"The number of demonic beasts around Qingluo City is more than that around Guanshan City. There are also powerful high-level demonic beasts in Qingluo City, so we didn't dare to enter. We hid and circled around Qingluo City for two days before rushing to Guanshan City. " Shopkeeper Kong looked at Weisuo and said, "In these two days, the number of demonic beasts seems to have decreased, but there are still demonic beasts coming from the sky from time to time. Along the way, the crack in the sky may not have been sealed."
"Shopkeeper Kong, you were able to escape all the way here. In addition to this formation, do you have any special magic tools?" Weisuo continued to ask, "I heard from Shopkeeper Kong that you escaped with another Shopkeeper Qian. Where is Shopkeeper Qian now?"
"In addition to Shopkeeper Qian, there is also a disciple of Shopkeeper Qian named Zhang Nian who escaped with us." Shopkeeper Kong glanced at the passage behind them and explained, "The two of them are now searching in other areas of Guanshan City. They are looking to see if they can find some medicinal pills or magic tools that can replenish Zhen Yuan. "
After a pause, Shopkeeper Kong added, "To be honest, we picked up several magic tools around Qingluo City, but the medicinal pills that can quickly replenish Zhen Yuan are almost used up. Also, I need a lot of materials to set up this formation, and I'm almost out of them. Shopkeeper Qian and his disciple are mainly looking for the ruins of the old shops. They want to see if they can get the materials that we need to set up this formation from the ruins of those shops. As for the special magic tool that Fellow Daoist Ji mentioned, it is a gourd of Golden Spirit Bees raised by Shopkeeper Kong. These Golden Spirit Bees can fly for thousands of miles, and if they sense any powerful demonic beasts, these Golden Spirit Bees have a unique way of transmitting information between themselves, so Shopkeeper Qian can quickly sense it. "
"Golden Spirit Bees?" Weisuo's eyes moved, "I heard that this kind of Golden Spirit Bees have a limited lifespan. They are either not used normally, or once they are used, they will die after ten days of exhaustion. And this kind of Golden Spirit Bees is very strange. They are either expensive or all of them fly out. "
"That's right." Shopkeeper Kong showed a wry smile, "Shopkeeper Qian's batch of Golden Spirit Bees can only last for a few days before they all die."
"Right." Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Kong seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Weisuo and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ji, when did you arrive in Guanshan City? Didn't you say that there were several great cultivators protecting the cultivators of the Northern Spirit City to escape from the Ancient Teleportation Array? Why couldn't you escape from the Ancient Teleportation Array? How did you escape all the way from the Northern Spirit City to the Guanshan City? "
"An extremely terrifying unknown Demon Beast, whose strength may have reached the ninth level, appeared and destroyed the ancient teleportation array. At that time, there were still four to five thousand cultivators who were unable to escape from the teleportation array. "At that time, I was already heavily injured. I had no choice but to use one of my beast-controlling techniques to control a Purple Flame Giant Beetle. Then, I dug a bloody hole in its back and crawled inside. Not long after, I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I was already in the Guanshan City. " Weisuo looked at Shopkeeper Kong and Liu Cheng with a wry smile, "The Purple Flame Giant Beetle I was in has been dead for about two to three days. Judging from this time, I should have been in the Guanshan City for two to three days. However, I only woke up half a day ago. Moreover, I had been in the Purple Flame Giant Beetle all this time. It hasn't even been an hour since I came out. "
"Fellow Daoist Ji, you're really lucky to be able to escape in this way despite being so heavily injured." Both Shopkeeper Kong and Liu Cheng were amazed to hear that Weisuo had escaped in the form of a Purple Flame Giant Beetle.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist, since you only came out of the Purple Flame Giant Beetle for less than an hour, did you collect the Demon Cores and some refining materials of the Demon Beasts in the Guanshan City? " But then, Shopkeeper Kong seemed to have thought of something. His eyes flashed with a very surprised and doubtful look.
"Of course not. So you didn't collect the Demon Cores and refining materials, Shopkeeper Kong?" Weisuo blinked. "When I saw you appear just now, I thought you were the ones who collected them."
"We only arrived in the Guanshan City at noon today. According to our calculations, we arrived at Guanshan City later than you woke up. After that, we found this place and built this formation so that we could have a shelter. It was only when we went out to search that we happened to hear your voice and saved you. " Shopkeeper Kong and Liu Cheng glanced at each other. "The Monster Cores and the materials suitable for refining these Monster Beasts were not collected by us."
"That means other cultivators have already passed by here." Wei Suo frowned. "I wonder if Shopkeeper Kong and the rest of you know anything about those strange trees outside?"
"We've never heard of them before." Shopkeeper Kong shook his head. "It's very likely that some Demon Beasts carried the seeds of these trees with them and they grew after they fell. They look very strange and have grown quite a lot along the way from Qingluo City to Guanshan City. Along the way, we saw the corpses of several cultivators under the trees that bear red fruits, so we did not dare to approach these trees. "
"Then do you know anything about the outside world, Shopkeeper Kong?" Weisuo couldn't help but ask.
