If it weren't for this, the cultivators in front of him wouldn't be so relaxed. After all, according to the information left by their ancestors, most of the cultivators died at the hands of these strange creatures.
Li Xuan heard this and said without comment, "I hope I am overthinking it."
If those strange creatures were really frightened by the methods displayed by Yang Qi, it would be a good thing for everyone. Without the influence of those strange creatures, they could also concentrate more on finding the temple.
The group continued to move forward. As they continued to explore, the death energy grew stronger, and everyone had to devote more strength to deal with the erosion of the death energy.
Although the increase in death energy has brought some trouble to everyone, it also means that the direction of everyone's progress is not wrong. As long as the direction is correct, they will be able to find the temple sooner or later.
Woo~woo~
At this moment, bursts of low howling sounds came from the gray-black fog in the distance. Compared with the previous howling sounds when everyone encountered strange creatures, they were more frequent and dense.
"It's those weird creatures!"
Hearing this familiar howling sound, everyone immediately became extremely alert. Just from the howling sound, they already knew that there were many more strange creatures coming this time than the previous time.
"Yang Qi!"
Li Xuan hurriedly looked at Yang Qi. Those strange creatures would not reveal their bodies at the first time when they came, but would directly kill into the cultivators and then launch a sneak attack. This required Yang Qi to force those strange creatures out in advance.
Feeling Li Xuan's gaze, Yang Qi nodded solemnly. Although he did not need to deal with these strange creatures head-on, he needed to deal with all the hidden strange creatures.
“Here it comes!”
Hearing the whistling sound coming from afar, Yang Qi's eyes focused, and the sword in his hand shook, and a series of fierce attacks slashed towards the incoming whistling sound.
Bang! Bang!
The sharp black sword light fell, the surrounding space shook, and one strange creature after another revealed its figures.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
When the strange creatures revealed their figures, the practitioners who had already gathered their strength immediately attacked those strange creatures.
"there!"
After forcing the strange creatures here out of their hiding state, Yang Qi shook the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand and attacked to the other side again, because there were more strange creatures coming from another direction.
Yang Qi succeeded in forcing out those hidden strange creatures time and time again, but these strange creatures immediately hid again after fighting with the practitioners.
Boom! Boom!
The strange creatures that were forced out fought with the practitioners, and the sounds of fierce fighting continued to spread. The sounds of the strange creatures' activities immediately became difficult to detect.
"Brother Yang, five hundred feet to the left!"
"Brother Yang, seven hundred feet behind!"
"Brother Yang, four hundred feet to the upper right!"
Fortunately, the practitioners were well prepared. They used their own perception to inform Yang Qi of the locations of those strange creatures and let Yang Qi take action. Although the effect was a little worse, it finally worked.
“Too many!”
Yang Qi kept swinging the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, but many practitioners were still attacked, because the number of strange creatures that attacked this time was several times that of the last time, and their number was even greater than that of Yang Qi and others.
Li Xuan continued to attack the strange creatures that appeared, but with a bitter smile on his face, "The thing I was worried about still happened."
When he noticed that the strange creatures had not appeared again, he was worried that these strange creatures would gather together and attack them by relying on their advantage in numbers. He did not expect that this worry would become a reality.
Although Yang Qi was able to restrain those hidden strange creatures, he was alone after all, and his perception range was suppressed to the extreme. It was impossible for him to take full account of them in the melee.
“Ah~”
At this moment, not far away, a scream was heard. The cultivator was attacked by the strange creature. The attacked part instantly turned gray and black, and the gray and black part was still slowly expanding.
Poof!
The cultivator endured the pain, shook the Taoist weapon in his hand, and directly dug out the gray-black part from his body. But even so, the area around the dug out part still appeared a deathly gray, and the speed of recovery from the injury was greatly reduced.
"What a terrible erosion of death."
Seeing this scene, Yang Qi's pupils shrank. The attack of the strange creature was like a deadly poison, which continued to spread. Even if the flesh and blood were dug out in time, the toxins would still remain. It was fine for a short time, but once it was too long, or if too much toxins accumulated, there was only one way to go, death.
Therefore, once injured, they must end the battle as soon as possible and heal their wounds, but will those strange creatures give them a chance to heal
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "This won't work. Even if we defeat these strange creatures, we will suffer heavy losses. What should we do next?"
There were many practitioners entering the Dead Zone this time, but there were only forty-two of them. And there was no telling how many strange creatures there were in the Dead Zone. If they fought to the death, exchanging their lives for theirs, they would definitely be the ones to die.
"Illusionary Sky Sword!"
Yang Qi let out a low roar and shook the sword in his hand. The void around him trembled and a strong soul pressure acted on those strange creatures. However, this soul suppression could not force those strange creatures to lose their hiding positions.
Bell~
Yang Qi moved his hand, and the soul-calming bell appeared in his hand. At the same time, a clear bell sound spread from his hand. In an instant, the area suppressed by the soul trembled, and hidden strange creatures revealed their figures.
"There are still hidden strange creatures!" A sharp light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes.
Relying on the effects of soul suppression and the soul-calming bell, it is still impossible to completely force out the hidden strange creatures. There are still some powerful strange creatures that can attack in hiding, and these strange creatures can only be defeated by attacking.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Yang Qi swung the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, and sharp black sword beams rushed towards the direction where the howling sound came from, forcing out those hidden strange creatures.
Seeing that most of the strange creatures were forced out, Li Xuan shouted, "Quick, end the battle as soon as possible!"
Although Yang Qi forced those strange creatures out, it was obvious that Yang Qi used a soul method, and it was a large-scale soul method. This method consumed a lot of energy, and even Yang Qi could not hold on for too long. If they could not end the battle as soon as possible, once Yang Qi could not hold on, they would be in trouble.
After hearing Li Xuan's words, the practitioners did not dare to hold back. They all burst out with all their strength and frantically attacked the exposed strange creatures.
The most terrifying thing about these strange creatures is their ability to hide, and the terrifying death energy contained in their attacks, but they may not be very strong in a head-on fight. Now that they can no longer hide, under the attacks of the practitioners, the strange creatures are defeated and disappear. (To be continued)
