At the same time Zhang Ling gave the order, wisps of fire energy surrounded the Twin-tailed Cat, and it let out threatening cries towards the two Ghost Mists.
Watching the two ghost creatures charge over, the Twin-tailed Cat also became enraged, its body instantly growing larger in the firelight, transforming into a giant orange cat the size of a tiger.
Its two tails at the rear rapidly waving, whirling out two massive purplish-red fireballs with a whooshing sound.
Facing the Twin-tailed Cat's attack, the Bull-headed Monster and Blood-red Spider didn't seem to take it seriously, directly engaging without dodging or avoiding. In their eyes, the Twin-tailed Cat was just a fourth-order demon beast, unable to pose any threat to them.
However, the Bull-headed Monster still waved the white bone steel pitchfork in its hand, рассеивая(рассеивая: dispersing) the two purplish-red fireballs.
But the fireballs didn't extinguish; instead, they transformed into a wave of fire that impacted them, and immediately wisps of black smoke rose from the two monsters.
Even so, the Bull-headed Monster naturally wouldn't be suppressed so easily, and with an angry roar, it spewed out a gust of yin and evil cold energy, suppressing the flames on its body.
The Twin-tailed Cat's strength is inferior to these two demon ghosts, but the refined profound Yang fire is a Yang evil spirit fire, which happens to have a great restraining effect on monsters like demon ghosts.
As the two monsters extinguished the flames on their bodies, a buzzing sound came. A green-skinned bag floated in front of Zhang Ling, and a large mass of black and yellow bees surged out from it. The number was as many as a thousand.
These were all Chengdu's earth spirit bees. Under Zhang Ling's command, they all charged towards the two monsters, instantly surrounding them.
In the following time, Zhang Ling commanded a large number of earth spirit bees to besiege the two monsters, while simultaneously using other methods to join the attack.
For a time, intense spiritual power fluctuations spread throughout the tunnel.
After about a quarter of an hour, a loud noise came from the tunnel. A gray shadow flashed by, darting at an extremely fast speed, and instantly disappeared.
Two breaths of time later, Zhang Ling flashed his body, his face gloomy as he looked at the place where the gray shadow disappeared. Now there were many broken places on his clothes, and his image was very bad.
Zhang Ling snorted coldly. He originally thought that with the assistance of several thousand earth spirit bees, he could kill this Bull-headed Monster, but just now this monster directly detonated that Blood-colored Spider to escape.
Not only did he not kill this monster, but he was almost injured. Zhang Ling sighed and returned to the tunnel.
Now is not the time to pursue.
...
Zhang Ling returned to the tunnel where he had been before, looking at a pile of minced meat at his feet. These were the remains of the Blood-colored Spider that had directly exploded.
In the minced meat, the half of the man's body was relatively intact. It was not destroyed, but the skin of his entire body had turned greyish-white, which looked very strange.
Zhang Ling looked at it carefully a few times. Suddenly, he felt that the man's appearance was somewhat familiar. Then he thought of the white jade statue he had found when he first entered this place.
The man's appearance was very similar to that of the statue. How could this be? Could this Bull-headed Monster have some kind of relationship with that statue?
Suddenly, he saw a small crack in the position of the man's forehead, and there seemed to be something inside.
Zhang Ling flicked his finger lightly, and a wisp of spiritual light entered it, instantly pulling out a somewhat incomplete light yellow round bead from it.
This round bead was translucent and had lines on it that looked like runes and natural black lines.
After carefully sensing it, he sensed the Yin evil aura on this round bead, but there were countless openings cracked on this round bead, and the remaining aura inside was already very weak, and it seemed to have been destroyed.
This round bead looked a bit like the inner core of a demon beast, but Zhang Ling was not sure whether it was or not.
However, he still took out a jade box and put the round bead into it, and then left.
He now returned to the tunnel where he had killed the blue spider before. There was nothing but rubble on the ground, and he did not find the spider's body that he had killed before.
Originally, Zhang Ling wanted to let the corpse bear devour the two sections of the blue spider's body, but now it was gone. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the fact that the Bull-headed Monster could release the blood-colored spider, and he had a guess in his mind.
Could the Bull-headed Monster have some special supernatural power that could refine the demon beast's corpse into a clone? Although this idea was a bit absurd, there seemed to be no other explanation.
Zhang Ling shook his head helplessly and didn't think much about it. He took out two recovery spiritual power pills from the storage bag and swallowed them. He was still holding a middle-grade earth spiritual stone and searched for the source of the Yin evil aura again.
As for the Twin-tailed Cat, it was not collected into the spirit beast bag, but followed in front of him, and could form a fighting force in case of danger. After all, in this Yin evil place, the profound Yang fire refined by the Twin-tailed Cat could play a big role.
...
Searching all the way, besides occasionally finding a few black-haired spiders, he did not encounter any other dangers. During this period, he also collected a lot of Yin spirit stones.
When he passed through a corridor again, he found another stone house with a size of more than ten feet. It looked like a cultivator's cave dwelling, but it was covered with spider webs. Obviously, no one had been here for a long time. They were all occupied by those black-haired spiders.
Casually killing a few black-haired spiders, Zhang Ling carefully rummaged in this stone house for a while, and could only see some broken stone platforms, stone tables and other things, and there was nothing useful.
But on the other side of the stone house, there was a circular doorway, which was dark and he didn't know where it led.
It was obvious that the Yin evil energy emitting from the tunnel behind the doorway was the strongest. Zhang Ling thought for a while and decided to enter it to investigate.
First release divine sense to carefully investigate it inside. According to the feedback of divine sense, the space inside seems to be very large.
Every distance on the walls of the tunnel is inlaid with a fist-sized moonstone. It's just that the fluorescence has dissipated due to the long years.
But this obviously reinforced tunnel is particularly eye-catching in this kind of place. On the ground, you can also see bluestone steps that have been divided.
Zhang Ling guessed that this tunnel was not far from the core of this place.
Walking a distance in the tunnel, he found that the direction of the steps began to go down, as if leading to the deepest part of the ground.
Zhang Ling walked inside, and a whooshing cold wind blew, scratching people's faces painfully. The more he went down, the more dense the Yin evil cold air became.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, what quickly walked a few steps, came to a step thirty or so feet below, on this step lay a snow-white rat corpse.
The rat was only the size of a palm, and it had a gray eyeball on its head. Although the rat was dead, the gray eyeball at the center of its eyebrows was wide open, and it was emitting a faint green light.
This is...
