In the swamp wetland, a poisonous snake coiled on a tree and spewed out its tongue.
The sounds of clashing swords and explosions were endless. The three members of the Sword Sect and the three members of the Tianyan Sect were fighting fiercely and were evenly matched.
Suddenly, a plaintive tune was heard. The six men were so focused on fighting that they were not aware that they were overwhelmed by the tune, causing their blood to surge and their minds to become confused.
The chaos became even more chaotic. Two black wolves jumped out from the deep forest as fast as the wind and slammed heavily into the center of the chaos, roaring and snarling.
The six people were terrified. Under the influence of the soul-chasing music, their vision became blurred and they saw the two wolves looked strange. They were not real animals but puppets.
One has two ferocious heads with fireballs and lightning accumulating in its mouth, and the other has a scorpion tail curled up and full of sharp spikes and blades.
roar!!
The two wolves roared and attacked from both sides.
Flames spread across the land, arcs of lightning flew, and the collision of lightning and fire caused a violent explosion.
The scorpion's tail was like a whip, sweeping through the enemy troops and killing several of them.
In a moment, the six people disappeared in defeat, the music stopped, and a yellow bird jumped down from the tree.
Jiang Yuebai put away the white jade xun and ordered the two shadow wolf puppets that she had spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to create to go deep into the dense forest to stand guard.
She squatted down, dug out a piece of spiritual grass from the edge of the swamp and put it into the jade box.
During these three days, the sword energy in her body had not been completely eliminated. She had always prioritized her journey and had not gotten entangled with monsters and evil spirits. When encountering a large formation, she would avoid it if possible. If she couldn't avoid it, she would just demolish it violently without getting into the details.
Whenever she encounters someone she can kill, whether they are disciples of the Sword Sect or the Tianyan Sect, she will go out and kill them to increase the number of kills she has.
Yesterday evening, she met the brother and sister Xu Qianjin and Xu Qiancheng. With the help of the skylark puppet, she watched them from afar for a while. The Liangyi Sword Formation was indeed extraordinary. She avoided its edge and took a detour.
In addition, Jiang Yuebai also collected a lot of stone spiritual herbs and caught a few small insects along the way.
She wanted to know how the things in the small world of the cave were different from those in the outside world. Could they be taken out? Would there be any changes after taking them out
This is clearly an incomplete world, so why do the sun and moon rotate? Why do there are twelve hours in a day
There is also a different weather every ten miles, with blowing sand in the west and falling snow in the east. How do the laws work here
The sound of a monkey howling was heard in the deep forest. Jiang Yuebai suppressed his doubts, took out the viewing mirror, and checked the surroundings through the skylark puppet he had released.
No particularly dangerous existence was found yet, so Jiang Yuebai found a tree hole to set up her formation and rest, and took out the spirit rat that Yun Shang had given her.
During these three days, she would release the spirit rat every time she rested. Once there was danger approaching, the spirit rat would call, allowing her to avoid the danger in time.
But there were a few times when the spirit rat called, but she didn't notice anything around, just like the time before when Xiaobi always felt that she was being followed but couldn't find the person.
"The competition is halfway through, and there is still about one-third of the journey to go. We are meeting more and more people, so we must be ruthless and get rid of them with sword energy."
Jiang Yuebai took out the jade sensor given by Lu Nanzhi again, but there was still no response.
"It seems that I am really unlucky. I don't know what happened to them."
Putting away the jade, Jiang Yuebai endured the pain in his meridians and adjusted his breathing for a moment, preparing to force the sword energy out of his body.
squeak!
The spirit rat suddenly called out. Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes, but before she could pick up the viewing mirror, she heard a loud noise coming from the direction she came from.
The earth shook, trees flew backwards, a frail male cultivator held his chest and ran for his life, with a huge eighth-rank golden-eyed mantis king chasing him violently.
"Song Zhiang?"
Jiang Yuebai controlled the Skylark Puppet to move closer. There was a hideous bloody mark on Song Zhiang's chest, with his skin torn and flesh exposed. It was obvious that he was injured by the Golden-eyed Mantis King.
There were also crisscrossing scars on the body of the Golden-eyed Mantis King, and the only remaining sickle was swinging wildly, which showed that the two had once had a fierce battle.
Now Song Zhiang is fleeing in panic, which means that he has used up all his cards and is unable to fight back.
“It’s a waste to refuse a head that’s delivered to my door.” Jiang Yuebai jumped out of the tree hole.
The golden-eyed mantis king slashed out sharp silver moons, powerful and violent, biting Song Zhiang's back and cutting off his flying black hair inch by inch.
Song Zhiang held the spirit stone in his hand, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out all the strength in his body to escape.
Along the way, he fought several fierce battles and killed dozens of sword cultivators, but he also wasted a lot of magic weapons. If he had known that the monsters would become more powerful the deeper they went, he should have conserved his strength and not been so greedy and reckless.
The Golden-eyed Mantis King was forced into a corner, spread his wings, and suddenly increased his speed. He rushed to Song Zhiang's side and swept his sharp sickle across his neck.
