Chapter 148: Strange Black Water, Wrath of Thunder (4,000)
Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian divided the Fragrant Jade Heart Lotus. When they were about to leave, they suddenly found that the four people who had left had come back.
Behind the four people, there was a large group of Zerg monsters.
The number of Zerg monsters is so dense that it covers the sky and the sun, and their sharp mouthparts are extremely terrifying.
Once caught up, even the protective spiritual power of a strong person in the Tribulation Realm will not last long.
Once the protective spiritual power is broken, it will be eaten up almost instantly, without even a bone left.
After just a quick glance, Lai Yang felt like his trypophobia was about to set in.
Seeing this scene, Lan Qingxian's pretty face changed, and her tone was a little anxious. She said in a voice transmission: "It's a swarm of insects! They want to divert the trouble to someone else. Let's go quickly."
"My two fellow Taoists, help!" someone shouted.
Lan Qingxian and Lai Yang ignored them and turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Save you? You must be joking. Only a fool would care about you.
After a long time, the two finally escaped the attack of the passing insect swarm.
Lan Qingxian couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, her hair looked a little messy, and she was a little confused.
It seemed as if she, a powerful person at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, was fake. Ever since she entered the Path to Immortality, she felt dangers everywhere that threatened her fatally.
"No wonder less than 10% of the people who leave the Immortal Road alive each time. This Immortal Road is extremely dangerous and it is almost impossible to guard against it." Lan Qingxian couldn't help but speak.
"Indeed." Lai Yang nodded.
He wasn't afraid of the bugs, he just felt disgusted by them.
Not only did the bugs look disgusting, but the liquid was also sticky and highly corrosive, and he didn't want to dirty his sword.
With Lai Yang's current physical condition, even if he stood there and let them bite him, they might not be able to bite him.
The invincible body at the peak of the Tribulation Realm is no joke.
Unless a being above the immortal realm appears, no matter how many living beings come, they cannot be his match.
He has invincible defense in the same realm, abnormal spiritual combat power, endless physical strength, and terrifying life recovery ability. He also masters the sword intent that has reached the pinnacle. He is definitely a hexagonal warrior.
"Where have we been?" Lai Yang released his spiritual sense and couldn't help but wonder.
However, Lai Yang soon discovered that his spiritual awareness was actually restricted, and he was slightly shocked.
"Master, there is something strange here. My spiritual sense is suppressed." Lai Yang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Lan Qingxian immediately released her spiritual sense. It was unbelievable that even her spiritual sense could only expand a few dozen miles. To her, this was no different from being blind.
With a perception range of dozens of miles, for strong men at their level, it would take less than a moment to make a move.
"If it is true, this space can actually suppress my spiritual power." Lan Qingxian's expression was slightly solemn.
But now that we're here, if we go back the same way, who knows if the insect swarm will appear again, which would be equally dangerous.
They can only move forward now and cannot retreat.
Lai Yang discovered that the surrounding trees were obviously much thicker than before, with more luxuriant branches and leaves, and lush greenery, and it seemed as if they had life.
Wait, it can't be really alive?
Lai Yang subconsciously turned on the system's detection function.
In an instant, numerous panels appeared in front of Lai Yang.
【Tree Monster】
[Realm: Sixth Realm, Fourth Level]
[Spiritual Root: Wood Spiritual Root]
[Qualification: Level 7]
(The following is omitted)
Oh shit!
Dryads, so many dryads!
They are all great monsters above the sixth realm.
Lai Yang didn't notice any clues at all. If it weren't for the system detection, they would have been ambushed by these tree monsters.
What a terrifying camouflage ability! When they are not moving, they look no different from ordinary trees. Don't take them lightly at all.
Lai Yang immediately sent a voice message to Lan Qingxian to remind him, "Sect Master, I want to tell you something. Don't be nervous. We are surrounded by a group of tree monsters above level six."
Lan Qingxian remained calm, but was shocked. He asked in a voice transmission, "What? Are you sure?"
"Sure, I have my own way of distinguishing them. There are fewer tree monsters on the left, so we will break out over there later."
Lan Qingxian believed in Lai Yang's judgment and nodded silently without saying anything more.
The two of them walked to the left in tacit understanding without changing their expressions. Lai Yang had been turning on the system detection function. Then he discovered that these tree monsters had actually moved secretly and formed a strange trap to trap them here, as if they had no intention of letting them leave alive.
"We are trapped." Lai Yang's face darkened.
Lan Qingxian was already alert in her heart, and now she also saw some clues.
Lan Qingxian felt that the space around him seemed to be constantly changing. They had been walking for a long time, but seemed to be going in circles all the time.
Lan Qingxian was not good at breaking the formation, and her deep and beautiful eyes subconsciously looked at Lai Yang: "Do you have a way to get out?"
