Beishan Dashi Valley, Nei Valley
"Escape quickly! There are toothburial centipedes infesting here!"
As Ming Zishan led Dantong disciples to evacuate, he shouted to other teams entering the slope along the way.
"Elder..."
When other disciples from the team saw the Tianyun Sect running for their lives, they looked at their leader with some emotion and asked for advice.
"Ignore them and continue looking... The Tooth-Burning Centipede has always been in the deep valley, how could it appear here. After all, Tianyun Sect is just a group of medicine jars with no real ability..."
An elder in purple from the Qingyang Sect said with disbelief.
Although Ming Zishan shouted all the way, very few people responded.
Except for a few stray cultivators who entered the valley alone, the sect team was almost indifferent.
"well……"
While running, Ming Zishan saw that these teams were still looking for Dugu Youlan.
Knowing that no one would listen to him no matter what he said at this moment, he could only sigh and turned around as he had done his best to be benevolent and righteous.
However, the group had not run far yet.
Just listen to "bang"!
A behemoth suddenly emerged from behind the earth in the distance, soared directly into the sky, jumped into the air in an instant, and then pressed from the void to the ground with a huge demonic energy.
"Boom!"
The behemoth hit the ground steadily, and its thousands of sharp legs like steel spears penetrated deeply into the rock and soil.
"It's the tooth-burial centipede!"
"Really, the tooth-burial centipede!?"
Seeing this shocking scene, many leaders exclaimed, it was unbelievable.
Ming Zishan and his group, who had run not far away, also stopped in their tracks and looked back.
Not far away, I saw a huge centipede that was more than thirty meters long and four meters wide, with a shiny black body. It was spitting out gray demonic energy and grinding its two large jaw teeth in a "clang" sound in its mouth. The seven or eight meter long red tentacles are particularly eye-catching when they probe the void.
"W-what's going on!?"
"How could this happen? What Tianyun Sect and the others said is true!"
"It's over..."
…………
At this moment, many people's minds were in a mess, and there was too much they couldn't figure out.
But at this moment, there is no time to find out.
Escape for your life without delay!
When many sect disciples who were inexperienced in the world saw this huge tooth-buried centipede, their faces suddenly turned pale and their hearts turned ashen.
Even the elders who led the team changed their expressions.
They desperately want to know:
Doesn't the toothburial centipede only appear in deep valleys?
Why did it suddenly appear here?
This is just the inner valley!
"Hiss~"
The Buried Tooth Centipede let out an intrusive hissing sound in its mouth, glanced at the crowd, and then twisted its body and swooped towards Mingzi Mountain.
"Get away!"
Ming Zishan shouted loudly when he saw this, and then pushed out the disciple behind him with a palm wind.
The disciples were pushed so hard by the elder that they scattered and fell around.
Immediately, I saw the Tooth Buried Centipede swooping in, moving like flying, carrying a whirring storm with an overwhelming momentum.
"go!"
Ming Zishan pushed away the crowd and quickly slapped the talisman bag, and more than a dozen sharp swords flew out. It was shocking to see that they were all low-grade Xuan soldiers.
The swords flew out, intertwined and rotated, forming a huge sword array in front of him to resist the impact.
This sword formation is his strongest defensive sword formation, which can withstand attacks from the "Seventh Level Late War Spirit Level" strength.
Face to face with a fifth-level monster, there is no chance of any luck.
Therefore, Ming Zishan has the strongest defense once he takes action.
However, the Buried Tooth Centipede did not hit directly, but passed sideways, and the strong wind on its toes touched the sword formation at the moment.
"Bang!" The sword array instantly fell apart. The poor sword array was destroyed and fell apart without even a single obstacle.
More than a dozen low-grade mysterious weapons were also broken in half. Mingzishan was shaken by the aftermath of the impact. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, it was thrown heavily into the distance.
"Elder!"
Seeing Ming Zishan being seriously injured and flying into the distance, the disciples who were pushed away cried out in surprise.
After the tooth-burial centipede hit Mingzi Mountain, it did not kill it again. It passed directly over its head and flew towards a cliff in the distance.
"Where is it going?"
