Jiang Ling and the three of them walked all the way, and on the way they encountered a kind of beetle the size of a rabbit, probably a kind of unicorn fairy, it had a huge horn three inches long, two sharp forks in the front, and the black carapace on its body was shining with metallic luster, and it looked extremely hard. There is also a kind of stick insect disguised as a tree branch, which is simply fake, and when it is still and does not move, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between it and the branch with the naked eye, Jiang Ling only perceives its existence with telekinesis.

Both of these bugs appear to be vegetarian and not aggressive, and there is a black spider the size of a teapot with an eerie pattern on its back that resembles a smiling face, and it has a bathtub-sized web between the tops of two trees, on which two hapless dragonflies hang from it, and the spider is wrapping one of them in silk thread. When Jiang Ling and the three of them approached it twenty paces away, it noticed something, and stood still, staring at the three of them with four compound eyes.

Jiang Ling and the three of them naturally did not take the initiative to provoke this terrifying spider that seemed to be highly poisonous, even if it was a unicorn fairy and a stick insect, the three of them also took the initiative to bypass them in order to be safe.

With Jiang Ling exploring the surroundings with his mental power, and Song Wei infiltrating the ground under his feet, the three of them walked cautiously all the way, but it was enough to avoid most of the risks, at least until now, they have not been attacked by insects.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the holy mountain, but they still hadn't found that Qi Hongyi, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little weak in their hearts, and their nerves didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Jiang Ling said in a low voice: "Although the insects I encountered are not very aggressive, it can indeed be seen that the strength of these insects has increased, and they are much more powerful than the beetles and grasshoppers on the outskirts of the island. And you should have noticed that even the vegetation and trees are thicker and taller. ”

Song Wei's pace was steady, and when he heard this, he responded: "You said that the closer you get to the holy mountain, the stronger the strength of the insects, and the thicker the plants, does it mean that the reason why these insects can become so strong is because there is some kind of source of strength on this mountain?" ”

"That's true." Jiang Ling also said: "And I also obviously sensed that the closer I am to this holy mountain, the more abundant the spiritual power around me becomes, and the speed of my spiritual power recovery is four or five percent higher than usual." ”

"Could it be that there is some extremely powerful formation on this mountain?" Song Wei guessed.

Jiang Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I think that there have been countless people who have tried to figure out the secrets of Worm Island for thousands of years, but they have not succeeded, we don't have to explore it clearly, it is better to be careful around." ”

After saying this, Jiang Ling raised his hand and pointed at it, signaling the two of them to look, on a plant with narrow leaves ten meters away, there was a bug lying on its stem as thick as a human thigh, it had a yellow shell, black spots on it, and it looked like a bug. And the reason why you can see it from a distance of more than ten meters is because it is the size of a slipper.

Jiang Ling said: "I can probably sense that the carapace on its body is harder than the iron sheet, and..."

The three of them just looked at the insect, but they heard a piercing sound of flapping wings, only to see a foot more than a meter long, the wings are translucent and pale white, the body is slender, like a dragonfly and like a butterfly, the insect flew through the air, suddenly grabbed the colorful bug, and then bit down, only to hear a crisp click, it was directly bitten through the shell of the colored bug, biting its head to pieces. Then it flew away again, and I don't know where it took the prize to eat.

"You say... What are the worms on the mountain? Xi Jiu couldn't help but feel timid when he looked at the mountain, and muttered, "Otherwise, let's not go." ”

Jiang Ling looked at her and said helplessly: "Who said that he came up in the face of difficulties?" ”

"I'm not scared anymore." Xi Jiu glared and replied, then shrunk his neck and said, "In case we encounter a worm at the peak of the Xuanji, maybe the three of us will not be able to fight for the tooth." ”

"Not really." Jiang Ling shook his head and said: "This insect is to develop its physical functions to the limit, at most, it can simulate the cultivation methods of human beings through special physiological structures, release some mental techniques, and if they want to reach the peak of the Xuanji, a realm that is difficult for countless humans with extraordinary talents to reach, it should be impossible, after all, their physical structure cannot be more suitable for cultivation than human beings." Unless, like in Journey to the West, cultivate into an immortal and become an adult. As soon as I talk about Journey to the West, I think of the second half of this year..."

"It's far away." Song Wei reminded.

Jiang Ling coughed lightly, he also relaxed because he was too nervous, naturally he didn't forget the topic, he said: "Anyway, we have come here, in the case of few clues, let's leave it to fate." ”

Song Wei didn't have a better way, just nodded.

The three of them continued to move forward, and after another two or three minutes, seeing that the holy mountain was already close in front of them, Song Wei suddenly stopped, he looked at the ground around him and frowned and asked, "So far, have you found any traces of human beings?" ”

"Not really." Jiang Ling shook his head and said disappointedly, "It's not like we went in the wrong direction from the beginning, right?" ”

"No, maybe that guy is a master of anti-stalking." Song Wei muttered like this, and then stared at the ground in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Anti-tracking?" Xi Jiu glanced at him, saw that his eyes were focused, and wondered, "What are you looking at?" ”

Song Wei didn't say anything when he heard this, but closed his eyes.

Xi Jiu and Jiang Ling glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what Song Wei had discovered.

After a while, Song Wei opened his eyes and said, "Starting from the beach, I did find some clues, but I can't be sure that they were left by humans, and the only most obvious trace found was that footprint, which led us to the enemy's side." But now, it is clear that he has parted ways with the people in the divine court, but he still feels that there are some abnormal traces. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling looked around, and with his keen telekinesis, he didn't find any suspicious traces.

