Chapter 206

The girl's words obviously startled those Yanyue Sect disciples. According to their experience from the previous two days, as long as a top-tier monster was trapped by their Ancestor, it wouldn't be able to break free from the ring magic treasure's prohibition for a while. How could this monster break free so quickly? Net

Although they were full of doubts, they didn't dare to ignore the girl's warning and immediately became twelve times more careful. Of course, the red and blue light pillar attacks in their hands became even more fierce. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen more blood holes appeared on the Ink Flood Dragon's body, and the bright red dragon blood dyed a large area of the swamp below red.

Of course, this also angered the dragon even more. It opened its mouth, and the miserable shrieking sound continued endlessly, shaking the entire underground world until it hummed, making everyone present dizzy and spinning.

"Shila," a strange tearing sound rang out in the air! When everyone regained their senses and looked closely, all their expressions changed drastically.

The ring magic treasure was still motionless in mid-air, but the Ink Flood Dragon monster trapped inside had disappeared into thin air, leaving only a tattered black scale skin hanging on the ring and swaying non-stop. This monster had actually shed its skin and escaped!

Not only were the Yanyue Sect disciples surprised, but even the young girl was shocked when she saw this scene!

Her shouting for the disciples to be careful just now was not because she had anticipated the dragon's skin-shedding move.

It was because the Ink Flood Dragon's breaking force was too great, and her magic power was really insufficient to continue trapping this fierce beast. The monster should have known this from the weakening of the Vermilion Bird Ring's prohibition, so why did it have to make such a move that hurt its vitality? Could it be...!

The girl's heart moved, and she thought of a terrible reason. Her face turned completely white, and she hurriedly searched for the Ink Flood Dragon everywhere, wanting to verify her extremely bad guess!

"Over there!"

A sharp-eyed Yanyue Sect disciple first discovered the monster swimming non-stop, tightly pressed against the top of the underground world. At this time, it had taken on a new look, and its form was vastly different from before.

Its pitch-black body became snow-white and scaleless, its length grew from three or four feet to five or six feet, and it was also a circle thicker. The injured places only left faint scars, so light that they were almost invisible. What was most surprising was that a black, sharp horn an inch long had grown on its triangular snake head, faintly showing luster, and a pair of white claws had grown on its abdomen, incomparably sharp. This monster had actually transformed from a snake into a dragon, and its form was exactly the same as the legendary flood dragon.

Seeing the Ink Flood Dragon's form at this time, the Yanyue Sect people were naturally suspicious. But before they could take any action, the girl standing at the very front gave an order that made them feel extremely astonished, her expression iron-blue.

"Everyone, retreat immediately! The Ink Flood Dragon has already evolved to the second stage! Its strength is comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if we add up, we will definitely not be its match. Escape from this place immediately; I can still entangle it for a short while."

After the girl said this solemnly, she immediately beckoned with her hand, letting the Vermilion Bird Ring fly back in front of her, putting on a posture of complete defense.

The male and female disciples behind hesitated when they heard this. Although the so-called Ink Flood Dragon had shed a layer of skin and its form had changed greatly, they had just beaten it into serious injury, so it was really hard to believe that this monster's strength could be vastly different in the blink of an eye.

But just this moment of hesitation was enough to make some people regret it for life! Because the white Ink Flood Dragon suddenly moved its body and rushed to the sky above the Yanyue Sect crowd like lightning. Then, it opened its mouth wide, and a continuous stream of purple liquid sprayed out.

"Hurry and dodge, don't take it!"

The girl shouted hurriedly, her face showing anxiety, and at the same time, the Vermilion Bird Ring immediately became several times larger, flying up to block most of the purple liquid.

Some clever disciples heard this and either hurriedly turned back and darted into the bluestone passage they came from, or immediately stepped forward a few paces to hide within the range covered by the ring magic treasure. The remaining five or six disciples, relying on the powerful magic tools they possessed, not only didn't dodge but instead released one or two shiny objects to protect their heads, seemingly intending to take it head-on!

"Idiots!"

Seeing that some disciples didn't listen to what she said, green light flashed on the girl's face, revealing an angry expression. But limited by her magic power, she couldn't expand the coverage of the magic treasure. She could only let them fend for themselves!

Sure enough, the scene that happened next confirmed that what the girl said was not false. The purple liquid that leaked past the ring magic treasure sprayed fiercely onto the heads of those disciples, and those magic tools that looked like they were not common items only flashed with light a few times before emitting a few wisps of green smoke and disappearing into the impact of the purple liquid, melting away completely.