All around, the monks who were about to flee for their lives stopped their steps and said curiously after seeing the Tooth Burial Centipede's abnormal behavior.
"Elder Ming, are you okay?"
While the monster flew away, Qiye was the first to rush forward and said with concern.
When he was thrown just now, he reacted quickly and did not fall.
"Cough, cough, cough, it's okay... I can still hold on with my old bones, let's go!"
Ming Zishan held his somewhat sunken chest, coughed violently, and managed to stand up.
Encountered a frontal attack by a fifth-level monster. Although blocked by the sword array, he was still seriously injured. There were multiple fractures in the body, bleeding in the chest, and blood oozing and cracking in various organs.
Fortunately, the Tooth Buried Centipede was not directly targeting him to launch a deliberate attack, it just passed him by.
Fortunately, Mingzi Mountain's strongest defensive sword formation blocked most of the impact, so he was not killed on the spot.
After all, the frontal impact of a fifth-level monster cannot even be withstood by "war spirit level initial level one".
After quickly swallowing a few pills, Mingzishan forced himself to stand firm with Qiye's help.
"Elder, the monster is moving forward..."
Qiye pointed to the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the tooth-buried centipede flew out a few hundred meters away and climbed up a vertical rock wall.
"Don't worry about it, let's go!"
Ming Zishan glanced at the monster beast that was going away. Although he didn't understand what the monster beast was going to do, it was obvious that he was lucky enough to save his life. If the monster beast turned back, he might not be able to escape death.
"Everyone, follow up before that evil beast comes back!"
He realized that now was the perfect time to escape. If he ran now, he would have a good chance of escaping.
When the monsters turn back, everything will be over.
And there are other sect elders who have this idea.
Although we were far away from the monster just now and were not attacked, when the guy turns back, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape and they will all be buried here.
As a result, other sects gathered their teams and chose the nearest escape route to hide in the woods.
Ming Zishan was injured, Gao Yi and Shang Qian were supporting him, while Qiye and the others followed closely behind.
As the group evacuated quickly, Qiye turned his head and saw that the tooth-buried centipede had climbed to a height of more than 200 meters on the cliff. There seemed to be a faint green plant with small white flowers blooming there.
Little white flower!
He immediately woke up:
It turns out that the Dugu Youlan that I have been looking for grows in that location. No wonder I can only smell its fragrance but not see it.
I didn't expect that growing up at such a high place would really cut off the thoughts of many people.
After all, only monks who can control the air can climb a vertical cliff more than two hundred meters high. The air-controlling monks must at least reach the 'spiritual level' in strength, and they can only achieve this by breaking through the realm of Bigu.
I saw the tooth-buried centipede winding its way up to a height of more than 200 meters.
There, in the crevices of the cliff, grew an exquisite, crystal-white, five-petal orchid. The flower was only the size of a pigeon egg, but it opened extremely full and showed itself in the wind.
Each white petal is like a ship carved from white jade. Smooth as a shuttle, it rises and falls with the wind. When the wind is strong, it seems to be swimming through the rough waves, and when there is no wind, it seems to be stopped at a flat lake...
Among the flowers, goose-yellow slender stamens cluster around each other.
The wind blows, the stamens sway, and the tiny dust-like pollen particles are blown far away, and then fall into the mortal world without a trace...
Dugu Youlan is passed down from generation to generation in this way. Even if the pollen falls into the dark ditch, it will work hard to grow tenaciously.
Perhaps in the beginning, it was inconspicuous, no doubt like a weed.
However, after experiencing countless silent years, it will finally bloom on a sunny day with its original beauty, full of fragrant flowers and the most fragrant flowers.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, the Buried Tooth Centipede opened its jaws and spit out a mouthful of gray demonic energy. The evil spirit enveloped Dugu Youlan up to its roots, and was then sucked directly into its mouth.
Dugu Youlan is a century-old elixir that matures and blooms every fifty years. It is a third-grade elixir.
For monsters below the fifth level, it has the effect of increasing spiritual intelligence and cultivating them.
