There was a dense black forest, with flames shooting up into the sky. The sky turned crimson, and a large number of red fireballs streaked across the sky and crashed into the dense forest.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and large black trees were hit by the red fireballs and instantly burned to ashes, leaving the ground full of potholes.
A dozen Xuanyin Sect disciples flew quickly over the black forest, their expressions panicked.
Lin Xuan frowned. According to the intelligence, there should be no restrictions here. But as soon as they went deeper into this place, they immediately triggered the restrictions. It was really weird.
Two shrill male screams were heard, and two Xuanyin Sect disciples were hit by dense red fireballs. They were immediately engulfed in the billowing flames, and their speed slowed down. More red fireballs fell, and flames shot up into the sky.
Lin Xuan's face changed and he quickly put up another defense.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they flew out of the dense forest. There were no more red fireballs falling from the sky, but the void above the dense forest was still red, forming a sharp contrast with the blue sky in the distance.
Song Lei's face turned ugly. It seemed that he had to take a detour. If he continued to follow the original route, the losses would surely be huge. Maybe changing the route would allow him to be safe.
"Uncle Song, are we still going to follow the original route?"
The young woman in the black dress asked cautiously, looking nervous.
"Let's change the route! If we don't, our losses will be even greater."
Song Lei sighed, his tone full of helplessness.
Ahead was a vast grassland, which was next to a huge black lake. According to the original route map, they had to pass through the grassland. If they took a detour, they could only pass through the black lake.
The young woman in black skirt shook her sleeves, and a black light flew out. It was the corpse of a demon bird wrapped in black air. There were two green flames in its eye sockets, and it exuded a cold breath. It was a bone corpse.
The demon bird flapped its bony wings and flew towards the black lake, but not very fast.
The skeleton circled above the black lake without triggering any restrictions or being attacked by any monsters.
Song Lei did not dare to be careless. He looked at Lin Xuan and ordered, "Lin Xuan, nephew Li, nephew Zhao, nephew Yang, you guys take the lead and we will follow behind."
Lin Xuan and the other three did not dare to refuse and agreed. They lined up in a line and flew towards the black lake safely.
After confirming that there was no problem, Song Lei and others followed.
······
A steep black mountain with sparse vegetation and covered with black rocks. The sky is gray and looks a bit depressing.
There is a huge cave at the foot of the mountain. It is pitch black inside the cave and you can’t see clearly what’s going on inside.
Han Changming and others stood at the foot of the mountain with different expressions.
There is a mysterious power in the cave that greatly restricts spiritual consciousness.
Fang Yufei held a round bead with a green glow in her hand, and used it to observe the situation inside the cave.
Han Changming also activated his golden eyes to observe the situation inside the cave.
He could clearly see that deep in the cave, there was a pool of water over a hundred feet in size. Three green lotus flowers were floating in the pool. The bud of one of the green lotus flowers was blooming. It had nine petals and there were some golden lines on the inside of the petals.
"Nine-leaf green lotus."
Han Changming was both surprised and delighted. It was indeed an ancient battlefield where there was a ten-thousand-year-old nine-leaf green lotus. This kind of magical medicine had very high requirements for the growing environment and would wither if not handled with care.
In addition to a ten-thousand-year-old nine-leaf green lotus, there are two nine-leaf green lotuses that are more than five thousand years old. In the upper left corner of the cave, there is a huge bird's nest. A silver falcon with a silver body is lying in the nest. The bird's beak is golden and its claws are green.
"Wind and Thunder Falcon!"
Han Changming frowned. The Wind and Thunder Falcon was proficient in wind and thunder techniques and had an extremely fast flying speed. No wonder it was able to guard the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus for ten thousand years.
The Wind-Thunder Falcon in the cave is a fourth-grade mid-level monster, and its magical powers are no worse than those of a fourth-grade top-level monster.
"The Wind and Thunder Falcon, this spiritual beast has great magical powers. If we set up a formation, it won't be a problem to kill it."
Fang Yufei said softly, and the three Nascent Soul cultivators immediately took out the fourth-order formation and set it up.
There are four sets of fourth-order formations in total, which are used to prevent attacks from other monsters and ensure that everything is safe.
With the lesson from Yunmengze, they did not use anything to lure monsters, otherwise it would be troublesome if they attracted dozens of fourth-level monsters.
After setting up the formation, Fang Qingxue sacrificed a metal sphere that was shining with green light. The surface of the metal sphere was covered with mysterious spiritual patterns.
She cast a spell, and with the sound of a mechanism, the metal sphere transformed into a five-meter-tall green crane puppet with a golden beak. It was obviously a fourth-level puppet beast.
She made a hand gesture and the giant crane puppet flapped its wings gently, creating a gust of wind and flew into the cave.
The terrain of the cave is complex, but it is nothing for a Nascent Soul cultivator. A wisp of Fang Qingxue's spirit attached to the puppet beast and controlled it to fly into the cave.
Not long after, the giant crane puppet beast appeared in the cave where the Wind and Thunder Falcon was.
The Wind and Thunder Falcon soon discovered the intruder. Thunder rumbled on its body, and countless silver arcs of electricity surged out. It flapped its wings lightly, and hundreds of silver lightning balls flew out and hit the giant crane puppet beast.
The giant crane puppet beast was not afraid at all. It opened its mouth and spurted out a green light, which turned into a green hurricane and blocked all the silver thunder balls.
