At the same time, streaks of emerald knife light also emerged. The shrunken Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) happened to crash into a patch of knife light. Although it didn't cause much damage, it did slow down its escape speed a bit.
Immediately afterwards, the red tentacles transformed into a large net, descending from the sky with the intention of trapping the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) within.
But suddenly... several loud booms echoed, and a large amount of firelight filled the scene.
This scene happened very suddenly, and the big-headed monster couldn't help but be stunned. In an instant, he discovered countless fist-sized black spheres within the firelight. As they collided with each other, they unleashed intense fire-attribute spiritual light.
Explosions continued to erupt, and waves of violent fire instantly swept through a large area nearby. Many low-level desolate beasts were instantly blasted to death.
The big-headed monster didn't pay attention to these, because he instantly realized that although these flames covered a large area, their power wasn't great. His defensive magical treasure was enough to handle them.
What surprised him, however, was that several black shadows flashed within the flames and disappeared without a trace.
Although it was only for a fleeting moment, the big-headed monster still recognized that it was the illusionary divine ability displayed by the kid who had escaped earlier.
This kid couldn't escape anymore, so why would he suddenly return?
The big-headed monster immediately expanded his spiritual sense, covering an area of dozens of miles nearby, but did not find Zhang Ling's(Zhang Ling: A name) trace.
Even the few black shadows from just now had disappeared without a trace, as if they never existed.
But it wasn't like he didn't find anything. Several black jars were floating outside the firelight, emitting wisps of pink mist, which looked extremely strange.
Suddenly, these jars burst open one after another, scattering a large cloud of powder. As soon as this powder came into contact with the firelight, it ignited, flashing with eerie sparks, and at the same time, thick pink mist billowed out.
This strange mist spread to the surroundings, covering an area of several hundred feet nearby in the blink of an eye. Roars and howls echoed continuously, and all the nearby desolate beasts went berserk, charging over with blood-red eyes.
Seeing this situation, the big-headed monster's expression couldn't help but change slightly. But before he could consider what this was, he quickly turned his head to look at the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle)'s side.
At this moment, the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) had dodged the entanglement of the red tentacles, and its body swayed a few times, beginning to become transparent, as if it was using some kind of stealth-related secret technique.
The big-headed monster's eyes widened, and he quickly opened his mouth and let out a sharp whistle. A black light shot out from his mouth.
The light struck the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle)'s disappearing figure all at once. With a crisp bang, as if the air had been pierced, the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle)'s transparent body was sent flying backwards, disappearing in a flash.
The big-headed monster's cyan face couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he quickly sensed the surroundings, then sensed the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle)'s aura again.
This turtle demon had emerged dozens of feet away. But it disappeared again in a flash.
He was about to chase after it, but he saw that all the rampaging desolate beasts were swarming towards him. The closest few seventh-order desolate beasts were even more so, pouncing and biting with bared fangs and claws.
Get out of the way!
He roared angrily, and with a flash of his blade, he killed seven or eight high-level desolate beasts, but these high-level desolate beasts were not afraid at all, and charged over desperately.
With his high strength, he instantly flew out. Taking a quick look, countless desolate beasts had gathered densely all around.
Just the high-level desolate beasts charging over numbered fifty or sixty. In addition, even further out, circles of low-level desolate beasts were surrounding them.
The desolate beasts that were originally distributed in an area of dozens of miles had all gathered here. In an instant, he was submerged in the desolate beast swarm.
The big-headed monster, as a Nascent Soul(Nascent Soul: a stage in cultivation) cultivator, still took more than ten breaths of time to break out of the beast swarm. But his spiritual sense covered the surroundings, and he could no longer find any trace of the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle).
His spiritual sense immediately spread to an area of a hundred miles, and then he discovered a spiritual power fluctuation dozens of miles south, which disappeared again in a flash.
This person quickly chased after it, but when he got there, it was empty and there was nothing there. He could no longer detect the slightest trace of aura.
"How is this possible? I already used a secret technique to mark the turtle demon. How could it be gone without a trace in such a short time? Even if this demon escaped hundreds of miles away, as long as it didn't escape thousands of miles away in an instant, my secret technique would be enough to sense its trace." The big-headed monster's face was gloomy as he muttered to himself.
He absolutely didn't believe that a turtle demon could escape a hundred miles in such a short time. He continuously released his spiritual sense and carefully searched the vicinity.
Let's talk about Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle). Naturally, it didn't escape to thousands of miles away, not even a hundred miles away.
Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) had already been taken into the Two-Worlds Gourd(Two-Worlds Gourd: a kind of gourd), At this time, Zhang Ling(Zhang Ling: A name) himself was covered with a layer of shapeshifting mud, motionless hiding in a cloud of fog. Even the Thousand Miles Escape Talisman(Thousand Miles Escape Talisman: a kind of talisman) on his body was removed by him.
He didn't dare to use any spiritual power now, just slowly drifting with the clouds.
At this time, his distance from the big-headed monster was actually very close, only thirty miles away, and he could still feel this person's powerful spiritual sense checking back and forth nearby.
Just this cloud of fog where he was hiding, this person's spiritual sense had checked back and forth five or six times. Fortunately, he didn't find his trace, which was thanks to the shapeshifting mud covering his body.
Just now, he lured the desolate beast swarm to this vicinity and immediately hid. Then, he let the second soul(second soul: a cultivation technique) control the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) to directly break into the beast swarm. Sure enough, the big-headed monster followed in without hesitation.
Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) lured this person to shuttle back and forth in the beast swarm, disrupting the entire beast swarm. Finally, shrinking its body was not for escape, but to sell a flaw and attract this person's full attention.
After that, he controlled five clones, threw out thousands of Exploding Flame Fruits(Exploding Flame Fruits: a kind of fruit), turning them into a large wave of fire, and at the same time detonated all the Heavenly Demon Incense(Heavenly Demon Incense: a kind of incense) stored on his body. This made the entire beast swarm even more violent.
Taking this opportunity, Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) hid itself and fled into the distance. After escaping the desolate beast swarm, Zhang Ling(Zhang Ling: A name) directly took the Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) into the Two-Worlds Gourd(Two-Worlds Gourd: a kind of gourd). Naturally, it wouldn't leak the slightest bit of aura.
At this moment, Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle)'s situation wasn't good. Just now, when the big-headed monster saw Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) hiding and trying to escape, he shot out a black light. This attack was strange, actually containing a thick turbid aura, even more pure than the turbid aura that had eroded Su Yue'er(Su Yue'er: a name) before.
Now, the second soul(second soul: a cultivation technique) is controlling Xuan Turtle(Xuan Turtle: Black Turtle) to release a large amount of icy cold air, temporarily sealing itself. After it's truly safe, it won't be too late to resolve this turbid aura.
After all, it's currently in a hidden state. If it accidentally leaks its aura and is detected by the big-headed monster, then there will be no possibility of escape.
Zhang Ling(Zhang Ling: A name) was also extremely nervous, just hiding in the clouds, slowly drifting with the clouds.
In the next hour or so, the big-headed monster's spiritual sense was always searching nearby. Until two hours later, he could no longer feel any spiritual sense power.
However, Zhang Ling(Zhang Ling: A name) was still not relaxing his vigilance, nor did he leave the clouds.
