Chapter 1471
At this moment, streaks of white light suddenly appeared in the previously pitch-black sky, then scattered, turning into milky white specks of light that drifted down slowly.
At the same time, the light on the small beast's body suddenly changed, turning an unusually pink.
Then, a strange fragrance emanated from the small beast's body, making anyone who smelled it unable to help but salivate, as if the little leopard qilin's body had instantly become a rare delicacy in the world..
Originally, Bai Bi and the others had found Han Li and the small beast's actions somewhat strange, but upon smelling this fragrance, they all couldn't help but be stunned.
"Nirvana Meat Fragrance! Brother Han, your spirit beast is about to advance!" Bai Bi's face 'color' changed slightly.
"Not bad, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a day." Han Li stroked the small beast twice, then nodded as he stood up.
"Naturally, a spirit beast advancing is a good thing, but it happening here is no small matter. Once this fragrance spreads, I'm afraid all the demonic beasts in the Ice Sha region will swarm here. One careless mistake, and if a high-level demonic beast we don't know appears, we might also be in danger." Bai Bi's 'expression' didn't look good.
"I naturally know this. Does Brother Bai want me to ignore my spirit beast and just leave?" Han Li's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said calmly.
"I don't mean that, but..." Upon hearing Han Li's somewhat unfriendly tone, Bai Bi hurriedly denied it and wanted to explain something, but Han Li waved his hand, cutting off his following words:
"No matter what you think. If you feel it's dangerous, you can leave on your own, but I won't leave."
Han Li had a look of decisive firmness.
Upon hearing Han Li say this, Bai Bi, Lei Lan, and others looked at each other, unable to help but wryly smile.
They didn't find Han Li's such attitude strange at all.
If it were them, a spirit beast about to advance to the level of a spirit general would be regarded as life itself, and they wouldn't lightly give it up.
At this time, Han Li no longer paid attention to the other three, busying himself on his own.
The small beast's advancement would at least take a full day and night; during this period, any nearby demonic beast that catches the scent might be drawn here. Of course, this place is the Ice Sha region, so naturally, Ice Sha demonic beasts are the most numerous here.
Han Li's body flashed with green light, and he instantly soared into midair, then flicked his storage bracelet with one hand, causing a stack of formation flags and formation disks to appear in his hand.
He raised one hand!
Dozens of beams of light shot out in all directions, then flashed and disappeared into the void one after another.
"Boom—" A loud roar came from the nearby ground, ten red 'color' light pillars burst from beneath the ice, and immediately, a massive formation with a diameter of a hundred zhang appeared on the ice surface.
The formation was filled with strange patterns, red 'color' runes fluttering continuously.
And a scorching aura spread out, vaguely carrying the taste of scorching the air.
This is a set of fire-attributed 'nature' formation tools that Han Li once spent many spirit stones collecting in Tian Yuan City, capable of forming a forbidden formation called the "Ten Directions Extinguishing Flame Formation."
The power of this formation is not small; once set up, even a Soul Transformation cultivator entering the formation cannot immediately break out.
If it is an ice-cold attributed 'nature' demonic beast that opposes it in nature, its power becomes even more terrifying.
However, that's not all—Han Li pinched a seal with both hands, and seventy-two gold 'color' small swords shot out simultaneously from various parts of his body, flying toward the top of his head, and in a buzzing sound, transformed into hundreds of identical sword lights.
Han Li murmured words in his mouth, pointing at the dense sword lights in the sky.
Instantly, hundreds of gold lights surged in all directions with a clamor, and after a few flashes, they disappeared into the void.
Han Li actually set up his own Great Geng Sword Formation within the grand formation.
With his current peak Soul Transformation cultivation, the sword formation he set up is such that even a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator entering it would have no luck escaping. As for how much restraining force it could exert on a Body Integration cultivator, it's hard to say. Only after trying would one know.
After doing all this, Han Li hovered above the formation, narrowed his eyes slightly in thought, and shook his sleeve again.
A cluster of silver flame flew out from his sleeve, let out a clear cry, and turned into a silver 'color' firebird, which after circling, actually "whooshed" into the ice below and vanished without a trace.
Afterward, Han Li raised his hand and released the triangular spirit carriage he had used once that day.
He let the carriage hover motionless above the formation, then sat cross-legged in it himself, closing his eyes to nurture his spirit.
At this time, the small beast below was completely wrapped in specks of white light, and simultaneously, the fragrance it emitted became even more alluring; even though Han Li had set up such a forbidden grand formation, it could not shield this scent in the slightest.
The fragrance spread with an extremely alluring aura, quickly spreading toward the distant darkness.
And after Lei Lan and the three others had a brief low-voice discussion, they still honestly flew over and also stood on the spirit carriage.
These three people naturally did not want to get caught in the frenzied attack of demonic beasts, but judging from the previous danger, without Han Li's protection, not to mention searching for the Nether Flame Fruit, they might find it hard even to enter the third layer.
Thus, these three people could only grit their teeth and stay.
Fortunately, Han Li's preparations were also very thorough, and additionally, Han Li had always been profoundly mysterious in their hearts; as long as no overly powerful demonic beast appeared, delaying for a day here was still acceptable.
