Black Sand Lake, spanning a radius of hundreds of miles, was shrouded in a layer of black mist.
These are all demonic energies that have escaped and have never dissipated.
Most of this demonic energy was left behind by demonic cultivators who died here, and these dead demonic cultivators all became puppets of Shi Yan and Mo Qian.
As Su Qing and the others entered the area of demonic energy, these puppets slowly awakened. In the darkness, withered hands emerged from the sand, followed by skulls.
These demonic cultivators had been dead for many years, and even their flesh had been completely corroded away, leaving only their skeletal frames.
These skeletons, after being slowly tempered in the black sand, became stained with the cold, black gold of the marrow. The hardness and toughness of these skeletons were comparable to magical artifacts, and their combat power was extremely astonishing. In fact, over time, the skeletons all turned black, thus hiding in the darkness and becoming very difficult to find.
When Ling Yunzhi stepped on a skull, she almost twisted her ankle, only then realizing that countless skulls had somehow emerged from the sand.
After these skulls were discovered, they no longer concealed their tracks, and a red, demonic light appeared in their eye sockets.
"My God, what are all these things?!"
Ling Yunzhi was so startled that she took two steps back, but tripped over a skull again and screamed once more.
Su Qing coldly watched this scene and said indifferently, "This is the skeleton legion of the demonic cultivators of Black Sand Lake. They have occupied Black Sand Lake for many years, hunting not only ordinary mortals and cultivators, but also demonic cultivators. Over the years, the number of corpses here has increased."
"These corpses were all buried under the black sand, and slowly tempered by the Frost Marrow Black Gold, turning into black skulls."
Shui Qingchen snorted coldly and said, "Who cares what it is, just smash it flat."
As he spoke, Shui Qingchen's large hammer fell and smashed into a skull.
Shui Qingchen's giant hammer was crafted with countless rare and precious materials, and after Qiu Feiyang refined it with gold sand, the hammer shone with dazzling golden light and was extremely domineering.
I thought the skull would be smashed like a walnut, but who would have thought that after Shui Qingchen's hammer hit it, there was only a sharp cracking sound, and the skull was completely intact. On the contrary, Shui Qingchen's wrist was shaken and hurt!
“These skeletons have been tempered by the Frost Marrow Black Gold, making them even harder than the Geng Gold Sand refined from the Gold Sands of Golden Sand Slope. You can’t break these skeletons with brute force,” Su Qing explained.
"So these skeletons are invincible?" Chu Yuncheng frowned. The magic weapon in his hand was not even as good as the big hammer in Shui Qingchen's hand. According to Su Qing's idea, wouldn't it be even more useless?
Su Qing sneered and said, "Any demonic cultivator is afraid of fire. Although these skeletons have been tempered by the Frost Marrow Black Gold, they are still puppets of demonic cultivators. As long as the demonic energy on their bodies is burned away with heavenly fire, they will naturally turn into hard materials!"
I see!
Shui Qingchen put away the large hammer in his hand and immediately used his innate skill.
Devour the blazing flames!
A gigantic, ferocious beast, Taotie, appeared before everyone, startling Chu Yuncheng and Luo Shenmeng into wide-eyed stares. They knew that Shui Qingchen's Nascent Soul formation must have been due to the activation of her innate skill, but they never expected that Shui Qingchen's innate skill would be so powerful.
No wonder Shui Qingchen gave them a different feeling.
Previously, Shui Qingchen was just an ordinary Xuanling Sect elder who only knew how to refine pills and had mediocre combat power. But now, it seems that Shui Qingchen's inner desire to fight has been activated, and her combat power has skyrocketed.
Sigh, if they could awaken such powerful innate skills, they would definitely be at the forefront like Shui Qingchen.
The ferocious beast Taotie grabbed a skull, tore the entire skull off, and stuffed it into its gaping maw. A shrill scream rang out, and the demonic energy on the puppet was completely devoured by the beast.
Then, the ferocious beast Taotie opened its mouth in disgust, as if spitting out dregs, and spat the puppet, which had already lost control, onto the ground.
The black skull looked like a pile of chewed-up bones, which was quite filthy, but Qiu Feiyang was extremely excited.
These are things that even the ferocious beast Taotie wouldn't swallow. If these things were forged into weapons, the combat power could be increased by a lot!
Qiu Feiyang unreservedly stored the black bone fragments in his storage space.
"Alright, everyone, split up and take care of all the skeletons here!" Su Qing said, taking out a stack of talismans and distributing them to everyone.
Chu Yuncheng and Luo Shenmeng's hands trembled as they looked at the talismans.
These are all sixth-grade talismans that have sealed away heavenly fire.
Su Qing actually took out so much at once!
It wasn't difficult for Su Qing to draw talismans. This kind of talisman that sealed some of the Netherflame was actually just sealing a single strand of Netherflame.
Previously, Mingyan stubbornly refused to sign a contract with Su Qing, and his hair was becoming increasingly scarce. Now that they have signed a contract, even if Su Qing uses a single hair of Mingyan's, Mingyan can still obtain restorative spiritual power from Su Qing.
It can be said that Mingyan has now regained his thick head of blue hair.
Within his sea of consciousness, the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame gritted its teeth.
He hasn't made a contract with Su Qing yet, which means his hair won't be replenished.
Should we make a contract with Su Qing?
No, absolutely not!
I am a celestial flame, why should I form a contract with a Core Formation stage cultivator?
Unless, unless she cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage.
Yes, that's it. Once Su Qing reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he'll reluctantly form a contract with her.
The talisman that seals the heavenly fire is very suitable for dealing with these black skeletons. As long as the talisman is attached to the skeleton, the demonic energy on the skeleton will be burned away by the heavenly fire.
The skull would turn into a pile of black bones, all of which Qiu Feiyang stored in his storage space.
This is good stuff!
It's even better than the Frost Marrow Black Gold that's been tempered in the black sand.
On the shore of Black Sand Lake, Shi Yan's expression grew increasingly grim.
These black skeletons were all controlled by him and were deployed around the Black Sand Lake. There were more than a thousand of them. In less than a quarter of an hour, this group of people entered the demonic energy and destroyed more than a hundred black skeletons.
Seeing Shi Yan's increasingly grim expression, Mo Qian raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Your skeleton army can't hold on? Then I'll take action."
As she spoke, Mo Qian slightly raised her hand, and a black rose appeared at her fingertips.
The black rose looked alluring, but unexpectedly, it grinned and revealed two rows of sharp teeth.
Mo Qian took out a small sandworm and put it in Qiangwei's mouth. Qiangwei ate it in a few bites, then closed her big mouth and pretended to be harmless again.
