In the pitch-black sky a dozen or so kilometers away, a strange crimson mist suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching them.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see what was in the fog.
Liu Ming's heart moved and he muttered something. Black ripples appeared in his eyes and the scarlet fog quickly became clear in his eyes. It was a strange bee that was a foot long. Its body was shriveled and there was a white bone spur on its tail, making people shudder.
"This ghost bee looks quite familiar …" Liu Ming had seen many bee type beasts, but the ghost bee in front of him that was full of sinister aura gave him a very familiar feeling. It seemed that he had seen similar species somewhere before.
"Yes, it's in the Ghost Hell Region of the Barbarian Ghost Sect!" Liu Ming's eyes lit up and he suddenly remembered.
When he was still a youth, there was also a species called the Ghost Bee in the Ghost Hell Region that the Barbarian Ghost Sect's Six Yin Martial Ancestor had created. Its appearance was almost exactly the same as the Ghost Bee in front of him, just that it was much smaller.
"There are probably ten thousand Ghost Bees. We need to hurry, so let's go around them." The leader of the tenth squad, the Burly Man, suggested.
Each of these ghost bees exuded a strong yin qi. Even if the people present were Real Pellet State and Pseudo Pellet State cultivators, they couldn't get away in a short time after being entangled with them.
The others nodded their heads and the light suddenly rose higher, flying over the swarm of bees.
The swarm of Ghost Bees also discovered Liu Ming and the others. The dark red cloud let out a rumbling sound and surrounded them.
The swarm of Ghost Bees covered an area of a few acres. Fortunately, Liu Ming and the others were much faster than the swarm of bees, so they were able to escape before the swarm caught up.
"Phew, we finally escaped. It's rare to see such a large swarm of Ghost Bees." Qi Yue looked back at the swarm of Ghost Bees behind him and said with lingering fear.
At this moment, dozens of red Ghost Bees, each the size of a millstone, suddenly flew out from the Ghost Bee swarm. They pounced at the group with incomparable speed. Their speed was far faster than the rest of their kind. In just a few flashes, they had pounced behind the group.
"Be careful, these are the bee generals of the Ghost Bee swarm. Each of them is comparable to the cultivator of the Crystallization Period." The man surnamed Min shouted. He suddenly turned around and made a sword gesture. A gray sword light shone brightly.
A streak of grey sword light abruptly appeared, transforming into a massive sword in a flash. Then, with the hilt of the sword as the center, it rapidly spun and danced in the air, instantly transforming into a massive grey disc that engulfed the several tens of oncoming Ghost Wasps. None of them were spared.
"Puff! Puff!" The hard shells of these Ghost Bee Generals were like paper, and were shattered by the rapidly spinning sword lights. Then, several muffled sounds rang out almost at the same time, and dozens of Ghost Bee Generals were instantly minced into dust, exploding like fireworks and disappearing without a trace.
This scene made Liu Ming secretly surprised in his heart.
Even if he wanted to kill so many Crystallization Period Ghost Bees in an instant, he couldn't do it easily. Although this Friar Min was only at the early stage of Jin Dan, his Sword Controlling Technique shouldn't be underestimated.
"Let's go. With so many Ghost Bees being killed, I'm afraid it has attracted the attention of the Queen Bee." Just when everyone was slightly stunned, the Blue-eyed Old Man urged again.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a sharp long cry came from the swarm.
Everyone's expression changed. They sped up and sped forward.
The swarm made a rumbling roar as if they received a signal. They quickly changed direction and chased after Liu Ming and the others.
After a full two hours, Liu Ming and the others finally got rid of the Ghost Bee Swarm that was like maggots in their bones. Because they were a little flustered, they slightly deviated from their direction.
After a little adjustment, everyone continued to move toward the destination of Fort XIX.
Along the way, Liu Ming and the others encountered several waves of various ghost attacks. The journey was delayed for a long time. When the group finally arrived at the destination of Fort XIX, it was already a few hours later than the scheduled time.
Fort XIX was a castle building built in the hilly area. It covered an area of about seven or eight acres. However, it had become a ruin at the moment. There were some broken walls everywhere. What was more terrifying was that there was a huge crack that was more than ten miles long and several meters wide on the ground. It penetrated through the center of the ruins of the fort.
Liu Ming flew in the air and looked at the situation below. A chill passed through his heart.
This huge crack on the ground was obviously formed by a spell. It was probably the work of the Evil Ghost Legion. It was probably this blow that completely destroyed the fort here.
Besides, the yin qi here was several times denser than that in the vicinity of Golden Light City. As Yue Qi had said, even with his powerful spiritual energy, his spiritual awareness could only explore a little more than 10 miles in this place.
The yin qi nearby was so cold that it seemed to penetrate into his bones. He silently operated the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison to dispel this uncomfortable feeling.
"Fort XIX was built more than a hundred years ago. It was built with the strongest materials. Now it has been destroyed like this. It seems that the strength of the Evil Ghost Legion that attacked here is very strong. There should be more than one Jin Dan State evil ghost commander." The Burly Man landed in the ruins. After a careful inspection, he said faintly.