And those Yanyue Sect disciples only had time to exclaim before they disappeared from the world without a trace under the impact of the purple liquid. Where they stood, only a deep hole several feet deep melted by the purple liquid remained, making the remaining Yanyue Sect people pale.

At this time, the Ink Flood Dragon monster saw that those disciples had been eliminated, its violent feelings slightly dissipated, and it finally closed its mouth and stopped spraying, switching to staring at the girl with cold eyes. It seemed very clear that this Yanyue Sect Ancestor was its formidable enemy.

"What are you all dazed for? Why don't you get out quickly! This beast has just transformed from a snake into a dragon, its elixir liquid shouldn't be much left, it won't spray easily again!" The girl ignored the Ink Flood Dragon's tiger-like gaze and instead ordered coldly with a cold face.

Then, she muttered bitterly: "It's just a small snake that has just entered the second level, yet it dares to be so arrogant in front of me. If I had restored my original magic power, I would have caught you back to guard the cave long ago!"

Not mentioning the girl's unwilling look, the other Yanyue Sect disciples, after seeing the miserable state of those people, didn't dare to stay for a moment longer. Immediately, with a "hula" sound, everyone obediently retreated into the passage and then ran wildly toward the outside.

Not long after, the monster's roar, the girl's delicate scolding, and the rumbling sound of fighting came from behind. These disciples, while rolling and crawling on the stairs, were terrified.

Their Ancestor had made it clear that she could only entangle it for a short while. If they left late and were caught up by the Ink Flood Dragon, one mouthful of that terrifying purple liquid each, there would be no room for dodging in this passage. Wouldn't that be a miserable death!

At this time, the girl was drenched in sweat, flying back and forth in the air, constantly fighting the Ink Flood Dragon. That Vermilion Bird Ring magic treasure was used by her to the point of perfection, teasing the monster until it roared in anger, but for a while, it couldn't do anything to the girl whose movement technique was extremely light and agile.

The girl obviously hadn't used her full strength, only using one hand to drive the Vermilion Bird Ring, while holding a red fire spirit stone in her other hand, constantly absorbing spiritual energy, trying to restore her magic power.

After a while, the girl felt that the time was about right. She put away the fire spirit stone and took out a golden, shiny talisman.

Without a word, taking advantage of the Ink Flood Dragon's attention being fully attracted by the Vermilion Bird Ring, she raised her hand, and the talisman turned into a streak of golden light, shooting toward the monster. When it reached in front of it, the golden light suddenly split into countless thin, long golden threads, instantly binding the monster tightly, unable to move a single bit, which made the monster roar wildly again in anger.

Seeing this, a look of mockery flashed across the girl's eyes. Then, she looked at the golden box floating in the white jade pavilion with reluctance before gritting her teeth and flying toward the tunnel entrance. She knew very well that this mid-level mid-tier golden thread talisman couldn't trap the monster for long, so it would be better to leave this place as soon as possible. As for the treasure in the golden box, she would think of a way to plot for it later!

After the girl landed, she raised her leg, wanting to step into the bluestone passage, but a deafening thunderous sound came from the passage. This sound came from far to near, getting louder and louder, making the girl somewhat surprised and uncertain. Her raised delicate foot actually didn't dare to step onto the passage for a moment.

A dazzling green divine light suddenly appeared in the passage, sweeping over like a surging tide along the passage. Wherever it went, the entire bluestone passage actually seemed to come alive, desperately squeezing toward the middle. In the blink of an eye, the passage that was several feet high was sealed so tightly that not even a crack remained. Seeing this, the girl retreated several steps in a panic as if she had seen a ghost, and exclaimed:

"Small Five Elements Sumeru Prohibition!"

Then her face turned pale, and she stared at the disappeared tunnel entrance in a daze. The confident expression she had always maintained disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this time, in the mid-air behind the girl, the golden threads on the Ink Flood Dragon began to break inch by inch. The monster was about to break the prohibition in the blink of an eye. When the girl, who had regained her senses, saw this scene, her heart sank even more, as if she had fallen into an bottomless abyss.

In the main hall of the stone hall outside the passage, a dozen or so Yanyue Sect disciples were all staring fixedly at a white-clothed woman. This woman was actually the arrogant girl who claimed to be one of the Yanyue Twins, but at this time, her face was pale, and she looked at a loss!

"Junior Sister Zhao, what exactly did you do just now? How did the tunnel entrance disappear after you threw in a strange talisman? Are you trying to harm Ancestor Nangong?" These male and female Yanyue Sect disciples asked sternly with panic on their faces.

This was no joking matter! If this Ancestor really couldn't come out because of this, then they would be miserable! After returning, the light punishment would be the total abolition of cultivation and expulsion from the sect, and the heavy punishment would be the loss of life and suffering the pain of military disintegration. What the loss of a Core Formation stage cultivator meant to a sect, they all knew very well, which was why they became even more nervous.

