Chapter 263: These Guys Are Called Soul Eaters
Zhao Qi's mind quickly flipped through the various spirit beast maps, trying to find information that matched the furry creatures in front of him.
His heart beat faster as he realized that these seemingly innocuous little creatures were actually extraordinary.
Despite their cute appearance, Zhao Qi could clearly feel the pure-blooded emperor-like cultivation aura emanating from their bodies.
"Yi Wuxiao, Lan Lingling, don't rush to pick the spirit grass first." Zhao Qi lowered his voice and said nervously, "There is something wrong with these spirit beasts. ”
When Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing and looked around vigilantly. They noticed that Zhao Qi's expression was unusually solemn and knew that this was not a joke.
Zhao Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm the tension in his heart.
He slowly approached one of the spirit beasts, reaching out to touch it.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the soft hair, he suddenly remembered something, and his face changed suddenly.
"Not good! Come on! Zhao Qi shouted, and his figure instantly retreated.
Although Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling didn't know why, they also knew that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed behind Zhao Qi. They were extremely fast, and in an instant they passed through the dense forest.
However, those furry spirit beasts seemed to have taken a keen interest in them, and they actually followed them closely.
The speed of these spirit beasts was not slower than the three of them at all, and there were many of them, and they soon formed a huge pursuit team.
Zhao Qi panted as he ran wildly and said, "These guys are 'Soul Eaters'!" They feed exclusively on the souls of monks and eat people without blinking! ”
"What?!" Yi Wuxiao was shocked when she heard this, "Are you sure you are not mistaken?" They look so cute......"
"Cute fart!" Zhao Qi roared angrily, "If you are bitten by them, your soul will be devoured in an instant!" ”
Lan Lingling's face was also pale, and she followed Zhao Qi closely, not daring to relax in the slightest.
She knew that Zhao Qi's insight was far superior to hers, and since he had said such things, then these seemingly harmless spirit beasts must be extremely dangerous existences.
The three of them ran wildly all the way, but those Soul Eaters kept in hot pursuit.
Their numbers are increasing, and they are gradually surging through the dense forest. Everywhere they went, trees were destroyed, rocks were crushed, everything that stood in their way was mercilessly destroyed.
The speed of Zhao Qi and the three of them had been exerted to the extreme, but they still couldn't get rid of the pursuit of these soul devouring beasts.
Their hearts grew heavier and heavier, and they knew that this was not the way to go. Something has to be done with these guys, or they will be caught up sooner or later.
However, just as they were feeling hopeless, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was the exit of a canyon with an open mountain landscape outside.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Quick! Rush out! ”
Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also saw that bright light, and they instantly cheered up, and rushed towards the exit with all their strength.
The Soul Eaters seemed to be a little afraid of the light, and their pursuit slowed down slightly. But this still couldn't stop them from moving forward, and they were still closely following behind Zhao Qi and the others.
Seeing that they were about to rush out of the canyon, suddenly a huge shadow fell from the sky, blocking their way.
That's a massive Soul Eater Beastmaster! It opened its bloody jaws and let out a deafening roar. A powerful coercion emanated from it, instantly enveloping the entire canyon.
Zhao Qi and the others were forced to breathe by this coercion, and their speed plummeted.
And those ordinary soul eaters became even more frantic under the impetus of this coercion, and they accelerated towards Zhao Qi and the others, as if they wanted to tear them to pieces.
Faced with this sudden change, Zhao Qi's heart sank. He knew he was in big trouble this time.
But even so, he had no intention of giving up. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the fear and tension in his heart. Then he slammed the long sword behind him and rushed towards the Soul Eater Beast King.
"Yi Wuxiao! Blue Lingling! You go first! I'm going to hold it back! Zhao Qi shouted loudly.
Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then said in unison: "No! We're going to go together! Saying that, they also drew their weapons and prepared to fight side by side with Zhao Qi.
The Soul Devouring Beast King in front of Zhao Qi exuded a suffocating coercion, and its near-supreme realm made the air seem to freeze.
He smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "Today is really unlucky, is it because I just robbed the snake gall of the Heavenly Spirit Snake, so bad luck came to the door?" ”
Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao stood beside him, their faces equally bitter.
They all knew that with their strength, it was almost impossible to escape from the siege of this Soul Eater Beast King and many small Soul Eaters.
However, Zhao Qi had no intention of giving up. He took a deep breath and took out three Earth Escape Talismans from the Ring.
This was a spell he had carefully prepared before, which would allow them to teleport a hundred miles away in an instant.
While three spells don't guarantee that they will teleport to the same location, there is no choice right now.
"The two of you go first, and I'll break off." Zhao Qi handed the Earth Escape Talisman to Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao, and quickly taught them how to use it.
Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao glanced at each other, and they both saw the firmness in each other's eyes. They knew that Zhao Qi was fighting for their chance to live, but they were not willing to abandon him and escape alone.
"Let's go together, stay together!" Yi Wuxiao gritted his teeth and said.
Zhao Qi's heart warmed, but he knew that now was not the time to be emotional. He jerked the two of them and shouted, "Hurry up!" Don't let me die in vain! ”
Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao were taken aback by Zhao Qi's sudden move, but then they reacted. A look of determination flashed in the eyes of the two of them, and at the same time, they crushed the earth escape talisman in their hands.
The light flashed away, and the figures of Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao disappeared in place.
Zhao Qi looked at the direction in which they disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew he had made the right decision, at least now that the two of them were safe.
However, at this moment, the Soul Eater Beast King suddenly let out a deafening roar and swooped towards Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's heart tightened, but he didn't panic. He quickly took out a handful of hydrangea fruit from the ring and threw it at the Soul Eater Beast King.
"Soul Eater Beast with a cold nature, try this Yang Yang Fruit!" Zhao Qi shouted.
The Soul Eater Beast King was taken aback by Zhao Qi's actions, but it didn't stop attacking.
However, when it opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow Zhao Qi into its abdomen, it suddenly found that those purple yang fruits actually exuded strong yang energy.
These yang qi contrasted sharply with its yin and cold qi, making it feel uncomfortable for a while.
The Soul Eater Beast King subconsciously stopped attacking and began to carefully examine those hydrangea fruits. It seemed to be very interested in these yang-filled fruits, and even stuck out its tongue and gently licked one of them.
Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, knowing that he had guessed correctly.
He hurriedly took out more hydrangea fruit from the ring and spread out his palm to show it to the Soul Eater Beast King.
He said as he showed it: "These hydrangeas are all yours, as long as you let me live?" ”
The Soul Eater Beast King seemed to understand Zhao Qi's words, it hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly. Then it walked up to Zhao Qi, lowered its head and began to enjoy those hydrangea fruits.
Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, he knew that he had finally escaped. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the last earth escape talisman from the ring and crushed it in his hand.
The light flashed away, and Zhao Qi's figure also disappeared in place.
When Zhao Qi opened his eyes again, he found that he had appeared in a strange forest.
He knew that it was the Earth Escape Charm that had teleported him a hundred miles away. Although he didn't know where Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao had been teleported, he believed that they would definitely find a way to survive.
Zhao Qi stood up, patted the dust on his body, and then discerned the direction and began to walk forward.
Zhao Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the apprehension in his heart as much as possible. He understood that the Heavenly Demon Wasteland he was in now was by no means a good land, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unimaginable crises.
Those monsters lurking in the shadows, each of them may be an existence that he can't fight.
He didn't dare to rush in as casually as before, let alone fly at a low altitude, for fear that one would accidentally become the target of a supreme realm monster.
He walked on the wasteland, carefully every step, as if he were stepping on a thin layer of ice that could break at any moment and plunge him into the abyss.
The scenery around him had become less beautiful in his eyes, and every patch of grass and tree could hide a deadly danger.
