Chapter 59: Oriole in Pursuit

  A faint white mist enveloped the area, a corpse of a nuclear-stage demon beast lay on the ground, the surrounding ground was in disarray, a green python snake and a young man wearing white clothes were by its side.

  It was Ye Fei, who had left the mountain gate several months ago, and Qing Yuanchong, who launched a hunting operation in Jinxiagu Valley. In this month's time, they also killed three nuclear phase demon beasts.

  Before leaving the pass, Ye Fei also carefully checked Qin Yuan and Lao De's storage bags, including the You Ming Xi Hun Sword and other treasures, which were brought back by Qing Yuan Mang at that time.

  But after checking, Ye Fei was slightly disappointed. He had originally thought that this foundation-building period cultivator would have at least one low-grade magic treasure or some divine technique left behind.

  Until the end, Ye Fei only found two high-grade artifacts, one of which was a gray small shield, and about 2,000 pieces of spirit stone. There was nothing else in it. Ye Fei couldn't help but be tongue-tied at this situation. Not even a single material or medicinal pellet was left behind. However, he thought that there must be some hidden reason for this, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

  It turned out that in Qin Yuan's storage bag, two bottles of unknown elixirs were found, a high-grade artifact, and there were as many as 700 or 800 spirit stones. Except for the old man's top-grade artifact and these 2,000+ spirit stones, Ye Fei didn't find much use for the rest, and he planned to sell them if he had the chance.

  After this narrow escape, Ye Fei's original four magical tools, two sets of array methods, and four spiritual symbols were almost completely consumed, leaving only one stealth symbol and the transparent flying needle taken by the old man.

  Pick up the body of the demon beast, Ye Fei turned around and looked at Xiao Qing, saying in a low voice: "Recently, the demon beasts seem to have gathered in the depths. We shouldn't go too deep, lest we get surrounded by the demon beasts."

  "We'll head to Thousand Cliff first, and then proceed to Thousand Cliff Sect. Try to avoid others." After finishing speaking, Ye Fei's figure flashed, and with a single leap, he appeared on the body of Qing Yuan Python.

  Xiao Qing didn't say a word, her whole body flashing with green light, and with a whooshing sound, she carried Ye Fei and rapidly sped towards the outer perimeter of Jin Xia Valley.

  ……

  More than two months later, on a stone slope outside the Qian Duan Cliff, a black centipede about one zhang in size was spitting out black threads towards a tiger-eyed toad on the opposite side. It looked quite ferocious.

  As soon as the tiger-eyed toad came into contact with the black liquid, its skin burst out in a mass of festering sores, emitting a thick cloud of noxious fumes that reeked of evil.

  In a short while, the tiger's eyes dimmed and it kicked its hind legs, losing its vital energy. Seeing this, the black centipede's two rows of dense, dark feet wriggled with excitement, ready to enjoy its prey.

  Just then, a white awn shot from afar towards the black centipede, as if it had been prepared in advance. The black centipede stood up half its body, and its dense black feet swung in unison.

  Whoosh! Fine black threads flashed out one after another, rushing towards the white light.

  Crackling and popping sounds filled the air, a brittle noise that seemed to come from all directions. In an instant, a layer of white frost had formed on the black threads, which then fell to the ground as if frozen in place.

  At the same time, a giant green python appeared beside the tiger-eyed toad, carrying a white-clad youth who stared expressionlessly at the black centipede in front of him.

  "In the nuclear stage, this centipede's toxicity is extremely strong. It was so simple to kill a tiger-eyed toad in the nuclear stage. Be careful, Little Green." The young man in white instructed, not Ye Fei but someone else.

  The black centipede's two antennae on its head swayed gently, and the dense black feet moved slowly, as if it had sensed a hint of danger, quietly retreating backwards, its bright red eyes fixed tightly on Ye Fei and Xiao Qing. A shrill cry was emitted, seemingly warning them.

  Whoosh!

  A blue light shot out, which was the top-grade magic weapon Blue Thin Blade that had been used by the old man to kill Ye Fei. Now it had fallen into Ye Fei's hands. And Ye Fei also jumped down from the python's body.

  Seeing this, the black centipede stood up half of its body, countless black feet waving incessantly, dense black silk threads shooting out, wrapping around the blue thin blade.

