The gray-robed man let out an unwilling roar, and his body exploded in the air, turning into a bloody rain.

Those corpse puppets lost control and fell to the bottom of the Nether Cliff.

"Phew, it's over."

Jiang Qiong killed the man in gray robe and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the gray-robed man turned into a blood rain that fell like thick ink on the forest ravaged by war. The fishy and sweet stench mixed with the smell of scorched earth was like an invisible hand, tightly strangling Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu's throats.

Jiang Qiong knelt on one knee, with the black iron battle axe in his hand deeply inserted into the soil, supporting his shaky body.

Sweat slid down his resolute cheeks, mixed with blood, leaving hideous marks on his face.

Yun Shu was leaning against a cold icy tree, blood gushing out from the wound on her left shoulder, soaking through her originally snow-white clothes and staining the fabric with enchanting red plum blossoms.

The two people's gazes met in the air through the blood mist and gunpowder smoke.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were filled with relief at surviving the disaster, as well as a hint of barely perceptible worry; Yun Shu's eyes seemed slightly tired, but also sparkled with the joy of being reborn.

They all knew that if they had not cooperated well in the fierce battle with the gray-robed man, they would have died long ago.

However, before they could recover from the aftermath of this life-and-death battle, an even stranger and more dangerous aura was quietly approaching from all directions.

"Let's go. We shouldn't stay here for long." Jiang Qiong said in a hoarse voice, with fatigue that was hard to conceal.

He struggled to stand up, and every movement seemed to cause pain all over his body.

Yun Shu nodded slightly, endured the severe pain from his left shoulder, supported himself on the ice tree with both hands, and slowly stood up.

Just as she was about to take a step, a chilling buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky, as if the devil from the Nether Hell was roaring.

The originally calm air began to twist like boiling water, and countless tiny spiritual energy whirlpools appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

These whirlpools are like miniature black holes, madly devouring everything around them.

Leaves, dust, and even the free spiritual energy in the air were greedily absorbed by them.

The vortex grew larger and larger, attracting and merging each other, the fluctuation of spiritual energy became stronger and stronger, and the entire space began to vibrate violently.

The phosphorescent threads in the forest flickered wildly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if they were afraid of the terrifying existence that was about to come.

The skeletons of the monsters lying on the ground began to tremble slightly, as if an invisible force was awakening their sleeping souls.

Gray-black clouds gathered in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a huge monster with its bloody mouth open.

Purple lightning kept flashing through the clouds, making loud "crackling" sounds. Each bolt of lightning seemed like the wrath of God, ready to split the earth into pieces.

The clouds were getting lower and lower, closer to the ground, and the pressure in the air was increasing rapidly. Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu felt as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on their chests, and breathing became difficult.

"This...what's going on?" Yun Shu's face was as pale as paper. He looked at the sky in horror, his eyes full of anxiety and fear.

Jiang Qiong clenched the battle axe in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, and looked around vigilantly: "Be careful, this spiritual energy riot is definitely not ordinary!"

Just as he finished speaking, a huge tornado formed not far away. The wind column was hundreds of feet high, like an angry dragon, rushing straight into the sky with bared fangs and claws.

Wherever the tornado passed, trees were uprooted, and huge tree trunks rolled and collided in the air, making a deafening sound;

The hard rocks were crushed into powder and blown away by the wind. Then, more tornadoes appeared one after another, wreaking havoc in the forest.

These tornadoes seemed to be endowed with life and moved consciously towards the location where Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu were.

The howling wind was like countless sharp blades, making it impossible for the two men to open their eyes.

Jiang Qiong quickly protected Yun Shu behind him, circulated all his spiritual power, and formed a shield around him that flashed with a faint blue light.

The runes on the shield flowed, emitting a mysterious aura, as if it was an indestructible barrier.

However, the power of this violent storm is far beyond imagination.

The strong wind was like an invisible giant hand, beating the shield wildly.

Under the impact of the strong wind, cracks continued to appear on the shield, and those cracks spread rapidly like spider webs.

Jiang Qiong only felt a powerful force passing into his body through the shield, shaking his internal organs and causing a trace of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Yun Shu also endured the pain and drew out the soft sword from his waist.

The soft sword was red all over, and the sword body was engraved with ancient patterns, as if it contained endless power.

