Chapter 55 Great Harvest, Target Divine Thunder!

As the distance got closer, the jade pendant in his hand became warmer.

"Should be arriving soon."

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes and looked forward, only to see a yellow figure rushing towards him.

Han Lingsha's face turned pale, and she kept throwing talismans behind her, making bursts of sharp roars.

Tired of running.

Behind Han Lingsha was a square-faced man in black clothes and barefoot, who was manipulating a huge silver sword and continuously smashing the huge fireballs condensed by the talismans.

Looking at the big man in black and barefoot in the distance, Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I was worried that I couldn't find this person, but I didn't expect that he would show up at my doorstep.

"Hand over the Flame Flower, and perhaps I, Yan, will spare your life."

Looking at Han Lingsha fleeing in panic, the barefoot man snorted coldly and swung the silver sword in his hand vigorously.

In an instant, the sword energy filled the air, covering the sky and the earth, as if it was going to chop Han Lingsha into pieces.

Feeling the sharp sword energy coming from behind, Han Lingsha's face turned pale. Being chased by this barefoot man had consumed many of her mid-level defensive talismans.

"Junior Brother Chen, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Han Lingsha showed a bitter look on her face and took out the last khaki-colored intermediate-level talisman, and spiritual power poured into the talisman.

In an instant, a deep yellow light flowed out from the talisman.

"Boom!"

As a series of huge roars were heard, a huge ochre-colored rock appeared out of thin air behind Han Lingsha.

Dense sword energy continued to swing down and landed on the extremely thick ochre-colored rock.

"Crack! Click!"

Deep sword marks appeared on the ochre-colored rock wall.

With the protection of the earth wall, Han Lingsha had a chance to catch her breath and took out several pills and stuffed them into her mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and his pale face showed a little redness, and his breath had obviously recovered a little.

"You think a mere earth wall can stop me?"

The barefoot burly man sneered and pointed at the huge sword with one hand.

The surging spiritual power poured into the sword, and the giant sword quickly rose into the air and hovered in front of him.

Then it spun rapidly, making a sharp buzzing sound.

"call out!"

The giant sword rushed away, turning into a sword shadow and directly piercing through the ochre-colored rock wall.

The barefoot sturdy man had a ferocious look on his face, as if he had already seen Han Lingsha’s miserable expression.

"Swish!"

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

A golden mantis scurried past and came in front of the barefoot strong man, and two sharp sickles fell quickly.

It chopped straight at the barefoot man's neck.

The sudden appearance of the golden-backed mantis startled even the barefoot strong man.

Without having time to think too much, he tapped the storage bag with his right hand, and a white jade shield appeared out of thin air at his side.

Two golden sickles chopped down heavily.

"Crack!"

The white jade shield split into two halves, and what appeared in front of the barefoot strong man was a mantis head with a ferocious face.

"Damn it!"

The barefoot sturdy man widened his eyes and cursed inwardly: "How can there be such a powerful monster?"

He retreated quickly, constantly making hand gestures with his hands, and then he saw the huge silver sword turned into a ray of silver light and rushed towards him.

He stabbed the golden-backed mantis fiercely.

"call out!"

A flash of lightning disappeared in a flash, and suddenly a lightning shadow appeared behind him.

The figure was completely condensed from thunder, and crackling sounds were endless.

"burst!"

A cold voice, like a call from hell, sounded.

"Boom!"

Following a sharp roar, the thunder shadow exploded instantly, and the surging power of thunder swept over.

It instantly enveloped the barefoot man, followed by a series of shrill screams.

The barefoot man turned into a charred corpse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Junior Brother Chen!"

Looking at Chen Yun who suddenly appeared, Han Lingsha's eyes flashed with joy, and she walked over quickly: "If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by this villain."

"what?"

Looking at Chen Yun wearing a yellow animal skin coat, Han Lingsha was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen, why are you wearing the clothes of a disciple of Spirit Beast Mountain?"

Listening to Han Lingsha's question, Chen Yun smiled slightly: "I'm used to being cautious, Senior Sister Han, don't worry about it."

As he spoke, Chen Yun quickly stepped forward and came to the body of the barefoot man.

With a wave of his right hand, the storage bag on his waist and the silver giant sword were instantly grasped in his hand.

