Hai Lin also said, "Commander Zuo is right. Let's let everyone rest and continue the journey tomorrow morning." He was worried about his subordinates and was afraid that they would be in danger.
Li Yunxiao nodded slightly and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
In the distance, Gu Yuesheng seemed to have calmed down. Summoning the eighth-rank demonic beast had consumed too much soul power. Coupled with the attack of qi and blood, he was extremely weak at the moment.
He took out an elixir and swallowed it. Soon, his face was flushed and he seemed to be very energetic.
"Your judgment of them is really accurate. They really didn't enter the forest!"
Gu Yuesheng seemed to be praising Situ Heng. Then, a ferocious look appeared on his face. "Fortunately, I had a second plan here. I thought that the Spirit Devouring Rats would be enough. I didn't expect them to pass two rounds in a row! I don't believe that they will be so lucky in the third round! "
Situ Heng, who was behind him, did not comment. Instead, he showed a slight look of disdain. His attitude towards him had gradually changed from admiration to contempt. However, he only dared to do this behind him. He still had to be more respectful in front of him.
"In the sky above that piece of empty land, I set up a Starlight Indexing Array with the Concealment Talisman. He also buried 36 Pure Emptiness Stones in the ground, as well as a sleeping Magma Beast. As long as the Magma Beast is awakened, this place will soon become a swamp of lava under the effect of the Pure Emptiness Stones! "
He took out an array board and placed it flat on the ground. The array board was dotted with small white dots, and in the middle was a lump of soil.
"This is the largest area of control. Trash from the rookie mercenary corps, enjoy the fire mud bath! Hahahaha! "
Gu Yuesheng seemed to have seen the other party's struggling expression. He laughed and quickly performed a spell with both hands. A series of runes flew from his palms into the entire board, and rays of light began to circulate.
In the resting caravan, Li Yunxiao suddenly opened his eyes.
He was the first to feel the fluctuations of the array. His pupils shrank as he stared at the ground. He instantly jumped up and shouted, "Everyone, be careful! There's something underground! "
Everyone was awakened from their meditation. They were all stunned and did not seem to notice anything.
Zhu Lei also frowned and said, "Grandmaster Yunxiao, is your premonition wrong? Everything is fine now, then … "
Suddenly, his words came to an abrupt halt. The entire ground had become extremely loose. In the blink of an eye, his feet had sunk into the ground.
Not only him, but the whole caravan, including the Dragon Horse and the carriage, also began to sink, as if it had become a swamp!
"There's indeed a problem!"
Zhu Lei was shocked, he gathered his True Qi and was about to soar up, but he suddenly found that the True Qi he had just revolved actually flowed directly into the ground, as if it was sucked away.
"How could this be?!"
He turned pale with fright and tried to circulate his True Qi again, only to find that it was exactly the same as before. It seemed that there was something in the soil that would absorb the True Qi as soon as it came into contact with it.
He was not the only one. Everyone realized this and became anxious. Many of them had already sunk to their waists. A few of the Dragon Horses were struggling and neighing, sinking even faster.
"Young Master Yun, what should we do?"
Ding Ling 'er also revealed a horrified expression. Her thighs had also sunk in. Currently, Li Yunxiao was the only one who had escaped from this misfortune, standing in the air.
Li Yunxiao, on the other hand, had a calm expression. He said, "Let's take a look first."
Zhu Lei felt a little dizzy. He said, "What's there to look at? You're the only one who hasn't sunk yet. You just need to pull us out one by one!"
The situation was critical, and he did not notice that Li Yunxiao could actually stand in the air with his Martial King cultivation.
Li Yunxiao said, "Is it that when you circulate your True Qi, it will leak out from under your feet, as if it was absorbed by the soil?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hai Lin was overjoyed. He said, "As expected of Master Yunxiao. You knew it at a glance. How do we break it?"
"It really is the Clear Stone."
Li Yunxiao frowned. He said, "The Clear Stone is a type of mutated Earth Element. It has the endless absorption power of the earth. It's very difficult to get out once you've sunk into it. If I were to pull you out, as soon as I come into contact with it, my Primordial Qi would be sucked dry. I can't think of a better way at the moment. "
Ding Ling 'er panicked. She said, "Even you can't do anything about it. This …"
Luo Yunshang suddenly frowned. She said, "Why is there so much fire element in this swamp? It looks like it's going to burn up."
The moment she said that, everyone noticed it too. They were all panicking. Some of them even sank down to their necks.
Not long after, the swamp began to bubble and emit a large amount of hot air. It was boiling. Moreover, the color of the soil gradually turned fiery red. All the martial artists were sweating as if they were being roasted.
"Young Master Yun, it's so hot. I can't take it anymore!"
Ding Ling 'er was the first to cry out. She could not use her True Qi to resist the heat. Her constitution was the most vulnerable. Luo Yunshang had the Nine Yang Body. It was difficult for the fire element to harm her, so she did not feel much pain.
Li Yunxiao sighed. He said, "There's no other way. This is the only way."
