Chapter 359 Worth Pursuing
Everyone covered their bodies and quietly fell from the patio. At the same time, they all took a night vision talisman on themselves.
Just below the patio, there are piles of bones covered by yellow sand. There are monsters and humans. A giant locust about the size of a human is lying majestically on a pile of bones. Its body is red and yellow, and it has two scimitar-shaped tentacles on its head. Swinging, a faint green light flashed on the blade.
On the stone wall deep in the cave, there are water droplets seeping out, slowly gathering down, forming a clear spring. Next to the spring are seven or eight small pale white flowers, six of which are mature and exuding extremely rich fragrance. medicinal scent.
The small pale white flower is called Shaquanhua. It is a spiritual grass unique to the Black Wind Desert. It is the main material of the elixir Yongquan Dan in the elixir formation stage.
When Yuan Ming and the others saw the scene in the hollow, they did not take action rashly. Instead, they continued to hide and explore around, looking for other poisonous knife locusts.
"There is one hiding in the sand on the left, and one hiding in the cracks of the stone wall on the right. I haven't found the third-level intermediate one yet. You guys first..." Fang Youting released his consciousness and observed for a moment.
Yuan Ming said firmly: "The remaining one is hiding under the spring."
Fang Youting was stunned, and quickly released his consciousness, looking in the direction Yuan Ming said. After a moment, he looked at Yuan Ming deeply, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yuan Ming had no intention of explaining, and said directly: "It will be left to you, fellow Taoist Fang."
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Qi and Ya Xian, took out the white bone knife, and took action at the same time as them, looking at the Poison Knife Locust ambushing in the sand.
The bone knife shot out of the air and whizzed into the sand.
But the Poison Knife Locust seemed to have noticed something. Before it was hit by the bone knife, it screamed and quickly emerged from the sand. It fluttered its wings and flew into the air. It passed by the bone knife, but still Affected by the cold aura on the bone knife, his body trembled and a layer of white frost appeared on his body.
In mid-air, Yuan Ming saw this and immediately made a hand gesture with one hand, pointing towards the bone knife in the sand.
A large white flame instantly emerged from the bone knife and surged towards the Poison Knife Locust.
The Poison Knife Locust wanted to fly and dodge, but found that it was affected by the cold aura, and its flying speed dropped sharply. It was unable to distance itself from the white flames, so it could only shake its head lightly, and the tentacles above its head suddenly danced wildly, cutting out an airtight fire. The emerald green sword light dispersed the incoming white flames.
Yuan Ming's eyes were slightly cold, he raised his finger, and the white bone knife rose into the air again, slashing towards the poisonous knife locust.
The Poison Knife Locust repeated his old trick, and just as he was about to strike out with the sword light again, his vision suddenly blurred, and the white bone knife disappeared, replaced by his partner.
It was stunned, and subconsciously screamed to ask about the situation of its partner, but the partner rushed up without saying a word, and the tentacles on its head slashed past its waist.
"Click"
The body of this poisonous knife locust was immediately broken into two parts, and the two separated limbs were still moving, and its eyes were staring at its "partner", as if wanting to know the reason.
However, after the "mate" in front of him blurred for a while, he turned into a white bone knife again and flew towards Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming glanced at the Poison Knife Locust on the ground, and after confirming that its vitality had dissipated, he immediately controlled the bone knife to assist Feng Qi and others.
As a third-level demonic beast, the Poison Knife Locust is very fragile, but it is very responsive and extremely fast. The poisonous knife light slashed from the tentacles above its head is very difficult to deal with. Even if an ordinary pill-forming monk fights against it, even if it has the upper hand. Opportunities often turn from offense to defense within a few rounds of fighting, and are constantly consumed by the Poison Knife Locust until exhaustion, or they may be killed by sneak attacks by other Poison Knife Locusts ambushing in the dark.
But for Yuan Ming, a monster of this level, with a little illusion, is really not a strong enemy. After all, in the eyes of others, the Poison Knife Locust he faced was just stunned suddenly. As for the reason , naturally no one will ask.
If Feng Qi and others had not followed him, he would have eliminated all the poisonous knife locusts here.
However, when assisting Feng Qi and others, Yuan Ming did not use illusions rashly to avoid arousing suspicion. Instead, he used the white flames and cold aura of the white bone knife to continuously weaken the speed of the Poison Knife Locust, and finally Feng Qi and others Find an opportunity to kill with one strike.
Soon, everyone cleared away the poisonous knife locusts. Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw Yuan Ming still looking at ease. He sighed: "I didn't expect that Brother Yuan, who is usually so quiet, would be so strong. If Pi Xiu hadn't said it himself, it would be hard for me to believe that you, Brother Yuan, have just entered Jiedan."
"Brother Feng, that's ridiculous. I'm just luckier and got a powerful magic weapon by chance." Yuan Ming said modestly.
Fang Youting looked at the white bone knife in Yuan Ming's hand and nodded in agreement: "Yin-type magic weapons are not common. Fellow Daoist Yuan was able to refine this treasure. He must have been preparing for a long time before forming the elixir, and spent a lot of thought on it. No wonder As soon as you break through, you will have such strength.”
Yuan Ming smiled but did not answer. Feng Qi and others took it as his acquiescence and said no more.
A few people tidied up the battlefield, and then Feng Qi stepped forward to check on Shaquanhua's situation.
"The remaining two Shaquan flowers should be within a few days of maturity. How about we wait here a little longer? We might as well pick them all back."
