Chapter 988: Tentacle Chi
Chapter 988: Tentacle Chi
The young woman seemed to hear the voice and turned around slowly. The young woman who looked like 18 years old had an unparalleled appearance.
It was Yao Ji who had an intimate sexual moment with Liu Ming.
Wen Zeng was a little stunned. When he was about to speak, the young woman snorted coldly,
“Human cultivator!”
Wen Zeng sensed the killing intent from the young woman, and he shouted without thinking. 8 plague crows were released toward Yao Ji.
“Stupid!”
Seeing this, Yao Ji sneered and released a red claw shadow the size of a house. It flashed and grabbed the plague crows.
The plague crows all collapsed when the claw closed.
All this happened as quickly as lightning, Wen Zeng was shocked and froze for a moment.
The young woman in palace costume must be a Real Pellet Cultivator to be able to cancel the plague crows instantly. What’s more, the red claw was condensed with beastkin aura.
As soon as he thought of this, Wen Zeng instantly gave up competing with this woman for things on the stone platform. He turned into a gray escape light and flew toward the entrance.
He traveled 30 meters in a flash. When he was about to escape, the stone door flashing with blue light closed.
Wen Zeng couldn’t stop and slammed into the stone door heavily.
There was a muffled bang, but the stone door didn’t even shake a little.
Wen Zeng’s face looked extremely ugly. He had already cast a small gray shield to protect himself, so he wasn’t hurt. However, the enchantment on the stone door wasn’t trivial. He couldn’t crack it instantly.
At this moment, the young woman in palace costume appeared like a ghost a dozen meters away. She looked at Wen Zeng with cold eyes and launched a white light.
Wen Zeng hurriedly turned around and blocked the white light with the small gray shield.
The white light just stuck on the small shield as it hit, which surprised Wen Zeng.
There was a contemptuous smile in the eyes of the young woman in palace costume. She said a word softly, and the small shield was covered with a layer of white light. It lost its brilliance and fell to the ground.
However, before Wen Zeng could react again, the young woman hit Wen Zeng with a white light, which tightly adhered to Wen Zeng’s chest.
Wen Zeng was anxious. He tried to dispel this white light with his own power, but his spiritual power was being absorbed by the white light continuously.
The young woman launched a dozen more white lights to cover his entire body.
In the white light was a palm-sized wriggling white sticky insect.
Although Wen Zeng tried his best to control the outflow of spiritual power, it was obviously in vain. After 3 seconds, his spiritual power was being devoured.
When the young woman was about to execute him, she saw the sect mark on Wen Zeng’s shirt and stopped abruptly..
“This mark… Which sect of Middle Sky Continent are you from?” The young woman in palace costume looked strange as she asked coldly.
“I’m a disciple of the Middle Sky Continent’s Taiqing Sect.” Wen Zeng had already closed his eyes to wait for his own death. Seeing the young woman suddenly stop, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hurriedly replied.
“Taiqing Sect… Do you know a person named Liu Ming?” The young woman frowned slightly, hesitated, and asked again.
“Liu Ming? He is my junior fellow apprentice who entered the ruins with me.” Wen Zeng was startled and replied without hesitation.
“Tell me everything you know about this person.” The young woman in palace costume said with a cold face.
Wen Zeng felt a little strange when he heard the words, but his life was on her hands, so he told everything he knew about Liu Ming.
“Okay, you’re quite smart.” After listening, the young woman in palace costume said with an indescribably cold face.
“Could it be that I didn’t say enough details?” Wen Zeng felt a little worried.
Liu Ming had been away from the sect for a long time, so there weren’t many rumors about him. He even told her about Liu Ming’s engagement with Jia Lan.
“Fairy, I have already said everything I know. Can you don’t kill me?” Wen Zeng asked cautiously.
“Hmph!“
The young woman in palace costume didn’t answer, but the white sticky insects squeaked and went into Wen Zeng’s body.
