Although the Sea Race old man's speed had greatly increased after he sprouted a pair of blood wings, he was still unable to advance or retreat as he pleased. With a moment of carelessness, he really lost track of Liu Ming.
However, Old Man Li was a Crystal Level cultivator after all. Faced with this situation, his body came to a halt on top of a mountain. Instead of getting angry, he began to laugh.
"Kid, could it be that I can't find you because you've hidden yourself? That palm just now, although it didn't take your life, it has left a trace of my aura on your body. With the strength of my consciousness, finding you is but a matter of moments! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Li immediately formed a hand sign in mid-air and suddenly pointed a finger at his forehead.
With a "pu" sound, a terrifying, almost tangible, and enormous mental strength immediately shot up into the sky from the old man's body. After a roll in the air, it spread out in all directions. Regardless of whether it was the forest or the ground, almost everything was swept by strands of mental strength.
The Sea Race old man originally looked like he was sitting on a fishing platform, but after his mental strength swept the area seven or eight times and still did not find anything, a look of surprise finally appeared on his face.
Through his own aura, he could vaguely feel that Liu Ming had definitely stopped in the nearby area and had not gone far. However, when he really used his mental strength to search, he was unable to determine his true location.
The old man's thoughts turned quickly a few times. Suddenly, his hand sign changed, and the blood inscriptions on his body and the blood light behind him suddenly shattered into spots of blood light. They actually transformed into densely packed blood-colored beetles the size of beans.
These blood-colored beetles were crystal clear and one could tell at a glance that they were not real. However, with a "weng weng" sound, they shot out in all directions.
They either pierced through the trees or directly flew into the ground and disappeared. Some even directly entered a few small mountains nearby.
However, the old man immediately sat down cross-legged in mid-air and closed his eyes. He did not say a word.
This was a unique secret technique that the old man cultivated!
These illusionary beetles did not have the slightest bit of attack power, nor were they able to carry out overly complicated orders. However, through the telepathic connection, every single one of them could be treated as his eyes.
In this way, even if there were some places that could deceive his Divine Sense, in this situation, he could see everything clearly.
…
The dozen or so beetles disappeared into the belly of a certain mountain in a flash, then immediately dispersed to search everywhere.
Some of them flew straight up to the top of the mountain, while some of them plummeted to the ground.
Very soon, they found several natural caves and seven or eight underground riverbeds that were hidden very deep.
However, these blood-red beetles did not find anything after searching the caves and rivers for a while. Without any hesitation, they left the mountain and headed to other areas to search.
In one of the seemingly clear underground riverbeds, there were a few small white fish swimming slowly in the water.
Suddenly, after a small fish moved forward, it seemed to have bumped into something and was bounced away. Circles of ripples immediately appeared in the river in front of it, but after a while, everything returned to normal.
The small fish waved its tail and moved forward a few more times. After confirming that it really could not pass through directly, it immediately made a turn with the other small fish and swam past as if it was going around something.
At this time, if someone had the ability to see through things, they would be able to see with a glance that in the river in front of them, Liu Ming was in a layer of crystal clear water that was no different from the river outside. Moreover, he was holding a small blue flag that was a few inches tall in one hand, and a black bead that was wrapped in a thick mist was floating in front of him.
Streams of clear water flowed out of the small blue flag and continuously poured into the surrounding water curtain.
The thick mist that the black bead emitted filled the entire water curtain space, causing the inside to become hazy as if it was drizzling.
Liu Ming sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed. There was no breath coming out of his mouth or nose, as if he was a dead man.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that at some point, two black glyphs had been stuck to his back, crisscrossing each other. A layer of transparent crystal light faintly appeared on the glyphs, covering all the wounds on his back.
… …
Old Man Li commanded the beetles outside to search for him for almost an hour. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from his body, and the blood-colored inscriptions on the surface of his body suddenly flashed and dispersed. His expression immediately became extremely ugly.
Almost at the same time, the blood-colored beetles that covered the entire area immediately self-destructed, not leaving a single one behind.
"He was actually able to escape the search of both my Divine Sense and the Spirit Blood Insects! It seems that this human brat most likely has some kind of strange treasure protecting him, which is why he can hide so deeply. However, it doesn't matter, I have many methods to force you out! "Old Man Li's expression changed several times before he let out a long breath and muttered to himself.
Following this, with a sway of his body, he rushed into the sky. After a few blurs, he appeared over ten thousand feet high in the sky. With a shake of his sleeve, a palm reached out and slowly pressed downwards.
"Pu!"