Song Wei said: "It's hard for ordinary people to notice, although I can't be percent sure, but I think it's necessary to give it a try." ”

"What are you talking about? Could it be that you are a private investigator? Xi Jiu asked.

"Think of it that way." Song Wei answered, and then took two steps forward, squatting down to observe a plant growing on the ground. Then he stood up, looked to the left and said, "Let's go over there and see, if there is any more crisis, it will be my fault." ”

"What are you talking about?" Xi Jiu glanced at him and said, "If you pretend to be a ghost, if you have an idea, just say it." ”

Song Wei smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "I have some investigative skills, but it's a pity that I'm not a teacher, otherwise I would have been able to find out the suspicion earlier." ”

Jiang Ling glanced at Song Wei, in fact, from Song Wei's usual walking posture and thinking habits, it is not difficult to see that he must have a background in the military and police, and he is about a top student of a military academy. It's just that because I'm cautious, I don't dare to take random ideas about things that I don't know how to go, and I don't let go until this time. Of course, it is also possible that he does not want to expose his special identity, so he deliberately acts in a restrained manner.

In any case, Jiang Ling would not complain about him, and naturally said: "Listen to you." ”

The three of them deflected and walked to the left front.

"You look around." Song Wei walked in front this time, his pace was very slow, and his eyes were fixed on the weeds in front of him.

After a while, Song Wei suddenly quickened his pace, walked more than ten meters and then stopped, slowed down his pace again, repeated this three or four times, he nodded: "It's almost certain that it's a human trail, and he is indeed very proficient in hiding his whereabouts." ”

"Maybe it's some kind of exercise or something special." Jiang Ling reminded.

Song Wei nodded, then looked up

Forward, he said: "He has come to the foot of the holy mountain, could it be that he really went up the mountain?" ”

"Wait!" Jiang Ling suddenly raised his hand and motioned for the two to be quiet.

Song Wei and Xi Jiu immediately held their breath and looked at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling pricked up his ears and spread his nian qi in a northwesterly direction, and after a moment he was sure that there was indeed a sound coming from the woods over there.

Jiang Ling raised his hand and pointed, and the three of them slowed down their steps and moved closer to that side. After walking for a few minutes, before the three of them could see the shadow of the man, they heard a faint voice sound: "Whether you are from the Divine Court, or any other miscellaneous person, if you don't want us all to die here, lie down as soon as possible, and don't release energy." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling was startled, and then noticed that there was a person lying on the right side of the three people.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up! ”

Song Wei reacted the fastest, and when he saw that it was not the man in gray before, he directly fell to the ground.

Jiang Ling did not hesitate, listened to the man's words and lay down, and shrank his mind around him. Xi Jiu was disgusted, but he was also possessed and nested on the ground.

Jiang Ling crouched on the ground and turned his head to look at the man.

This person is about thirty years old, and his appearance can be called handsome, but at this time there is a little nervousness in his eyes, and he does not look at Jiang Ling and the others, but turns his head to look at the sky.

Jiang Ling also twisted his head, wondering what the other party was afraid of, and a clear sound of flapping wings came after a while.

The voice, like thunder rolling in a dark cloud, was dull and powerful.

As the voice approached, Jiang Ling's eyes also showed a look of disbelief.

The sunlight that shone through the leaves was suddenly obscured, and a large black shadow flew over the canopy above them, and the strong wind that swept between his wings made the branches rattle, and even some of the leaves were cut off by the wind and fell from the trees.

A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped the few people lying on the ground, as if it wanted to crush them into the soil.

Fortunately, this huge figure did not stop, and flew over the heads of several people. Jiang Ling turned his head to take another look, and was surprised to find that the six feet of the insect drooped seemed to be inlaid with a row of pale green gems, and if he looked closely, there were more jade-like stones of different sizes embedded in the insect's body.

"That's... What the? Xi Jiu asked in shock.

"It's like a celestial cow." Jiang Ling replied, but suddenly felt a crisis, and the next moment, a powerful telekinesis pressed him to the ground, making him unable to move.

"Don't do it yet." Jiang Ling's whole body seemed to be pressed by countless hands at this time, and his face was close to the ground, but he still whispered like this.

The man got up from the ground, looked at the three of them with fierce eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Song Wei also saw Jiang Ling's strange appearance, and hurriedly looked at the man and said, "We are the Skywalker who is here to find the Qi family elder. ”

"Skywalker?" The man frowned slightly and asked, "How can I believe that you are not the lackeys of the Divine Court?" ”

Jiang Ling opened his mouth and said, "I am Jiang Ling. ”

"Jiang Ling?" Qi Hongyi was naturally stunned when he heard this, and then said, "The Skywalker who launched the Rainbow Order in the City of Chaos? ”

Jiang Ling said: "There is a Qi family guest order here. ”

Qi Hongyi relaxed a little bit and said, "Take it out and I'll take a look." ”

Jiang Ling took out the Keqing Order from the Qiankun bag, and then an invisible force took the Keqing Order from his hand.

Qi Hongyi glanced at Keqing Ling, then put away his mental power, and then took two steps forward with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Ling.

"Earlier, it turns out that you are Jiang Ling." Qi Hongyi said with relief: "The Divine Court hates you to the core, if I hand you over to the Divine Court, they can let me go back." ”
