Chapter 1150 Black-Winged Mantis
A large area of dark swamp appeared in front of them, and the fishy smell was emanating from it.
"Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the miasma area, and there may be some poisonous insects and monsters in this swamp, so don't be careless." Elder Luo warned.
The Wu monk didn't say anything, but Xiao Lin nodded, and at the same time, he circulated his blood and qi, held his breath, and sealed all the pores and acupoints in his body.
This is also one of the abilities of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art. If Xiao Lin can cultivate it to the seventh level of the Mysterious Scale, he can even cultivate it to the Vajra Indestructible Limbs and reach the ultimate realm of the physical body.
Although the Wu monk didn't say anything, he didn't dare to be careless at all. He took out a magic pill from the star ring and stuffed it into his mouth. It was obviously a magic pill that could ward off poison.
After getting ready, the three began to search the island carefully.
Two hours later, the Wu monk showed a bit of impatience on his face.
"This island is thousands of miles in radius. Even if we only need to search one-third of the area, it is still two or three thousand miles in radius. At our current speed, it will take at least ten days and a half months to search it all. With such efficiency, the three-headed dragon turtle beast would have run away long ago."
"Oh? What better way does Elder Wu have?"
Hearing Elder Luo's question, a trace of pride flashed in the eyes of the monk surnamed Wu.
"I heard that Elder Luo raised ten black-winged mantises, which are ancient strange insects. Not only are they as fast as lightning, but they are also invulnerable to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and guns. Why not assign them to search ahead? This can not only prevent us from rushing in and being attacked by poisonous insects, but also greatly shorten the search time. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Elder Luo suddenly realized what this guy meant. It turned out that he wanted the spiritual insects he raised to be the vanguard.
These ten black-winged mantises were found by chance in the dense forest of an island in the sea when he was still a low-level cultivator. At that time, they were just ten insect eggs. After hundreds of years of cultivation, they have only reached the peak of the true level.
But if they are really released at the same time, they can basically match a cultivator in the early stage of the golden elixir.
However, Elder Luo was quite hesitant to let his ten black-winged mantises serve as the outpost. This is his treasure. Unless he encounters a life-and-death danger, he has never shown it to others easily. Moreover, few people in the business know about this.
This Wu Dafeng actually knows this?
Elder Luo understood it as soon as he thought about it. It was most likely that Lu Chengyin told him.
Seeing Elder Luo's hesitation, the cultivator surnamed Wu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why? Elder Luo is reluctant to give up just a few insects? Besides, this is a task assigned by the sect. If we fail to do our job well and Elder Lu reports us, then..."
"Elder Wu, there is no need to provoke me. Just do as you say."
Elder Luo's face changed slightly when he heard this. It was obvious that he couldn't bear the hat of failing to do his job well. He slapped a beast ring on his waist, and ten half-foot-long transparent mantises flashed with a few green lights.
These mantises are green all over. At first glance, they look like jade, very beautiful.
When the wings on its back flapped, only a trace of light gray was revealed, which is also the origin of its name.
When Xiao Lin saw this black-winged mantis, he couldn't help but think of his Soul Devouring Fire Gu. According to his estimation, it won't take too long for the Soul Devouring Fire Gu to reach the high level of the heaven level or even higher, and then it will be able to break through the interface and enter the spirit world.
As long as they enter the spirit world, he can sense them even if they are far away.
He had seen this black-winged mantis on the list of spirit insects before, ranking 79th, while the soul-devouring fire insect was ranked 11th. This does not mean that the black-winged mantis is much worse than the soul-devouring fire insect. This ranking usually refers to the ranking of the combat power of spirit insects at the same level.
As for the number, it is not the basis for its ranking. As all cultivators know, the spiritual insects raised mainly rely on the number. Once the number is up, the power they can exert is absolutely terrifying.
After releasing ten black-winged mantises, Elder Luo pinched the magic formula and gave them instructions.
With the sound of "buzzing", the ten black-winged mantises suddenly turned into ten green lights and shot into the thick fog. As for the poisonous miasma, spirit insects are usually not afraid of it, let alone the ancient spirit insects such as the black-winged mantis.
Seeing Elder Luo release the black-winged mantis, Wu Dafeng showed a satisfied expression.
"Follow me, Luo." Elder Luo glanced at Wu Dafeng, spoke, and then shot forward.
Xiao Lin and Wu Dafeng followed closely behind him.
