Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 427: 1 Road to Immortality 18

After collecting the seven ice lotuses and the precious Xuanming True Water from the bottom of the cold pond, the cold pond returned to silence, with only the ripples on the surface of the water testifying to the thrilling moment just now.

Yun Chu's mind moved slightly, and hundreds of fire iron flying ants spread out silently like red fireflies, continuing to explore the rich spiritual energy and abnormal fluctuations in the secret realm.

They passed through a narrow corridor covered with glowing firefly ferns and crossed an underground river flowing with molten gold-like magma. Guided by the flying ants' keen perception, Yun Chu collected several ancient fire Ganoderma lucidum and several crystals containing pure fire spiritual power.

Just as the flying ants were drilling into a huge, colorful crystal stone forest, a subtle but terrifying spiritual power fluctuation was transmitted into Yun Chu's sea of ​​consciousness along with the perception of the fire iron flying ants!

bass!

Yun Chu tapped his toes lightly, and his body turned into an icy shadow. Protected by the faint light of the Liuyunyi, he silently passed over the rugged rocks and instantly reached the depths of the crystal forest.

The scene before me made my heart tighten.

Five men and women dressed in the uniforms of Immortal Medicine Sect disciples are being surrounded by a group of strange "Crystal-Eating Scorpions" that resemble giant scorpions but are made entirely of dark purple crystals!

These scorpions were about half a man's height, their tails gleaming with a venomous glow, and their claws easily inflicted deep scratches on the hard crystal clusters. Clearly enraged by something, they attacked the central defensive circle like crazy.

The disciples were leaning against a huge colorful crystal wall, and the hastily formed five-element defense shield was already shaky!

A male disciple's arm was charred, obviously due to the erosion of toxins. He was gritting his teeth and injecting the little remaining spiritual power into the light shield.

A female disciple was pale and bleeding from the corner of her mouth, obviously suffering from internal injuries.

The commander in the center was a senior brother who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training and was wearing inner sect uniform. He looked anxious. The brilliance of his flying sword was dimmed. He struggled to maintain the main defense position and shouted, "Hold on! Junior Brother Chen's jade talisman for help has been sent! Help will be here soon!"

However, an atmosphere of despair had spread among the crowd, and the attacks of the Crystal-Eating Scorpion were like a tide, one wave more powerful than the other.

At this moment, a gust of cold air swept in without warning!

Click…click, click…

Frost marks!

Countless white frosts spread rapidly along the ground at lightning speed, instantly covering the entire battle circle!

Dozens of crystal-eating scorpions surrounding the front suddenly froze in their tracks. Their deadly scorpion tails and claws were firmly frozen by a thick layer of ice crystals, unable to move. Even the dark purple crystal armor on their bodies was covered with a layer of frost!

The sudden change stunned everyone present.

"Is it Junior Sister Qin?!" The senior brother in the early stage of foundation building was the first to recognize the slender green figure in the shadow of the crystal wall, and his eyes instantly burst into an incredible light of surprise!

The other disciples were also cheered up as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Fairy Fu Shuang!"

"Junior Sister Qin!"

Yun Chu's expression was calm and composed, and she said nothing more. She didn't use her unfathomable Fire Iron Flying Ants; her talismans were more than enough to resolve the current crisis. Amidst everyone's astonishment, she gently raised her jade hand, and a flash of talismanic light flashed from her fingertips!

Several ice spikes condensed around her body like living things, each one as sharp as a sword and filled with chilling cold.

"go with!"

With a clear cry, the ice shards transformed into streaks of white light, tearing through the air! They had no fancy trajectory, but were extremely precise—Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Each ice spike was like the scythe of the god of death, piercing through the relatively weak gaps or joints in the crystal armor of the frozen scorpions with incredible precision!

The moment the ice spikes entered the body, the extreme cold air contained in it burst out.

Click!Click!

