Yuan Ming pulled out his long sword and quickly came to Silver Cat's side.
At this moment, he could feel birds singing and roaring from all directions from time to time, and the ground was shaking faintly. The effect of the beast-attracting incense was gradually appearing.
"Xiying, how are you?" He asked repeatedly. He looked at the silver cat carefully and touched the cat's head.
This was the first time the silver cat allowed him to touch her body, and the cat's head felt soft to the touch.
The silver cat squatted on the ground and was touched by him. It tilted its head and glanced at him, then opened its mouth and said: "Meow..."
Meow?
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then frowned and noticed something was wrong.
In the eyes of the silver cat looking at him, the original agility and arrogance disappeared, replaced by an instinctive gaze belonging to a spiritual beast.
He was allowed to touch her, so what happened to the silver cat in front of her?
But the sweet voices of the sparrow and sunset that led the way before were not fake at all. They were clearly the ones who led him here.
"Xiying?" Yuan Ming tried calling again.
The silver cat responded obviously to his call, but it was not the same reaction as before. It just said "meow" again.
Just when Yuan Ming was in shock and doubt, Xiying's voice suddenly rang out from his sea of consciousness.
"That's Guoguo, my spiritual pet. I'm in this woman's body."
Hearing this, Yuan Ming subconsciously looked at the woman in white wearing transparent embroidered shoes lying next to Silver Cat. Her eyes were closed tightly, and there was no breath fluctuation in her body.
"What's going on?" Yuan Ming was confused.
"She was injured by Xi Cangqiong before, and her soul was severely damaged, and she is about to collapse. This Five Elements Integrated Spiritual Root has a good body. Originally, my split soul was possessed by Guoguo, but now I plan to possess her, temporarily Let me borrow her body for a while." Xiying explained.
"So that's it, you can still have a separate soul!" Yuan Ming said in surprise.
"Yes, the main soul controls the body to practice, and the separated soul comes out to play." Xiying replied.
"Is it possible for soul cultivators to still be like this?" Yuan Ming asked, unable to help but be fascinated.
"Of course, I am a genius girl." Xiying said proudly, "But the body controlled by my split soul cannot realize my complete strength, otherwise I can kill Xi Cangqiong with just one little finger."
"You are so awesome." Yuan Ming sincerely complimented Xiying and then said, "I just lit the beast-attracting incense. There will be more and more ferocious beasts soon. Let's go to a safe place."
"It's too late. If you delay for a moment, this woman's original soul will collapse, and this body will be completely destroyed. It's such a pity. I have to cast the spell immediately. If you can't stop it, just run away. No need. No matter what, I'll go back to Guoguo's body at worst." After Xiying finished speaking, he paused and said, "Well, Xi Cangqiong is now entangled in three pill-forming stages, and now I have no more troubles."
"Okay, I will protect you for the rest of the time." Yuan Ming said while looking around.
"Okay, I'll be back in a while. I really look forward to the feeling of being an array mage." Xiying said.
After saying that, he saw the female formation master lying on the ground suddenly sitting up.
The body suddenly became breathy, and the body was like a puppet on strings, sitting cross-legged and making gestures with both hands.
While she was sitting cross-legged, a hazy light suddenly lit up between her eyebrows, and a shadow that looked like a three-legged golden crow appeared in it and disappeared in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, the aura on her body fluctuated.
It began to become stronger, and a wave of divine soul radiated from his body from weak to strong.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming raised his hand to recall the nine-ring golden sword and put it away. He held the Hanxing Sword in one hand and guarded Xiying's side.
After he slashed and killed more than a dozen ferocious beasts that rushed towards him with his sword, the movement of the beasts from all directions became more intense, and the ground also shook from a slight vibration at first to a strong one now.
He originally wanted to light up the mist incense to cover the area, but he was afraid that it would be dispersed by the ferocious beasts that came later. Once he accidentally left Xiying's side, it would be even more difficult to protect the body of the female formation master.
And now
I can't use the incense, so I can only rely on my own skills to hold on.
"Isn't it just a stick of incense?" He grinned and became proud.
At this time, seventeen or eight more ferocious beasts that were affected by the beast-attracting incense discovered the two people and one cat here. Aroused by their ferocious animalistic nature, they immediately rushed towards this side.
Yuan Ming glanced around and saw that the one with the strongest aura among the ferocious beasts that came was only an intermediate level one, and he felt a little relieved.
He strode forward, standing just over three feet away from Xi Ying, and pinched the spell with one hand. The Hanxing Sword in his hand immediately lit up with starlight, and flew out, heading straight towards the ferocious beasts.
