Chapter 59: The Praying Mantis King
Time passed quickly, three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Yan Jing and the others had not yet arrived. On this day, Li Qiyue felt bored in his heart, feeling inexplicably troubled, so he opened his eyes and stopped practicing, opened his spiritual eye and scanned the vicinity, since he practiced the forbidden divine stab, his divine sense has been enhanced by more than one percent compared to before, and the range of spiritual eyes is slightly more than before, and he has only practiced forbidden divine stabbing for less than a year, and he has such an effect, but he is far from imagining.www.biquge.info
However, he didn't see anything abnormal at all, and in the past three months, he didn't find any trace of the second-level mantis demon.
He wanted to repeat the old trick and use the demon decoy grass to kill the mantis demon, but after thinking about it, he still faintly felt that it was inappropriate, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't think of it.
Li Qiyue just walked out of the small circle of colorful ecstasy where he was hiding, and found that there seemed to be a green shadow flashing in front of him, rushing towards him, he almost didn't have any consideration, his body flickered, after four afterimages, Li Qiyue had already rolled into the small circle of colorful ecstasy, just when he was frightened, a second-level mantis demon with a body like a leopard stared at Li Qiyue with mung bean-sized eyes.
Li Qiyue didn't have time to take a closer look at the second-level monster opposite, he only subconsciously flashed, and after three afterimages, he was already outside the magic circle. And there was a rolling roar like a mountain flood erupting in the magic circle, and he felt the stone flat under his feet shaking, and there was a feeling that the ground was shaking the mountain.
He was about to take out the array flag, and then arrange a magic circle to strengthen the power of the magic circle, and temporarily trap this kind of fierce mantis demon, at this time a few figures flew faintly behind him, Li Qiyue looked back, and found that the person who came was Feng Yujing, Hua Qianqian, and Yan Jing, he was busy hiding the array flag and catching up.
Approaching Feng Yujing and the others, Li Qiyue was taken aback, only to see Hua Qianqian's clothes in rags, most of them were torn into strips of cloth, if it weren't for her other close-fitting clothes, it must have been exposed by the spring breeze at this time, her left upper arm and right lower limb have jagged cuts, deep into the bone, obviously has been treated simply, the bleeding has stopped, but the blood on her body is stained, almost covering the whole body.
Feng Yujing's condition seemed to be even worse, one of his right arms was simply wrapped in front of his chest with a cloth belt, there were several serrated cuts on his chest and abdomen, and most of the clothes on his body were damaged, covered with blood, and his face was pale and bloodless. At this time, the former style is completely gone.
However, Yan Jing's condition is okay, except for a shallow jagged cut on her left arm, her clothes are still neat.
Li Qiyue didn't ask about the situation, and knew that they had an encounter with this second-level mantis demon, and Feng Yujing and the three of them seemed to have suffered a lot, but although the second-level mantis demon was defeated by the three, it also knew that it was outnumbered, so it simply accepted it when it was good, and fled to the tomb of King Liao, not wanting to inadvertently break into the magic circle at the mercy of Li Qiyue.
Although Feng Yujing and the others suffered a secret loss in front of them, after all, two of the three of them were foundation building period cultivators, and under the joint efforts, they were not only severely injured by a second-level demon, but also let them escape, no matter what, their faces were unjustifiable.
It's a pity that this second-level mantis demon flew away too fast, and Feng Yujing and Hua Qianqian were just fine, barely keeping up, but Yan Jing was just a Qi cultivation period Great Perfection realm, and compared with them, it was not a simple difference of one or two orders, so Feng Yujing and Hua Qianqian almost hijacked Yan Jingfei and chased after them.
Just as Li Qiyue stepped forward to greet them, an earth-shattering roar came from the tomb of King Liao, and almost in the blink of an eye, a figure shaped like a cow with a whole green body jumped out of a mountain and went straight to Li Qiyue's magic circle that trapped the second-level mantis demon.
Feng Yujing's eyes were sharp, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone go quickly, fourth-level monsters, we can't afford to provoke them." ”
When Li Qiyue heard this, he hurriedly sacrificed the spirit sword and flew out, Yan Jing fell behind and said with tears in his eyes: "Senior Feng, help me." ”
Li Qiyue happened to fly past her, stretched out his hand to copy it, clamped it under his armpit, and saw Hua Qianqian grinding the sword, bent a bend, and also held it in his arms, and flew away. All this was done in the blink of an eye, and Feng Yujing, who was watching it, was so stunned that he almost forgot to run for his life.
After flying for about three hours, Li Qiyue put away his spirit sword and landed on a mountain, followed by Feng Yujing, who was panting.
Li Qiyue put Yan Jing and Hua Qianqian down, but because the speed was too fast just now, the two of them hadn't reacted until now.
Feng Yujing calmed down and said: "Li Daoyou, you are flying too fast, and you are carrying two people, although I am a cultivator in the middle of the foundation building period, but when it comes to the art of the sword, I am far inferior to you." ”
Li Qiyue looked at Yan Jing and Hua Qianqian, who were in shock, and said with a smile: "I have this ability, if I don't have this ability to run, I don't know how many times I have died." ”
Feng Yu nodded and said: "You are good at things and you have skills, Li Daoyou has such a ability, Feng admires it very much, but I vaguely saw you have a few afterimages along the way, what's going on?"
