In an instant, the crystal wall that enveloped the surroundings shook violently under the influence of a violent and devastating power, producing a series of deafening booms.
The 6 mountain-like giant snow toads were also trembling at this moment. Although they didn't move, their 6 pairs of huge eyes were oozing black blood at the same time. Their aura was declining rapidly.
Before the tremors subsided, the roars of several Flood Dragons suddenly rang out from within the crystal wall.
Then, a blazing flame suddenly lit up in the black light that had yet to disperse. Three fire dragons that were a hundred zhang long condensed from blood-red flames rushed out of it. The flames in their mouths were rolling, and they suddenly rushed towards the crystal wall that was densely covered with black veins.
"Boom", a heavy sound was heard.
The black crystal wall suddenly shook, and the surface suddenly emitted black smoke. It melted away instantly.
A loud sizzling sound rang out in the night sky, and the three crimson fire wyrms pierced through the black crystal wall, creating a large hole in it. They then intertwined with one another before transforming into an incessant river of crimson flames that swept toward the two men.
The chubby muscular man had already flown back to the head of the golden-eyed snow toad. Seeing that the great array was broken, the 2 people's complexion changed drastically, and they quickly made gestures.
The next moment, the 6 snow toads opened their mouths at the same time, spitting out a large amount of black cold air, condensing into an ice wall in mid-air, facing the blood flame river.
At this moment, Han Li's body swayed as he flew over the edge of the crystal wall. His clothes were in tatters and he appeared to be in quite a sorry state, but in reality, his internal organs were only slightly shaken and he wasn't seriously injured.
He raised his head to look at the blazing river of blood flame, and a complicated look flashed through his eyes.
The blood flame river was not just the power of the fire attribute law, but also mixed with the power of the blood law. The aura revealed was quite similar to the aura of the Island Master of the Red Moon Island who had previously fallen.
Chen Xi moved his gaze over and saw that Gan Jiuzhen's clothes were torn in many places at this moment, and it revealed a large expanse of delicate skin that was fair like jade. The red veil on her face had vanished a long time ago, causing her gorgeous and peerlessly beautiful face to reveal a wisp of paleness.
There wasn't the slightest hint of softness in her eyes. Instead, they were filled with a piercingly cold killing intent. The square jade pendant in her hand shone brightly. The runes on it flickered, and the blood-red color on it became much lighter.
Han Li was almost sure that this woman was undoubtedly Jiao San at this moment.
After he left the Red Moon Island, Jiao San said that there were still some things to deal with. It probably included the treasures left by Gongshu Hong.
"Puff puff puff"
The sound in the sky continued, and a large black mist continued to rise from the intersection of ice and fire, covering half of the sky like dark clouds.
The feminine man and the woman were no longer as relaxed as before.
Their cultivation was not as high as Gan Jiuzhen's, and their biggest reliance, the Six Toad Fire Melting Formation, was suddenly broken. At this time, they looked at each other and saw a trace of retreat in each other's eyes.
On the other side, the three Snow Toads had also been called back. However, the cold air that the six strange beasts spat together could barely resist the erosion of the blood flame.
Seeing this, Gan Jiuzhen snorted and spat out a ball of blood essence, which made her face paler.
She quickly pointed with her finger, and the ball of blood essence twisted and deformed into a mini dragon. It flashed and disappeared into the jade pendant in her hand.
Following that, another dragon roar was heard.
The blood light on the jade pendant became brighter, and the fourth Scarlet Flame Blood Dragon flew out from it. In an instant, it rushed into the blood flame river, causing the rolling flames to suddenly rise, and the momentum was stronger than before.
In contrast, the color of the jade pendant became a little lighter.
As the red light in the air shone brightly, it turned into a sea of red flames. A heart-palpitating aura suddenly spread.
The feminine man and the woman only felt that their heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the blood in their blood vessels seemed to be rushing wildly uncontrollably.
The two were shocked, and they quickly divided some of their celestial spiritual power to stabilize their minds. Without the support of the celestial spiritual power provided by the two, the six Snow Toads' cold air suddenly weakened.
As time went by, the surging crimson flames with an even more powerful aura immediately came crashing down, instantly drowning the Snow Toad and the two of them.
Two miserable howls came from within the crimson flames.
From time to time, magic weapons lit up in the blood flame, but there was no more movement after a flash.
At this time, Han Li had just put away the nine white flying swords, then he grabbed in the void with his palm again. Wisps of celestial spiritual power came out from the tip of his finger, and he began to slowly collect the Heavy Water dust that scattered around after the Heavy Water Ripple Thunder exploded.
After a while, there was finally no more movement in the blood flame.
Gan Jiuzhen made a strange gesture with one hand and waved forward. The rolling blood flame immediately turned into four blood dragons that soared into the sky and disappeared into the jade pendant in her hand.
There were only two broken corpses left in the air, and they fell to the ground without any support.
As for those Snow Toads, although they were mutated beasts, their physique was not as good as the body of an immortal. They were actually refined into nothing.
After Gan Jiuzhen took out a few elixirs and swallowed them, she reached out her hand and waved. The two storage bracelets flew into the air and fell into her hand.