"This place is the territory of the Poison Knife Locust. Now that the monsters are all gone, there shouldn't be any other monsters coming again for a while. It won't matter if we wait for a few days." Fang Youting nodded.
"Okay." Yaxian spoke concisely and to the point as always.
However, Yuan Ming frowned slightly after hearing this. The Soul Burial Abyss was not a kind place. Although he was not afraid of the invasion of monsters, the black wind invaded this place from time to time. He really didn't want to encounter what happened when he first came to the Black Wind Desert. .
But before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed.
"Oh no, another monster is coming."
Everyone was shocked and quickly took out their magic weapons.
"Woo--"
At the same time, with a cry like a woman's cry, a gust of wind swept in from the sky, and the wind and waves stirred up the sand and dust. Yuan Ming and the other four immediately used the wind-avoiding technique to resist the wind and sand.
Then, a black bird fell from the sky. It was two people tall. Although it was covered with black feathers, there were pale patterns on its feathers like totems. Two bright yellow claws were like amber, and a sharp beak was shining.
On the head of the big bird, three pupils emitting bright red light were swollen like drums, but if you look closely, you can find that the blood-red whites are covered with human-shaped yellow silk like ghosts, and the orange-yellow pupil in the center is composed of screaming human faces.
"It's actually a three-eyed black pigeon?"
When Fang Youting saw the appearance of the big bird clearly, he exclaimed in surprise, with both fear and surprise in his voice.
"Three-eyed black pigeon? Fellow Daoist Fang, do you recognize this beast?" Yuan Ming asked.
Before Fang Youting could answer, he heard Feng Qi roar: "Don't care what it is, hurry up and attack. This is a level 3 peak monster. If you don't concentrate on dealing with it, we will reunite in its belly later!"
Before he finished speaking, he pinched the magic formula, and a green jade ruler flew out instantly.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming had to suppress his doubts and urged the white bone knife to chop the three-eyed black pigeon.
Yaxian took out three small yellow flags from the storage bag, pointed at the flags with both hands, and a yellow mist suddenly emerged from the flags, circling half a circle in the air, and then rolled up the dust and sand in the hole like a tornado, hitting the three-eyed black pigeon.
As for Fang Youting, he raised his hand and cast a spell on his magic weapon, the purple steel fork. In an instant, several purple thunderbolts shot out from the steel fork and hit the three-eyed black dove.
Facing the attack of Yuan Ming and the other four, the three-eyed black dove folded its wings to its side, and then suddenly opened them. Countless black feathers shot out from its wings like sharp arrows, hitting the emerald jade ruler and the white bone knife with a thunderclap, slowing down their momentum.
Then, the three-eyed black dove opened its beak and sprayed out seven or eight groups of gray fog. The fog seemed illusory, but it suddenly exploded when it hit the tornado summoned by Yaxian, turning into a gray high wall, blocking all the wind and sand.
But when it encountered the thunderbolt fired by Fang Youting, the gray fog was directly split apart, blocking it for only a moment, but it gave the three-eyed black dove an opportunity to spread its wings and fly, narrowly avoiding the thunderbolt.
The thunder from Fang Youting's magic weapon fell to the ground, leaving a burnt black mark with a strange purple halo. The three-eyed black dove looked at the burnt black mark and seemed to be a little afraid.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately shouted: "Fang Daoyou, I will help you hold it back, you take the opportunity to activate the magic weapon!"
After that, Yuan Ming pointed at the white bone knife, and countless pale bone fires suddenly emerged on it, rushing towards the three-eyed black dove.
At the same time, Yuan Ming's eyes condensed, and he secretly cast an illusion on the three-eyed black dove.
The three-eyed black dove was confused by Yuan Ming's illusion, and its body immediately paused, but at this moment, Yuan Ming saw the third eye on its forehead flash red, and then it actually got rid of the illusion directly, and the three eyes turned and locked Yuan Ming at the same time.
But just this moment of delay, the white bone fire had already rushed in front of the three-eyed black dove, it quickly spit out gray mist to block it, but it was still burned by the bone fire, and several pieces of ice appeared on its body surface.
At the same time, Fang Youting also used the magic weapon to send out thunder again. The three-eyed black dove spread its wings in a hurry to dodge, but was still hit by a thunderbolt. Its black feathers were instantly smashed off, revealing its burnt flesh and blood.
At this time, Feng Qi and Yaxian's attacks also came at the same time. The three-eyed black dove dodged in a panic, but gradually became powerless.
Seeing victory in sight, Feng Qi and others were all excited, and Fang Youting's eyes were shining, with a look of great surprise.
But at this moment, the three-eyed black dove suddenly called three times, gray mist gushed out of its mouth, and its body trembled at the same time, and black feathers all over its body shot out like a rainstorm, forcing Yuan Ming and the other four to temporarily give up the attack and cast a spell to defend.
Taking this opportunity, the three-eyed black dove turned around, flapped its wings, and drilled out of the hole without looking back, flying towards the depths of the Soul Burial Abyss.
"No, we can't let it run away!" Fang Youting said hurriedly, and then he wanted to immediately drive the light of escape to chase the three-eyed black dove.
"Fang Daoyou, don't chase a desperate enemy, and it went deep into the Soul Burial Abyss. What if it encounters other powerful monsters?" Yuan Ming was a little alert and dissuaded him.
"Yuan Daoyou, believe me, this is a three-eyed black dove, it is definitely worth chasing!" Fang Youting shook his head and flew out directly regardless of Yuan Ming's dissuasion.