Zhao Qi no longer picks spirit grass spirit fruits at will. He knew that wherever there was a high-grade spirit grass, there must be demon beasts guarding it.
Those demon beasts are not vegetarians, and once they find that someone has violated their territory, they will definitely attack wildly.
With his current strength, wanting to snatch the spirit grass from the hands of the demon beast is tantamount to pulling teeth from the mouth of a tiger.
Not to mention those superb spirit grasses, even if he lost his life, I am afraid it would be difficult to pick them.
"Well, it seems that I still have to keep a low profile." Zhao Qi sighed, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
He knew that he didn't have enough strength to compete with those powerful demon beasts right now. Only by being cautious and taking steps can we survive in this dangerous Heavenly Demon Wasteland.
In order to increase his safety factor, Zhao Qi decided to release three paper cranes to inquire about the situation.
These three paper cranes were transformed by the spells he had carefully refined, which could not only help him find out if there were powerful demon beasts hidden in different directions, but also help him find the traces of Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling.
The cranes flutter lightly in the air, like three dancing elves.
They flew in three different directions, and soon disappeared from Zhao Qi's sight.
Zhao Qi nervously watched the direction in which the paper crane disappeared, praying silently in his heart.
He hoped that these three paper cranes could bring him good news and that he could find a little comfort and support in this strange land.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Zhao Qi imagined. It didn't take long for one of the cranes to fly back, still stained with blood.
Zhao Qi's heart sank, knowing that this paper crane must have encountered an accident. He hurriedly withdrew the paper crane from his hand and examined it carefully.
The blood stains on the paper crane had dried up, but the residual breath on its body made Zhao Qi feel a palpitation. It was a powerful and terrifying aura, and he instantly understood what had happened to this paper crane.
"Supreme Realm Demon Beast ......" Zhao Qi muttered to himself, his heart full of shock and fear. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, and he had just released the paper crane when he encountered such a powerful existence.
If he hadn't taken the paper crane back in time, I'm afraid he would have become the belly of that demon beast by now.
The other two paper cranes also flew back one after another, although they did not encounter accidents like the first paper crane, but they did not bring any good news to Zhao Qi.
The directions they probed were guarded by powerful demon beasts, and with Zhao Qi's current strength, they couldn't get close at all.
Zhao Qi felt a burst of despair. He knew he was in a dilemma.
There are powerful demon beasts blocking the way in front, and behind are the even more dangerous depths of the Heavenly Demon Wasteland. He didn't know what he had to do to live.
At this moment, Zhao Qi suddenly thought of Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling.
How are they doing now? Are you in the same predicament as yourself? Zhao Qi's heart was full of worry and anxiety, and he decided to release the paper cranes again to find their traces.
Finally, the paper crane released for the second time brought Zhao Qi the long-awaited good news.
Dozens of miles ahead, Paper Crane spotted Lan Lingling's figure. Moreover, it is gratifying that there are no hidden demon beasts in the distance between the two. This is undoubtedly great news for Zhao Qi.
"Great! Finally found the Blue Spirit! Zhao Qi shouted excitedly.
He immediately set off and galloped in the direction of Lan Lingling without hesitation. The ground was sliding swiftly beneath his feet, as if to make way for his eagerness.
When Lan Lingling found the paper crane, he had already felt Zhao Qi's breath.
She knew that Zhao Qi would definitely come to her, so she waited in place with peace of mind. When she saw Zhao Qi's figure appear in front of her, an indescribable comfort and joy surged in her heart.
"Zhao Qi!" Lan Lingling shouted, her eyes slightly red.
She thought of the scene when Zhao used the earth escape charm to save herself and Yi Wuxiao before, and her heart was full of gratitude and worry for Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi was relieved to see Lan Lingling standing in front of him safe and sound.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Qi asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Lan Lingling shook his head, his voice a little choked, "Thank you, Zhao Qi." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Yi Wuxiao and I would have ...... long ago."
"Don't say that." Zhao Qi interrupted her.
