Lou Xiaoyi hadn't even sunk down for more than a hundred breaths when he felt an aura coming from the side!
Divine sense was useless here. The Divine River Sand would absorb everything a cultivator released, including Dao Realm, Divine Sense, and mental energy. Only vision was useful here, and the distance one could see was very limited.
Therefore, when he sensed the aura, he was already very close to the Swordsman.
He pulled out his sword and leaned to the side. This was a purely instinctive action! Zerg might have calculated everything, but he probably didn't expect that Lou Xiaoyi would appear here. In terms of combat, this place might be very suitable for Zerg, who liked to use his physical body to get close, but it was also very suitable for him!
With a sword in hand, he was confident that he could kill a long-range enemy faster than using Dao Realm in close combat!
The next moment, the figure flickered in and out of the quicksand. However, he knew that it was an insect just by looking at its silhouette. It had long tentacles, six legs, and a glowing white mouth. He had seen this form too many times, so it was impossible for him to recognize it wrongly.
He twisted his body and slid past it. At the same time, he raised his sword and attacked from an extremely tricky angle!
The insect was obviously prepared. When Lou Xiaoyi saw it, it also saw Lou Xiaoyi! However, its claws were not as clean as the Swordsman's! There were not many profound angles, and the timing was not right. The coordination with the body was also a bit clumsy, except for the strength of a Demigod.
Was this because the special environment in the quicksand had the same effect on both sides?
He couldn't use Dao Realm here because the Divine Sand could absorb it. However, the Dao Realm Sword Intent in the sword couldn't be absorbed by the Divine Sand. Moreover, the Dao Realm Sword Intent in the insect's body would burst out after piercing the insect's body.
Therefore, it wasn't difficult to kill the insect!
The sword smoothly cut into the insect's body. However, at the last moment, Lou Xiaoyi gave up on using Dao Realm Sword Intent. At this time, a Dao Realm of Slaughter would be enough to take its life, but he didn't do so!
Both sides passed by each other, but the insect was not as ferocious as it should be. It did not even look back as it ran for its life!
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. Otherwise, he would have sent another wave of life energy to Hong Fan.
This thing was not an insect, but a human!
There were too many reasons why he doubted it. It did not have the savagery of a close-range race, nor did it have the instinctive skills of an insect in close-range combat! They came in a hurry and left in a sorry state. How were they like real insects that wouldn't rest until they were dead?
More importantly, as soon as his sword entered the body, he found that the liquid that flowed out was red. It was the color of human blood, not the green and sticky color of Zerg's blood.
With just one contact, he understood the Insect Queen's arrangement in the Quicksand Formation!
The quicksand had its own illusory realm, but it might not be completely an illusory realm. Instead, it was the projection of the countless insect eggs here that was activated by the immortal array! Every creature here was in the form of a bug! He saw others as bugs, and others saw him as bugs too! But they were all humans, so they would definitely subconsciously attack!
Because of the quicksand, divine sense could not be transmitted, let alone sound. Therefore, when they suddenly encountered each other, no one would waste time and effort to communicate and lose the precious opportunity to attack!
In the quicksand whirlpool, everyone was involuntarily spinning with the quicksand. Since everyone's cultivation realm was different, their speed was naturally different. It was inevitable that they would bump into each other. Although the time was very short, only enough for two or three moves, when they looked at each other with hatred, this was the moment of life and death!
Especially for the dozen or so Half Immortals who came later. They originally did not believe that this was Zerg's formation, but the sudden appearance of the bugs would cause their perception to suddenly change. They would go from one extreme to the other extreme, from not believing that there were bugs, to thinking that this place was full of bugs …
This was a very clever reverse psychological suggestion!
When all these aspects were combined, death and injury were unavoidable! If there were a few real bugs inside, then it would simply be unsolvable. It would force you to fight every encounter as if it was your last battle. How could it be good?
Feeling the danger, the only thing he could do was to dive down as quickly as possible to find the lowest point of the whirlpool.
But the lower he went, the more difficult it was. The spinning speed here was slow, but the density of the quicksand was also getting higher and higher! This was directly proportional to the shape of the whirlpool. The closer he was to the opening of the whirlpool, the faster the spinning speed of the quicksand, but the density of the quicksand was also lower. The lower he dived, the slower the spinning speed, but the quicksand had the tendency to solidify.
During this process, he saw another battle with his own eyes!
It was also a confrontation between two seemingly bugs, but in fact, it was a confrontation between two humans. One was obviously more skilled, and the other was not strong enough. As a result, when the two sides came into contact, in a short period of time, the cultivator who was not good at close combat was cut in two. In a normal world, it was not a big deal for a Half Immortal to be killed once, as he could still be reborn.
However, this was not the case! The defeated cultivator was reborn in another place at that time, but his rebirth encountered an obstacle. In the quicksand formation, the sand eggs everywhere were greedily absorbing every trace of life energy. Rebirth was the most outward stage of the reproduction of life energy. As a result, the rebirth could not succeed no matter what. The life energy released at the rebirth point could not catch up with the absorption of the sand eggs!
In the main world, rebirth was a new life. In the quicksand formation, pinning one's hope on rebirth was seeking death.
In such a terrible external environment, even if he could achieve his goal in the end, it was hard to say how many of these people would be left alive. Once the basic critical condition of redness was met, the melon star would collapse and become a bug tide that would sweep across the universe. Everything would be meaningless.
The key was that there were still a few of his friends here!
He was not worried about Senior Sister Yan Cheng. Although her close combat ability was not as good as his, she was much stronger than the other cultivators. This was the tradition of Xuanyuan Swordsman. She could not be killed by others in a few moves. What was more worrying was how many people she could kill?
Qing Xuan was weaker in close combat, but it was not a problem for her to protect herself. The truly terrible one was She She. This was a pure Dharma Meridian cultivator who dabbled in a wide range of things. There was nothing that he did not know about, but he did not like close combat! In the main world, it was not a problem. Not many people could get close to him, and he always had a way to deal with them. However, in the quicksand formation, his method of distancing himself was useless.
He had to go down as soon as possible. He needed someone to help him! However, in the situation where everyone was a bug, how could he confirm each other's identity in a hurry? Gain their trust? This was a very risky attempt. He might recognize the wrong person and put himself in danger, but he had to try. This was his problem.
He needed tacit understanding! On this point, he could not form a tacit understanding with others. He only had his three friends!
He hoped to meet them in the process of descending.
