Chapter 373: Life on the line

Half a year later.

Inside the secret passage.

The top-level beast spirit treasure Hunyuan Spear in Shen Ping's hand burst out with layers of blood-red light. A large number of special insects like fireflies were turned into powder when they touched the blood-red light, like moths to a flame.

Take away the dazzling beast blood crystal.

Yin Ting beside him couldn't help but smile and said, "It's the fifteenth one. The beast blood essence in the middle area is indeed more than that in the dark area. In just half a year, we have obtained ten. At this rate, we may be able to harvest hundreds of them in the remaining time."

Her cold and beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

The effect of beast blood essence is much stronger than that of beast blood spirit liquid. If there are a hundred of them, I am afraid that one can easily comprehend the scale armor level. However, the strongest among all beast spirit geniuses now is only at the scale armor level.

"I'll lend you my good words."

"Let's keep working on it."

Shen Ping put away the Hunyuan Spear and continued to move forward with Yin Ting. Although the number of insects near the beast blood crystals in the middle area had increased a lot and their defense capabilities had also been strengthened, during the past six months, he and Yin Ting had mastered the first type of blood light of the Hunyuan Spear. With this powerful form of power, even more insects would not be a problem.

Twenty.

Twenty-five.

Forty... In the three years since they came to the palace cave world, the two of them have obtained forty beast blood essences. This harvest is more than the combined harvest of the genius teams of the demon clan, the flame clan and other clans. This is because the two of them have a limited exploration range. If the Eye of the Sea Beast can cover the entire cave, Shen Ping will get more beast blood essences.

…

Central area.

The Spirit Clan's genius team only obtained four beast blood essences in three years, and also lost more than ten geniuses. This was already a considerable loss for the Spirit Clan. There was no other way. There were too many insects in the middle area, and the third form of the high-level beast spirit treasure could not kill them all in the first time. Even if more than ten people in the team attacked collectively, it was difficult to kill them all, so losses were inevitable.

However, the geniuses of the Spirit Clan were quite satisfied to get four, especially those who were strong, as it meant that they could also get the beast blood essence instead of just one for Ling Hao.

"Everyone be careful!"

"If you encounter the essence of beast blood again, you must not be careless..."

"Look ahead, it's beast blood essence, three of them, three in total!!"

A team of Elven people that lost two ordinary geniuses, after entering a secret passage that day, all the team members became excited, they did not expect to see three!

"Wait, there are three beast blood essences, and there may be more insects around them. With the strength of our team, we might all die here. We should notify Ling Hao and the others immediately!"

“This… these are three. If Ling Hao is informed, even if we finally get them, we won’t get a share!”

"Yes, the essence of beast blood is a rare treasure in heaven and earth. The only difference between us and Ling Hao is the level of comprehension. If we can have the essence of beast blood, we may be able to reach his level and even worship the Emperor as our master!"

Hear the last sentence.

The temporary captain of the team was tempted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, but we have to make it clear in advance that if there is any danger, Ling Hao must be notified immediately!"

Therefore, the thirteen geniuses made preparations as if facing a great enemy, and deployed means such as fairy formations, puppets, defensive beast spirit treasures, etc. Although these things could not cause any harm to the insects, they could delay them for some time. As long as they had a few more breaths, they could activate the third form of the advanced beast spirit treasure to kill all the insects that pounced on them.

"go!"

The spirit race is not good at immortal arts, and has not done much research on puppets, but they all have immortal puppets, which are just cruder than those of humans and provide little help in combat.

As the three beast blood essences moved.

The surface of the nearby dark passage cave wall suddenly flickered brightly, covering an area of ​​several dozen feet.

The faces of these thirteen geniuses turned pale instantly.

You have to know that all means of detection such as spiritual consciousness and magic power are useless in the secret passage. Even if a fairy puppet encounters a bug, it will be devoured instantly without leaving any residue. It can only be killed to take away the essence of the beast blood, which requires close range. Like the one encountered before, the range of the bug's light is only a few feet. They guessed that there would be many bugs with three of them, but they didn't expect there would be so many.

"escape!"

Without any hesitation.

The thirteen geniuses fled at the fastest speed in their lives, and immediately sent a message to Ling Hao, the strongest genius of the Spirit Clan.

They reacted quickly, but the narrow, winding and rugged secret passage affected their speed, while the insects were not affected at all and soon caught up with the three behind them. The three struggled for a while and turned into blood.

But their deaths still bought some time for the rest.

Escape from the dead.

The only ten remaining geniuses returned to the main passage and looked at the dark passage in front of them with lingering fear. These insects were truly terrifying.