The Burial Tooth Centipede has been entrenched in the Great Medicine Valley of Beishan, and it relies on constantly devouring Dugu Youlan to activate its spiritual intelligence. Only monsters with mature spiritual intelligence have the opportunity to advance.
Wisdom is the ultimate goal of biological evolution.
It is also a gift from the Creator hidden in the genetic code of living things!
Almost all high-level monsters have the ability to speak human words at the beginning of their intelligence.
The longer the monsters have been cultivating, the higher their spiritual maturity will be. Some high-level monsters are even smarter than humans.
After the Tooth-Buried Centipede swallowed Dugu Youlan into its belly, it raised its front body, its scarlet flashing eyes suddenly noticed the ants-sized fleeing crowd on the slope, and realized that someone had intruded into its territory.
"Hiss~"
After a ear-piercing hiss, the Tooth-Buried Centipede suddenly rushed down the vertical cliff and rushed directly towards the crowd.
"Mom! Run away!"
At this moment, the people who had stopped to watch the excitement were no longer calm and fled in panic.
Qiye's group, who were about to enter the dense forest, were shocked when they saw the monster rushing towards them as fast as thunder.
The most powerful elder in the team has been seriously injured. Even if they get rid of the monster, it is still unknown whether the group can get out of the valley safely.
I didn’t expect that the Tooth-Burning Centipede would attack so quickly. Who could stop it?
I'm afraid everyone will die here this time...
Although Qiye knew that his strength was stronger than the ordinary "Ninth Level of Late Battle Level" spiritual cultivation, which was equivalent to the "First Level of Early Battle Ax Level", he was the second person in this group of people besides the elders.
However, facing a fifth-level monster with a strength equivalent to "war spirit level" is tantamount to seeking death.
How can I do?
Are you breaking away from the team and escaping alone?
Or a desperate fight?
But if he runs away, what will senior sister Yan and the elder do? They will definitely die.
If you don't escape alone, you will die too...
Qiye was frantically anxious and making decisions.
Now one more second of delay is one minute closer to death.
He couldn't bear to abandon it, nor was he willing to die.
When the Tooth Buried Centipede had rushed more than a hundred meters away from them, the two sides were about to encounter each other.
ah! Damn it! ! !
Qiye, who had been unable to make up his mind for a long time, gritted his teeth in his heart, as if he had made some kind of fateful choice.
Then, he raised the sharp sword he had picked up for the elder, and swiped his palm across the blade, leaving a trail of blood.
Qiye suddenly remembered:
The Great Protector once said that his blood has some kind of special attraction. Now he has to act as a living horse doctor to see if he can lure away the Tooth-Burning Centipede with the smell of his blood.
This was better than the whole group being buried here. Along the way, Senior Sister Yan, the Elder, and the other two Senior Sisters had all taken good care of him. He couldn't bear to leave them and run away alone.
Since I can't bear it in my heart, I also feel sorry for Master who once taught me the purpose of being a human being with "a clear conscience".
"Senior Sister Yan, you go first, I'll lure it away!"
Qiye, who had made up his mind, suddenly stopped and turned around to say.
"No, it's too risky. I'll go!"
Yan Wan saw Ah Qi's plan and stopped, gritting her teeth.
At this time, it was her responsibility to be responsible for the safe evacuation of the entire team. She would never allow Junior Brother Ah Qi to do it for her!
"There's no time! Let's go!"
Qiye refused to say anything and rushed towards the monster, his young figure showing a sense of righteousness and solemnity.
"Let's go quickly, Senior Sister Yan. Seventh Junior Brother risked his life to protect us. Don't let him down for his hard work."
Wang Xiu reluctantly persuaded, watching Qiye go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Along the way, I have always been against him. I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, he would step forward. Thinking about what I have done, I have no shame.
"Walk!"
Ming Zishan helplessly glanced at Qiye who was walking away, and sighed in his heart. In order to save the other disciples, he had to give the order cruelly.
Yan Wan and Gaoyi Shang Qian glanced at Qiyehou with burning eyes, turned around and ran as fast as they could.
They knew that Junior Brother Ah Qi's departure would be tantamount to death.
At this moment, they can only try their best to escape in order to be worthy of their junior brother's sacrifice for them.
