A second-grade, top-grade six-winged flame centipede pounced towards Han Changming. Its sharp claws glowed red and were extremely sharp. Its pair of mouthparts were exposed, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Han Changming frowned slightly. The second-grade top-grade six-winged flame centipede actually came to him instead of Chen Hongming.
He made a hand gesture and stomped his right foot on the ground. The ground glowed with yellow light and a strong wind blew. Dozens of thick yellow ropes emerged from the ground and wrapped around the six-winged flame centipede like lightning.
The Six-Winged Flame Centipede wanted to avoid it, but suddenly an irresistible gravity appeared on the ground, and the speed of the Six-Winged Flame Centipede suddenly slowed down. More than a dozen thick yellow ropes entangled the Six-Winged Flame Centipede and covered it.
The six-winged fire centipede let out a strange hissing sound, and its sharp claws chopped fiercely at the yellow ropes, breaking all of them.
At this moment, a big red and yellow hand fell from the sky and hit the six-winged flame centipede accurately. The six-winged flame centipede fell to the ground. Bursts of yellow light emerged from the ground. A strong suction force sucked the six-winged flame centipede to the ground. The six-winged flame centipede felt like an invisible mountain was pressing on it and it could not move.
Gravity magic!
Han Changming used gravity magic in the middle stage of foundation building, and the six-winged fire centipede could not break free in a short time.
At this time, Chen Hongming had already driven his flying sword to kill two first-level six-winged flame centipedes.
He glanced at Han Changming and said nothing. He then summoned nine green flying swords, which turned into nine green lights and hit the six-winged flame centipede one after another.
Clang clang clang!
There were three dull thuds of metal colliding, and a few faint white marks appeared on the surface of the six-winged flame centipede.
The six-winged fire centipede let out a strange hissing sound and spewed red flames from its mouth.
Yellow ropes kept emerging from the ground, binding the body of the six-winged flame centipede tightly. It was unable to move. The irresistible gravity made it difficult for it to move a step.
Qian Tu Zhen Yang Gong can exert its greatest power on land. If fighting alone, Han Changming is confident that he can kill this six-winged fire centipede.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, quickly kill this six-winged fire centipede! My strength is limited, I can only trap it. This is Thousand Poison Island, don't waste time, it will be bad for everyone."
Han Changming urged, his tone indifferent.
No one wants to reveal more cards, and everyone wants to retain their strength. This is Thousand Poison Island, and he doesn't want to stay here for too long.
Chen Hongming frowned, and with a sword gesture, nine green flying swords made a clear sword sound and released a large amount of sharp green sword energy, which submerged the body of the six-winged flame centipede.
Boom!
A series of roars were heard, and the six-winged fire centipede's head was chopped to pieces.
Han Changming's expression became solemn. It was the first time he saw the strength of a swordsman.
He was confident that he could kill this six-winged flame centipede, but it would definitely not be so easy. You know, this is a second-grade top-quality demon insect and it is not so easy to deal with. Chen Hongming set up a sword formation and easily killed this second-grade top-quality six-winged flame centipede. No wonder there is a saying in the world of immortal cultivation that sword cultivators are invincible at the same level.
Chen Hongming pinched his sword gesture, and nine green flying swords flew back into his sleeves and disappeared.
Shen Tianming and nine other people controlled the formation to attack the seven six-winged fire centipedes. The ground was already frozen, and the ice layer was about two feet thick. The attack of the six-winged fire centipedes was powerful, and they were most afraid of the cold because of their hard shells. At the beginning, they could release fire to attack the formation, but as the ice layer thickened, their reactions became slower and slower, and their attacks became weaker and weaker. Their bodies were slowly frozen and they could not move.
Shen Tianming used a formation to freeze the seven six-winged flame centipedes. The ice layer was about ten feet thick, and then he removed the formation.
There was a huge block of ice about ten feet high on the ground, emitting a chill.
He sacrificed a small mountain that was shining with red light and cast a spell.
“Hula!”
With a muffled sound, a large area of red flame emerged from the surface of the red hill. Its size suddenly increased, and it instantly grew to more than ten feet high. Its surface was wrapped in a layer of red flame, emitting a huge heat wave. The surface of the ice melted, and the ground was wetted by clear water.
"fall."
With a low shout from Shen Tianming, the red hill suddenly fell down, and the huge ice block shattered into pieces. The seven six-winged flame centipedes that were frozen in the ice were also smashed to pieces and died.
Shen Tianming heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Han, you have worked hard. The body of the Six-Winged Flame Centipede is yours! This is the reward. We only want the Flame Grass."
After hearing this, Han Changming and Chen Hongming were both quite satisfied. They came all the way to Thousand Poison Island, and they thought Haige would give them some benefits.
