"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Qian Lin shook his head and was about to get up and leave, but a weak voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Don't leave me here..." The crying voice echoed in Qian Lin's mind, "Everyone has been eaten, the whole world has been eaten..."
The flower mark on his forehead continued to emit heat, making it impossible for Qian Lin to regard the voice as an illusion.
The voice was quite childish, like that of a seven or eight-year-old child. No one else present had a voice like that.
Then, there is only one possibility.
Qian Lin's gaze fell on the grass. Was it talking to me?
"Are you talking to me?" Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Qian Lin turned around and walked to Xiaocao, squatted down and asked softly.
'You can hear me? Great, I thought only the other guys could hear me!'
The grass shook its leaves slightly, and its voice suddenly became excited, "Are you also my companion? But why don't you have the smell of my kind?"
334. The person being chased
Same race?
Qian Lin shook her head. She was not the transformed form of some magical herb, but a real human being. At most, she had some blood of a divine beast in her body.
It definitely has nothing to do with this little grass.
The scent felt by this little grass is probably the mark of flowers left by immortals.
"I'm not, but I can help you if you tell me what happened here before."
Qian Lin’s words made the grass a little confused. It shook its leaves again and took a long time to figure out what Qian Lin meant.
...Actually, I don’t really understand it.
"Since you can understand me, you are my friend!" Xiaocao's voice was full of vitality, as if it was very happy to meet Qianlin.
"I don't know much, but I know that a lot of terrible bugs flew over not long ago and ate all the other friends. I thought I would be eaten by them, but for some reason, they just avoided me."
As she spoke, Xiaocao also shared with Qianlin the scene she had sensed a few days ago.
Even though it was just a scene, the overwhelming red tide still made Qian Lin's heart skip a beat. This kind of thing, perhaps only a Venerable could deal with it.
A master like her wouldn't last long in front of such a terrifying thing and would be reduced to ashes like the nearby jungle.
I didn't expect that there are such terrible things in this secret realm. I really can't be careless...
This small grass was not eaten by those insects, probably because of the characteristics of the Ice Seven-Leaf Flower. This spiritual object is extremely poisonous to creatures such as poisonous insects. Even just a little bit of the flower fragrance can kill ordinary poisonous insects.
Those red bugs were not of high level, and the tendency to seek benefits and avoid harm engraved in their blood made them instinctively avoid the grass. This might be the reason why the grass was able to survive.
In other words, this little grass is unpalatable to the insects and they will die if they eat it, so they avoid it without a second thought.
"I have told you everything I know. Can you take me away from here?" Xiaocao said hopefully.
"Okay, I will take you to a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people and good scenery, so that you can take root and grow again." Qian Lin nodded and had already arranged a way for the little grass.
Then give the grass to Ye Qiuhan and let Ye Qiuhan plant it in the secret realm of Yao Chi.
Yao Chi might lack other things, but it has plenty of spiritual land for growing the Ice Condensation Seven-Leaf Flower. Moreover, this little grass is a very rare spiritual object. Uncle Bi Ye will definitely be happy to see that I brought back such a seedling.
"Thank you!" The leaves of the grass swayed even more happily.
The adult Ice Condensation Seven-Leaf Flower has the ability to move freely, but in its infancy it is just an ordinary spiritual herb, unable to move on its own. Without Qian Lin's help it can only rot here.
Wrapping the grass with a gentle stream of water, Qian Lin carefully pulled up the grass that came to his door with its roots and placed it in a jade flowerpot specially used to grow spiritual objects.
Don’t ask why Qian Lin has this kind of thing in his storage bag. The reason is to be prepared.
Qian Lin had obtained so many storage bags from the Fire Lotus Sect before, and she basically put everything that could fit into the storage bags. She now has storage bags in the double digits, including flower pots prepared for spiritual objects. Isn't that normal?
Xiaocao was very happy to move to a new home and thanked Qianlin repeatedly.
"There's nothing to thank me for. It's just an equal exchange." Qian Lin chuckled and stuffed the flowerpot back into the storage bag.
Just remember to take out this little grass and water it every day. With the flowerpot, this little grass will definitely not starve to death.
"Huh, done." After packing up the grass and taking it away, Qian Lin turned his head and looked at the demons who had been watching nearby. "We are lucky that we didn't encounter that kind of scary thing as soon as we entered the secret realm."
As he spoke, Qian Lin shared the images he had obtained from Xiao Cao with others.
Seeing the crimson swarm of insects sweeping over like a tide, everyone fell silent.
They did not doubt that the picture was faked by Qian Lin. After all, the surrounding environment was highly credible evidence.
"This kind of monster... do we have a chance to defeat it?" Nan Xiao's face turned pale and drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
No one answered her question. Everyone present knew that when faced with a monster like this, they only had one choice, and that was to run quickly. If they ran slowly, they would die.
A single bug may be very weak, but when the number reaches an extremely terrifying number, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change.
