Fang Yufei brought along the Jindan cultivators mainly to have them run errands and gather intelligence. However, in a dangerous place like Yunmengze, the Jindan cultivators could not be of much use and could easily become a burden.
Fang Yufei originally thought that with ten Nascent Soul cultivators, there wouldn't be any major problems. Apparently, she underestimated the danger of Yunmengze.
A large amount of smelly black venom flew out from the swamp and headed straight towards them.
When the protective auras of the two Nascent Soul cultivators came into contact with the black venom, a burst of green smoke immediately rose. The thick tentacles slapped on their protective auras, and the protective auras remained safe and sound.
Dense tentacles attached themselves to the protective aura, wrapping them up, forming a huge fleshy ball, and a puff of green smoke rose.
The meat ball suddenly exploded and turned into countless tiny pieces of meat that flew in all directions. Billowing flames swept out and burned the pieces of meat into ashes.
Fang Yufei flipped her hand and took out a feather fan with red light flowing. The surface of the fan was covered with mysterious runes and emitted a violent fluctuation of fire spiritual energy. It was obviously a low-grade spiritual treasure.
She just fanned the fan lightly, and all the runes on the surface of the fan lit up. A thick red flame swept out and hit the tentacles, which immediately emitted green smoke and twisted and deformed.
Fang Qingxue pinched her fingers and three white flags glowed with spiritual light, and a large amount of white cold air surged out and spread in all directions. When the white cold air touched the tentacles, the tentacles instantly froze.
The old man in green robe raised a green flag and waved it lightly. There was a whistling sound, and thousands of green misty wind blades shot out and hit the tentacles with a muffled "ding ding" sound.
Han Changming and others were not idle either. They either released spells or used magic weapons to easily chop hundreds of thick yellow tentacles into pieces, causing the blood to flow continuously.
Five giant yellow octopuses emerged from the swamp. They had dozens of yellow eyeballs on their heads and their tentacles were bleeding. Judging from their aura, they were all fourth-level monsters.
Fang Yufei and others sacrificed four low-grade spiritual treasures, and the attack power was so powerful that the five fourth-level monsters could not stop them at all.
The five yellow octopuses each let out a strange roar, their eyeballs all lit up, and each shot out a thick yellow light, heading straight towards Han Changming and others.
The old man in green robe waved the green flag in his hand, releasing dozens of green misty gusts of wind, blocking hundreds of thick yellow lights.
Fang Yufei hurriedly waved the red feather fan, releasing bursts of red flames, and Han Changming and others also increased the intensity of their attacks.
A rumbling explosion sounded, red flames, white cold air, silver lightning and so on blended together, air waves rolled, and countless mud splashed.
Half a minute later, the spiritual light dissipated, and the five yellow octopuses disappeared. A large amount of charred meat floated above the swamp and slowly sank. A burnt smell filled the air.
The fourth-level monsters are not easy to deal with, but Han Changming and others are powerful and have many spiritual treasures in their hands, so it is not difficult to deal with these five fourth-level monsters.
They lost three Jindan cultivators without even seeing the shadow of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. This was not a good sign.
Fang Yufei's face was gloomy, and she warned: "Everyone, be careful and don't be careless."
Han Changming and others agreed, with a wary look on their faces.
The environment here is special, and the consciousness of the Nascent Soul cultivators has been affected. Han Changming used the Golden Eyes True Pupil but was unable to detect their existence, which shows that they are proficient in the art of concealment. Of course, the Golden Eyes True Pupil is only a small success. If they had cultivated to the great success, Han Changming would naturally have discovered them.
······
A month later, at the foot of a steep mountain, the mountain was covered with exotic flowers and plants.
Han Changming and fifteen others stood at the foot of the mountain with solemn expressions.
There were too many poisonous insects and beasts here, and they were unable to guard against them. Two more Jindan cultivators were killed.
They still did not find the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, but they did pick more than a dozen thousand-year-old elixirs and killed dozens of fourth-level poisonous insects and beasts.
"Do you see the cave halfway up the mountain? There is a three thousand year old soul-breaking grass there, but it is guarded by a group of soul-chasing spiders, including two fourth-grade top-quality soul-chasing spiders. This poisonous insect can spray soul-sucking forbidden light, which can even hook away the souls of immortal cultivators. The spider silk it sprays is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is impervious to water and fire. I have prepared a fourth-grade formation with ice attributes, so killing the soul-chasing spiders will not be a problem."
Fang Yufei pointed at Gao Feng and said with a serious look on her face.
"Soul-breaking Grass! Soul-chasing Spider!"
Han Changming frowned. The Soul-Breaking Grass is a famous poisonous grass. It is a great tonic for poisonous insects and beasts. The three thousand year old Soul-Breaking Grass has a wide range of uses. The five-level elixir also uses the three thousand year old Soul-Breaking Grass.
"Fairy Fang, are we passing by here? Or are we here specifically to pick the Soul-Breaking Grass?"
Han Debiao asked curiously.
