Leaving the road paved with floor tiles, only a few tens of feet away, Xie Lian and Patriarch Lushi found something with a flick of expression.
The four of them flashed past stone towers, and after flying no more than two hundred feet away, their vision widened, and a huge deep pit of seven or eight feet suddenly appeared in front of them.
Around the huge pit, seven or eight stone pagodas with only half of them collapsed, and countless grooves and sword marks criss-crossed on the nearby ground, as if this place had just experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
In the center of the huge crater, lay a black charred insect corpse, judging from the size and shape, only a small half of the wreckage remained.
But even though the insect's limbs were not complete, the remaining ferocious appearance still made Xie Lian, Patriarch Lushi and others gasp.
The body of this worm is similar to that of a common locust, covered with a layer of smooth and shiny carapace, but on the slender neck is an extremely ugly man's head. Although only a small half is left, the eyes, ears, nose and other facial features are all intact. It is complete, and it also has a mess of green hair like a weed.
The worm corpse was half prostrate on the ground, motionless, and there was no trace of blood around it. It was obvious that it had been dead here for a long time.
"This is the real descendant of the mother of the locust. It looks really uncomfortable!" Xie Lian said with a slightly pale face looking at the remains of the carcass.
"Hmph, it should be true. I never thought that these vicious insects would be born in such a manner. From this, it can be seen that the mother of the locust insect may give birth to something more disgusting and terrifying. Does fellow Daoist Han feel the same way. "Greenstone Patriarch snorted coldly, but turned to Han Li and asked.
"Maybe. It's hard for Han to make a definite judgment before seeing the mother of the vicious insect." Han Li smiled lightly, and suddenly shook his sleeves into the huge pit.
With a sound of "boom", an invisible energy pushed down, and after the wreckage of the prostrate insect corpse rolled, it turned over on its stomach.
Xie Lian looked intently in her heart, and Yurong actually changed slightly again.
In the abdomen of the corpse, there were more than a dozen mutilated limbs, some of which were quite sharp and covered with black bristles, just like ordinary Zerg.
The other stumps have white and tender skin, and they are extremely similar to ordinary human hands, but the front end is not five-fingered, but divided into three joints, one thick and two thin.
Seeing all this, Patriarch Green Stone twitched his face a few times before raising one hand.
A muffled sound!
Immediately, a cloud of blue fireball emerged from the palm of the hand, with just a slight bend of the five fingers, it turned into a ball of flame and flew towards the insect corpse.
There is no temperature at all on the surface of the fireball, but the nearby void is blurred for a while. It is obvious that the blue flame has great power, which is not comparable to ordinary real fire.
With a sound of "噗嗤", as soon as the fireball touched the remains of the insect corpse, it immediately turned into a raging flame and burned.
After a while, the Green Stone Patriarch made another one-handed tactic, rushing towards the Zombie's direction and making it a little more empty.
With a muffled sound, the blue flame disappeared instantly, revealing the insect corpse below again.
Apart from being a little darker than before, the surface of this wreck has not changed much, and there is no sign of real melting at all.
Patriarch Greenstone's heart trembled, and his face turned gloomy.
Xie Lian's face became even uglier...
Taoist Xie, on the other hand, did not show any expression on his face except for a few flashes of his eyes.
"It's interesting, let Han give it a try!" Han Li chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his arm, and the three fingers flicked like metal.
There was a sound of breaking through the air!
Three streaks of green sword light shot out from the fingertips in a row, and within a single roll, they slashed onto the insect corpse.
"Bang", "Bang", and "Bang" three similar sounds came out, but the result of the three sword lights cutting on the insect corpse was completely different.
As soon as the first sword light slashed on it, it immediately shot out with a flash of light.
The second way is to cut a section of the insect carapace at once.
After the third sword light flashed and disappeared, it lightly split the insect corpse in half from the middle.
Seeing such a situation, both Xie Lian and Green Stone couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed across their eyes.
After Han Li stroked his chin with one hand, he revealed a thoughtful expression.
Xie Lian pondered for a while, and asked directly:
"Brother Han, the power of the three sword lights just now is not the same, otherwise how could there be such a result."
"They are indeed different in power! The first sword light only contains 50% of my mana. The second sword light contains 100% of my mana. As for the third sword light, I will use a flying sword connected with my mind , directly merged into the sword light, the sword will be effective." Han Li replied lightly, as if he had no intention of hiding anything.
Xie Lian and Green Stone naturally didn't know about it. Apart from Han Li's later statement that the sword light had really merged into a mouthful of the Green Bamboo and Bee Cloud Sword, the two sword lights in front of him said that almost 10% of the mana was injected into it. In terms of how much.
In terms of his true energy, which is far superior to ordinary Mahayana, the first sword light only injected 20% of the mana, and the second only injected 40 to 50% of the mana.