No master can survive under the mouth of such a monster, even Qian Lin thinks so.
"Don't be so depressed, at least they won't come back to eat us in the short term." Qian Lin clapped his hands and told everyone the good news.
This place has been eaten clean by those bugs. Now they should have flown far away and will never come back.
"This secret realm is really terrifying. There are such terrifying spiritual beasts." Geng Hui's hands were shaking a little. He imagined what would happen if he encountered those insects. No matter how he thought about it, there were only two outcomes. One was to flee in panic, and the other was to leave no trace.
He did have the ability to kill a large number of bugs, but the bugs he killed were just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire swarm.
Fortunately, there was this black-haired guy from Hehuan Valley, otherwise he would have to encounter those insects before he realized the danger.
Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Qian Lin became softer, not as directed as before.
"We encountered so many strange things before, so I'm not surprised to see something so scary now. We have to continue exploring the secret realm, otherwise we will encounter these bugs sooner or later." Qian Lin said to everyone, "If you want to survive, find a way to leave the secret realm quickly. Staying here is chronic suicide."
This time, everyone had no objection.
Before anyone knew it, Qian Lin had taken over command and became the leader of this magic team.
……
"Damn, are these bugs targeting me?"
A green light flashed across the sky, followed by a tidal sea of red insects.
Ye Qiuhan gritted her teeth and flew forward. She didn't know what was going on. The insects were chasing her. The other brothers and sisters wanted to help her lead the sea of insects away but they were unable to do so.
In desperation, she had to separate from the main force and randomly choose a direction to flee.
In this way, at least other people will not be in any danger, and her speed and endurance are sufficient. Giving her some time, it won't be a problem to get rid of these bugs.
In the general direction, she made a huge circle by twisting and turning, leading the insects in the direction she had walked before.
The other righteous monks chose another direction, trying to stay away from the sea of insects as much as possible.
Ye Qiuhan noted down the places where they parted. As long as she got rid of these terrible bugs, she would turn around and go back to catch up with her companions. This was her best option now.
“But it’s really hard to shake off these monsters. Do these guys have endless endurance?” Looking back at the red torrent still hanging behind him, Ye Qiuhan roared in his heart, “Saint, do you have any way to deal with these bugs?”
"A single red flame flying insect is at the bottom of the food chain among spirit beasts. Almost any spirit beast cultivator can deal with them, but when they start to gather in groups, unless you have the strength of a venerable realm, you can only choose to flee."
There was helplessness in the saint's voice. If Ye Qiuhan was facing other powerful spirit beasts, she could still use her own methods to help Ye Qiuhan defeat the opponent, but what they were facing now was a swarm of red-flame flying insects, which was no longer a problem that she could solve alone.
No matter how strong a person is, there is a limit to their strength. The combat power that the Saint has displayed now is at best invincible at the Grandmaster level, and it probably won't take much time for these red-flame flying insects to devour a peak Grandmaster.
"Moreover, the normal Red Flame Flying Insects can only grow to the Cultivation Realm, but almost every one of those Red Flame Flying Insects behind you is at the Body Forging Realm. With so many Body Forging Realm spirit beasts rushing forward, no creature in this secret realm can escape from their hands."
"Is it like this again? The spiritual beasts in this secret realm seem to have been forcibly enhanced in their cultivation by some unknown force..."
Having been in the secret realm for such a long time, Ye Qiuhan naturally realized the weirdness of this secret realm. To tell you a funny thing, these insects are the only kind of body-tempering spiritual beasts she has seen since entering the secret realm.
The other spirit beasts are all at the Grandmaster level, and their combat power is not weak!
The average combat power of this secret realm is ridiculously high. Even these elite disciples from the holy land feel the pressure. They changed from killing the spirit beasts when they saw them in the beginning to not fighting if possible.
As luck would have it, after encountering a grandmaster-level spirit beast that it could not escape from, the red-flame flying insect suddenly rushed out and caught both sides off guard.
The disciples of the holy land managed to escape successfully thanks to their excellent mobility, but the poor Grandmaster-level spirit beast was instantly gnawed into a skeleton by flying insects. This was also the reason why Ye Qiuhan had no intention of fighting and chose to escape directly.
Only a fool would go head-on with these horrible bugs!
She didn't want to turn into a skeleton like that poor spirit beast. She had a lovely wife at home waiting for her to go back and pamper her. She couldn't die here!
"Is this what you are thinking about at this moment?!"
“Ahhh, I just can’t die. The reason doesn’t matter at all!”
……
While Ye Qiuhan was playing Escape Plan, the people from the Southern Territory who entered the secret realm from another secret realm entrance were fighting hard with a grandmaster-level spirit beast.
Almost all the cultivators in the Southern Territory are fire-type, and as luck would have it, the spirit beasts they faced this time had a higher resistance to fire-type spirit skills than the lava worms, almost to the point of immunity.
The spiritual skills that the Southern Territory's masters used all their strength to unleash upon the spiritual beasts could only give them a slight scratch.
