A red cloud swept across the tropical rainforest.

From afar, the red clouds kept changing their shapes. When they passed through the woods, the entire forest became bare, without a single leaf.

There were dense creaking sounds all around, which sounded creepy.

That was the grinding sound of insects gnawing.

In front of the red cloud, a small human team was fleeing at full speed, violently moving forward through the woods.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of the strange red cloud behind them.

In fact, the fiery red thing was not a red cloud at all, but a group of powerful beetles.

The beetles appear black on the outside, but when they spread their wings, they reveal a fiery red inner wing feathers.

The fiery red inner wings look as thin as cicada wings and very soft, but they emit a sharp light at all times.

It goes without saying that this beetle has great lethality.

In the tropical rainforest, Chu Ming, Wu Xi, Zhou Mo Tou, Lightning Sect Leader, Feng Wuqing, Wuyazi, and Qi Shenglong fled all the way, but they could not escape the pursuit of the Beetle.

The Beetle's pursuit stopped only when they entered a low rainforest.

Chu Ming and others stood on a rock protruding from the river, looking at the swarm of beetles that were gradually moving away with lingering fear.

The Lightning Sect Master said with lingering fear: "What's going on with these bugs? They look so scary. I almost gave up my old bones here."

Feng Wuqing smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these insects should be the legendary Soul Devouring Beetles. Their shells are extremely hard. Although they are small in size, their attack power is incomparably domineering."

"Although I don't know what these bugs are, I can imagine how terrifying they are. Just like a swarm of ants can kill an elephant, with so many soul-eating beetles here, they will definitely chew us to pieces."

Wuyazi said this with gritted teeth, a hint of fear still lingering in his eyes.

The others were also very nervous and frightened by this group of soul-eating beetles.

During the escape just now, everyone tried to attack this group of soul-eating beetles.

Wu Xi, Qi Shenglong and the others tried to launch sword attacks, but apart from repelling some of the Soul-Devouring Beetles, it did not have much effect.

After being attacked, the Soul-Devouring Beetle can often flip over and fly up again, and its defense is very strong.

Even Chu Ming tried to attack the Soul-Devouring Beetle with the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but the result was similar and it failed to kill the beetle.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have escaped in such a miserable manner.

On the rock, Chu Ming stared at the water in front of him with a serious look, his eyes full of vigilance.

When everyone was paying attention to the retreating figures of the Soul-Devouring Beetles, only Chu Ming was thinking about why those terrible Soul-Devouring Beetles retreated.

We had tried many methods before, but were unable to get rid of these soul-eating beetles.

Why did the other side give up chasing us as soon as we entered this low-lying swamp?

There is probably only one reason for this result.

That is, there is an existence here that scares the Soul-Eating Beetle.

What exactly is it?

Thinking of this, Chu Ming narrowed his eyes, a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and his powerful mental power swept across the entire area like an energy wave.

quiet!

It’s too quiet!

Chu Ming frowned, his mind was already at its peak.

Compared with other tropical rainforests, this place is a little too quiet.

Generally speaking, there would be many insects and small animals in this kind of tropical rainforest. But now, not only was there no sound of insects chirping, there wasn't even the slightest sound of wind.

Chu Ming noticed that the leaves here were motionless, as if everything around him was still.

This is an area of ​​absolute stillness.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Xi stood beside Chu Ming. Seeing that Chu Ming had a serious look on his face, she immediately asked with concern.

Chu Ming shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know why we entered a more dangerous place."

Hearing this, everyone was startled and began to look around hurriedly.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.

The key is that the air pressure here is very low, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

"What kind of place is this? There might be monsters in the water!"

Qi Shenglong said with lingering fear.

He was running the slowest just now and was almost caught up by the Soul-Devouring Beetle. Now he had entered an even more terrifying place, and his psychological endurance was a little bit overwhelmed.

Hearing Qi Shenglong's words, Chu Ming's expression froze.

He had been searching for dangerous factors outside and did not notice the water under his feet.

So, Chu Ming changed direction, and the powerful mental fluctuations spread towards the bottom of the swamp.

At this moment, the space between Chu Ming's eyebrows was like a mental radar, directly using his mental power to explore the underwater world.

As soon as he entered the water, Chu Ming's mental power saw a terrifying scene.

At this moment, a dense group of strange creatures are hidden under the water. Their bodies are transparent and seem to be completely melted into the water, making them difficult to identify with the naked eye.

This is a creature similar to a frog, but slightly larger than a frog. Its body is crystal clear and looks like a piece of exquisite handicraft.

However, judging from the Soul-Devouring Beetle's reaction just now, it can be seen that these transparent frogs should be very powerful, at least creatures at the Soaring Realm.

This time, Chu Ming was a little shocked.

This world is too crazy. There are so many beasts in the air realm.

The strength of the Earth is far inferior to that of the Red Desert Continent.

Chu Ming and others have traveled to many places, and they found that the deeper they went into the Red Wilderness Continent, the denser the spiritual energy inside.

Aura is a special gas containing energy. If a living being continues to breathe air rich in aura, its strength will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, in such a place, any creature you encounter will be a powerful being in the Soaring Realm.

It seems that if humans want to become stronger, they can't just stay in the remote areas like the Golden Grasslands. They have to go deeper.

Chu Ming's mind was tense. He had already noticed that the dense transparent frogs hidden at the bottom of the water had already locked onto the seven people with their aura.

At this time, anyone who reacts excessively will definitely be attacked like a storm.

On top of the boulder, the atmosphere around was a little solemn.

Everyone looked at Chu Ming warily, too frightened to even breathe.

Everyone knew that Chu Ming was exploring the dangers around him, so no one dared to move, for fear of disturbing Chu Ming's actions.

At this moment, Chu Ming's voice suddenly rang in everyone's mind.

"I'll count to three, everyone run together. Remember, jump straight into the air and fly away from here as fast as possible."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and became extremely nervous.

Since Chu Ming said so, it means that there is definitely an extremely terrifying danger hidden here.

At this moment, Chu Ming's voice rang out in everyone's heart:

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"
