Chapter 1297: Obtaining the Treasure Again

Although the volume of the Six-Winged Frost Centipede was slightly smaller than the giant scorpion opposite, it was also a behemoth compared to ordinary demonic beasts.

I saw a ferocious giant head poke out of the black mist, and with one mouth, a beam of light as thick as a water vat was sprayed out.

Wherever the white light passed, a "chi-la" sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the air, and the beam of light flashed and hit the giant scorpion's body, piercing a hole a foot large.

The giant scorpion was formed by countless flying scorpions gathering together, so even if it was hit in a vital point, naturally there was no possibility of it feeling great pain or being destroyed just like that. Instead, a harsh buzzing sound came from its mouth, and its high scorpion tail moved toward the centipede's head and stabbed down fiercely.

At the same time, a green light erupted, and the scorpion tail actually crossed a distance of dozens of feet as if it were illusory, arriving at the centipede's head and stabbing down fiercely.

At the same time, the hole pierced in the giant scorpion's abdomen also flew to heal after a wriggle.

And the Six-Winged Frost Centipede, seeing the giant hook stabbing down, didn't care at all, and just shook its six semi-transparent wings slightly, and its figure disappeared on the spot.

The scorpion hook stabbed into empty air with a whistling sound!

The next moment, space twisted above the giant scorpion, and the snow-white centipede appeared coiled like a dragon.

It shook its six wings again, and its body blurred and shot out, and the next moment it plunged into the giant scorpion's body, while a pair of fangs in its mouth pierced deeply into the giant scorpion's body.

A group of milky white cold light bloomed on the surface of the giant scorpion's body, and in the blink of an eye, it covered most of its body, becoming crystal clear.

But after a pause, the giant scorpion's body shattered completely, and countless flying scorpions immediately fell from the sky like rain.

The remaining part of the giant scorpion finally no longer gathered together, but scattered and fled in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the colored poisonous mist turned into nothingness.

The Six-Winged Frost Centipede saw this and didn't go to chase these scorpions, but opened its big mouth, and a gust of white cold wind blew out. It rolled up all the flying scorpion corpses that had fallen to the ground, sucked them into its mouth, and chewed them in large mouthfuls.

Han Li, standing in the distance, felt somewhat relieved at this time.

He finally knew why this Six-Winged Frost Centipede evolved so fast! During the time he left, it probably didn't eat less flying scorpions. These flying scorpions seemed to have some background and were not ordinary demonic insects; if they were swallowed in large quantities, they indeed had a certain catalytic effect.

And since he entered the desert, he hadn't seen any other insect beasts. It seemed that everything that could move had already been swallowed clean by the flying scorpions and this centipede.

Han Li was pondering when the giant centipede had already eaten all the flying scorpions on the ground, then tilted its head and suddenly looked toward the direction where Han Li was, a trace of coldness faintly leaking from its eyes.

Han Li felt a thud in his heart the moment he came into contact with this gaze, and vaguely felt that the thing he was most worried about seemed to have happened after all.

Suddenly, the snow-white centipede in the air let out a low hiss, flapped its six wings at the same time, and suddenly turned into a white afterimage, shooting toward Han Li.

In just a few breaths, it pounced above Han Li's head, staring at Han Li with unkind eyes.

The fangs exposed outside its giant mouth also made a light friction sound.

Han Li revealed a strange look, staring at this insect without blinking, but the hands he had behind his back shook his sleeves, and two Immortal-Extinguishing Beads slid down, being grabbed into his palms without a sound.

The snow-white centipede in the air let out a low hiss, turned around, and suddenly flew away toward the distance. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared beyond the horizon.

This insect actually treated Han Li like a passerby!

It left him here and flew away on its own.

Han Li let out a long sigh of relief, and the tightly stretched face also relaxed. But then he gave a bitter smile.

The unexpected cross-stage evolution of the spirit insect, advancing from four wings to six wings, and having such heaven-defying growth in cultivation, was truly far beyond Han Li's expectations.

These wild ancient insects, although unable to transform into human form like ordinary demonic beasts, already had some initial intelligence.

With strong spiritual power, they naturally had the intention of wanting to cut off that trace of heart-to-heart connection.

If his spiritual power were still there, he could easily suppress the resistance of this insect by relying on the restriction he had planted back then. But he had no spiritual power in his body now, so even with thousands of secret techniques, he was helpless.

Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that a situation of sudden spirit insect backlash would occur.

Because of this, Han Li was truly breaking into a cold sweat, and had even made the worst plan, secretly taking out the Immortal-Extinguishing Beads.

Speaking of which, it was fortunate that the twelve centipedes back then had been carefully cultivated by Han Li since they were eggs, and this had continued for hundreds of years.

The heart-to-heart connection between the two had long been exceptionally solid. And this insect was formed by the twelve gathering together, which was equivalent to merging the twelve connections into one, so naturally, it couldn't be easily shaken off.

Only after a struggle did the centipede finally give up the idea of being unfavorable to Han Li and flew away on its own.

Han Li could only stare blankly, unable to take action to stop it.