As for the attacks of the spirit beasts, the masters did not dare to take them head-on. Just now, a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm who was unable to react in time was beaten into a meat pie by the spirit beast's tail, proving the power of the spirit beasts with his life.
The masters from the southern border were besieging the spirit beasts, but Hua Xi stood aside, hugging his chest and watching coldly as these people jumped up and down like clowns.
After entering the secret realm, they soon encountered a master-level spirit beast. At that time, Huaxi helped this group of masters, but when the spoils were divided later, she only got a very small amount. She was obviously the main output, but she was collectively excluded by this group of people from the Southern Territory.
The materials distributed were also not right. The materials from a master-level spirit beast were only at the level of nourishing the mind. Hua Xi felt that this might be the special feature of this secret realm.
So she suggested that these people from the southern border avoid fighting as much as possible, but these people did not listen to her. They thought that she was dissatisfied with the previous distribution plan and was deliberately causing trouble.
The more Hua Xi tried to persuade these people, the more rebellious they became. So when they encountered the spirit beast, they rushed forward regardless of Hua Xi's objections, wanting to prove that they could successfully hunt the spirit beast without Hua Xi.
As a result, a group of people from the Southern Territory encountered the spiritual beast that was most powerful against people from the Southern Territory. They surrounded the spiritual beast and fought it for most of the day but to no avail.
Instead, several people in the Body Tempering Realm in his own team were killed by spirit beasts, which made the forces belonging to the Body Tempering Realm feel heartbroken.
"Ms. Huaxi, you have seen the current situation. Please help us get rid of this spirit beast!"
"Why do you come to me for help? What does the trouble you brought upon yourselves have to do with me?" Hua Xi didn't give her any face at all. If this spirit beast had come to her on its own, there would be no problem for her to take action. But this was clearly trouble that was caused by the people from the Southern Territory on their own will. Why should she help these arrogant guys?
"Take my advice and leave immediately. This spirit beast can't catch up with us."
After saying this, Huaxi turned around, walked around the battlefield and headed in another direction.
They can’t win in a fight, but they also don’t want to leave. These people from the Southern Territory are simply the epitome of stupid teammates.
Huaxi's patience has reached its limit. No matter what these people from the Southern Territory think, she will leave the team and act alone.
She entered the secret realm not to look for precious spiritual objects and materials. Her goal was to kill the monks from the Hehuan Valley who had entered the secret realm, and by the way, find Ye Qiuhan who had been trapped in the secret realm for many days.
Following these guys from the southern border, it seemed that both of her goals would be a little difficult to achieve. It would be better for her to part ways with them now so that no one would get in each other's way in the future.
She has roughly understood the situation of this secret realm. With her strength, as long as she is careful, she will not encounter any fatal danger.
"But direction is also a difficult problem. The scale of this secret realm is probably quite large. Trying to find those people is like looking for a needle in a haystack..." Hua Xi sighed. After entering the secret realm, the communication jade token could no longer be used, otherwise she would have taken out the jade token to contact Ye Qiuhan.
There is no need to rely on the physical body to find people like we do now.
Hua Xi stretched his spiritual sense to the maximum, selected a direction, and flew quickly in that direction.
Hope to come across something.
335. What You Think Is a Siege
"This place is really a place where even cats and dogs can become masters. If other spirit beasts knew there was such a place with such outstanding people and beautiful scenery, they would probably crowd this secret realm to bursting."
Qian Lin muttered softly as he led the team to quietly bypass the territory of a civet cat.
The number of Grandmaster-level spirit beasts she encountered in the past few days is more than in her two lifetimes combined. It's simply outrageous.
The Grandmaster-level spiritual beasts that are extremely rare outside are sold in bulk at no cost in this secret realm!
Every two steps you take you will encounter a master, and these are just the living ones. Qian Lin doesn’t even have the mood to count the dead ones.
There were many huge skeletons on the path of the sea of insects. It was obvious at a glance that some poor creatures were unable to dodge and were chewed into skeletons by those insects.
"It's just that their strength has reached the Grandmaster level. In other areas, they can't be considered Grandmaster at all. I suspect that the strength of these spirit beasts has been forcibly increased by some other force." Qian Handan continued.
Anyway, these spirit beasts could not have appeared naturally. Don't think that it is easy for the spirit beasts to reach the master level. Without some ancient blood in their bodies, it is impossible to break through to the master level.
Look at Qian Lin's nine-tailed white fox, which has reverted to its ancestral form. Its talent is considered good among spirit beasts. It will take at least a hundred years to climb to the Grandmaster level. Fortunately, the lifespan of most spirit beasts is long enough, otherwise they would probably die of old age before breaking through to the Grandmaster level.
And the spiritual beasts in this secret realm, just the ones Qian Lin had seen, were so strange and varied that even Qian Handan could not recognize all of them.
But one thing is certain, that is, these spirit beasts originally had no chance of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.
