"See the three adults, thank you for your life-saving grace, senior." The demon woman first flew to the vicinity of Han Li, not daring to go too far, stopped at a distance of seven or eight feet, and hurriedly saluted Said.

She sensed the opposite with her spiritual sense, and after realizing that the auras of Han Li and the other three were unfathomable, her demeanor became more respectful.

"Who are you guys, and where is the nearest city?" Han Li asked briefly with no expression on his face.

"The junior and others are crystal pickers from Luanyun Mountain. The nearest city is Heigou City in the north. If senior wants to go there, this junior is willing to lead the way in person." The demon woman replied without thinking.

"Heigoucheng, I've never heard of it before. It's not necessary to lead the way, but give me a map of this area." Han Li ordered bluntly.

"This junior happens to have a map of the most detailed area nearby. It is my honor for senior to ask for it." The demon woman immediately took out a black stone piece from her body and offered it with both hands.

Han Li nodded his head and made a move with one hand. With a sound of "swoosh", the stone flake fell into his hand. After sweeping it with his divine sense, his face showed a look of satisfaction.

At this time, other demons had already flown to the side of the woman, but they all stood obediently with their arms tied, not daring to take a breath.

"Okay, now, who can tell me what the locusts you are talking about are all about. I remember that I have never seen insectoid swarms in the holy world before, and their breath is also a little different from ordinary devil insects." Han Li will After putting away the stone flakes, he glanced at these demons and asked a question.

"Ah, senior doesn't know about locusts." The demon woman was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't help showing a trace of hesitation on her face. The other demons also looked at each other in a commotion, and no one dared to speak easily.

"It's true that I haven't been alive for hundreds of years. Is it strange that I don't recognize these locusts?" Han Li said noncommittal with his expression unchanged.

"It turned out to be a secluded senior who practiced painstakingly in seclusion, so it's no wonder that he didn't know this swarm of locusts. In fact, these evil insects only appeared in the past hundred years. It is said that they were originally ordinary evil insects in the holy world, but for some reason they suddenly appeared one after another. There was a mutation, and it turned into such a ferocious appearance. Now the entire holy world is full of these borers, and I heard that in some areas where there are too many borers, towns are besieged and massacred by borers. Now As a result, the entire holy world is already in turmoil, and people are in a state of panic." The demon woman quickly explained after a quick turn of her mind.

"City massacre! Hehe, the three great ancestors and other holy ancestors didn't take action to kill these borers. Although these borer swarms are much more powerful than ordinary devil insects, they are still vulnerable to the existence of the holy ancestors. "Han Li pondered for a moment, then asked slowly.

"The younger generation's cultivation base is low, and I really don't know about the ancestors and the holy ancestors. The younger generation only knows that since the emergence of these borers, except for occasional hearings of some places where the borers are too serious, there are a few holy ancestors who have come forward. Except for strangling some locust swarms, the senior ancestors and the three ancestors in most other areas seem to have disappeared at the same time." The demon woman hesitated for a moment before carefully replying.

"All the ancestors are missing! When did this happen?" Han Li's eyes flickered after hearing this, and he continued to ask without hesitation.

"It's too accurate for the younger generation to say, but it seems to be about the same time as the appearance of these locusts." The demon woman replied respectfully.

"Very good, I am satisfied with your answer. You can leave." Han Li calmly ordered when he heard that there was no doubt in his heart anymore.

"Yes, the junior and others will take their leave first." The demon girl felt relieved, and she respectfully agreed, and took a few steps back before turning around and flying away.

After a hurried salute, the other demons also hurriedly followed.

In a blink of an eye, only Han Li and the other three were left in the nearby void.

"Brother Han, it seems that the Mahayana existences in the demon world and our spirit world are really in trouble, otherwise the situation in the demon world will remain so bad." Yinyue said with a sigh as soon as the demons had gone away.

"Well, the current situation in the Demon Realm is indeed not very good. But what is the specific situation, we have to inquire in detail. The Black Gourd City seems to be inhabited by the Demon Race Venerable. As their Venerable , I should really know something about those holy ancestors and our Mahayana in the spiritual world." Han Li said, his face became a little dignified.

"Brother Han's words are right, so let's go to the Black Gourd City." Yinyue smiled sweetly when she heard the words.

"Hehe, before going to this city, there is one more thing that needs to be done first." Han Li chuckled, and suddenly his sleeves flicked, and a cloud of gray light flew out.

