Chapter 458: Black Desert

Not long after, a male cultivator walked up slowly from the other side of the small mountain. WM Net

This person looked to be in his forties, with a sallow face, and was precisely the male cultivator who was as afraid as a tiger toward Ancestor Extreme Yin at the grand hall.

At this moment, he wore a strangely shaped emerald-green hat on his head and held a white jade bowl in his hands, with cold air faintly dissipating from his body in such scorching heat.

It could be seen that these two items were extraordinary.

As soon as this person climbed to the top of the mountain, he looked around with a vigilant expression, as if searching for something.

Seeing that there was nothing in the surroundings, his cautious expression became even more intense.

He had vaguely seen a human figure swaying on this small mountain when he looked at it from afar not long ago.

Now that he had arrived at this place, that person was nowhere to be found. This naturally made the male cultivator incomparably vigilant!

After coldly looking at the surroundings again, he didn't say a word and stuck two fingers into the jade bowl, then pulled them out violently. A white light flew out from the bowl following his action, transforming into a circular arc and circling above his head.

"Swift!"

The sallow-faced cultivator pinched a magic formula with one hand and spat out lightly from his mouth.

With a light "bang" sound, the white light burst apart after trembling, transforming into starlight like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, covering a range of several dozen zhang in the surroundings.

Where the white light fell, layers of frost condensed on the red ground, but there was still not a trace of abnormality in the surroundings.

Seeing this, a look of suspicion flashed across the man's face.

After thinking for a while, he felt that he might have been mistaken earlier, so he put this matter to the back of his mind and looked toward the black desert with a solemn expression.

"This place is truly sinister enough." The sallow-faced cultivator muttered to himself while looking at the bizarre black desert, also appearing somewhat hesitant.

However, he only considered it for a moment before flicking his sleeve, and a red light flew out, landing on the ground.

After the light faded, a fire-red fox-like small beast appeared in place.

The man flicked his finger, and a green medicinal pill flew out.

The small beast opened its mouth and swallowed the pill, revealing an enjoyable look.

"Go!"

The sallow-faced cultivator pointed toward the black desert direction without politeness and instructed the small beast.

The small beast immediately used all four limbs, turned into a red light, and sprinted toward the foot of the mountain, its speed actually incomparably fast.

After a while, this small beast, which looked like a fox, ran deep into the black desert for several dozen zhang, and after circling a large circle with a yellow dragon, it was still safe and sound.

Nothing strange happened! It was as if this black desert, apart from the color, was no different from an ordinary desert.

The sallow-faced cultivator revealed a look of shock, clearly this result also exceeded his expectations.

He had been prepared for this "Red Civet Beast" to be destroyed.

After all, this beast was only an ordinary level one spirit beast, and apart from agile movements and a super sense of smell, it had no powerful abilities, so he wouldn't feel any pain even if it were destroyed.

He frowned tightly, staring at the small beast running back and forth in the desert several times before whistling to summon the "Red Civet Beast," letting it run back to the small mountain and fly into his sleeve again.

Then, the man looked at the black desert with an uncertain expression and fell silent.

But this time he only hesitated for a short while before stepping off the small mountain and walking toward the black desert carefully.

What he didn't know was that after he had just walked down the small mountain for a while, Han Li's figure appeared on the mountaintop again after a wave of air.

Although the sallow-faced cultivator had searched the surroundings with a large-scale spell, Han Li had easily avoided the other party's attack with the concealment technique of the nameless cultivation technique and the Luo Smoke Step, without the other party discovering any traces.

And Han Li was very confident that as long as he got close to the other party, the nine "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords" would be sacrificed all at once, and he would absolutely be able to kill the other party with one strike, making the other party's body and spirit destroyed.

This made Han Li hesitate for a long time, not knowing whether he should kill the other party immediately and snatch the two treasures that looked valuable at a glance, or let the other party explore the path ahead first.

After the other party let the small beast explore a circle in the black desert without any results, Han Li completely gave up the idea of making a move.

Unknown things are the most dangerous! Better to let this person open the path for him ahead.