He bent down and rushed down. Under everyone's astonished gazes, he jumped directly into the swamp and sank with it.
Ding Ling 'er exclaimed, "Young Master Yun, you …"
In the distance, Gu Yuesheng was overjoyed. She laughed and said, "Haha, they've all fallen into the trap. That person who managed to escape must have gone to save his companions. He's done for! The Pure Space Stone draws on the power of the earth and can absorb endless Essence Qi. Even if he's trying to save someone, he'll be sucked in. Haha! "
Situ Heng's expression was not relaxed. He frowned and said, "Mister Gu, I think that person jumped down himself. It doesn't look like he's trying to save someone."
"Jumped down himself?"
Gu Yuesheng's eyes bulged. She said sarcastically, "Lord Situ is indeed smart. Why don't you try jumping down too? It'll be fun. "
Situ Heng snorted and said nothing else with a gloomy face.
"Alright, we can go over now. It's time to collect the spoils!"
Gu Yuesheng put away the array disc and was about to go over.
"Let's wait a little longer! It won't be too late to go after they're completely roasted by the Lava Beast. "Situ Heng seemed to have some concerns.
Gu Yuesheng said disdainfully, "Hmph, is everyone in the Skeleton Mercenary Group as afraid of death as you are? Under the effect of the Pure Space Stone, no one can escape! "
He ran forward on his own.
Situ Heng thought for a moment and felt that it should not be a big problem, so he followed closely. There were five figures behind him. They also soared into the air and followed behind like five shadows.
"Haha, they've all sunk!"
Gu Yuesheng and the others soon floated above the swamp. They looked coldly at the bubbling red lava below. The oppressive heat rose, and no one could be seen at all.
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the expert in this caravan. However, no matter how expert he is, he will only die when he meets me, Gu Yuesheng! Alright, the mission is over. Let's go back and report. "
Situ Heng said, "This … Mister Gu, the higher-ups said that we must bring Hai Lin back. Even if she's dead, we must get her corpse!"
"Hmph, corpse?" Gu Yuesheng said unhappily, "Under the lava, and with the Pure Space Stone, there's no way to circulate Yuan Qi. Do you think there will be a corpse?"
Situ Heng frowned as if he was in a difficult position. "Before we came out, Lord Rain instructed us to bring the corpse back no matter what. What should I do? Can you take out the Pure Space Stone? I'll go down and take a look. "
Gu Yuesheng said impatiently, "The melting point of the Pure Space Stone is not high. It will probably melt in half a day. However, by then, these people will not even have a corpse left. Isn't he just a useless young master? Why do we need a corpse? We just need to confirm that he's dead! "
"Yes, why do we need Hai Lin's body? Is it for the bloodline power in his body? "
Suddenly, an extremely discordant voice came from the lava.
Everyone was shocked. Their eyes widened as they looked down in disbelief.
Within the steaming lava, a small whirlpool appeared. It slowly expanded, and a figure slowly rose from it. It was Li Yunxiao. He had a bright smile on his face as he squinted his eyes and said, "That Lord Rain you were talking about, is he trying to refine the power of his bloodline?"
"Ha! Who are you?! "
The seven of them retreated in shock. Situ Heng's expression changed greatly as a cold killing intent emerged from his body and locked onto the other party!
This operation was extremely secretive. Their superiors had asked them to obtain Hai Lin's body. If they could not complete the mission, they had to at least not expose their whereabouts. Not only did they not obtain the body, but their whereabouts were also exposed. Even the mysterious Lord Rain of the Skeleton Mercenaries had been found out. Then …
They could only kill them all!
Otherwise, they would not be able to escape punishment when they returned!
Mister Gu's expression darkened as he coldly said, "You're the one who broke through two of my trials? How old are you? What rank of arcane master are you? "
From the Soul Power undulations coming from the other party, he was undoubtedly an arcane master. However, what shocked him was that he could not see through the other party's rank. He could only see his age, which was only fifteen years old …
"Two trials?"
Li Yunxiao smiled as he pointed downwards. "Does this count as one trial?"
Mister Gu was furious. It was as if his pride had been stabbed. "Brat, which sect are you from? Who is your master?" he asked angrily.
Li Yunxiao coldly replied, "You don't need to know who my master is. However, I'm very interested in you. Not bad. Fifth-rank arcane skills. It's just that you're focused on studying some boring secret techniques. Otherwise, your achievements would definitely be much higher. Judging from your age, you're not even thirty, right? Tsk tsk, not bad. "
If someone else had said this, it would have been pleasant to hear. However, it came from a fifteen-year-old fifth-rank arcane master. In Gu Yuesheng's ears, it was a huge mockery.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
He flew into a rage and roared, "Don't think that I'm the best in the world just because I have some talent. Today, I'll teach you how to respect your seniors!"
"Fifth Curse, Mirror Flower!"
An evil power suddenly surged from his body, causing the space to fluctuate. It seemed to be slightly distorted as it swept forward.