With a gentle swing, the giant sword made a sharp sound of wind, and it turned out to be a top-level attack weapon.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Chen Yun raised his lips slightly and put it into the storage bag. Then he looked at Han Lingsha beside him and asked, "Senior Sister Han, are you okay?"

"No problem."

Han Lingsha waved her hand and said, "It's just that I've consumed a lot of my spiritual energy. Let's go get the ruins after I recover."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Han, I will help you recover."

Chen Yun smiled slightly and waved his right hand towards the golden-backed mantis, which turned into a golden shadow and fell to his side.

Looking at the strong aura emanating from the golden-backed mantis, Han Lingsha's expression slightly changed, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this mantis beast of the first level top? Junior Brother Chen, how did you subdue such a powerful beast?"

Chen Yun smiled slightly and replied casually: "I'm lucky. I got it by chance."

Seeing that Chen Yun was unwilling to say more, Han Lingsha nodded and said in a low voice: "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother Chen."

After saying this, his figure flashed and he went directly into a tree hole not far away, took a few elixirs, and sat cross-legged to recover his spiritual power.

It has to be said that Han Lingsha still trusted Chen Yun so much that she didn't even set up any formation.

Chen Yun glanced at the golden-backed mantis beside him. Its body flashed and turned into a golden shadow, falling under the giant tree.

After several battles, Chen Yun's spiritual power is still abundant, but the two dragon patterns have shriveled up. He can take advantage of this critical moment to restore his spiritual power.

With this in mind, Chen Yun directly found a giant tree, hollowed out the trunk, and hid inside.

Sitting cross-legged, he slowly recovered his spiritual strength.

An hour later.

Suddenly, there were sounds of footsteps in the distance.

"Huh? There's actually a golden-backed mantis here!"

"It's still the top level of strength!"

As a shout was heard, a middle-aged man of medium build, with uneven eyes, black pockmarks all over his face, and about forty years old, walked slowly towards them.

There are seven or eight pockets of different sizes hanging on his body.

There was a look of astonishment on his ugly face. His eyes were fixed on the golden-backed mantis in the distance, his face full of disbelief.

After all, the golden-backed mantis is not an ordinary monster. It is extremely powerful and can reach the fifth-level monster when it reaches adulthood.

If Zhong Wu could subdue this golden-backed mantis, not to mention breaking through the foundation-building stage, there would be great hope for him to reach the Jindan stage in the future.

With this in mind, his face was full of enthusiasm and he quickly raised his hands without any hesitation.

"Whoa!"

As two sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard, two emerald green flying snakes quickly flew out from the sleeves.

The flying snake was extremely fast and appeared behind the golden-backed mantis in the blink of an eye.

Although these two flying snakes are not as powerful as the golden-backed mantises, they are good at speed and are extremely poisonous.

Zhong Wu believed that the golden-backed mantis would not be able to react, and the outcome would be decided as long as it was bitten.

As the emerald green snake approached, two golden lights flashed by.

With a "swish", the two snake heads were quickly chopped off.

"what!!!"

Seeing his two precious wild mountain flying snakes being killed so easily, Zhong Wu's face was filled with anger, and he stared at the golden-backed mantis with blood flowing on its sickle with red eyes.

Zhong Wu tapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and saw dark purple butterflies flying out in an overwhelming manner.

Although these poisonous butterflies are only low-level monsters, they are social insects, and the overwhelming poisonous bees have paralyzing toxins.

"Crash!"

As the poisonous butterfly flapped its wings, dark purple poisonous powder quickly fell from its wings.

They were so densely packed that they seemed to completely cover the golden-backed mantis.

The golden-backed mantis was very smart. Seeing the poisonous powder coming towards it, it did not choose to face the challenge head-on. It flapped its wings and turned into a golden light and disappeared instantly. "What a fast speed."

Zhong Wu's pupils shrank slightly, and he cried out in surprise, and a stream of emerald green light flashed by.

A green tortoise shell the size of a person was suspended in front of him, with an emerald green spiritual light shield emerging from it, completely covering Zhong Wu.

"Huh! Huh!"

As two sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard, two golden sickles fell heavily and hit the tortoise shell fiercely.

The clash between the sickle and the tortoise shell even caused sparks to fly.

