Chapter 56 Mengde's Insect Escape Technique Bombardment! [New book, please read!]
rustling...rustling...
Han Li, standing beneath the sea of insects, subconsciously looked up and was slightly taken aback as he watched countless raindrops fall from the sky.
"It's... raining...?" The moment Han Li raised his hand to touch the raindrops, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately took out his magic shield to protect his head, but even so, some green spots, signs of poisoning, appeared on Han Li's body!
"It's that kind of strange poison that can seal magic power and divine sense again!" Han Li took out a thick robe from his storage bag and put it on to avoid direct contact between his body and the poisonous rain. Only then did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked up at the sky with a solemn expression!
Han Li was now almost certain that the disciples of the Seven Sects had completely courted death; the Mosquito Daoist hiding in the shadows had not attacked them at all! Otherwise, with just this one move of poisonous rain, the disciples of the Seven Sects who were defending the evacuation point could have been completely wiped out if they hadn't been careful!
"The battle ahead is indeed related to Mosquito Taoist!" Although the poisonous rain was suspected of being a clearing operation, Han Li was even more certain that Mosquito Taoist was ahead!
While Han Li hesitated about whether to continue forward, Feng Yue and his companion, three miles away, were caught off guard by the sudden poisonous rain. When large green poisonous spots appeared on their bodies, they realized that they might have been ambushed!
"What?! Where is she?!" Just as the two Tianque Fortress cultivators, who had been reduced to only two by Yunxi, looked towards the direction of Yunxi, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, they discovered that Yunxi, who should have been unconscious and dying, had disappeared without a trace!
In the sea of insects, thousands of strong, crimson mosquitoes grabbed Yunxi's clothes and forcibly dragged her deeper into the insect sea...
The two cultivators from Tianque Fortress had solemn expressions. They had paid such a heavy price, and if Yunxi escaped again, they would most likely face severe punishment from their sect when they returned.
"Chase!" Feng Yue, who was not in good condition, and another Tianque Fortress cultivator followed the blood trail left by Yunxi and soon saw Yunxi being dragged away by the spirit mosquito in the distance!
"She's there! Wait, what's that?!" Feng Yue was overjoyed when he saw Yunxi's body, but then his face darkened because he vaguely saw a black-robed figure appearing and disappearing in the sea of insects in front of Yunxi's body!
The black-robed figure opposite only glanced at the two from Tianque Fortress, then instantly threw out the blood talisman in his hand, which transformed into a Bagua symbol!
Feng Yue and his companion, who were about to launch an attack, had only rushed halfway forward when they suddenly discovered that the surrounding swarm of insects had suddenly erupted in terrifying flames!
Having barely escaped the terrifying flames, they discovered that countless green blood swords were flying towards them in an instant!
"Poisonous!" The moment Feng Yue and his companion shattered the green blood sword with their magical artifacts, they realized something was wrong and immediately shouted!
However, the attack from the swarm did not end. As one Source Blood Rune after another flew into the swarm, countless fire spells and poison spells were continuously released, using the swarm as a consumable resource, and rained down on the two of them as if they were free!
While Feng Yue and his companion were busy dealing with the swarm of insects that were attacking insanely, Meng De, dressed in black robes, took a moment to check on Yun Xi, who had been carried back to his side by the spirit mosquitoes. He glanced at the terrifying hole in Yun Xi's dantian, his expression calm, and then took out the Green Bee Sword. He gently pierced the arm of the unconscious Yun Xi and silently recited the antidote incantation. The Green Bee Sword then unleashed a magical attraction, drawing out the toxins from Yun Xi's body that had been affected by the Nine Nether Poison Rain.
"..." Looking at Yunxi's terrible condition, Mengde remained silent. He didn't know if Yunxi could be saved.
At this moment, Mengde had almost fully understood Yunxi and Qingli's entire plan.
From the moment Mengde entered Qingling Peak, Qingling Fairy had already met with misfortune; her claim of seclusion was merely an excuse. Therefore, it was from that time that Qingli began preparing to break through to the Core Formation Realm, striving to regain access to the only insect cultivation lineage of Spirit Beast Mountain—Qingling Peak—without causing any turmoil.
At this time, Yunxi, who was suspected to be from the same family as Qingli, became the executor of Qingli's plan.
Although it is unknown how Qingli learned that the Blood Forbidden Land possessed the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Mushroom, it is certain that Yunxi had been laying the groundwork for her participation in the Blood Trial.
Meng De was certain that the Golden-backed Demon Mantis, which had single-handedly fought five peak Qi Refining experts and ended up killing two and seriously injuring one, was definitely not one that Yunxi had bred herself.
Because... the Golden-backed Demon Mantis, as a strange insect that is half insect and half demon, does indeed grow much faster than ordinary demon beasts, but... it shouldn't have been able to cultivate a super individual that was almost at the level of a level two demon beast in less than three years...
So, that golden-backed mantis belongs to... Qingli.
The so-called Golden-backed Demon Mantis eggs were actually just a pretext... a pretext for Yunxi to bring a super Golden-backed Demon Mantis into the Crimson Forbidden Land. And Mengde was... a link in Qingli and Yunxi's plan.
Why Mengde?
On the one hand, the source blood mosquitoes that Mengde raised at that time were indeed quite amazing; on the other hand, Mengde was the only... newly initiated disciple of Qingling Peak.
This is why Mengde entered the sect but did not find a master, did not know where to learn magic, and did not even have some necessary sect missions.
Just as Yunxi often said, he was lucky... He joined Qingling Peak at a special juncture, becoming a new disciple whom no one on Qingling Peak had any reason to teach...
"If it weren't for the attitudes of the other six sects,... even level two demonic insects might appear..." Meng De realized that he didn't have any good healing pills on him, so he had to feed Yun Xi a few to stabilize her condition.
The reason Qingli didn't give Yunxi a more powerful trump card was mainly because of an unspoken rule among the seven sects: to prevent the intensity of conflicts among disciples within the Crimson Forbidden Land from exceeding expectations.
High-grade magic artifacts and ordinary mid-grade talismans are already the highest level of understanding the seven sects can accept. At least these two items are theoretically still obtainable for Qi Refining disciples. But level-two demonic beasts... that's too much, and they're not easy to obtain. A single peak level-one Golden-backed Demonic Mantis is already the limit... If Qing Li were to provide a few more, it might even lead to the Spirit Beast Mountain being ostracized by the six sects, and they might use this as an excuse to force a significant price to be paid, otherwise they'd be barred from participating in the subsequent Blood Forbidden Land trials...
If the seven sects do not impose restrictions on this, the intensity of the conflict in the Blood Forbidden Land Trial will only increase, just like an arms race, and in the end no one will benefit.
According to the original plan, several high-grade magic artifacts, several mid-grade talismans, and a level one peak golden-backed demon mantis capable of single-handedly defeating at least two or three Qi Refining Peak cultivators were enough to allow Yunxi to thrive in the Crimson Forbidden Land.
But no one expected that Feng Yue's shout from Tianque Fortress would directly expose the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Fungus, attracting everyone to hunt down Yunxi...