"It's useless even if we find the exit. They are constantly changing their positions, and the formation space is also constantly changing. It's impossible for us to walk out normally from the moment we came in. We can only use the simplest and most brutal method to escape." A sharp cold light flashed across Lai Yang's eyes, and the aura around him surged slightly.
Seeing this, Lan Qingxian immediately understood what Lai Yang meant. It seemed that there was no other way.
"Humph, do you really think I'm easy to bully? You're being chased by bugs and trapped by trees. Today I'm going to chop you all down!"
Lai Yang took out a top-grade spiritual sword from his storage bag. The terrifying sword intent swept across the sky and earth, as if to tear the space apart.
Lai Yang raised his hand and swung it, and an arc-shaped crescent sword energy slashed out horizontally, instantly cutting several tree monsters hiding in the woods in half.
In an instant, the tree monsters trembled in anger, their roots danced, and the ground surged.
"die!"
Lai Yang no longer suppressed his own aura, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and he killed indiscriminately.
Lan Qingxian followed closely behind, and the wind force turned into countless extremely sharp blades that flew out, and in the blink of an eye, many large trees fell down.
There were quite a few tree monsters, but most of them were only at the fifth or sixth level, and could not withstand the slaughter of Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian.
In just a few moments, 30% of the tree monsters here were killed by the two of them.
Suddenly, a sound wave that shook the space slammed towards Lan Qingxian and Lai Yang like a huge hammer.
The two were startled and flew uncontrollably in the air.
After they regained their balance, they subconsciously looked in the direction of the roar.
Then they discovered that the one who suddenly attacked them was a Zerg monster with a solid shell, black barbs on its back, and several pairs of compound eyes on its head.
From the aura it emanated from, it turned out to be a seventh-level peak Zerg monster.
"It's another insect monster that I've never seen before. Why are there so many insect monsters on the road to immortality?" Lan Qingxian said with an unhappy look on his face.
Without giving the two men much time to react, the seventh-level Zerg monster flapping its wings in the air once again fired an incredibly powerful air cannon, slamming hard at the two men.
Lan Qingxian subconsciously summoned a defensive magic weapon and easily blocked the opponent's attack.
"A seventh-level demon beast dares to act so presumptuously in front of me."
Lan Qingxian raised her hand and waved. A spiritual weapon made of a landscape painting quickly unfolded in the air. Then, the landscape turned into a tangible and powerful attack that fell on the monster.
However, what she didn't expect was that the Zerg monster was so fast that it turned into countless afterimages to avoid her attack and approached the two of them at the same time.
More than a dozen afterimages of Zerg monsters emerged and surrounded Lan Qingxian and Lai Yang in the blink of an eye, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake.
The afterimages of more than a dozen Zerg monsters condensed into energy, and beams of spiritual power filled with aura of destruction blasted directly towards them.
Lan Qingxian used all her spiritual weapons to defend herself and resist the spiritual attacks of the Zerg monsters. If they were hit by an energy beam of such power, they would be annihilated instantly.
Lai Yang found the opponent's true body, and violent blood and energy burst out. He found the right opportunity and cut off the hard body of the Zerg monster with a sword.
Even though its body was split into two, the seventh-level Zerg monster did not die immediately. In fact, the two halves of its body were moving closer to each other, as if they wanted to regenerate and merge.
How could Lai Yang give it a chance to turn the tables? He used his ultimate sword intent to slash out hundreds of sword energies in one breath, directly annihilating the vitality of the Zerg monster and completely destroying its energy core.
[Basic Attributes +1]
Hearing the system prompt sound in his mind, Lai Yang couldn't help but feel helpless.
They went to so much trouble to kill this Zerg monster, but in the end only its basic attributes were slightly improved. It was really not worth it.
"The material on this monster is very good, and can even be used to forge top-grade spiritual weapons. You can keep it."
Lai Yang nodded and put the body of the Zerg monster into his storage bag.
Seeing their greatest backer being killed by the two, the other tree monsters all hid themselves, not daring to show up and provoke these two evil stars.
Although they experienced a lot of dangers, they also gained many benefits.
The seventh-level spiritual medicine, the Fragrant Jade Heart Lotus, can be used as a material for forging top-grade spiritual weapons. Any one of its benefits is enough to make ordinary seventh-level cultivators jealous.
And this was just the opportunity they found not long after entering the Road to Immortality. It is hard to imagine how powerful opportunities exist in the depths of the Road to Immortality.
After that, the two of them walked on a much more stable path. They wandered around the outskirts of the road to immortality for a long time, killing monsters, stealing elixirs, and fighting with others.
He even encountered an ambush by powerful beings from other immortal forces.
But no one could stop the sword in Lai Yang's hand. With Lai Yang's strength, killing them was as easy as killing a chicken.