Elder Luo was the only one who knew the specific location and search results of the ten black-winged mantises he released. In this way, it was equivalent to Elder Luo working alone, while Xiao Lin and Wu Dafeng were just followers.
Wu Dafeng was naturally happy with this.
In this way, the efficiency was indeed greatly increased. In just half a day, the search covered an area of almost a thousand miles.
Xiao Lin followed behind, feeling a little bored, but there was no better way. His sea of consciousness was sealed, and he could not use the power of his spiritual consciousness at all. With his spiritual eyes, he could only see a thousand feet ahead. Of course, this distance was far greater than that of Luo Xinhai and Wu Dafeng.
Suddenly, Elder Luo stopped, and Xiao Lin and the others saw from the side that his face looked a little ugly.
"Elder Luo, what happened?" Wu Dafeng asked hurriedly.
"My two black-winged mantises suddenly lost contact."
"Broken contact?" Xiao Lin and Wu Dafeng were both slightly stunned when they heard this.
Xiao Lin knew very well that there was only one possibility for the spiritual insects he raised to lose contact, that is, the two black-winged mantises were dead, otherwise, even if they were caught and imprisoned, they would not suddenly lose contact.
"Not good~~" Elder Luo suddenly exclaimed at this time, and then pinched the magic formula, and a moment later, several green lights flew from the front.
Xiao Lin saw in advance that there were originally ten black-winged mantises, but only five flew back, and behind these five, there were actually several black lights, each of which was several feet in size, and there were two balls of blood light flashing inside, which were obviously the eyes of the poisonous creatures inside.
Xiao Lin mobilized the magic power in his body and slowly poured it into his eyes, and immediately saw the poisonous creatures in the black light clearly.
It turned out to be several large lizards, but these large lizards were covered with fine black scales, with a mouth full of fangs, and four sharp claws gliding, flashing white blades.
More importantly, these large lizards each flapped their two crystal wings, flapping silently, but their speed was no slower than that of the black-winged mantises, closely following behind the black-winged mantises and rushing towards the few people.
"Is this the Feiming Five Poison Lizards?"
At this time, Elder Luo and Wu Dafeng also saw the appearance of the poisonous creatures in the black air rushing towards them, and Wu Dafeng couldn't help but exclaimed.
Almost without thinking, Elder Luo and Wu Dafeng each sacrificed their defensive magic weapons. Elder Luo sacrificed two green triangular shields, while Wu Dafeng sacrificed a huge oval shield.
Xiao Lin's Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique was also performed, and fine golden scales instantly floated on his body, and a layer of faint golden light enveloped it.
"Xiao Gongsheng, be careful. This flying five poisonous lizard is an ancient poisonous beast. It is extremely poisonous. Moreover, its scales are invulnerable to water and fire. It is difficult for magic weapons to penetrate it. Its strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle and late stages of the golden elixir. Moreover, this poisonous beast usually travels in groups. There may be more nearby. Be extra careful."
"Xiao understands. Thank you Elder Luo for reminding me."
Xiao Lin had just finished speaking when the five flying five poisonous lizards, after seeing the "food" suddenly disappear, immediately locked their eyes on the three people and pounced on them without hesitation.
Two of them pounced on Elder Luo, two pounced on Xiao Lin, and the remaining one pounced on Wu Dafeng.
When the five flying five poisonous lizards attacked the three people, they also began to spit out large amounts of poisonous fog from their mouths, covering a range of hundreds of feet.
Xiao Lin could even feel a sharp and cold breath outside his body constantly eroding his body-protecting golden light.
This made his heart sink slightly, knowing that the Flying Five Poisonous Lizards were not easy to deal with, seeing two big mouths flashing with cold white teeth biting towards him.
Xiao Lin's body flashed with golden light, and he retreated dozens of feet, and at the same time, he punched out two punches in succession.
Two huge golden fists flew out of the sky and hit the heads of the two Flying Five Poisonous Lizards directly.
"Boom boom~~" Two loud noises spread, and golden light and poisonous gas flew everywhere. The two Flying Five Poisonous Lizards only paused for a while, and their heads were a little dizzy.
Shaking their heads fiercely, they roared again and rushed towards Xiao Lin, and their speed suddenly increased by several points.
After testing, Xiao Lin was also quite surprised. The toughness of the body of the Flying Five Poisonous Lizards surprised him very much. He just used three-tenths of his strength, but he couldn't hurt these Flying Five Poisonous Lizards at all.
However, through testing, Xiao Lin also roughly understood the strength of the Flying Five Poisonous Lizards, which was probably between the middle and late stages of the Golden Core.