"I didn't do anything! I just stuck a mid-level low-tier 'Small Five Elements Talisman' at the entrance, wanting to wait for the monster to chase after us and then activate it to give it some suffering!" the white-clothed girl said in a panic.

She knew very well that if such a disaster happened, even if her backing was strong, it would be of no use! Thinking of the terrible consequences of the girl not being able to come out, this woman felt her hands and feet turn cold!

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's try to see if we can clear the tunnel and rescue Ancestor Nangong!" a relatively older male disciple said unhappily.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately reminded the Yanyue Sect disciples. They hurriedly took out all kinds of colorful magic tools and surrounded the place that should have been the tunnel entrance, smashing down non-stop, trying to break the prohibition again and rescue the girl.

Several hours later, dozens of feet below, in the underground world, the girl opened her big eyes and looked in disbelief at a person who had suddenly appeared before her eyes. This person was commanding seven golden blades with one hand to attack the Ink Flood Dragon, while with the other hand, he released a black iron shield to block in front of the two of them to prevent the Ink Flood Dragon's spraying.

This person was actually the little fellow from the Yellow Maple Valley whom she had met once and faintly felt was interesting. This person had suddenly drilled out from somewhere when she had been flying and dodging the Ink Flood Dragon's attacks for several hours and her magic power was about to be exhausted, rescuing her when she was in extreme danger.

Han Li was barely parrying the Ink Flood Dragon's attack while glancing at the girl who was full of surprise, feeling a bitter smile in his heart.

Han Li had originally been watching the good show of the Yanyue Sect fighting the Ink Flood Dragon in a leisurely and carefree manner. Even when the Ink Flood Dragon changed its form and evolved, apart from being greatly astonished, he didn't have any look of panic. But when the girl wanted to retreat and the bluestone passage entrance suddenly disappeared, Han Li couldn't sit still anymore.

Didn't the disappearance of this tunnel entrance mean that no matter whether the girl or the monster won, he couldn't leave this place alive! This made Han Li panic.

At this time, the escaped Ink Flood Dragon was fighting the girl again. It was very clear that this Yanyue Sect Ancestor was completely at a disadvantage.

Even though she kept driving the ring magic treasure to attack the Ink Flood Dragon, the monster that had changed its skin had reached an unbelievable level of defense. No matter if the ring magic treasure sprayed flames to burn the dragon or directly used the magic treasure body to strike, it couldn't cause too much damage to it. At most, it left a part of its body charred black or bruised a little, instead making the fierce beast even more violent. The pursuit of the girl also became more crazy, even forcing the girl into a desperate situation several times.

But this Yanyue Sect Ancestor had so many mid-level talismans on her that Han Li's eyes were opened. A series of rare talismans such as "Earth Escape Talisman," "Water Prison Talisman," "Fire Bird Talisman," etc., were all seen by Han Li one by one.

Whenever the girl was about to be injured by the monster, she would throw one out, immediately producing miraculous effects and turning danger into safety. But unfortunately, the girl obviously didn't have talismans with great lethality, so each time she could only barely protect herself. It seemed that wanting to rely on talismans to injure the Ink Flood Dragon was impossible!

Seeing the girl being forced into a miserable state by the Ink Flood Dragon, Han Li's inner struggle became intense!

If the tunnel had been intact before, Han Li naturally wouldn't have cared about the life or death of this Yanyue Sect Ancestor. But now that the tunnel had disappeared inexplicably and this place had become a dead end, Han Li's mentality was naturally very different.

After all, he had heard with his own ears this Yanyue Sect Ancestor call out some "Small Five Elements Sumeru Prohibition." It seemed that she should be extremely knowledgeable about the prohibition that caused the tunnel to disappear. Therefore, the hope of escaping from the underground had to be pinned on this woman. He knew nothing about things like prohibitions, so this girl "high-level person" couldn't die now!

However, Han Li didn't rush to take action. He was afraid that the girl still had some trump cards, so he only took action to rescue the girl when she was exhausted, her talismans were thrown away, and she was looking desperate and helpless.

For Han Li's sudden appearance, the girl was greatly surprised and happy, but also somewhat annoyed! She saw clearly Han Li's intention of letting her fight the Ink Flood Dragon until now before taking action.

But no matter what, dealing with the fierce Ink Flood Dragon in front of her was the right thing to do, so after the girl rested slightly, she drove the magic treasure to attack without a word.