"Looking at the situation, the disciples stationed in the fort have all been annihilated. I'm afraid that the other party has a Celestial State Ghost Commander." The man surnamed Min sighed as he could faintly see some blood stains in the ruins.
The ghosts of the Evil Ghost Realm increased their strength by devouring the flesh and blood of human cultivators. As for the defeated cultivators, they would directly devour them.
"You two, now is not the time to be emotional. The orders from above are to find the lost Bowl of Good Fortune and find the surviving disciples. It seems that the latter is not necessary. Let's talk about finding the Bowl of Good Fortune now." The Blue-eyed Old Man said unhurriedly.
The Burly Man and the man surnamed Min looked at each other with a hint of displeasure on their faces. However, they still nodded and flew back to the sky.
"The Bowl of Good Fortune's teleportation restriction was disrupted and it was teleported to another place. According to the speculation of the upper echelons of the army, this range should be within a radius of ten thousand miles with the fort as the center." The Blue-eyed Old Man said faintly.
"Although this range is not large, the yin qi here is very dense and the divine sense is greatly restricted. Fortunately, we have the Sensing Bead given by the Sect." The man surnamed Min said and took out the pale golden bead with a flip of his palm.
"There is no time to lose. Let's hurry up and search for it." The Burly Man said with a serious expression.
"In my opinion, we should split up and search for it." The Blue-eyed Old Man suddenly said.
The Burly Man's expression changed slightly. The man surnamed Min also frowned and said, "Brother Zhuo, this place is deep in the Evil Ghost Realm. An army of ghosts could appear at any time. If we split up and encounter a large group of ghosts, wouldn't that be terrible?"
"It is precisely because of this that we must find the Bowl of Good Fortune as soon as possible and return to Golden Light City." The Blue-eyed Old Man's expression was firm. It seemed that he had made up his mind.
The red-robed woman and the others beside Liu Ming also had ugly expressions. However, they had no right to interrupt the discussion of the three captains.
Liu Ming glanced at the man surnamed Min and the others before looking away. It did not matter to him whether they split up or moved together.
With his current strength and the Bead of Mountains and Rivers, even if he encountered an army of ghosts, as long as it was not a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ghost Commander, he had a hundred percent chance of escaping.
The man surnamed Min and the other two discussed for a while and finally decided to split up. Each of the three teams was responsible for exploring an area.
Not long after, the Blue-eyed Old Man silently led the team of four towards a stretch of mountainous terrain behind the fortress. Qi Yue nodded at Liu Ming before quickly disappearing into the distance with the Blue-eyed Old Man.
"Old Zhuo is taking advantage of the fact that he has the Psychic Blue-Eyed Spirit Body. He wants to find the Fortune Bowl by himself and take all the credit," the burly man said faintly as he looked in the direction where the blue-eyed old man had gone.
The man surnamed Min smiled and did not say anything. He cupped his hands at the Burly Man before leading Liu Ming and the others towards a desolate hilly area on the left side of the fortress.
The Burly Man also quickly led his team towards a forest on the right side of the fortress.
After Liu Ming and the others entered the hilly area, the six of them lined up in a row and each took out a Sensory Bead. They began to search for the area.
Liu Ming injected his magic power into the bead. The bead lit up with a layer of golden light and immediately emitted an invisible wave that spread towards the surroundings.
The Sensory Bead could spread for dozens of kilometers, which was much wider than the range of the Divine Sense.
As Liu Ming controlled the Sensory Bead, he turned his head to look down.
He had seen the map of the area around Fort XIX and knew that this hilly area was relatively flat and did not have many ups and downs. Therefore, it was not difficult to search for the area. The only thing that worried them was the various ghosts that lived in this area and the Evil Ghost Legion that appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
However, they were quite lucky today. They searched for four hours in a row and only encountered a few weak wandering ghosts that were easily killed. They did not encounter any major problems.
However, after a period of time, the group could not help but show signs of fatigue.
After all, the Sensory Bead consumed a lot of mental power. Even though they were all False Core Stage cultivators, they still found it difficult to use it continuously.
"Brother Min, why don't we stop for a while and rest for a while before continuing our search?" Liu Ming saw that the red-shirted young woman and the others all showed signs of fatigue. His figure moved and he flew to the man surnamed Min's side.
When the man surnamed Min heard this, his gaze swept across the faces of the others. After a moment of thought, he said, "That's fine.
Let's rest for a while. We'll continue after half an hour. However, pay attention to the safety of your surroundings. "
Liu Ming nodded and waved his hand at the four people behind him.
The red-shirted young woman and the others released their Divine Sense to quickly explore their surroundings. When they didn't find anything out of the ordinary, they landed on the hilly area below with a peace of mind.
Because time was of the essence, the four of them sat cross-legged on the ground and each took out a pill to recover their magic power. They closed their eyes and began to refine it. They strived to recover their magic power and mental power as soon as possible.