As long as he exerted 50% of his strength, he could still kill them easily.
At this time, Xiao Lin saw that Elder Luo was struggling to deal with two flying five poisonous lizards at the same time. Wu Dafeng had already led a flying five poisonous lizard to a distance, obviously not intending to help Elder Luo.
If this situation continued, Elder Luo might not be able to hold on for long.
But he didn't want Wu Dafeng to see his strength. After thinking about it, Xiao Lin made a decision in his heart.
Xiao Lin first used the sound transmission technique to let Elder Luo hold on for a moment.
He led the two flying five poisonous lizards to the dense forest on one side. The two flying five poisonous lizards naturally didn't know Xiao Lin's conspiracy and followed him to the dense forest.
Elder Luo also knew Xiao Lin's idea, so he naturally tried his best to resist the crazy attacks of the two flying five poisonous lizards.
In the dense forest
Xiao Lin had been waiting quietly for a long time, and saw two flying five poisonous lizards on the left and right, opening their mouths full of fangs and rushing towards him.
Xiao Lin sneered, and the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Art was instantly activated to 50%. A sharp golden light flashed out, and Xiao Lin's right fist instantly punched out four times.
Four golden lights flashed out and instantly hit the foreheads of the two flying dark five poisonous lizards.
This time, it was different from the previous time. The two flying dark five poisonous lizards had never thought that the human in front of them would become several times more powerful in an instant. With two "wailings", the two golden lights directly knocked the two flying dark five poisonous lizards away.
The scales on their heads also shattered, and the two golden lights that followed flashed away.
The two screams only lasted for a moment and stopped abruptly.
I saw a blood hole on the foreheads of the two flying dark five poisonous lizards, and the remaining golden halo was still flashing around the blood hole.
Seeing that Xiao Lin had dealt with the two poisonous creatures, he was about to return to assist Elder Luo, when he suddenly heard a scream coming from outside the forest.
"not good."
Xiao Lin's expression changed, and he immediately recognized that the scream came from Elder Luo.
A golden light flashed away, and Xiao Lin shot it in the direction of Elder Luo without hesitation.
As soon as he flew out of the dense forest, Xiao Lin saw Wu Dafeng with a sinister smile on his face. The long sword surrounding him was dripping with blood, and Elder Luo's right arm had been cut off to the ground.
He was offering up two triangular shields and a snow-white long knife, struggling to support the attacks of the two flying underworld lizards.
"Wu Dafeng, you unexpectedly attacked Luo from the side. Have you forgotten the rules of our business?" Elder Luo turned pale, gritted his teeth, and scolded Wu Dafeng.
He thought that Lu Chengyin would set up obstacles for him, or even conspire to assassinate him, but he never expected that Wu Dafeng would be sent to sneak attack directly from the side. You must know that this is a serious crime of killing fellow sect members, and they will also be killed in the trading firm. Of the soul.
Moreover, the core elders will personally execute it, so there is no chance of escaping.
"Luo Xinhai, who made you offend Elder Lu and gave him a chance? Elder Lu will not let you go. You should die slowly now, haha."
"Xiao Gongfeng, this person actually made a sneak attack while Luo was dealing with two poisonous beasts. You must be careful."
"Hey, high-level body refiner? It is rumored that you can resist the attacks of Nascent Soul cultivators without dying, but today Wu wants to see how long you can last under Wu in the late Jindan stage?"
"Eh? Where are those two Feiming Five-Damosaic Lizards? Could it be that you got rid of them too? It seems that Wu still looks down on you." Suddenly he realized that two Feiming Five-Dammel Lizards had also chased Xiao Lin earlier. , and this person actually returned here intact, and the two Feiming Five Monster Lizards were also missing.
Apparently, like himself, he used a secret method to throw away the two Flying Five Monster Lizards.
Xiao Lin didn't expect that Wu Dafeng was so cruel that he dared to kill his own sect. This was something he missed, so he didn't hesitate at all. With a flash of golden light on his body, he shot towards Wu Dafeng at a fast speed. To the extreme.
As soon as Wu Dafeng reacted, Xiao Lin's fist was already in front of him.
This shocked him, and for the first time in his life, there was a trace of fear in his heart. As soon as he thought, the thick shield flashed out, blocking Xiao Lin's fist before it hit his chest.
Wu Dafeng was relieved.
Unfortunately, before he could completely relax, there was a "click" sound in his ears.
