Chapter 1356
That cultivator … really couldn't figure out how this rogue cultivator, who was only at the second level of Qi Condensation, managed to break free from the confinement talisman. Even more so, he couldn't believe that the spear tip in this rogue cultivator's hand actually possessed unparalleled strength. Not only did it penetrate his defense, it even shattered the restriction on his Daoist robe, causing him, a seventh level Qi Condensation cultivator … to unexpectedly die in the hands of a rogue cultivator at the second level of Qi Condensation!
The devil spear pierced the cultivator's chest. Similarly, a black thread flashed by, extinguishing the cultivator's life force. Immediately after, without waiting for Xiao Hua to withdraw his hand, a series of "Pa Pa Pa" sounds rang out. The ice worms flying at the front had already collided with Xiao Hua's body. On Xiao Hua's back, the brilliance of the weak water talisman gradually solidified …
Immediately after, "Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa" sounds rang out continuously. It seemed that in just a split second, Xiao Hua's back had turned into a block of ice.
Turning his head to look at the hundreds and thousands of ice worms, Xiao Hua's heart gave birth to a burst of panic. That panic was like a gale, completely expelling the joy of killing the enemy. Only a single word, as firm as a boulder, remained in his heart — Run!
Only now did Xiao Hua understand why the cultivators of the country of Xi were so afraid of the Southern Cauling, and why they only dared to pass through at night. Just now, hundreds and thousands of ice worms were already enough to make Xiao Hua, whose flying speed was close to the eleventh level of Qi Condensation, flustered. If the number was even greater, wouldn't it be strange if he wasn't turned into an icicle by the ice worms?
Xiao Hua didn't dare to be negligent. While rapidly chasing after Li Xiaowen and the others, he held the devil spear tip in his hand and struck his own back with it.
With a crash, the spear tip smashed the block of ice, and the iron cloak talisman was also broken. Immediately after, Xiao Hua stored the devil spear tip into his space and applied an iron cloak talisman to himself.
While Xiao Hua was running for his life, he didn't forget to look at the cultivator who had just transformed into a rock.
As Xiao Hua expected, the short and fat cultivator who had just turned into a rock had already heard his junior brother's screams and came out of the rock. At this moment, he was looking at Xiao Hua with a sinister expression. However, there were many ice worms between Xiao Hua and the cultivator, causing the cultivator to hesitate!
When Xiao Hua saw that the two of them were wearing the same clothes and their faces were also the same, he already knew he had a great enmity with this person. Moreover, this person was a seventh layer Aura Refining cultivator. Compared to him, the difference between them was really too great. If he didn't run now, when would he?
Thus, Xiao Hua urged his magic power and poured it all into the flying talisman. His whole body was like the wind, flying forward at extreme speed. Behind him, thousands of ice worms also surged and chased after him!
When the cultivator saw Xiao Hua fly away, a trace of amazement appeared on his face. However, in an instant, it turned into a sneer. Because he had returned to his original form, more than ten ice worms had turned around to look for him. The cultivator didn't panic. He clenched his teeth, slapped his storage pouch, and took out a somewhat strange yellow talisman. The yellow talisman's color was somewhat faint, and the talisman's runes were already somewhat indistinct. However, when the cultivator held it in his hand, he slightly urged his magic power and actually drew in a large amount of the surrounding spiritual energy. When the yellow talisman turned into an orange brilliance, the cultivator placed his hand on his shoulder. The brilliance of the yellow talisman flashed and disappeared in a flash, repeatedly rippling around the cultivator's body. The brilliance of the yellow talisman was stable, and a layer of earthy yellow, like a Daoist robe, appeared around the cultivator's body.
This earthy yellow film was also very strange. As soon as it appeared, the dozen ice worms seemed to have lost track of the cultivator and stopped about one zhang in front of him. Then, the dozen ice worms slightly circled around, spread their wings, and flew away.
Seeing the ice worm fly away, the cultivator's face didn't show any joy or anger. He flew up and flew towards the opposite stone wall. At this moment, there was only the corpse of the cultivator killed by Xiao Hua's surprise attack. Because the corpse had just died, it was still warm. Most of its body had already been turned into ice by the ice worm.
The short and fat cultivator looked around and his gaze fell on the corpse's waist. There were also two different bags of holding there. Fortunately, only a small portion of the two bags of holding were sealed in ice. The cultivator didn't hesitate to take the bag of holding and put it on his waist. Then he took out a dark red triangular talisman and activated it with his magic power. The talisman turned into a drop of blood. The cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood essence on the talisman. The talisman lit up like a torch and the light suddenly increased. The cultivator's expression was a bit hesitant, but when his gaze fell on the corpse under his feet, the hesitation disappeared. The cultivator clenched his teeth and hit the light on his chest. When the light entered his chest, the cultivator's face became inexplicably red.
Then, the cultivator slapped his bag of holding and took out a shuttle-shaped object. He threw it into the air and formed a strange seal with his hand. The cultivator's face became even redder and the shuttle-shaped object turned into a shuttle.
