"Is this a phoenix... a mother... or a daughter? Or... some ancient... treasure?"
Li Yan certainly didn't think that his ancient ape puppet would suddenly develop intelligence. This was obviously caused by the purple monster bird entering the body of the ancient ape puppet. Moreover, this was the second time he heard the word "ancient treasure" today.
"Hmph, kid, do you want to say I'm a female? I'll settle the score with you later. Fortunately, you filled up all eighty spiritual power slots, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to take those two attacks just now.
How can you be so poor? You only have ten thousand spirit stones, all of which are low-quality. Fortunately, we are only six or seven hundred feet away from the exit above, so these spirit stones are barely enough. But... forget it, let's escape first!"
The sound of silver bells rang out again from the giant ape puppet's mouth, and it spoke to Li Yan in a hostile tone.
But when Li Yan heard about ten thousand spirit stones, his consciousness hurriedly swept towards the storage bag on his waist, and his already dark face became three times darker.
At some point, without Li Yan noticing, the more than 10,000 spirit stones in his storage bag had disappeared.
Li Yan's wealth is more than that, but he cannot put everything in the "earth spot". Spirit stones are used most frequently in front of outsiders, so of course he will put some spirit stones in the storage bag.
This time, he put more than 10,000 spirit stones in the storage bag, but now not even one is left.
It seemed as if he saw Li Yan’s face twitching.
"Boy, just be content. If it weren't for the Qianluo Ancient Ape, you would be dead this time. Do you want to save the spirit stones to buy ashes
Okay, I won’t say any more. I reminded you to quickly collect your three magic weapons. We are leaving here now. The three piles of sand below are really a headache.
Even if we kill them all, it won't take too long for them to condense and recover again."
Just when Li Yan was feeling sad about the spirit stones and indignant about the behavior of using them without telling him, the ancient ape puppet seemed to know what Li Yan was thinking and spoke again, even taking into account the three magic weapons, the folding fan.
"Why!"
Li Yan finally came to his senses and quickly agreed.
He was so stunned by the scene just now that he almost forgot where he was and was still feeling sad about the spirit stones!
He hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the folding fan and other three magic weapons were put into his storage bag. Looking at the storage bag, Li Yan also sighed in his heart.
The Nascent Soul cultivator was truly terrifying. His storage bag was like an open door, allowing anyone to take what he was told.
"Just now, she said there were three piles of sand below? It seems that my previous guess was correct."
Li Yan's mind was full of questions, but he was such a shrewd person that he knew that this was not the time for him to speak.
Sure enough, just as Li Yan put away the three magic weapons, the giant ape puppet moved, retracted the palms that had smashed the two golden giant forks, and its body turned into a dazzling green light, and suddenly shot upwards in the void.
"die!"
Just as the giant ape puppet moved, the golden giant leading below roared again.
As Li Yan looked horrified, he saw him making a circle with his hands at his sides, and the bodies of the other two golden giants immediately leaned towards his arms.
At the same time, the bodies of the two golden giants began to spin rapidly with a buzzing sound. In just a blink of an eye, the bodies of the two golden giants turned into a phantom and disintegrated into golden sand all over the sky.
Then at an incredible speed, the golden giant waved his hands and two rapidly spinning red-gold wheels of wind and fire formed on his sides.
The wind and fire wheels spun rapidly, creating large amounts of golden sparks that flew everywhere.
The golden giant's eyes showed murderous intent, and he swung his hands forward from the side of his body. The two red-gold wheels of wind and fire carried the power of heaven and earth, as if pushing the entire world.
It just made a "whoosh" sound, from bottom to top, like two rotating suns, as powerful as thunder, shooting straight into the sky, chasing after the rapidly rising giant ape puppet.
Although the giant ape puppet's rising speed seemed to be a thousand miles in an instant in Li Yan's eyes, the attack of the golden giant below was also extremely fast.
As soon as they moved, the two red-gold wheels of wind and fire that could destroy the world had already cut towards them, and their speed was even two points faster than that of the giant ape puppet.
"I hate the sand here. It would be great if I could have a high-quality spirit stone to control the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape! Even if it's a medium-quality spirit stone, I can slap it and make it fill the sky with sand!"
As the red-gold wheels of wind and fire that rapidly expanded in Li Yan's pupils came cutting towards him with a terrifying whistling sound, the ancient ape made a contrasting sound of silver bells.
When Li Yan heard this, although he didn't know when this ancient ape puppet became so powerful, he already knew that the ancient ape puppet was definitely not what he and Bai Rou had imagined, and it could only be controlled using low-grade spirit stones.
However, mid-grade spirit stones are too expensive. Given his and Bai Rou’s wealth, they certainly would not use mid-grade spirit stones for experiments.
What's even more frightening is that a medium-grade spirit stone might explode with such horrible spiritual power that it could directly disrupt the formation inside the ancient ape puppet's body that it could not withstand, causing it to explode.
He still has two medium-grade spirit stones now, which are the remaining ones from the eight he exchanged for use in ultra-long-distance teleportation when he first left the sect.
However, the origin of the demon cultivator in front of him was mysterious, and although he intended to save him, Li Yan could see that he was coming for the ancient ape puppet.
Moreover, how could he use the "Earth Spot" in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator? He hesitated for a moment.
Just as Li Yan was hesitating, the mysterious demon cultivator growled.
"Hold on, kid!"
Just when Li Yan was confused, he felt his body shake violently, and he was almost thrown off the giant ape's shoulder.
Li Yan hurriedly used his magic power in both hands to transform into two flying claws, which grabbed the giant ape's shoulder, but the whole person was already floating. The giant ape puppet, which was rapidly rising, suddenly turned sideways, and the red gold wind and fire wheels almost simultaneously cut directly upwards along its calves.