With a loud rumbling sound, a green hurricane exploded, and dozens of silver lightning balls hit the giant crane puppet beast one after another. The dazzling silver lightning light submerged the giant crane puppet.
A dazzling green light flashed in the lightning, and the giant crane puppet was safe and sound.
A silver light suddenly lit up above the giant crane's head, and the Wind and Thunder Falcon appeared. As soon as it appeared, countless silver arcs of electricity emerged from its claws and grabbed towards the head of the giant crane puppet. There was a "clang clang" sound of metal colliding, and sparks flew.
If it was an ordinary fourth-level spiritual bird, the immortal would have been seriously injured, but the giant crane was a fourth-level puppet and had strong defense.
The Wind-Thunder Falcon and the Giant Crane Puppet were fighting in the cave. There were constant explosions and rolling air waves. The entire cave was shaking and a large amount of rubble rolled down.
After a while, the giant crane puppet flew out of the cave and the Wind and Thunder Falcon chased after it.
As soon as they arrived outside the cave, hundreds of white lights shot up into the sky and went straight into the sky.
Feng Lei Falcon realized that something was wrong and countless silver arcs of electricity appeared on its body surface.
Just then, a deafening whistle sounded.
Its head was buzzing and it slowed down. A huge white light curtain appeared out of nowhere and covered the Wind and Thunder Falcon.
A large number of white snowflakes emerged from the light curtain. These white snowflakes blurred and turned into white ice swords. There were tens of thousands of them, attacking the Wind and Thunder Falcon from all directions.
The Wind and Thunder Falcon would naturally not surrender. It fought back desperately, releasing silver lightning bolts to meet the attack.
There was a loud rumbling sound and a wave of air.
Li Xiao and others controlled the formation to attack the Wind and Thunder Falcon. The Wind and Thunder Falcon was quite powerful, but five Nascent Soul cultivators controlled the formation at the same time, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were not idle either. The Wind and Thunder Falcon was no match at all. A large number of feathers fell off, and the ground was covered with blood.
Half a quarter of an hour later, with a shrill bird cry, the Wind and Thunder Falcon was cut in half by a huge blade shining with green light and fell to the ground.
Li Xiao removed the formation, took away Fenglei Falcon's demon pill and spirit, and gave them to Fang Yufei.
"Friend Han, I'll give you this demon pill! It should be useful for your spirit insects."
Fang Yufei handed the demon pill to Han Changming, who took it without hesitation, thanked her.
Li Xiao flew into the cave with three Nascent Soul cultivators to pick the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, while Fang Yufei and others were waiting outside.
Lei Hong held the map and discussed the route of departure with Fang Yufei. Han Debiao and others were responsible for vigilance, and Han Changming used his golden eyes to observe the surroundings.
Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard from the cave.
The monks were shocked and looked towards the cave.
Han Changming immediately checked the situation in the cave. He could clearly see that Li Xiao and the old woman in green robe were attacking two giant pythons that were more than 20 feet long. There was a huge fleshy crown on the python's head, emitting a three-colored glow, and its thick waist was covered with a large number of green scales.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators fell to the ground, one of them had a bloody hole on his head and his body was half bloody, as if he had been poisoned.
"Sanxia Python, it's actually such a poisonous beast!"
Han Changming frowned. The two Sanxia Pythons were both mid-grade fourth-level pythons. They should have been hiding in the pool and suddenly emerged from the pool when the two Nascent Soul cultivators were picking the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus.
He had observed the pool beforehand and did not spot the two Sanxia Pythons. This must be because they were good at hiding.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, let's go and lend a helping hand to Fellow Daoist Li."
Lei Hong called out and turned into a streak of silver light and flew into the cave, with Liu Guang following closely behind.
As a result, only five people were left outside the cave: Han Changming, Ye Xin, Han Debiao, Fang Qingxue and Fang Yufei.
"Oh no, a fourth-level demon bird is coming. It's the Wind and Thunder Falcon."
Han Changming exclaimed.
Just as he finished speaking, a silver light appeared in the distant sky and flew towards here quickly at an extremely fast speed.
Not long after, silver light appeared above their heads. It was a wind-thunder falcon with a wingspan of more than ten feet, and its body was wrapped in countless silver arcs of electricity.
"A fourth-grade, superior-quality Wind-Thunder Falcon!"
Han Debiao's face darkened. It seemed that there was a pair of wind-thunder falcons in the cave. They killed one, but there was still a more powerful one.
The Wind and Thunder Falcon smelled the blood in the air and the bloody feathers scattered on the ground. It let out a sharp and piercing hissing sound, flapped its wings fiercely, and a deafening thunder sounded.
Hundreds of silver thunder balls flew out and hit them like hail.
Han Debiao took out a long stick shining with golden light and swung it. There was a continuous sound of breaking wind, and heavy shadows of the stick swept out, like a black wind python with a thick waist, and rushed forward.
Fang Qingxue reacted quickly. She summoned a small umbrella gleaming with white light, flew over their heads, and chanted a spell. The small white umbrella spun around, dropping down a large area of white light that covered the four of them.
Han Debiao has used heavenly thunder to temper his body over the years and is not afraid of ordinary thunder attacks at all. He swung the golden giant stick to attack the Wind and Thunder Falcon.
The Wind and Thunder Falcon was flying very fast, circling in the sky. A huge black thundercloud suddenly appeared in the sky, covering an area of more than ten miles.
The rumbling sound of thunder rang out, the thunderclouds rolled violently, and silver lightning balls flew out and hit Han Changming and others below.
