Guo Shier's group of four quietly flew towards the source of the commotion. The closer they got, the louder the noise became. The croaking sounds became more and more terrifying, directly penetrating into one's soul. There were also shouts and explosions, it was a complete mess.
Mo Nier looked a little worried. Guo Shier whispered: "Madam, don't worry, we will sneak over and watch. If we can avoid fighting, we will."
In front of them was a small hill. Qi Nanshan whispered: "It's behind the hill, we have to be careful." He rushed over first.
The four of them carefully entered the forest on the hill. The plants here were very unique. Even the trees were mostly white or greyish white. There were also some trees that emitted fluorescent light. So even if there was no sunlight, it would not be dark. This was especially true for professionals. As long as there was a trace of light, they could see very far away.
Below the hill was the edge of the swamp. Large areas of shallow water could be seen, but the color of the water was black. Only places where plants grew had light. At first glance, it looked like it was snowing heavily. Everything was white, only the water was black.
A giant toad shaped rune worm was squatting on the ground, confronting two tall men. Qi Nanshan squinted his eyes and said: "Damn, it's a Star sect professional! It has the strength of a Saint Master … that mutated toad is very strong! "
Guo Shier carefully observed for a while, then said: "It's not that the toad is strong, it's that the Star sect disciples were poisoned!"
Mo Nier whispered: "They are both Primary Saint Masters, Rune Warriors. After being poisoned, their strength quickly decreased. They can barely fight against the toad now, but it's hard to say after a while."
Guo Shier said: "They were probably poisoned by the toad's sneak attack. Otherwise, the toad wouldn't be able to beat the two of them."
The two Star sect disciples were in a sorry state. One of them had half his body covered in black venom, the other's legs were covered in venom. This venom was very powerful and could corrode the runes protecting the body. Because one of them had his legs poisoned, he could not escape and could only confront the toad. On the other hand, the toad was teasing the two of them in a leisurely manner.
Croak! A mouthful of black venom was spat out.
One of them raised his hand and shot out a bead, which exploded with a loud bang. The toad jumped to the side, avoiding the explosion. As for the shrapnel currents that were charging at it, the toad didn't care at all because of its thick skin and continued to croak loudly.
Qi Nanshan said: "They are in trouble, they can't even take out their life weapons. Normal weapons cannot shake the toad. Using explosive beads … they won't last long."
Neither Qi Nanshan nor Guo Shier planned to help. They were people who were being hunted by the Star Sect, so how could they help two enemies? It was already good enough that they didn't hit them while they were down.
Qi Nanshan didn't want to be a fisherman. He softly said, "Let's leave this place. Whether or not those two Star Sect disciples can defeat the toad will depend on their own luck." As he spoke, he scurried to the left. Guo Shi 'er glanced back and then followed suit. The four of them quietly entered the forest and disappeared without a trace.
The gurgling sound gradually became indistinct, and the four of them flew deeper into the arcane realm.
Below them was a large swamp. Using the flight talisman, the four of them flew seven or eight meters above the ground. This height was more suitable. If there were talisman worms lying in ambush below and they launched an attack, they could use this distance as a buffer to react in time. If the attack came from the sky, they could quickly land and prepare for battle. But they only wanted to cross the swamp as soon as possible. This terrain was not suitable for fighting.
Along the way, they encountered swarms of mosquitoes. They were different from the mosquitoes Guo Shier had seen in his previous life. Each one was the size of a palm and many were level one or two mutated mosquitoes. Their bodies were covered with white stripes and looked scary. There were hundreds and thousands of them. Fortunately, Qi Nanshan was there. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with them. With the soul flame, they could burn as many mosquitoes as they came.
Along the way, they encountered countless small insects. The four didn't want to fight them and flew quickly, hoping to reach land as soon as possible.
After flying for more than 20 days without rest, the four of them finally arrived at the other side of the river and entered the forest. Qi Nanshan was full of energy and didn't seem tired at all. Guo Shier and Mo Nier were talisman professions. Their physical strength couldn't compare to talisman martial professions. Both were very tired.
After setting up the tent, Qi Nanshan stood guard outside. Guo Shier fell asleep. He slept for two whole days before he recovered. He walked out of the tent refreshed and immediately smelled food. It was the smell of barbecue.
The Eagle Demon set up a grill, and a huge mutated rune beast's leg was stabbed into the steel frame. Below it, a pile of fire crackled as it burned. He used his Natal Talisman Blade to make many cuts on the leg and poured seasoning and oil on it. Qi Nanshan and Mo Nier sat on the side and waited.
"Shier, it's almost done. Have a taste of my cooking."
Falconer said proudly.
Guo Shier asked: "Uncle Falconer, aren't you afraid of attracting mutated talisman insects by barbecuing meat in such a big way?"
Falconer said: "Grandpa has checked. There are no powerful mutated talisman insects within a hundred miles."
Shier was puzzled: "How is that possible?"
Qi Nanshan said: "Falconer is right. I have checked. Not only are there no powerful talisman insects, there aren't even ordinary ones. You can tell from the sound of the insects. I am also puzzled. But … Falconer's barbecue is not a problem."
