But faster than that is an ice pick.
It dodged twice in the air, and the ice cone turned twice with it, getting closer and closer. The thing suddenly changed from one to five, flying in different directions.
But in the next moment, the ice cone also split into five pieces!
Everyone only heard a few "whoosh" sounds, and each ice cone hit the target.
Some were nailed to tree trunks and some were nailed to stones.
He Lingchuan turned around and saw Xiao Wencheng's face was livid.
Needless to say, this ice cone was released by Master Xiao. This immortal has extraordinary magical powers and his reaction speed is extremely fast.
He Lingchuan's original slight contempt for these immortals was immediately eliminated.
Not to mention the problem of enemy strategy, the cultivation of these immortals is itself very strong.
Dong Rui also dug out a small yellow figure from the ground, which was exactly what He Lingchuan had knocked off with his knife handle earlier:
A dead beetle.
As for Xiao Wencheng's ice spike, it also nailed five insects. Four of them were ordinary beetles, just a little bigger, some golden green, some yellowish brown, only one black insect looked weird, not even as long as the little finger, like a scorpion but without the sharp hook, and the tail was a few thin and forked tentacles.
To put it simply, it seemed like it had antennae growing on its tail, which were still moving.
"This is a brain worm. Some parts have two more characters. We call it a 'brain-eating worm monster'!" Aunt Zhu also came over to observe. "It can sneak into the seven orifices of living things, bite through the upper jaw to invade the brain, and then control the victim's words and actions. The whiskers on its tail are used to connect to the brain of its prey."
Dong Rui used a knife to poke its tail: "Is the host dead or alive?"
"It's dead. It died when it was invaded. But the brain-eating worm monster can secrete some medicine to keep the body active temporarily, so that the muscles won't loosen and the corpse won't stink." Otherwise, the brain-eating worm monster can deceive humans, but it cannot deceive other monsters with a keen sense of smell.
Some animals, like crows, vultures and wild dogs, don't have to be demons to be able to smell the distinctive odor of dying creatures.
"It has another unique skill: when it eats the brain, it can also read the host's memory." Aunt Zhu explained, "So this thing is very suitable as a scout. If we hadn't discovered it in time, it would have escaped and brought all the information on Shilong Peak to Bai Ziqi."
The formation of Shilong Peak is tight and the defense is excellent. Any bird or insect monster from the Heavenly Palace that approaches will be attacked.
As a result, the other party sent out a small, hidden monster called the Brain-Eating Worm Demon, which attached itself to a disciple of the Illusion Sect and went up the mountain.
Alas, it’s hard to guard against.
He Lingchuan stared at the strange insect on the tree and felt that it looked familiar.
Yes, he had seen this thing... in the Battle of Yuheng City in the Panlong World!
At that time, Fu Shanlie sent insect monsters to sneak into Yuheng City to assassinate the city defenders, and also wanted to plot against He Lingchuan. That battle was very difficult.
It turns out that there really are brain-eating insect monsters in the real Bega!
"It's not dead yet." He Lingchuan turned around and asked the Spider Queen, "Auntie, can you get some information out of it?"
"Let me try."
Aunt Zhu sent out little spiders to wrap the brain-eating insect monster with spider webs. Xiao Wencheng waved his hand and the ice cone disappeared.
The little spider took the brain-eating insect monster aside for interrogation. Its acid had the ability to corrode the body, and most insect monsters couldn't stand it.
Xiao Wencheng immediately summoned two of his followers to question them.
Li and Wu had just had a close call with death and now felt cold all over their bodies. They quickly told everything.
"This thing is hanging around Xianguang Cave?" Xiao Wencheng suddenly realized, "The gate of Xianguang Cave is guarded by a ghost-faced beast, and all sneaky things can be discovered. It can't get in, so it took the Yingtai car to the mountain to gather intelligence."
Li and Wu touched their necks and felt that they had survived a disaster.
If this monster suddenly attacks in the middle of the battle, I will be dead.
"The Haoyuan Golden Mirror is a famous treasure from ancient times. Miao Zhantian probably knows its power and magical powers." Xiao Wencheng was also somewhat relieved. "If the brain-eating insect monster reports its current state to the demon, it will be even more disadvantageous to us."
If Miao Zhantian knew that they were using the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and if he found that the Haoyuan Golden Mirror was not in good condition, he would definitely adjust his response measures.
"But it wants to sneak into the Immortal Light Cave, which means Miao Zhantian has ideas about our treasure house." Xiao Wencheng frowned, "They are also facing a shortage of spiritual power and must use black crystals as a supplement!"
He Lingchuan nodded: "They need a lot of black crystals to support the lighthouse. It seems that Miao Zhantian will not be satisfied with just one or two barriers."
Elder Liu suddenly rushed out from the main hall and stepped to the mirror in one step: "Oh no, Lao Du's soul lamp is extinguished!"
Every immortal has a soul lamp, which is placed in the side hall.
When a person dies, the light goes out.
"What!" Everyone's face changed.
More than a quarter of an hour ago, Elder Du led a team to Honggang to stop Tiangong from building a lighthouse there.
The reason why Honggang is called "Gang" is that it is a large steep slope. However, the battle was extremely fierce, and Honggang was directly flattened in two layers, leaving only a small mound of earth.
Just now, Xiao Wencheng and others saw Elder Du showing his might, first repelling Beijia's demon fairy, then beheading five practitioners in a row, and then the brain-eating insect monster came to steal information. Everyone was distracted to deal with it and didn't pay attention to the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. Who knew that in just a few dozen breaths, the situation in Honggang had changed drastically?
