Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 576 - 366 Spirit Sea Earth Crystal
Chapter 576 -366 Spirit Sea Earth Crystal
Whoom!
Sword Light burst out like a flood, stirring up the waters for a thousand yards around, where hundreds of drifting threads of Sword Light shot out like Electric Light, instantly turning three huge green-black Ghost Octopuses into hornet nests.
Meanwhile, Daoist Zhai Kong and others also made their moves, each surrounding and capturing three to five Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms.
This was the third day since they had set up the trap.
In three days’ time, they had eradicated nearly a hundred Ghost Octopuses, but the Qiu Ling Plate was still nowhere to be found.
Zhao Sheng’s thoughts stirred, and three streaks of starlight suddenly flew back, circling and revolving around him as he stood.
At that moment, on a nearby stone cave dwelling, three figures under azure water shields quickly flew forward to surround the carcasses of the Ghost Octopuses, busily gathering useful materials.
The Golden Core Main Priest might not take the corpses of Second-stage Sea Demons seriously, but for a bunch of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were rare resources for cultivation.
Soon, a short and thin old man flew next to Zhao Sheng, holding up a piece of phosphorescent white bone the size of a pumpkin, and said with an obsequious smile, “Sir, this is Ghost Octopus Brain Bone. Please accept it.”
Zhao Sheng took the Ghost Octopus Brain Bone and saw that deep within the bone, a faint cloud of black mist surged, struggling to break free. Looking closely, within the depths of the mist, a writhing shadow of an octopus twisted incessantly.
“Keep it as a reward!”
Zhao Sheng casually tossed it back.
Hong Qingqiu happened to see this and complained through telepathy, “Brother, you’re being too wasteful! That thing could easily be exchanged for a few thousand Spirit Stones. It could also be made into a decent Spiritual Artifact. If offered to the Treasure Vault, one could get a hundred merits!”
Zhao Sheng replied, “These past few days, we’ve killed quite a few Ghost Octopuses, so we’re not short a piece or two. Rewarding these youngsters can also be considered compensation for disturbing their secluded cultivation.”
“Hehe, brother, you are kind-hearted. These three youngsters have made a fortune in the past few days. They wish we could stay here longer.”
Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows but before he could respond, he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.
Almost at the same time, Daoist Zhai Kong suddenly sent a telepathic message, “Be careful, someone is coming. No, that person is being followed by a large number of Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms—there are… too many.”
“Eh?”
Upon hearing this, Hong Qingqiu and Tu Xinjing were both startled and looked to the left together, only to see a gray light speeding towards them from the pitch-black water above. Behind it, for some unknown reason, a layer of even deeper darkness had formed—those were all Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms, possibly numbering over a thousand?
“How can there be so many!” Hong Qingqiu’s spirit shook, and even his Mystic Light seemed slightly unstable.
Zhao Sheng frowned and looked at Daoist Zhai Kong. It had to be said that in such a situation, this Late-stage Golden Core senior brother was the most critical force.
Daoist Zhai Kong also happened to look back at him and telepathically conveyed a hidden message: “This is a bit troublesome. Such a scale of Ghost Octopus swarm will surely have more than one or two third-tier Thousand-year Ghost Octopuses. I’m not afraid, but what I fear is that you will not be able to handle it.”
“Senior brother, rest assured.”
Zhao Sheng nodded with a smile, and at the same time flicked his fingers, sending out five Geng Gold Sword Pills like stars, bursting with billions of starlights, wherein profound and vast Sword Intent was secretly concealed.
“Mr. Hong, Brother Tu, quick, take action! I am Lv Kong, and there must be a Qiu Ling Plate in that horde of Ghost Octopuses behind!”
In the blink of an eye, the gray light arrived in front of everyone and from within the light cluster, a bearded, antiquated-looking old Daoist with a panicky expression telepathically conveyed to everyone.
“Daoist Zhai Kong, should we flee or fight?”
Tu Xinjing, after steadying himself, clenched his teeth and said, “One must venture through dangers for wealth. Let’s take a big gamble, all or nothing.”
“Stop the nonsense!”
Hong Qingqiu pointed toward the stone cave dwelling, “Let’s get inside first; we must not let the Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms encircle us to death. Try to delay as long as possible. With so many Ghost Octopuses gathered, the other Fellow Daoists will not stand by idly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded old Daoist flashed and quickly darted into the nearest cave mansion, leaving behind a message: “…quick, get in!”
Whether it was bad luck or something else, this man happened to enter the place containing whale brains.
“Everyone, take care!”
No sooner had Zhao Sheng spoken than his figure suddenly vanished from everyone’s sight.
Daoist Zhai Kong was startled to see this, “Junior brother!”
But at that moment, the swarm of Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms had already caught up, covering the skies and earth in a black, boundless tide.
Using Divine Sense to scan the swarm of Ghost Octopuses, there were indeed several huge creatures among them, each arm hundreds of yards long.
“Go!”
Daoist Zhai Kong’s expression changed slightly, his body radiating light as he streaked into a cave mansion dozens of yards away. Hong Qingqiu and Tu Xinjing followed suit, darting in after him.
The next moment, numerous thick tentacles swept across, striking the stone walls with a crackling sound, leaving numerous deep and shallow marks.
Hundreds of the terrifying Ghost Octopuses swarmed in, the dense, green-black mass moving back and forth, occupying the sea area for dozens of miles around.
“Aah!”
Bang!
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator, failing to escape in time, was entangled by several tentacles around his limbs and waist, as a thick black tentacle swept toward him from midair.
With a boom, the sea water within a three-yard radius was vacuumed out by the strike, so powerful that it was like a heavy mountain, instantly bursting the man’s Protective Spirit Armor.
The next second, the man was torn into countless pieces by numerous clawing arms.
Woo woo!
After a muffled roar, the swarm of Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms seemed to receive a command, immediately drilling in groups into nearby stone cave dwellings.
The massive Thousand Clawed Ghost Worms that were as big as elephants could actually squeeze into a human-sized stone cave, which was simply astounding.
A few breaths later, a nearby stone cave suddenly burst forth with dazzling light and a series of thunderous roars could be heard from within. A large amount of octopus blood and flesh erupted from the cave entrance, turning the surrounding sea water pitch black.