The Fire Grass is what Lu Yang wants. Although Han Changming and Chen Hongming are envious, they dare not touch it.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have made great efforts this time. I will give you the inner elixir of the second-grade superior six-winged flame centipede! I hope you don't despise it."
Han Changming dug out the inner elixir of the second-grade top-grade six-winged flame centipede, put it into a wooden box, and handed it to Shen Tianming.
Shen Tianming is Lu Yang's disciple. Having a good relationship with him will be beneficial to both Han Changming and the Han family.
"It is our blessing to be able to work for Senior Lu. Fellow Daoist Shen, just accept the things."
Chen Hongming didn't ask for a penny, which seemed very noble.
Shen Tianming smiled slightly and said, "My two fellow Taoists, my master said that I cannot ask for anything else. Picking the Flame Grass and bringing it back will be a great achievement. Please don't make it difficult for me."
He could indeed accept the benefit. If he did so, he would be in trouble if someone complained about him in the future. To put it mildly, this was accepting a bribe. To put it more seriously, this was Shen Tianming forcibly taking money and property.
If Lu Yang knew about this, he would definitely not be polite to him. The Chen and Han families each sent three foundation-building cultivators to help. If he didn't give them any benefits, Shen Tianming would take them all. If this matter got out, the reputation of Lu Yang and Tinghai Pavilion would be damaged. Others would say that Tinghai Pavilion was bullying others by taking advantage of its power, and some would even say that Shen Tianming was motivated by greed.
Before coming again, Lu Yang had specifically instructed that the Fire Grass and the corpse of the Six-Winged Flame Centipede should be divided between the Chen and Han families as a reward.
Shen Tianming didn't dare to disobey his master's orders, so naturally he didn't dare to accept it.
After hearing this, Han Changming and Chen Hongming were both a little surprised. Without hesitation, they accepted the body of the Six-Winged Flame Centipede.
There are ten six-winged fire centipedes, exactly five for each family.
Shen Tianming sent people to dig out all the Fire Grass and carefully put them into a wooden box, including the damaged Fire Grass.
Han Changming looked towards the cave. The environment here was hot and humid, suitable for the growth of fire-attributed spiritual medicines. He wondered if there were any other spiritual medicines.
"Husband, we..."
Before Ye Xin could finish her words, a deafening roar sounded, and the earth shook.
Shen Tianming and the others were shocked and looked alert. Everyone was confused. It seemed that other cultivators had come to Thousand Poison Island, and they didn't know what had happened to cause such a big commotion.
"Go out and see what happened."
Shen Tianming put away all the wooden boxes containing the fire grass and walked out quickly.
Not long after, they walked out of the cave and saw a huge red mushroom cloud rising in the distance. A huge roar could be heard faintly, and it was obvious that someone was fighting there.
"Why don't you go and take a look? Maybe someone has discovered a rare elixir!"
Han Debiao suggested, and some of them were eager to try. Ten six-winged flame centipedes and two second-grade top-grade six-winged flame centipedes were no match for them, let alone other monsters.
They have eleven foundation-building cultivators, so as long as they don't encounter any third-order monsters, there should be no danger.
After traveling a long way, they only got a second-grade top-quality six-winged flame centipede and the corpses of four six-winged flame centipedes. There wasn't much to share among the three of them.
Shen Tianming was a little tempted. To be honest, he came all the way to Thousand Poison Island, and he didn't want to leave just like that. Lu Yang said that he only wanted the Fire Grass, and if he got the other things, they would be his.
Han Changming frowned. The clan leader had said that Han Debiao was more impulsive. He hadn't noticed it before, but he saw it now.
Thousand Poison Island is the most dangerous place in the Red Algae Sea. You are not a homeless and unemployed cultivator. Why do you have to stay here and take risks for nothing? You don’t have any spiritual creatures that can form a pill.
"Forget it! This is the Thousand Poison Island. It's not worth it for so many foundation-building monks to die here every year. We can kill the six-winged flame centipede because, first, we have more people; second, we have formations and insect-attracting incense; third, and most importantly, we know that this is the six-winged flame centipede, and we know its habits and magical powers. Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we naturally have a greater chance of winning. Who knows what dangers lie ahead? Who knows what kind of demon insect lies ahead? What can we gain? If we know nothing, we are just courting death."
Han Changming said this bluntly in a stern tone.
Lu Yang's order was to help them pick the fire grass. Since the mission was completed, they should leave Thousand Poison Island as soon as possible. Why stay to search for treasure? Unless Han Changming's brain was stuck in the door, he would stay to search for treasure. Searching for treasure? Humph, it's almost like seeking death.
He had already thought it through. If Shen Tianming insisted on doing it his own way, he would not get involved. If Lu Yang did not order him to go treasure hunting, he would not obey.