They turned to look at the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror and happened to see the most horrifying scene: Honggang, the place where the Huan Sect and the Tian Palace were fighting fiercely, actually collapsed silently into a huge earth pit!
Not an explosion, but a squeeze and collapse.
The diameter of this irregular giant pit is more than fifty feet, and its depth is more than five feet. The entire pit has turned into a clean brown color, without any carbide or impurities.
Aunt Zhu cried out in disbelief: "The soul is imploding!"
Immortals and practitioners with exceptionally strong soul power, once they find that they are doomed to die, may activate a soul explosion in the hope of severely damaging the enemy or perishing together with them.
The formation of the soul implosion is similar to a black hole. Objects within the attack range will be compressed. If it is a living creature, the body will be squeezed alive, but the bones, blood and muscles will not splash out at all. This is different from the effect of the soul implosion, but it is more difficult to defend against.
He Lingchuan was greatly surprised.
Immortals who can live to this age all know how to cherish their lives. If Elder Du finds that he still has a chance of survival, he will not activate the soul explosion.
What happened?
Elder Du was killed in the battle, but Honggang also became Hongkeng, no longer a must-fight place for the Heavenly Palace, so they had to give up and prepare to retreat.
Xiao Wencheng stroked the frame of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror and said, "How did Lao Du die? Let me see!"
The mirror suddenly became blurry, and when it became clear again, it showed the scene that everyone had just missed.
Damn, He Lingchuan was secretly surprised, this mirror actually has a playback function?
Elder Du is very good at magic and the battle pace is very fast. In the first half, he suppressed the opponent's demon fairy for a while.
Then, support from Tiangong arrived.
Two golden rings flew out from somewhere, intersected in the air, and with a ding sound, they turned into four.
The four of them collided with each other again, and the number doubled again... When they flew a hundred feet away, the two golden rings had turned into one hundred and eighty, all with double images, colliding and spinning in all directions, making it impossible to defend against them.
What’s even more terrifying is that their sounds are not only deafening, but also have a strong disturbing effect, making those who hear them feel dizzy, their brains swollen, and their hearts choked up and they want to vomit.
It was as if the summer cicada chorus had suddenly been amplified a thousand times in my ears!
More than a hundred Yakshas and a dozen disciples of the Illusion Sect were knocked flying. Some vomited blood, and some had their brains beaten out.
Elder Du was so angry that he yelled and threw a blue light to hit it back, otherwise the golden ring would have harvested countless lives. This thing also has a spinning effect, and it passively made a circle.
A man suddenly appeared behind Elder Du. He was short, thin and dark, and looked to be in his forties. He raised his hand and chopped the back of Elder Du's head with a knife.
Elder Du would never be attacked so easily, he took two steps away before turning back to fight the enemy, but when he saw this man, his eyes widened and he cried out in shock -
It was like Elder Liu suddenly pointed at the mirror with a look of shock: "Junior Brother Diyun! Senior Brother, that, that is actually Junior Brother Diyun!"
His eyes widened.
With his status and cultivation, he shouldn't have lost his composure like this.
Xiao Wencheng looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes fixed, his face also livid: "It's really Junior Brother Diyun! These lackeys in the Heavenly Palace are really hateful, I will definitely skin them alive, pull out their tendons, and roast their souls for thirty-six days to comfort Junior Brother Diyun's spirit in heaven!"
He Lingchuan also looked at the Haoyuan Golden Mirror.
Elder Du was so shocked that he didn't notice a shadow leaping out from behind the tree and stabbing him in the back of the neck like a ghost.
Another demon fairy!
Three against one, and they started with a sneak attack, which is unethical.
This time Elder Du was unable to dodge and, despite the severe injury in his throat, he fought off two attacks and fell to the ground.
The other party wanted to seal his acupuncture points and suppress his soul to prevent self-destruction, but Elder Du got there first.
This is the first immortal from the Illusion Sect who died in the Upside-Down Sea!
Honggang became Hongkeng, and more than a hundred people from both sides were killed.
All the immortals in front of the mirror who were watching the battle were furious.
If the brain-eating insect monster had not diverted the attention of the immortal in front of the mirror, they could have passed through the mirror and supported Elder Du in the first place!
Damn it, so hateful!
Seeing that the immortal was very upset, He Lingchuan asked at the right time: "Who is the person holding the golden ring?"
What kind of person could shock Elder Du to the point of losing his guard?
"He is my fellow apprentice brother, who ranks 49th under the Immortal Lord!" Xiao Wencheng stared at the mirror. Now the Haoyuan Golden Mirror returned to its original perspective. "Three hundred years ago, Junior Brother Diyun was ordered by the Immortal Lord to go out on business. Since then, there has been no news. We sent people to look for him, but we couldn't find his whereabouts. I didn't expect to see him again today, in this situation!"
Elder Liu added: "He and Lao Du are like brothers. They fought side by side countless times in ancient times."
Dong Rui asked tentatively: "To comfort the soul in heaven?"
Doesn’t that mean Di Yun has surrendered to the enemy?
Xiao Wencheng pointed at the person in the mirror and said, "That's not Junior Brother Diyun anymore. The demon has taken over his body!"
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui had already guessed it, but they still felt creepy when they heard it.
Everyone stared at the mirror. After a while, the sand in Honggang's brand new sand pit was stirred, and then a person came out. It was Master Diyun.
That is the devil.