"Hehe, I don't know, probably because I escaped too fast. You should deal with your own wounds first, and I will go to the other side to protect the Dharma for you. ”
After a day and a night of rest, the four of them basically recovered, and everyone sat around and discussed what to do on the road behind?
Yan Jing hesitated: "If this mission can't be completed, even if the third task is completed in the future, this trip won't be complete." ”
Hua Qianqian said: "The second-level mantis demon is already difficult to deal with, that fourth-level demon must be the parents of the mantis demon or a double cultivator, and the latter is more likely, because the second-level mantis demon is male, and the fourth-level quasi-mantis king is a female, no matter which possibility they are, but it is certain that they are the same as Li Daoyou, they are all good at speed." Even if we have the strength to kill them, once they escape, with our speed, we can't catch up, not to mention their attack power is amazing, in front of a second-level mantis demon, we have suffered a big loss. ”
Feng Yu nodded and said: "Indeed, as Hua Daoyou said, a second-level mantis demon is so difficult to deal with, not to mention a fourth-level mantis demon? We'd better not touch it. As for the task Yan Daoyou said, let's hurry up a little bit in the next time, and then make up for one more task, and I, Feng Yujing, will definitely help. ”
Li Qiyue saw that everyone had made up their minds, so he took over and said, "Senior Feng, Senior Hua, Senior Sister Yan, since we have already made a plan, we will still implement it according to the existing plan." You go to Tianzhu Mountain in Yuzhou first, I have something left on Xiejia Mountain and must be retrieved. ”
Hua Qianqian's face changed slightly: "Li Daoyou, are you still going?"
"Thank you for your concern, but I have to go. ”
The reason why Li Qiyue insisted on returning to Jiashan was actually to see if the small magic circle of colorful ecstasy at his mercy could withstand the impact of the fourth-level monsters, and at the same time he was quite interested in the mantis demon insects, according to the records in the "Doppelganger Notes", the praying mantis ranked one hundred and thirty-first on the list of spirit insects, which was a lot higher than the ranking of the golden thread ice silkworm, and was known for its ferocity. He already has the Golden Thread Ice Silkworm and the Purple Kite as spiritual pets, if he subdues the second-level mantis demon as a spiritual pet, it will not help him in the future, as for the fourth-level mantis demon, he has a way to lure it away.
In the past, he didn't dare to take risks, but now that he has the Qiankun Boots, coupled with the Lost Steps, he has the confidence to easily escape from the hands of the quasi-mantis demon.
Now what he needs to think about is how to separate the two mantis demons, and how to kill the quasi-mantis king.
While flying, Li Qiyue thought about countermeasures.
When he flew to the Jiejia Mountain, he found that the small magic circle of the Colorful Ecstasy at his mercy had been mostly destroyed, and the fourth-level quasi-mantis king was not in the magic circle, nor was it near the magic circle, but the breath of the second-level mantis demon seemed to be still in the magic circle.
Li Qiyue first set up a set of the strongest magic circle he could take out his hand near this small magic circle of colorful ecstasy, that is, the small magic circle of the anti-five elements plum blossom, now no matter what he does, he must first arrange a set of magic circles to save his life when necessary, and the anti-five elements plum blossom small magic circle is slightly less solid than the anti-five elements trapped immortal magic circle, but it is easier to operate. After doing this, he thought about it again and again, and still arranged a set of colorful ecstasy magic circles on the periphery of the anti-five elements plum blossom small magic circle, that is, he was at the mercy of a large five small and six groups of magic circles, and he was confident that even if he met an old guy who existed in the Yuan Infant Period, he would not be easily broken by the formation.
He stayed in the magic circle to observe the broken magic circle on the opposite side for half a month, and still saw that the magic circle on the opposite side only had a trace of the second-level mantis demon's breath, and other than that, there was no movement at all, so he cautiously entered the broken magic circle on the opposite side.
To Li Qiyue's surprise, there were only the corpses of the second-level mantis demon left in the magic circle, and the scene was quite messy, Li Qiyue picked up the only wreckage and found that the remaining wreckage was a pair of mantis wings and a pair of forearms, but unfortunately it was a second-level mantis demon, and its material properties were far from catching up with the fourth-level mantis demon, but fortunately, he obviously felt that there were still strong spiritual power fluctuations in these remains, and it was still the material for refining good magic weapons. Better than nothing, he put the remains in a storage bag almost without thinking. Originally, he wanted to subdue this second-level mantis demon, but he didn't expect that the plan would not be as good as the change, which made his wishful thinking fail.
Just when he was about to put away the remnant array flag, there was a green shadow flashing behind him, Li Qiyue subconsciously launched a lost step, after four afterimages, he drifted to the left front more than ten zhang away, and when he looked back, he saw a girl standing opposite in green, tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, giving people an unusually refreshing feeling, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Li Qiyue shuddered involuntarily, only to feel cold sweat on his back, he licked his bitter lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, who are you?"
"Hmph, do you knowingly ask?" the girl's sword eyebrows rose angrily, and she held a pair of serrated swords as green as jade in each hand, and the cold light between the swords shone.
Li Qiyue knew who this girl was as soon as she appeared in front of him, but from the confirmation from the girl's voice, he believed that the girl in front of him was the fourth-level mantis demon that had advanced to the fifth-level transformation demon, which was a real mantis king.
