Chapter 154: Someone Teleported
At this moment, the volcanoes on Mi'e Island were roaring. As one volcano after another erupted, thick black ash rolled toward the eight directions and was poured onto the battlefield of the Sea Corpse Clan by the power of the Seven Blood Eyes array. But some still fell on Mi'e Island, looking like black snowflakes.
And with the eruption, the earth vibrated constantly, and the roaring sound from time to time could drown out all sounds in an instant. Xu Qing didn't dare to stay in the sky for long. His body rushed toward the ground. When he landed instantly, he saw countless disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes busy here. Everyone had a goal.
Some were building magic arrays, some were cooperating to maintain magic tools, and some were rushing to the distant battlefield teleportation array, descending on the battlefield outside the island.
In mid-air, there were also figures of Foundation Establishment cultivators whistling past, accompanied by bursts of light beams, and new people constantly descended on the four islands.
At the same time, Xu Qing's identity token also vibrated continuously, and pieces of task information inside, as he arrived here, surged out like a waterfall.
Xu Qing took out his token and checked rapidly while guarding the surroundings.
Pieces of task information in the token kept appearing. Some disappeared immediately after appearing, obviously taken away by others, while more were tasks that needed many people to complete. The number of participants marked inside would disappear after being full.
"Juying Island magic tool maintenance, needs thirty disciples of the Sixth Peak above the fifth level of Qi Condensation, three Foundation Establishments, reward fifty thousand spirit stones, distributed according to labor and cultivation."
"Yin Meiqi Island needs sixty Qi Condensation disciples, two Foundation Establishment disciples, to go to feed magic tools for First Peak disciples, kill hidden enemies, reward a total of seventy thousand spirit stones."
"Need three hundred people who are good at array refining, reward a total of sixty thousand spirit stones." "Need ten Qi Condensation, accept the weird body, one thousand spirit stones a day." As Xu Qing checked, among the large amount of task information, there was also a blood-colored task that suddenly flashed among many tasks. Every word on it was blood-colored, shocking.
"Need ten Foundation Establishment disciples who have opened the Profound Radiance State, cross the battlefield, go to the third sub-island outside the Sea Corpse Clan's home territory. The specific task will be arranged by the Elder after being accepted. This task is extremely dangerous and has the danger of facing Core Formation. Each participant will be rewarded with eight million spirit stones."
The moment Xu Qing saw this blood-colored task, his heart was directly shocked by the reward inside, and his breathing became rapid. But obviously, the danger level of this task was extremely high, and it could basically be judged as a narrow escape from death.
But the next instant, the number of participants after this task was full instantly, and the task disappeared into the vast information in an instant. Xu Qing was silent. He thought of what Zhang Yunshi said that day, that the sect's war was driven by interests, and both sides were willing.
"I also want to take a task." After a long while, Xu Qing checked these tasks rapidly. The rewards for Qi Condensation were generally not much, and most of them were shared by many people. And the tasks for Foundation Establishment with many rewards all needed to open the Profound Radiance State.
Xu Qing's own cultivation made him unable to take that kind of task. At the same time, if he went out to the battlefield, Xu Qing felt that he was still a bit lacking now and was not very suitable.
What he needed was the kind of task that could both earn spirit stones and kill the Sea Corpse Clan.
And this type of task was not absent among the many tasks, and soon Xu Qing saw one.
"According to exploration, there are several small teleportation arrays left by the Sea Corpse Clan in the underground world of the four islands of the Merman Clan. Now recruiting eight Foundation Establishment cultivators to explore and clear all teleportation arrays on each island, two on each island. If you encounter the Sea Corpse Clan, kill them immediately. If it is difficult to resist, report immediately. Destroying one teleportation array rewards ten thousand spirit stones, and killing counts as a battle achievement quota." The moment he saw this task, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. This task was very suitable for his needs, so he didn't have any hesitation and accepted it immediately.
Almost the moment he accepted it, the eight quotas required for this task were empty instantly, and Xu Qing was the last one. If he had hesitated slightly, he wouldn't have been able to get it.
And after accepting this task, new information jumped out in Xu Qing's identity token. The names of the eight of them were hidden, and they didn't know each other. At this moment, they had been automatically assigned.
Among them, the island assigned to Xu Qing was exactly this Mi'e Island. At the same time, there was a detailed introduction about the appearance and fluctuations of the small teleportation arrays, and how to destroy them. Even it reminded those who accepted the task that they had been discovered before, and the Sea Corpse Clan had teleported over.
But according to the judgment of the command post, under the cover of the sect array, the small teleportation forced opening could not withstand the cultivation of two groups of Life Fire, so it was highly probable that the Sea Corpse Clan who teleported over were those who had not opened the Life Fire. The purpose of these people coming here should be like dead soldiers trying to destroy the arrays and magic tools of each island.
It's just that the opening of the Sea Corpse Clan's teleportation array did not require spirit energy and magic power, but impurities. And there were a large number of impurities in the seabed world, so it was extremely hidden and difficult to explore. So there was this task.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He knew that there was another person on this island who accepted this task like him, so his body flickered and he went straight to the city area nearest to here.
The entrance to the underground world, no matter which island, was in the city. Xu Qing had experience in this point. And most of the Merman Clan cities had become ruins, but in the jade slip given by Huang Yan that day, the description of Mi'e Island was also very detailed. He remembered an entrance passage, and the distance from here was not very far.
So while galloping, Xu Qing unfolded his speed in mid-air, and while rushing to the destination, he also saw some disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes, but they didn't greet each other and passed by in a hurry.