The giant ape puppet spun on one leg, making its body spin halfway. Its huge body also spun like a green fire wheel. Its other leg was bent at the knee and hit the inner fire wheel hard.
In an instant, a ball of dazzling blue and gold sparks erupted in the void, but the blue light was much weaker.
But the giant ape puppet's knee hit the side of the Hot Wheels, using the force of the opponent to counter the opponent's force, and it knocked the Hot Wheels in one direction and flew away.
At the same time, the giant ape puppet had two long arms that were almost as high as its body, and one of its big hands was clenched into a fist. While raising its body and turning sideways, it punched at the other Hot Wheels.
But when its huge fist was about to hit the Hot Wheels, the dazzling green light flashing on its fist suddenly dimmed, and at this moment it raised its knee and just hit the inner Hot Wheels.
"Damn low-grade spirit stone!"
Li Yan closed his lips tightly, and his body flew in the air like a kite with a broken string, but the claws formed by his hands firmly grasped the giant ape's shoulders.
He clearly heard a muttering from the giant ape's mouth, and then saw the giant ape's fist that was hitting the red-gold wind fire wheel first dimmed, and then burst out with a dazzling green light again, hitting the center of the side of the other rotating wind fire wheel hard.
Listening to the complaints in his ears and looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yan knew that in this short period of time, his ten thousand spirit stones were being rapidly consumed.
The giant ape puppet's knee strike just now consumed countless spirit stones, which resulted in the other punch almost being ineffective.
Fortunately, this senior demon cultivator seemed to be very familiar with this puppet. He filled it with spirit stones again in an instant and delivered that punch.
The two red-gold wind-fire wheels were blocked almost at the same time, making a series of teeth-grinding friction sounds, and they suddenly stopped in their high-speed rotation.
Then, there were two loud noises that shook the earth and sky, and Li Yan's eyes were suddenly filled with a dazzling golden light.
Li Yan was so dizzy and shocked by the loud noise at such a close distance that the magic power in his body was no longer under control. The two flying claws he transformed into dissipated, and his entire body broke away from the giant ape puppet and was thrown out.
Just as Li Yan was flying away unconsciously, he was grabbed by the giant ape puppet's other big hand. The giant ape puppet accelerated again and flew upwards again.
The distance Li Yan fell before was probably only six or seven hundred feet, but with the giant ape puppet's huge body lifting him up, he reached the top of the abyss in just two or three breaths.
The two golden giants that Li Yan had met before were nowhere to be seen at this time, not even a trace of their shadows.
Li Yan was in a daze, and a dim environment appeared in his eyes, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he was.
He just felt that the scene was very familiar. Then he heard faint roars in his ears, as if coming from under him. Only then did he shudder and his mind suddenly became much clearer.
"Little guy, the spirit stones are almost gone. Just pray that there is no strong wind outside. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold out here for a few more breaths. That pile of sand will catch up with you soon."
Li Yan had just seen clearly the environment he was in, which was the black hole he had just entered. The voice of the giant ape rang in his ears, and then without waiting for Li Yan to react, it rushed directly to the cave entrance.
Ten thousand spirit stones were consumed at an alarming rate, and seemed to have been used up in just a moment.
Li Yan was frightened out of his wits, because although his spiritual sense could not scan the outside world, his eyes could see clearly that outside the translucent membrane of the cave entrance, there was a sky full of wind and sand, which looked like a strong wind.
"Senior..."
As Li Yan was trembling with fear, the giant ape puppet's body had shrunk rapidly during flight. When it flew to the cave entrance, it had become the size of an adult, almost the same height as Li Yan.
Li Yan also fell from the giant ape's shoulder and was dragged by the ancient ape puppet, flying towards the cave entrance.
“In two and a half breaths, that damn pile of sand will chase us out, and then we’ll have no choice but to rush out. We don’t have enough spirit stones, and we won’t be able to resist at all.
He only needs one strike and we will surely die. I am already seriously injured and I cannot survive the strong wind."
As soon as Li Yan's words came out, a voice transmission sounded in his mind. At this time, the voice transmission was many times faster than speaking.
However, there was a coldness in the voice, which made Li Yan feel a sense of indifference to life in his heart. Those words were clearly spoken by this senior demon cultivator, and he was unable to resist the strong wind at the moment.
But the other party's tone was cold, as if he didn't care about his life or death, and it was just a casual remark.
This senior was able to resist the joint attack of three Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time. His strength has reached the level of heaven and earth. Normally, let alone leading one person to walk in the strong wind, it is estimated that it would not be difficult for him to lead a few more people.
But when he heard that she was seriously injured, Li Yan realized that the situation was extremely critical.
Li Yan's heart trembled. At this moment, he no longer cared about the secret of the "earth spots" and was about to take out the spirit stone immediately.
Because just as they approached the cave entrance, he could feel the terrifying pressure and murderous intent rolling in from the abyss under his feet, causing his hands and feet to begin to go weak.
Li Yan had no time to transmit his message at this moment, so he immediately reached out to his left wrist with his right hand. However, just as his right hand touched his left wrist, his whole body was pulled away like a kite being pulled by a string.
In his ears, he heard a sound like a mirror breaking. Li Yan watched helplessly as half of his body was pulled out of the cave by the ancient ape puppet.
The demon cultivator who controlled the ancient ape puppet was determined to fight for his life. Despite his seriously injured body, he forcibly broke through the restriction at the entrance of the black hole and rushed out of the cave with Li Yan.
Compared with the reaction of this senior demon cultivator, Li Yan's speed in taking the spirit stone was as slow as a snail. He had just raised his right hand when he was pulled out of the black hole.
