Chapter 1478: Blood River Underworld Needle (Part 1)

Looking at the mist below, Han Li's pupils flashed with blue light, and his gaze pierced through the gray mist, seeing the situation below clearly.

He shook his sleeve, and a gust of wild wind surged out from his sleeve, blowing the mist into a churn and finally clearing away most of it.

The scenery below suddenly became vaguely visible.

There was indeed a small water pool below, with an area of only a hundred zhang or so. And at a place no more than ten zhang away from the water pool, there were dozens of trees of varying heights, most of which were different from the surrounding Rotten Leaf Trees.

There were several pitch-black and green trees, each bearing a strange, pitch-black fruit the size of a fist at the top of their branches and leaves.

The surface of these fruits was extremely rough, with countless tiny cracks open, and black energy could be seen faintly flowing in and out of them.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and recalled slightly. It was exactly the same as the Underworld Flame Fruit recorded in the classics.

Not only Han Li, but the others also saw these fruits, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Junior Sister Lei didn't see wrong. It is indeed the Underworld Flame Fruit." Bai Bi said happily.

"Pick the mature fruits. It seems there are enough for us to share." Han Li stared at them for a few more moments before saying slowly, his expression always unhurried.

"If those guys from the Red Melt Tribe want to ambush us on the third layer, let them continue waiting!" Lei Lan also said jokingly.

Clearly, she was in an extremely happy mood!

Qin Xiao was naturally equally happy.

Just as the three intended to land immediately to pick the fruits, suddenly Han Li's expression sank. Without turning his head, he raised his arm and pressed it against a certain void behind him.

A loud "shredding" sound rang out!

A five-colored giant hand a zhang in size appeared out of thin air and grabbed down ruthlessly without hesitation.

An unbelievable scene appeared!

In the empty space covered by the five-colored giant hand, blood light flashed, and a blood-colored giant hand appeared, meeting it in reverse.

With a "Boom," the five fingers collided with the five fingers, and amidst the intertwining of blood light and five-colored light flames, they dissipated and vanished simultaneously.

"Eh"

"Interesting!"

Two completely different sounds of surprise were issued simultaneously.

The one who issued the sound of surprise was Han Li, who had turned his head and witnessed all this.

The one who spoke was a mist of blood that appeared where the blood-colored giant hand had emerged.

A tall human figure could be vaguely seen in the mist.

"Who are you, and why are you sneaking around?" Han Li stared at the blood mist and said word by word, sounding extremely stern.

"A Spirit General-level existence can actually discover me. It seems there really is a problem." The figure in the blood mist let out a strange, sinister laugh, as if talking to himself.

"You guys go down and take the Underworld Flame Fruit, leave this person to me." Han Li's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand at Lei Lan and the other three, who were somewhat stunned, ordering them stiffly.

"Yes!"

"As you command!"

"Brother Han, be careful!"

Although Lei Lan and the other three couldn't see the strength of the figure in the blood mist, seeing Han Li's solemn expression, their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat, and they hurriedly replied.

Then, the three of them rose in their escape lights and landed toward the Underworld Flame Fruit below.

"Why, you are interested in those fruit trees below. Hehe, although they are not good things, they are not so easy to get." The figure in the blood mist scanned Lei Lan, Bai Bi, and the others, saying this in a strange tone.

Han Li's heart trembled. With a movement of his divine sense, he wanted to open his mouth to remind Bai Bi and the others, but it was already too late.

With a loud bang below, the water in the water pool suddenly surged, and several pink tentacles swept out from the water, while countless water arrows shot out densely.

Bai Bi and the others were startled as they landed by the water pool.

The Underworld Flame Fruit was right behind them, so how could they easily dodge? With no other choice, the three of them had to cast their divine abilities to take the hit.

One person rubbed both hands, releasing several thick silver arcs, another wove countless golden threads from in front of him, and Qin Xiao spat out a piece of green light mist.

The three divine abilities intertwined, colliding with the tentacles and water arrows.

With a "Boom," Lei Lan and the other three felt their bodies shake, and they couldn't help but retreat a few steps.

And those tentacles, under so many attacks, became charred and flesh-mangled, flying everywhere.

A painful roar came from the water pool, and the water surged. A brown demonic creature resembling an octopus emerged from under the water, glaring at the shore with green monster eyes, while countless tentacles emerged from under the water, each ten zhang high, making people look on with awe.

This monster had dense blue fur on its giant head, and every time its tentacles waved, they emitted the sound of tearing space.

What made Lei Lan and the others feel even more depressed was that after a flash of blue light, the wounds on those injured tentacles healed instantly, recovering as before.

The monster had no intention of stopping, having long since regarded the area around the water pool as its territory. It raised its head and let out a roar filled with madness, and as its tentacles waved, it released sheets of blue light, rolling toward the three of them.

Lei Lan and the others, for the sake of the Underworld Flame Fruit, would not retreat a single step and also shouted in a low voice, casting their divine abilities to meet them.

Instantly, the sounds of thunder and explosions were incessant, and the three of them were trapped in a struggle with the octopus-like monster.

On the other side, Han Li withdrew his sidelong glance, his face expressionless, showing no sign of worry.

That monster was fierce, but after a while, it would definitely not be a match for the three Saint Children, Lei Lan and the others. But the guy in front of him was clearly a great enemy and had to be dealt with carefully.

"What relationship do you have with the blood puppets that appeared earlier?" Han Li stared at the opposite side and suddenly asked this.

"Hehe, blood puppets! So the old monster Di Xue has already sent people here. They should have been slaughtered by you. Good, very good! It seems it was worth my trip here." A cold laugh came from the figure in the blood mist, with no intention of answering Han Li's question.

Han Li frowned, and the flying swords in his body began to leap with eagerness.

But at this moment, a sharp, piercing sound rang out on the opposite side, making his ears ache faintly.

Han Li was terrified in his heart. Before he could figure out what was going on, a cold wind hit his face, and a blood needle as thin as a hair shot out from the void close at hand, reaching Han Li's brow.