Soon, Xu Qing found the entrance. The surroundings had been opened up. While the passage below emitted a cold aura, there was also a bloody meaning spreading. And the seawater that should have been in the depths had also risen a lot, and it could be seen from the outside.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, stood at the edge of the entrance and looked down, then directly took out a bag containing poison and threw it down. After it melted, his body flickered and jumped in directly.
After sinking into the water, his body moved, grabbing the poison bag, and rushed downward rapidly. The whole process was only thirty breaths. Xu Qing approached the exit in constant deepening. And the deeper he went, the quieter the surroundings became. While the noise outside was isolated by the seawater, even the roar of the volcano eruption was very weak here. But Xu Qing's vigilance remained. When approaching the exit, he threw out the bag, made it explode, and while the poison was permeating, his body flickered and rushed out.
Looking around, most of the buildings here had collapsed, and the corals and sea anemones had rotted. Thinking about it, it was the eruption of the black mist that day that made everything here submerged.
"I must find the Sea Corpse Clan's small teleportation array as soon as possible." Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and said faintly.
After a long while, seeing no reaction, Xu Qing poured magic power into the purple crystal in his body, making it emit a trace of suppression power. The next instant, the shadow pointed out a direction rapidly.
The reason why Xu Qing accepted this task was that he knew his shadow was sensitive to impurities. Others might find it difficult to find the teleportation array driven by impurities in this seabed world, and needed some special magic tools. But he didn't need to. Even Xu Qing felt that perhaps magic tools and the like were not as sensitive as the shadow here. The only thing that made him feel unhappy was that the shadow didn't take the initiative in this matter, so he spoke slowly. "Your assessment period, reduced by ten days."
The shadow trembled, and the low voice of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor came from the black iron slip.
"Master, don't be angry. The shadow may not understand you very well, but I know that Master is usually very tired and needs us to take the initiative to share, worry about what Master worries, and worry about what Master worries." The shadow felt the killing intent when hearing this.
Xu Qing felt that what the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor said made sense, so he looked at the shadow coldly and suppressed it three times instantly.
"I don't like your killing intent."
The shadow shivered, seeming extremely aggrieved, and could only honestly and diligently guide under the pride of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor. Xu Qing followed the other party's pointing and galloped all the way. Soon he arrived at the place found by the shadow. This was a depression, which should have been bombarded by magic, so it looked a mess. In this place, Xu Qing found the place pointed by the shadow while guarding. The teleportation array was hidden in the mud layer there, without any magic fluctuation, and it was difficult to be detected. Only the impurities here were slightly thicker than the surroundings.
Xu Qing looked down and noticed that the array didn't seem to have been opened. So according to the description in the task, he found the position of the array eye, raised his right foot and stepped on it hard. With a bang, the array collapsed. Then Xu Qing didn't need to speak, the shadow explored rapidly and guided the next place.
Xu Qing flew rapidly. Just like that, after destroying the second and third teleportation arrays, at the fourth teleportation array, he was about to shatter it, but in an instant, this array flashed.
Xu Qing gave a light 'eh', immediately felt it carefully, and soon he noticed a trace of Foundation Establishment aura from the flash of this array. It seemed that someone was at the other end of the array, and was teleporting.
This aura was not very strong in Xu Qing's perception, it seemed that it had not reached the state of Life Fire, so he narrowed his eyes, did not destroy the array, but took out poison powder rapidly, and arranged it layer by layer around the array with the fastest speed. In ten breaths of time, Xu Qing put down more than a hundred kinds of poison in one breath, mixed them together, covered the array, and the black iron slip also flew out suddenly, hiding to the side. On this iron slip, a bell was also tied.
This bell was used by people with flesh and blood, and the soul would be affected, but the artifact spirit would not, so it was tied to it by Xu Qing. And the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor in the iron slip was obviously very excited, as if he felt that it was his turn to perform again. The shadow was also anxious, not willing to be outdone, and dispersed, ready to pounce instantly. After that, Xu Qing took out the magic boat to prevent any accidents, stepped back a few steps and squatted down, cold light flashing in his eyes, black malevolent fire in his body rose, and a dagger was transformed in his hand.
"It's coming," Xu Qing muttered in his heart. The moment the teleportation array light flashed, impurities were thick, and a Sea Corpse Clan figure slowly revealed itself. ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
Xu Qing gave a light exclamation and immediately felt carefully; soon, from the shimmering of the formation, he detected a trace of Foundation Establishment aura, as if someone was at the other end of the formation, currently teleporting.
In Xu Qing's perception, this aura was not very strong, as if it had not yet reached the state of Life Fire, so he narrowed his eyes and did not destroy the formation, but instead rapidly took out poison powder and, with the fastest speed, laid it out layer by layer around the formation. In just over ten breaths of time, Xu Qing released over a hundred types of poison in one go, mixing them together to shroud the formation, while the black iron skewer also suddenly flew out and hid to the side. On this iron skewer, a small bell was also tied.
This bell is used by those with flesh and blood; the soul will be affected, but the artifact spirit will not, so it was tied on by Xu Qing. And the Jin Gang Sect ancestor within the iron skewer was clearly very excited, as if feeling that his time to shine had arrived again. The shadow was also anxious, unwilling to be outdone, it spread out, and after preparing to pounce instantly, Xu Qing took out his magic boat to be safe, retreated a few steps, and squatted down. Cold light shone in his eyes, the Black Malevolent Fire within his body surged, and he conjured a dagger in his hand.
"It's coming." The moment Xu Qing muttered in his heart, the light of the teleportation formation suddenly shone, and amidst the dense strange substance, the figure of a Sea Corpse Clan member slowly began to appear.
