Chapter 1209 Wind Dragon
"Su Youming," Luo Li's cold voice broke the brief stalemate, "Using your profound ice power to collect these magic cores should minimize disturbance to the surrounding area."
Su Youming felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and immediately understood Luo Li's intention.
This not only gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their value, but also tests their cooperation, while avoiding the chain reaction that may be caused by Xuan Ye's brutal methods.
"Yes, City Lord Luo!" Su Youming responded without any hesitation.
He signaled Su Lin and Su Xuewei to stay calm, and he stepped forward.
He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and ice-blue spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, transforming into several ice blades as thin as cicada wings, with sharp and cold edges flashing.
These ice blades did not cut randomly, but cut precisely along the gap between the magic core and the rock at an extremely delicate angle.
A slight cutting sound was heard, and wherever the ice blade passed, the sticky moss was instantly frozen, without even the chance to secrete corrosive juice.
Even the hardest rock becomes fragile under the extremely cold ice blade and is easily peeled off.
Su Youming's technique was clean and efficient, and he quickly removed several intact magic cores. The whole process caused almost no violent reaction from the surrounding demonic energy and moss, only a faint chill filled the air.
Su Lin also imitated Su Youming, condensing an ice blade to carefully collect the ice. Although Su Xuewei still had resentment in her heart, she knew the importance of it. She suppressed her anger towards Xuan Ye and began to work silently, but her movements were slightly stiff.
Xuan Ye glanced at the cautious look of the three people from the Su family, curled his lips in disdain, and his movements became more wild. Wherever he passed, stone chips flew everywhere, and the moss was swallowed up, leaving a mess.
He doesn't care about movement, he only cares about speed and quantity.
Luo Li did not urge her. While collecting high-quality magic cores, she extended her spiritual sense down the passage, alert to any unusual movements.
Bai Ze always stood slightly to the side of Luo Li. The power of light was like a beacon, dispelling the dark aura that was gathering around them, while he kept an eye on the movements behind and above his head.
For the time being, the only sounds in the passage were the sounds of collecting magic cores and the suppressed breathing of the crowd.
Dark holes were left on the wall where the magic core had been taken away, and the demonic energy in the air seemed to have undergone a slight change in direction.
After collecting the magic cores, everyone continued to go deeper.
After an unknown amount of time, the passage finally came to an end.
There was no longer a downward slope in front, but an entrance to a wider space. The entrance was filled with a thick, indissoluble, dark red fog that seemed to be tangible, completely blocking the view.
Just as everyone stopped and prepared to explore the fog at the entrance
"Roar... Gurgle... Hiss..."
An extremely strange and hair-raising sound came faintly from the depths of the thick fog.
The sound was like the gurgling sound of countless sticky bubbles bursting, mixed with the low roar of the monster.
This sound is not transmitted through the air, but directly affects everyone's soul.
"Be on guard!" Luo Li's eyes narrowed and he shouted in a low voice. The chaotic jade light between his eyebrows suddenly became brighter, and the light instantly enveloped everyone.
Bai Ze pressed his hands lightly, and a soft yet tough barrier of light was superimposed and generated inside the chaos power shield, like a holy barrier.
The dark golden light in Xuan Ye's eyes surged, and the dark red air currents coiled around his body like a dancing poisonous snake, with the devouring power ready to be unleashed.
Su Youming and the other two felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Ice-blue light flashed wildly, and the Xuanbing Soul-Suppressing Seal was operating at its maximum power. A thick layer of ice crystal armor covered their bodies, and their eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity and fear.
The thick fog rolled, and the strange and terrifying sound was getting closer and clearer.
It seemed as if something was dragging its sticky body out from the abyss of fog.
Luo Li's expression was sharp, and she raised her hand, "Be careful."
The thick fog surged violently like boiling plasma. The sticky, tooth-grinding sound and roar were close at hand, accompanied by a nauseating fishy wind.
Phew!
The thick fog suddenly broke through, and the first thing that appeared was a pair of huge red eyes.
Luo Li summoned Xuan Yue and stared at her closely.
Behind her, Xuan Ye and Bai Ze had also entered a state of preparation for battle.
The three people from the Su family at the back, although nervous, also summoned their own spiritual weapons.
In the thick fog, a huge figure slowly emerged.
The moment she saw the thing clearly, Luo Li tightly grasped Xuan Yue and said immediately, "It's a Saint King-level wind dragon corroded by demonic energy."
Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Nine Star Saint Lord, how long have you been trapped here?"
Luo Li curled her lips, "The Nine-Star Saint Lord cannot be wasted. Bai Ze, Xuan Ye, you two restrain him. I will use the power of chaos to eliminate the evil spirit in his body."
Bai Ze and Xuan Ye chuckled, "Leave it to us."
The three members of the Su family behind them were stunned. They could understand the words they said, but why couldn't they understand what they said together?!
What does it mean to subdue this monster and purify the evil energy in his body?!
Oh my god!
This is not right!
They have never seen such records in their tribe!