"We don't know anything about the current state of the Demon Beasts. To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Ji is the only living person we've seen in the past ten days. We've only seen cultivator corpses along the way. Even Guanshan City has become a graveyard of trash. We can't help but have the misconception that the sky dome has been completely occupied by Demon Beasts and is no different from the wilderness outside. "Shopkeeper Kong sighed.
Weisuo was speechless.
They knew almost nothing about the outside world and didn't know which city the Demon Beasts had spread to. However, they were certain that there were cracks in the sky that weren't sealed. That was why Demon Beasts were still pouring into the sky from time to time. However, this didn't mean much to Weisuo. Even if the cracks were sealed, there would still be more cracks in the sky.
What he wanted to know now was which city would be the safest to escape to.
"Pa!"
Right at this moment, a clear and audible explosion suddenly sounded from outside. It was clearly the sound of some kind of spell technique exploding.
Weisuo, Shopkeeper Kong, and Liu Cheng's expressions changed at the same time.
A moment later, the boulder above was moved away, and a breeze blew in. Then, a kind-looking old man with a head full of white hair and a ruddy complexion in a purple-red robe and a very reserved, ordinary-looking young man in green clothes flew in.
"This …?" When they saw Wei Suo lying on the ground, both the old man and the green-clothed young man, who seemed to be somewhat cautious, were filled with astonishment.
"Old Qian, what was that commotion just now?" Shopkeeper Kong asked nervously.
"We happened to encounter two Wolf Head Bats. They've been dealt with." The purple-robed old man and the azure-robed young man were clearly the Shopkeeper Qian and his disciple, Zhang Nian, that Shopkeeper Kong had mentioned. Shopkeeper Qian immediately looked at Weisuo on the ground and asked, "This fellow cultivator is?"
"This fellow cultivator is Ji Li. He's a cultivator who escaped from Northern Spirit City. He's seriously injured. We happened to meet him when we went out to search." Shopkeeper Kong said to Shopkeeper Qian.
"I didn't expect to meet another surviving cultivator here. Fellow cultivator Ji, it's a pleasure to meet you." Shopkeeper Qian said excitedly. Just as Shopkeeper Kong said, they hadn't seen a single living cultivator for the past ten days. They even had a feeling that the entire sky was occupied by demonic beasts. Now that they saw a strange surviving cultivator, they were very excited.
"I didn't expect fellow cultivator Ji to escape with a purple flame giant beetle … Fellow cultivator Ji is really lucky …"
Then, Shopkeeper Qian, Weisuo, and Shopkeeper Kong talked for a while. When they heard that Weisuo escaped by hiding in a purple flame giant beetle, Shopkeeper Qian and the others sighed.
"Old Qian, did you find anything when you went out?" After a few more words, Shopkeeper Kong asked Shopkeeper Qian.
"No." Shopkeeper Qian's expression suddenly became a bit unsightly. "There must have been cultivators who passed by Guanshan City and searched the city. Not only were there demon beast cores and useful tool refining materials, but there were also traces of rummaging in the ruins of the shops and markets. Also, there seems to be a high grade demon beast on the east side of the city. "
"Then what should we do?" When Shopkeeper Kong heard Shopkeeper Qian's words, his face turned ashen. He was at a loss for words.
Seeing Shopkeeper Kong's expression, Weisuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shopkeeper Kong, Shopkeeper Qian, this formation can't last long?" His true cultivation was at Jin Dan fourth layer. As long as he had four or five days, he wouldn't be afraid of most demon beasts. This wasn't something Shopkeeper Kong and the others could compare to. So in this unfavorable situation, his state of mind was much calmer than Shopkeeper Kong and the others.
"This kind of formation mainly consumes Metal Qi Stones, and can only be maintained for twenty hours at a time. With the Metal Qi Stones and other materials I have, I can only set it up one more time. "Shopkeeper Kong took a deep breath and calmed his mind before explaining.
"It seems that we can only continue our journey while my Golden Spirit Wasps can last for a few more days. Otherwise, with the current situation, even if the demon beasts are suppressed, the cultivators won't be able to regain control of this area for a few days. " Although Shopkeeper Qian's expression wasn't good, his mood didn't fluctuate greatly. It was clear that he had thought of a countermeasure on the way back after failing to find anything useful.
"That's the only way. Otherwise, there will be large groups of demon beasts coming from the sky from time to time. If we continue to stay here, it won't bode well for us. We can only go to the next city and see if there are many cultivators. "Shopkeeper Kong said helplessly.
"How about we hurry in the direction of True Underworld City? Blue Underworld City is only two cities away from Netherworld City where Netherworld Palace is located. We might be able to defend it." After Shopkeeper Qian said this, he looked at Weisuo who had been silent all this while and said, "I wonder if Daoist Ji has any opinions? With Fellow Daoist Ji's current injuries, will you be able to travel? "
"The direction of True Underworld City?" Weisuo's eyes flickered. The direction of True Underworld City was southeast of Guanshan City where they were now. They continued to go deeper into the northern part of the Tianxuan Continent. Weisuo also felt that his Heart Devouring Worm seemed to be in that direction as well. "I also think that it's possible to go to True Underworld City. My injuries are fine, but I can't cast spells. I'll have to trouble you all to bring me there."