A gray, misty shadow of an acre large palm immediately appeared in the air below the old man's body. From it, streaks of silver lightning surged out and pressed down on a mountain top below.
An earth-shattering sound rang out!
The top half of the mountain was covered in lightning, and a small part of it was forcibly crushed.
Following this, the five fingers of the large hand spread apart and swept towards another nearby mountain top, forcibly sweeping away a small portion of this mountain from the middle.
In the following period of time, under the old man's control, this gray, misty giant hand seemed to be unstoppable. In a short period of time, all of the nearby mountains were pushed down, and the ground was filled with rubble.
During this process, Old Man Li had already used his Mental Energy to cover the area. As long as there was the slightest sign of abnormality, it would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.
However, there was still no result!
"Good, very good. Since there is still no trace of it, it must be hidden in the depths."
The expression of the Sea Race old man became more and more unsightly. After looking deeply at the ground below for a moment, he suddenly reached into his sleeve and took out a stack of light blue formation flags. At a glance, it was astonishingly similar to the Essence Water Flag in Liu Ming's hand, but the spirit inscriptions on the surface were slightly simpler.
After the old man's figure moved, he immediately flew around the edge of the area and threw the formation flags in his hand down from the sky. The moment they landed, they all transformed into giant blue flags that were twenty feet tall.
In an instant, a large formation was vaguely formed, and the entire area was hidden within it.
Following this, Old Man Li once again blurred and appeared above the center of the formation area. He formed a hand seal with one hand and began chanting.
"Rumble!" A loud rumbling sound rang out!
The surface of the blue flags flashed with blue light and immediately, a large amount of seawater surged out.
However, the strange thing was that under the restraint of the formation, the seawater all floated at a low altitude. Not a single drop fell down.
In this way, in a short while, the seawater gathered into a "lake" that was more than a hundred acres in size.
At this moment, a fierce expression appeared on the face of the old man in the air. With a splash, his entire body jumped into the "lake".
In the next moment, the shadow of a giant light silver fish tail fiercely slapped the surface of the water. The entire "lake" instantly came to life!
All of the seawater, with the fish tail as the center, began to revolve faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, a giant whirlpool was formed. With an ear-piercing screech, the seawater turned into a sharp cone and drilled downwards.
The entire ground began to tremble. Large pieces of stone and soil were crazily brought out by the spinning seawater.
This Old Man Li actually planned to use the power of the formation to turn the surrounding area upside down, leaving no place for Liu Ming to hide.
However, just as the Old Man Li manipulated the seawater to sink several feet into the ground, he suddenly let out a soft "huh". The originally crazily spinning seawater paused for a moment and actually stopped in an instant, returning to its "lake" state.
Following this, the seawater inside parted and the half-fish old man swam out. There was a trace of suspicion on his face.
At his waist, there was a round shell-like ornament that was humming incessantly.
The old man frowned and patted the item with one hand. Immediately, a blue light flew out from it. After a series of distortions in the air, it transformed into a blurry male face.
"Li Kun, no matter where you are right now, immediately scram back here. Remember, this is an order from the High Lord. Do you know that because of your dereliction of duty, the High Lord has no choice but to act ahead of time? He is extremely unhappy and has ordered you to return to the city within four hours to continue holding the fort. Heh heh, if you miss the time, I don't need to say anything more about the consequences. " Once the face appeared, it immediately opened its mouth to speak a series of words. It sounded rather angry and with a "pu" sound, it flickered a few times before dispersing.
"What, the High Lord has acted ahead of time? Could it be that this brat escaped from the High Lord's side? I was wondering how we could meet so coincidentally. This is really troublesome! " After hearing these words, the old man's expression changed greatly and a trace of fear flashed across his face. However, when his gaze swept across the messy ground below, his eyes revealed an unwilling expression.
"Even if I have no time to split myself, I must kill this human brat here and snatch the Holy Beast Egg back. Even if I have to pay a price for it. "The old man surnamed Li thought quickly for a moment before making up his mind and muttering to himself.
Following this, he moved one hand and took out a light silver rectangular box from his bosom. There was a yellow talisman that looked a little shabby.
The old man looked at the silver box in his hand and hesitated for a moment. However, he immediately clenched his teeth and tore the talisman apart and opened the lid.
Immediately, a golden light shot out from the box and condensed in the air. It immediately transformed into an exceptionally mighty golden-armored man.
The golden-armored man's eyes were tightly shut, but his face was extremely similar to the old man surnamed Li. However, he was much younger and looked to be in his thirties.