Dozens of crystal-eating scorpions were hit by the ice spikes, and before they could even utter a wail, they were corroded from the inside out by the terrifying cold air. Their huge bodies shattered into pieces, and finally exploded into a pile of dark purple ice crystal powder that was emitting a chill!

Sweeped away by the bitter cold.

one move!

It was just a round of flying talisman light and ice spikes!

The first wave of scorpions, which posed a deadly threat to everyone in the field and were the largest in number, were completely wiped out!

The remaining scorpions seemed to be shocked by this thundering move and hesitated for a moment.

This precious breathing space is enough.

"Take advantage of now!" Yun Chu's cold voice rang out, like a cold spring flowing through stones, instantly awakening his fellow disciples who were in a daze. "Reorganize the formation! The injured retreat!"

The senior brother who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining reacted extremely quickly and immediately understood the opportunity Yun Chu had created. "Listen to Junior Sister Qin! Junior Sister Wang, take care of Junior Brother Li, and Junior Brother Zhao, follow me and hold the front!"

The remaining scorpions surged forward again, but their formation was in disarray. They faced the solid sword circle formed by the inner sect elites who had regrouped their fighting spirit. In addition, Yun Chu occasionally shot out a frost that froze a large area or a tricky ice cone talisman from the periphery to fill the gaps, and the situation of the battle was reversed in an instant.

Ice Talisman works wonders!

The ice cone talisman accurately strikes the joints of the scorpions that have escaped the net, slowing down their movements.

A large area of ​​frost continued to spread, slowing down the scorpion group's speed and creating excellent opportunities for fellow disciples to strike.

In less than half a cup of tea, the last Crystal Devouring Demon Scorpion was slain by their combined strength. All that remained in the Crystal Forest were the remains of the Demon Scorpion, icy debris, and a pervasive cold mist.

The crisis was over, and the five disciples all collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, gasping for breath. Their faces showed a mixture of relief at surviving the disaster and deep awe and gratitude towards Yun Chu.

The senior brother who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training was the first to tidy up his appearance and led everyone in bowing solemnly to Yun Chu: "Zhang Mo, a disciple of the Inner Sect Mingfa Peak, along with his fellow disciples, would like to thank Junior Sister Qin for saving our lives! If it weren't for your timely intervention, we wouldn't be alive today!"

The others were filled with gratitude, and kept saying, "Thank you, Fairy Fu Shuang (Junior Sister Qin) for saving our lives!" Even the poisoned male disciple tried hard to salute.

"It is our duty as fellow disciples to help each other. There is no need to be so polite, fellow brothers and sisters." Yun Chu slightly turned sideways to avoid the formalities, a hint of gentleness showing on his cold face.

Yun Chu raised his finger and pointed at the scorpion crystal core on the ground, which was still emitting weak energy. "These crystal-devouring scorpion crystal cores are quite strange. They contain pure spiritual energy and a unique sharpness. They may be beneficial for refining weapons. Senior Brother Zhang, you can share them with your fellow disciples to heal their wounds."

Yun Chu paused, his gaze darting deeper into the crystal forest. The fire ants and flying ants seemed to have made a discovery there, stirring up a certain aura. "The path ahead is uncertain, and there may be more dangers. You are all seriously injured, so you should find a safe place to rest and recuperate."

Zhang Mo and the others were even more impressed by Yun Chu's broad mind and calmness after hearing this. Their strength was damaged, so they really didn't dare to take any more risks.

"Junior sister, you are absolutely right. We will find a place to heal our wounds now. I am grateful for your kindness. If you have any orders in the future, I, Zhang Mo from Mingfa Peak, will never refuse!" Zhang Mo bowed solemnly again.

Yun Chu nodded slightly, saying no more. A green figure flashed, and with a flick of his sleeves, he disappeared into the depths of the magnificent yet perilous secret realm ahead, as if melting into the icy mist.

Her fellow disciples, filled with gratitude and shock, stared at the direction she disappeared in silence for a long time.
