Chapter 475: Gold Silkworm Treasure Taking
Han Li didn't take action immediately, but carefully released his divine sense to search the surroundings. After confirming that the old demons like Ji Yin were truly not monitoring him, he didn't hesitate and extended a finger, on which a cyan sword light, stretching and shrinking, appeared.
Han Li calmly drew a circle the size of a fist on the bluestone with the sword light, then waved his hand, and the sword light vanished.
And the other hand tapped lightly on the circle at lightning speed. Instantly, a hole appeared on the bluestone.
Han Li knew he didn't have much time, so he reached into the bluestone without hesitation.
The space inside was not large, and after grabbing and feeling around blindly, something ended up in his hand.
Han Li's expression shifted.
This item was slender, round, and soft, as if it were a stick.
But only after he withdrew his arm from the bluestone did he see clearly that it was actually a worn, yellowed scroll.
Han Li was somewhat surprised and was about to unfold it, when suddenly his expression changed. Then, he hurriedly tucked the scroll into his bosom, leaned against the bluestone wall, and covered the hole completely, pretending to be resting.
Just as Han Li finished this action, Ancestor Ji Yin's gloomy voice rang in his ear.
"Han Li, come back quickly. We are going in."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Han Li's face.
Wasn't it said they would rest for a while? Changing their minds so quickly! Could it be that the three old demons realized something wrong?
Thinking this in his heart, as soon as Ji Yin's divine sense disappeared from the vicinity, he immediately turned around, plugged the hole back to its original state, and then walked toward the front of the high platform as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived at the front, the few old demons were standing in front of the stone steps, looking at the high platform with solemn expressions, and the two, Wu Chou and Xuan Gu, behind them were also looking the same way.
Han Li looked up at the top with some surprise, and his face changed slightly.
He saw the blue light on the high platform flickering incessantly, and amidst the shaking, a few strands of golden light faintly reflected out.
And around the stone platform, after just this short while, the frost had thickened by several inches. It was just because of the white light curtain separating it that Han Li hadn't sensed any abnormalities.
Seeing Han Li arrive, Ji Yin nodded at him, then turned to Man Man Huzi and said:
"Man, Little Disciple has arrived. Let's go up. I didn't expect Wan Wan Tianming's Golden Silk Silkworm to actually be able to shake that Void Heaven Cauldron. Although I don't know what's going on, it's better to go over and take a look."
Man Man Huzi didn't open his mouth to say anything upon hearing this. But his figure lunged upward, using his actions to reply.
Ji Yin and the old man in the Confucian robe followed closely and set off.
"Boom" with a loud noise.
Man Man Huzi arrived at the light curtain at the stone steps and, without saying a word, smashed down fiercely with his fist wrapped in magic power. As a result, the light curtain immediately cracked open a giant gap several feet wide, and Man Man Huzi walked in with his head held high.
Ji Yin and the old man in the Confucian robe looked at each other, then their figures flashed, sandwiching Han Li in the middle, and followed him in.
Xuan Gu and Wu Chou entered the light curtain last.
So cold! Although Han Li had been mentally prepared outside the light curtain, after entering, Han Li still shivered from the cold, hurriedly releasing his protective treasure light to reduce the chill.
Man Man Huzi didn't wait for the others at all, and without looking, strode directly toward the center where the blue light was brightest.
The old man and Ji Yin looked at each other, then could only smile bitterly and chase after him in a few steps.
But even so, Ji Yin didn't forget to look back at Han Li, who was lagging behind, twice, urging him to walk faster.
Han Li cursed this Ancestor Ji Yin to death in his heart.
It wasn't that he didn't know his own limitations and wanted to escape, but he just wanted to stay behind a bit so he could find time to see what the scroll in his bosom was.
After all, the place where this item was placed was truly somewhat strange; perhaps it could be of some help to his situation!
But now, being urged by Ji Yin, Wu Chou seemed to be reminded of something, and his eyes began to stare at Han Li vigilantly without moving away for half a step. Even Xuan Gu glanced at him with a trace of doubt.
Han Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and quicken his pace. But before he could walk a few steps, his speed slowed down again.
This was not Han Li's intention.
It was just that under the encirclement of the incomparably cold blue light, although he had treasure light to protect his body, Han Li felt his body become colder with every step he took; after only a few steps, he turned pale and hurriedly closed his breathing, fearing that he would be frozen by the cold at the entrance and injure his lungs.