  And that razor-sharp thin blade cut off the black lines of potato chips one after another, but in the end it was still tied up by the black silk thread in mid-air, unable to fall even a little bit.

  At the same time, Xiao Qing quickly circled around to one side, blocking the black centipede's retreat. She spat out a series of white awns from her mouth, attacking the black centipede. However, in the end, the white awns and the black silk threads fell to the ground without either gaining the upper hand.

  Hiss!

  Two dark thorns shot out, and they were two poisonous liquids that attacked Ye Fei and Xiao Qing respectively. At the same time, the black centipede seemed to know the weakness of the human body's small size, its body surface flashed with a dark thorn, and its body suddenly increased by more than twice, pouncing towards Ye Fei.

  At the sight, Ye Fei's expression changed, and with a single slap on his waist, a small gray shield flashed out. Under the violent inflation, it suddenly expanded to three feet in size. As soon as it came into contact with the black toxic liquid, it emitted a hissing sound, emitting waves of black gas, and was actually corroded into numerous tiny pits.

  No time to bother with that, for the black centipede was sweeping in with a loud whooshing sound, and when it was two or three feet away, Ye Fei's white boots flashed under his feet as he quickly dodged to one side.

  A burst of black smoke rushed towards Ye Fei, and although he didn't know what kind of killing intent it was, Ye Fei didn't dare to touch it at all. His body flashed and dodged past.

  At this moment, countless black threads suddenly shot out of the black smoke without warning, and one of them rolled towards Ye and wrapped around him.

  This scene was too sudden, and Ye Fei's face also changed slightly, but his hands didn't stop, a spell was cast out, and with a "whoosh" sound, a water curtain condensed and emerged, it was unknown how much more solid than the previous water curtain technique.

  The next moment, Ye Fei's pupils suddenly contracted. The seemingly weak and feeble black silk thread had actually penetrated the solid water curtain, releasing several large fireballs the size of a foot after which it only blocked a small part of the black silk thread.

  And most of the black silk threads went unimpeded towards the leaves and wrapped around them in a single turn.

  A white python shot over from a distance, and in an instant, the black silk thread was frozen into an ice sculpture that fell to the ground. Xiao Qing appeared beside Ye Fei at some point, and with a swing of his tail, he collided with the black centipede.

  Bang!

  The two bodies shook slightly, and it was a stalemate. The black centipede's body twisted, opened its mouth, and sprayed black venom towards the Qingyuan snake, which was only inches away, and it seemed that there was no escape.

  Suddenly, a thick layer of ice armor appeared on the surface of Qingyuan's python body, but it was still unable to withstand the corrosion of the black toxic liquid. The ice armor melted away at a visible speed.

  Just as victory was within their grasp, the black centipede, which had not been at a disadvantage, suddenly flipped its body and quickly retreated backwards, looking like it was about to make a distant escape.

  But the next moment, the black centipede arched its body and let out a painful scream from its mouth. It rolled on the ground with a slight pause, and faintly visible was a dark red color emerging from its forehead.

  A cold air swept out, and in an instant, the black centipede was frozen in place, unable to move a single inch on the ground, and was actually trapped by Xiao Qing.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei's face flashed with joy, unexpectedly this centipede was so troublesome, worthy of being a mid-level demon beast in the nuclear stage, and it was quite difficult for him to deal with it. This was also because the law enforcement instrument in his hand was not very handy, and the magical powers were all gone, only knowing a few basic spells.

  "Haha, finally subdued it! Look at how hard he tried to deal with that tiger-eyed toad, definitely didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada, and our yellow sparrow sneaking up from behind!" Ye Fei laughed and said, looking towards the black centipede.

  "Not good!" Ye Fei let out a low shout, his face changing in an instant. Under the fierce flash of his white boots, he leapt out several zhang away.

  At the same time, only three "whooshing" sounds were heard, and three streams of light cut through the air where Ye Fei had been standing, followed by a faint cry from afar!

  "Haha, although the reaction is not bad, you can only be a mantis after all. I am the oriole behind your back." As soon as the words fell, a lean old man appeared in Ye Fei's line of sight. Xiao Qing also had a wary expression on her face. (End of chapter)
