The four of them had already collaborated countless times, following their plan and successfully luring the green-legged centipede to Li Yirou's vicinity. Now, all she needed to do was detonate an explosive talisman on the side to attract the centipede's attention.
But just as Li Yirou was about to throw the talisman, the strange fire suddenly shouted in the space, "Master! It's not an ordinary centipede!"
Just as he finished speaking, the green-legged centipede was a mutated monster. Not only could its mouthparts emit sharp spines, but it also didn't need to fire one shot, pausing for a moment. Like an ancient warship, each pair of legs on either side of its body had a cannon muzzle, and rows of poisonous spines flew towards Li Yirou and Xia Yanhong.
Li Yirou was hiding in the shadows, and the centipede was unaware of her presence, so it could have stabbed her. However, the impact of the sharp thorns from her direction was not too fast or strong, so she dodged between the two sharp thorns by turning sideways.
With a whoosh, the sharp spikes still made a slight sound as they pierced the air. Li Yirou locked onto the attack, her spiritual awareness spreading. She was fine, but Xia Yanhong only had a first-grade, level 1 shield talisman. The spikes could be controlled, and dozens of them shot towards her.
Xia Yanhong had originally been a support player in the team, not often leading the charge. This was her first time participating in a battle as a mage. Faced with this situation, she couldn't help but tense up, slowing down her movements for a second.
After she transformed into a shield, she was surprised by the two sharp thorns that pierced through it! She continued to resist, but only half of the sharp thorns were consumed. There were still two remaining, getting closer and closer to her, and they had already pierced through the first-grade shield amulet!
The others were scattered elsewhere, so it was too late to help her! She knocked one of them down with her staff, but the other still had enough strength to stab her.
Seeing her about to be injured, Xia Yanhong's heart sank, worried about the centipede's toxicity. Even if the detoxification pill could partially eliminate it, her combat effectiveness would still be affected. They had only just entered the secret realm! If the poisoning was too severe, it would definitely delay everyone's time, and this opportunity to enter would be wasted!
Just as the sharp thorn was about to reach her, a protective formation suddenly appeared in front of her, surrounding only her front. The sharp thorn was blocked by the formation, lacking momentum and moving extremely slowly. She had no time to resist and waved it away with her staff.
Almost at the same time, a second-grade explosive talisman exploded towards the centipede's side before its second row of sharp spines shot out. Although the centipede did not scream, its upper body stood up straight, as if roaring angrily, and spit out a sharp spine with a black glow in the direction of Li Yiru.
Fortunately, Zhang Xueyan had also arrived at this time, and together with Xia Yanhong, they blocked the row of spikes. Elsewhere, Lu Si accompanied Fu Xiaolu. As she launched a sword move, Lu Si also took advantage of the gap to cast a spell on the centipede's foot joints, causing damage.
The centipede simultaneously released sharp spikes from both sides and expelled a poisonous mist from its mouth. Li Yirou simultaneously released a purification talisman and a protective array, blocking the invasion of the poisonous mist. As they moved, no matter where they landed, the protective array would follow in time.
Even when the shield talisman was about to break, it was immediately replaced. Fang Ye's spiritual awareness was truly strong, comparable to theirs! But her magic power was clearly insufficient to withstand the centipede's attack.
Zhang Xueyan and Fu Xiaolu had the highest cultivation level, and they had already consumed a lot of the green-legged centipede's attacks. The poison mist also had no effect. The green-legged centipede began to retreat and turned around to escape underground.
The Soul-Destroying Beast Trapping Formation somehow isolated the spiritual energy around it, preventing it from recovering and slowing its underground escape speed.
Fu Xiaolu seized the opportunity and stabbed the broken foot with a sword. The sword moved upwards and, along with the powerful sword energy, cut its body into two pieces.
The green-legged centipede continued to twist its body a few times, and finally spit out a mouthful of poisonous gas at Fu Xiaolu, and fell to the ground and died. After fighting for a long time, Fu Xiaolu's mental strength was a little insufficient, and she did not use her spiritual power, but only used her physical strength to leap back at a very fast speed.
Li Yiru gave her a purification spell and a protective shield of gold magic to block the poison gas for a moment, and she successfully fell back into the protective formation.
The four female cultivators were panting heavily, and Li Yirou, to fit in, also panted slightly. However, she was worried that the noise of the battle might cause any changes, so she told the four of them to leave the formation for them to rest while she took Duobao to look for the Ganoderma.
However, this time it was just ordinary yellow Ganoderma lucidum. Although it also had the effect of replenishing spiritual energy, it was also a 9th-level ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but the effect was just like an enhanced version of spiritual replenishing grass and had no other effects.
"I've never seen such a strong support..." Xia Yanhong murmured. She had been cooperating with the three of them for a long time, and she had to rely on Xiaolu's command to achieve the same support effect.
However, this was Fang's first time working with them, and his cultivation was not as good as hers, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. In addition to her strong spiritual awareness and extremely precise control of spiritual power, she also had very solid cultivation and strong control over the formation. It was almost set up to wrap around their shape, and no extra spiritual power would be wasted.
"Yeah..." Zhang Xueyan was the most surprised. She had never seen such a stable aid for cultivation and spiritual power. Generally, aids would rely on external objects for cultivation, such as taking elixirs and spiritual plants to enhance cultivation, but Fang obviously did not have that.
Fu Xiaolu watched his back, feeling even more satisfied with her choice. Seeing Fang Ye putting a talisman on himself, he went to collect spiritual plants. From a distance, they looked like ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, but they were still valuable. However, after picking a few, he suddenly froze in place.
Fu Xiaolu frowned slightly and walked towards her position. When she approached Fang Ye, a protective formation fell on her body. There were still a few uncollected Ganoderma lucidum on the ground. What was he looking at? Fu Xiaolu followed his gaze and saw a ginseng about ten feet away, about to turn red, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy unconsciously.
She couldn't help but hold her breath, along with Fang. Lingshen was incredibly spiritual among spiritual plants. Even without any intelligence, it instinctively fled. If anything went wrong, it would disappear deep underground, like a talisman affixed to its surface.
I don't know why, despite all the noise and commotion they'd just been making with the green-legged centipede, it didn't flee? Could it be that the green-legged centipede wasn't guarding the Ganoderma lucidum, but the Ganoderma ginseng?
It must have used some method to protect the spiritual ginseng, making it completely unaware of the outside world. But this protection dissipated with its death.
They had come for some rare spiritual plants and had made preparations for gathering them. Fu Xiaolu pulled a thin red string from her storage bag. It was called a ginseng-catching rope, a magical tool specifically designed to capture spiritual ginseng. Once it was tied, the ginseng could not escape and could only be dug out.
But before that, you need to tie up the spirit ginseng while it's off guard. This requires setting up a formation to trap the spirit ginseng. This process makes it very easy for the spirit ginseng to detect and escape.
But at this moment, they had just gone through a great battle and needed to recover their mental and spiritual strength. What should they do? What if the spiritual ginseng suddenly felt unsafe and fled to bloom somewhere else?