"The White Spirit Rhinoceros I gave you can not only prevent fire but also prevent cold. You aren't using it now, what are you waiting for!"
At this moment, Ancestor Ji Yin's voice rang in Han Li's ear again.
Only then did Han Li suddenly realize and hurriedly took out the item, hanging it on his waist again.
Sure enough, after the white light of the Rhinoceros Pendant lit up, the surroundings immediately became warm.
Only then did Han Li have the leisure to walk while looking at how the others were facing this strange cold.
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators like Man Man Huzi went without saying; the three of them continued walking in front as if nothing had happened, relying only on the layer of protective treasure light on their bodies.
Xuan Gu had an extra string of red-glowing beads on his neck, and similarly, there was not the slightest cold.
As for Wu Chou, who fell behind him at some point, he had a strange snake-patterned arm ring on his arm, which released a pink light curtain, protecting him within it.
Han Li withdrew his gaze after seeing this.
Because they had already reached the center of the high platform, where there was a small protruding altar. On the altar, seven or eight clusters of golden light were jumping incessantly. And in the middle of the golden light, there was a large hole emitting dazzling blue light.
Han Li's spirit was refreshed, and he hurriedly stared with concentration.
In those golden light clusters, there were actually several-foot-long bright green giant silkworms, spitting out golden threads a thumb thick into the hole, their bodies swaying as they pulled backward with all their might. Every sway made the blue light in the hole flicker wildly.
And beside the altar, three figures stood straight, exactly Wan Wan Tianming and the other two.
The righteous path cultivators clearly knew of the arrival of Man Man Huzi and the others, but these three actually turned a blind eye to them, only staring fixedly at the golden light before them, their faces full of tension.
Man Man Huzi saw this scene, and cold light flashed in his eyes. Without a word, he raised his hand, and two golden lights transformed into long rainbows, shooting toward the three.
"Cold Flood Dragon"
"Leaving Turtle"
Wan Wan Tianming and Tian Tian Wu Zi each shouted coldly at the same time Man Man Huzi's golden light left his hand.
Instantly, there was a movement above, and a cyan light and a blue light flew down, intercepting the golden light and fighting together.
"Return"
Man Man Huzi was stunned for a moment upon seeing this scene, beckoned toward the front, and the two golden rainbows flew back, transforming back into two golden small knives and falling into his hands.
And the cyan and blue light didn't chase, but circled in place, revealing their original forms.
They were actually a white small flood dragon several feet in size and a strange giant turtle that was semi-transparent.
Man Man Huzi's expression changed suddenly after seeing the two items clearly.
"The Mad Woman's Cold Flood Dragon," "Tian Tian Yuanzi's Leaving Turtle!" The old man in the Confucian robe, who had walked up from behind, also said with a look of shock.
"Strange, Wan Wan Tianming and the others are actually so arrogant. They actually borrowed these two old monsters' spirit beasts. But as far as I know, these two old monsters cherish these two spirit beasts incomparably and never lend them to others. How did these two fellows get their hands on them?" Ancestor Ji Yin also said with some horror, and at the same time, a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Hmph! Borrowing depends on who it is. Wan Wan Tianming is the Mad Woman's own nephew. Tian Tian Wu Zi is Tian Tian Yuanzi's fellow sect junior brother. What's strange about being able to borrow these two spirit beasts." Man Man Huzi said with a gloomy face.
"Then this is somewhat tricky! These two beasts have no small divine abilities; if they fight for their lives, the three of us won't be able to shake them off for a while." Qing Yi Qingyi Jushi looked at the white flood dragon and giant turtle and said with some worry.
"Qing Yi, Xuan Yin! What are your Azure Thorn Birds and Heavenly Capital Corpses kept for? Although they are not the opponents of these two beasts, entangling them for a while is always possible. And we don't have to defeat Wan Wan Tianming and the others; we just need to kill one Golden Silk Silkworm at will." Man Man Huzi said with a ferocious smile.
Hearing Man Man Huzi's words, the old man in the Confucian robe and Ji Yin looked at each other and revealed a look of hesitation.
"Rest assured, I will also let my spirit beast fight. Cooperating with you two fellows is truly troublesome!" Man Man Huzi glanced sideways at Ji Yin and the other, revealing a trace of disdain.
Hearing this, the old man in the Confucian robe and Ji Yin finally relaxed their expressions and agreed.
