Chapter 1056: Worm Hive
At this moment, the yellow light on the ground flashed, and in a "bang", a yellow figure emerged from the ground, it was the big man with cheeks.
The stone armor on his body was full of holes at the moment, but the person was not injured, just gasping for breath, and it was obviously not easy to walk underground.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the ice wall that Shi Daoyou and I have laid can't stop the fireflies outside for long, go deeper!" Su Jingqian glanced at Han Li deeply, then turned around and walked towards the cave.
The others reacted immediately and hurriedly followed.
Han Li also followed, but his gaze glanced outside, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
There must be a reason why the insect swarm outside was suddenly so restless, but unfortunately he didn't know much about the fire year fireflies and couldn't guess the reason.
The cave is filled with a rather strange forbidden power that restricts the spread of divine consciousness, and the place is pitch black, and the field of vision cannot be seen too far.
However, the army of fireflies in the rear could catch up at any time, and everyone didn't dare to stop for a moment, and walked forward without saying a word, and at the same time, Su Jingqian and Han Li were the leaders to cast spells to resist the small flocks of fireflies that appeared around them from time to time, and they didn't dare to be too fast.
Fortunately, the deeper you go, the fewer wormholes there are on the surrounding walls, and the fewer fireflies around, which makes everyone a lot easier.
After moving forward for some distance, the group came to a large cave space.
When the fire-year-old fireflies that followed closely behind arrived here, they suddenly stopped and hovered outside the cave, but they did not set foot in the cave space for half a step.
Seeing this, everyone was first shocked, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Li glanced at the swarm of insects outside the cave, then quickly withdrew his gaze and looked around.
The space of this cave is thousands of feet wide, and half of the area is a red magma lake, constantly tumbling with fiery red slurry bubbles, filled with terrifying heat, and waves of heat coming from the surface.
The crimson flames emitted by the magma illuminate the entire cavern into a crimson world.
There was a red platform above the lake magma, and at the end of the platform was connected to another passage, which was also pitch black, and faintly a dark red light was shining through it.
The other half of the cave is an open space, and the ground is covered with sharp red stone pillars, like stalagmites.
After the group swept their eyes in the cave, they all looked at the stalagmites at the same time.
Because on the three largest stalagmites, there were three dark red beehives several feet high, each of which flashed with flame-like light, and even emitted a wave of time law fluctuations.
The power of these three laws of time is extremely large, but they are not condensed, but they are scattered, surging in the cave space.
The red flames in the magma fluctuated with the power of the three laws of time, up and down, and the entire void also hummed rhythmically.
Han Li looked at the three beehives from afar, his pupils shrunk slightly.
If he guessed correctly, these three beehives should be the birthplace of the fire-year-old fireflies outside the cave, and those fireflies outside dare not approach, perhaps due to some kind of rules, they dare not approach this place as some kind of holy place.
This kind of "holy place" seems to be calm, but it will certainly not be completely defenseless.
In addition, the power of time emanating from these three beehives, coupled with the fact that they had been silent for so many years, had transformed itself into an extremely rare time spirit.
While Han Li was looking at the three beehives, Su Jingqian, Jin Liu, and the others, like Han Li, cautiously observed their surroundings, most of them had a bit of greed in their eyes, but they also didn't dare to act rashly.
However, before the treasure, there was never a shortage of people who were greedy for merit.
With the sound of three whistling voices breaking through the air, three figures flew out almost simultaneously, each rushing towards the three beehives.
One was a gray-haired young man, the other was a young woman in a black robe, both of them were from that group of loose cultivators, and the other was the big man with a cheek.
"Brother Lu, Qi Daoyou, don't be reckless!" In the scattered cultivation group, the blonde-haired young man's face changed and he shouted, but it was too late.
The gray-haired young man and the black-robed young woman had already swooped near the hive, each emitting a ray of light that enveloped the hive and lifted it upward.
The big man on the other side also flew to the front of another beehive, landed more than ten feet away, and stepped on the ground.
The ground near the beehive flashed yellow, and a stone figure condensed from red rock emerged, more than ten zhang high, and a big rock hand grabbed the beehive and pulled it upward.
Unexpectedly, all three hives were lifted up without any difficulty.
The three of them were stunned at first, and then they were all overjoyed, and they pinched the trick in their hands to put away the hive.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The crimson light on the three beehives suddenly flourished, and the power of the law of time, which had originally permeated the entire cave, suddenly retracted and converged near the three beehives.
Almost instantly, with the three beehives as the center, a whirlpool of dark red light and shadow appeared in the void within dozens of zhang of the surrounding area, enveloping the three of them in it.
The three of them were obviously prepared, and when they were about to use their means to resist, their bodies were stagnant, as if they were stuck in a quagmire, and their movements were more than ten times slower.
At this time, in the eyes of Han Li and the others, these three people seemed to be in slow motion in this dark red vortex of light and shadow, and it was indescribably weird.