Now, looking at the shadow of the black clouds gradually moving away, he felt somewhat dumbfounded.

Back in the human realm, he didn't hesitate to use the mysterious small bottle to painstakingly cultivate this spirit insect, but now that the insect had achieved a mature form, it couldn't be controlled at all.

This gave him a feeling of depression, like a chicken flying and an egg breaking.

However, after Han Li sighed lightly, his state of mind calmed down.

Although this insect had temporarily shaken off his control, as long as his spiritual power was restored, it was still possible to subdue this spirit insect again.

The only concern was that the Spirit Realm was so large, and there were so many cultivators. He hoped this insect wouldn't run away without a trace, or be caught by some other great supernatural being first.

Han Li stood in place for a long time, shook his head, and didn't want to think about this matter anymore. Instead, his spiritual sense turned, and he suddenly thought of the Gold-Devouring Insects and the Soul-Devouring Beast.

He immediately sank his face and walked rapidly, arriving at a certain place more than a hundred feet away in a short while.

Just by looking down, Han Li didn't say a word, clenched his fist with one hand, and with golden light flashing, he struck the ground fiercely.

With a heaven-shaking "boom", the blue-gray sandy ground seemed to have been struck with full force by a top-tier magic treasure, and exploded completely with Han Li as the center.

I saw dust rising high in a mushroom-shaped cloud, and a circular pit appeared below, three or four feet deep and twenty-plus feet wide.

In the middle of the pit, there was a storage bag and three spirit beast bags.

Han Li first saw that the storage bag's mouth was intact, and his heart felt at ease, but after looking at the three spirit beast bags again, he walked over immediately.

He grabbed the bags into his hands and revealed a look of contemplation.

Although his spiritual sense couldn't check the contents of the bags, the sealing marks left on the storage bag's mouth back then were all intact, and after weighing them slightly, he knew that the contents of the bags were not missing anything.

As for the three spirit beast bags, one was empty, which was the one that contained the Six-Winged Frost Centipede.

The other two had their mouths slightly open. Han Li didn't need to look, and through the subtle heart-to-heart connection, he could sense the existence of the Gold-Devouring Insects and the Soul-Devouring Beast. From one of the bags, there even came the sound of the Soul-Devouring Beast snoring in its sleep.

Han Li curled his lips, and the last trace of worry vanished without a trace.

He immediately tied the bags tightly and tucked them into his bosom.

These bags were small and exquisite, and from the outside, one couldn't see any abnormality on Han Li's body.

However, the giant insect shell left by the Six-Winged Frost Centipede was quite troublesome.

He frowned, simply struck several more punches, expanded the pit, threw the entire insect shell into it, and covered it with thick sand.

After Han Li circled the spot several times and confirmed that there were no traces left, he revealed a look of satisfaction.

He looked up at the direction where the black clouds had disappeared, and after his face turned grim for a moment, Han Li turned around and walked away in the opposite direction.

This time, his destination for the long journey was a famous demonic beast land millions of miles away.

That was the border area adjacent to the Tianyuan Realm and a certain demonic land.

The entire area spanned the Tianyuan Realm and the demonic beast land, each possessing a small portion of it. And the vastest and largest part of this area was a no-man's-land, used as a buffer.

Therefore, demonic beasts, wild ancient beasts, and numerous half-demons were frequently active here, and the further one went toward the vastest middle area, the more dangerous it became.

It is said that some people have seen mysterious spirit races with Spirit Transformation-level vehicles, have seen ancient giants dozens of feet tall, and some have claimed to hear roars similar to true dragons, and so on.

So many strange rumors naturally added a layer of mystery to this land. However, most people just laughed off these rumors after hearing them and wouldn't truly believe them.

That Spirit Transformation-level demonic cultivators and cultivators appeared in this area was a genuine fact. This made the high-level figures of both the human and demonic races quite wary, and they coincidentally limited the level of conflict to this realm. If higher-level power appeared, it would truly trigger a great war between the human and demonic races.

That was a heaven-defying role that could directly disturb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, make rivers flow backward, and move giant mountains.

Even existences like the Three Emperors and Seven Demon Kings were only at the Body Integration Great Perfection stage.

With so many dangers appearing, this area should have been sparsely populated.

But this place had never been officially developed by the human and demonic races, and the spiritual veins and spiritual herbs inside were extremely rich, far beyond ordinary imagination, and there were even several spiritual objects unique to this place, which were highly valued by the Three Emperors and other existences, who spent sky-high spirit stones to purchase them every year.

Under such circumstances, naturally, a large number of cultivators and body refiners flocked here one after another.

Some wanted to try their luck and get some spiritual herbs. Others were simply using the slaughter here to break through their cultivation bottlenecks. Speaking of which, it was somewhat similar to a beast tide.

It's just that the cultivators and body refiners who dared to come to this area naturally didn't have existences as low as Qi Condensation stage and low-tier body refiners. Otherwise, they were just coming here to die.

The personnel sent by the demonic race on the opposite side were naturally similar existences.

Under these circumstances, after several years of dusty travel, Han Li finally arrived at this border area.