The object-repelling technique controls the Hanxing Sword like an arm, and is invincible among the ferocious beasts. Wherever the sword light passes, the aura of extreme cold fills the air. Each ferocious beast is chopped to pieces by the long sword, but no blood spills out.
In just a few breaths, almost all of the dozen or so ferocious beasts were killed, and they couldn't even come close to Yuan Ming, let alone Xiying.
For a time, the surroundings were piled with corpses of ferocious beasts of different sizes. Although Yuan Ming still had a lot of energy left, he was already somewhat out of breath from the fight.
The silver cat Guoguo looked at the scene in front of her and opened her mouth lazily and yawned.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming sighed inwardly. There was no doubt that the silver cat in front of him was Guoguo's true form. With Xiying's temperament, if he possessed the silver cat, it would be impossible for him to do such an action in front of him.
After just one glance, Yuan Ming immediately looked away.
The effect of the beast-attracting incense will not disappear for a while, and a steady stream of vicious beasts are coming towards the back mountain.
Although their place is not the center of the attack of ferocious beasts and will not be invaded by the tide of beasts from all directions, it is also the hardest-hit area where ferocious beasts gather, so they cannot be careless.
Not long after, the sky became a little dark, and a large number of ferocious birds and many similarly affected birds flew past the mountain forest, heading towards the Biluo Cave.
Under the influence of the beast-attracting incense, they still gathered in that direction and did not attack Yuan Ming and the others for the time being.
But after the effect of the beast-attracting incense disappears, it is hard to say what the goals of these ferocious beasts will be.
While Yuan Ming was on guard, there was suddenly a loud "rumbling" sound in the mountain forest.
Pieces of trees ahead were broken and collapsed. Dozens of sharp-toothed wild boar beasts with rough heads and thick flesh formed a square formation and charged towards this side with red eyes. Smoke and dust were everywhere.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming frowned slightly.
This time, he was not in a hurry to go forward and kill. After all, he was not sure of killing dozens of wild boar beasts with one sword.
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand and used his finger to exorcise objects like a sword.
And as soon as he raised his hand, a hidden dark light flashed away in his sleeve, and the black needle weapon flew out quickly, drawing a vague curve trace in mid-air, and went around to one side of the entire wild boar phalanx. Hover.
"go."
Yuan Ming waved his finger and the black steel needle made a trembling sound, then shot out quickly with a "whoosh".
The black trace of light flashed away, and in an instant it flew from the left side of the ferocious wild boar beast rushing in the front row to the right side.
"Click..."
The rune marks on the surface of the steel needle were stained with a layer of blood, and there was a drop of bright red blood dripping from the trembling tail. As the blood fell to the ground, the dozen or so ferocious wild boar beasts that ran at the front had no time to let out a scream, and they all fell down together, losing their vitality at the same time.
The ferocious wild boars running behind were caught off guard and were blocked by their dead companions. They fell to the ground one after another, making a mess. Some of them were running too fast, and the impact force was too great. They were tripped and flew directly into the air. .
Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming controlled the black needle weapon and continued to shuttle among the fallen beasts to kill them. At the same time, he jumped up in the air and killed the ferocious beasts that leaped over with his sword.
Soon, all the ferocious wild boar beasts were killed.
But before Yuan Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, the ground rumbled and shook, and a large number of ferocious beasts attacked, more in number than before, and more loosely distributed, almost attacking in a fan shape.
Yuan Ming concentrated on using the object-repelling technique,
Control the flying needle to rush back and forth among the beasts.
But because the distribution of the herd this time was too scattered, the effect was not as good as when it killed the wild boar herd just now. There were still a large number of ferocious beasts rushing here.
Yuan Ming held the Hanxing Sword and used the Wind Swiftness and Shadowless Steps to the extreme. He shuttled back and forth in front of the female formation mage, rushing left and right, constantly killing all the beasts that slipped through the net.
In just a short time, large piles of corpses had been piled up in the direction of the beast tide.
And he himself was covered in blood.
Yuan Ming stood with his sword in hand, breathing heavily. He looked back at the female formation master and saw that she was still sitting cross-legged.
The silver cat Guoguo was still squatting beside her, looking lazy, as if he didn't care about the fierce battle happening around him.
Yuan Ming took a breath and just started to think about the matter of soul separation. Suddenly he felt the vibration of the ground again, and another group of ferocious beasts arrived.
He took advantage of Soul Crow's field of vision to take in the situation earlier, and suddenly nearly a hundred ferocious beasts came from behind.
