Chapter 487: Little Flower Branch Clone
Yuan Ming was also in a bad situation, being entangled by several blue monster bulls.
The two monster bulls opened their mouths to suck, and two suction forces enveloped his body.
Yuan Ming had already severed his connection with Lei Yu at this moment. Lei Yu was not Hua Zhi. When he fought with Huan Lingzi before, he only came out for a moment and was still poisoned. At this moment, he was refining the poison in the spirit beast bag.
Without the help of Lei Yu's demonic power, his strength in magic cultivation was greatly reduced, and he flew backwards involuntarily.
Several other monster bulls pounced on him, and their thick and sharp horns pierced his body.
"Master, be careful!" Hua Zhi screamed.
Yuan Ming was not in a hurry, and offered a small silver flag.
In the bright silver light, the flag grew larger in the wind and turned into a huge silver flag, wrapping around him.
The horns of the blue monster bull pierced the silver flag, making a hoarse friction sound, and immediately moved to the side, without hurting Yuan Ming.
However, Yuan Ming was also repelled backwards with the flag, and more monster bulls surrounded him.
Yuan Ming didn't care too much. His soul power was spinning in his sea of consciousness. While everyone was not paying attention, he shot a crow sound wave from his forehead and hit the nearby strange cow.
But the next moment, a scene that surprised him appeared.
The black sound wave penetrated into the body of the strange cow, and the strange cow's actions did not change at all, not even a moment of pause and stiffness.
Yuan Ming couldn't believe it. With his current strong soul, the crow illusion he cast would affect even the Nascent Soul cultivator or soul cultivator of the same level, but these blue strange cows seemed to be fine.
"Be careful, these strange cows have no soul, your illusion has no effect on them!" Xiying suddenly reminded in the sea of consciousness.
Yuan Ming also discovered this. There was no soul fluctuation on these strange cows, just like puppets.
"They are extremely powerful, and can recover immediately after being injured. They are not afraid of attacks from the soul. It seems that these strange bulls are undoubtedly star beasts. No wonder Lu Changkong said that they can't deal with these things at all and can only escape!" Yuan Ming waved the thunder hammer with a solemn face and had a head-on confrontation with a star beast.
The star beast's head was half broken, but Yuan Ming was also blown away, but he also happened to get rid of the encirclement formed by several strange bulls.
"Everyone, these strange bulls are probably the star beasts mentioned by Elder Lu. If you can't fight them, you should work together to repel them first, and then run away separately!" Yuan Ming shouted loudly, and used his magic power to inject it into the thunder hammer, and the thunder and lightning power accumulated in the thunder hammer was also released.
Dozens of lightning like tree branches bloomed, forming a thunder forest, falling in the star beast herd, and each lightning exuded a terrifying breath.
Thunders exploded one after another, and large charred pits were blasted out on the ground, and more than a dozen strange bulls were knocked out.
Long Chong held the magic spear in front of him, closed his eyes slightly, chanted the spell, crossed his arms, and formed a strange seal with his hands. The magic power of his body was gathered on the spear through the seal. At the same time, the cold dragon beside him opened his mouth and spit out cold air, which made the spear covered with a thick layer of frost.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a white aura suddenly burst out from the spear in front of him. The next moment, it was like a javelin, shooting towards the herd of cattle.
The frost spear arrived in an instant, directly piercing through the bodies of the three starry sky monster cows, freezing them into ice sculptures.
Then, the body of the monster cow suddenly exploded, turning into countless ice cones and shooting at the companions around him, piercing into their bodies with piercing cold air, dyeing half of the body white.
Others also took action, and ice blades and lightning hit the herd of cattle.
Nearly half of the starry sky monster cows were knocked away, and the herd of cattle was in chaos.
Everyone hurriedly took the opportunity to get rid of the starry sky monster cows and fled in different places.
The duck that was about to be caught flew away, and the starry sky monster bull was furious and immediately chased after it.
After everyone finally escaped, they ignored the poisonous fog in the swamp and fled at full speed, leaving the starry sky monster bull behind for a distance.
Yuan Ming was one of the fastest runners. The sky above the swamp was covered with poisonous clouds, so he could only fly at a low altitude.
Yuan Ming used the Golden Sunflower Taming Beast Technique and merged it with the flower branch's magic power. His magic power was raised to the late stage of Jindan, and he flew forward using the Ghost Shadow Escape Technique.
Although he had not yet cultivated this escape technique to a high level, with the magic power of the late stage of Jindan as the foundation, he was still much faster than others. He soon left the monster bulls chasing behind far behind, and could only see a little shadow.
Yuan Ming pushed his speed to the extreme, ready to completely leave the starry sky monster bulls behind.
At this moment, the poisonous clouds above suddenly dispersed, and countless starlight fell down, and it actually started to rain stars.
The starry sky monster bulls behind them shouted excitedly, and bursts of starlight appeared on their bodies. They greedily absorbed the falling starlight, and their running speed increased a lot.
"It's raining stars at this time..." Yuan Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he used a shield magic weapon to resist the star rain, and his escape speed was greatly slowed down.
As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.
Yuan Ming's brain raced, thinking about a countermeasure.
"Master, I'm fine." Lei Yu's voice came from the spirit beast bag.
Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and immediately summoned Lei Yu and landed on his back.
The defense range of the shield magic weapon expanded several times, protecting Lei Yu, but the speed of being eroded by the starlight also increased greatly.
Yuan Ming didn't care. He had seized many magic weapons in the battle of Shura Palace, so it didn't matter if he lost a few.