She injected her spiritual power into the sword, and red sword energy immediately gushed out from the tip of the sword, merging with Jiang Qiong's shield and temporarily resisting the invasion of the storm.

But the power of the storm continued to grow, and the clouds in the sky had completely turned dark purple, as if it was an ocean stained with blood.

A huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, carrying the power to destroy the world, and struck straight towards the two of them.

Jiang Qiong shouted loudly and swung his battle axe to meet the lightning. The Soul Devouring Blade on the battle axe absorbed the power of lightning crazily, and the blade flashed with dazzling light.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more lightning came, like a torrential rain.

At the same time, a tornado was approaching, and the strong wind carried lightning, rubble and tree branches, like a ferocious beast, pouncing towards the two with bared fangs and claws.

Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu's defenses seemed vulnerable in the face of this powerful force, and their shields were shattered in an instant.

The two were blown away by the powerful force and fell towards the Nether Cliff.

During the fall, Jiang Qiong held Yun Shu's hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and worry.

He tried to find somewhere to gain leverage, but the wind was howling and everything around him was rapidly moving backwards, making it impossible for him to stabilize his body.

"Ah——" The two people's exclamations were drowned out by the strong wind.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud bang and the two men fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff.

Jiang Qiong only felt severe pain all over his body, as if every bone was about to break. There was a piercing pain in his right leg, which was obviously a fracture.

Yun Shu wasn't feeling well either. His left arm was broken, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was as pale as paper.

Fortunately, both of them had magical treasures to protect them, so their lives were not in danger.

After a long while, Jiang Qiong forced himself to sit up and looked around.

It was dark here, but there was a strange light.

They were surrounded by steep rock walls covered with black moss. The moss emitted a faint fluorescence that flickered in the darkness, as if countless pairs of strange eyes were spying on them.

Suddenly, a bright color not far away caught Jiang Qiong's attention. It was a fruit forest with trees full of colorful fruits.

The surface of these fruits has fine scales, like snake scales, flashing colorful light in the dim environment. They are the legendary snake scale colorful fruit.

Each fruit was full and round, exuding an alluring fragrance, as if it contained endless spiritual energy. "It's the snake scale seven-color fruit!" Yun Shu also saw it, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

But before the two of them could take any action, a loud noise came from the orchard.

The ground began to shake, as if a sleeping beast was waking up.

A huge scorpion monster slowly walked out. This scorpion was a hundred feet long, with a dark black shell that was as hard as steel.

Its tail was raised high, and its tail stinger was flashing a blue-purple light, which was obviously poisonous.

The scorpion's eight eyes emitted a cold light, staring at Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu, as if they were prey about to be devoured.

Jiang Qiong clenched his axe and stood up with difficulty. Although the severe pain from the fracture of his right leg surged like a tide, there was no fear in his eyes: "Yun Shu, be careful of the poisonous sting of this monster!"

Yun Shu nodded and drew out her soft sword. The red sword energy was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, like a burning flame, illuminating her resolute face.

The scorpion monster attacked first, and with a wave of its huge pincers, it brought a strong wind and clamped towards Jiang Qiong. The strong wind was like a blade, scraping Jiang Qiong's face painfully.

Jiang Qiong dodged sideways and chopped the scorpion's pincers with the battle axe. With a "clang" sound, sparks flew, but only a shallow mark was left on the pincers.

Yun Shu took the opportunity to attack from the side and stabbed the scorpion's abdomen with his soft sword, but the scorpion reacted extremely quickly and the stinger on its tail instantly stabbed Yun Shu.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong ignored his own injuries, flew in front of Yun Shu, and swung his battle axe to block the poisonous sting.

The powerful impact still made him fly backwards and fall to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The scorpion monster took advantage of the situation and moved quickly, forcing the two men to the edge of the rock wall.

Every time it moves, the ground shakes as if there is an earthquake.

Yun Shu gritted his teeth, quickly waved the soft sword in his hand, and unleashed the "Frosty Sky Sword Rain".

Countless ice swords flew out from the tip of the sword and shot towards the scorpion.

Those ice swords flashed with cold light and drew graceful arcs in the air.

Jiang Qiong also struggled to stand up and injected spiritual power into the battle axe. The Seven Star True Fire burned on the axe blade, and the dark blue blade light and ice sword attacked the scorpion together.

The dark blue blade light was like a nimble dragon, coordinating with the ice sword with great momentum.