"We passed by here and picked the Soul-breaking Grass. The Song family in Huolin Valley is in urgent need of the 3,000-year-old Soul-breaking Grass. With the Soul-breaking Grass, it will be easier for us to do things on Baicao Star. After all, I don't know if there is a 10,000-year-old Nine-Leaf Green Lotus in Yunmengze."
Fang Yufei said sincerely that she gathered so many masters not to pick the Soul-Breaking Grass, but they picked the Soul-Breaking Grass as they passed by here.
It is not so easy to come across the ten thousand year old Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. Looking for the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus in Yunmengze is purely a matter of luck. If it doesn't work, they can only look for other places on Baicao Star. With the help of the local snake Song family, they will have an easier time.
"It is safer to use the formation to kill the Soul Chasing Spider. As long as it is not hit by the Soul-Snatching Forbidden Light, there will not be much danger."
Li Xiao echoed.
Fang Yufei spoke, but no one else had any objections.
Li Xiao sacrificed a light blue round bead, which was shining with spiritual light. It was obviously a top-grade magic weapon.
After he injected magic power into it, the blue bead burst into a dazzling blue light.
Han Changming activated his golden eye to observe the situation halfway up the mountain.
The situation here is much better than that in the swamp. Han Changming can clearly see that there is a cave of several acres halfway up the mountain. Dozens of black spiders are lying in the lower left corner of the cave. There are more than ten black grasses nearby with diamond-shaped leaves.
"There are actually five fourth-level soul-chasing spiders. This is really a big trouble."
Li Xiao frowned and said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
Now that we have figured out the details of the evil insect, the danger will naturally be greatly reduced.
To be on the safe side, they set up five sets of fourth-order formations. After setting up the formations, Li Xiao took out a light green sandalwood, lit it, and inserted it in the center of the formation.
Insect-attracting incense is extremely attractive to poisonous insects below level five. The main business of the Hundred Beasts Merchant Alliance is selling spiritual beasts, spiritual insects and spiritual birds, and they have many means to deal with demonic insects and demonic beasts.
Five sets of fourth-level formations, two sets to deal with soul-chasing spiders, and three sets to guard against other poisonous insects and beasts.
They were divided into five groups, each group consisting of two Nascent Soul cultivators and one Core Formation cultivator, and each group was responsible for a set of fourth-order formations.
Han Changming was responsible for guarding against other poisonous insects and beasts, while Fang Yufei and Li Xiao each led a group to kill the Soul-Hunting Spiders.
After setting the bait, Fang Yufei took out a short ruler with a shining blue light and shook it gently. Countless blue mists rushed out and covered all of them.
After a while, the blue mist dissipated, and Han Changming and others disappeared.
As time passed, a strange fragrance drifted into the cave halfway up the mountain.
Two fourth-level Soul-Hunting Spiders led more than a dozen Soul-Hunting Spiders out of the cave and ran down the mountain.
They stopped hundreds of feet away from the insect-attracting incense. A very strange hissing sound was heard, and the fourth-level soul-chasing spider opened its mouth and sprayed out a thin black spider silk, heading straight for the insect-attracting incense.
The ground exploded and a gigantic mantis spider broke out of the ground. It waved a pair of sharp arms and cut the black spider silk.
When the soul-chasing spider saw the mantis spider, it made a sharp and piercing strange sound and rushed down with its companions.
Before they got close, they each sprayed out a black spider web, covering the mantis spider.
The mantis spider crossed its arms and swung them forward. There was a sound of breaking through the air, and hundreds of green wind blades swept out and slashed on the black spider web. There was a muffled "clang" sound, as if hitting a solid wall of steel.
The mantis spider spewed out a stream of green poisonous fire. When the black spider web was touched by the green poisonous fire, it was as if it had met its nemesis. It emitted a puff of green smoke and broke into pieces.
Just as the Soul-Hunting Spider was about to use other means, a large amount of white snowflakes suddenly floated down from the sky. Countless white cold air suddenly emerged from the ground, and the ground froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A snow-white light curtain appeared out of nowhere, covering an area of a thousand feet in radius, trapping a dozen soul-chasing spiders inside.
"Get started, and make it quick and decisive."
Fang Yufei urged, typing a spell into the formation plate, and the others followed suit.
Only a small number of the Soul-Hunting Spiders have appeared, and most of them are still in the nest. They have to get rid of more than a dozen Soul-Hunting Spiders as soon as possible.
"Oh no! There are poisonous insects attracted by the insect incense."
Han Changming's voice was heavy and his eyes were shining with golden light.
A strange hissing sound was heard, and hundreds of green poisonous snakes emerged from the dense forest. Their bellies were white and they moved very quickly.
At the same time, thousands of red poisonous bees and dozens of yellow poisonous scorpions swooped over from the other two directions, and a large number of poisonous insects and beasts rushed over from multiple places. The number was beyond their imagination.
“So many poisonous insects!”
Ye Xin's face was solemn. There were as many as twenty fourth-order poisonous insects and beasts. This was a big problem.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and a Jindan cultivator all injected a spell into the green array plates in their hands. With a whistling sound, dozens of green misty hurricanes suddenly appeared and attacked the green poisonous snake.