And as soon as Han Li took over from the Ink Flood Dragon, he secretly cried out in bitterness. Just now, watching the girl fight this beast, he didn't see any sharpness of the monster at all, but now that he was personally on the field, he experienced the horror of this dragon!

His "Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blades" could be considered premium among top-tier magic tools, but those streaks of golden light, as soon as they approached the Ink Flood Dragon, were casually swiped away by its two claws and one tail, immediately flying backward for more than ten feet, without any power to parry.

Even if Han Li relied on quantity and several golden blades went up together, they could only leave a white mark on the Ink Flood Dragon, without any other effect. This made Han Li completely speechless.

And Han Li didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless about the monster's attacks on him. Not to mention letting the opponent's claws and tail touch him, even the black water that the opponent occasionally sprayed, Han Li blocked it all with the iron shield without a drop missing.

Even so, this magic tool that had saved Han Li several times was also corroded into pits and bumps by this inconspicuous black water, and he really didn't know how much longer it could hold on.

The power of this black water was so terrifying, wouldn't those more vicious purple liquids be even more outrageous! This was no wonder those Yanyue Sect disciples died so cleanly; their magic tools didn't play any role at all.

Han Li and the Ink Flood Dragon fought, feeling more and more startled, almost entirely relying on his movement technique to get rid of the monster's fierce attack. Those golden blades couldn't stop the opponent at all.

No wonder the girl let all the disciples under her leave this place! Apart from someone like him whose movement technique was superior, Han Li really couldn't find many Qi Condensation stage disciples who could deal with this monster.

Just at this moment, the girl's Vermilion Bird Ring came, which immediately made Han Li's pressure greatly reduced. After all, this ring magic treasure could still cause some pain to the Ink Flood Dragon, making it somewhat wary.

"Little fellow, you've been hiding there for so long, why didn't you take action earlier? If you had taken action earlier, maybe I would have had a chance to seriously injure this beast!" the girl said while manipulating the magic treasure to attack, questioning angrily.

"I was afraid you would kill me to seize the treasure!" Han Li replied very honestly, which immediately made the girl speechless for a long time.

Han Li understood very well that although this woman looked young, in terms of her real age, she was definitely more than enough to be his grandmother, so it was better to play fewer tricks! It was best to state his intentions directly so that both sides could join forces to fight the enemy without holding each other back.

As for the other party's identity as a Core Formation stage expert and the difference in their seniority, Han Li also vaguely skipped over it, pretending not to know. Anyway, with the other party's current strength, she couldn't do anything to him! For the girl who had lost most of her magic power, Han Li now had no fear.

"Little fellow, you are so young, yet you have so many thoughts. Aren't you afraid you won't live long in the future!" the girl said unhappily after being depressed for a moment.

Han Li laughed when he heard this, but didn't refute, but secretly thought in his heart: "If I had fewer thoughts, I would have probably hung up several times already, let alone talking about the future!"

Seeing that Han Li didn't speak anymore and let her say so, the girl's anger dissipated a little, and she began to consider the strategy to deal with the enemy.

"Do you have any way to seriously injure this dragon? If you do, say it early!" the girl asked, unable to help herself, after seeing that after joining forces with Han Li for a while, they were still being chased around by this Ink Flood Dragon and had no room to fight back.

"I do, but it requires trapping the opponent for a short time and not letting it move!" Han Li responded hurriedly while using the iron shield to block the Ink Flood Dragon's next spray, his figure jumping non-stop, trying his best to increase the distance from the Ink Flood Dragon.

"Good, I'll risk my last bit of magic power and can trap it for a while longer. I hope it's enough for you! But is your method reliable?" the girl's eyes lit up when she heard this. She followed closely behind the Ink Flood Dragon that was chasing Han Li, smashed the dragon head with the Vermilion Bird Ring, and then said urgently.

"I have a high-power talisman treasure, its power is great, it will definitely break this dragon's defense!" Han Li said confidently. He didn't believe that this monster could block the full-force strike of the Golden Light Brick talisman treasure.

"Talisman treasure?"

Hearing this, the girl was overjoyed. She never expected that the little fellow from the Yellow Maple Valley in front of her could actually get such a rare thing. Although she also had one or two talisman treasures, their power was not as good as her Vermilion Bird Ring! Since the other party was so confident, it seemed it should be a talisman treasure with pure destructive power. This was absolutely a rare item!

Since she understood that Han Li's method was feasible, the girl immediately stopped in mid-air, cast the spell that had trapped the dragon before, and firmly trapped the Vermilion Bird Ring on the monster again, making it struggle in anger.

Seeing this good opportunity, Han Li immediately blocked in front of him with the Flying Sky Shield, reached back and took out the Golden Light Brick talisman treasure, and then sat down cross-legged!