She didn't even look at it, and she directly threw one of them to Han Li.
Han Li didn't hesitate, and he directly raised his hand to catch it.
"Mr. Liu, since you made a move just now, I have been wondering.
Before this trip, have we met somewhere? "Gan Jiuzhen looked at Han Li with a slightly scrutinizing look and asked.
"Mr. Liu, you are so beautiful. If I had seen you before, it would definitely be fresh in my memory. However, I don't remember having any interaction with you in the past." Han Li's expression didn't change, and he replied indifferently.
When Gan Jiuzhen heard that, her pair of beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. Obviously, she didn't believe much of Han Li's words.
However, she didn't have the intention to continue to ask.
She slowly said, "No matter what, I owe you for today's matter.
And I, Gan Jiuzhen, hate owing favors the most in my life. Consider this Green Wind Immortal Lock Talisman as a thank you gift. "
After that, she waved her wrist, and a purple talisman flew out of her sleeve and floated to Han Li.
Han Li raised his hand and waved, and he caught the talisman in his hand. He glanced at it and saw that the talisman was densely covered with extremely mysterious silver lines. It was a high-level talisman written in a silver script.
The spiritual power on the talisman was abundant, and it seemed to be of a higher grade than the High Zenith Invisibility Talisman and the Origin Armor Talisman.
"Thank you, Mr. Gan." Han Li cupped his hand slightly, and he put away the talisman, planning to study it when he had time.
"I can ignore the matter of you following me secretly. But if there is a next time, don't blame me for being merciless." When the woman in the red dress saw this, she didn't waste any more time. After throwing this sentence, she turned around and left.
Han Li looked at the direction that the woman disappeared in, and a wry smile appeared on his face. He didn't stay for long, and he flew in the direction that he came from.
Not long after, he returned to where the flying boat was.
The location of the battle just now was very far away, so no one on the flying boat discovered anything. The two Body Integration Stage cultivators of the Cheng Quan Merchant Guild were still sitting on the deck of the flying boat.
Han Li's body swayed, and he instantly disappeared, silently returning to his room on the flying boat.
The night passed by in the blink of an eye.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the flying boat set off.
Gan Jiuzhen's disappearance was naturally discovered by the man with the Kou surname not long after that.
Aside from Han Li, no one else on the flying ark knew what had transpired that night, and Han Li naturally didn't reveal what had transpired that night, either. He merely feigned ignorance.
The man with the Kou surname was rather perplexed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, they hadn't arrived at their destination, and he hadn't paid them any compensation, so it wasn't a loss for him to have Gan Jiuzhen escort him for a long distance.
In contrast with the Maze Forest, this Black Rocky Desert was extremely barren, and there wasn't even a single living being to be seen.
The white flying boat sped up to its maximum speed, and it didn't even bother to unleash its white mist restriction as it focused all of its spiritual power on increasing its speed.
The flying boat flew through the air at an extremely fast speed, and it didn't even bother to unleash the white mist restriction around it.
Even though there were no signs of demon beast attacks in the surrounding area, Han Li still followed the man with the two Body Integration Stage cultivators to stand guard around the flying boat.
Close to half a day passed by quickly, and the flying boat gradually entered the depths of the Black Rocky Desert.
Han Li stood on the side of the flying boat and cast his gaze downward.
Just then, he could clearly sense that the gravitational pull from the ground down below had begun to intensify.
The white flying boat had also been affected slightly, and the white light emanating from its surface began to shimmer erratically as it resisted the gravitational pull, thereby slowing it down slightly.
Han Li paused momentarily before spreading his enormous spiritual sense several thousand feet into the ground.
"What an extremely rich vein of ore; there's even a lot of Essencefused Dark Iron Ores down there. No wonder it can produce such powerful gravitational pull..." he murmured to himself in a surprised manner.
Aside from that, there were no Dark Beasts lurking within a radius of around 1,000 feet, unless they were hiding even deeper underground.
Han Li continued to extend his spiritual sense deeper into the Black Rocky Desert.
In the next instant, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Due to the fact that this was an underground mine, all types of chaotic underground origin Qi and gravitational pull intertwined with one another as he ventured deeper into the Black Rocky Desert, thereby impeding his spiritual sense from proceeding any further.
He didn't force his spiritual sense into the surroundings upon seeing this. Instead, he released his spiritual sense into the surrounding area.
"Hmm?"
Not long after that, Han Li abruptly raised his head and let loose a cry of surprise.
However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he refrained from making a sound, and blue light flashed through his eyes.
Moments later, a Body Integration Stage cultivator on the other side of the flying boat abruptly rose to his feet as his expression changed slightly.
In his perception, there were some black lizards in front of him.
He had already been to this place on many occasions, so he was quite familiar with the Black Rocky Desert. He immediately identified these to be a type of Dark Beast commonly found in the Black Rocky Desert known as the Blackback Iron Lizard. These lizards had bodies that were tougher than steel, but they weren't all that powerful. The ones that had appeared up ahead were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
His only concern was that these iron lizards lived in packs, and there were often hundreds of millions of them. If he were to encounter them, it would be very troublesome.
