The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 209
Chapter 209 Crisis Lurks Everywhere
After two hours of hard work, they finally walked out of that dangerous place and entered the next dense forest.
“This Ancient Wilderness Land is simply too terrifying!” The Blood Eagle Altar Master couldn’t help but sigh. Five of his subordinates had died, and most of the remaining were injured. The losses were extremely heavy.
One had to know that these subordinates were all elites from his Blood Sea Sect’s branch altar. Loyal subordinates had been nurtured with great difficulty. One died and one was missing. How could they not feel heartache?
Most of the casualties were Houtian martial artists. As for Xiantian experts, they didn’t receive much damage. Such dangers could not endanger their lives.
Mr. Gui Yi frowned, “Altar Master Blood Eagle, this place is a remnant left behind by the Yin Yang Demon Emperor. It must be filled with dangers. The more you get inside, the more dangerous it will become. If you can’t even endure the danger just now, I suggest you let all of your subordinates go back, so as not to cause any more casualties.”
Hearing this, Li Qing’s heart tightened. If he went back, he wouldn’t be able to follow him.
The Blood Eagle Altar Master thought for a moment and shook his head, “We have already reached this point. We can’t retreat any further. If we retreat, it will only be even more dangerous. Let them continue to follow us.”
Having reached this point, it would be dangerous to go on, but wouldn’t it be dangerous to go back? It would be better if he continued to walk forward bravely. Perhaps he could find such a small opportunity.
Since the other party had insisted repeatedly, Mr. Gui Yi no longer tried to persuade him. After resting for a while, they continued into the depths of the forest.
Not long after they left, they suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
“This is” Everyone stopped.
In the depths of the forest, a large swarm of bees actually flew out. It was like a huge red cloud that covered the sky and covered the sun as it swept over.
“This is the Scarlet Fire Bee. What a large number. Everyone, be careful!” Mr. Gui Yi shouted.
Many Xiantian experts attacked one after another. Powerful attacks continuously struck out, instantly knocking down countless Scarlet Flame Bees. Unfortunately, there were too many of them. They were densely packed, like sweat that flowed endlessly, and they wouldn’t be able to kill them for a while.
In the blink of an eye, the endless Scarlet Flame Bees completely drowned the group of people. Xiantian experts could still rely on their protective true essence, but Houtian realm cultivators were not so lucky. Soon, they were surrounded by a large number of Scarlet Flame Peaks. No matter how they killed them, they would not be able to kill them all.
These Scarlet Fire Bees ferociously pounced towards these people, continuously launching attacks. Their bodies were as red as fire, as if they could burn True Qi.
Although they wouldn’t be able to injure them for a while with the protection of true qi, there were simply too many Scarlet Fire Bees. They were as dense and endless as if they were pouncing on the heavens and covering the earth.
Soon, someone was unable to hold on, and their true energy was broken.
“Ah–”
A blood-robed man let out a miserable scream, his entire body on fire, turning into ashes.
“Come to my side, I’ll protect you!” The Blood Eagle Altar Master shouted.
The crowd of blood-robed men immediately arrived beside the Blood Hawk Altar Master. The Blood Eagle Altar Master hurriedly opened a True Essence Qi shield and covered all of his subordinates.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
Scarlet Fire Bees continuously collided with the True Essence Qi Shield, then bounced back, directly shook to death, and fell to the ground.
Under the assault of countless Scarlet Fire Bees, the True Essence Qi Shield was on the verge of collapse. The Blood Hawk Altar Master struggled to maintain it, and the blood light on his body surged. In the end, he managed to persevere without breaking it.
The rest of the Innates were gloating as they watched this scene. They felt that it was a bit funny. They didn’t understand why the Blood Hawk Altar Master had to bring these subordinates in. It was simply a burden.
After an hour of fighting, the Scarlet Fire Bee was finally wiped out. Everyone was sweating profusely and consuming a lot of energy.
Fortunately, Xiantian experts were able to communicate with the heavens and the earth. Spiritual Qi continuously flowed into their bodies through the apertures and acupoints in their bodies. Their recovery ability was extremely strong, so they did not exhaust their True Essence.
After this battle, two more blood-robed men died. The Blood Eagle Altar Master’s heart couldn’t help but drip with blood. Why did all of my subordinates die?
Li Qing also felt that something was wrong. If all the other blood-robed people died and he was the only one left alive, then he would definitely be discovered by others. Hopefully, his luck wouldn’t be too bad.
After stopping to rest for a while, they continued forward. It could be predicted that there would definitely be a lot of dangers during the next journey.
Not long after advancing, a blood-red vine quietly extended out from the ground and aimed at a blood-robed man who walked past it, shooting out lightning!
“Pu!”
The blood-robed man was caught off guard, and his protective true energy was pierced through like thin paper. The red vines pierced into his thigh, and countless tiny roots pierced into his flesh, and he began to suck blood crazily.
“Ah–”
The man let out a heart-wrenching scream. His body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Red blood veins covered the vines, like blood vessels. It looked ferocious and terrifying.
The originally arm-thick vine had absorbed so much blood, as if it had eaten and drank enough, and quickly swelled up.
“Not good, it’s a vampire vine!” Everyone was shocked. He felt that in this primeval forest, there were dangers everywhere, and even plants could come out to harm him.
The Blood Eagle Altar Master’s eyes turned red as he roared. He immediately slashed out with his sword and turned into a streak of blood light, cutting the vine apart.
He grabbed the broken vine and pulled it off this person’s body. However, as the vine was pulled out, it had already penetrated deep into his flesh and blood. It was pulled out along with his flesh and blood, turning his flesh and blood blurry.
That person let out a miserable scream. He was already on the verge of death, but now, he had suffered such injuries. With a tilt of his head, he died.
The Blood Eagle Altar Master’s expression was extremely ugly as he said, “This place is truly too strange! It’s not suitable for us to stay here for long. Let’s go.”
The crowd didn’t dare to neglect, and they unleashed their movement techniques and ran deeper into the forest.
“It’s too terrifying. I thought that I would have an opportunity to follow you in, but in the end, it’s such a dangerous place. I don’t have good opportunities, but death opportunities are everywhere!”
“Stop complaining. At this point, we can’t go back. We can only forcibly move forward.”
On the way, a few blood-robed men muttered softly. Li Qing laughed secretly when he heard this.
…
After a hard day’s advancement, they encountered countless dangers on the road. They finally arrived at the destination of this trip-the center of the Misty Forest.
In this place, the trees weren’t as luxurious as they were outside, appearing to be sparse, in contrast to the primeval forest when they came.
Along the way, they must have encountered many dangers. Fortunately, they had become much more cautious. However, there weren’t many casualties. Two blood-robed men had died, and a few others had been injured.
Everyone stood outside and stared for a while.
“Let’s go. Let’s go in.” Mr. Gui Yi said.
Walking inside, he felt as if he had entered a world of black and white. Between the heavens and the earth, there were black and white gases everywhere.
“This is the Yin Yang Qi that is emitted. It is the manifestation of the Laws of the Yin Yang Grand Dao, affecting everything here.” Mr. Gui Yi said in a deep voice.
This Yin Yang Qi was not dangerous. It was similar to spiritual energy. Other than absorbing it with a special technique, it was useless for others to collect it.
Everyone walked a distance forward, and a strange place appeared in front of them.
In front of him was a peculiar terrain that looked like a whirlpool, surrounded by long mountains, like a spinning river converging towards the center.