The scorpion monster let out an angry roar, and its shell suddenly sprouted spikes that blocked all the ice swords.

Its tail was raised high, and countless blue-purple poisonous needles shot towards the two people like raindrops.

Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu quickly cast defensive spells, but there were too many poison needles and many of them broke through their defenses and stabbed into their bodies.
The two of them only felt a sense of numbness, as if all the strength in their bodies was being drained away.

They knew they couldn't go on like this and had to find the scorpion's weakness as soon as possible.

Jiang Qiong concentrated his attention and carefully observed the scorpion's weaknesses, and found that its eyes and abdomen were relatively weak.

He winked at Yunshu, who understood.

Jiang Qiong swung his battle axe and continued to attack, attracting the scorpion's attention.

Each of his attacks was powerful, and the axe blade collided with the scorpion's shell, making a deafening sound.

Yun Shu went behind the scorpion, looking for an opportunity.

Her steps were light, like a nimble cat, moving cautiously in the dark.

When the scorpion attacked Jiang Qiong with its pincers again, Yun Shu seized the opportunity, flew up, and pointed the soft sword directly at one of the scorpion's eyes.

With a "puff" sound, the tip of the sword pierced into the scorpion's eyes. The scorpion roared in pain and struggled frantically.

Its huge body rolled on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to rush towards the scorpion's abdomen, injected all his spiritual power into the battle axe, and chopped it down fiercely.

With a "bang", a huge wound was split open on the scorpion's abdomen, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The scorpion monster struggled for a few times, and finally fell to the ground, without a breath.

Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu collapsed on the ground, covered in wounds and poisoned.

Their clothes were tattered and stained with blood and dust.

But they had no time to rest and forced themselves to walk to the snake-scale colorful fruit tree and pick a few fruits.

When the fruit is taken in mouth, a cool feeling spreads throughout the body, and the pain and toxins in the body quickly subside.

The pain seemed to be healed by a mysterious force, and the toxins were quickly dissolved.

After eating a few fruits, the two felt that their strength had been restored a lot.

Jiang Qiong looked at the scorpion monster on the ground and said with a smile, "Such a big scorpion cannot be wasted." So, the two of them found some dry firewood nearby and lit a bonfire.

The flames danced in the darkness, illuminating their tired but relieved faces.

They cut off the flesh of the scorpion monster and roasted it over the fire.

The aroma of barbecue gradually spread, dispelling some of the gloomy atmosphere under the Nether Cliff.

The two of them ate barbecue while recovering their strength. No one knew what kind of adventures were waiting for them at the foot of this Netherworld Cliff.

Sparks from the campfire danced in the darkness. Jiang Qiong used a branch to poke the scorpion meat on the fire. The fat dripped into the fire, and wisps of green smoke rose up.

Yun Shu leaned against the rock wall, her fingertips gently stroking the ancient patterns on the soft sword. After being healed by the snake scale colorful fruit, the wound on her shoulder had scabbed over, but she still felt a dull pain and numbness in her left arm.

"I'm afraid this bloody smell will attract a lot of things."

Jiang Qiong suddenly spoke, his battle axe leaning against his side, his Soul-Devouring Sword glowing dark red in the firelight, as if he was still savoring the previous fight.

Yun Shu looked up at the narrow patch of sky above his head. The dark purple clouds were still rolling, with occasional flashes of blue lightning flashing between the gaps in the clouds.

She pulled off a corner of her clothes and tied her hair up casually: "Rest for another half an hour, and then set off when your wound is almost healed."

Before he finished his words, the black moss on the rock wall suddenly emitted a faint light collectively, like a swarm of startled fireflies.

The two men stood up at the same time. Jiang Qiong picked up the battle axe, and Yun Shu's soft sword was already unsheathed. The red sword energy drew a half moon in the darkness.

There was a slight rustling sound in the air, like the scales of some creature rubbing against each other.

Jiang Qiong's eyes were as sharp as torches, locking onto the direction of the sound source - in the depression of the rock wall in the distance, a pair of eyes emitting scarlet light were moving slowly.

"It's a blood-eyed spider, three-eyed level." Yun Shu lowered his voice, and a layer of frost mist appeared on the soft sword.

This monster usually lives alone in damp and dark places. The three-eye level means that it has cultivated intelligence. The silk it spits is not only extremely tough, but also contains paralyzing toxins. (End of this chapter)