Song Zhiang's eyes were bloodshot, and at the critical moment, a metal scorpion tail shot out from the dark forest, wrapped around the mantis's sickle and tightened it.
Buzz!
The sharp energy cut Song Zhiang's neck, and he was only an inch away from being beheaded.
"Junior Brother Song, do you need help?"
Song Zhiang's heart tightened. His self-esteem made him unwilling to be rescued by Jiang Yuebai, but his competitive spirit, unwilling to be eliminated, made him suppress his courage and leap to the tree where Jiang Yuebai was.
The Golden-Eyed Mantis King roared violently, swung his sickle, and threw the Shadow Wolf Puppet out of the forest, smashing it heavily on the ancient tree.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes became fierce, and he put the white jade xun under his lips and blew it hard, the desolate melody made people confused and frightened.
The Golden-Eyed Mantis King's breath was disordered, and the two Shadow Wolf Puppets took the opportunity to kill him.
The scorpion's tail coiled, flames burned, and lightning splashed, detonating everything.
boom!
Flames shot up into the sky, wood chips flew everywhere, Song Zhiang covered his face with his sleeves, his pupils shaking violently.
He had heard Shen Huaixi mention before that Jiang Yuebai made farming puppets in Huaxi Valley, blessing all the spiritual farmers in the sect. He had also mocked her for being unpresentable and using her good puppetry to farm.
But the scene before him at this moment made him speechless and his heart was filled with shock and surprise.
He practiced weapon arts, so he could naturally tell the good from the bad of the two puppets. He broke the inherent style of ordinary monster puppets, and the innovation of double heads and scorpion tails were the finishing touches.
To make up for the problem that ordinary shadow wolf puppets are only stealthy and agile but lack attack power.
One that combines a fire array and a thunder array. The flames burn, the lightning paralyzes, and the collision of thunder and fire causes an explosion, greatly increasing the power. It is a spell-type attack.
A useless wolf tail is transformed into a scorpion tail, which has the sharpness of a sword and the function of a rope, and can be used as a weapon for attack.
The cooperation between the two shadow wolf puppets is simply wonderful!
There is also Jiang Yuebai's spiritual awareness. She can control two complex puppets and still have enough energy to play the xiao music. These things consume a lot of spiritual awareness, but she can do it with ease, which makes Song Zhiang amazed.
When it comes to Jiang Yuebai trying to get close to Lu Nanzhi, Song Zhiang feels that he is totally out of line.
The flames faded, and the Golden-eyed Mantis King was left with a charred body. He staggered and was about to fall. He held on with one breath, flapped his wings, broke through the air, and appeared in front of Jiang Yuebai.
Song Zhiang leaned against the tree in fear and dared not move. Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled slightly.
At this moment, a cold light shot out from the cold jade pendant on Jiang Yuebai's waist and hit the right eye of the Golden-eyed Mantis King.
The huge mantis froze in mid-air in an instant, then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Jiang Yuebai loosened his hand, pressed the cold jade pendant and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man."
The cold jade pendant flashed twice in response. The Ice Beetle King was also at the eighth level. Jiang Yuebai had a contract with it, but because his cultivation was lower than that of the Beetle King, he usually did not control it.
Jiang Yuebai jumped down and took a look around, then put all the bodies of the golden-eyed mantis king that had been frozen into ice cubes into the empty storage bag.
Song Zhiang's face turned pale and he felt guilty and ashamed. He took several deep breaths before he mustered up the courage to bow and thank him.
"Thank you so much, Senior Sister Jiang... for your help in rescuing me."
Jiang Yuebai stuffed the storage bag into his lapel and turned around and smiled.
"You're welcome. After all, I saved you because..."
clang!
With a sweep of the knife, Song Zhiang's eyes widened, his vision occupied by silver light. When he came to his senses, he had fallen into the square, and the chill rushed from his neck to the top of his head.
“…to grab heads.”
Jiang Yuebai finished the second half of the sentence and put the knife back into its sheath.
If Song Zhiang were to be killed by the monster, his death would be in vain. Of course, he would be put to good use only if he died at her hands.
Squeak! Squeak!
The spirit rat jumped onto Jiang Yuebai's shoulder and kept calling towards the distance. Jiang Yuebai hurriedly took out the viewing mirror and controlled the skylark puppet to check.
"Brother Zhuo, the noise came from over there..."
clang!
A crack suddenly appeared on the viewing mirror and the image disappeared, causing Jiang Yuebai to feel a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness.
At the same time, the spirit rat trembled and buried its head in Jiang Yue's white clothes and refused to come out.
"It's a narrow road for enemies to cross! Why am I so unlucky!"
The cold wind suddenly blew and approached rapidly with murderous intent. Jiang Yuebai didn't care about anything else. He took back the two shadow wolf puppets and hurriedly took out the wood escape talisman.
After escaping three times in a row, Jiang Yuebai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the murderous intent behind him was gone. He was surprised to find that something was unusual around him.
She seemed to be trapped in some large formation, and this formation was different from the ones she had encountered before.
