"It smells of blood, a very strong smell of blood. Liu Zixuan looked at the grass in front of him with a solemn face, slowly pulled out his saber, made a silent gesture, and motioned for his younger brother and the woman surnamed Shen to stay where they were first, and then followed behind Lin Yuan, moving towards the saber

looked at the grass and looked inside the grass.

"Hiss" After seeing the scene in the grass, Lin Yuan and Liu Zixuan both gasped, in front of them, there were twenty or thirty corpses of monks lying horizontally, because they had not died long ago, judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power on their bodies that had not yet dissipated, these people were all monks in the late stage of the Ning Dan Realm and even the peak of the Ning Dan Realm, and there were even two half-heavy broken Dan monks who were about to condense the Golden Pill.

"Their wounds were all cut off by a sharp blade three feet under the back of their heads, they should have been done by the same person, and these killed cultivators had no obvious signs of resistance before they died, at least it was a cultivator who was above the fifth level of the Broken Pill to kill so many low-level cultivators in a short period of time

Shi, it stands to reason that a strong person with this strength should stay above the twentieth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, how could he come to the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda to hunt these low-level cultivators?" Liu Zixuan muttered suspiciously.

The strong smell of blood stimulated the nerves of everyone present, and a faint sense of crisis enveloped everyone's bodies, Lin Yuan looked gloomy as he examined the wound on the back of the corpse's neck, an inaccurate guess swirled in his mind, so he examined it very carefully, and almost checked all the wounds on the corpse.

"Brother Lin Yuan, you, what are you doing?!" Liu Ziyi's trembling exclamation sounded, and Liu Zixuan and Liu Bo, who were on guard nearby, came over, after seeing Lin Yuan's actions at this time, Liu Zixuan almost didn't throw up, he had broken into the Spirit Pagoda five or six times, and he had seen many bloody scenes, but it was the first time he had seen such a brutal act as Lin Yuan.

At this time, Lin Yuan was very ferociously returning his right hand to his ancestors into a sharp claw, and he opened the wound on the back of the neck of a dead monk, and the scene of flesh and blood couldn't help but make the four people present frown.

The human race pays attention to etiquette, and it is extremely shameful to desecrate corpses, but now he has a request for Lin Yuan, so Liu Zixuan's face is just a little ugly, but he doesn't say anything.

"Sure enough!" Lin Yuan looked at the corpse lying on the ground with a cold face, and turned to Liu Zixuan and the four of them and explained: "These monks were not killed by humans, but by demon beasts. ”

"How is it possible? The wounds on their bodies were obviously cut by sharp blades! The claws and teeth of demon beasts would never be able to cause such neat wounds!" Liu Zixuan subconsciously retorted.

"It's the parasitic mantis, a notorious monster beast whose forefeet are as sharp as a sickle, and there is no difference between the cut wound and the wound caused by the weapon, but after killing the prey, this notorious monster will parasitize its eggs in the prey's corpse, allowing the young beast to devour the remaining aura in the corpse and grow. Lin Yuan said with some disdain.

Sure enough, among the minced meat cut by Lin Yuan, clumps of wriggling larvae were struggling from the minced flesh of the victim, seeing this scene, Liu Ziyi almost didn't call out, after all, he was still a child, and this bloody scene was still too much of a mental stimulation for him.

Lin Yuan sighed, a small flame bounced from his fingertips to the corpse that fell to the ground, under the burning of the red flame, the corpses began to roll one after another, one by one the larvae that were not yet adults struggled to get out of the burning of the flames, but they were too young, even the carapace was not fully developed, how could they withstand the hundreds of degrees of heat? In less than half an hour, the larvae of these parasitic mantis turned into ashes under the burning of the flames.

"Parasitic mantis?" After hearing this name, the face of the woman surnamed Shen turned pale: "The parasitic mantis that can reproduce offspring should be an adult, even the parasitic mantis that has just grown into adulthood has the strength of the Broken Pill Triple, and the adult parasitic mantis all appear in pairs, what you did just now was too reckless, once the parasitic mantis returns here and finds that we have destroyed its eggs, it will definitely follow the smell to find us and launch a retaliation"

However, after thinking of Lin Yuan's record of easily slaughtering more than a hundred wild wolves, her face softened slightly, and she calmly took out a small packet of green powder from the package and sprinkled it on the charred corpse after being burned by the fire.

Just as the woman surnamed Shen let out a sigh of relief and wanted to dissuade Lin Yuan from leaving this place as soon as possible, she heard Lin Yuan's serious voice: "It's too late, they're already here." ”

Before the other four people realized the meaning of Lin Yuan's words, a sharp wind broke out suddenly, and then, only to hear the sound of "bell", a strong wind violently blew the four of them into the grass on the side.

A huge scythe about five feet long was grabbed by Lin Yuan violently in his hand, and the strong wind generated just now was generated when the two collided.

It wasn't until the dust kicked off by the strong wind dissipated that the four of them could see the owner of the scythe, a dark black mantis that was too long to be long, wielding a huge scythe, and the blade was shining with a cold glow. It exudes a terrifying aura.

Under normal circumstances, there are a total of nine levels in the Broken Dan Realm, and this parasitic mantis has at least reached the seventh level of the Broken Dan, which can be regarded as a demon beast in the late stage of the Broken Dan Realm.

It stands to reason that the spiritual pagoda is managed by the inner courtyard disciples of the White Deer Academy to prevent the overly powerful demon beasts from appearing at the bottom to cause slaughter to the monks who come to the trial, but this parasitic mantis of the Broken Pill Sevenfold came to the first layer from the top layer unexpectedly for some reason, and caused a lot of slaughter.

However, no one cared about this at this time, because in the grass to Lin Yuan's right, another huge praying mantis glowing with a deep black light suddenly sprang out of the grass and slashed towards Lin Yuan with its sickle-like forelimbs.

After perceiving the sudden appearance of this praying mantis, Lin Yuan did not dodge in a panic, but let go of the palm holding the first praying mantis, and began to dodge the swinging scythe in a strange way.

It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't want to fight back, it's just that the combined strength of these two demon beasts is close to the peak of the Shattered Dan Realm, even if he uses that move, he can only hit them to serious injury, which is really a bit undrawable, after all, this is only the first layer of the Spirit Tower, and the target of the Spirit Tower Trial is the twelfth layer, if he uses that move, he will enter a weakened state for a short time, if he encounters a demon beast of this level once, I am afraid it will be a big trouble.