Although Zhong Wu was safe and sound thanks to the protection of the tortoise shell, the powerful impact still forced him to retreat quickly.

"It seems that it is still difficult for the Golden-backed Mantis to kill the peak Qi training cultivators who came here."

Chen Yun touched his chin, looked at Zhong Wu in the distance through the light white mist, and murmured softly.

Chen Yun noticed Zhong Wu the moment he approached, but did not take action. Instead, he wanted to test the strength of the golden-backed mantis.

When dealing with the barefoot sturdy man, the golden-backed mantis was evenly matched. Without his help, both sides might end up losing.

However, the barefoot sturdy man is a sword cultivator who is good at fighting, and is very similar to the golden-backed mantis.

Zhong Wu is a disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain. He uses spirit beasts to fight the enemy in strange ways. Therefore, Chen Yun wants to see how the golden-backed mantis reacts when facing such a strange opponent.

Overall, Chen Yun was still very satisfied.

I have to say that it seems worth it to spend a lot of money to refine the White Jade Pill.

Just when Chen Yun was about to take action to finish off Zhong Wu, the golden-backed mantis suddenly howled towards the sky and made a hissing sound.

The pure golden-backed mantis was now filled with blood.

The red light was everywhere, and the insect's eyes, which were clearly black and white, were also shrouded in the red light.

"This should be the rage of the golden-backed mantis."

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, touched his chin, and stopped the idea of ​​taking action, leaving Zhong Wu completely to the golden-backed mantis.

After the rampage, the golden-backed mantis became larger in size.

The vermilion sickle swung down quickly, leaving a series of vermilion scars.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sickle fell rapidly, and a gap gradually appeared on the dark green tortoise shell.

Zhong Wu, who was protected by the tortoise shell, now had a pale face, sweat dripping from his forehead, and looked very embarrassed.

"It's killing me! How did this beast suddenly become so much stronger?!"

Zhong Wu looked at the golden-backed mantis that kept slashing down with its sickle in front of him, his eyes full of murderous intent: "In that case, it seems that I can't let you stay."

As he spoke, he made a spell with his right hand and shouted, "Explode!"

As he finished speaking, a faint red light suddenly emanated from the purple poisonous butterflies in the distance.

Flapping its wings, it pounced towards the golden-backed mantis.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a crisp clicking sound was heard, and Zhong Wu was stunned on the spot for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief.

The emerald green tortoise shell that it was so proud of was now split in two.

The sharp sickle pierced Zhong Wu's neck directly.

A round head rolled directly to the ground.

Following Zhong Wu’s tragic death, the poisonous butterflies emitting scarlet aura slowly fell to the ground without a sound.

“He was actually killed.”

There was a hint of surprise in Chen Yun's eyes. He had originally planned to help, but he didn't expect that the golden-backed mantis could kill Zhong Wu by itself.

You should know that Zhong Wu is not an ordinary Qi training cultivator at the peak of his skills, but a leader among the Qi training disciples at Lingshou Mountain. And now he has been killed by his own spirit beast.

If this were to get out, even those Jindan cultivators would probably be shocked.

Chen Yun walked forward with a smile, slowly walked in front of the golden-backed demon mantis, took out a white jade pill, and stuffed it into the mouth of the golden-backed demon mantis.

"You did well."

Hearing Chen Yun's praise, the golden-backed mantis seemed particularly happy. It waved its sickle gently and chewed the white jade pill to restore its strength.

After settling the golden-backed mantis, Chen Yun looked at Zhong Wu's body. There were six or seven colorful spirit beast bags around his waist.

Chen Yun was not polite at all. He directly stuffed the spirit beast bag and the storage bag into his arms, and then a flame fell.

Burn it quietly.

Chen Yun looked at the golden-backed mantis lying on the ground eating the purple poisonous butterfly and whispered, "I wonder how long it will take, Senior Sister Han."

Chen Yun didn't have to wait long, an hour later.

Han Lingsha, wearing a yellow skirt, jumped down from the tree hole and landed beside Chen Yun. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Chen, for protecting me."

At the same time, she smelled the odor of burnt coals, and with a glance, she discovered a charred corpse on the ground.

"A short-sighted disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain."