"Let's wait for Linghao to come."

The temporary captain said helplessly.

…

At the moment when Ling Hao of the Spirit Clan took away the three beast blood crystals, the maps of all the beast spirit geniuses changed. Five more secret passages appeared on the maps ranked at the bottom, ten more secret passages appeared on the maps ranked in the top 100, and twenty more secret passages appeared on the maps ranked in the top ten. All of these secret passages were located in the fork area of ​​the main passage.

Yin Ting noticed the changes in the map and quickly reminded Shen Ping.

Finish looking at the map.

These fork areas are a bit far from where the two are. They need to take five or six forks and it will take more than half a year to get there.

To go or not to go.

This was the first time the two had a disagreement.

Shen Ping was planning to go. Since there were changes, it meant that there must be beast blood essence in these new secret passages. However, Yin Ting did not want to go because in her opinion, there was no need to waste time. Anyway, they could get a lot of beast blood essence by exploring the nearby secret passages along the main passage.

More importantly, Yin Ting inferred that the geniuses of other tribes would most likely go to explore the fork area, so they would have a chance to meet each other.

“Don’t worry, I have mastered the first level of blood light. Even if I encounter the strongest geniuses ranked in the top ten, I can still save my life if I can’t defeat them. Besides, if I encounter them, I can just avoid them in advance.”

Seeing Shen Ping say this.

Yin Ting had no choice but to agree to go to the fork area.

The two immediately changed direction and followed a fork in the road on the left according to the markings on the map. During this time, Shen Ping used the Eyes of Sea Beasts from time to time to explore the nearby secret passages, but unfortunately he found nothing. After walking for seven months, the two finally arrived at a new secret passage area.

And just arrived here.

Before Shen Ping activated the talent of the strange beast to check, Yin Ting sensed a strange fluctuation.

"It's the essence of beast blood!"

“I didn’t expect that the essence of the beast blood in this area could be clearly sensed.”

Both were surprised.

The previous search for the essence of beast blood relied on Shen Ping's talent. If they didn't have the Eye of Sea Beast, they would have to explore every secret passage like the genius teams of other tribes. Not only would it be inefficient, it would also easily waste time.

But here, the fluctuation of the beast blood essence is very strong.

Shen Ping hurriedly opened his talent.

Sure enough, in a secret passage ahead there was a large amount of insect energy aura, covering an area of ​​several hundred feet, which made him extremely frightened.

"Hundreds of feet?"

Yin Ting frowned, "Are you sure?"

“It’s hard to say.”

"Try it out first."

The two men came into the secret passage and after walking in twists and turns for five or six days, they saw the essence of beast blood floating in front of them.

“Four!!”

"There are so many of them, no wonder the range of the nearby insects exceeds a hundred feet!"

They were both surprised and delighted.

Shen Ping hurriedly said: "Retreat to the secret passage first."

With so many bugs, it would be troublesome if the first form of the top-level beast spirit treasure failed to kill them all.

He didn't want anything to happen to Yin Ting.

Yin Ting looked hesitant, but she also knew that staying here would only be a hindrance. After repeatedly reminding Shen Ping to be careful, she retreated to the entrance.

laugh.

When the beast blood crystal moves.

The cave wall began to flicker, and more than a million strange insects swarmed towards Shen Ping, devouring the strange beast puppets in the first place without leaving any trace.

Tsk tsk.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The blood pattern on the tip of the Hunyuan Spear suddenly burst into a bloody light as the magic power of the strange beast was infused. Suddenly, the surface of the Hunyuan Spear was surrounded by bloody patterns, and the blood light pierced through the space in front of the eyes like a sword, causing the cave wall to collapse and a large number of insects to be destroyed.

The power of this form is that the blood light is just a kind of light that bursts out when it is activated. Its real power lies in the gun body. However, the blood light alone is enough to kill the insects, and Shen Ping does not need to use the spear at all.

See all the insects are annihilated.

Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. After easily taking away the essence of the beast blood, he returned to the entrance of the passage.

"The journey of more than half a year has finally paid off."

If it were in the main channel, with the previous efficiency, more than ten beast blood essences could be obtained in half a year. However, judging from the four connected together, the number of beast blood essences in this fork area is probably not small.

The two did not dare to delay and continued to walk towards the next secret passage.

Halfway.

The rich essence of beast blood was constantly surging, but there was no secret passage nearby. However, Shen Ping used his talent to see the breath of insects in the distance.

"These secret passages should belong to other Tianjiao's maps. If we want to go through them, we have to take two detours."

