Chapter 8: The Emerald Blade Mantis

Time passed in a hurry, more than half an hour had passed since the start of the third assessment, and Bai Chen had already obtained four spirit cores, because he was lucky, he did not meet a demon spirit with a relatively powerful cultivation, otherwise he would not have obtained four spirit cores so easily.

Bai Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his eyes shone brightly, and his joy was overflowing, and he slowly put the fifth-headed demon spirit core he had just killed into his waist pocket, then he stretched his waist with relief and muttered: "Finally, there are five spirit cores, although the cultivation of these demon spirits is not high, but it still costs me a lot of spiritual power." ”

But if you want to pass this level safely, it is far from enough to rely on five spirit cores, after all, there are many young people whose cultivation is higher than him in this assessment, and it is not difficult to ensure that others have obtained more than five spirit cores at this time.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen's fighting spirit suddenly ignited, with the remaining time now, he was still able to barely obtain another spirit core, in order to save time, Bai Chen didn't care about his luck here, and simply moved his lower arm and walked towards the depths of the forest.

The otherworldly plane is still a little different from the buried bone forest in reality, not only does there not exist a demon spirit that has been transformed into a human form here, but even in the inner enclosure, there will be no demon spirit with a high cultivation, and the cultivation of the demon spirit in this plane will not exceed the spirit realm, so the old man dares to bring the young people into this place with confidence.

"Click"

Bai Chen's eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he used a dagger to cut off the thorns blocking the path ahead, because the land here was as soft as mud, so that his feet had no sense of strength, and he was out of breath after walking not far away, and the thorns and mud everywhere delayed Bai Chen's journey a lot.

The slightly strange smell of thin mud under his feet actually had the tendency to sink, and Bai Chen's clever feet stepped on the cut thorns, and carefully stepped over the place.

This place is the swamp of the Bone Forest, fortunately it was only a shallow swamp just now, if it is a slightly larger swamp, I am afraid that the lower body will be completely swallowed by the swamp, and then it will be a big trouble.

Bai Chen cautiously stepped on the thorns to step over the place, just now it really made him panic, he glanced back at the mire and cursed: "The damn swamp almost caused me to plant here ......"

Before Bai Chen finished speaking, a powerful coercion suddenly struck, and this sudden momentum made Bai Chen come back to his senses, holding a dagger and looking at the surrounding bushes vigilantly, the cold wind drifted quietly, accompanied by leaves across Bai Chen's eyes.

"Whoosh"

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound in the bushes behind Bai Chen, which made Bai Chen's eyes flash, and he suddenly turned around and flicked his right hand, and the dagger was like a sharp sword plunged straight into the bushes.

Suddenly, the bushes quietly fell silent, as if nothing had happened, and Bai Chen was slightly relieved when he saw this, thinking that maybe it was just that his nerves were too tense and hallucinating.

Just when Bai Chen relaxed his vigilance and was about to go to pick up the dagger, the momentum from before suddenly burst out, this coercion couldn't help but make Bai Chen's face change drastically, he could clearly feel that the demon spirit from this coercion, its cultivation may have reached the peak of the spirit realm, and in this otherworldly plane, I am afraid that it is a ceiling-level demon spirit.

Bai Chen's face was solemn, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and said miserably in his heart: "It's really unlucky, how can such a demon spirit be encountered by me, it's over!"

In front of him, a huge black shadow slowly appeared in the bushes, and to Bai Chen's surprise, such a huge figure only made a subtle squirting sound that did not match the body shape.

Bai Chen fixed his eyes and saw that the black shadow was actually a huge mantis beast several feet long, with a green body and forelimbs like two sharp blades, this was the demon spirit jade mantis of the Zerg in the Buried Bone Forest.

The Jade Blade Mantis's attack method is similar to the Demon Flame Wolf that Bai Chen encountered before, and its attack ability is not weaker than that of the Demon Flame Wolf, and even worse than it, because the Jade Blade Mantis's forelimbs are like the claws of a sharp blade.

