Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

If the worm's physical fitness was slightly worse, the energy exploding in its body might have blown it in two. However, this kind of worm has extremely strong vitality, and being cut in half is not a fatal injury.

But its skin was too thick, and the explosion inside the body did not tear open the skin in the first place. This was not good news.

The raging spiritual energy, with nowhere to go, could only look for an easier breakthrough point, so the worm's soft internal organs suffered directly.

To be fair, the worm's internal organs are not actually that fragile, but in the face of the terrifying eruption of spiritual energy, these not-so-fragile internal organs are just like air.

Moreover, the spiritual energy that was wreaking havoc in its body was of water attribute, which was extremely poisonous to the worm.

The combination of these factors made Qian Lin's arrow unexpectedly effective. Although the worm finally relied on its completely unreasonable physical fitness to withstand the internal spiritual energy explosion, after resisting this attack, it lay directly on the ground, unable to fight again.

Qian Lin would certainly not give this disgusting bug another chance. When it fell to the ground seriously injured, he flew directly to the top of the bug and chopped it into bug sauce with the Wan Qian Ling Sword.

After neatly cutting off the possibility of the insect surviving, Qian Lin turned his head to look at Geng Hui, who had a puzzled expression on his face. "What's that look in your eyes? Do you think I stole your prey?"

Geng Hui immediately shook his head. He had no objection to this. It was Qian Lin who seriously injured Chongzi, so it didn't matter if Qian Lin took the last head.

He was surprised at Qian Lin's fighting ability. In his impression, the cultivators of Hehuan Valley were not that powerful. They were basically at the same level of fighting ability.

But the black-haired girl in front of him was completely different. The power she unleashed was remarkable even for a mid-stage Grandmaster.

Is this really someone from Hehuan Valley? He questioned in his heart.

However, this matter did not bother him for too long. It was a good thing that his companions were strong. In this strange secret realm, having one more powerful companion was always better than having one more burden.

"Is the blood of this worm lava?" Qian Lin didn't care about Geng Hui's little thoughts. She had already run to the worm that she had chopped into paste, and looked curiously at the unidentified object that was still emitting bright red light.

"It's something similar. Some elixirs need it to provide fire properties. However, this worm is a unique grandmaster, and the materials on its body must be more precious..." Qian Handan took a small amount of blood from the air and introduced the purpose of this worm to Qian Lin, but she soon found something wrong.

"Strange, why is the spiritual energy content of this worm's blood so low, not even enough to nourish the mind?"

The value of the materials on a master-level spiritual beast is not as high as that of a spiritual beast of the same clan who is in the state of nourishing the mind. This is no longer just weird.

"Is it true? Let me see too..." Hearing Qian Handan's words, curiosity flashed in Qian Lin's eyes, and he also followed Qian Handan's example and took some of the insect's flesh and blood.

The result was naturally as Qian Handan said. The remains left by the worm did not look like a grandmaster-level spirit beast at all. It could only barely reach the threshold of the Yangxin realm.

This was too strange. Qian Lin could be sure that the power that the insect had just unleashed was definitely at the Grandmaster level.

But how come after the Grandmaster Realm spirit beast died, it became the Mind-Nourishing Realm?

"It is impossible for the lava worms in the Yangxin realm to grow to such a large size, or it is impossible for this race to have such a large size." Qian Handan's brows were tightly knitted together. She found that the knowledge she had learned could no longer explain the current situation.

333. Oasis in the Ashes

"This is the nth grandmaster-level spirit beast? Is this secret realm full of grandmaster-level spirit beasts?" Hua Yue's expression was stiff as she watched several people fighting with a giant bird in the distance.

Since entering the secret realm, she has never seen any weak spirit beasts. Almost all the spirit beasts she encountered were at the grandmaster level, which was really weird.

She originally thought that she could be of some use, but after entering the secret realm, she discovered that her greatest use was to protect Huoyu when the masters were fighting.

This secret realm is too difficult! She cursed in her heart.

Moreover, Huoyu's condition is getting worse and worse. He could still stay awake for a long time a few days ago, but now as time goes by, Huoyu's consciousness begins to become confused.

He is awake for only one-third of the day, and when he is awake he has to endure the pain of being burned by flames. It is simply tragic.

"Alas, if we can't find a solution to the problem, what will become of Huoyu?" Turning her head to look at the red-haired girl with her eyes closed, Huayue sighed secretly.

She and Huoyu are close friends, and the person in the entire sect with whom she has the best relationship is the girl next to her. But now, she can only watch her friend slide into the abyss little by little. This feeling is really terrible.

She wanted to save her friend, but she had no idea how.

Not only did she not know what to do, Ye Qiuhan and the other masters of the holy land also didn't know what to do.

Huoyu's situation was completely beyond everyone's comprehension, and the cultivators in the secret realm simply couldn't find a way to deal with such a thing.

"Senior Sister Ye said that your situation is somewhat similar to Qian Lin's Xuanming backlash. Perhaps she has a way to help you?"

