After the Nine-headed Bug finished casting the secret technique, it continued to fly forward. It flew for thousands of miles before stopping. Then, it released tens of thousands of blood-colored hummingbirds again.
These blood-colored hummingbirds were a group of scouting spirit birds that it had secretly cultivated. They were similar to the green-winged birds that Ba She and the rest had used before. They could share the same vision as their masters. Furthermore, these blood-colored hummingbirds were much more powerful than the green-winged birds. They flew three to four times faster and were more sensitive to magic power. The only pity was that the blood-colored hummingbirds could live for a much shorter time than the green-winged birds. They could only survive in hot and humid places like the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
With the speed of the blood-colored hummingbirds, it would only take half a day to spread across the entire Dreamy Cloud Swampland. With these spirit birds, no matter where Shen Luo was hiding, the Nine-headed Bug was confident that it could find him.
The Nine-headed Bug controlled this wave of blood-colored hummingbirds to scout the surroundings and continued to fly forward. Every thousand miles, it would stop and release a spirit bird to increase the speed of its spread.
Soon, an hour had passed. The Nine-headed Bug was about to release another wave of blood-colored hummingbirds when the green compass beside him suddenly flashed. The needle stopped spinning and pointed in a certain direction.
The blood-colored arrow in the Blood Demon Pearl did the same. It stopped steadily and pointed in that direction.
"Could it be that the thief's concealing treasure can only be maintained for a short period of time?" The Nine-headed Bug was surprised and delighted. It immediately used the Blood Cloud Escape to fly in that direction. At the same time, it controlled the blood-colored hummingbirds to scout in that direction.
Although the Nine-headed Bug's Blood Cloud Escape was fast, it was too far away from where the compass was pointing. Furthermore, the opponent's speed was not slow. Even if the Nine-headed Bug flew at full speed, it still could not catch up after 15 minutes.
Just as the Nine-headed Bug was considering whether to increase the speed of the blood cloud regardless of the cost, the guidance in the green compass and the Blood Demon Pearl became chaotic again. It could not determine the opponent's location.
The Nine-headed Bug stopped in its tracks in shock.
Without being able to sense the opponent's location, it would be difficult for it to continue blindly.
Its eyes flickered a few times. It waited in place and continued to release blood-colored hummingbirds.
After a while, the needle in the green compass and the Blood Demon Pearl stabilized again. This time, it pointed in another direction.
"As expected, that Shen Luo releases the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit and Ba Serpent every fifteen minutes. Is he deliberately playing with me? Or are you trying to bait me and stall for time? "The nine-headed bug squinted its eyes.
Shen Luo was with Little White Dragon. If Little White Dragon deliberately set a trap, he had to be cautious.
"Hmph! So what if it's the little white dragon's scheme? I haven't recovered from my injuries in the last battle, so I couldn't use my full strength. That's why you were able to win by a fluke. Now that I've recovered, it's time to settle old and new grudges! "
Next, he didn't continue to chase. With a flick of his sleeve, waves of blood-patterned hummingbirds flew out and quickly spread out.
Since Shen Luo could completely conceal the aura of the Gingko Spirit Fruit and the Ba-She, it would be useless no matter how hard he tried to chase after Shen Luo. The best plan was to spread the blood-patterned hummingbirds throughout the Dreamy Cloud Swampland as soon as possible. Since Shen Luo was deliberately provoking him, it meant that he had a plan. He would not leave the Dreamy Cloud Swampland anytime soon.
The nine-headed bug quickly released all the blood-patterned hummingbirds on its body. Then, it closed its eyes and began to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. It slowly opened its eyes.
The blood-patterned hummingbirds that it released earlier had quickly spread out. In addition to the ones that it released along the way, almost half of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland was now within the detection range of its spirit birds. It was time to find Shen Luo and settle this once and for all.
The nine-headed bug flipped its hand and took out a dark green ancient mirror. It was similar to the mirror that the Ba-She and the other two demons had used to control the green-winged hummingbirds. However, it was at least twice as big. The surface of the mirror was brighter, and the surface of the mirror was also flashing with dense blood-colored light spots.
The nine-headed bug made a hand seal and pointed at the ancient mirror. The blood-colored light spots on the mirror immediately flickered.
The blood-patterned hummingbirds that were considered mild in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland seemed to have been stimulated by something. They flew in all directions, their eyes flashing with blood-colored light. Furthermore, the blood-red antennae near their beaks buzzed and trembled, emitting blood-colored ripples that spread out in all directions.
The nine-headed bug closed its eyes again and waited quietly.
After a while, it suddenly opened its eyes and looked toward the west. A blood-patterned hummingbird in the northwest of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland had discovered Shen Luo's tracks.
"Hmph, I've finally found you. Now that I've got my eyes on you, don't even think about escaping!" It let out a long howl. The blood-colored clouds around its body expanded and enveloped its body as it rolled in that direction.
At the same time, Shen Luo was flying on his sword somewhere in the northwest of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. He turned into a red rainbow and flew forward.
Although using the Yi Wood Celestial Escape Technique was more concealed, its speed was far inferior to flying on the sword. Furthermore, it consumed a lot of magic power. Now that the initiative was in his hands, there was no harm in revealing some of his tracks.
While flying, he silently calculated the time. Almost four hours had passed. He just needed to endure another four to five hours.
He exerted more force on the Pure Yang Sword beneath him. Every time he flew a certain distance, he would change direction. There was no pattern at all. He was trying his best to confuse the nine-headed bug that was chasing after him.
However, Shen Luo didn't realize that in the forest below, there was a blood-colored hummingbird flying every certain distance. Although his flying speed was fast, his whereabouts were easily tracked by these blood-patterned hummingbirds.
These blood-patterned hummingbirds didn't have any demonic aura on them. They were also small. Other than their strange appearances, they were almost no different from ordinary birds. They didn't attract any attention at all.
Shen Luo continued to fly forward for less than an hour. A huge lake appeared in front of him. The lake seemed to be boundless and vast. It was a magnificent sight.
He flipped his hand and took out a jade slip. Inside it was a map. It was the map of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
This was given to him by Ba She. The map was quite detailed.
As he flew forward, he compared his surroundings to determine his location.
"Oh no! That nine-headed bug has appeared right in front of us. It's rushing toward us! "At this moment, Ba She's shocked voice suddenly sounded in Shen Luo's ears.
"What!" Shen Luo's expression changed when he heard this. He immediately put the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit and the Qiankun Bag into the empty jade box. Then, he turned around and flew to the left.
The Pure Yang Sword under his feet shone brightly. Golden and green light appeared on his arms. His speed immediately increased by several times. He flew as fast as lightning.
Even if he didn't use the Thousand Mile Flap, the Wind and Thunder Spirit Tattoos on his arms had the effect of increasing his speed. Furthermore, the consumption of his magic power wasn't too serious.
"No! The nine-headed bug's Blood Cloud Escape is faster! "Ba She said in a panic.
"Is that so?" Shen Luo frowned. He waved his hand and put away the Pure Yang Sword. The golden and green light on his arms expanded. In an instant, it condensed into two huge spirit wings.
With a flap of the Wind and Thunder Wings, he instantly turned into a phantom. His speed increased tenfold. In an instant, he disappeared into the horizon.
