The howling of the cold wind was mixed with the cries of various monsters.
Their surroundings were a series of rolling hills. Their line of sight wasn't clear, and everything was covered in a yellow mist. There weren't any green spirit grasses in this area. Instead, it was filled with Yellow Hibernating Corals. They were called corals because they were similar in shape to the corals in the sea, but they grew in these hills.
However, the difference was that the Yellow Hibernating Coral wasn't an inanimate object. There was a coral demon worm inside. Regardless of whether it was a human cultivator or other demons, once they got too close, the coral demon worm would explode and attack them. The coral demon worm was shaped like a coral and had its roots in the ground. If one was entangled by it and forcibly dragged underground, it would be extremely dangerous, even if one's cultivation was higher than Qi Lai's.
The Yellow Hibernating Corals appeared to be sparkling and translucent, but when it came to absorbing the flesh of humans or monsters, it wasn't the slightest bit lacking.
At this moment, an azure-robed, silver-haired cultivator was carefully avoiding the wriggling Yellow Hibernating Corals. He pointed a finger and a gust of wind blew away the silk in the air.
The Yellow Hibernating Coral didn't just grow on the ground. As one's cultivation deepened, they would release a bit of Yellow Hibernating Fragrance into the air. If one breathed in too much, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would feel dizzy.
The azure-robed, silver-haired cultivator was naturally Lu Xiaotian. The white-armored woman had taught him and Xiang Qingcheng about the Yellow Hibernating Corals several months ago. However, ever since they'd shaken off the pursuit of the demons and Zhao Clan, they were temporarily unable to rely on Long Shi's assistance. Although the three of them were extremely careful, they still couldn't avoid encountering other stone monsters.
After killing several tenth and eleventh grade stone monsters, Lu Xiaotian, Xiang Qingcheng, and the white-armored woman once again encountered a twelfth grade and four tenth grade black-striped stone pythons. The two sides inevitably engaged in fierce battles. Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng struck the twelfth grade black-striped stone python one after another, but it was the same as the other stone monsters and possessed astonishing defensive power. Their attacks didn't deal any fatal damage. The white-armored woman was engaged in a fierce battle with the other four tenth-grade Black-Striped Stone Pythons.
The strength of four tenth-grade Black-Striped Stone Pythons was not to be underestimated. Even if the white-armored woman was at her peak, she wouldn't be able to gain much of an advantage when facing four monsters with such astonishing defensive power. Moreover, he was injured at that time.
While Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng were engaged in a fierce battle against the twelfth-order Great Demon, they also had to take care of the white-armored woman from time to time. However, the twelfth-order Black-Striped Stone Python had been repeatedly injured, causing it to become even more ferocious. After entering the berserk state, his strength increased again. Originally, it wasn't easy for Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng to suppress this Great Demon. After his strength had increased greatly, he could no longer assist the white-armored woman at any time.
The battle between the two sides became even more intense as they fought and retreated. Just as Lu Xiaotian was pondering over the traces of Weiwei, a huge demonic wind blew over with a large amount of sand and stones. Lu Xiaotian's group of three, as well as the other tenth-order Black-Striped Stone Pythons, were all caught in the wind.
Even powerhouses like Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng found it difficult to maintain their composure in this overwhelming demonic wind. They couldn't stay in one place for too long.
Under the influence of the demonic wind, Lu Xiaotian heard a cry of alarm. Just as he was about to rescue the white-armored woman, several vines suddenly extended over and whipped away the tenth-order Black-Striped Stone Python fighting the white-armored woman. Without waiting for the white-armored woman to react, the vines wrapped around her and disappeared in the demonic wind that filled the sky with sand and stones in the blink of an eye.
Those vines acted too quickly and their methods were fierce. Lu Xiaotian was also engaged in a fierce battle with the twelfth-order Black-Striped Stone Python, so it was very inconvenient for him to move in the demonic wind. It was already too late for him to lend a hand.
After the demonic vines swept away the white-armored woman, the tenth-order Black-Striped Stone Pythons that were fighting the white-armored woman joined the battle against Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng.
After all, this was the Black-Striped Stone Pythons' home ground. As a Physique Cultivator, Lu Xiaotian was able to adapt to the harsh environment of the demonic wind very quickly. Xiang Qingcheng was also able to restrain himself for a short period of time. However, he was unable to adapt to the demonic wind for a long time and inevitably consumed a lot of his transcendence energy. This gave the twelfth-order Black-Striped Stone Pythons an opportunity to whip him with their tails. Although Xiang Qingcheng tried his best to resist, it was inevitable that he would suffer some injuries. Originally, the two sides were barely able to maintain a stalemate. However, this stalemate was immediately broken. Lu Xiaotian saw that the situation was not right and fled with Xiang Qingcheng, fighting as they fled. The Black-Striped Stone Pythons naturally didn't agree.
Lu Xiaotian fought as he fled. After using the Great Soul-Devouring Technique, he was finally able to shake off the Black-Striped Stone Pythons that were relentlessly pursuing him.
However, Lu Xiaotian's luck wasn't very good. He didn't even catch his breath before encountering a twelfth-order Stone Demon Bear.
The twelfth-order Stone Demon Bear was just as warlike as the other Stone Demons. Without saying a word, it confronted Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng.
The Stone Demon Bear's demonic energy was boundless. Its strength was above that of the Black-Striped Stone Pythons of the same level. Lu Xiaotian once again used the Great Soul-Devouring Technique, using the twelfth-order Stone Demon Beast's soul essence. After a hard fight, he once again escaped with Xiang Qingcheng, who was injured on top of his injuries.
Behind them, Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng continued to flee. They rolled all the way until they reached this undulating mountain range. Only then did they temporarily settle down.
However, ever since they entered the Stone Demon Cave, they had been running all the way here. Lu Xiaotian didn't know where they had escaped to. The Stone Demon Cave was too deep. Coupled with the influence of the demonic wind, it wouldn't be easy to find the way back, even if he used the Spirit Chasing Dog. At this time, Xiang Qingcheng's injuries had yet to fully recover. Lu Xiaotian didn't have much confidence in being able to walk out of the Stone Demon Cave alone.
Moreover, even if they left the Stone Demon Cave, they might encounter the Devil Race and Zhao Race cultivators. The situation wouldn't be good. Therefore, Lu Xiaotian wasn't in a hurry to leave. Staying in the Stone Demon Cave wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Although it was a bit dangerous, there were many tyrannical Stone Demons. It would be of great help to Lu Xiaotian's cultivation of the Ten Revolving Essence Integration Technique.
"Hmm?" Lu Xiaotian suddenly felt some changes in the magic power in his body. It even felt like it was about to erupt. Lu Xiaotian's expression shook. He hadn't felt this feeling for a long time. It was the feeling of breaking through the shackles of magic power after he entered the Early Nascent Soul Stage and drank the Fierce Monkey Wine.
However, he hadn't drunk the wine yet, but he still felt this feeling of magic power accumulating.
"Could it be that I'm about to break through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage?"