Hua Yue learned from Ye Qiuhan that Qian Lin was also in the Southern Territory, but Ye Qiuhan also told her that Qian Lin could not come over now.

Moreover, Huoyu's physical condition and Qianlin's Xuanming backlash are definitely two completely different things. Even if Qianlin came, Huayue felt that Qianlin would not be able to help Huoyu.

Just as Huayue started to think wildly again, Huoyu, who was lying in her arms, trembled his eyelids slightly, and then opened his eyes.

A cluster of flames danced in her eyes. She tightly grasped Huayue's hand and said to Huayue in a weak voice: "Something is coming, and it's coming for me!"

"What?!" Hearing Huoyu's reminder, Huayue jumped up from the ground and hugged Huoyu in her arms.

She did not question Huoyu's words. At this time, she could only choose to trust Huoyu's judgment.

Summoning the flying sword and flying into the sky, Hua Yue immediately saw a scene that almost made her heart and lungs stop.

A tide of red creatures attacked from afar, and anything that blocked their progress was turned into ashes that were scattered by the wind.

"What is that?!" Huayue's pupils shrank and she ran in the opposite direction without thinking.

Although she didn't know what those things were, she knew that she was definitely no match for them.

So, hurry up and run with Huoyu!

It will be too late if you don’t run now!

"Senior Sister Ye! Help!!!"

……

"The things in this secret realm are really weird. It seems that as soon as it gets dark, all kinds of monsters and demons come out." Looking at the third spirit beast that died under the siege tonight, Qian Lin sighed.

After dealing with the worms, the group continued to move in the direction she chose. As a result, they were attacked by a powerful spirit beast after walking for a while. Fortunately, the two spirit beasts that appeared later were not very strong, and Qian Handan and Geng Hui were able to easily deal with these things together.

The corpses left behind by these spirit beasts were similar to the first worm that died, and did not look like the corpses that would be left behind by a master-level spirit beast at all.

The second corpse was in the Body Tempering Stage, and the third was the same as the first, in the Mind Nourishing Stage.

Anyway, they are not real grandmasters.

"Alas, there is no benefit even if we kill these spirit beasts. It really makes people lose the desire to kill them all of a sudden." After using the water flow to cut the spirit beast corpses into eight pieces, Qian Lin said with regret.

Other cultivators fight Grandmaster-level spirit beasts for the precious materials on the spirit beasts, but when I fight Grandmaster-level spirit beasts, it is really just for the sake of fighting them. The difference in motivation is really too big.

"Moreover, the intelligence of these spirit beasts does not seem to be what a master-level spirit beast should be. The worms can be explained by their racial characteristics, but the two spirit beasts behind are not brainless creatures like worms."

This sentence caused Qian Handan and Geng Hui to nod their heads. They also realized the strange point that these spirit beasts did not have the spiritual intelligence of the Grandmaster level at all.

There seems to be only one thing on their minds, and that is to kill all life they see.

Even if they are surrounded, they will not think of retreating, but choose to fight to the last moment.

"And after each spirit beast dies, the spiritual power in my body seems to suddenly increase..." Qian Lin did not say the last sentence.

She was sure that this was not an illusion. She had not noticed it when she killed the worm, but when the next two spirit beasts died, she clearly felt that her spiritual power had increased a little.

The increased spiritual power was roughly equivalent to the spiritual power she gained from ten days of hard training.

'This is not a good thing. The spiritual power increased by this amount is too superficial and will affect my combat effectiveness.'

Compared with the quantity of spiritual power, Qian Lin paid more attention to its quality, and she would rather not have the mixed spiritual power given to her for free.

Besides, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The sudden increase in spiritual power always gave Qian Lin a bad feeling. Her intuition told her that these things were very disadvantageous to her.

But she had no way to deal with this situation. She did not take action in the next two battles. As soon as the spirit beast died, her spiritual power increased. In other words, this spiritual power increase mechanism had nothing to do with combat.

I can increase my spiritual power without fighting, so what can Qian Lin do?

Have no idea!

"Next time you encounter these weird things, try to avoid fighting. There is no need to waste your precious time on these things." Qian Lin said to the other two masters.

If these Grandmaster-level spirit beasts could produce something, then we would just fight them, but these things are useless except for their combat effectiveness, and Qian Lin really has no interest in fighting them to the death.

She didn't enter the secret realm to kill these spiritual beasts, she came to find Ye Qiuhan!

"Avoiding war is not the style of us, the monks of Zhantian Sect." Geng Hui said coldly.

These people were battle maniacs just like the sword cultivators, and they immediately became dissatisfied when they heard Qian Lin's idea of ​​avoiding fighting.

"If you want to fight, go ahead. I'm not interested in participating in this meaningless battle." But who is Qian Lin? Would she be afraid of you, a shameful cultivator from the Zhantian Sect?