Time passed bit by bit, the milky white 'color' light points falling from the sky increased more and more, completely submerging the small beast's form, leaving nothing visible.
Originally silent, the leopard qilin, within the white light, also let out low humming sounds, as if enduring some unbearable pain.
"Spirit beast advancement is vastly different from ours; each time it can greatly strengthen the physical body, far beyond what we flying spirits can compare to." Qin Xiao Ning gazed at the white light below and murmured.
"That's true, but this kind of marrow-washing pain from the Yi Jing is also not something we can compare to." Lei Lan gave a slight smile and said.
Bai Bi, however, gazed into the distant dark ice land, and a solemn 'color' appeared on his face.
At this moment, the surroundings had become somewhat too quiet. Besides the faint whistling of the wind, there was no other sound. And the strange fragrance emanating from the small beast's body had already spread who knows how far. As for very distant places, it's hard to say, but demonic beasts within a hundred li radius could not possibly have missed this fragrance.
Bai Bi thought this, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Han Li.
Han Li's eyes were slightly closed, his 'expression' unusually calm.
Bai Bi's gaze flashed, his lips about to move to say something when Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, his pupil light flashing with a crystalline luster!
Almost simultaneously, a rustling sound came from the darkness in a certain direction, as if countless things were swarming toward this side.
This made Bai Bi's 'expression' change, and Lei Lan and Qin Xiao, who were lowly talking, also fell silent and looked in the same direction.
Only to see countless pairs of red 'color' eyes appearing in the distance, followed by a large group of blackish things about a chi in height, emerging from the black 'color' and lunging forward one after another.
Their bodies were pitch-black and glossy, and as their limbs moved, the rustling sound quickly came from far to near.
They were actually a large group of hideous-looking ice spiders!
At a glance, the spider swarm seemed boundless, instantly covering a vast expanse of ice ground.
However, these lowest-level Ice Sha demonic beasts didn't even require Han Li to act; Qin Xiao of the Night Green Tribe just let out a coquettish shout, shook her sleeve, and instantly more than ten green beams shot out, directly landing in the spider swarm.
"Boom—boom" Several muffled sounds came, and instantly more than ten wooden puppets about a zhang in height appeared in the insect swarm.
These puppets resembled giant lizards, and they showed no movement, merely lowering their bodies slightly, opening their mouths, and shooting out green 'color' light pillars from within.
Wherever the green light passed, all ice spiders melted like spring snow thawing, unable to resist this light in the slightest.
These puppets stood side by side, and instantly, as their heads swayed left and right, they prevented the distant ice spiders from advancing even a step; hundreds to thousands of spider corpses covered the ground, and in the blink of an eye, piled up into a thick layer.
Although the number of ice spiders was truly too great, even so their green light was unusually sharp, but in their relentless succession, they seemed utterly indifferent to their own lives.
Although the green light spewed by these dozen or so giant lizard puppets was formidable, their spirit stone consumption was clearly substantial; after only a short while, the green light from their mouths grew dim, and they could no longer instantly kill the spiders behind them.
Thus, countless spiders surged forward in a rush, breaking through *** and immediately approaching these puppets.
With a series of "puff puff" sounds, countless black threads spewed from the spider swarm, instantly enveloping the giant lizard puppets beneath them, the entwining threads wind and rain proof.
Then, with a pull of the black threads, over a dozen puppets collapsed to the ground in succession, unable to move an inch.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xiao, standing in the spirit carriage, felt somewhat startled, yet simultaneously felt her face lose all luster, and immediately said in a low voice:
"Several fellow cultivators need not act; these little things, I, the younger sister, will handle." With that, this woman instantly transformed into a cluster of green light, soaring into the sky; after a few flashes, she emerged from the great formation and arrived at the low altitude above the ice spiders.
The spider swarm naturally detected the aerial target at once; immediately after a chorus of hissing sounds, countless black threads shot toward the woman in midair.
Qin Xiao's complexion darkened, and suddenly a layer of eerie, gloomy green flame appeared on her body; upon contact, the black threads instantly turned into blue smoke and vanished without a trace.
The woman then let out a low cry from her mouth, swept her hand horizontally, and a green-colored fire sword appeared in her hand, which she lightly swung downward.
Instantly, a thick column of green flame slashed downward; with a tremendous boom, a massive trench about a zhang wide appeared before the spider swarm.
Inside, the green flame rolled; all ice spiders that fell into it vanished into nothingness within moments.
Qin Xiao then curled the corner of her mouth into a smile, intending to add a few more strokes to widen the trench slightly, when suddenly several angry cries echoed from the distant darkness, and several massive figures, each about a zhang in size, burst forth.
The woman gazed downward, and her complexion involuntarily changed.
These massive figures were four giant spiders far surpassing their peers in size, each bearing black-colored stiff hairs on their backs and baring sharp fangs, roaring angrily as they charged.
Qin Xiao raised her elegant brows, lifted her fire sword horizontally, and prepared to mercilessly slash at them.
But at that very moment, after a flow of black light across the spiders' bodies, a pair of dull black cicada wings appeared on their backs.
With a shake, they all shot up into the sky.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao's relaxed expression instantly tightened!