While the three people from the Su family were still in shock, Luo Li and the other two had already rushed towards the wind dragon.
"Chaos Art: Destroying the Heavens!"
The violent power of chaos instantly swept through the entire underground space.
Xuan Ye laughed wildly, and the devouring power in his hands surged like a living thing, instantly transforming into countless ferocious pythons, roaring and wrapping around the Fenglong's huge and terrifying body.
Wherever the giant python passed, the thick fog was torn and swallowed, the wind dragon's hard scales made a harsh friction sound, and its huge body suddenly stopped.
"roar--"
The wind dragon was furious. As it struggled, its wings created a hurricane and its sharp claws tore through the air to grab Xuan Ye.
Bai Ze clasped his hands together and the power of brilliant light burst out like the scorching sun falling to the ground, dispersing the red mist.
That force was not an attack, but an extremely powerful purifying force that directly hit the wind dragon's soul.
The wind dragon's huge red eyes suddenly became chaotic, and its struggling movements became slightly slowed down.
At this moment of flaw, Luo Li appeared at the side of the wind dragon's neck like a ghost.
The Xuan Yue in her hand stabbed straight at the Fenglong's eyebrows, and the huge power of the origin of chaos instantly penetrated into the Fenglong's body.
In an instant, the rich demonic energy in the wind dragon's body began to dissipate wildly, emitting a shrill scream.
His huge body twitched violently, and he let out a wail that was a mixture of pain and relief, and the bloodshot in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The whole process takes only a few breaths.
The three people from the Su family were still frozen in place, watching the Nine-Star Saint King-level Wind Dragon that was eroded by demonic energy being purified bit by bit by the strange power used by Luo Li, revealing its original appearance.
Su Xuewei opened her mouth slightly, and the long sword in her hand slipped silently, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
Luo Li clapped her hands and smiled, "Done."
In front of him, the somewhat dark wind dragon returned to its original appearance after the evil energy in its body was removed.
A dragon with emerald green body, very beautiful.
After she returned to her original appearance, she looked at Luo Li, and the next second, she turned into a beautiful woman wearing a green long dress.
Her eyes trembled as she strode towards Luo Li. Under the gaze of several people, Feng Long knelt on one knee and said sincerely: "Thank you, benefactor."
Although she was eroded by the evil spirit and could not control herself, she still had some consciousness and naturally knew that it was this human who eliminated the evil spirit for her.
Luo Li raised her hand, "I have a question for you."
Feng Long immediately said, "Please tell me, my benefactor. I will tell you everything I know."
Luo Li glanced at the dispelled mist and slowly said, "How did you get into these ruins?"
Feng Long recalled, "I don't quite remember how long ago it was. I only remember that I approached the Endless Desert hoping to face the thunder tribulation that would bring me to the Saint Sovereign realm. Unexpectedly, just as I passed through the thunder tribulation and accidentally entered the outer reaches of the Endless Desert, I was forcibly sucked underground by a powerful force. I've been searching for an exit ever since I came in, but not only did I not find one, I was actually corroded by the demonic energy inside and nearly lost my mind."
Luo Li didn't expect that this unlucky beast was not even a native beast of the Endless Desert. She was really too unlucky.
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "How long have you stayed here since you came in? How much do you know about the contents of this ruin?"
Feng Long thought back, "I'm not sure how long it's been. There's really no concept of time here. But when I came in, I was just entering the Saint Lord level. Now I'm a Nine-Star Saint Lord, so a long time must have passed. But after I was corrupted, I kept wandering around the ruins. I carried demonic energy with me, and nothing here attacked me, so I've been to most of the ruins."
She looked at Luo Li: "Benefactor, are you looking for something here? Benefactor, why don't you tell me, maybe I have an impression."
Luo Li was silent for two seconds, then slowly spoke, "We entered the ruins this time to search for fragments of the Demon God's inheritance. Have you ever sensed a place with extremely dense demonic energy within these ruins?"
Hearing this, Feng Long's eyes widened: "Is there a fragment of the Demon God's inheritance in here?"
As a bloodline demon beast, Fenglong naturally has records about the Demon God in his inherited memories, but like the people in the Su family, he thought that the Demon God was dead, and never imagined that there would be such a thing as the Demon God's inheritance fragments.
Feng Long frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the long years he had spent wandering aimlessly in this dark ruin.
Her fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her emerald green skirt. After a moment, she spoke with a hint of uncertainty:
"My benefactor, after being corroded by the demonic energy, my mind became muddled and I wandered around based on instinct. Deep within these ruins, there are indeed several areas where the demonic energy is so intense, far exceeding that of other areas. Even I, a demon at the time, was instinctively terrified and didn't dare to enter."
She raised her hand, and a tiny emerald green light condensed at her fingertips, quickly outlining a simple but clear map outline on the ground in front of everyone.
"The first one is in the northwest corner of the ruins, a place shrouded by a stone gate. The demonic energy there carries a scorching and violent aura, as if something terrifying is sleeping there. Just getting close to it makes you feel like your soul is about to be ignited."