If you want to fight, then go ahead and fight. We in Hehuan Valley will not accompany you. Are you bored enough to waste your spiritual energy in such a completely meaningless place?

"I agree with A Ling's opinion." Qian Handan naturally supported Qian Lin.

She also felt that fighting with these master-level spirit beasts was a bit of a disadvantage. Not only was it tiring, but she also didn't get much benefit.

If there is a chance to avoid a fight, she will definitely choose to avoid it.

"You guys in Hehuan Valley are all like this." Seeing that the two masters of Hehuan Valley had reached a consensus, Geng Hui had no choice but to accept the matter even if he was unwilling.

Without the support of these two people, it would be very difficult for him to defeat these master-level spirit beasts alone.

If you are not careful, you might even be bitten back by the spirit beast.

These spirit beasts only have low IQs, but their combat power is at the complete Grandmaster level, so we cannot afford to be careless.

With a slightly depressed mood in his heart, Geng Hui did not do anything excessive during the rest of the trip. I guess he knew he had to consider the overall situation.

Before the sky became bright, the few people encountered several master-level spirit beasts again, but this time everyone chose to quietly bypass the territories of these spirit beasts and not fight with this group of things head-on.

Although they took a detour, after saving time on fighting, everyone's speed of travel actually increased a bit.

But no one knew how big this secret realm was. After traveling all night, everyone only knew that they had left the overly hot lava area and arrived at an area with a slightly more suitable temperature.

About two hours after the sky became brighter, Qian Lin finally saw the only hint of green since entering the secret realm. It was a lonely oasis, and next to it were countless fine ashes.

"A long time ago, this place was probably a forest?" After falling from the flying sword, Qian Lin looked at the oasis in front of him that was about to disappear, with a faint sadness lingering in his heart.

"...something is wrong. Look at these ashes on the ground." Qian Handan leaned over and picked up some ashes, holding them in the palm of her hand and observing them carefully. "This doesn't look like ashes from ordinary flames."

"Well, these ashes are too fine..."

"Qi...Miss Ling, I have discovered something here, please come and take a look." Before Qian Lin and Qian Handan could talk in detail about the ashes, Nan Xiao on the side suddenly shouted loudly.

Qian Lin hurried over and saw the red insect corpse that Nan Xiao found at the edge of the oasis.

This red flying insect has very sharp mouthparts. It is not very big, only about the size of a human thumb, and it doesn't seem to be very powerful.

But since it died in this place, these ashes are probably related to it.

Using the water flow to roll the insect up from the ground, Qian Lin quickly discovered the cause of death of the insect: it was pierced through the forehead by water spiritual energy.

The wound is so small that it is barely visible even when placed on the insect's body.

Although Qian Lin can also use such fine spiritual energy to kill spiritual beasts, generally speaking, she would not choose such a laborious method.

"Could it be that there was once a very powerful water-based spirit beast here?" However, Qian Lin was not sure who had caused the wound.

Is it a spirit beast? Or a cultivator who entered the secret realm before?

Or something else?

She couldn't guess, but she was basically certain that there must be something different hidden in this oasis, otherwise the entire forest turned into ashes, so how could this oasis survive?

Moreover, she also felt that the water spiritual energy in this oasis was somewhat active, which was quite different from other places in the secret realm.

"Search this oasis carefully. There should be something hidden here."

Under Qian Lin's instructions, the monks from Hehuan Valley that she brought with her immediately took action.

As for those monks from the Zhantian Sect, well, they had already gone to explore the oasis.

Not long after, the monks from Hehuan Valley who were sent out brought good news. They might have found the cause of this oasis.

This matter is simple to say. The cause never thought about hiding itself. It just stood in the middle of the oasis waiting for others to discover it.

The cultivators from Zhantian Sect were the first to discover it, but they were worried that acting on their own would lead to bad consequences, so they discussed it on the spot. This discussion allowed the girl from Hehuan Valley to catch up.

As soon as the girl from Hehuan Valley caught up, Qian Lin came naturally.

Then everyone gathered together and started staring at the blue magical herb in the center of the oasis.

"It's almost cold." Qian Lin came to the conclusion after just one look.

Everyone nodded. Anyone with eyes could see that this wilted little grass would not live long.

"It feels like the juvenile form of the Ice Seven-Leaf Flower. It's a pity that it's not an adult, otherwise we would have made a lot of money." Qian Lin sighed. This spiritual herb is indeed a rare species, but it is not yet time to pick it.

If we pick it now, we won't be able to sell it for a good price.

She waved her hand and sent out a stream of water, which extended the life of the poor little grass. Looking at the grass that came back to life after absorbing the spiritual power she sent, Qian Lin sighed. This was all she could do.

It is impossible to stay and wait for this little grass to grow. The growth time of this spiritual creature is at least measured in hundreds of years, and the surrounding environment is no longer sufficient to support the successful growth of this little grass.

The little water I gave it is probably only enough to keep it alive for a few more days.