"Brother Shen, what Fellow Daoist Han said is correct. Thousand Poison Island is the most dangerous place in the Red Algae Sea. We should leave as soon as possible! If there were no danger, the resources on Thousand Poison Island would have been plundered by our sect long ago, so there would be no need for other cultivators to go treasure hunting."
A young man in a golden shirt spoke up to persuade them, and he also disagreed with staying.
Over the years, there are countless foundation-building cultivators, including cultivators in the late foundation-building stage. The reason why they were so successful this time was, on the one hand, because there were a large number of foundation-building cultivators, and on the other hand, they were well prepared in advance, with formations and insect-attracting incense, and it is hard to say whether they will continue to move forward in treasure hunting.
"Yeah! Let's leave as soon as possible. Rumor has it that there are third-level monsters here."
Chen Hongming nodded in agreement. If Lu Yang had not specifically asked him to go, he would not have come to Thousand Poison Island.
Shen Tianming hesitated for a moment, let out a long breath, and nodded: "Okay! Then let's go! Don't get involved."
They walked back the way they had come, very quickly.
Suddenly, there was a slight rumbling sound from the ground.
"There's someone coming from underground, be careful."
Chen Hongming reacted the fastest and reminded loudly.
Shen Tianming and the others were startled and quickly dispersed, taking out their defensive magic weapons and looking alert.
If it is a monster, it is easy to deal with. But if it is a cultivator, it will be troublesome.
Boom!
A somewhat dishevelled figure suddenly emerged from the ground. It was a man in his early thirties in a yellow shirt. He was tall and thin, with a terrified and pale face, as if he had consumed too much magic power. There was a black crow pattern on his clothes.
There are four major forces in the Red Algae Sea, namely Tinghai Pavilion, Taixu Sect, Black Crow Island, and Qingyun Sect. Among them, Black Crow Island is an immortal cultivation family, and the other three forces are immortal cultivation sects.
The Lu family of Black Crow Island is good at alchemy. They have a cave that is rich in a certain kind of spiritual water, which has a certain auxiliary effect on alchemy.
Han Changming used to say that the Taiyi Hualing Gourd produced a large amount of spiritual water, which was the Lu family's spiritual water. He never expected to meet a member of the Lu family here.
Seeing Han Changming and others, the man in yellow was slightly stunned, took a few steps back, and his face was full of vigilance.
"I am Lu Wenbin from Black Crow Island. What are your names, fellow Taoists?"
The young man in yellow shirt clasped his fist towards Shen Tianming and others and asked politely.
Shen Tianming looked the yellow-shirted young man up and down, frowned and said, "Lu Wenbin, who is Lu Wenqin to you?"
"That's my cousin. How come Fellow Daoist Shen knows my cousin?"
Lu Wenbin's tone became warmer and he asked cautiously.
Shen Tianming frowned and asked, "We have met a few times. You were the one who caused the commotion just now? Why are you alone? Don't you have any companions? How dare you go to Thousand Poison Island alone?"
Lu Wenbin has reached the middle stage of foundation building and his strength is not low.
As far as Shen Tianming knew, the "Wen" generation was the backbone of the Lu family. The Lu family was large and powerful, and logically, there was no shortage of immortal cultivation resources. Why did Lu Wenbin appear on Thousand Poison Island? If he was alone, it didn't make sense. The movement just now was definitely not something that a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building could do.
He guessed that the Lu family might have discovered something and organized their people to hunt for treasure, but the guardian monster was too powerful and the Lu family members were unable to succeed.
Shen Tianming's guess was right. The Lu family had indeed discovered a relatively rare elixir, but the guarding demon insect was too powerful, and only Lu Wenbin survived.
Of course, Lu Wenbin would not say these words.
Lu Wenbin smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by you fellow Taoists. It is true that I went to Thousand Poison Island alone to search for treasures. The noise just now was caused by me. I encountered a nest of poisonous insects and couldn't beat them, so I used a Fire Cloud Talisman to make a bigger noise. When I return to the family, I will report the truth to the elders of the family and I will definitely reward you generously."
He was worried that Shen Tianming and others would kill people and steal treasures, so he had to involve his own family.
"Really? Do you think we are three-year-old children? How could the Fire Cloud Talisman make such a big noise? What's with the blood on your body? Think carefully before you speak. Don't think we are easy to fool."
Chen Yuanhua said with a cold face.
Han Changming narrowed his eyes and found some brown bloodstains on Lu Wenbin's right foot, but there was no scar on Lu Wenbin's body. Apart from these, as a descendant of a cultivation family, the probability of Lu Wenbin taking risks alone was very low.
None of this makes sense. Lu Wenbin must be lying.
"My fellow Taoist, you have misunderstood. This is the blood of a demon insect. Why would I lie to you?"
Lu Wenbin forced a smile and explained with gritted teeth.
"Tell the truth, or we won't be polite to you."
