There were way too many Ancient Blood Mosquitoes and they swarmed over like a swarm of locusts.
Even if they knew the weakness of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes, it was inevitable that there would be openings in their defenses and some of them would get close to them!
That slender, bloodstained mouthpart was sharp and sharp. When it stabbed into a cultivator's body, it would leave a bloody hole and turn the cultivator into a skeleton before long without any flesh or blood left!
As the group sprinted forward, cultivators started to die and empty spots appeared.
Under Tang Yu's command, the group shrank and became more cohesive, filling up the empty spots to prevent the conical formation from being torn apart.
Although they were both at six meridian Foundation Establishment, Su Zimo's spirit energy was much richer than the cultivators of Elixir Yang Sect's Battle Hall and was comparable to seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Coupled with his supreme-grade flying sword and Ethereal Sword, Su Zimo's 18 flying swords at the front caused immense damage and were invincible!
None of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes could get close to them. Blood mists appeared continuously and the wails of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes could be heard.
With Su Zimo taking on most of the attacks, the pressure on Ji Chengtian and Yan Jun lessened significantly as the group pushed forward continuously.
Even without turning back, Su Zimo could sense that there were cultivators falling to the ground one after another in the group behind him.
In this foggy valley, anyone who was severely injured would die.
Since those cultivators chose to enter the valley in pursuit of Elixir Pool Sect's treasures, they would have to endure the dangers they were facing right now!
Su Zimo was no saint and did not have the energy to save everyone. He could only try his best to ensure that the formation at the front was not messed up and lead the group forward continuously.
An hour later, everyone finally broke out of the encirclement of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes.
The surrounding Ancient Blood Mosquitoes gradually thinned and were killed by the flying swords.
"Everyone, take a rest and treat your wounds. Consume elixirs and recover your stamina."
After breaking free from the encirclement of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes, Tang Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief and said loudly.
When he heard that arrangement, Su Zimo frowned and did not comment.
Many cultivators stopped in their tracks and consumed elixirs to bandage their wounds, panting slightly with pale faces.
Everyone looked at Su Zimo, who was at the forefront, with complicated expressions.
Previously, none of the Elixir Yang Sect cultivators understood why Tang Yu offended the Four Mounted Bandits in order to recruit Su Zimo.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized how terrifying Su Zimo was!
After this great battle, Su Zimo's expression was as usual, calm and composed. Compared to their state, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Tang Yu, Uncle Liang and the others could see it even more clearly. If not for Su Zimo carving out a path of blood at the front, they would have lost at least half of their cultivators!
But now, they had only lost slightly more than a hundred cultivators after escaping the encirclement of the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes.
After a while, Su Zimo saw that everyone's wounds had been treated and they had consumed the Spiritual Pills. He came to Tang Yu's side and said in a low voice, "Let's hurry up. We can't stay here for long."
There was less than an hour before the sky turned dark.
For everyone from Elixir Yang Sect, time was extremely tight – the longer they stayed in the valley, the more dangerous it would be!
Furthermore, it was only a group of Ancient Blood Mosquitoes earlier on.
There were no traces of remnant beasts or mutated beasts.
Su Zimo had a feeling that once night fell, pure-blooded ferocious beasts would definitely appear!
At that time, it would be a nightmare for all the sects and cultivators in the valley!
Tang Yu nodded and was about to speak.
Suddenly, Yan Jun sneered, "Su Zimo, you have a strong stamina and can continue on your journey. However, you've got to consider the feelings of others!"
Yan Jun's voice was extremely loud, as though he was saying it intentionally for others to hear.
When many cultivators heard that, they looked at Su Zimo with displeasure in their eyes.
When she saw the expressions of the other cultivators, Tang Yu hesitated as well.
Yan Jun said loudly, "Everyone, there's no need to rush. A little more time won't make any difference."
Su Zimo smiled and did not say anything else.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, as though he sensed something, Su Zimo's eyes flashed coldly as he spun around and looked towards the back of the formation.
"What's wrong?"
When Tang Yu saw Su Zimo's strange expression, she asked hurriedly.
Before she finished her sentence, the ground at the back of the cone-shaped formation suddenly trembled and gradually turned soft, showing signs of collapsing!
It was as though some terrifying living being was about to break out of the ground!
"Hurry, let's go!"
Su Zimo shouted.
Tang Yu realized that something was amiss as well and shouted hurriedly, "Everyone, follow me and leave this place quickly!"
Rumble!
Boom! The ground at the back suddenly collapsed and dark red tentacles as thick as buckets extended from the ground, dragging the cultivators one after another into the depths of the ground!
"Earth Dragon! It's an Earth Dragon! "
Uncle Liang's expression changed as he exclaimed.
Earth Dragons were not dragons and lived in the depths of the ground all year round. They resembled anacondas but had no scales on their bodies. Instead, they had circles of dark red threads and did not have eyes. They were extremely sensitive to light and vibrations on the ground.
They had a round, bloody mouth on their heads with circles of menacing fangs. As they squirmed, they could mince living beings into minced meat with ease!
The most frightening thing was that Earth Dragons had extremely strong regenerative powers!
Even if they were sliced into a few pieces, they could recover to their original state as long as they entered the ground to recuperate!
Any living being that was dragged into the depths of the ground by an Earth Dragon would be doomed – even ancient remnant beasts would not be able to escape!
Although Su Zimo had warned them beforehand, most of the cultivators at the back scoffed and were completely unprepared. Some of them were even seated on the ground with their legs crossed.
The ground collapsed and those cultivators were dragged into the ground by the Earth Dragon. They only had time to let out a tragic cry before falling silent.
Some of the cultivators soared into the air hurriedly. Before they could attack, they were devoured by the Earth Dragon, spewing blood everywhere in an extremely tragic manner!
Some of the cultivators summoned their flying swords hurriedly and sliced the Earth Dragon into two.
However, the Earth Dragon did not die and was still able to unleash immense killing power even with half of its body!
The ground was stained with blood and was scarlet.
"Hurry and run! Hurry and run!"
"Hurry and leave this place!"
A series of shouts could be heard in the chaos.
The cone-shaped formation was activated once more but it was already a little messy. Under Su Zimo's lead, they sprinted towards the depths of the valley.
After fleeing for a full 15 minutes, the cultivators finally broke free from the pursuit of the Earth Dragon and gradually slowed down.
Most of the cultivators were drenched in sweat with fearful expressions.
That escape had taken a huge toll on everyone's mental and physical stamina. Even Ji Chengtian's face was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Su Zimo was still the same as ever.
His eyes were clear and his aura was steady. His stamina was like the boundless starry skies and the deep oceans with no end in sight.
Everything that had happened just now seemed to be nothing to him!
Tang Yu looked at the remaining Elixir Yang Sect cultivators with a sorrowful expression.
Elixir Yang Sect only lost slightly more than a hundred people after the huge battle with the Ancient Blood Mosquitoes.
Almost 200 cultivators were buried here just because they were delayed on the spot!
Recalling Su Zimo's suggestion previously, Tang Yu felt even more guilty.
She was at least half responsible for the deaths of those 200 cultivators!
If she had been more decisive, perhaps …
