Talisman Emperor
Chapter 180 – Facing Danger in Forbidden Areas
Two months later.
The figure stood upright like a spear on a towering tree, and his gaze looked far to the end of the ocean of luxurious and boundless trees with tightly knitted eyebrows together and a heavy mood.
This figure was naturally Chen Xi. During these two months, he had experienced several tens of desperate battles, and almost every day was passed by fighting and killing demonic beasts. Although he could not be said to be extremely dangerous, this type of frequent battles and assassinations caused his combat experience to increase even more, and he was already able to exert the entire might of the Golden Hall Realm.
At this moment, his long hair was hanging loosely on his shoulder, his figure was even thinner and extraordinary, he said, and his pair of deep and clear eyes sometimes flickered with a sharp and sharp trace of light that made him appear extremely cold and murderous, causing the others to not dare to approach him.
Exactly what is this place? The spirit energy from heaven and earth was abundant, yet I actually could not fly in the air? Chen Xi jumped down from the top of the tree, and her frown deepened as she looked at everything around her.
This place looked like a very old and vast ancient forest, and every corner of it was filled with spirit energy from heaven and earth that was excessive to the extreme. These spirit energies were dense to the point of turning into strands and threads of milky white mist, and they floated around to cause the surrounding scenery to be faintly visible, as if it was just an illusion.
Moreover, even the most ordinary weeds among the plants in this place contained abundant spirit energy, had extremely large leaves and thick roots, which were very thick, and they are over ten times larger than the weeds that are usually seen. Chen Xi had once seen the most ordinary orchid actually grow to over 30 meters tall, and it immediately gained intelligence.
All of this was unimportant, the important thing was that this ancient forest was covered by the corpses and bones of wild beasts, and there was no lack of some extremely formidable demon beast skeletons among them, it caused it to become extremely frightening and a tragic scene.
Overall, this was a forest with an overwhelming amount of spirit energy and flourishing plants, yet hidden behind its beautiful appearance was ferocity, brutality, and deadly killing intent!
“This should be a restricted area, or it might have been set up by an expert long ago. As long as the spirit energy of heaven and earth did not dissipate, the restrictions in its place would be able to circulate forever. I'm afraid we're trapped in it now. '' Ling Bai nodded as he spoke, yet his expression was much more relaxed than Chen Xi's.
"If I had known earlier, I would have had to travel through the sky. "Chen Xi sighed.
“Because we're here, we might stick around and make the most of the best. Could it be that you did not notice that there were many precious treasures of heaven and earth growing here? There were even many that had been extinct for a long time, such as the Purpleshade Dragonmist Herb, Clouding Divine Ironwood. This place is just a natural treasure! If we don't loot it hard, then we'll really let ourselves down. '' Ling Bai smirked.
"Alright, we'll get together when we go. '' Chen Xi was very touched as well. The spirit energy here was dense to the point of turning into mist, and the spirit herbs and spirit plants developed within it would naturally contain some existences that were treasures of heaven and earth. Not only could they be exchanged for spirit liquids, they could also be used for themselves, and gather them to kill two birds with one stone.
Being inside the forbidden area caused them to be unable to escape, causing Chen Xi and Ling Bai to already have to retreat, and they could only continue advancing. Along the way, they would gather the rare materials they saw, and they moved forward not quickly or slowly, therefore for the sake of preventing accidents from happening because their speed was too fast. After all, the ground here was covered in the bones of demonic beasts, and there was definitely a reason for their deaths.
After moving forward around the time to burn the incense, the two of them finally had a new discovery. The place they stopped was actually in the cave fissure!
Above them were endless pitch-black rocks, beneath them was a ground covered in strange jagged rocks, and it was as if they were deep underground with a completely dim and cold environment.
In front of them was a gap that could accommodate one person to pass through, and it was very deep. A cold wind carrying pure and thick spirit energy scattered from him, but there were also traces of death aura and thick blood.
There's concept!
Chen Xi could not help but feel a trace of excitement, as the presence of the draft showed that this gap should be connected to the outside world.
"Chen Xi, we have to be a little careful. The aura of death emanating from that crack was unusual! '' Ling Bai's expression was serious as he spoke. He cultivated the Sword Nirvana Dao which was neither death nor rebirth and was completely clean, causing it to become extremely sensitive to an aura like this.
