Su Qing was of course unaware that the Wuji Sect, Wuxiao Sect, Yan Family, and Han Family were all joining forces to deal with their Xuanling Sect.
They've run into trouble!
The first half of the night was relatively peaceful, but in the second half, when Su Qing was on night duty, she noticed something underground.
Su Qing lived in the Gobi Desert in her previous life, where she often encountered monsters such as sand scorpions and sand worms that would ambush her from the sand.
Without the slightest hesitation, she plunged the Purple Lightning Frost Sword in her hand into the ground.
A bolt of lightning followed the Purple Lightning Frost Sword and plunged into the ground. Su Qing felt as if she had plunged into a living thing.
Su Qing dared not delay. She activated a ground-cracking talisman, and the ground split open, revealing Su Qing's Purple Lightning Frost Sword piercing the body of an Ice Marrow Worm.
Ice marrow worms are a type of insect unique to the far north.
This insect is not of a high level, only third rank, but this Ice Marrow Insect is gregarious.
The fact that Su Qing discovered one Ice Marrow Worm meant that there were hundreds or thousands of Ice Marrow Worms around.
It is true that ordinary Ice Marrow Worms are third-tier demonic beasts, but Ice Marrow Worms are demonic beasts with a very strong collective consciousness. Among a hundred Ice Marrow Worms, there will be a fourth-tier squad leader, and among a hundred squad leaders, there will be a fifth-tier captain.
One out of every hundred battalion commanders is a rank six legion commander.
In addition, there are the King's Guardians, three of whom are seventh-tier demonic beasts.
As for the king of the Ice Marrow Worms, he is an eighth-order demon beast.
Elder Qiu's face turned pale when he saw Su Qing kill an Ice Marrow Worm!
These gregarious insects are the most difficult to deal with!
"Let me check." Mu Zihan's reconnaissance puppet came in handy.
Tens of thousands of small puppets burrowed underground to investigate the situation.
Before them stood a crystal ball, through which they could see images sent by the little puppet. The little puppet plunged into the ground, and through the crystal ball, they saw a network of underground tunnels. Unexpectedly, the place they were in had long been hollowed out, and the area beneath was actually the territory of the Ice Marrow Worms.
Any small puppets that encountered the Ice Marrow Worm were shattered and could no longer send back messages.
In just a few moments, none of the tens of thousands of small puppets survived!
Mu Zihan's face turned pale. These were the little reconnaissance puppets he had painstakingly crafted, and they had been completely wiped out before they could even explore many passages.
Elder Qiu took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that they would actually walk into the territory of the Ice Marrow Worm!
No wonder we haven't encountered any monsters along the way.
It's likely that all the demonic beasts within a radius of several hundred miles have become food for the Ice Marrow Worms.
"This Ice Marrow Worm is quite large; the King Worm is probably an eighth-tier demonic beast," Elder Qiu said. "We'd better leave. We can handle ten or a hundred Ice Marrow Worms, but if it's tens of thousands, we..."
"Elder Qiu, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave," Xuan Qingye said.
They're surrounded!
Countless ice marrow worms crawled out from underground and surrounded them layer by layer!
Su Qing frowned. She really hadn't expected to encounter an insect attack.
She had been attacked by insects before when she was in the Gobi Desert; they were desert locusts.
The desert gold locusts are not as clearly stratified as the ice marrow worms, but they are swarming and extremely ferocious.
At that time, Su Qing was just a Core Formation stage cultivator. She ran wildly through the desert, watching helplessly as those desert golden locusts devoured all living things in the desert!
Finally, Su Qing escaped into a stone cave and set up the only defensive formation she had ever learned at the cave entrance.
Su Qing hid inside for three days until all the desert locusts left before she came out.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Ice Marrow Worms this time and was even surrounded by them!
She can't be so cowardly and just hide anymore; she's different now.
"Set up the formation!"
Su Qing was only stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.
The battle flag in her hand flew out and landed on the ground, immediately forming a defensive array.
After the defensive formation was completed, Su Qing immediately set up the Ten Deadly Formations on the outer perimeter. When the Ten Deadly Formations were not enough, Su Qing set up the Annihilation Formation.
Do you think that's all?
The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, the Vajra Subduing Demons Formation, the Five Elements Blazing Fire Formation, the Thunderous Nine Profound Formation...
Su Qing's array flags flew swiftly, and in no time, the array was layered upon layer, surrounding them completely.
The Ice Marrow Worm was completely dumbfounded!
No matter how many Ice Marrow Worms swarmed around, they were all wiped out by Su Qing's array meat grinder.
The formation also contained talismans. When the third-tier Ice Marrow Worms crashed into it, they didn't even leave behind a corpse; they were all reduced to ashes.
Even a fourth-tier Ice Marrow Worm squad leader can only last a little longer than an ordinary Ice Marrow Worm; in the end, they are all doomed to die anyway!
Elder Qiu's mouth dropped open. He stiffly turned his neck to look at Su Qing, feeling as if he were meeting her for the first time.
Monster!
He's only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, yet he's already able to set up so many formations.
What was he doing during the early stages of his foundation building?
Elder Qiu felt extremely ashamed when he thought about how he had been complacent about creating a combat puppet that could defeat a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage!
Han Chen's eyes shone with admiration.
"Junior Sister Su Qing is really too cool! This kind of all-out, head-on battle is always so captivating."
Gu Fengying is silly.
He recalled that when they were training in the back mountain, Su Qing would throw away handfuls of talismans.
Now, Su Qing's formation is actually layered on top of each other.
I have to say, that's incredibly powerful and exhilarating!
With Xuan Qingye and the Xuanling Sect Ancestor's clone protecting Su Qing, the two of them didn't care about the Ice Marrow Worm at all.
Xuan Qingye's spiritual power is ice-attribute, so these ice marrow worms are not a threat to him, but rather a source of nourishment. He can simply absorb them as nourishment.
Only the avatar of the Xuanling Sect's patriarch is currently broadcasting live to Gu Yueli, who is far away in the Xuanling Sect!
Gu Yueli was holding a crystal ball, looking extremely excited.
"Oh my, this is my disciple! So strong, so strong! No wonder you are the disciple I chose!"
That was a fifth-tier Ice Marrow Insect captain. All its subordinates were already dead, and now it lay half-dead on the ground.
Not a single member of the entire Ice Marrow Worm brigade survived!
After the ice marrow worms died, they turned into ice shards, and when the wind blew, it looked like a snowfall.
"It's dangerous here!"
The Ice Marrow Worm Captain sent a final message to the Ice Marrow Worm King, and then stopped moving.
“It seems that the Ice Marrow Insect King’s demon crystals can be used to forge ice swords.” Su Qing looked at Xuan Qingye. “Why don’t we take down the Ice Marrow Insect’s lair?”
Xuan Qingye's lips curled into a smile.
"good!"
Elder Qiu was completely dumbfounded.
Seriously? Are you going to wipe out this whole nest of Ice Marrow Worms?
In the snowy forest, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators dare not provoke the Ice Marrow Worm. When did it become something that Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can kill at will?
However, the Ice Marrow Insect King's outer skin is extremely tough, so it should be quite good as a puppet.