There are many passages in the cave, and the map of Shen Ping and Yin Ting only covers a very small area. If they had not relied on the talents of strange beasts, they would have missed a lot of beast blood essence in the middle area.

Yin Ting said, "The two forks are not far away and can be reached in seven or eight days. What we need to worry about is that if we rush over, we may run into other tribes' geniuses."

Shen Ping nodded. There were no other geniuses in his sight now, but that might not be the case if he rushed over. Moreover, the environment of this cave was special, and the range that his strange beast talent could detect was affected. If he saw other geniuses, they would basically be able to sense his position through their spiritual sense.

"You wait here. I have a fast escape technique and should be able to take away the beast blood essence before other geniuses get there."

After saying that, he activated the enhancement and teleportation.

It would take seven or eight days to take the detour, but he only needs half a day to arrive by teleporting.

And there are three beast blood essences in this secret passage.

Until their return, no other genius entered the secret passage.

…

A few days later.

One of the teams of the demon clan's geniuses came to this secret passage.

There were still fluctuations of magical power from strange beasts in the secret passage, and the walls of the cave had also been damaged a lot.

"Damn it, the geniuses from other tribes got there first!"

"We met them once before in the main passage. I didn't expect that we would meet them in the fork area. Who on earth could be so efficient?"

"Don't waste time, continue to the next secret passage. The essence of the beast blood in this fork area can be sensed, and the competition will be fierce."

Next, not only the Demon Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Monster Clan, but even the Realm Clan and other clans' secret passages marked on the Tianjiao map were visited by Shen Ping. This made them very angry, because judging from the traces of destruction on the secret passages, there were more than three of them.

"It must be the Ling Clan. Their Ling Hao ranks very high, and their map is more detailed than ours. Maybe there are other shortcuts leading here."

"Damn the Realm Clan and the Stone Clan. They are the only ones ranked higher than my Spirit Clan."

"These powerful tribes already occupy a large part of the first ten thousand. Now they want to snatch even the essence of beast blood. Do they want to let us live?"

All races suddenly became suspicious of each other. Even the four races of demons, monsters, flames, and spirits had rifts with each other. After all, the essence of beast blood was extremely valuable.

However, Shen Ping, the instigator, was extremely excited. He really came to the right fork in the road. In just half a year, he obtained more than a hundred beast blood essences, and including the previous ones, there were more than a hundred and forty in total.

“With so much beast blood essence, Fellow Daoist Shen will definitely be able to comprehend the level of scale armor!”

Yin Ting was also very happy.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "It's not enough. It's not enough for me to enter the scale armor level alone."

Yin Ting was touched. This was the essence of beast blood. Not to mention a Taoist companion, even blood-related clansmen would have conflicts, but Shen Ping was always thinking about her.

"We have almost finished exploring this fork area. Let's go back to the main passage."

Recently.

He and Yin Ting encountered many teams of geniuses from various ethnic groups, and the frequency was increasing. Even if they avoided them in advance, it was sometimes too late. And this time the gains were not small, so there was not much point in continuing to stay here and explore.

Yin Ting nodded.

The two did not stop and went straight back to the main passage along a branch passage.

However, just as they left the edge of the fork area, the wall of the branch passage suddenly glowed, and the range was more than a thousand feet! Chi Chi~ Almost instantly.

The insects in the passage spread like a flood and spread towards the two of them.

Shen Ping reacted very quickly. He directly activated the top-level beast spirit treasure to unleash blood light. At the same time, he took out hundreds of strange beast puppets to block the surroundings. At this moment, even delaying half a breath would be of great help to both of them.

Yin Ting also activated the high-level beast spirit treasure.

For a while.

Blood and long whips were intertwined in the passage.

The strange beast puppets were destroyed one by one, but the insects were still densely packed.

"Quick, hide in the palace."

Upon seeing this, Shen Ping took out a palace-like beast spirit treasure and let Yin Ting hide in it.

Yin Ting did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly slipped into the palace.

The palace-type beast spirit treasures have extremely strong defenses, and even a bug would need two breaths to completely devour the palace.

Shen Ping swung the Hunyuan Spear in his hand, and bursts of silver-white spear shadows mixed with blood completely enveloped the surroundings, forming a blood spear domain, killing all the insects that flew over.

After five breaths.

The blood and gun shadow disappeared.

A look of relief appeared on his face. The moment just now was too dangerous. If there was any mistake, he and Yin Ting would have died here.

After Yin Ting came out, she had fear in her eyes, "There is no beast blood essence in this passage, why are there so many bugs?!"