At this moment, a seemingly ordinary spot above the stone wall of the cave roof suddenly flashed and outlined a shape the size of a millstone.
Seeing this, Han Li's heart was shocked, and Su Jingqian and the others also gasped.
I saw that the thing the size of the millstone was like a giant firefly, and its body structure was roughly the same as that of the fire-year-old firefly outside, except that there was an additional flame-shaped pattern on the shell of this insect.
This insect was entrenched here, as if it had merged into this small world, so that everyone, including Han Li, did not find the slightest clue.
The giant firefly opened its mouth, and three red flames shot down from it like lightning, pulling out the remnants of the Dao Dao, hitting the three of them at an incredible speed.
The gray-haired young man and the black-robed young woman didn't have time to react at all, and their bodies were pierced by the red flames, and they directly turned into two fire men, burned by the raging red flames.
The bodies of the two of them quickly melted, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes.
The strength of the big man was much stronger than that of the gray-haired young man, and under the yellow mangs on his body, he held up a small spiritual domain with a diameter of half a zhang, and barely shot backwards with the power of the law of time.
But the speed of the crimson flame was too fast, and he didn't completely dodge, and his left arm was still pierced.
A ball of crimson flames emerged from the big man's arm, burning fiercely, and half of the big man's arm was directly turned into ashes.
The crimson flames burned and spread upwards rapidly, threatening to spread down his arm and onto his body.
The big man's face changed drastically, his feet stepped back, and his other hand turned into a knife and slashed towards his shoulder.
But he was still in the dark red light and shadow of the hive at the moment, and his movements were slow, obviously one step slower, and his heart was very anxious.
At this moment, a golden sword shadow came like lightning, and with a "poof" sound, it slashed at the shoulder of the big man, cutting off his left arm at the shoulder.
As soon as the arm detached from the big man's body, it was swallowed by the crimson flames with a pop, and quickly turned to ashes.
Hundreds of zhang away, Han Li silently withdrew his fingers.
The big man breathed a sigh of relief, the yellow light on his body lit up again, and the speed of the backward shot increased sharply, instantly flying out of the light and shadow range of the hive, nodding gratefully at Han Li, and then turning his hand and taking out a yellow and red elixir and swallowing it.
In an instant, the blood-light flesh buds of the big man's severed arm were intertwined, and a brand-new arm emerged.
The giant firefly looked at Han Li, let out an angry cry from its mouth, and with a movement of its feet, it fell straight down from the top of the cave and landed on the top of the stone man summoned by the big man.
The claws under its body flashed with red fire, and they waved slightly.
Several half-moon-shaped red blades of light flew out from its claws, each of which emitted strong fluctuations in the laws of time, easily slicing the stone man's body into several pieces.
The stone man's body immediately collapsed, and with a "bang", it turned into a large pile of rubble.
The three beehives flickered and fell back into place.
The giant firefly crouched on a rock, looking at Han Li and the others, their eyes flashing with ferocity.
"This should be the Fire Year Insect King, who can skillfully manipulate the law of time, and his strength is many times more powerful than the average Fire Year Firefly!" Su Jingqian narrowed her beautiful eyes and reminded in a loud voice.
The Fire Year Insect King suddenly looked at Su Jingqian, as if he could understand her words, and then his body moved, and suddenly turned into a crimson phantom, and pounced on this woman like a lightning speed.
With a wave of its two front claws, two half-moon-shaped red rays shot out with great speed, one slashing towards Su Jingqian and the other towards Han Li next to him.
The half-moon-shaped red light was incredibly fast, and it appeared in front of the two of them in a flash.
Han Li's figure flickered from side to side, then disappeared from the spot out of thin air, and the next moment his figure appeared more than a hundred zhang away, leaving the Fire Year Insect King stunned.
Although Su Jingqian's cultivation was high, she didn't have Han Li's ghostly speed, and she quickly floated back a little under her feet, barely pulling away a little distance, and at the same time waved her jade hand.
There was a sound of water, and a blue light appeared in front of him, turning into a blue vortex in a blink of an eye, turning rapidly, and the surrounding void was also driven.
The crimson blade slashed at the blue vortex and was slightly blocked for a moment, but immediately broke through, slashing the blue vortex open with a "snort" and continuing to shoot forward.
However, the crimson light blade was also deflected a little by the blue vortex, and flew past Su Jingqian's body, slashing into the ground with a "poof", making a black hole in the shape of a light blade, and the black inside was dark and faint.
Seeing this, the other people's faces changed drastically and they scattered in a hurry, and they all stayed away from the Fire Year Insect King.
"Let's do it together, don't give it a chance to breathe!" A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Su Jingqian's smooth forehead, and she let out a coquettish voice.
The cultivation of everyone present is considered to be excellent, and at this time, there are chasing soldiers and intercepting them, so they naturally have already understood their own situation, Su Jingqian's voice did not fall, and one by one the immortal weapons flew in, changing into various attacks, and swept towards the location of the Fire Year Insect King.
