The blue sword light flashed incessantly, slaying several more giant centipedes.
It was at this moment that Zhang Ling had the chance to release his divine sense and observe the current situation.
At this moment, the giant stone pillar they were on was surrounded by more than thirty giant centipedes.
These centipedes were entirely black, and their bodies emitted a layer of greyish-black mist, making one's scalp tingle. These centipedes had a pair of translucent wings on their backs, giving them the ability to fly, and they were quite fast.
The sound of wind breaking echoed in his ears, and in addition to these dozen giant centipedes, countless black shadows were surrounding them from further away.
In the blink of an eye, the five of them were surrounded by nearly a hundred two-winged centipedes.
The hissing and strange cries entered their ears.
Making everyone feel a chill down their spines. These centipedes were not ordinary demonic beasts but rather desolate beasts corroded by turbid Qi. Their bodies were mixed with chaotic spiritual power and turbid Qi.
This caused their strength to increase considerably, and each one was no weaker than a second-tier demonic beast. Some were even comparable to fourth-tier demonic beasts.
Being besieged by nearly a hundred desolate beasts with Foundation Establishment strength, even if the five of them were all Golden Core experts, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
Zhang Ling's face was pale, and thick earth spiritual power continuously surged from his body. As the spiritual power within his body rapidly circulated, the spiritual pressure belonging to the Golden Core stage was completely exposed.
Those two-winged centipedes that approached him were all chopped into several pieces by the blue sword light.
At this moment, the blue long sword in his hand was not a magical artifact but a magical treasure.
He had purchased this flying sword from a large shop in Wanxiang City that specialized in selling magical artifacts and treasures, spending 260,000 spiritual stones on it.
It basically used up all the low-grade spiritual stones he had saved up.
Although he already had a defensive magical treasure, the Black Gold Shield, he added another magical treasure to better prepare for this trip to the desolate region, which would allow his strength to be better utilized.
Secondly, having two magical treasures in hand would give him more confidence, and it would also be more difficult for others to see that he was a newly advanced Golden Core cultivator.
After all, everyone on this trip to the desolate region was a Golden Core expert.
If they saw through his weakness, not to mention whether they would try to kill him, the treasures he could get during the treasure hunt would be greatly reduced.
At this moment, the other four were also using their own methods to attack the two-winged centipedes.
To Zhang Ling's left, more than ten zhang away, the Azure Serpent Daoist grinned hideously, and a ten-foot-tall green spiritual energy emerged from his body.
These spiritual energies circled in front of him and transformed into a red-glowing flying fork.
With a tearing sound of metal, the flying fork flashed with spiritual light and pinned several giant two-winged centipedes in place like candied haws.
Then, with a loud bang, the giant centipedes instantly turned into countless pieces of flesh, as if they had been scorched by flames.
The man's two-headed giant python was also released by him, and its two heads each spewed out a ball of crimson flames, forming a wall of fire.
On the other side, Old Long, the old man, couldn't show his joy or anger on his face. His withered fingers held a jade fan, and he waved it forward with flowing green and blue light.
He saw two circles of spiritual energy, one green and one blue, rushing out, then colliding with each other with a muffled bang, merging together, and turning into a cloud of white mist.
As the white mist continued to spread, a layer of ice wind blew within five or six zhang of the person.
The white ice wind rotated rapidly, like a tornado. As soon as the two-winged centipedes rushed into this range, they turned into ice sculptures and fell to the ground.
The two women, Ding Ruozhao and Ye Zimei, who were standing on the other side of Zhang Ling, also had considerable skills.
Ye Zimei held a three-colored treasure pearl in her hand, emitting a layer of three-colored spiritual light. Then, as the spiritual light flickered, two crimson firebirds, each about ten feet in size, flew out of the pearl, constantly circling around the woman.
As soon as the giant centipede approached, it emitted crackling sounds as if it had been fried in oil, and the approaching centipedes directly turned into fly ash.
And Ding Ruozhao, the strongest of them, did not use any magical treasures or artifacts. Instead, a layer of silver-white electric light emerged from her body.
Her hands came together in front of her chest, and then separated, and a silver light thunder ball the size of a fist floated in front of her chest.
Then, the woman flicked her hands continuously, and silver light thunder balls continuously shot out arcs of electricity that were about an inch long.
In the blink of an eye, a silver shimmering area formed around her. The backs of those giant centipedes turned red from being electrocuted, and they exploded directly, scattering large pieces of black blood.
Although the attacks of the five people could instantly kill these two-winged centipedes, these centipedes were not ordinary demon insects but desolate beasts corroded by Yellow Jade turbid Qi.
The most terrifying thing about desolate beasts is that they have no intelligence. Once they have identified a target, they will fight to the death.
Even the lowest-level demonic beasts or ordinary wild beasts know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When they encounter these five Golden Core experts, they can feel their power, and they will generally choose to retreat and not provoke them.
Desolate beasts have no such concerns, so they are often three times more difficult to deal with than demonic beasts of the same level.
This is the most terrifying thing about desolate beasts. What's more, looking at hundreds of two-winged centipedes, it is a type of strange insect that lives in groups.
In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea had passed, and the two-winged centipedes that everyone had killed were already over a hundred, but what made their faces look ugly was that the number of centipedes outside not only did not decrease, but instead increased a lot.
This situation was obviously not normal, and they didn't stay in place for long. Under Ding Ruozhao's call, they killed the two-winged centipedes while quickly flying towards the distant mountains.
After a quarter of an hour, they were only a mile or two away from the mountains in the distance.
Standing in mid-air, they could see some buildings such as palaces and pavilions in the mountains ahead.
This distance can be crossed by Golden Cores in about ten breaths.
But green gas filled the front, and a black centipede only three or four zhang long blocked their way.
This centipede was different from other two-winged centipedes, it had green patterns on its body.
The patterns on its black armor formed faces of emerald green, looking ferocious and terrifying.
This monster looked terrifying, but naturally, this alone would not scare Zhang Ling and the others.
The reason why they stopped was naturally that the strength of this monster was actually a desolate beast with sixth-tier strength.
Gaga...!
The black centipede screamed strangely. Its cry was like the moan of a dying person, making one's scalp tingle when heard in the ear.
As the black centipede screamed strangely, three pairs of scarlet eyes were wide open on its flat head. Several long whiskers shook quickly at Zhang Ling and the others.
Seeming to be looking for prey.
Suddenly, the two black and red shiny back armors behind the centipede's head stood up, then changed in a layer of black light, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into four gray-green translucent wings, and at the end of the wings, some red lines were also displayed.
Woo woo!
The black centipede flapped its wings, and a layer of black gas flowed on the surface of its body, and the original green patterns on its back armor instantly seemed to be filled with spiritual power, and gradually became flushed.
"What is this monster."