But just like that, the tyrannical body of this worm corpse made Xie Lian and Patriarch Lushi feel a little horrified.
"Not only is this worm not afraid of the true flame of Fellow Daoist Green Stone, it can even offset most of the sword light of Fellow Daoist Han. It seems that the direct descendants of the mother of this locust are a little more terrifying than originally imagined. What if it happens later? Come on, do the three fellow Taoists have any good strategies to deal with?" Xie Lian Yurong changed in a dark and uncertain way for a while, and then asked with great apprehension.
"There's nothing scary about it. It's not that this bug cannot be killed. If we encounter it, we'll have to use our own magical powers. I don't believe that the four of us teamed up can't deal with a mere bug." Green Stone Patriarch Suddenly he sneered and replied.
"If it's just one or two, it's not a big deal. But if you encounter seven or eight, a dozen, or even more of these fierce insects. Fellow Daoist Green Stone can still be so confident!" Xie Lian sighed .
"A dozen of them? That's unlikely!" Green Stone Patriarch froze for a while, pretending to be disdainful at first.
"Hehe, the chances of encountering so many are indeed not too great. The mother of locusts is really capable of producing so many tyrannical offspring in one go. I am afraid that she has already broken through the ancient seal. How could she have been suppressed here for so many years?" ” Han Li said after pondering for a while, shaking his head.
"I hope it will be like what the two fellow daoists imagined. Otherwise, these fierce insects will be a big trouble. Judging from the situation here, this one should be killed by the last wave of daoists who entered the underground palace, but for some reason, they left immediately. Go, it seems to be going in a very hasty manner, I don’t know if there are more such fierce insects ahead.” Hearing this, Xie Lian could only nod with a wry smile.
"In any case, we have already arrived here, so it is naturally impossible to retreat. We have also lost a lot of time here, so let's continue on the road. If it is because of us that we miss the matter of Fellow Daoist Baohua and the others, that will be true. It's terrible." After Han Li calmly said a few words, he turned around and drifted away the way he came.
After testing that this vicious insect did not pose too much threat to him, he naturally didn't take it too seriously.
Taoist Xie followed closely without saying a word.
Xie Lian and Green Stone couldn't help but be surprised to see Han Li walking so simply.
But after they glanced at each other, they felt that what Han Li said made sense, so they followed with different expressions.
Among the four Mahayanas, Daoist Xie completely obeyed Han Li's orders, and Han Li just now showed a powerful spiritual sense far superior to others.
Therefore, even though Xie Lian and Green Stone had other thoughts in their hearts, they didn't realize that they could only take Han Li as the leader.
It didn't take long for the four of them to return to the original path and continue walking along the route marked on the map.
This time, Han Li and the others passed through several areas of the underground palace in one breath, but nothing happened, let alone any trace of other vicious insects.
This made both Xie Lian and Green Stone feel relieved.
Even though they are all Mahayana existences, they absolutely don't want to face the fierce insects they saw before.
At this moment, the four of them came to a vast and abnormal garden. There were a kind of silvery low flowering trees everywhere on both sides, and a kind of palm-sized silvery flowers grew on the surface. They were fluffy and extremely gorgeous, but No aroma at all. At first, Patriarch Greenstone was a little wary of these silver flower trees, but when Xie Lian told him lightly, this flower tree is a unique plant in the devil world, and it has no special function except for refining some low-level elixir Afterwards, the Mahayana from another world felt relieved.
"Brother Han, according to the map, the forbidden hall in front should be where the eye of the formation is located. As long as I restore it, the mission of this trip will be completed." Seeing that the three of them were about to walk out of the garden, the direction of the exit of the garden was indistinct. After seeing a small gray-white palace, Xie Lian said with a chuckle.
"Well, it's really not far away. It seems that our trip is quite smooth. I don't know if the other friends are also like this." Han Li nodded and replied calmly.
For some reason, since he arrived in this garden, although he didn't find anything abnormal, he had a weird feeling of being watched by something.
And with his current strong consciousness, it is almost impossible to find the other party's trace.
This means that either the other party really has some kind of heaven-defying supernatural power, which can escape his divine sense scan. Or it was just an illusion he had produced on his own due to the influence of various restrictions and sealing forces in the underground palace.
However, with Han Li's caution, he was naturally cautious at this moment, but as soon as he walked to the exit of the garden, this strange feeling disappeared without a trace, as if this had never happened before. Things are normal.
This made Han Li confused, and he was really at a loss.
At the same time, in a dark underground cave in the deepest part of the underground palace, a blurry figure suddenly let out a low and sinister laugh: "The art of refining the gods... I have cultivated to the second level... the art of refining the gods. People, someone will practice this secret technique! Haha, the sky will never stop me... It is not in vain that the old man has worked hard here for so many years... "
The laughter was not loud at first, and it was a bit vague, but then it gradually became clear and crazy, and people couldn't help shivering after listening to it!
