Zhang Ling looked at this scene in astonishment. A sweep of his divine sense revealed that the tentacled monster in the pit was actually a huge grayish-white sphere.
From the sphere, he sensed a spiritual pressure no less than that of a transformed demon beast, but the spiritual energy it emitted was quite mixed, and he couldn't tell what kind of monster it was for a while.
Such a strange monster was very likely some kind of ancient beast.
The entire monster was nearly two hundred zhang in size, like a mass of grayish-white flesh slumped on the ground. The countless tentacles that had shot up earlier had come from the bottom of the sphere.
It looked like a bizarre tail, flailing randomly and covering half the sky.
While paying attention to the suddenly appearing ancient beast, Zhang Ling changed direction and quickly flew to the other side. He didn't want to fight this powerful ancient beast here.
Not only would it waste time, but looking at the ancient beast's form, it seemed to be a huge insect beast. Such a huge monster spirit insect gave him a dangerous feeling. It was better not to provoke it.
As he quickly left the area, Zhang Ling also left a wisp of his divine sense to observe the giant insect's condition.
The giant insect in the pit seemed to have just awakened, shaking its huge grayish-white body, flailing its countless bizarre tentacles, and making strange gurgling sounds.
As the sound was made, the grayish-white body pulsed like a heart, and a layer of black spiritual light appeared on it in an instant.
The giant insect's body shrank several circles in the spiritual light, and its originally smooth body contracted into circles of fleshy bumps, making it look extremely狰狞.
At the same time, the countless tentacles that protruded waved rapidly, creating a series of cracking sounds in the air.
A large area of airflow was immediately formed, and a strong wind pressure instantly spread in all directions.
At this moment, Zhang Ling had already flown five or six hundred zhang away, and he could still feel a strong pressure blowing on him. A flash of spiritual light appeared on his body, and a layer of yellow shield appeared, resisting the impact.
The giant insect on the ground also seemed to have completely awakened, making an excited strange cry. Its entire body climbed out of the pit, revealing its full appearance.
It turned out that below its grayish-white, fleshy-bump-like body were sections of spider-leg-like claws, densely packed with hundreds of them, making people's scalps tingle.
The scarlet tentacles that shot out came from between these insect legs.
At one end of the giant insect, a round, scarlet head was also revealed. This head was completely insect-like in shape, with many tiny black hairs on it, and a dozen pairs of emerald green compound eyes, emitting a strange spiritual light.
Could it be a Giant Spirit Insect?
This image reminded Zhang Ling of a kind of huge spirit insect recorded in ancient books, the Giant Spirit Insect.
The Giant Spirit Insect is a kind of spirit insect that lives in the deepest part of the ground. It is said to have an extremely long lifespan, longer than that of demon beasts. It is often in a state of hibernation. It generally does not come to the surface.
But once it wakes up, it will devour the lives of a large area nearby. Finally, it sinks back into the ground and continues to sleep.
The Giant Spirit Insect flailed its countless scarlet tentacles, instantly turning into a large expanse of red light. Wherever it passed, the black armored insect swarm within the range was all swept into its mouth, making sizzling chewing sounds.
The two pangolin-like seventh-order demon beasts in the purple mist had already lost their ferocity, trembling all over, and were quickly running towards the other side. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two balls of yellow wind, desperately trying to escape.
With a few swishing sounds, a few red shadows flashed, and the two seventh-order demon beasts were tied into two meat balls, swallowed by the Giant Spirit Insect without the slightest resistance.
After devouring a large number of Black Flame Insects and two demon beasts, the Giant Spirit Insect seemed to be still dissatisfied. The head under its abdomen shook a few times and looked in Zhang Ling's direction.
It let out a shrill scream, and its entire body shot up like a flying stone, crossing a hundred zhang in an instant. With a bang, it landed on the ground, smashing out a huge pit. Then, it bounced up again and chased after him.
Each time the giant insect bounced, it was fast and slow, but each time it bounced, it could cross hundreds of zhang.
Zhang Ling naturally knew that the Giant Spirit Insect had discovered him, and he quickly used his full strength to perform his escape technique and flee quickly.
Rumbling sounds kept coming from behind him, and the Giant Spirit Insect was still chasing closely.
……
In a dense forest, Xuan Gui hid on a lush giant tree, watching the battle before him. A great battle was taking place on a cliff and slope ten miles away.
There was a loud noise and countless angry beast roars. A group of tall black-haired apes were attacking a huge blue bird.
The blue bird had cyan-blue feathers, and several long red-cyan feathers at the tail reflected crimson-golden spiritual light in the sun. Its wings spanned more than thirty zhang when spread out. With rapid flapping, it generated dozens of huge tornadoes, constantly impacting the ground.
Wherever the tornadoes passed, the earth and stones cracked, and the trees and grasses were scraped away.
The blue bird chirped loudly, gathering extremely strong wind-attribute spiritual power throughout its body. The two iron claws under its body were black and shiny, and with a quick impact, they transformed into a large expanse of black wind blades.
The spiritual pressure on this bird was no weaker than that of an eighth-order demon beast, and the aura it emitted was unmatched. Each pounce could shatter the bodies of seven or eight giant apes.
Although its strength was not weak, it had not transformed, and its intelligence did not seem high, proving that this bird was an ancient beast.
On the ground, there were many black-haired giant apes surrounding the blue bird, as many as hundreds of them. Most of them were low-level demon beasts.
However, the twenty or thirty giant apes leading the giant ape clan were exceptionally tall, each being ten zhang high. Their aura was not weak, and they were all high-level demon beasts.
The twenty or so high-level giant apes, united together to besiege the blue bird, could barely defend themselves.
The tallest of the giant apes was like a small mountain. Its fur was snow-white, and it exuded a tyrannical aura. Looking at the thick earthy-yellow spiritual light on its body, it was actually a demon ape with one foot stepping into the transformation stage.
The white ape was the leader of this group of black-haired apes, and it seemed to have low intelligence. While roaring wildly, its two large claws held a long black iron rod. With each wave, a large expanse of black shadows danced.
Each time the blue bird pounced, it was swept away by a large expanse of rod shadows.
But the blue bird was, after all, an eighth-order powerhouse, and its speed was extremely fast. It kept pouncing and killing around the group of giant apes, and gradually the number of giant apes was rapidly decreasing.
In a short while, a large number of low-level black-haired giant apes died, and several giant apes with fifth and sixth-order strength also died under the blue bird's claws, their heads grabbed and killed.
It seemed that this battle was showing a one-sided trend. Before long, this group of giant apes would all be killed.
Xuan Gui glanced at the battlefield over there, and without further delay, his body turned into a faint black shadow and sneaked towards that side.