After beheading seven or eight seventh-level warriors, Lai Yang's notoriety gradually spread on the road to immortality, making many people afraid to provoke him, and even choosing to take a detour when they saw him.
Before they knew it, a year had passed since Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian entered the path to immortality.
On this day, Lan Qingxian suddenly said to Lai Yang: "I want to go to the depths of the immortal road to have a look. Are you willing to come with me?"
"You still want to find a way to the upper realm." Lai Yang knew what Lan Qingxian was thinking and spoke lightly.
“Well, if I give up this time, and if I cannot ascend and break through, I’m afraid I won’t have another chance.” Lan Qingxian said in a firm tone.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will accompany you in to take a look." Lai Yang sighed helplessly.
He knew that he could not persuade Lan Qingxian, so he could only try his best to accompany her to the end.
The two set off and left the mountains filled with Zerg monsters.
Half a month later, a strange black water river blocked their way.
There are powerful restrictions on the river surface. Once you step on it, you will immediately sink to the bottom of the river and cannot pass through it by flying in the air.
There seemed to be something extremely terrifying hidden at the bottom of the river. Just looking at it made people feel dazed, and they even had an irresistible urge to jump into it and become one with the river water.
When the two realized this, they were already less than a kilometer away from the Blackwater River.
Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats and immediately moved away from the Black Water River in front of them.
“This should be the Black Water River on the road to immortality as recorded in records. This river will lure living things to enter it on their own initiative. Once they come into contact with the river water, even a high-level strong man in the Tribulation Realm will not be able to escape from it. They can only become a dead soul in the river with hatred. It is one of the most dangerous things on the road to immortality.” Lan Qingxian explained solemnly.
Hearing this, Lai Yang subconsciously asked: "How do we get through here?"
"It's very simple. As long as we don't touch the river water, we can row across." Lan Qingxian paused for a moment, and then warned seriously: "But you and I must stay focused while crossing the river. We must not be fooled by the illusion created by the Black Water River. If we fall into the river, we will surely die."
"Yeah." Lai Yang nodded slightly.
Lan Qingxian raised his hand and summoned a spaceship that stopped beside the Blackwater River. The two immediately jumped on the boat and began to cross the river.
After a while, Lai Yang felt a strange spiritual force trying to invade his soul and control his consciousness.
The deeper one goes into the Black Water River, the more terrifying the spiritual power that invades the soul becomes.
Unconsciously, Lai Yang felt his consciousness was in a trance. He seemed to see countless dark shadows emerging in the Black Water River, as if inviting him to blend in.
Lai Yang walked slowly to the side of the boat, his expression a little dazed, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
Lan Qingxian noticed Lai Yang's abnormality, and suddenly a powerful spiritual force burst out, shouting loudly: "Wake up!"
Lai Yang was startled, the mist in his eyes was dispelled, and his vision immediately became clear again.
However, at this moment, Lai Yang suddenly felt someone pushing him hard from behind.
With a splash, he fell into the black water uncontrollably and sank quickly.
“Not good!” Lan Qingxian was horrified and looked extremely anxious. “How could this happen? I was the one who killed him.”
Lai Yang accidentally fell into the Black Water River. The icy cold and extremely cold energy in the river quickly rushed into his body. He felt as if his soul was frozen and he was unable to move.
However, at this critical moment, the purple thunder power in Lai Yang's body burst out.
Lai Yang suddenly found that he could move freely, and he seemed to hear countless fearful wailing sounds coming from the river, which was distraught.
Lai Yang did not hesitate. He immediately controlled his body to float up, jumped out of the black water and returned to the boat.
"Shit, I was so scared. I thought I was going to be in trouble this time." Lai Yang couldn't help but speak with a lingering fear on his face.
Seeing this, Lan Qingxian widened her beautiful eyes in shock, unable to believe that he had actually escaped from the terrifying Black Water River? !
Even if she fell into the Black Water River, she would probably die. However, Lai Yang managed to escape safely with her own strength.
"You, you actually escaped, how did you do it?" Lan Qingxian asked in astonishment.
Lai Yang thought about it and immediately explained:
"It was the power of the thunder in my body that offset the power of the river water. When the power of the thunder in my body exploded, it could no longer control me. I immediately took the opportunity to swim up."
"It was a close call. I almost thought I was going to die."
"This damned thing actually played dirty tricks on me. I'll let you have a taste of my power."
Lai Yang became angrier as he spoke, and the power of purple thunder surged around him. He immediately controlled the violent and terrifying purple thunder and slammed it hard towards the Black Water River in front of him.
The purple thunder fell into the Black Water River and exploded violently. The yin energy in the river was hit hard by the extremely yang and strong purple thunder. Suddenly, the surface of the entire Black Water River rolled violently, and waves of ghostly howlings came from the river, which were extremely shrill and harsh.
"You want to hurt me, I will kill you today, let's see who is stronger, you or my thunderbolt!"