"Master, it may not be safe to rely on Lei Yu alone. I will also help to contain these star beasts from underground to buy you some time." Hua Zhi saw that Yuan Ming was increasingly relying on Lei Yu, and seemed to be afraid of being ignored, so he volunteered.
"These star beasts don't have the ability to burrow underground. It is indeed feasible for you to attack from underground, but it is raining stars outside, which will cause considerable damage to you." Yuan Ming thought for a while and said.
"Master, don't worry about this. My most powerful ability is regeneration. At most, I will lose some vitality." Hua Zhi said.
"Then you have to work hard for a while, don't hold on. If the situation is not right, burrow underground and escape immediately." Yuan Ming said.
Hua Zhi nodded, and a green light flashed on his body. His body was actually split into two, splitting into a slightly smaller Hua Zhi.
"This clone ability?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.
"Well, after I broke through the third level, my ability to split my body became more and more sophisticated. I recently realized this clone ability. This clone contains some of my demonic power and can resist the poisonous fog for you for a while." Hua Zhi said.
After saying this, Huazhi flew down and sank into the ground.
Yuan Ming sensed Huazhi's situation through the consciousness of the first soul. The star rain penetrated into the ground and was still not spared deep underground.
However, Huazhi's super regeneration ability took effect and immediately repaired the damage, but the demon power was constantly consumed.
Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and used the Golden Sunflower Beast Taming Technique to merge with the demon power of Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm's wings shot out arcs of electricity, turning into a lightning shadow and shooting forward, several times faster than before, and disappeared in the mist in the blink of an eye.
"Roar..." The several starry sky monster bulls behind were shocked and angry, and hurriedly chased after them.
At this moment, dozens of purple-black vines broke out of the ground and entangled the legs and feet of the monster bulls.
The starry sky monster bulls immediately struggled hard. These monster bulls were extremely powerful and quickly tore the vines apart and cleaned them up.
However, Huazhi underground used the same trick again, using waves of vines to attack, successfully dragging several strange cows in place, unable to move forward.
Several starry sky strange cows were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Yuan Ming flew forward for an incense stick, completely getting rid of the starry sky strange cows' pursuit, and then stopped. The star rain also slowly stopped at this moment.
He put the thunderstorm into the spirit beast bag, and sent a message to Huazhi about meeting up, then floated in the air, waiting quietly.
A quarter of an hour later, the ground under his feet suddenly cracked, and Huazhi emerged.
"Master! I'm back!"
Yuan Ming asked: "Thank you for your hard work. Did you get into trouble?"
"No, those stupid cows were very stupid. They only knew that there were vines blocking the way, but they didn't know that I cast them. In the end, they didn't find my position. After a stalemate for a while, the stupid cows gave up chasing and returned the same way." Huazhi said.
Yuan Ming nodded. Were the starry sky beasts alarmed by us? Or did they come here specifically?
He pondered for a moment, but still could not come to a conclusion.
"Hey, your demon power is not weakened? It is intact and can resist the erosion of the star rain?" Yuan Ming suddenly found Huazhi's abnormality and asked in surprise.
He used the first soul to check Huazhi's side before, and the star rain did cause considerable damage to it.
"Of course not, this damn star rain made me lose one-third of my demon power, but on the way here just now, I encountered a level 3 lizard monster, and I killed it and swallowed the demon power to recover." Huazhi said.
Yuan Ming suddenly realized and envied Huazhi's swallowing ability.
"The complete version of the Golden Sunflower Taming Beast Technique, I must get it!" He secretly clenched his fist.
"Speaking of this, Master, when I killed that lizard monster, I encountered a strange place, do you want to go and see it?" Huazhi suddenly said.
"Where?" Yuan Ming looked over.
"It seems to be a pool of water, surrounded by extremely dense poisonous fog, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also very dense, as if there are some natural treasures hidden there. I wanted to go in and find out, but I felt dizzy as soon as I approached, and I quickly retreated." Hua Zhi said with lingering fear.
"Is this really the case?" Yuan Ming was aroused with curiosity and asked Hua Zhi to lead the way.
The two arrived there soon. The dense poisonous fog formed a thick fog wall, blocking the way ahead, and there was a faint sound of flowing water.
Yuan Ming showed a look of surprise. The suppression of the spiritual consciousness here was extremely strong. His original spiritual consciousness could only spread out ten feet.
He dropped the spiritual consciousness of the first soul and explored the situation here, and soon gained something.
There are a lot of mineral veins buried underground here, which is richer than other places. The effect of the natural magic array will be enhanced to this extent.
Hua Zhi suddenly felt dizzy when she came here, which was also the effect of the natural magic array becoming stronger.
As for the situation behind the fog wall, Yuan Ming also explored it clearly. It was indeed a pool of water, but the water was purple-black, and occasionally a sticky bubble emerged. It was completely a poisonous pool, and the nearby ground was also infected with a pitch-black color.
In the depths of the pool, there was a purple lizard with a five-colored fleshy crown on its head, which looked like a bloated rooster.
Although the lizard monster was ugly, it was very powerful. It had reached the peak of level three, which seemed to be better than the three-eyed black pigeon, and was only half a step away from level four.
This lizard crouched on a purple object that was several feet in size and round and smooth. There were large pieces of monster bones scattered nearby. I don’t know if they were eaten by the lizard monster.
The purple object looked like a round jade, but it had breathing. Its body slowly expanded and contracted with breathing. It was actually a living thing.
(Dear fellow Taoists, Wang Yu has revised the first two chapters, you can go and have a look.)