After the light shone in front of him, a giant gray worm that was about ten feet in size suddenly appeared on the ground.

It was the double head borer that he captured earlier!

This insect's aura is not weak, it probably has the coercion from the left and right in the late stage of transformation, and it obviously has a high status in the insect swarm.

As soon as the worm appeared, its wings vibrated wildly, and it immediately flew into the air and fled.

But the next moment, a terrifying aura rose from Han Li's body.

The double-headed giant worm only felt the surrounding air tighten, and its entire body was forced to the ground again by an invisible force.

The two giant worms shook wildly, but they couldn't move their bodies, they could only make whining noises.

When Yinyue saw the giant worm, a look of amazement appeared on her face.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, his cuff moved, and one palm stretched out with five fingers, pressing towards the void of a giant worm's head.

"Chi Chi" sounded.

Five crystal filaments shot out from the fingertips, and submerged into the giant worm's head in a blink of an eye.

The body of the giant worm, which had been struggling violently, trembled, and suddenly lay limp and motionless.

At the same time, Han Li's eyes were slightly closed, and the faint golden light on his body surface was erratic.

He actually used the Soul Search technique directly on the giant worm.

Time passed by little by little, and after a cup of tea, Han Li opened his eyes, and the crystal thread between his fingers rolled back from the head of the giant insect, and then disappeared into the void into dots of crystal light.

There was a "bang".

The giant worm's head swelled and shrunk for a while, and then burst and shattered by itself.

With a move of Han Li's sleeve, a fireball flew out, turning into billowing red flames, wrapping the insect corpse in it, and turning it into flying ash in an instant.

"Brother Han, what information did you get?" Yinyue couldn't help asking.

"No. These strange insects don't have real intelligence, only some of the simplest instincts. I wasted a lot of effort just now." Han Li looked a little strange, but shook his head and said.

"I see. This is not a strange thing. Although these locusts have become extremely vicious due to mutation, their intelligence cannot be activated immediately. But for us, it is not a problem. Too bad news." Yinyue said with a smile after turning her eyes.

"Well, indeed! If you just rely on instinct, no matter how many these locusts are, they will not pose a big threat to the existence of Mahayana. Let's go, let's go to that black gourd city now. If we want to come there, we can get real Information." Han Li replied with a slight smile.

So, the three people below escaped together, changed direction and shot towards the north.

A day later, the three of Han Li entered a plateau covered with black soil, and after several hours of flying forward, a dark city with an area of three to four hundred kilometers suddenly appeared in the distance.

Judging from the map, it was exactly the Black Gourd City that the Demon Race woman was talking about.

But at this moment, the demon city was surrounded by another sea of gray insects that couldn't be seen from all directions.

There are so many locusts in this sea of insects, everywhere you look, there are overlapping gray insect shadows.

The number of locusts in the cloud of insects that Han Li had seen before was also quite astonishing, but compared with the sea of insects in front of him, it immediately seemed insignificant and could not be compared at all.

At this moment, the Black Gourd City has been pushed upside down by a layer of light black light curtain like a giant bowl.

On the light curtain, no matter in the sky or on the city wall, there are layers of gray locusts crouching on it.

These densely packed strange insects, either waving their sharp claws or baring their fangs, all frantically attacked the black light curtain.

On the top of the city and in the sky inside the light curtain, there are also dense figures of demons. They either activate magic weapons of different levels, or directly activate magic skills, and frantically attack the locusts on the light curtain. The locusts are obviously not too high in level, and they can't resist any blow from the demons. They either burst open and turned into blood rain, or they were directly cut and fell from the sky.

And in the Black Gourd City, densely packed arrows shot out like raindrops, piercing through and killing many insects one after another.

In the center of the black city, there are hundreds of tall towers looming, with electric light lingering on them, and roaring noises. Every moment, hundreds of black arcs spurt out from above, turning into Countless black electric wires fell outside the light curtain, instantly reducing countless borers to ashes.

On the surface, under the protection of the prohibition, the demons in the city only need to attack with all their strength, and they seem to have the upper hand.

But what kind of person Han Li is, his eyes flickered blue, and he saw the real situation in the city clearly, and subconsciously frowned slightly.

In just this moment, the black light curtain covering the top of the city became dimmer than before, and the demons on the top of the city who were still desperately attacking were already pale and panting, with a look of mana early It looks like it's already overdrawn.

Suddenly the roaring in the city stopped abruptly, and the black lightning lights on hundreds of high towers disappeared silently, stopping the attack.
