What was even more frightening was that these Ghost Fire Insects were extremely fast.
Their bodies were completely composed of a special type of Ghost Fire that couldn't be killed by swords or sabers, nor could water extinguish. Only special Water Attribute True Qi or Ice Attribute Martial Skills could kill them.
Ling Xiao could do it, but he had no intention of doing so.
If these Ghost Fire Insects could help him kill the stern-faced cultivator behind him, he would naturally be more than happy to let them pass.
"Ah!"
Behind him, a scream rang out.
Ling Xiao snickered to himself.
Glancing back, Yang Kai saw that one of the stern-faced cultivator's eyes had been burned away by the Ghost Fire Insect.
However, the stern-faced cultivator was still a Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer cultivator. At the critical moment, he had stabbed the Ghost Fire Insect with his Ice Attribute True Qi.
The Ghost Fire Insect froze into ice and instantly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
However, the stern-faced cultivator had also lost an eye.
Fairy Ling Long could help the stern-faced cultivator stop his bleeding, but she couldn't regrow his lost eye.
"You bastard, I'll kill you!"
The stern-faced cultivator was furious after losing an eye and raised his sword to attack Ling Xiao, but he was stopped by Fairy Ling Long.
"We're partners now, if you kill him, you'll lose your eye for nothing."
Of course, this was just a formality, in fact, she also sent a message to the stern-faced cultivator.
"I'll leave that little brat to you later, you can kill him however you want, just endure it for now."
Hearing this, the stern-faced cultivator suppressed his anger slightly.
Everyone then continued to walk inside.
However, at this time, the stern-faced cultivator no longer dared to point his sword at Ling Xiao's back. If something else jumped out, this wicked little brat wouldn't warn him.
The entrance to the secluded home was quite wide, even if three people walked side by side, there wouldn't be any problems. The inside of the cave was pitch black, but there was a faint glow.
Those who often searched for treasures understood that if they saw such a glow, it was likely that a treasure was about to appear.
The few of them were a little excited, but they still suppressed their curiosity and didn't dare to rush forward. They still let Ling Xiao walk in front.
As he walked past the cave entrance, Ling Xiao noticed that there were many knife and sword marks on the cave walls. If he was not mistaken, these should be marks left behind after a battle.
Presumably, this Ancient Martial Artist had fought fiercely with someone here and finally managed to defend his cave residence. However, he passed away due to serious injuries.
Of course, this was only his speculation. Whether it was correct or not, he would have to go in and investigate to know.
Ling Xiao was very careful.
He was walking at the front. If there was any danger, he would be the first target. If he was careless, he could lose his life.
In the quiet and deep cave, only the soft footsteps of the five people could be heard, as well as the sound of water dripping from a stream. The air was filled with the smell of soil, and even a rotten stench.
The five of them didn't say a word. They were probably nervous. In such an environment, anything could happen.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks. Fairy Linglong, who was following closely behind him, couldn't stop in time because she was walking too fast. She directly fell onto Ling Xiao's back.
Her * * * was stuck to Ling Xiao's skin.
However, Ling Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit of hesitation.
This was because he knew very well that this fairy-like woman who seemed to be kind and understanding on the surface was actually a conceited and vicious woman.
"Pa!"
Fairy Linglong waved her hand and slapped Ling Xiao's face.
However, Ling Xiao had already dodged. Her slap landed directly on the cave wall. The wall was made of stone, but a three-inch-deep palm print was left on it.
It was clear how vicious Fairy Linglong was. If this slap landed on someone's face, wouldn't his head be smashed?
"Little pervert, why did you suddenly stop?"
Fairy Linglong asked loudly.
"Fairy, there's a Dragon Severing Boulder blocking the way. It's filled with inscriptions, and it's obvious that it's been strengthened by a formation. Only a Grotto-Heaven realm expert can break it open."
Ling Xiao explained.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that there was indeed a huge boulder in front of them. There were many inscriptions carved on it, and there was even a faint golden glow in the darkness.
"This must be the place where the ancient martial artist passed away. He must have set up this Dragon Severing Boulder to prevent anyone from sneaking up on him while he was recuperating. Who would have thought that he would still die from his injuries?"
The cold-faced martial artist analyzed.
"That's right. You with the surname Ling, hurry up and open the Dragon Severing Boulder."
Perhaps because she was about to see the treasure that she had been searching for for a long time, Fairy Linglong no longer had the patience to pretend with Ling Xiao. Her attitude became firm.
"I can open it, but you have to make him kneel down and apologize to me first."
Ling Xiao looked at Fairy Linglong and said calmly.
The person he was pointing at was the cold-faced martial artist.
"You're courting death!"
The cold-faced martial artist shouted coldly.
"Yeah, I'll die anyway if I open this Dragon Severing Boulder, so I might as well die with dignity. Kneel down and apologize. And you, Fairy Linglong, kneel down and kowtow to me. Call me Grandpa Ling three times, and I'll help you open the Dragon Severing Boulder."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Cold-Faced, kneel down!"
Although Fairy Linglong was trembling with anger, she actually knelt down on the ground and ordered the cold-faced martial artist beside her.
This woman was incredible.
She could endure things that ordinary people couldn't. If she was allowed to live, she would definitely pose a great threat to Ling Xiao.
It seemed that after this matter was over, he would have to get rid of her first.
"Grandpa Ling! Grandpa Ling! Grandpa Ling! We were wrong, we shouldn't have threatened you! "
Including the two peak Transcendent Realm cultivators, the four of them knelt down and called Ling Xiao grandfather three times before apologizing.
Ling Xiao then began to tinker with the Dragon Severing Boulder.
The Dragon Severing Boulder made use of a combination of mechanisms and Spirit Arrays. Its design was very exquisite, but it was a little difficult to open.
However, this was only for ordinary people. For Ling Xiao, it wasn't difficult at all.
Activating his Mountain and River Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao's eyes flickered with various inscriptions.
After about twenty breaths of time, a "ka ka" sound rang out as the Dragon Severing Boulder began to rise.
Looking at the Dragon Severing Boulder slowly rising, Fairy Linglong and the cold-faced martial artist exchanged glances and saw the anger and killing intent in each other's eyes.
They had to kill this guy surnamed Ling!
But for now, they had to endure.
"You two stay here and guard this place."
Fairy Linglong said to the two peak Transcendent Realm cultivators, "Don't let any vicious beasts run in."
Although she said they were guarding against vicious beasts, even a fool would know that they were guarding against Ling Xiao's escape.
They had suffered such a great grievance just now. If they didn't tear Ling Xiao into a thousand pieces, they definitely wouldn't let this matter rest.
Behind the Dragon Severing Boulder, there was a gentle light. There was also a light-absorbing Spirit Array here, similar to the one in the medicine shop Ling Xiao had destroyed.
