Gang swept away the ant colony with a beheading sword. When he rushed over and dragged the person out, he found that only half of his body was left, and he was already dead. .
"Get out of my way, young master!"
Sha Yingjie's voice suddenly came. He stood above everyone's heads, waved his hand and threw out a large handful of fiery red beads.
"Everyone come here!!"
Upon seeing this, Cao Gang quickly pulled the people around him together. Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie threw out their self-defense weapons to resist with all their strength, and Jiang Yuebai also used a fire ribbon to protect his body.
Boom boom boom!
The ground shook, explosions continued, flames and arcs fiercely collided, ripples spread inch by inch, and even the yellow sand was annihilated into ashes.
When the red lightning dissipated, Jiang Yuebai put away the fire ribbon and found that all the qi-training monks could not withstand the pressure just now and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
The place where everyone was was seemed to be an isolated island, surrounded by deep, charred pits that stretched for more than a hundred feet, which was shocking.
The power of this bead is actually three points stronger than Tianleizi.
"A bunch of trash! What a waste of so many Fire Thunder Orbs from me, young master!"
Sha Yingjie walked slowly down from mid-air and glanced at Jiang Yuebai with an arrogant expression.
Jiang Yuebai thought for a while and then said to Sha Yingjie: "These ants may have been driven here by someone. I felt someone on the other side of the sand dune just now."
Sha Yingjie didn't care, "There is no one in the Quicksand Region who is as ambitious as the leopard who dares to kill me. He must be one of your enemies. Don't worry, I am here to keep you safe."
Jiang Yuebai just wanted to roll his eyes. Mingshafang was just a local snake in the Quicksand Region, but this guy was so arrogant.
Compared with him, Xie Jingshan was so low-key that he would wrap a spiritual sword in a broken magic weapon shell. When everyone met, he would tell everyone that he was just a seller and he was just an ordinary person.
This encounter caused some Qi-training monks to retreat, and Sha Yingjie got angry on the spot. Those casual cultivators could not afford to offend Ming Shafang Sha, so they could only bite the bullet and continue on.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie were doing things as usual and didn't say anything.
They have been used to licking blood from the tip of the knife all year round, not to mention the Devil's City. Without Sha Yingjie to lead the way, they would not be able to enter.
At dawn, the storm subsided, and everyone bandaged their injuries and continued on their way.
On the way back, we often encountered sneak attacks from low-level monsters, but all of them were just fine.
Along the way, Jiang Yuebai controlled the Shadow Moon Mother Blade and Huo Ling at the same time. While killing monsters, she became more and more accustomed to multitasking. The dizzy feeling she had previously felt lessened as she adapted.
All the materials for the monsters hunted on the road were collected by Cao Gang and would be distributed after returning. Jiang Yuebai originally wanted some beast souls, but Cao Gang politely refused.
It doesn't matter if it's other materials, Sha Yingjie asked for the beast soul by name.
In this way, Jiang Yuebai had no choice but to give up.
The journey was uneventful. Jiang Yuebai kept the wind net open behind the team. Except for two encounters with other demon hunting teams, no other suspicious figures were found.
Half a month later, they finally arrived outside the Devil's City deep in the Silver Sand Sea.
Standing high on the sand dunes, Jiang Yuebai saw a strange rock city with no end in sight. It was a vast earth-yellow color and devoid of any life.
Jiang Yuebai withdrew his gaze slightly and saw half-buried corpses in the yellow sand from the dunes to the edge of Devil City. Broken weapons were everywhere, and poisonous snakes were coiled in the shadows of the weapons to avoid the scorching sun.
"It seems that Wusheng Temple and Fuhumen had another fight here not long ago."
"Fighting every day, and after the fighting, they go around arresting people to join their sect. This quicksand area is simply unbearable."
Sha Yingjie led people down. There were several burly monks carrying big axes guarding the edge of Devil City.
Upon seeing this, Cao Gang hurried forward to greet him, showed his token of Mingshafang, and handed over a pack of spiritual stones.
"Last time I came here, the monk from Wansheng Temple was guarding here. Why is it that you have changed from Fuhumen this time?"
Facing Cao Gang's inquiry, the martial arts cultivator from Fuhumen kept his words and put away the spirit stone to make way for the entrance without saying a word.
The Devil's City is cool and empty, and various reptiles can be seen everywhere flashing through the cracks in the rocks in the corners.
There are also golden-eyed eagles watching eagerly from high places and emitting eagle cries from time to time, which is full of oppression.
The outskirts of Devil City are relatively safe. The insect beasts are hiding in their lairs and do not actively attack passers-by.
As everyone continued to go deeper, a large number of poisonous scorpions began to emerge from the surrounding area, and poisonous spiders spewed silk from high places.
They walked for half an hour, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at a place surrounded by rock hills on three sides. Half of the ground in the center collapsed, and it was pitch black underneath, exuding a dank and putrid smell.
There are traces of slashing and burning everywhere on the rock hill, as well as collapsed gravel, which shows that a battle broke out here.
"Cao Gang, quickly set up the array and light the insect repellent incense."
As Sha Yingjie's most capable subordinate, Cao Gang led his men to quickly prop up the temporary camp at the original location.
Sha Yingjie walked up to Jiang Yuebai and the others, looking proud.
"Now that I'm here, I'll tell you the truth. I'm here to hunt down the Scorpion King in the fake elixir realm below. You don't need to be nervous. The Scorpion King was seriously injured by me last time and won't be able to recover in the past few months."
"The ugly words are ahead. I want the Scorpion King's soul and the fake elixir. You can share the rest equally. If there are other spiritual fruit and elixirs below, I want 70%. If you have no objections, take the time to rest. After half an hour Let’s go in together.”
Sha Yingjie left, and Jiang Yuebai looked at the other two people. They looked away calmly, each with their own agenda.
Sha Yingjie was arrogantly directing Cao Gang and the others to work over there. Jiang Yuebai was just thinking about how to break away from the team when he caught a glimpse of two figures and quickly disappeared into the insect nest.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie broke away from the team and ran away on their own!
Sha Yingjie reacted belatedly, his eyes widened and he became furious.
"You two, come back to me, young master! Bastards!!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai smiled. It turned out that she was not the only one who wanted to burn down the bridge and go it alone.
So what is she waiting for? Goodbye!
Jiang Yue flicked the Baitu escape talisman and disappeared in front of Sha Yingjie.
Sha Yingjie was stabbed in the heart again and became furious.
He usually takes his disciples out to hunt monsters, but he has never encountered such a situation.
"This unlucky river has capsized, and it's all because of her!!"