He didn't believe that this black desert had no danger at all.

And the White Rhinoceros Pendant and Cold Ice Bead he possessed were already enough for him to repel fire without hindrance. He wasn't in a hurry to need the other party's fire-repelling treasures.

The sallow-faced cultivator, without the slightest perception of Han Li appearing behind him silently, finally stepped onto the black sand grains and walked into the bizarre black desert.

One zhang, two zhang...

The man's expression became more and more nervous as he went deeper into the black desert! He had already released a layer of green protective barrier with the hat, protecting his whole body tightly.

But when he had walked several hundred zhang into the desert, and there was still no problem, the man's expression relaxed slightly, and he felt much more at ease.

According to common sense, he had already gone so deep into this area; if there were truly any danger, it should have appeared long ago.

Han Li looked at the man's figure, which was gradually becoming smaller, from behind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Could it be that he had truly guessed wrong, and this black desert only looked scary, but actually had no problems?

If he had known this, he might as well have solved this person early and snatched those two treasures.

Han Li felt regretful in his heart!

But just at this moment, a sudden change occurred in the distance.

After the sallow-faced cultivator took a step, one high and one low, suddenly the black sand grains in the surroundings floated up without reason.

They hovered in mid-air, surrounding the man, emitting a dark, ghostly light, silent and bizarre.

The man was also an experienced person, immediately sacrificing the white jade bowl in his hand into the sky, and large patches of white light flew out from the bowl, adding another layer of defense outside the green protective barrier.

And at this moment, those black sand grains instantly transformed into countless winged black small insects, rushing toward the man, who was full of horror, covering the sky and earth.

The man let out a roar, and after the white light flourished, countless ice shields the size of a palm appeared in the surroundings, then rotated rapidly, forming a white hurricane, wrapping him within it.

At this moment, he had already seen the true face of these flying insects; they were actually black flying ants. It was just that their number was too astonishing, reaching as many as ten thousand.

The sallow-faced cultivator's brain turned rapidly, desperately trying to recall what kind of insect beast these flying ants were and what weaknesses they had.

But before he could think of it, the black torrent had already crashed into the hurricane formed by the ice shields.

Pitter-patter sounds rang out one after another, and all the flying ants were bounced away, flying several zhang away.

Seeing this, the man felt relieved in his heart, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

But a moment later, his smile froze.

Because those black flying ants tumbled a few times, flapped their wings, and flew over again, without the slightest appearance of being injured.

This made him panic!

Afterward, without a second thought, he raised his hand, and a gray flying knife left his hand, transforming into a rainbow-like light a zhang long, slashing fiercely toward the flying ant swarm.

Just as the gray light shot out of the hurricane, nearly ten thousand flying ants let out a "buzzing" sound and swarmed up.

Regardless of how the gray light changed and slashed wildly, those flying ants were completely unharmed, and instead instantly covered the flying knife, trapping it tightly in the middle.

The sallow-faced cultivator was shocked and wanted to retrieve the magic treasure, but it was already too late.

After the gray light in the ant swarm flashed a few times, it was submerged in the black torrent.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and the man's face turned pale.

The destruction of the magic treasure connected to his heart and soul also caused him, the master, to suffer heavy damage.

He didn't dare to hesitate anymore, hurriedly urging the white hurricane to run wildly toward the road he came from. As long as he got out of the black desert, he might not have no chance to escape.

But at this moment, those black flying ants, after swallowing the remains of the flying knife, actually stopped in place without chasing him, and made a move that made people dumbfounded.

They gathered together in an instant, and after a flash of black strange light, transformed into a black long spear several zhang long.

Amidst a harsh whistling sound, the long spear shot through the air like a bed-crossbow.

The sallow-faced cultivator felt a panic in his heart, hurriedly surging all his spiritual power, making the white hurricane in the surroundings even more violent by three points.

The black long spear plunged into the white hurricane.

"Bang" and "pfft" sounds rang out, and the black long spear flashed through the hurricane in an instant.

The sharp spearhead, the long spear shaft, were all covered in spots of fresh red blood.
