Chapter 120: Desolate Ancient Road

Just as Gong Chenying and the others ran out, a small path passed through a dense jungle in the Wheel of Life and Death. A group of monsters were screaming and rushing towards the front of the forest. The green leaves in the woods were like arrows, and they rushed towards them with sharp whistles.

This was a group of monsters mainly composed of reptiles, but mainly composed of two large tribes, ground thorn lizards, six-tailed poisonous centipedes, and a few scattered powerful monsters of other races. They cut through the thorns all the way, and although there were casualties, they were very few.

"We need to be faster, so that we can rest in advance and ambush the opponent like in the last level. The team of human swordsmen in the last level was really difficult to deal with." The leader was a late-stage second-level ground thorn lizard. It was half-standing, with dense thorns all over its body, just like a hard shell. Its head was like a bucket, and its long tongue was stretched out from time to time. Holding a pair of plank-door broadswords, he looked at the twenty-two monsters behind him and couldn't help but shouting.

In the last level, they encountered the sword cultivators of the Ten-Step Academy. After a fierce battle, ten of their monsters died and four were seriously injured. However, the four seriously injured ones ended up in their stomachs. Since they couldn't fight any further, they might as well make a contribution. Thinking of the rain of swords flying out of the sword boxes behind the cultivators, some monsters felt cold. Those sword cultivators were too terrifying. Their attacks were sharp and unparalleled. Even some of the most defensive monsters dared not use their bodies to block them. Especially some cultivators without sword boxes, their attacks were even more terrifying. They didn't know when a sharp sword would appear in the space above their necks. They were really hard to guard against. Several companions lost their heads when they were caught off guard. If the opponent hadn't been caught off guard and ambushed, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

Li Yan waved his hand and released a blue light. A water belt rolled towards an arm in the air that was twice as thick as his entire body. The arm was a Guanyin arm that flew up from the sand. It was mottled with years, and pieces of skin peeled off, revealing small brown pits. It smashed over with a whimpering sound.

After the blue water belt circled and sank, it flew far away and flew into the sand beside the ancient road. With a "bang", the sand and dust were splashed everywhere.

Looking at the other cultivators who were also struggling to cope, and looking at the broken limbs of the statues flying up in the desolate desert, as well as the unknown black and red sandworms mixed in, Li Yan's scalp tingled. The attack intensity of this level was far greater than the previous level. They only advanced less than 500 meters in half an hour. During this time, two people were bitten by a red lizard-like sandworm. Now one of them is unconscious and the other has temporarily lost his combat effectiveness. Fortunately, they are all people who use poison without authorization. They took several detoxification pills to slow down the spread of poison in their bodies.

The two have been collected by Gong Chenying in a special spirit storage bag. Storage

The bag can only store dead things, not living things. Otherwise, there will be no air in the space, and the living things will suffocate to death. The soul storage bag is a special space that takes in a very small soul vein, which allows the living things to not only survive, but also rely on the soul vein to practice. This kind of soul storage bag is extremely precious and rare in the outside world. Even with the strength of the four major sects, each sect will not have more than ten. This time, only three captains participated in the life and death round and received one each, in case someone in the sect was injured and lost their combat effectiveness, but had nowhere to hide. The elders repeatedly told them to keep it as if it were their life, and hand it over to the sect immediately after leaving.

In the previous level, they finally got one from the body of Zen Master Zhizhong. Now the two soul storage bags are on Gong Chenying. They will be handed over to the sect after they go out. As for the Pure Land Sect asking for them, they don't even think about it. If Gong Chenying and her team are also destroyed and the soul storage bags are obtained by the Pure Land Sect, they will not return them. They can only think that they are unlucky. In fact, this kind of soul storage bag has the consciousness of the leader of the foundation-building monk on it. One is that it is needed to open it, and the other is that the soul storage bag can be detonated at the last moment. It's just that Zen Master Zhizhong's consciousness had communicated with the soul storage bag before he exploded, but in the end Li Yan triggered the Twelve Fragments in advance, so he didn't have time to destroy the soul storage bag. However, Gong Chenying couldn't use his soul storage bag for the time being. He had to eliminate the spiritual mark left on it, which took time, but they didn't need to use it immediately at the moment, so they were not in a hurry.

The red lizard was extremely small, with a slender spindle-shaped head and scales that were dazzlingly bright red. It was extremely fast and often hid in the dust raised by the attacks of other gods. It disappeared in a flash, and the protective aura of those below the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Stage was basically shattered by its attack.

Now, except for Li Yan, the six cultivators below the tenth level of Qi Condensation Stage had already slapped a "Ghost Cart Talisman" on their body protection. This talisman has the defense of the middle stage of foundation building. When entering the Wheel of Life and Death, each person was issued three. Looking at the pained looks on the faces of the elders, you can know how precious it is. If it is not for participating in the Wheel of Life and Death, if a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage can have one, he will regard it as a treasure. It is said that this talisman can be activated by one's own spiritual power at a low level, and can continuously replenish some consumption in the talisman. Although the talisman power will inevitably be exhausted in the end, it is many times more precious than the usual disposable defense talisman paper. Even the cultivators in the foundation building stage treasure it and use it seldom. The main reason is that the raw materials for refining it are very rare in the outside world. In the past few thousand years, they have all been collected from this secret realm. Otherwise, how could those Jindan elders be so reluctant to part with it.