The short and stout cultivator extended his hand and tossed the corpse on the ground onto the shuttle. He himself also leapt onto the shuttle. Immediately after, under the urging of the cultivator's magic power, the shuttle rapidly chased after Xiao Hua. Its speed … was actually a fraction faster than Xiao Hua's!
Xiao Hua gathered his magic power and flew out of the valley. His speed was originally a bit faster than the ice worms. Now that he was desperately escaping, he left behind a lot of ice worms.
However, after flying for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he still hadn't reached the end of the valley. Instead, two different valleys appeared in front of him, each leading to a different place.
"This is bad ~" Xiao Hua's heart was beating fast. With the speed of Li Xiaowen and the others, they must have just passed by. But … if he couldn't find the right direction, wouldn't he be going in the opposite direction?
However, this wasn't the time for Xiao Hua to hesitate. The entrances of the two valleys were the same. He couldn't distinguish anything. Xiao Hua only had a thought and flew to the left.
Xiao Hua followed the ice worms behind him and just entered the valley on the left. The short and fat cultivator's shuttle caught up. The cultivator seemed to be very familiar with the South Color Plain. Seeing Xiao Hua enter the valley on the left, his dark red face showed a trace of pleasant surprise.
However, after the pleasant surprise, he slightly frowned, as if he was afraid of something. The shuttle under his feet also stopped.
The short and fat cultivator's face was gloomy. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he didn't dare to chase into the valley. It seemed like he was making a decision.
The cultivator stood in the air like this for no less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea. When the cultivator's eyebrows relaxed and he was about to take the next step, a series of rumbling sounds came from the valley on the left. Behind the rumbling sounds, there was an even louder sound of tides and waves crashing against the shore.
The short and fat cultivator's face showed panic. Just as he was about to urge the shuttle to turn around, another unforgettable figure came out from the valley. Without hesitation, the cultivator slapped his storage bag and took out the triangular magic tool from before. He pointed his finger and a yellow light flew into the air. It turned into a ring and flew towards the figure …
As for Xiao Hua, he flew into the valley on the left. As soon as he entered, he felt that the valley was a bit colder than outside. His eyebrows and hair quickly formed some white ice flowers. "Could it be that I went the wrong way?"
Xiao Hua was a bit apprehensive. He raised his head and looked around. This valley was the same as the South Color Plain. The walls were covered in a layer of ice. Occasionally, there would be some white flowers on the ice as well as some strange looking spirit herbs.
At this time, the full moon had already set and the moonlight was dim. Everything in the valley was deathly pale.
After flying for a while, the stone walls gradually changed. Many holes appeared. These holes were densely packed and filled the entire stone wall. It looked like the entire stone wall was turning black …
"Wrong, this is definitely wrong!"
Xiao Hua was a bit alarmed. "If this valley was right, I should've caught up with Li Xiaowen and the others. Since I haven't caught up with them, it must be wrong!"
Thinking about this, Xiao Hua wanted to turn around and go back. However, there were still thousands of ice worms chasing him. Xiao Hua had no choice but to dive down and try to go around these ice worms. Just as he flew down about ten feet, an extremely cold and weak divine sense swept over from below him!
"A Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
Xiao Hua was shocked. However, he immediately felt that something was wrong. This divine sense was extremely stiff and emotionless. When it swept over him, it was like a block of ice. "Could it be …" Xiao Hua didn't dare to think further. At the same time, he didn't dare to fly down anymore. Looking at the ice worms blocking his way, he clenched his teeth and took out a stack of fireball talismans. He shook his hand and threw them out.
"Rumble!" A loud sound rang out. It actually exploded into a blank area. Xiao Hua didn't say anything else. He braced himself and wanted to fly away from that blank area. At this moment, with a "hua" sound, a surge of energy came from below him. An extremely cold aura quickly attacked Xiao Hua's surroundings.
"Run!" Xiao Hua was shocked. He felt that his body was about to be frozen stiff. He hurriedly rushed out.
The cold aura swept over like a wind and spread around the valley. After Xiao Hua flew a few feet, he shockingly discovered that ice worms were flying out of the numerous holes in the stone wall. In just a few breaths, the ice worms filled the entire valley. Xiao Hua glanced at them. Wasn't there tens of thousands of ice worms?
Xiao Hua didn't dare to hold anything back. Fireball talismans, fire serpent talismans, fire net talismans, and all the other fire type talismans were thrown out one after another. A series of rumbling sounds rang out, blasting open a blank area in front of the ice worms. Just as Xiao Hua emerged from this blank area, behind him, a giant ice worm king the size of a head and its entire body was transparent. It was several hundred times larger than an ordinary ice worm!
The Ice Worm King had eight tentacles that were as thick as fingers and about a foot long. They swayed slightly in the air, and the Ice Worm King's wings flapped rapidly. Every time they flapped, there would be a sound like a tidal wave …