Before cooking in the wild, it was necessary to understand the surroundings and see if there were powerful talisman insects nearby. Otherwise, before they could start eating, those powerful creatures would come first.
Guo Shi 'er threw out a bottle and said, "Brush this on it!"
Falconer asked: "What is this? Another seasoning you invented? Hmm, what is this smell? It smells sweet … "
Guo Shi 'er smiled and said, "Wild honey, good stuff."
Falconer dipped his finger in it and tasted it. He said happily: "So sweet … and fragrant!"
Mo Nier was interested: "Wild honey? This is good stuff. Where did you get it? Do you have more? "
Guo Shier took out another bottle and gave it to Mo Nier: "Madam, I got this by chance. There are only a few bottles. If we find a beehive in the future, maybe we can get some more."
Falconer extinguished the fire and brushed the honey on the barbecue meat. Immediately, a strong honey fragrance wafted through the air, stimulating everyone's appetite.
Once the honey was brushed on, the barbecue tasted different. It tasted like honey. The four of them ate heartily. Under Guo Shier's influence, Falconer's barbecue skills improved a lot. It turned out that when he barbecued meat on the prairie, he only sprinkled some salt on it and nothing else. The meat he barbecued was tough and tough. People with bad teeth couldn't eat it.
Guo Shier commented: "Not bad. It's a pity that I didn't brush it with enough oil. The meat isn't tender enough. It's okay."
Falconer laughed: "I know your barbecue is delicious! Hurry up and eat. What's with all this nonsense? "
Guo Shier laughed. He and Falconer had experienced hardships together. Their relationship was not ordinary. They were like father and son, but also like brothers. It didn't matter if they joked around.
Mo Nier ate a few pieces of barbecue and stopped eating. She thought the meat was too greasy. Falconer never cooked soup when he barbecued. He could only eat the meat dry. Eating too much would make him feel uncomfortable.
A moment later, a thick leg was finished by the four of them. The Hawk Demon took off the leg bone and chewed on it slowly alone. He was a carnivore. As long as there was meat, he would be satisfied.
They found a small pond. Qi Nanshan, Mo Nier, and Guo Shier washed their hands and faces. Qi Nanshan sighed: "I don't know if the old man entered the Secret Territory. Shier, should we try sending a message?"
Guo Shier thought for a moment and said: "Let's wait a little longer. The old man didn't leave many message talismans. It will be harder to find him after using them." A message talisman could fall into Luo Jie's hands as long as it was in the same continent or Secret Territory. But if Luo Jie wasn't here, the talisman would be useless. So Guo Shier didn't want to take the risk.
Qi Nanshan also didn't dare to use the talisman carelessly. If he really used up all the talismans, he would be at a loss. He said: "That's fine. We will try our best to find him. We will meet again." Even though he said this, he didn't have much confidence. This world was too big. There were countless continents and Secret Territories. If they got lost, they wouldn't even be able to find their way back.
Guo Shier said: "I don't think this Secret Territory is big. It can be considered a talisman insect Secret Territory. If the old man entered, would he find another exit?"
Qi Nanshan nodded: "Definitely!"
Guo Shier said: "Then we should also look for other exits. See if there are any traces left by the old man."
Qi Nanshan agreed: "Good, I think this is more appropriate."
The four of them flew up again and rushed straight ahead.
Guo Shier had long since become numb to the idea of rushing. Sometimes he wanted to use a shuttle car or a flying car as a means of transportation. Although those things were easy to use, they were too big of a target. No matter where they went, they would always be a conspicuous target. His strength was not bad, but in the Secret Territory, this kind of strength was only enough to protect himself. He couldn't run around arrogantly.
On the road, they came across a few low level mutated talisman insects. Guo Shier killed them not to collect materials, but to prepare food for the blade shadow mantis. Right now the blade shadow mantis was still very weak and needed to be constantly fed. These low level mutated talisman insects were very suitable. Aside from the mutated talisman insect corpses, he also asked Qi Nanshan to help him refine a Soul Bead. Since he couldn't do it himself, he would need to be a Great Saint Master to learn it.
This Secret Territory had countless types of mutated talisman insects, but the majority of them were low level. So far, they hadn't come across a single level 8 mutated talisman insect. This made Guo Shier a little disappointed. Because of Qi Nanshan's presence, he was full of confidence. Unfortunately, along the way, they didn't see any traces of high level mutated talisman insects.
They also didn't see any traces of Luo Jie. Guo Shier suspected that the old man hadn't entered the Secret Territory. He said: "Grandpa Nanshan, let's go out. It seems that Master didn't enter the Secret Territory."
Mo Nier said: "Okay, let's go out. This place is very gloomy. It's very uncomfortable."
Qi Nanshan also nodded: "Okay, let's go out."
Guo Shier recorded the coordinates of this Secret Territory. He felt that this Secret Territory of Talisman Insects was very interesting. If there was a chance in the future, he would come again. Now that he had two Insect Talismans, if he wanted to let the Soul Insects out to hunt, this was a very good place.
