Chapter 1273: Snake Demon

Under the influence of this array, the situation was reversed again, and it seemed it could hold on for longer. Net

Just when Han Li also thought it was temporarily safe, an accident happened!

A loud noise came, and a certain piece of ground nearby suddenly burst open, and a human-headed snake-bodied demon beast actually drilled out from the sand.

This demon snake had a head of scorched yellow messy hair, but its face was a ferocious woman's face, and two white and tender arms like a baby's grew on both sides of the snake body, each holding a bone spear several feet long, with black energy lingering on it, actually a pair of low-tier magic tools.

As soon as this demon snake appeared, not only was Han Li startled, but the three girls including Xiang'er who were presiding over the array were even more shocked. The demon snake's woman face turned and saw the three girls presiding over the array, revealing a ferocious smile. Without a word, it waved its single hand three times at the three girls in the distance, and immediately three black lights shot out from the spear tip, shooting straight at the three girls.

Xiang'er and the other two girls were also quite clever, immediately recovering from the shock of seeing the snake demon, hurriedly pulling out the small flags from the array diagram in front of them, and shaking them in front of them.

With a few "puff puff" sounds, pieces of spiritual mist instantly appeared in front of the three girls, protecting them within. The black light stabbed onto the light mist.

Three loud bangs came. Xiang'er and the white-robed girl were better off; although the light mist was splashed everywhere, they managed to block the attack. But the light mist in front of the youngest red-robed girl was the weakest. As a result, when the black light and the light mist touched, her figure trembled violently, and she flew backward uncontrollably, actually detaching from the protection of the light mist.

The red-robed girl secretly cried out "not good", her face turning pale, but for a time she couldn't control her body at all.

The snake demon clearly saw this point, slammed its snake tail fiercely against the ground behind it, its figure flickered, and it appeared under the red-robed girl in a flash, stabbing out a bone spear without hesitation.

The other two girls let out an exclamation, but couldn't save her in time. Watching the girl about to be pierced through the body by the black light transformed by the bone spear,

But at this moment, a harsh sound of breaking air came, and a white object flashed, hitting the black light with extreme precision.

After a "bang" sound, the bone spear was knocked aside by half a foot, the tip of the spear grazing the girl's clothes, scaring the girl until her face was bloodless. However, taking this opportunity, she also regained control of her body and twisted her figure, landing

And that white, fuzzy thing was actually an inconspicuous stone.

The snake demon was also stunned to see this, but a fierce light flashed in its eyes. Its other arm moved, and another bone spear followed, stabbing consecutively.

However, the sound of something breaking through the air immediately came from nearby, and another stone whistled toward it. But this time, the stone was not aimed at the bone spear, but directly smashed toward the snake demon's head.

With the immense force the stone had just displayed, if this blow had truly struck the demon, I am afraid that even if it could not smash the snake demon's head to pieces, it would be enough to knock it unconscious on the spot.

Although the snake demon was furious in its heart, it had no choice but to tilt its head while turning the bone spear to block the stone.

After another muffled sound, the snake demon only felt a great force transmitted to its hand, and it could not help but retreat several steps. It immediately raised its head in extreme rage and looked toward the direction from which the stone had been struck.

It saw a young man on a nearby turtle carriage looking toward here indifferently, with another similar stone being lightly tossed in his hand.

It was Han Li!

The red-shirted young girl had long since swayed and arrived within the light mist of another woman, only then letting out a long sigh of relief.

The snake demon had been thwarted twice in a row, and the violent energy in its heart naturally reached its peak. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out black, murky poisonous gas, sweeping toward the protective light mist of the three women.

But just at this moment, the sound of Nan Qizi's cold snort came from another turtle carriage:

"You wicked beast, how dare you!"

Following this sound, a white light shot out from the carriage. After circling once, it headed straight for the snake demon to slash at it; it was actually a crystalline small sword several inches in size.

The snake demon, which was spitting out black gas, saw this, and its expression changed drastically. It suddenly threw one of the bone spears in its hand hard toward the nearby turtle carriage, while its own body twisted, and it submerged beneath the sandy ground.

Once it saw that a cultivator had appeared, it did not even dare to engage in battle and directly used an earth-escape technique to flee from here.

And that bone spear that had been shot out was aimed at Han Li.

Clearly, this demon wanted to kill this mortal who had ruined its good deed before leaving, so as to vent the evil energy in its heart.

Han Li saw the bone spear coming as a streak of black light, but a bitter smile appeared on his face. Not only did he not use the stone in his hand to knock down the spear, but he stood where he was, motionless.

As a result, with a 'boom', the bone spear struck Han Li solidly. His entire person was knocked flying over ten zhang away without any power to resist, landing on a cargo container on the back of a giant turtle, smashing a large hole in it.

With a chaotic clattering sound, a pile of cold, flashing weapons spilled out from the cargo container.

"Ah!"

Seeing Han Li meet such an end, cries of alarm came from the mouths of the three young girls, and a light 'yi' of slight surprise also came from Nan Qizi in the carriage.

Then, that small sword circled once in the nearby air and shot back into the carriage.

