About a hundred miles away from Luo Zheng, there were strange creatures hanging from vines.
The lower half of their bodies were like half of a gourd, while the upper half had bones that curved upwards. From the ends of the bones, there was a shining golden mane.
The bones were the bow frame, and the mane was the bowstring. These short creatures were the Arrowhead Essence Demons.
At this moment, they were taking out long green arrows and shooting them out without any hesitation.
The vines beside the Arrowhead Essence Demon leader had already borne a huge fruit. This fruit looked exactly like an eyeball, with a pupil and a sclera. This vine with an eye was called the Heaven's Eye Rock Vine.
The Heaven's Eye Rock Vine could bear a fruit that looked like an eye. Its eyesight was extremely strong, and it could see tens of thousands of miles away.
The Victorious Sky Rat King said that the Arrowhead Essence Demons used the Shadow Imprint to lock onto them, but he was only half right. The Arrowhead Essence Demons really relied on this eyeball. After finding Luo Zheng's group through the Shadow Imprint, they could directly see Luo Zheng's group.
All the other Arrowhead Essence Demons were telepathically connected. They could attack according to what their leader saw.
The relationship between the Arrowhead Essence Demons and the Heaven's Eye Vines was similar to the relationship between the He Meng Tribe and the Blazing Maple Forest. They were all associated races.
"What a strong body. The Green Willow Arrows had no effect. No wonder this person could kill Hei Meng …"
The Arrowhead Essence Demon leader could see that Luo Zheng was moving at high speed. Round after round of arrows were shot out, but it did not slow him down at all.
The leader's heart sank. He immediately ordered, "Change the arrows. Black Jade Bone Arrows!"
Hearing the leader's order, all the Arrowhead Essence Demons' hearts sank. However, they still turned around. A black hard bone gradually extended from their gourd-like bodies. They actually forcefully pulled out this hard bone!
The process of pulling out the hard bone was extremely painful. Blood spurted out, and some of the Arrowhead Essence Demons could not help but cry out.
When the hard bone was pulled out, there were traces of black gas lingering around it. Then, they used the hard bone to string the bowstring. These bones were actually the Black Jade Bone Arrows that their leader had mentioned!
Every Arrowhead Essence Demon would grow six Black Jade Bones in their lifetime. These Black Jade Bones would not regenerate. If all six Black Jade Bones were pulled out, their lives would also wither.
In other words, they were using their lives to shoot out the Black Domain Bone Arrows!
Normally, Arrow Sprites would only use the Black Jade Bone Arrow when facing a mortal enemy. For example, when their clan's mortal enemy, the Sky Stork, attacked, Arrow Sprites would not hesitate to use it.
However, the temptation of Jie Yan's bounty for the "Secret Soul of Broken Bones" was too great, and the target happened to be passing through the territory of the Arrow Cluster Sprites. Of course, they were unwilling to let it go.
Under the leader's guidance, all the Black Jade Bone Arrows turned into a rain of swords.
At the same time the black jade bone arrow was shot, the leader of the arrowheads suddenly let out a long howl!
"Shh —"
Amidst this long whistle, all of the black jade bone arrows strangely stopped in the air.
"Feng, Feng, Feng …"
A strange shadow began to appear above the black jade bone arrow.
It was a strange beast head with green skin and fangs. It looked ferocious.
The arrow-headed demons possessed the unique bloodline of the "Winged Ghost". When the black jade arrow was fired, the leader also activated their bloodline ability.
"Whoosh —"
As the leader's voice became shrill, the long arrows with the heads of the "Winged Ghosts" let out wails and flew toward Luo Zheng's group a hundred miles away …
When the arrow-headed demons changed the Black Jade Bone Arrow, the green arrow rain on Luo Zheng's side naturally stopped.
However, Luo Zheng did not slow down at all. He was shot by the Arrow Cluster Sprites. He did not intend to let these guys go!
"The arrow-headed demons only shot three rounds before stopping?" Donghuang asked suspiciously.
"This is not in line with their way of doing things …" Elder Gall shook his head.
"The arrow-headed demons are not a powerful clan in Taiqing Heaven. The reason why they have a place is that they have a very powerful arrow. It is said that this arrow can only be shot by consuming their life force …"
Just as Nuwa was speaking, the Heavenly Hound of Trigram roared fiercely again.
Previously, the Heavenly Hound of Trigram would immediately warn when facing all kinds of dangers, but it was far less intense than this time.
Then, Luo Zheng saw a large group of black dots floating in the distance. They were heads with sharp teeth.
"Be careful, Luo Zheng. It's the Black Jade Bone Arrow."
This warning came from the Primeval Lord of Heaven in his mind.
Although Elder Gall, Nuwa, and Fuxi had heard of the arrow-headed demons, they had never provoked this clan. They did not have a deep understanding of the Black Jade Bone Arrow. Even Nuwa had only heard of it.
"Are these bone arrows very powerful?" Luo Zheng asked.
"They are arrows shot at the cost of one's life. They can directly consume the opponent's life force. This is the same as Ji's Purple Rain of Decay," the Primeval Lord of Heaven continued to explain.
There was a great ability in the Truth of Life called the Purple Rain of Decay. When this rain fell, it could corrode all the life in several large regions. It was a great killing weapon for harvesting lives.
In this battle at Li Mountain, Ji basically faced experts at the Immortal Realm. Their life force was extremely vigorous, so they naturally did not fear the corrosion of mere raindrops.
However, the Black Jade Bone Arrow was different. On one hand, it was more powerful than the Purple Rain of Decay. On the other hand, it was not scattered like the Purple Rain of Decay. It was enough to devour a single target.
In the process of understanding, the Black Jade Bone Arrow at the front had already shot over. Its target was Nuwa.
Luo Zheng did not hesitate. His right hand grabbed the Black Jade Bone Arrow at lightning speed.
With this grab, the powerful force crushed the bone arrow. However, the head of the Feathered Ghost attached to the bone arrow bit over, leaving a shallow mark on Luo Zheng's arm.
"Whoosh …"
Then, the head of the Feathered Ghost disappeared. At the same time, Luo Zheng felt a slight chill in his body. It was as if something had disappeared with the head of the Feathered Ghost.
It was the life force …
Luo Zheng instantly understood.
"Luo Zheng, are you alright?" Nuwa sharply sensed that this bone arrow was not simple.
"I'm fine!"
Luo Zheng relied on his vigorous life force and did not hesitate too much.
Facing the dense Black Jade Bone Arrows, his arms, which were as long as three feet and as wide as a wooden barrel, waved like two doors.
These Black Jade Bone Arrows also had a certain level of consciousness. Their target was still Nuwa and Donghuang on Luo Zheng's shoulder. However, once the body of the bone arrow was destroyed, the head of the Feathered Ghost could only attack from close range.
Luo Zheng swept over and destroyed dozens of bone arrows. Those Feathered Ghost heads bit Luo Zheng's arm.
Every time a Feathered Ghost head disappeared, Luo Zheng felt his body turn cold. It was as if a part of his life force had been taken away.
In the beginning, Luo Zheng did not change much. However, as Luo Zheng destroyed more and more bone arrows, his body finally showed signs of decline.
