Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

More than 20,000 miles is not too far for cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage or above.

Before long, the group approached their destination, and a rolling green line appeared in sight from afar.

When you get closer, you can see clearly that the green line is clearly a large area of ​​hazy fog, and you can vaguely see the colorful miasma inside.

Ye Ming's escape light paused slightly, and he flipped his hand. Suddenly, a specially made magic disk appeared in his hand. He lightly tapped his finger, and the magic disk immediately lit up with a layer of red light.

The seven people following behind him also slowed down their escape speed, took out the same magic disk and started casting spells.

This item is called "Alien Spirit Disk". It is a magical tool specially configured by Tianyuan City for every patrol guard. It can sense the presence of aliens within a certain distance.

However, this plate can generally only sense a certain direction, and if it encounters an alien race with special magical powers, it may not be effective.

But when so many people use this plate together, each pointing it in one direction to monitor all directions, it is usually relatively safe.

Therefore, Ye Ming and others took out this magic weapon, slowed down their escape light, and carefully entered the fog.

Not long after, all the people disappeared without a trace.

For some unknown reason, as soon as they entered the swamp, Ye Ming and the others' spiritual power was greatly restricted and could only be about a hundred feet away from the body.

Moreover, if you look at the green mist for a long time, you will produce many strange illusions.

Ye Ming was in the center of the team, holding a spirit disk in his hand, carefully sensing whether there was any alien aura around him.

At the same time, he released all his spiritual sense, and his eyes flashed a blue light from time to time, paying close attention to any movement around him.

The others were flying at low altitude within a few dozen feet of him, not daring to disperse too far. And like Ye Ming, everyone held a spirit disk in their hands, sensing the aura meticulously.

Because they were on patrol missions and had to keep an eye out for traces of alien races, they could not fly too high and could only move slowly at low altitude.

After more than ten days, we didn't encounter any danger.

But after concentrating on patrolling for many days, everyone was a little tired, but they did not dare to relax for a moment.

That day, when everyone was flying over a muddy field that emitted a foul smell, suddenly, a low "buzzing" sound came into their ears.

Immediately, more than a thousand strange insects half the length of a finger suddenly flew up from the surface of the muddy water stains.

These strange insects were covered with a layer of shiny black shells. They gathered slightly in the air, and silver spiritual patterns lit up on their backs. Then they all shot out, like thousands of black arrows, shooting towards Wei Shan who was flying in the front.

"Oh no, it's lice!" Wei Shan, who was flying in the front, turned pale, let out a strange cry, and turned and ran without hesitation.

At the same time, he hurriedly threw behind him various magic weapons and talismans, including a bronze bell, a tortoise shell shield, etc.

The flying louse's escape speed was incredible and it hit the bronze bell in an instant. There was a series of crisp "clang clang clang" sounds, and the treasure was riddled with holes in an instant and was scrapped on the spot.

Then, the louse worm hit the tortoise shell shield. After the shield burst into a dazzling green light, the louse worm's speed was slowed down.

But then, these strange insects crawled onto the surface of the turtle shield's spiritual light, inserted their long, straw-like mouthparts into it, and began to suck the spiritual light frantically.

In just a moment, the spiritual light on the surface of the tortoise shell quickly dimmed, and it became unstable with a creaking sound. …

Fortunately, the various talismans he threw out finally burst out with powerful power at this time. All kinds of five elements spells such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning were mixed together and bombarded these strange insects, making a loud "boom" sound, the sound was quite terrifying.

However, the bodies of these black beetles were extremely hard. After so many attacks, only dozens of them were killed. Compared with the number of more than a thousand, it was not worth mentioning at all.

It’s a long story to describe all of the above, but it happened in an instant.

Seeing that the shield was about to be bitten through, Wei Shan didn't know whether Ye Ming, the new captain, would be able to save him in time. A strong feeling of despair immediately surged into his heart.

After a moment of despair, Wei Shan's face suddenly turned ruthless. He turned around and faced the swarm of insects, then cast a spell, obviously wanting to bite off a piece of flesh from the swarm of insects before he died.

However, at this moment, an astonishing scene suddenly appeared before his eyes. A silver firebird flew over from not far away, and suddenly turned into a large silver sea of ​​fire, enveloping him and the many flying insects that were still absorbing the shield's spiritual light.

An extreme chill came over him, and Wei Shan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, his whole body trembling.

The movements of those strange insects absorbing the spiritual light suddenly slowed down, and then they seemed to be frozen in time, frozen in the air.

Then the silver sea of ​​fire suddenly rolled over, and the silver flame instantly changed from being extremely cold to extremely hot, burning the surrounding air to the point of distorting it.

Under the alternating baking of extreme cold and extreme heat, more than a thousand strange insects suddenly shattered with a "crack, crack" sound, and then turned into powder.

It was actually burned into ashes in an instant due to thermal expansion and contraction!

It turned out that Ye Ming released the Taiyin True Fire, which wiped it out in a flash.

Seeing the lice that almost bit him to death being killed so easily, Wei Shan was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he immediately turned around and saluted respectfully towards Ye Ming, saying:
"Thank you Captain Ye for saving my life. I will never forget it!"

"Well, you seem to recognize this strange insect, but I don't see you have any targeted means to defend against it. Could it be that this insect has never appeared in the Undead Swamp before?" Ye Ming asked after nodding slightly.

"Captain, this leafhopper is a rare and vicious insect in the wilderness. It has excellent hiding skills, extremely fast escape speed, and extremely powerful attack ability, making it difficult to defend against.

It had previously migrated to other swamps, such as the Fuli Swamp, but has never been seen in the Dead Swamp. It seems that it is a new migration."

Wei Shan replied while secretly cursing his bad luck.

"I see. Since they are fleeing from the wilderness, there are probably more than just this group. Be careful on the rest of the journey, and don't get too far away from me."

Ye Ming secretly expanded his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings several times, and found nothing unusual, so he made arrangements.

"We understand." Jiang Han patted his chest and said with a frightened look on his face.

At the same time, the others moved closer to Ye Ming.

After Ye Ming glanced around again, he continued forward with the seven people.

Not long after Ye Ming and others left, there was new movement in the originally silent swamp.

Suddenly, two green shadows emerged in a low-lying muddy area.

The shadow was less than three feet tall and so green that no entity could be seen.

Suddenly, one of the shadows spoke: "Xing Yi, what do you think of this person?"

"This person has a very strong spiritual consciousness. I estimate that if I want to possess him, there is an 80% chance that I will fail." Another shadow said slowly after careful consideration.

"It's just as I thought. This is going to be difficult. We have a mission to accomplish. We must blend into the human race as soon as possible and get in touch with Shadow Blade. However, there are too few humans in this area recently. Apart from these few people, no one has arrived for several days."

"But acting rashly is not a wise choice."

"We can't worry about so much. If we delay any longer, our mission will fail and we'll miss out on important things. It doesn't matter if we're discovered. The worst that can happen is we'll have a big fight with this guy. With the strength of the two of us, do we really need to be afraid of a human in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation? As long as we do things cleanly and kill everyone except the possessed person, we can still sneak into Tianyuan City without being discovered." The shadow who spoke just now said gritting his teeth.

"Well... okay, you are in charge of this mission, and I will cooperate with you. In fact, I think those flying insects are pretty good. I remember when we came here, we also found these vicious insects in several other places. We can lure them over here, and then..."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Besides, we can also..."

The voices of the two shadows discussing became quieter and quieter.

After a while, the swamp returned to its former tranquility.