Chen Xi nodded and held his sword in his hand before walking into the crack. The more he walked, the stronger the concept was, and in the end, Chen Xi had no choice but to circulate his True Essence to withstand the frightening might of the draft, causing his expression to become solemn as well. After all, he had comprehended the complete Wind Dao insight, yet was actually unable to walk freely through this gap, and this was simply an unbelievable incident!
"Wait on! This is ... Very Large Iron Weight Balance! ”Ling Bai suddenly exclaimed in shock, and he jumped off Chen Xi's shoulder to practically lie on the ground as his hand held tightly onto the pitch-black stone.
This stone that Ling Bai referred to as the Great Balance of Heavy Iron was only the size of a goose egg and was completely smooth, and it was like a round stone that was commonly seen, yet Chen Xi could not help but feel instantly curious when she saw Ling Ling's appearance which was as if she had obtained a precious treasure. Could this thing be a rare treasure as well?
"What's this?" Chen Xi crouched down and stretched out her hand to grab it. However, to his surprise, he was actually unable to pick up the inconspicuous little stone!
Heavy!
Chen Xi exerted an enormous effort before finally being able to pick up this stone-like metal. At that moment it entered his hand, as if he was holding a small mountain that weighed 50,000 kg, and that caused him to have no choice but to utilize his Shaman Energy before being able to firmly grasp it in his hands.
The weight of this Great Balance of Heavy Iron had surpassed all the metals that Chen Xi had seen, and only this aspect was sufficient to be referred to as a rare treasure.
"This "Great Balance Weight Irony was the material used to refine heaven-ranked Magic Treasures, and it was extremely valuable. Don't think it's small, if it's mixed into a flying sword, it will at least cause the power of the flying sword to increase drastically by 20%! "Ling Bai jumped up to descend into Chen Xi's palm before seeing it as he shook his head and sighed. "Unless I reach Rebirth Realm, otherwise, I can't eat it now. Unfortunately, what a pity. "" Eat? "Chen Xi's heart trembled. If this treasure was eaten, it would be a huge loss! Chen Xi hurriedly flipped her hand to instantly get rid of the Iron Heavy Deep Balance, and then she swept the ground with her gaze. Unfortunately, he did not see the Heavy Balance anymore.
“Let's go, there might be more magical treasures inside. '' Chen Xi laughed with a hint of anticipation before proceeding to go deeper.
However, Chen Xi did not walk for long before stopping abruptly, and Ling Bai said in surprise and bewildered, "What's the matter?"
"There's something approaching ..." Chen Xi had just spoken when his expression suddenly became a little gloomy. “Sial, seems to have noticed us. What incredible speed! ”
By the time he finished speaking, Ling Bai's disciples suddenly shriveled, and he firmly locked onto the black dot that quickly enlarged forward.
Hurry along!
The speed of this thing was like a bolt of lightning as it quickly appeared in front of them, and then suddenly twisted its wings to a stop without the slightest sign. From extreme speed to extreme silence, it happens in an instant, and conflicting feelings elicit a powerful visual impact.
"Damn it! This was actually the Snowshadow Butterfly! ”Ling Bai's expression darkened and became confused and irritated, yet his voice contained a trace of deep fear.
Chen Xi did not understand what the Snowshadow Butterfly was really about, but her incomparably terrifying speed instead caused her nerves to instantly become extremely tense.
Whooshing sound!
At almost the same time, a cold light appeared where he was standing.
Chen Xi was immediately shocked in her heart, if not for her soul being strong enough, and she had always been wary of this little thing, she might have lost her life on the spot at that moment before. Because the place that the cold light passed by earlier was where his throat had been!
After leaving the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect and entering the depths of this forest for two months, it was already extremely rare for a demonic beast to bring such a threat to him. However, at this moment, this little creature called the Snowshadow Butterfly by Ling Bai had an extremely fast speed, even surpassing the speed of sound, and it was even a little faster than when he was running the Divine Windwing Flight with all his strength!
Swooshes!
A cold light shot out explosively once more, and it flashed right at Chen Xi's neck. The bone-chilling sharp killing intent caused his hair to stand upright, and he once again lost track of the Snowshadow Butterfly.
Until now, he had actually still not seen the appearance of the Snowshadow Butterfly clearly!
Whooshing sound!
Ling Bai attacked, his 10cm figure instantly turned into a wisp of dazzling golden light that slashed onto the spot before Chen Xi's eyes.
Ding!
When a sharp ear piercing the sound of a collision reverberated, Chen Xi felt a streak of spark light up in front of her eyes, and it pierced her eyes to the point of not being able to keep her open. At this moment, he was already sweating coldly due to his shock.