The most troublesome thing was the python with green scales and a single horn running at the front. The aura fluctuations emanating from it were already at the second level of the elementary level, and it was a ferocious beast equivalent to the foundation-building stage.
This is not someone who can be solved casually...
Sure enough, when Yuan Ming controlled the black needle and pounced away again, he was discovered by this ferocious beast with keen spiritual sense.
It turned its head towards the flying needle sneaking up from the side and let out a mouthful of white cold breath.
The intense cold air condensed the water vapor in the void, forming layers of ice crystals to block it, successfully slowing down the speed of the flying needle.
After it penetrated through layers of ice crystals, it was picked up by the sharp horn of the one-horned green-scaled python and knocked away.
The huge body of the one-horned green-scaled python swam quickly and climbed up a mountain of beast corpses. It raised a snake head high and looked down at Yuan Ming below with cold eyes.
However, what greeted it was a blazing flame the size of a human head. Yuan Ming knew that it was impossible for the steel needle to kill the one-horned blue-scaled python, so he had already started to accumulate power by using the sight of the corpse mountain to block it, and prepared the explosive technique.
He grinned, and immediately showed a smile, and the fireball immediately flew out with a "whoosh".
Seeing the blazing flames approaching, the crazy one-horned green-scaled python had no intention of avoiding it. The snake first leaned back to gather strength, and then plunged down, opening its mouth to spit out a blast of extremely cold wind.
The white cold air was blown by the strong wind and formed a torrent of cold air, heading straight for Yuan Ming.
The blazing fireball rushed straight up against the cold air. The extremely high temperature instantly evaporated the cold air, and a large amount of white mist emerged, obscuring Yuan Ming's vision.
But the next moment, a fiery red sun lit up in the white mist.
The blazing fire expanded violently and expanded rapidly. From a fireball the size of a human head, it exploded into a dazzling wall of fire. Countless flames of light scattered in all directions, evaporating all the mist.
In the bright firelight, the body of the one-horned green-scaled python exploded and turned into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.
Even the mountain of corpses piled with corpses of ferocious beasts was blown open, and the broken corpses of ferocious beasts were everywhere.
The herd of beasts rushed from behind, and they were inevitably hit. Some ferocious beasts that were not known for their physical strength were pierced by the strong impact and scattered animal bones, leaving them dead and injured.
Yuan Ming took advantage of the chaos and once again controlled the black needle to charge among the beasts, and quickly eliminated this wave of beasts.
After this wave, Yuan Ming staggered and couldn't help but feel weak, as if both his mana and physical strength had been drained.
He quickly took out a pill and drank it, while holding a spiritual stone in one hand to quickly restore his mana.
After a moment, Yuan Ming suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky.
I saw that the dark beasts above my head suddenly began to become turbulent, and some ferocious beasts and birds suddenly began to attack the ferocious beasts next to them, and started fighting indiscriminately.
This means that the beast-attracting incense he released previously has begun to lose its effectiveness. The next herd of beasts will not continue to gather here, and the danger is almost over.
Before Yuan Ming could look back, the ferocious beasts hovering above his head were already attracted by the rich blood smell, and they discovered that they were swooping down.
Yuan Ming sighed, and had no choice but to control the black steel needle again and rush away quickly.
At the moment, controlling the black needle is the most practical way to play. After all, this object is exquisite and consumes the least mana. It is also the easiest to control with Yuan Ming's own soul power.
As for Yuan Ming himself, he had to recover his mana as soon as possible. As long as no second-level ferocious beast appeared, he would try his best not to take action to preserve his strength.
But the group of ferocious beasts in the sky, especially the seven or eight scavenging vultures, obviously did not want him to live in peace.
They all flew in all directions, constantly swooping down and attacking. Each of them was flexible and extremely fast, making it difficult for the black needle to be effective.
In desperation, Yuan Ming patted the body bag and summoned the corpse in the elixir formation stage, Master Tian Snake.
At the same time as the corpse refining appeared, the soul crow that Yuan Ming had left in the cave had also flown back. Without any pause, it crashed into the corpse refining's head and disappeared into the cave.
The next moment, Master Tian Snake's eyes flashed, and he started to move.
Wearing a pair of black gloves on his hands, he came not far from the female formation master, focusing on alert.
If those carrion-eating vultures were just eating the carcasses of dead animals, Yuan Ming would not have to worry about them, but if they attacked "Xiying" as if they were corpses, he would take action immediately.
Even if the black needle can't stop it, there is still Master Tian Serpent, which adds an extra layer of protection.
I don’t know how long it took, but the forest finally gradually became quiet, and there were many corpses of ferocious beasts around again.