Chen Yun smiled slightly and replied, "I took care of it. Let's set off early."

Listening to Chen Yun's words, Han Lingsha did not doubt him and nodded: "Then Senior Brother Chen, please follow me."

The two of them walked slowly towards the core area of ​​the forbidden area, one in front and one behind.

After walking for half a day, a huge wall appeared in front of the two.

Flying is prohibited here, so the only way to pass through this stone wall is through the four huge bronze gates in the east, south, west and north.

These forbidden areas were recorded in the map given by their master, so the two chose the nearest east gate.

Half a cup of tea later, an antique bronze gate appeared before their eyes.

There are many ancient Chinese characters engraved on the bronze door, which are very mysterious and difficult to understand.

The two of them stepped into the bronze door one after the other, and what came into view was a "fairyland" with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Silver chrysanthemums as big as bowls, strange trees as red as blood, purple grass with a strange fragrance, yellow bamboo as thick as a human waist, etc. These are all rare things that are seldom seen in the outside world.

Among these rare plants, there is a winding gravel path that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yun quickly stepped forward, dug up the spiritual objects one by one and stuffed them into his storage bag.

"Junior Brother Chen, why are you digging these up?"

"Although it's rare, it's not very useful."

Han Lingsha frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Chen Yun patted his bulging storage bag and muttered, "I have a lot of storage bags, so it's okay if it's empty."

Seeing that Chen Yun said this, Han Lingsha didn't know what to say.

The growth of the spiritual herbs in the central area is irregular and they may appear in any corner of this place.

This central area is very large, occupying almost one-third of the entire forbidden area, and is surrounded by stone walls to form a large circle.

Starting from the perimeter of the four bronze doors, the entire area is divided into three outer layers.

The place where Chen Yun and Han Lingsha are located is the outermost layer of the central area, which is one mile wide. Although the spiritual herbs grown here are rare, there are no main medicines for the foundation-building pill.

Most of them can only be used for viewing and playing.

The main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill is produced in the second layer of the central area, which is a huge circular mountain range that is shrouded in pitch-black fog all year round.

In this mountain, there are natural sacred places such as caves, dense valleys, and cliffs, as well as artificial buildings such as stone houses and stone halls. All kinds of magical medicines from heaven and earth grow in these places.

In addition, there are countless monsters in the mountains, which are very dangerous.

In the original novel, the black dragon was entrenched in an ancient palace.

If one wants to enter the crater, the Yanyue Sect needs to sacrifice the Yueyang Orb, which can dispel the fog and poisonous miasma in this place.

As for the third level in the center of the forbidden area, it is a giant pagoda that is a hundred feet high, standing in the central area of ​​the blood-colored forbidden area.

If you want to enter it, you need to meet two conditions.

The first is the cultivation level of Nascent Soul Stage, and the second is possessing the key.

The key, in the underground world where Mo Jiao lives, is a golden treasure chest, which is very magical.

However, these are not what Chen Yun can consider now.

"Is that relic on the second floor?"

Chen Yun turned sideways and looked at Han Lingsha not far away.

Han Lingsha spread out the dark yellow map and frowned slightly: "Although it is on the second floor, it is on the edge of the second floor."

Hearing this, Chen Yun touched his chin and thought: "If that's the case, it would be appropriate to enter the Moon Sun Orb before it is activated."

"So as to avoid being disturbed by others."

If it was Qi training, Chen Yun would naturally not take risks, but his cultivation had reached the foundation-building stage, and he also had a top-level golden-backed demon mantis.

Neither the fog nor the monsters can threaten him.

Han Lingsha hesitated when listening to Chen Yun's words, but when her eyes swept to the golden-backed mantis beside her, she nodded as if she had made up her mind: "In this case, it should be fine if you and I are careful."

Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then followed Han Lingsha towards the circular mountain range a mile away.

After half a cup of tea.

The two came to the foot of the circular mountain range.

Han Lingsha held up the map and pointed to a protruding stone wall not far away. She said, "This is exactly the same as the one on the map. Go three miles straight into the mountain and you should be able to see the ruins."

Chen Yun nodded, then smiled at Han Lingsha and said, "Let these guys explore the way first."

As he spoke, the puppets fell to the ground one by one.