Only then did the red-shirted young girl and the others wave the small flags in their hands, dispersing the light mist, and ran toward the broken cargo container.

"Brother Han, are... are you alright!" The red-shirted young girl who had been saved by Han Li was extremely grateful to him and shouted in great anxiety from beneath the giant turtle.

Xiang'er and the white-shirted young girl also showed a trace of worry on their faces.

"It's alright, I won't die. It's just that my body is unable to move again." Han Li's bitter voice came from the cargo container.

The three young girls felt relieved upon hearing this. After looking at each other, the three of them moved their bodies, jumped onto the giant turtle one after another, and looked into the damaged cargo container.

They saw Han Li lying in a pile of blades and spears in tattered clothes, with a helpless expression on his face, but he did not seem to have suffered much injury.

The three women were overjoyed. Working together, they temporarily pulled Han Li out of the cargo container and then laid him flat on the giant turtle.

"Brother Han, thank you for your life-saving grace!" The red-shirted young girl thanked Han Li gratefully.

"It's nothing, just a small effort! This level of attack still cannot do anything to me. It's just that I will have to lie down for a while longer." Han Li smiled slightly and said indifferently.

The carriage door on the other giant turtle opened, and Nan Qizi walked out from inside. In a few floating movements, he flew to Han Li's side, grabbed one of Han Li's wrists, and injected a stream of pure spiritual energy into it.

"It is nothing. The Diamond Art is worthy of being one of the five great body-refining secret arts. Once cultivated to the third layer, it already has such power. That demon's magic tool did not injure Benefactor Han at all; it was just that the act of throwing the stone just now damaged some meridians, causing some injuries on top of injuries. After resting quietly for a period of time, there will be no problem." A flash of surprise appeared on the Daoist's face, and then he said with a smile.

"Is that really so!" The red-shirted young girl became happy upon hearing this.

"Haha, how could this poor Daoist deceive you with empty words? However, that Small Spring-Returning Array of yours has stopped now, and the situation seems unfavorable again." Nan Qizi smiled, but after glancing at the array diagram that had lost its radiance, he said with deep meaning.

Once these words were spoken, the three young girls' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly looked around, only to see that without the support of the Small Spring-Returning Array, the guards were showing signs of fatigue again, and casualties were appearing once more.

"It's ruined. We only brought one array diagram for the Small Spring-Returning Array. Just now, to block that snake demon, we used up all the power of the matching array flags at once. Now we cannot activate the magic array again." The white-shirted young girl exclaimed.

The other two women also looked at each other in dismay.

"This is indeed quite troublesome!" The Daoist's brows also furrowed. Just as the few of them were thinking of countermeasures, the sounds of killing all around suddenly paused, and then the guards on the turtle carriages burst into cheers simultaneously.

The young girls were stunned and looked again. They saw that the giant insects that had been fighting in a melee with the guards were jumping off the carriages one after another and fleeing in all directions. The insect swarm seemed to have lost its restraint, suddenly becoming extremely chaotic, and all of them had lost their previous ferocious appearance.

"It's done! It must be Sister Liu'er and the others who have dealt with that insect demon." The green-shirted young girl said with a face full of smiles, and the other two women were also beaming with joy.

Sure enough, a moment later, dozens of riders rushed out from the yellow dust in the distance and galloped back toward the caravan.

These riders were the same group of knights riding giant wolves who had killed their way into the insect swarm earlier. However, there were originally over fifty of them, and now only thirty-odd remained, and everyone was wounded and covered in blood, which showed how tragic the previous battle had been.

Urging their giant wolves, these knights returned to the caravan in the blink of an eye.

The scar-faced man threw an object onto the ground without a word; it was actually the head of a giant insect, golden all over, and one look told you it was no ordinary sand insect beast.

And the blue-shirted young girl also brought that blood-colored strange tiger back safely.

The two of them showed a trace of surprise on their faces when they saw the three women and Nan Qizi all standing around Han Li.

At this time, guards who had seen the scene just now immediately stepped forward to explain the whole process to the two of them in detail.

The scar-faced man was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter:

"It seems Zhang really didn't misjudge. Brother Han is truly remarkable. Just after joining our firm, he saved Quan'er. Otherwise, if something had really happened, I would have no face to see the Lady again."

After the blue-shirted young girl heard this, the look she gave Han Li also became extremely kind.

Han Li only smiled slightly and did not interject.

Since this batch of sand insect beasts had been repelled, the entire team naturally needed to reorganize. After resting on the spot for more than half a day, the caravan set off again.

The road ahead became unusually quiet. After traveling for another three days, the caravan walked out of this Qingluo Desert, and an endless vast grassland appeared before everyone.

It was unusually flat!

As a result, the speed of the caravan suddenly increased several times, and those giant turtles began to take large strides, galloping toward the distance like flying.

Han Li, who was lying in the carriage and unable to move, suddenly discovered that the laughter that could still be heard in the caravan had all become silent the moment they entered the grassland.

Not only that, but when the four women sitting in the carriage looked at the emerald green grass outside the carriage window, they all became uneasy, and a look of fear faintly appeared on their faces.