Ding! Dong! Stick up! Clangs!
Ling Bai who had turned into the Seventhgold Swordbamboo moved freely like a lightning strike and emitted a bright light that shot out from his entire body, but his speed was not even able to match the Snowshadow Butterfly, either, cause danger signs to appear instantly .
After Ling Bai absorbed the Six-Winged Blood Dragonbat's body, his current strength was already the same as that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator. However, at this moment, he seemed to be in a miserable state, and it caused Chen Xi to not dare look down on the Snowshadow Butterfly and as if she was facing a great enemy.
These cracks can only allow a way for one person, the space is narrow and narrow, and for the sake of making it not affect the battle, he said, Chen Xi executed the Grand Astral Palm immediately to slap hard and grab towards the rocks on both sides .
It's thundering! It's thundering!
Under the incomparably powerful Grand Astral Palm, the surrounding stone walls instantly turned into rubble as dust rose in the clouds. In an instant, the location Chen Xi was at had been opened to become a 300-meter space. But the way back is already completely closed because it is full of debris.
At the same time, Chen Xi's unprecedented mind was concentrated when the vast energy of his heavenly Perception covered up as he tried his best to search for the lumps of shadow that were hard to catch.
Perhaps it was because his mind was concentrated, or perhaps was under a peril, Chen Xi's heavenly Perception energy was actually barely able to keep up with the speed of this Snowshadow Butterfly.
At this moment, he clearly saw that this Snowshadow Butterfly was only the size of a palm and was completely as white as snow, its wings were thin to almost translucent, and the tip of its wings was sharp like blades and covered with a metallic luster. A pair of fine, hair-like antennae swayed lightly as his figure disappeared rapidly like a ghost.
His speed was really too fast!
Even if Chen Xi could barely keep up with his speed, he was still unable to attack it, because this Snowshadow was just a king with incredible speed.
Chen Xi did not dare to hesitate in the slightest, and in reality, the situation did not allow him to hesitate in the slightest. This Snowshadow Butterfly was able to strike for several tens of time as every breath of time passed, and the level of attacks like this already greatly threatened the lives of Ling Bai and himself.
"Dui Sword of Marsh!" Instantly, countless cold sword shadows formed as the sharp sword energies crossed horizontally and vertically to form an image. In the image, swamps covered the entire area, slowly flowing as they emitted a slow and thick glue-like strand of energy that caused everything to slow down and become sluggish.
The sky, space, surroundings, everything on the scene seemed to have fallen into the marshes, glued together and slowed down, and as long as one fell into it, it seemed to have fallen, that person would definitely be chopped into the void by the countless sword lights.
The Dui Trigram represented Marsh, and the Dui Sword of Marsh slowed everything down with the sticky energy of the water, causing others to seem to fall into the swamp and unable to fight freeing or fighting against it, and in the end, they will face annihilation .
Under his will to live, Chen Xi's sword attack had already used all of his strength without holding back in the slightest, and the entire space was filled with sword images reflecting the swamp.
Instantly, the figure of the Snowshadow Butterfly appeared in the sky, seemingly having been grabbed by a formless hand, and it caused its speed to decrease greatly. It seemed to be extremely frightened, yet his pair of eyes instead emitted an extremely ferocious and fierce gaze.
Whooshing sound!
The sound of light rang out, and then the Snowshadow Butterfly was already torn apart and scattered all over the ground by Ling Bai.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes, and both of them had a feeling of fear still lingering in their hearts.
“We ended up killing this disgusting little creature. '' Ling Bai let out a long sigh as he flew to the ground and took out a pair of transparent wings covered with a metallic luster, and then he smiled. “Snowshadow butterfly is a primordial variant. In the Top 100 Poisonous Insect Chart, it was the only insect without poison, yet its existence was outstanding which ranked 39th. Its own strength was not strong, yet its speed was extremely fast, and it was called a shadow killer amongst ferocious beasts. All of this was due to this pair of wings, and this was an extremely rare treasure with immeasurable value! ”
"The demon beast ranked number 39 is already so formidable?" Chen Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with slight difficulty. He really could not imagine how formidable a poisonous insect ranked first was.
Ling Bai nodded, and then he seemed to realize something and spoke as he stared blankly. “I forgot to tell you something. ”
“Speak. ”
"The Snowshadow butterfly .. is a demonic beast that lives in groups!"