Li Yan did not take out the "

"Ghost Cart Talisman", he had been attacked by a red lizard before, and was shocked. He had already injected spiritual power into the spiritual power shield. With a sharp "squeak", the shield on his body was penetrated by the monster by half an inch. He looked at it desperately drilling inward, showing his sharp teeth and screaming "squeak". The red tail actually turned into a spiral and spun wildly, as if it had strengthened the huge boost. Li Yan's scalp was numb. The spiritual light on his body flashed violently and then it was repelled into the air and merged into the fine sand. This made him feel a little relieved. After thinking about it, he still didn't take out the "Ghost Cart Talisman". He had a hunch in his heart that the attacks in the next level would become stronger and stronger. Now that he could still defend, he would certainly not use the "Ghost Cart Talisman".

Since the two ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivators were hit and bitten by this beast, the other three ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivators were slightly protected by the others, but after gritting their teeth, they still went their own way. He offered a "Ghost Car Talisman". Everyone who can come here is not a weakling, otherwise these few people would not have been able to defeat so many tenth-level Qi Condensation masters along the way and obtain a place, but they often either have a powerful spiritual treasure, or are gifted with some special magical powers, but these six people with deep magic power do not have Li Yan's advantage in this aspect.

Some cultivators who are closer to Li Yan can't help but look up to Li Yan, the nominal uncle. After all, they know that Li Yan has only been a disciple for about five years. When he was a disciple, he heard that he had just entered the second level of Qi Condensation. Although he is only at the eighth level now, he can be comparable to a tenth-level Qi Condensation master. It's really amazing. No wonder Master Wei of Xiaozhu Peak can directly accept him as a disciple. What's more, this uncle's poison skills are extremely strange. Although they are not as good as the uncles and uncles who have studied the way of using poison for decades, they have also had nearly ten years of skills. They have never heard of the poison used by Li Yan. When they ask those uncles and uncles, they often ask them about it. , but he looked very secretive, just shook his head but didn't say anything.

Li Yan was not at ease at this moment. Although the red lizards attacked strangely, fortunately there were not many of them. Only occasionally would one appear, and it would miss the first attack and immediately bounce back, waiting for the next sneak attack. This monster seemed to have intelligence and was not just attacking blindly. Otherwise, Li Yan believed that they could kill them all with their means. Unfortunately, until now, only about three of these strange red lizards have been killed, two of which were killed by Gong Chenying in front. The two red lizards may have seen Gong Chenying riding first and dealing with the most attacks on both sides of the ancient road, thinking that they had an opportunity. They didn't expect that they were crushed into powder by a powerful force after they suddenly attacked within a ten-foot range in front of Gong Chenying. This made Li Yan and his men in the back stunned. Gong Chenying's powerful strength was like a female war god.

What gave Li Yan a headache was a small black insect, similar to a beetle. Its black shell wings made a buzzing sound when it flew. This kind of black beetle always attacked in groups of thousands. Its single attack ability was not very strong. It can be said that Li Yan and his team could easily smash dozens of them with just a wind blade. However, this kind of black shell insect seemed to know some formations. Often, about a thousand of them formed a dark cloud of insects, which were either spear-shaped, triangle-shaped, or giant hammer-shaped. When they flapped their wings together, they could make different noises with different frequencies according to different formations, which were either sharp and piercing, or low and chest-suffocating, or high and blood-boiling, or soft and sleepy. The demons in everyone's hearts kept rising. They almost missed and were broken through by them several times. Even a few red lizards took the opportunity to attack the defense formation. Everyone was in a hurry to avoid their own spiritual shields from being broken. Everyone was so frightened that their backs were wet and they broke out in cold sweats.

Time passed by little by little. Half an hour later, they barely advanced about six miles forward at the cost of injuring another cultivator in the middle stage of the tenth level of the Condensation Stage. At this time, everyone's spiritual power had been depleted by 30%, and a lot of various defensive talismans were also used. This cast a shadow on everyone's mind for the next level. Many of the defensive means they prepared were used up by nearly half in the second level.

In the meantime, seeing that some of the attacks on both sides of the desolate ancient road were actually coming from very deep places, this gave Gong Chenying a new perspective. She thought that this place might not be restricted to the middle of the street like the previous level, and it was impossible to stay away from the street, so she tried to attack one side of the ancient road. This attack was not a big deal. Afterwards, Gong Chenying was always afraid of palpitations every time she thought of it.

She attacked the side of the ancient road, and Li Yan and the others followed closely. Just as Gong Chenying thought, this level did not limit them to a certain area. They suddenly moved 100 meters to one side. In this 100-meter journey, the originally dense attacks were reduced by more than half. The reason was that when they were on the desolate ancient road, they had to accept attacks from both sides. Now they only had to defend half of the attacks, and the attacks at this time were obviously reduced a lot. They only had to move forward along the direction of the ancient road in this desert.

But after walking forward for a while, the cultivators began to feel that something was wrong. No one thought that such an easy situation would happen so easily. Just when Gong Chenying found something wrong, they had already entered the desert about 200 meters diagonally. The attacks here were reduced to only occasional sporadic attacks, and the feeling of uneasiness in the hearts of the people became stronger and stronger, especially Li Yan, who felt that the spiritual power in his body was circulating wildly, as if the five elements circulation had increased by more than ten times, as if urging Li Yan to leave this place as soon as possible.