The wood-based jade sword mantis not only has a high attack, but also has a defense that is not inferior to some earth-based demon spirits, judging from the momentum exuded by this sword mantis, at least there are quite a few Terran monks who have entered the Eight Realms of Spirit.

Bai Chen's forehead was beading with sweat at this time, his eyes were firmly fixed on the blade mantis's extremely sharp forelimbs, with his cultivation in the three realms of the spirit, he was afraid that he would be cut in half by the sword mantis in a few rounds, he told himself that the more he got to this time, the more calm he became, the sword mantis in front of him was obviously not something he could match, and the only way to do this was to run!

Now Bai Chen doesn't care about whether he can pass the assessment, he can only escape from this place as fast as he can, and delay until the end of the assessment to get out safely, he doesn't want to be cut in half by the knife mantis.

Bai Chen's figure flashed suddenly, and he opened his legs to urge the spiritual power in his body to reach the peak, and escaped from this place at the fastest speed in his life.

But how could the sword mantis see the prey in its mouth fly away, so it waved its extremely sharp limbs like a sharp sword and chased after Bai Chen.

"Hahaha, Master's fifth spirit core has finally arrived!"

On the side of the forest, a slender and straight, extremely handsome young man was slowly pocketing the glowing spirit core in front of him, and the young man's eyes like peach blossoms watched the spirit core in his hand bloom with charming brilliance.

With the peeling off of the spirit core, the demon spirit lying on the ground gradually turned into a point of light and dissipated, the young man showed a smug smile and raised his lips and said, "I didn't expect me to be so powerful, I can easily ...... it."

"Help!"

Before the young man could finish speaking, an urgent cry for help suddenly sounded not far from him, which made him slightly stunned, and he hurriedly withdrew his laughing expression, and vigilantly looked around, looking for the source of the sound.

At this time, Bai Chen was desperately chasing after the sword mantis, and the distance between the two was only a stone's throw away, and the cry for help was also what Bai Chen shouted, he still underestimated the physical strength and speed of the sword mantis, after all, the peak of the spiritual realm is not comparable to a small initial stage of the spiritual realm.

The speed attack of the sword mantis is much higher than that of Bai Chen, and he originally pinned his hopes on whether he could delay time and force him to leave the other world, but now time seems to pass extremely slowly, and it will take some time before the end of the assessment, but with Bai Chen's existing physical strength and spiritual power, it is obviously impossible to last so long.

The young man glanced not far away, only to see a mass of figures running towards him, and it seemed that something was still following him......

At this time, Bai Chen also found the young man standing in front of him, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, he couldn't fight against this sword mantis, and the two of them would eventually have a better chance of winning!

"That's ......"

The young man looked at the unknown demon spirit glowing with green light behind Bai Chen, looked at it and exclaimed, "It's actually a sword mantis!"

In his cognition, the sword mantis is the overlord of the insect system in the demon spirit clan, and its attack power is the top existence in the insect system, how could he encounter it here!

The knife mantis spat out three needle-filled objects with extremely sharp green liquid from its mouth, this is the mantis's killing weapon, the mantis needle, not only has an extremely difficult to treat poison, but also this needle is so sharp that once it is stabbed, it will either kill or hurt.

Seeing this, Bai Chen reacted quickly, and jumped forward, dodging three deadly mantis needles.

At this time, the young man was completely stunned and couldn't move, he could clearly feel a strong coercion from this sword mantis, the sword mantis in front of him had reached the peak of the spiritual realm, and what he had hunted before was just a little demon spirit that had entered the spiritual realm or two, and he suddenly encountered a demon spirit with such a high cultivation, and he was stunned in place for a while.

"Brother, don't stand stupidly, hurry up and run!"

Bai Chen, who was on the side, saw that the young man was stunned in place, so he reminded loudly, and as he spoke, he quickly jumped up and hurriedly pulled the young man forward and ran away.