“You……”
Wen Zeng was startled. The next moment, the heart-wrenching pain came, stopping him from saying.
His body inflated like a balloon and exploded, turning into a blood rain.
The young woman in palace costume calmly looked at the bloody scene with a frown. She seemed to be thinking something.
Not long after, more than a dozen white insects flew out of the blood rain. They returned to her hand with Wen Zeng’s storage devices, then they returned to the small pouch on her waist.
…
At almost the same time, somewhere in the ruins, above the somewhat turbid sea, Liu Ming in a purple sword light was flying forward.
Suddenly, the purple sword light stopped abruptly in mid-air, and Liu Ming looked around.
Just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing.
“What was it just now?” His Divine Thought instantly covered a radius of a hundred miles.
After some searching, nothing was found.
“Looks like I’m overthinking.” He shook his head and continued to fly forward.
After a while, he took out a jade slip and read it with Divine Thought.
An hour later, a gray island appeared in front of it. A gray mist covered the entire island. From a long distance, he could sense the thick evil yin qi.
“The island shrouded in gray mist! It is this place!” There was a hint of joy in Liu Ming’s eyes.
It had been more than a month since he left the underground crystal palace. He had been searching for treasures for more than a month.
This month, he had gained a lot. He obtained the jade slip in his hand by killing an unknown alien race cultivator a few days ago.
The upper realm ruins opened every 30,000 years. Except for the central area where everyone entered, the surrounding area was also vast. So far, no one had gone to the end, and no one knew what this place was before.
Regarding the map information of the upper realm ruins, the major sects had explored for many times, so they had part of the information. The same was true for the Taiqing Sect. There were usually some dangerous areas marked on it as well as the ruins that might contain treasures.
In the past few days, he had been searching all the way according to the jade slip map. The nameless island covered by gray mist was a particularly dangerous area marked on the jade slip. Of course, it might also have treasures.
Liu Ming flew forward slowly. Purple lightning appeared around him, easily tearing the gray mist around the island and entering it.
What unfolded in front of him was a desolate world.
The place was filled with gray mist. There were some short mountains and flat ground looking from the edge of the island. Almost no plants could be spotted, and there wasn’t any aura of the beastkin.
Liu Ming carefully flew forward.
As a result, the deeper he went into the island, the fewer grounds and mountains there were. There were quagmires of various sizes as well as swamps of different sizes that exuded a rotten smell.
From time to time, one after another large bubbles popped in the swamp, releasing more gray mist.
“This place is simply a place of death and decay!” Liu Ming murmured while looking at the scene in front of him.
At this moment, a swamp on the right suddenly exploded. A dozen black tentacles extended toward Liu Ming.
“Tentacle chi!” Liu Ming was slightly surprised.
Tentacle chi was also a kind of ancient wild beast. Its cultivation was very slow to improve, but its lifespan was long. It liked dark and humid environments by nature. It could turn a large area into a dead place where no creatures could survive.
However, in the Middle Sky Continent, the tentacle chi had been extinct for thousands of years.
Liu Ming went through the information he had learned about tentacle chi in his mind. He waved and launched a purple sword light of 30 meters.
The stinky blood splashed as the tentacles were all cut off. A hoarse scream came from the swamp, then there was no sound.
Liu Ming didn’t chase after it anymore. He flew up, stopped in midair and released Divine Though to the middle of the island.
This island was not big, which was only a thousand miles in radius. His current Divine Thought could barely cover it.
He was surprised to find that the closer to the middle, the bigger the swamps and quagmires. The middle was a huge black quagmire.
This place was the nest of tentacle chi, no wonder it was marked as a dangerous place.
Liu Ming couldn’t help but hesitate!
Although he was strong and had a semi-finished Mountain River Pearl, he probably couldn’t escape safely facing so many tentacle chi.
At the same time, he felt a little strange. Why is such a beastkin lair marked as a place with hidden treasures?
